I think seventy nine of them were 94 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: some Allians. Out of eighty five or eighty six people 95 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: that have been indicted, fifty nine have already been sent 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: to jail and there's more convictions on the way, or 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: were plea bargains on the way, And this story had 98 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: been buried for several years. These convictions or these guilty 99 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: pleas happened just in the last few months, and The 100 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: New York Times became the first major media outlet to 101 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: cover it this week, and it really exploded because nobody 102 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: could believe a billion dollars in a state like Minnesota, 103 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: which that's more money than they spend on their prison system, 104 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: because Minnesota is a big land state, but it's not 105 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: all that densely populated, and that's a lot of money 106 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: from Minnesota, and it went to thieves, thieves who came 107 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: through the immigration system or came here illegally. There's about 108 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: eighty thousand Somalis living in the Minneapolis area and they 109 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: were brought here over a number of years. A lot 110 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 2: of them got the citizenship. You know, Somalia is a 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: country that has had no government, no functioning government for 112 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: quite some time. Mogadisho. You may remember Black Hawk Down 113 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: the movie years ago. It's a disaster of a country. 114 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: It's got a terrorist operation that runs some of the 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: country called al Shabab, and this some of this money 116 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: went to al Shabab some of the tax money, and 117 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: I guess federal tax money is involved here. 118 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: A lot our money went to al. 119 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: Shabab being funneled through and laundered through Tim Waltz's government 120 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. So Trump's out of his mind over this, 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: now that all the details are finally coming out. And 122 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: listen to him go off on some millions in this country. 123 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 7: Got three idios ripped off that state for billions of dollars, 124 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 7: billions every year, billions of dollars, and. 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: They contributed nothing.

So when we 212 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: last left, we played here PHIPA. Trump, who wants all 213 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: the Somalians out of the country. Now, that's not possible, 214 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 2: at least not under federal law.

And 219 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: there is one thing Trump said that really hit home 220 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: with me. I really get irritated when groups come to 221 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: this country and we're told that the rationale for admitting 222 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: them and embracing them is that they're coming from terrible circumstances, right, 223 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: war and oppression, economic collapse. There's people are persecuted for 224 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: the religious beliefs, for the political beliefs, and they don't 225 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: have they don't have jobs. They just want to come 226 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: here and make money. That USA is a better life, 227 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: and that they come here for good reasons and they're 228 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: leaving terrible terrible places. 229 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: It's just violence and fear. 230 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: Well accept it seems like you hit a critical mass 231 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: and then everybody's starts yeah, like Trump said, complaining. Then 232 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: suddenly we're a bad country. We're not generous enough, we're 233 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: not welcoming enough. 234 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: That's all. I mean. 235 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: It's like five minutes in suddenly there is an activist 236 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: group that's formed, and all they want is more, more, more, 237 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: And you're bad and you're bad, and you're bad, and 238 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: we're gonna tell you what to say and what to 239 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: think and how much money. It's that I think a 240 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: lot of people feel that and they don't admit it. 241 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: They don't say it out loud. I mean, imagine bringing 242 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: this up at a party, right, But a lot of 243 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: people feel that. And that's what Trump does is he 244 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: says the stuff that a lot of people feel and 245 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: are not allowed to say in public. Can't say it 246 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: in front of your family, can't say it and you know, 247 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: in front of the kids, can't say it at work, 248 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: maybe with your friends in the basement if you're drinking 249 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: a lot. But it's like you're coming here because you 250 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: got to coming from a terrible place and you want 251 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: a better life, and this place is just so wonderful. 252 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, we agree, fine, but geez, and then 253 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 2: what do you do? You start you start electing crazy 254 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: people like yalhaan Omar, by the way, married a brother 255 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: to get in here. Don't be surprised if they fight 256 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: a way to deport her. She actually married a brother. 257 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: Go look it up yourself. She won't admit it. And 258 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: that's what she did and said, well, who needs crazy people? 