00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. From an apartment parking lot, a Cape Coral

5
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: officer heard panicked cries for help. As he approached the building,

6
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: the screams grew louder. The officer says he spotted a

7
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: man later ideed as Joseph Newell, straddling his victim with

8
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: what appeared to be his hands around her neck. According

9
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: to Newell's arrest report, he was intoxicated and told them

10
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the woman had COVID nineteen, but in reality, she was

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: six months pregnant. We are getting from our cause. Jennifer

12
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Benton with the Abuse Counseling and Treatment Center says they're

13
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: seeing a spike in domestic violence cases that could be

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: linked to coronavirus. Definitely, people are saying home, they're more agitated.

15
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: The center is open to all looking for help. We

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: have a hotline that operates twenty four hours a day

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: that will continue. We have three shelters and they're open

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and they're staff twenty four hours a day. We are

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: here for people especially now with growing concerns over COVID. Nineteen,

20
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: Cape Coral police arrest a man they found beating brutally

21
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: beating a pregnant woman that he says has corona virus.

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: It was Joseph Cory Newell twenty four or Fort Myers.

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: He's charged with a felony aggravated battery, knowing the victim

24
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: was pregnant. Eleven o six pm police dispatch for disturbance.

25
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: They find a person in the parking lot claiming to

26
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: hear screams. They go in and they find the pregnant

27
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: victim on the floor, her face covered in blood. His excuse,

28
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: she has corona virus. Of course she didn't, she's pregnant.

29
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: She was immediately taken to Cape Coral Hospital. Pregnant, yes, coronavirus,

30
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: no imancy. Grace, this is crime Stories. Thank you for

31
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: being with us. You were just hearing WBBHTV NBC two

32
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Nesta Montoya speaking about that incident. But the coronavirus crimes

33
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: are on the uptick on a major, major way. We know.

34
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Televangelist Jim Baker is being sued for selling silver solution

35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,120

43
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Dave Matt, crime online investigative reporter. As it turns out,

44
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: the Missouri AG has filed a season desist on televangelists

45
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Jim Baker. Why Dave Matt Nancy. Jim Baker was selling

46
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: a solution on his television show called Silver Solution that

47
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: he and a so called doctor claimed was an effective

48
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: cure for coronavirus, totally eliminating it within twelve hours. You know,

49
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: amazing to me. To Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor forensic, we

50
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: have taken a long, hard look at colloidal silver, and

51
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: after I first came out against Jim Baker on this,

52
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: I got a lot of heat online. A lot of

53
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: naysayers mad at me for SAE. Colloidal silver i e.

54
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Silver solution doesn't cure coronavirus. And it's important to note

55
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: that Missouri ag is coming down on Baker, not because

56
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: colloidal silver hasn't been used for years and years and

57
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: years to soothe skin elments and so forth. But it

58
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: doesn't cure coronavirus, does it? Joe Scott. No, if it did,

59
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: it would be, you know, widely distributed everywhere. And hey,

60
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: if it is this miracle drug, Nancy, why would you

61
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: want to be selling it. Why would you want to

62
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: be selling it? Wouldn't you want to have everybody have

63
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: access to it so that everybody could be cured. Listen

64
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: this compound. Over the years, people have claimed that it HIV,

65
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: people have claimed that it cure shingles, herpes, eye disorders,

66
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: all of these different things, and the main component is

67
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: actually silver and it is not an essential element for

68
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the body. It's beyond ridiculous to sell this to somebody,

69
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: particularly people that are so vulnerable. Here's the deal. People

70
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: that are watching, to a large degree televangelist on TV

71
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: are the elderly in our population. They are the ones

72
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: being affected by coronavirus the most and so you know,

73
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: he's got a perfect pool of victims. To Wendy Patrick,

74
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: California prosecutor and author, Wendy, here's my question, and light

75
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: of the coronavirus pandemic, can any criminal action be taken

76
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: against Baker? Well, you know the problem with taking any

77
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: criminal action in scenarios like this is you're going to

78
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: have to find not only a statute that fits, you're

79
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: going to have to find the right jurisdiction, but you're

80
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to find courts that are You know, this

81
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: is one of the times and probably unprecedented that we're

82
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: asking these questions to try to figure out is it

83
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: worth our time to try to mount criminal charges against

84
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: somebody who is definitely probably not going to be in custody.

