You have 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to cover the big events.

But trust me, I wish I was there. 37 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: No offense, of course, I thought. You know what I 38 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: thought You're gonna say, I can't afford it because I'm 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: paid to just be a Johnny Ken board op. No. 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: I would have tried to figure you're out of wave 41 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: getting access from Dave Weis or something. Oh that's true, right, 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 1: all right? Klac The Dodger station. Gotta use my own sources, 43 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. All right, well that's where John is. 44 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: We're going to talk later on this hour to a 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: woman who was also attacked by the same man who 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: clubbed the Olympic volleyball player. Hitting was Kim Glass. She's 47 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: made many videos showing her injuries, vowing to be a 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: part of the movement to stop guys like this from 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: being on the street. Our guest was attacked back in 50 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and you can imagine her shock when she 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: found out that Kim Glass's attacker was the same man. 52 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: That's our criminal justice system today. That's how it goes. 53 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: He's still out there on the streets. You will learn 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: that apparently he was the subject of someone that was 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: allowed to be sent to other programs rather than jail. 56 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: All right, this is what they now do. They don't 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: want to say than anybody to jail or prison, so 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: instead they detour them to some other program that they 59 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: think is going to help them. Most of the time, 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: he didn't show up. He absconded. As the word, he 61 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: ignored the special program. So you'll find out more about 62 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: her and her story coming up at about thirty minutes 63 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: on the John and Ken Show. We have provided a 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: link at KFI AM sixty dot com to the change 65 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: dot org petition that you can sign to ask the 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: La County Board of Supervisors to remove Barbara Ferrere as 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: the head of the health department. It's that simple, and 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: I think it's come to a head because she now 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: wants to send us back into indoor masking for who 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: knows how long, but it's going to happen on July 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: twenty nine unless there's some big change in the numbers, 72 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: which I told you the metric for this is ridiculously low. 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't take much to move l A County into what 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: they call this high community spread category. It's nonsense. Ignore 75 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: it because, as we were told two years ago, remember 76 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: Flatten mccurve, it's all about the hospitalizations. People have to 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: be hospitals, and the hospitals the hospitals are overwhelmed. That 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: means too many patients die that could have been saved. 79 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: That's not happening right now. And that's according to a 80 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: top doctor in the LA County hospital system. That's what 81 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: he said in a private online meeting that apparently the 82 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: audio leaked, and good thing it did, because that's what's 83 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: going on on the inside among the medical experts. But 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: Barbara Ferreir, on the outside, and she's just got a 85 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: PhD in social work, has decided, you know, she wants 86 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: to change the fabric of society by protecting the vulnerable. 87 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: But you know, even in that case, the numbers don't lie. 88 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: People are not getting that sick, even if they're from 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: low income communities. You're gonna mourn twelve deaths a day. 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna have twelve deaths from almost any cause in 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: La County on any given day. That's all we're dealing 92 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: with right now. That was today's report. So if you've 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: got to kfi amixty dot com, you will find on 94 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: the John and Kent page the petition which is going 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: to be presented to the La County Board of Supervisors. 96 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: If it gets to seventy five signatures, probably doesn't mean much. 97 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: It'll go in a pile at one of their meetings 98 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: and they'll ignore it. But you know, got to try 99 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: to affect something here and got to try to get 100 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: more attention to this because most people just say, oh, 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: if the Health Department says we should do that, then 102 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: I guess we should do that. They know. No, it's 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: one woman at the County Health Department, not backed up 104 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: by some of the top doctors and epidemiologists, least the 105 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: ones on that recording that we talked about yesterday and today. 