259 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: And you know part of this. And I come from immigrants, 260 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: I said a thousand times. But in case you didn't hear, 261 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: my dad came from Poland and my mother's parents came 262 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: from Poland. And he was captured by the Nazis when 263 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: he was fourteen and spent four years in a German 264 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 2: Nazi camp. I don't want to play the German Nazi 265 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: camp card, but if I have to. 266 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: But he and I grew. 267 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: Up in a town which was blue collar, lower middle 268 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: class in Jersey, and everybody had either parents or grandparents 269 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: who were immigrants, Polish immigrants, Italian immigrants, German immigrants, Irish immigrants, 270 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: mostly Europe but incompatible languages, and they didn't all like 271 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: each other. 272 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: Blame me. 273 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: There was there was when I was a little kid. 274 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: It was a cousin Polish who married an Italian. Oh 275 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: my god was that. I was six years old. I 276 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: went to the wedding. I still remember all the drama 277 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: leading up to the wedding because a Polish and Italian 278 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: were mixing. So of course what did I do? I 279 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: married in Italian. But by time I married an Italian, 280 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: nobody cared in the family. It was amazing, thirty twenty 281 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: five year difference. 282 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was. 283 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: It was an all out bloody war. So you know, 284 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: nobody wanted to you know, there there was there was 285 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: no racial not racial, but ethnic harmony back then. 286 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: Either. It took a while to assimilate. 287 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: But because assimilation was encouraged, practically demanded, that was the 288 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: national culture. Then you got it now, don't We don't 289 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: have a simulations like a bad word. And you know, 290 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: Trump is actually pointing out something obvious. You come here, assimily. 291 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: Why is there eighty thousand Somalians in Minneapolis, all clustered 292 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: together and they're all voting Democratic and you got about 293 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: eighty of them who built the state out of a 294 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: billion dollars. And Tim Waltz didn't want to confront it 295 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: because he wants to keep the eighty thousand votes because 296 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: he's running for governor again. I mean that that's just that, 297 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: that is garbage. I want to talk about garbage. And 298 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: then you get to the point where Jacob Fry is 299 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: speaking Somalian the Minneapolis mayor. 300 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: You still got that little clip?

Nothing was nothing was happening. 342 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 2: But I was rebellious. I was bored, Actually, I was 343 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 2: bored out of my mind. Yeah, it wasn't going along 344 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: with the program. They were old world people.

We'll 362 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: talk to Royal Oaks about it. ABC News Legal analysts 363 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: coming up. You remember a few days ago there was 364 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: a story at a Hermosa Beach. A fifty seven year 365 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: old man carrying a pizza box walking down an alleyway 366 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: got got nearly killed by a group of crazed young 367 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: men on e bikes. Turns out these guys were ages 368 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: thirteen to fifteen, and it turns out that they're from 369 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: Manhattan Beach. Now, I've always talked about how wonderful Manhattan 370 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 2: Beach is, you know, compared to like Santa Monica or Venice, 371 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 2: that this is a really civilized place, not only beautiful 372 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 2: beaches the ocean there. 373 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: They have that strand where you can walk the bike. 374 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: You've got great restaurants there, a lot of shops and 375 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: the people. 376 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: Because we looked at. 377 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 2: Moving there a couple of times living there, and I 378 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: would have been very comfortable beach. But somehow that environment 379 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: has produced gangs, supposedly white kids, rich white kids. And 380 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 2: they called themselves the Manhattan Beach Goons, and there were 381 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: Dondo Beach Killers, and they whipped themselves up into a frenzy. 382 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 2: And if you haven't seen the video, go look for 383 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: it online. They surrounded him, knocked him to the ground, 384 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: and kicked and punched him until it seemed he was dead. 385 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: In fact, these goons and beach killers, some of them shouted, 386 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: he's dead, he's dead, and then they fled. Heges thirteen 387 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 2: to fifteen, All right, now, I want to hear all 388 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: the stories about how this group is oppressed or discriminated against, 389 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: or raised in poverty. 390 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: How the hell does this happen. 