85
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: But can we make this kind of a case, particularly

86
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: if there is an intent requirement. You see a lot

87
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: of these cases being filed that, as you Nancy know,

88
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: are specific intent crime. So it's not enough to simply

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: do or say something, but you also have to prove

90
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the mindset of the person that did it. But if

91
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: we had a criminal case against Jim Baker, what would

92
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: it be I would have to go and look at

93
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: the statutes very carefully to try to figure out what

94
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: kind of misrepresentation type of crime would lie or something

95
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: like this. That's normally the first place we would look

96
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: if somebody is knowingly offering something knowing the product is false,

97
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: or with reckless disregard for the truth of what they're saying.

98
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about Jim Baker, the Charlotte, North Carolina tell

99
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: evangelist who's already done five years in prison for fraud

100
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: and the nineties. That's a big hint of what the

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: criminal charge would be, fraud f R A U D.

102
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Now we know that he's pushing colloidal silver, the quote

103
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: silver solution all right, to cure corona virus. He's already

104
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: gotten a cease and desist order. It's a very pricey

105
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and it's aimed at the elderly, and he has been

106
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: pitching it on TV. The National Institutes of Health and

107
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: say colloidal silver has no known function or benefits. The

108
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: New York Attorney General sent Baker the order. The Missouri

109
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: ag is taking action against him. Now, long story short,

110
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: there are civil lawsuits and there are criminal cases, a

111
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: criminal case for fraud knowing fraud. It's a white collar

112
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: crum could be brought and there could be probably a

113
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: slap on the wrist for that. Like about five years now,

114
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: there's another guy you may know his name, a conspiracy

115
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: theorist Alex Jones has somehow landed in the middle of

116
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the Corona virus debacle. I want you to take a

117
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: listen to this. Officials are warning the public not to

118
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: fall for fake cures peddled by some companies and individuals,

119
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: possibly trying to scam consumers with their claims. Earlier this week,

120
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: the FTC and FDA issued warnings to seven companies accused

121
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: of selling unapproved or misbranded products claiming they can treat

122
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: or cure COVID nineteen with T's essential oils and colloidal silver.

123
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: Televangelist Jim Baker received one such warning for offering an

124
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: eighty dollars silver solution he advertised as a treatment for coronavirus,

125
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: even though there is not yet a known vaccine and

126
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory to Alex Jones received a cease and desist

127
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: letter for hawking unproven products from New York Attorney General

128
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Letitia James, one of several she and other states attorneys

129
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: general have issued in recent days to people they say

130
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: are selling unproven product. You were just hearing our friends

131
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: over at ABC. That was news correspondent Will Reave speaking.

132
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: What we're learning right now is that conspiracy theorists, the

133
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: one that says Sandy Hook never happened. I think, isn't

134
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: that him? Alex Jones has been told to stop selling

135
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: anti coronavirus tooth paste. Mister Jones using his radio show

136
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: and website to promote conspiracy theories, now falsely claiming his

137
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: products can fight the virus. The New York State Attorney

138
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: jumped in issue to cease and desist order on Alex Jones.

139
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: So what do we know about his claims? Straight out

140
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: to Dave Mattcrime online dot Com investigative reporter, what does

144
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: go ahead. I just had to write that down. His

145
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: super blue super Blue brand of toothpaste quote kills the

146

Speaker 1: whole stars a Corona family at point blank range super Blue.

147
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, really, I guess you know. Hold on, Dave Makeham,

148
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: circling right back to you. But I need to shrink,

149
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: and I happen to have renowned psychologist Karen Stark. Karen Stark.

150
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,000

151
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: anything to protect themselves or their families, and this is

152
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: a perfect time for fraud stars to jump in. Alex Jones.