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: All right, now we move over to the state of 107 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: life in the city of LA and the County of La, 108 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system, and of course the little things. Right, 109 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: we need to talk about this story because a few 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: weeks ago when the sixth Street Bridge opened in downtown 111 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's thirty five hundred feet. It's not that 112 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: big a bridge. It spans the La River and the 113 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: one on one Freeway and it connects Boil Heights on 114 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: the east side with what they called the Downtown Arts 115 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: District on the western side of the bridge. It took 116 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: about six years to build this thing. Do you know 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: how much it costs? A jaw dropping five hundred and 118 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars. They hired some special architect, Michael 119 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: maultsan unbelievably exciting moment, he said on July eighth, as 120 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: they opened the bridge. Garciti was there. A lot of 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: public officials came there, the media came there. It was 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: a big moment. It's funny because I wasn't downtown LA 123 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: about a week later and I said I'd like to 124 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: go see this bridge. I never got there because I 125 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: heard it was crowded with people walking back and forth. 126 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: Because it's like it's exciting. It's some new tourist attraction, right, 127 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: everybody wants to see it because they got media attention. 128 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: It's a bridge, it's kind of pedestrian walkway. Well, here's 129 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: what's happened in just see July eighth to July nineteenth, 130 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: eleven days. It's already been vandalized, graffitie, it's the quality 131 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: of life stuff. And the other thing that's been happening 132 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: are straight takeovers. We have one report from ABC seven 133 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Christine Cordero. We stood on this bridge as they commemorated it, 134 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: and we really got the sense of how much it 135 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: means to the people who helped get it done. It 136 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: took nineteen years from renderings to ribbon cuttings, and eight 137 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: days later they've already seen some trouble. This video shows 138 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: a couple of people who were living on the edge, 139 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: if you will. They were taking photos in a spot 140 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: that is definitely not designed for this. You can see 141 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: without steps or offense. The margin for error is really slim. 142 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: Of course, the city had installed some kind of deterrent 143 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: at the very least this brand new, state of the 144 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: art bridge that people spent six years building. Would it 145 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: look the same. If so, the theatrics, though they weren't 146 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: just on foot this weekend, people and cars burned out. 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: If you drive over the bridge now like we did, 148 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: you'll see some of the tire marks donuts over the asphalt. 149 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: The LPD told us that they did not arrest anyone. 150 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: The LPD NCHP Street Racing Task Course does arrest people 151 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: in certain cases. Penalties include fines, possible jail time. Of course, 152 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: the biggest consequences that you could hurt or kill someone 153 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: by doing any of this kind of behavior. As far 154 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: as we know, nobody was hurt, though. And what happened 155 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: over the weekend, Yeah, that was Sunday. Apparently last night 156 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: it happened again. There was a hidden run crash and 157 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: apparently the cops came there about ten thirty last night. 158 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: No one was injured, but one of the drivers left 159 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: their car on the bridge and ran. Because they're all 160 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: doing stunts. One of the other big quality of life problems. 161 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: It's not happening where I live, but it's like the 162 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: homeless rows if you don't take control of it quickly 163 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: and early. Are these street takeovers. It's happening in a 164 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: number of neighborhoods around La County, apparently thanks to social media. 165 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: A bunch of people show up, a bunch of drivers 166 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: show up, and they do stunts, go around in circles 167 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: and stuff, and I like to burn rubber, right, it's 168 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: very exciting. You may have heard the stories. A couple 169 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: of people have been killed in some of these street takeovers. 170 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: That hasn't happened yet on the sixth Street bridge, but 171 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: this is what's happening. They had to close traffic in 172 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: both directions. They didn't reopen it until early this morning. 