391 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: I was reading a story on The Times and I 392 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: amused myself by looking at the comments, because there's so 393 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: many people who go to The Times and write really, 394 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: really stupid comments. And I'm looking at this and somebody's 395 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: always an apologist in the group. It's like, well, you know, 396 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: you can't blame the parents. I mean, they can't possibly 397 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: know what their kids are doing all the time. You know, 398 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: when you're fifteen years old, I mean, didn't you ever 399 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: ride your bike and you're fifteen and your parents didn't 400 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: know you? Wait? Wait, wait a second, boy, talk about 401 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: missing the point. The point is, how did you raise 402 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: a kid who became so violent somebody with who's basically 403 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: a psycho path That's what the issue is. The issue 404 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: is not that the kid was left alone at the 405 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: age of fifteen riding a bike with his friends. It's 406 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 2: that he was a psychopath who jump off the bike 407 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: and took part in a violent bob to beat a 408 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: guy almost to death who've done nothing. 409 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: He was carrying a pizza home. 410 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what kind of neglect and abuse 411 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: goes on in people's families. But I'm going through the 412 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: comments because the comments gave me more information in the 413 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: actual news story. This story is written by Clara Harder, 414 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: and it's like, I don't know who they are fred 415 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: to offend in Manhattan Beach. I mean, usually they when 416 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: there's a story about these kind of disruptions and minority neighborhoods, 417 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 2: the LA Times goes all PC right, they get politically correct, 418 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: they go all woke, and they tried to soften the 419 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: story so that people don't stereotype or snick stigmatize the minorities. 420 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: But here they softened the story, they obliterated the story. 421 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: I'm ridding the comments. The comments are telling me that 422 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: these gangs have been around for quite a while, that 423 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: other have gone on. Everybody's terrorized, and everybody knows who 424 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: these kids are and who the parents are. Well, what 425 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: of the I see. I don't know how you raise 426 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: somebody to be a violent psycho path. My guys were 427 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: far from perfect, and most of my friends had kids 428 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: who were far from perfect, But there were none of 429 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 2: the kids I have known, even growing up and then 430 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: living out here in West LA. Have I ever known 431 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: violent cycle paths capable of doing this? I am aware 432 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: that you have a lot of violent cycle paths in 433 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 2: poor neighborhoods where the kids suffer a lot of abuse 434 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: from dysfunctional families, no fathers, drug addicted moms. That whole 435 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: bit right, got that part doesn't excuse what they do. 436 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: They should still go rot in prison when they harm 437 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: or kill people. But what's the excuse here? How do 438 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: you do that? If you have one of the best 439 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 2: school systems, if you have a lot of money, if 440 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: you have great weather, how do you raise somebody that 441 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: much of a psychopath? Or is it that they all 442 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: happened to be the six kids with newtant jeans who 443 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: were born psychotic and then they all found each other. 444 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 2: I suppose that's possible, because crazy people find crazy people, 445 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: and idiots find idiots. But that's the part I want 446 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: to know, and they do. You know these kids ought 447 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: to be named. If you saw what they did to 448 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 2: that poor guy carrying the pizza box. We should know 449 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: their names. We should know the parents' names and their addresses, 450 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 2: so at least we could stay out of that neighborhood, 451 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 2: so we don't become the next victim. I mean the 452 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: Manhattan Beach goons and the Redondo Beach killers. 453 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: Oh ha ha ha, that's just got. 454 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: Thirteen, except they acted out How close was he to 455 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: being killed? One more kick to the head. Maybe he 456 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: apparently stopped moving. They thought he was all dead. Now 457 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: there's two that have been charged out of the five 458 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 2: people say you could there were like seven or eight 459 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 2: kids that showed up. Some of them may have come 460 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: later after hearing the ruckus, but two of them did 461 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: most of the damage to the guy. And you know what, 462 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 2: they're going to be treated just like all the other 463 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: teenage criminals in Los Angeles and in California. They probably 464 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: won't get much of a sentence if they get convicted. 465 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: The charges will be pledged down to misdemeanors and they 466 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 2: might have to spend a weekend under house arrest or 467 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: do community service when they should be in prison for 468 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: attempted murder. Yeah, their lives ought to be ruined, and 469 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 2: their parents' lives ought to be ruined. How you raise 470 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: a psychopath that nearly kills a guy carrying a pizza box. 471 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: That's another one of these stories that you know comes 472 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: and goes in a day or two and then oh, well, wow, 473 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: in Manhattan Beach, in Hermosa Beach. These are Manhattan Beach 474 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: kids who went to Hermosa Beach just to kill a guy. 475 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: I don't know.