153
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: According to the Attorney General, their words not Mine made

154
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,120

155

Speaker 1: a stop gate as Dave Matt reports against coronavirus super

156
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: Blue brand of toothpaste. There are currently no products, vaccines,

157
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: or drugs are proved to treat coronavirus. Karen, what's going

158
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: through everybody's minds. People are desperate and vulnerable, Nancy, and

159
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: you when you think about, you know, what's popular are

160
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: out there. They're desperate for a cure, and they don't research.

161
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: A lot of times there's a product that everybody's buying,

162
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: and they're only buying it because they see other people

163
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: are buying it, and they get influenced. Well, if other

164
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: people are buying it, it must be good. So if

165
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: it's this guy, we've heard about him and he's saying

166
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: it's a cure well, and people are buying it. I'd

167
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: better do it because I'm terrified. And that's exactly what's happening.

168
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: They're taking advantage of everyone's fear and vulnerability and offering

169
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: these products that will not make a bit of a difference,

170
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: just to get money. I would use the phrase monetizing fear,

171
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: making money off people's fear. Climb stories with Nancy Grace. Guys,

172
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: did I ever get the chance to say thank you

173
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: for joining us here on Serious eleven. At a time

174
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: when we are all trying to pull together, asking for

175
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: Heaven for guidance, trying to do the right thing, we

176
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: have fraudsters taking advantage of those most vulnerable. In the

177
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: last hours we learn conspiracy theorists and radio star Alex

178
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Jones has been told to stop selling his fake anti

179
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: coronavirus toothpaste. It's called super Blue. We know that sham

180
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: products from dietary supplements, foods, medical devices, vaccines, door to

181
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: door coronavirus testing. They're everywhere right now. They're on Amazon,

182
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: they're own eBay, they're knocking on your door, knock, can

183
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I test it for coronavirus? It has presented people like

184
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: mister Jones with an opportunity to monetize fear. According to

185
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: Letitia James, the state ag who issued an order against

186
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Jones on Thursday, while people are literally dying, while they're

187
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: crowding the halls of hospitals, while their loved ones are

188
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: trying to breathe, other people are making money off that fear.

189
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,119
Speaker 1: I worked for a while at the Federal Trade Commission

190
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: in their anti trust and consumer protection divisions. And for

191
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: a product to go on the market, a drug product,

192
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: it has to be undergo multiple double blind tests, in

193
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: other words, double blind. One group gets the product, one

194
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: group gets pulsebos. You have to go through multiple tests

195
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: like that to prove they really work. This is so

196
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: disappointing that people are taking advantage of those suffering. Dave Maack,

197
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: what mar can you tell me about super Blue? Alex

198
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: Jones has claimed that his super bluetooth face, he actually

199
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: said this on his show, it kills the whole Sars

200
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Corona family at point blank range. There's no vague area here.

201
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: This is a very direct claim, and as you mentioned,

202
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: he has a very devoted loyal audience to believe a

203
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: lot of the garbage he spews and that's why there's

204
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: a crackdown on him. Because this guy's money doesn't come

205
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: from advertisers on his show. It comes from him selling

206
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: these types of products. He has a whole line of

207
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: garbage products that are of question. Noble youth, Well, here's

208
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: a question. His claims obviously are false. But do you

209
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: believe out to Cloyd's Tiger he will obey the cease

210
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: and desist order? I would think not. I mean, these

211
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: guys are snake oil salesman and they'll get every dime

212
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: they can before they're physically forced by the law to

213
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: do something. It's just like he said, it's outrageous monetary

214
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: monetizing fear, you know, to Dave, Matt, doesn't he still

215
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: say Sandy Hook didn't happen the mass shooting Nancy. My

216
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: understanding is that he claims that he's that, Yes, he

217
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: said something happened to Sandy Hook. That is not what

218
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: was reported in the media when all the children were killed.