173 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: It looks like it's the second straight night of this 174 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: because word spreads on social media. Oh it's a great 175 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: new bridge. It's fun. Let's go there and do a 176 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: street too, especially a bridge. It's kind of dramatic in 177 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: terms of the video, and I like the way the 178 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: news reporter there was a named Christian Cordero. People that 179 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: look like they're unsafe. I guess they're kind of leaning 180 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: over on the bridge. Or standing up on parts of 181 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: it just to take pictures and video and stuff like that. 182 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: This is it. The riff raft takes over. Whether there's 183 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: just no consequences in the city of La, the County 184 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: of La. A lot of people just believe. And like 185 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: I said, it starts sometimes at a very low level, 186 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: the quality of life kind of things. You let people 187 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: vandalize things, you let people do street takeovers, you let 188 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: homeless people wander around short most of them aren't violent, 189 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: most of them aren't going to hurt people, but it's 190 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: still an eyesore. And what you're telling everybody else is 191 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: that we don't care. We're not going to punish this behavior. 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: We're not going to remove anybody, because what the hell, 193 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: you know. People should be free to do what they want. 194 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: And this is the consequences that you suffer. You're going 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: to get more and more scenes like this. And now 196 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: this massive project, five hundred eighty eight million dollars is 197 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: already being taken over by streets and vandalizers. It's just 198 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: out of control, all right. When I come back. Another 199 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: thing that's going on, and we've mentioned this earlier in 200 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: the show, and we have a report to play for you, 201 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: is the warning from LAPD and this goes with all 202 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: of this. If you can't control the criminals, if you 203 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: do not punish the criminals, then just warn people to 204 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: take more precautions. This one concerns jewelry. As soon as 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: I come back, though, you will get the final keyword 206 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: of the day, which you can enter on the website 207 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: to possibly win a thousand dollars. Here on the John 208 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on KFI well, coming up after five thirty, 209 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a woman who at the 210 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: time was an LA County Deputy daw about that she 211 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: was attacked by the same man that attacked the Olympic 212 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: volleyball player who made the news recently, vowing that she's 213 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: going to do something about people like this still on 214 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: the streets. This man loves to attack women and he 215 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: usually has an implement, a golf club, a hammer, a 216 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: metal rod. Fortunately for our guests, she was not attacked 217 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: with anything but probably his fist. But she'll talk about 218 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: her experience and her frustration when she learned that Kim Glass, 219 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: the volleyball player, was attacked by the same man just 220 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: a couple of years later. Still out there and it 221 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: may happen again. He'll probably be released again after they 222 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: try to divert him to some sort of mental health services, 223 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: which clearly is not working. He needs to be put 224 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: away for a long time, but we don't do that 225 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: anymore doing which is the whole problem with the criminal 226 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: justice system in the City of LA and the County 227 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: of LA. This happened last summer, and it's happening again. 228 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Police Department has issued a community alert 229 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: what's referred to as an area safety bulletin. This is 230 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: for people in the Melrose area of Los Angeles. Melrose Avenue, 231 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: of course, has many stores that people shop in. Here's 232 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: the report from NBC's Beverly White from follow home robberies 233 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: originating in the Jewel Redistrict or on Melrose Avenue to 234 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: car break ins pretty much anywhere. Experts say defense is 235 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: key if you want to hang on to nice things happens, 236 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: it happens. The LAPD tried to comfort the aspiring filmmaker 237 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: who lost and estimated ten thousand dollars in cameras, lenses, 238 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and laptops last Friday when someone broke into her car, 239 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: Kelsey Henderson learning there's no guarantee of safety in downtown 240 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: LA even when a guard charges you to park on 241 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: a secure parking lot, that it's expensive and it takes 242 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: a village when it comes to being like a filmmaker, 243 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: especially when you're just starting out. So I had some 244 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: friends ll let me use their equipment and was helping 245 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: me out this film. So I just feel devastated that 246 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: it's not just me that's effected. Luckily, Henderson did not 247 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: meet the thief who cleaned out her car near ninth 248 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: in Broadway, but near Fairfax and Melrose last week, police 249 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: confirm a pair of frightful confrontations. Two robbers jumped from 250 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: a car and snatched the pedestrians Rolett's watch, while a 251 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: high end watch was nearly stolen from a shopper in 252 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: a store. The criminals got away already. Expert Lewis Perry 253 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: believes