1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: This is a miracle. There is no question that there 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: you are a donkey to the latest on that police 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: killing of a black man not a new development. And 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: the deathly spaw shooting Rampagny was a really bad day 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: for him and this is what he did. And so 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White supremacist 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: violence is it always has been the number one threat 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: to otracide. But I'm also very proud that my wife 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: was white. The breakfast club bitches, please tell me why 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: was I your donkey of the day. Held on? Let 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: me sip this damn medicine. Let me tell you something, 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: boy in medicine balls from Starbucks be slapping you. Hear me? 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: Donkey today for Friday. March third goes to State Representative 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: Paul Scherrell. Now, Paul was in a House Criminal Justice 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Committee meeting Tuesday discussing an amendment to a bill that 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: would allow death row inmates to be executed with a 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: firing squad. Yes, a method that is currently not allowed 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Now, needless to say, Paul Sharell, is it 20 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: all right? He wants to death by firing squad even 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: though it's clearly a method of execution that's cruel and unusual, 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: all right, even in my home state of South Carolina. 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: Original County Court ruled back in December that both electrocution 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: and the firing squad by lead to South Carolina constitution 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: because the state constitution bars methods of execution that a 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: cruel unusual are corporal, and the court found both methods 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: of cruel unusual in corporal. But this is what Paul 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: wants in Tennessee. Okay, this isn't all he wants. See, 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: Paul is old school, all right. He was born in 30 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: nineteen hundred and fifty nine, five years before the Civil 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: Rights Act of nineteen sixty four was implemented. The reason 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm bringing that up is because what do you think 33 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: he was hearing as a young child in Tennessee from 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: the older people around him during that time? Would you 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: like to guess what do you think his father, his grandfather, 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: What do you think they was instilling in young Paul's head? 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: Do you think they was telling him about the good 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: old days when Lynchon was a public spectacle celebration of 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: watch supremacy. Is shore sounds like it? Okay, because Paul 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: not only wants to see death by firing squad implemented, Ye, 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: add him something else to the menu. Let's go to 42 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: News Channel five Nashville for the report. Please all right, 43 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: it's February twenty eight. Welcome to the Criminal Justice Fault Committee. 44 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: It was a typical meeting on Capitol Hill that quickly 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: turned to a very atypical topic surrounding death row inmates 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: and how they're executed, the opportunity to add a firing 47 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: squad as a method of execution, The suggestion of a 48 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: firing squad in the wake of several failures from the 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: state Department of Correction to properly follow protocol when executing 50 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: prisoners using lethal injection, leading to questions not usually heard 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. Will a person be shot in the 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: head or the heart? Or where will a person be shot? 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: But then came the comment prompting an apology tonight. It 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: came from Republican Representative Paul Sheryl from SPARTA. Thank you 55 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: representing powers for bringing this. I think it's a very 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: good ideal. Could I put amendment on lad it would 57 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: include hanging by a tree. Also, Jesus, could I put 58 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: it in amendment on that it would include hanging by 59 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: a tree. Also damn seven trees bearing scrange fruit, blood 60 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: on the leaves and blooded the root. Black bodies swinging 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: in the seven breeze, scrange fruit, hanging from the polar trees, 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: hanging that good old American pastime. As I said before, 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: lynching was a celebration. Okay. In from eighteen eighty two 64 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: to nineteen sixty eight, four thousand, seven hundred and forty 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: three lynchings occurred in the US, according to records maintained 66 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: by NAACP, and black people were the primary victims of lynching, okay, 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: seventy two percent. Seventy two percent, I repeat, seventy two 68 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: percent of the people in lynch were black. But they 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: weren't the only victims of lynching, Okay. Some white people 70 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: were lynched for helping black people are for being anti lynching. 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: And for the record, there were two hundred and thirty 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: six lynch in Tennessee between eighteen seventy seven and nineteen 73 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: fifty according to the Equal Justice Initiative. Those are not 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: so fun facts, well, fun probably for people in Paul 75 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Sharell's family. I'm sure he was told about the good 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: old days the good times they had at Lynch's, and 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: he would love to bring black tradition. He would love 78 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: to bring back tradition. Okay, well, tradition for you is 79 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: trauma for us. Paul. Now, Paul did apologize. Let's go 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: back to News Channel five Nashville for the report. Please tonight. 81 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Cheryl apologized in a statement released from the House Republican Caucus, saying, 82 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: I regret that I used very poor judgment in voicing 83 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: my support of a colleague's bill, and my exaggerated comments 84 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: were intended to convey my belief that for the cruelest 85 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: and most heinous crimes, a just society requires the death 86 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: penalty in kind. He goes on to say, my intention 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: was to express my support of families who often wait 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: decades for justice. I sincerely apologize to anyone who may 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: have than hurt or offended tonight. The Tennessee State Conference 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: of the NAACP responded, saying, in part, Representative Cheryl's comment 91 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: is beyond disgusting. He is celebrating a particular form of 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: execution used against African Americans in Tennessee and across the nation, 93 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: including innocent and wrongfully convicted persons. In many parts of 94 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: the South. Lynchings took place in nearly every county as 95 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: it exemplified racialized and anti black violence. He's just apologized 96 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: because he said it out loud. Okay, remember about six 97 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: years ago, maybe a little longer than that, probably a 98 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: little longer, when President Obama was in office, and you know, 99 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: we thought we was living in a post racial America, 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: and there were these conversations about old biggots dying. All right, 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: some people would ask the question, some people would make 102 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a statement, but basically the sentiment was racism will end 103 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: when old biggots die. I don't think anyone ever thought 104 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: racism would disappear completely, but that it would maybe lessen 105 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: with each generation. You know, some people, to the chagrin 106 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: of doctor Umar, talked to more into racial racial relationships 107 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: that popped up in the more by racial children there are, 108 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: the more equality we would see. I never agreed with that, 109 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: because you can be by racial, but if you present 110 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: its black, you are indeed still not ah and some 111 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: people thought the more people of color we see in 112 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: positions of power, it will help to change the way 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: people see race. Well, we had a black president, of 114 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: black and Asian vice president. We got people of color 115 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, all throughout Congress. All I'm saying 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: is it's people of color in positions of power everywhere now. 117 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: But I don't feel racism lessening, okay at all, especially 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: when you have people like Paul Cheryl in positions of 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: power in their respective states. Like you know, hearing Paul 120 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: asking to add hanging to that amendment doesn't surprise me 121 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: in the least bit. Nope, doesn't surprise me at all, 122 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: simply because, in the words of Thanos, as long as 123 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 1: there are those that remember what was, there will always 124 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: be those that are unable to accept what can be 125 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: tradition for you.