219
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Then we know of Matt Colvin stockpiling eighteen thousand bottles

220
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: of hand sanitizer, trying to pick up the price up

221
00:15:52,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: to seventy dollars a bottle. That's clearly price gouging to Dave, Matt,

222
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: what can you tell me about Matt Colvin? These Tennessee brothers,

223
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Matt Colvin and his brothers saw the pandemic coming, and

224
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: so what they did in Tennessee is they went around

225
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: and started buying up hand sanitizers throughout all their local stores,

226
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: and then spread out from there and ended up even

227
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: going into Kentucky, and they amassed at least twenty thousand

228
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: things of hand sanitizers, and they were selling them online

229
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: and a tube, a container that would go for a

230
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: dollar retail was selling for seventy five eighty bucks online

231
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: before they finally, you know, they got caught onto and

232
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Amazon shut them down and they were stuck with seventeen

233
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: thousand bottles of hand sanitizer. But still they're still being

234
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: looked into. And you know, you guys are the lawyers,

235
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: not me. They're still looking at possible charges for taking

236
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: advantage of a time as they were trying to do.

237
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: A guy was seventeen nearly eighteen thousand bottles of hand sanitizers,

238
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: selling them for seventy five dollars a pop. To attorney

239
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick joining Us, author of Red Flags, Wendy, what

240
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: about the possibility I know that he is now under

241
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: investigation for price gouging. What could become of that? Well,

242
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: if he's charged, it's really going to send a message.

243
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean price gouging. You have to look at well, gosh,

244
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: how far did you raise a price? Here they raise

245
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: there's an astronomical amount. But you look at the amount

246
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: of overage people are charging and saying, hey, can you

247
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: justify that some other way than clearly being guilty of

248
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: price gouging. But whether it's price gouging, fraud, or whatever

249
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: it is that people are engaging in, once these cases

250
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: start being charged, I don't care what jurisdiction it is,

251
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: people are going to pay a lot more attention and

252
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: certainly be a lot more careful about what they try

253
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: to get away with online while speaking a price gouging,

254
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: listen to this. Deputies arrested eight people for it, and

255
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: they say those who are profiting from people's fear will

256
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: be prosecuted. To impact toilet paper for believe it was

257

Speaker 1: items online, met them in a public place acting as buyers,

263
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,760

312
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Don't fall for it. But that's really just the tip

313
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: of the iceberg. Take a listen to our friends at

314
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: w d JT Milwaukee, CBS Shirley Discorbeth. Let's alter here

00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: at sojourn Or Family Peace Center is open for victims

316
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: of domestic violence. Staff here say they're actually seeing an

317
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: increase and calls for help. Majority of the programs here

318
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: at Sojourn or Family Peace Center are now remote or

319
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: over email. However, two of the most critical programs remain open,

320
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: the shelter and the twenty four hour hotline. The Courthouse

321
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: Advocacy program is also open. There's still processing restraining orders.

322
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: Advocates say even during this crisis, domestic violence continues to

323
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: be an issue. Violence never stops, and that in times

324
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: of stress, domestic violence absolutely goes up in people's lives.

325
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: We all want to maintain some sort of control in

326
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: our lives, and times of crisis, all of us are

327
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: feeling stressed. That could be, you know, we want to

328
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store stock up when groceries. Some

329
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: people exercise control in different ways. For victims of domestic violence,

330
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: going to work can be their only respites, but for

331
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: many people that's not an option. Right now, Domestic violence

332
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: is on a stark and drastic rise. During Corona virus scares,

333
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: people are staying into Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor author Red Flags,

334
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: explain Plaine, why is domestic violence now a major concern?

335
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: It's a major concern, Nancy, because it's a scenario where

336
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: the danger is inside your home. Domestic violence victims often

337
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: find a respite by going to work, staying at work late,

338
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: lingering at the grocery store, things they can't do right now.