we're living in dangerous times. Crime is still going up. 254 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: The criminals are getting away with crimes that they're not 255 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: having to go to jail for that. The laws need 256 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: to be changed. People need to be more proactive crimes, 257 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: prompting LAPD to reissue warnings that discourage wearing high end 258 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: jewelry or leaving valuables in cars tourists tell us they 259 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: understand the business owners regret it's come to this. It's 260 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: not good for business, you know, I mean, leave all 261 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: your stuff at home. It's like, why bother going? There's 262 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: other places to go. Leave all my pearls, all my 263 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: crystals and all that I wear around my neck and 264 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: my rings at home. Victim Kelsey Henderson is now crowdfunding 265 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: to help replace what was stolen and holding a kind 266 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: thought for everyone driven to desperation. I guess they're looking 267 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: for means to just be able to survive themselves. And 268 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: I just wish that the city or you know, just 269 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: the local government officials can help people will not be 270 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: able to have to stoop to these laws. If you 271 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: ever think you're being followed in your car, LAPD says, 272 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: call nine one one right away and if possible, drive 273 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: directly to the police station. That's from NBC four in 274 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: Beverly White. Where do we start here? Well, I enjoyed 275 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: the guy his name is Matthew Rooney, who leaves all 276 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: his pearls and crystals that he wears around his neck. 277 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: He leaves all his rings at home. Okay, that's good advice. 278 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Leave your pearls and crystals at home. I mean, you 279 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: ever hear at these guys that have like five hundred 280 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars watches. It get stolen, all right, that's kind 281 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: of crazy to walk around with a five hundred thousand 282 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: dollars watch. This is common sense. You should be aware 283 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: of your surroundings. But it tells you all you need 284 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: to know about the state of things today that because 285 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system in LA really in California, is 286 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: not doing enough to punish the criminals, you have a 287 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: lot of recitivists. You have a lot of others that 288 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: have never been caught, but they know that doing this 289 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: is easy money because if you do get caught, the 290 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: consequences are minimal. There's often no bail, and there's many 291 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: says no prosecution. One thing that factors into this, of course, 292 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: is prop forty seven nine fifty dollars or less. But 293 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: even beyond that, a lot of these are considered, particularly 294 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: if you don't necessarily pull a gun. Well, even if 295 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: you do. With our DA, he doesn't seem to care, 296 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: but they're considered like low level, minor offenses. Oh yeah, 297 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, you just you just do you just grab 298 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: somebody's watch off the street. I don't blame the LAPD. 299 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: They're at a point now where what are they going 300 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: to do If you've got revolving door justice where they 301 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: arrest somebody and he's back out on the streets a 302 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: few hours later. The best thing you can do is 303 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: just warn people. Don't make yourself a target, which is 304 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: a sad way to live. I don't particularly like walking 305 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: around with designer handbags or high end jewelry or any 306 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: of these things that are mentioned in this story, but 307 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: some people do because this is LA and they like 308 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: to show off their beautiful car and their beautiful watch 309 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: and their beautiful jewelry. And they should have a right 310 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: to do that, as obnoxious as it can be. But 311 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: now not a good idea, particularly if it's later at 312 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: night and you're walking in one of the more high 313 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: end shopping areas. I know Beverly Hills does its best 314 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: to clamp down on this, but in the city of 315 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: LA it's still a problem. That mentions the jewelry district 316 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: in downtown LA and Melrose Avenue where you have stores 317 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: and at all high end stores, but it's a pretty 318 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: busy kind of shopping area for people to go to. 319 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: But so now they issue safety bulletins because they don't 320 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: know what to do either, except you know, maybe one 321 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: way to cut down on crime is to have people 322 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: wearing less showy items that gets the attention of the robbers. 323 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: Do you remember that off duty LAPD officer who was killed. 