339
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, when we request the public to shelter in place,

340
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: we assume a safe place to hunker down and whether

341
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: the storm. But domestic violence victims are not safe at home,

342
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and they may have abusers that are threatening. What's going

343
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: to happen if they dare to go out, They'll be

344
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: locked out, They'll get sick. They don't want to go

345
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: to a shelter because they're worried about overcrowding and not

346
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to social distance. That's the same reason. Sometimes

347
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: even if they're injured, they don't want to go to

348
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: an emergency room. They would probably rather, in the words

349
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: of some of them, suffer a physical injury than get

350
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. It's a horrible scenario, but it is exactly

351
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: made easier by some of these domestic violence hotlines offering

352
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: all sorts of ways to contact them, whether it's on

353
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: the phone, whether it's on email, or however, they can

354
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: get at least some access to knowing what help is

355
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: available during this typical time. Take a listen to reporter

356
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: terse Appel at WLBT NBC three. Every year, domestic violence

357
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: peaks at certain times, and there are some very standard factors.

358
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: A lot of family members in close proximity, stress over finances,

359
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: stir crazy children. Police usually see the highest numbers of

360
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: domestic violence calls during the holidays, but summer, when children

361
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: are out of school, is also a time to watch.

362
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: Now families are staying home instead of going to school, work,

363
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: or church because of the dangers of coronavirus. Sandy Middleton,

364
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: director of the Mississippi Center for Prevention of Violence, says

365
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: some homes could be at risk. Day cares are closed,

366
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean schools are closed. A lot of people aren't

367
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: going to work. So even if we don't get to

368
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: a pure quarantine situation, we're still talking about a lot

369
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: of people being piled in together in homes ranking any

370
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: Chief investigator Brett McAlpin says Nancy children can also contribute

371
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: to stress in the home. They want to go outside,

372
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: they want to see their friends and things like that.

373
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna have this this quarantine situation, we're

374
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: not gonna that's not going to be possible. We are

375
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: now learning that a mother in Utah attacks her husband

376
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: and children. To Dave Matt Crime online dot Com investigative reporter,

377
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: what happened? Jessica Cambery from in Provo, Utah and Ancy

378
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: apparently just lost it when she realized that her boys

379
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: were going to be at home and that they weren't

380
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: going to be allowed to go to school. They weren't

381
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go out. At thirty six years old,

382
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: she actually just exploded on the family. She started attacking

383
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: her husband. When one of the boys tried to get

384
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: her off the husband, she kicks the twelve year old

385
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: boy and twists the arm of another one. It was

386
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: an all out frey with this thirty six year old

387
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: mom who just lost it when she realized the kids

388
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: were going to be underfoot and in the house and

389
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: she couldn't get away from anybody. Thirty six year old

390
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: Jessica Cambray, profile Utah just arrested overclaim she attacked the fiance,

391
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: tried to choke him, kicked one of the boys, twisted

392
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: another one's arms. Why upset her children would not be

393
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: at school? Attacking them because of the Corona virus. School

394
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: closures straight out to Karen Start New York psychologists way in. Well,

395
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: when you think about it, Nancy, and you have people

396
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: that are unstable, and as we keep saying, frightened, vulnerable,

397
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: here's somebody who clearly can't do it with her children

398
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: being home, and no one can predict how long this

399
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: is even go to last. And so we take this

400
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: unstable person, obviously your everyday mother, and she hears about

401
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: this and completely cannot contain herself, loses herself and attacks everybody.

402
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: Thirty six year old Jessica Cambray. You know I want

403
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: to go out to you, Cloyd Steiger. This happened a

404
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: little after midnight. As I always told juries, nothing good

405
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: happens after midnight, A major blowout over coronavirus after midnight,

406
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: choking her husband police. Can you imagine having to say

407
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: your mom twisted your arm and kick to you and

408
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: try to choke your dad when you're trying to help

409
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: your dad. Having to tell the cops that, yeah, you know,

410
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: in another life, years and years ago, I was a

411
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: patrol officer and went to those type of things all

412
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: the time. Two of my sons right now are Seattle

413
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: police officers and have to go to work every day

414
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: and that's the type of stuff they see and they

415
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: can't get away from it. Ter exposed. So it's just

416
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: like I said, like Karen said, people are cooped up,

417
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: and you know, we have a propensity for that to

418
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: begin with. Such just aggravates the whole thing. Right now,

419
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: we know she is under arrest in homes where domestic

420
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: violence or family violence is a reality. What should a

421
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: victim do right now? To Wendy Patrick, victims should assess

422
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: their options. They have family, they have friends, they may

423
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: have other places to live. It shouldn't be a choice, Nancy,

424
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: between being physically injured or physically ill. They should take

425
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: advantage of so many online resources. I mean, there are

426
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: so many people that are opening their homes, opening their businesses,

427
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: transforming hotels into shelters. It's changing by the day. So

428
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: there are options. And the very first thing I want

429
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: to say when I'm looking at all these victims is

430
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: you are not alone. There are many people that are

431
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: in this circumstance, and there are an increasing amount of

432
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: people that are stepping up willing to help you find options.

433
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Rather than being under this horrific type of house arrest

434
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: where they're worried about the danger within. Another issue is

435
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: child abuse to you, you know, Joe Scott Morgan, you

436
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: have been in the investigative business for so long. I

437
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: anticipate a spike and child abuse and we may never

438
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: really know about it because children, the most vulnerable, can't

439
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: speak out. What do you think? Yeah, and I think

440
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: that one of the stressors that's involved with this is

441
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: that you have adults that are caretakers over children that

442
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: are unstable to begin with. Many times they're frustrated, they

443
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: can't get out of the house, and so they're going

444
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: to take advantage of and they're going to abuse the

445
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: weakest person in the house. This can extend to the

446
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: wife as well physically, but the target here are the children.

447
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: They're frustrated with them, and to live in an abusive

448
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: household like this, it means to live in fear. And

449
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: these children, if they make a wrong sound, if they

450
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: don't move quick enough for this individual, great harm can come.

451
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: To crime stories with Nancy Grace. From an apartment parking lot,

452
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: a Cape Coral officer heard panicked cries for help. As

453
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: he approached the building, the screams grew louder. The officer

454
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: says he spotted a man later ideed as Joseph Newell,

455
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: straddling his victim with what appeared to be his hands

456
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: around her neck. According to Newell's arrest report, he was

457
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: intoxicated and told them the woman had COVID nineteen, but

458
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: in reality she was six months pregnant. We are getting

459
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: ready for more calls. Jennifer Benton with the Abuse Counseling

460
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: and Treatment Center says they're seeing us spike in domestic

461
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: violence cases that could be linked to coronavirus. Definitely, people

462
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: are staying at home, they're more agitated. The center is

463
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: open to all looking for help, a hotline that operates

464
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day that will continue. We have

465
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: three shelters and they're open and they're staff twenty four

466
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: hours a day. We are here for people, especially now

467
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: with growing concerns over COVID nineteen. An attack goes down

468
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: based on belief, the false belief that a woman has

469
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: coronavirus beaten brutally. You were just hearing our friend at

470
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: WBBHTV NBC two, Nestor Montoya speaking. We already know that

471
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: domestic violence and child abuse will rise during quarantines. Also,

472
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: at risk people will be neglected we will see deaths

473
00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: while most Americans are inside their homes watching as worrying

474
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: desperate emails, almost screaming fear for unseen victims. During the

475
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: national shutdown, one Florida social worker writing of her fear

476
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: because of her disabled clients shut in their homes, unable

477
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: to even go to the bathroom. Child Protective Services fears

478
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: that families will run out of food, formula, and diapers

479
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: die of lack of treatment. You've got parents desperate to work,

480
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: but all that stress will it lead to child abuse?

481
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: In Manhattan, one worker says they are drowning trying to

482
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: get food and supplies to homeless people right now. While

483
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: most eyes are focused on hospitals and the ill, what

484
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: about the unseen victims will come back? I'm Nancy Grace.