324 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: He was out apartment hunting with his girlfriend. He apparently 325 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: had some sort of chain around his neck that got 326 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: the attention of the criminals. I don't think it turned 327 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: out to be anything particularly expensive. His mother was lamenting this, 328 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: but that's what got the attention of the criminals and 329 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: they turned around and they tried to get it from him, 330 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: and he eventually was shot and killed. That's where we 331 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: are smashing grab follow home robberies, no consequences. You get 332 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: more of it, all right. When I return, we're going 333 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: to talk to a woman. She was at the time, 334 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: and this is back in twenty twenty in La County, 335 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: Deputy DA. She couldn't believe it when the volleyball player, 336 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: the Olympic volleyball player Kim Glass, who went public with 337 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: a man who attacked her, and then the man's name 338 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: and likeness became known. Our guests couldn't believe it's the 339 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: same man that attacked her. He's still out there. He's 340 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: still clubbing women with whatever tooling get his hands on. 341 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk to her next on the John and Ken Show. 342 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: All right, we have a chance now to talk to 343 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: a woman by the name of Irene Lee's. She's agreed 344 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: to come on our show and talk about what happened 345 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: to her. In August of twenty twenty, she was attacked 346 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: by this same man that attacked the Olympian volleyball player 347 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: and model Kim lass. Kim got a lot of media 348 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: attention because she went very public with the attack. Apparently 349 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: a construction vault was hurled at her and if you've 350 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: seen the video, she got some real injuries to her face, 351 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: almost blinded her. Yep. Fifty one year old Simeon task 352 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: Phamarian is the person that did this, and we've come 353 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: to find out since this attack happened, he's dounned this 354 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: to numerous other women, including our next guest. In twenty eighteen, 355 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: he chased down two women with a golf club and 356 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: a hammer. In January twenty twenty, he bleeded guilty to 357 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: striking a nineteen year old with a metal pole, and 358 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: even after that, even after multiple incidents he was only 359 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: given probation. He did go to jail for attacking our guest, 360 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Irene Lee, who at the time was an Elle County 361 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: Deputy DA. She now works for the La County Council. 362 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: Let's get her on the show and talk about her ordeal. 363 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: And she's speaking out because this I should not be 364 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: on the streets obviously, Irene, welcome, Hi, Thanks for having me. 365 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: First of all, I just want to say that I'm 366 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: here on my personal capacity. I don't represent the opinions 367 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: of my current office or any entity that I worked 368 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: for in the past. Well, all right, understood, all right. 369 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: It was August of twenty twenty that you were attack. 370 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Can you tell people how it went down? Sure? I 371 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: was walking to Starbucks in Little Tokyo by First in 372 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and that's one of the Starbucks that's being 373 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: closed down that I'm sure that everyone knows about. Oh, yeah, 374 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: I was. It was a weekday, I believe it was 375 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: a Monday, at about eleven in the morning. I was 376 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: walking with my coworkers Cindy, and she pulled me to 377 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: her right and just within seconds, I've felt a lot. 378 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: I felt a very severe impact to my back and 379 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: it caused me to stumble forward, nearly falling to the ground, 380 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: and I was screaming and crying, and I thought a 381 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: bicyclist had hit me. So I was stunned, and Cindy 382 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: was screaming, calling for help, and a security guard that 383 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: was nearby was able to pepper spray the man who 384 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: attacked me and detain him until the police arrived. What 385 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: did he hit you with or how did he hit you? So? 386 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: I can only assume that it was his fist. That's 387 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: what I thought, because I didn't see a weapon in 388 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: his hand when I turned around moments later. But you know, 389 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: he had this history of using weapons. It could have 390 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: been a weapon. I just don't know, because in the 391 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: news story it said he well, no, then that's one 392 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: of the other people he attacked. Yeah, I guess. So 393 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that there was never a conclusion as 394 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: to what he used. He could have just punched you. 395 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: I guess you did not. I don't know. You did 396 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: not notice him before this encounter at all in the area. No, No, 397 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is an area that a lot 398 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: of the attorneys walk around, is very close to the courthouse. 399 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: I had. Yeah, I didn't notice anything right before? What 400 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: was his demeanor, what was his size? Did he seem 401 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: like a crazy guy or somebody who blends you. No, 402 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: it's hard to say, because you know, he came up 403 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: from behind me, and when he was being detained by 404 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: the security guard, he was very quiet. I didn't you know. 405 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't saying, you know, garble things, and he wasn't 406 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: acting crazy, so to speak. He was pretty calm. I see. 407 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: That's really scary because if he was acting like a lunatic, 408 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: at least you might have a few seconds to be 409 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: on guard, to be prepared. And but if he looks 410 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: normal and he's quiet and then suddenly hits you, punches you, 411 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: or throws something at you, then you have no chance 412 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: to dodge the weapon. Were you heard it all? Then? 413 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: From this attack, yes, I had a bruise on my 414 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: back that lasted about three weeks. I was sore for 415 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: quite a bit. Well, let's talk about what happened with 416 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: the credital justice system with this man and your case. Sure, 417 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: so the next day I was noticed by the detective 418 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: that he was on probation for assaulting other people. And 419 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: then during the course of the trajectory of the case, 420 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: I found out that he was on felony probation for 421 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: two separate incidents involving women. One the twenty eighteen incident 422 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: where he had used a golf club and a hammer 423 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: to chase after two women and threatening to bash their 424 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: heads in, and then in twenty nineteen where he ultimately 425 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: pled guilty. In January of twenty twenty, he struck a 426 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: nineteen year old woman with a metal pool numerous times, 427 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: injuring her lower back. And he was also on felony 428 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: probation for stealing from a construction site in twenty nineteen. 429 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: What is felony probation? Did he get prison time here 430 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: or no? So he ultimately got prison with me. So basically, 431 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: felony probation is a grand sled promise to the court 432 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: that he's going to behave abide by certain conditions and 433 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: he'll be watched by the court. And you know, in 434 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, when he pled to the incident involving the 435 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: two women, he was put on probation, and then he 436 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: immediately absconded from probation because you're supposed to check in 437 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: with your probation officer and he didn't do that. And 438 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: then in August of twenty nineteen is when he stole 439 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: the items from the construction site. And that's when he 440 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: was placed in a program that's known as ODR in 441 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: the LA County court system, which is designed to provide 442 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: mental health services and programming for the homeless. Did he 443 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: get it didn't have any effects? Well, he went to 444 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: this program and he in January of twenty twenties when 445 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: he pled or I'm sorry, when he pled on the 446 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: assault against the nineteen year old woman, and he a 447 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: walled from the ODR program in eight I would believe 448 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: his March of twenty twenty. He was arrested in April 449 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, and he was reinstated on the program, 450 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: and then again he violated by a walling again in 451 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: July of thirteen, July thirteenth to twenty twenty, and then 452 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: he was arrested with my case. That's his second a 453 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: wall third violation on probation where the court had reinstated him. 454 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: And when my incident happened, the DA assigned to the 455 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: case had argued for him to be sentenced, you know, 456 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: to prison, but the court again reinstated him on probation. 457 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: So the way I'm counting here he assaulted at least 458 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: four women and absconded on probation at least three times, 459 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: and still didn't go to jail for any of this. 460 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: And he clearly has some kind of weird compulsion about 461 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: whacking women with weapons. Yeah, with weapons, right right? And 462 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: that was the most frightening thing. And that's what I 463 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: was trying to convey to the court because you know, 464 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: when when the police asked me do you want this 465 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: guy to be arrested? You know, the thought going through 466 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: my mind was has he done this to other people? 467 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Because that's the DA side of me thinking, Okay, has 468 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: he done this to other people? Who's going to be 469 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: the next victim? And you know, I try to convey 470 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: that to the court last summer when I gave my 471 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: statement at the the sentence thing, I asked the court, 472 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: you know, is he going to hurt someone else? Is 473 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: there going to be another victim? I can't take that chance, 474 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: And I said, how many more women did this defendant 475 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: have to hurt for it to matter to this court? 