485
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: This is crime stories. There was an outright war at

486
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn Costco, another at a Sam's club in Georgia,

487
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: but a hate crime. Take a listen to this. An

488
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: Asian woman was punched in the face in Midtown and

489
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: what's being investigated as a possible coronavirus related bias attack. Yes,

490
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: the NYPD responded to this reported assault at a building

491
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: on West thirty fourth Street, A twenty three year old

492
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: woman told officer she was punched in the face by

493
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: a woman who also made anti Asian slurs before leaving

494
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: the scene. She was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

495
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Police say the two women knew each other and attend

496
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the same school. The zero tolerance for violence with our students.

497
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: We investigated the situation. The student was suspended immediately following

498
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: the situation. Now today on Twitter, First Lady Charlaine McCrae

499
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: told Asian American New Yorkers that your city dands with you.

500
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Governor Cuelmo has directed the New York State Police Hate

501
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: Crimes Task Force to assist in that investigation. You're hearing

502
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: our friends there at ABC seven an Asian American hate

503
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: attack at a Brooklyn Costco today, Matt, what happened at

504
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Costco, Nancy. We actually had people that they

505
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: were doing a buying horde, you know, when people are

506
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: grabbing up all the toilet papers they can and piling

507
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: it in their buggies and just grabbing all these items

508
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: that we see as essential, and it just kind of

509
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: exploded on itself. And this manager who was there or

510
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: an employee, he was just trying to get everybody calm.

511
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: You know the video that we've seen his cell phone

512
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: video and you can hear this guy imploring them saying, please,

513
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: we're all in this together as human beings. We've got

514
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: to come together. He was just trying to calm the situation, and,

515
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: by the way, effectively did calm the situation down. So

516
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: this is what happened. A brawl breaks out at a

517
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: costco a man all the coronavirus tension, there have been

518
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: multiple altercations, but the attack in a midtown superstore apparently

519
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: was a hate attack on an Asian woman. Is that

520
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: what happened, Dave mac twenty three year old Asian woman

521
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 1: did wasn't wearing a mask, and another woman who goes

522
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: to school with her at the Empire Beauty School actually

523
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: saw her outside of the school and said put your

524
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: mask on, and it escalated to an actual violent physical

525
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: attack where the one student who's unnamed right now was

526
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: hurling racial episodes and other things at the twenty three

527
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: year old Asian woman for not wearing her mask. It

528
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: is being investigated as it now. That happened in midtown?

529
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: What was the store? Do we know it was on

530
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: the street? From my understanding, he was in the street

531
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: near where they went to school, and so basically the

532
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Costco incident was what. That's where we had a

533
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: number of people that were gathered together and people were

534
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: grabbing too much toilet paper or paper towels, and just

535
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: a group of people all kind of met up at

536
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: the cash register and there there were no toilet paper

537
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: rolls left, and people were frustrated that others had their

538
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: buggies piled up where they couldn't find any for their families.

539
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: And that's where the argument started, and one thing led

540
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: to another with people pushing and shoving and banging carts,

541
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: and that's where the employee or manager was like, look,

542
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: we're all human beings. You've gotten to calm down. This

543
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. We got to work together on well. From

544
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan to the Costco in Brooklyn to a Sam's

545
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: Club in Hiram, Georgia, it doesn't seem to be ending.

546
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: But let's go across the country where apparently spring Breakers

547
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: aren't concerned about coronavirus. Take a listen to our friends

548
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: at WPLG Local ten Terrell Corny, and by now you've

549
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: heard all the stories about people's skeptical to travel, and

550
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: people avoiding large crowds because they're worried that this virus

551
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: could be easily transmitted. Well, none of that is happening

552
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: here on the beach. The fun is in full swing

553
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: on Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's been awesome, crazy. It's though

554
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: we're spring breakers from near and far are packing away.

555
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: They're worries. Any thought that crossed your mind at all

556
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: about canceling ah? Oh really honestly. In fact, sky ten

557
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: captured this view of the coastline where droves of people

558
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: can be seen on the sand, visitors soaking up the

559
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: sun from Fort Lauderdale down to South Beach, where crowds

560
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: are just as heavy. This despite the wave of coronavirus

561
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: scares sweeping the nation. Yes, we just don't care. I mean,

562
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: we talk about it all the time, but we can't

563
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: stop it. No real worries. We're young, we don't really

564
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: need to worry. Really, they don't need to be worried

565
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: about coronavirus. To Joseph Scott Morgan, professor forensic Jackson State

566
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: University death investigator, Joe Scott, that's just bass Ackwards. It's foolish,

567
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: absolutely foolish, you know it was let out early on

568
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: when we began to suffer from the coronavirus, that the

569
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: elderly were passing away. Well, that only makes sense because

570
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: they're the most vulnerable. And unfortunately people took that to

571
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: mean that if you're young, you're not gonna get it.

572
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: And apparently it applies here because this is stupid, and

573
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll say it's stupid behavior on their part. Virus can

574
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: attack anybody at any time. That's why social distancing is

575
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: so important, and they're doing anything but distancing themselves. Well,

576
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: at first we thought the young were more less likely

577
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: to be attacked by coronavirus. I'm not sure that that's true.

578
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to our forensic

579
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: w FLA Fox eight listen. Breaking news just into our

580
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: newsroom this morning. The University of Tampa has announced that

581
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: five students who were traveling together over spring break i've

582
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: now tested positive for coronavirus. UT switched to online classes

583
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Residence halls are still open for students

584
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: that have no other housing options. All others have been

585
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: sent home again. This breaking news. Five students now at

586
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: UT tested positive for coronavirus and joining me at the

587
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: same from Florida is psychologist Karen Stark. Karen, what are

588
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: you saying, Nancy? It would just blow your mind. It's

589
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: so upsetting. I see right whereon staying sons of young

590
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: people gathering together, barbecuing, laughing, and along the intracoastal you

591
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: see boats with crowds of kids on there, playing music, singing.

592
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: It's very frightening because they feel invincible, I guess, and

593
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: they are not listening to what's being told. You know,

594
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me, Karen Stark. So I'm looking at

595
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: video of young people out twerking and partying on the beach.

596
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: Is that happening, Yes, except now they've decided to close

597
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: the beaches. So what's happening that I can see is

598
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: they're going out on the intracoastal on boats, or they're

599
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: gathering in places where there are pools. They have them

600
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: closed the pools yet and getting together and making lots

601
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: of noise, just partying, partying as though we're all from school.

602
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: This is the time, we're invincible. We could just have

603
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: a good time. And they don't seem to understand there

604
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: are people here that don't believe that it's real, that

605
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: think it's a hoax, and it's very hard if you're

606
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: somebody like me who's social distancing to say we're social distancing,

607
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: please stay away from us. So we have to be

608
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: very careful. Joe Scott, please address the danger of coronavirus

609
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: and why we are social distancing. Yeah, Nancy, you know,

610
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: the thing about this is that you know it can't

611
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: be seen, you don't know where it might be existing.

612
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: This is a very robust virus. We talk about things

613
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: in science like the surface life of a virus. Some

614
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: things are fragile. Coronavirus is not. It's what we refer

615
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: to as robust. That means that even if someone sneezes

616
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: on a surface, that virus is not necessarily going to

617
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: die immediately. There are some studies that have taken it

618
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: out several days as a survivabal and so it'll latch

619
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: onto another host, viable hosts, another person that touches that surface.

620
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: If you're within six feet of an individual and they

621
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: call for they sneeze, they've got some kind of upper

622
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: respionratory problem, then that's going to transfer onto that person.

623
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: Then they touch their face. It is absolutely essential that

624
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: people distance themselves from one another. Wait till the storm

625
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: passes over, and I can't assure you it will. This

626
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: is not the bubonic plague. Viruses have a lot and

627
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: you cannot stop it. We can't stop influenza. You know

628
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: that we go through the flu season. That's why they

629
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: call it that We're going to go through the corona season.

630
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: It will eventually phase out, but people have to stay

631
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: away from one another because it's highly contagious. We wait

632
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: as justice unfolds, and our prayers now for a cure

633
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: for coronavirus. Nancy Grace Crime Story signing off, Goodbye friend,