476 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: And I felt like my experience was being dismissed by 477 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: the court. So the judges are also I had the 478 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: same philosophy as as like George Gascone and some of 479 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: these activists. They don't think anybody should be punished, that 480 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: anybody should be imprisoned for any kind of crime. I mean, basically, 481 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: he got seven chances. Yeah, this guy's a serial attacker. 482 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: And I guess when you saw the Kim Glass case, 483 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: you must have been, oh my god, when you saw 484 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: who the attacker was of Kim Glass. Right. Yes, I 485 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: was absolutely stunned, and I was upset because I felt 486 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: like I'd warned the court. I felt like the court 487 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: had so many red flags along the way to show 488 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: that this guy deserves to go to prison. Well, but 489 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: not every defendant does, but this particular defendant, I mean, 490 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: with his history, it just seems like a no brainer. Right, 491 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: So keep does he keep sliding because they think he's 492 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: mentally unbalanced? Is that why he keeps getting a break? 493 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: I was not there during all the proceedings. All I 494 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: can say is that the court kept wanting to give 495 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: him a chance. With the ODR programs. Point, that's an ideology, though, 496 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: that's an ideology that we keep letting them out no 497 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: matter what, because no rational person, right, if you don't 498 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: want to fill up the jails in prisons, you find 499 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: excuses to keep people out of them. I mean, what's 500 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: this program He's come up with? These programs that this 501 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: guy easily abscondes from, and the programs don't work. I 502 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: don't want to say blanket statement that this program doesn't 503 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: work at all. I've seen it work well for certain 504 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: types of defendants, but this particular defendant, you know, he 505 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: abused his chances so many times. And I don't know 506 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: what the court was thinking at the time, but I 507 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: obviously wholeheartedly disagree with what she did, and I felt 508 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: like she was not considering the impact to victims and 509 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: to public safety. It cannot always be all about considering 510 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: him first, and that's where we have problems when there's 511 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: preferential treatment for violent criminals overlaw abiding citizens. This is 512 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: all the rage for so many in the justice system. Now, 513 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: isn't there a way to even put him away in 514 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: like one of these mental hospitals because he's violent, Well, 515 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: that that would require him to be found, you know, 516 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: insane and sent to a facility. But at this point, 517 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: or at the point where my case had occurred, you know, 518 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: the court had the option of sentencing to prison or 519 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: reinstating him. Ultimately, she did sentencing to prison, but it 520 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: was one of the lowest sentences available and he had 521 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: a lot of credits already. I mean, repeatedly whacking women 522 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: with metal objects. That's not the definition of insane. You know, 523 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what is well, Irene, we appreciation, thank 524 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: you coming on and then very talking about this with us. 525 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: We thank you very much. That must have been quite 526 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: a shock when you saw he showed up again attacking women. Yes, 527 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: and I just want to say, you know, for my 528 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: my prior colleagues that you know, and for the people 529 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: of La County, you know, don't lose hope. I know, 530 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: it just seems like so many bad things are happening 531 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: every day, but they are just amazing prosecutors that are 532 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: trying to find justice. Fight the good fight, and you know, 533 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: not all hope is lost. We have a fighting chance, 534 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: all right. Irene Lee, who was attacked by the same 535 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: man that attacked the Olympian Kim Glass a couple of 536 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I rine was attacked in twenty twenty and 537 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: this guy just keeps getting away with it. Thanks for 538 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: coming on. Thank you, guys. Take all, who's the judge, 539 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: who's the judge? You let this guy off over and 540 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: over again. There must be another gascone type John and 541 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: Ken show.

Already this hour we play the calls. 543 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: You can use the iHeartRadio Apple micro phone icon or 544 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: you can call one eight seven seven moist eighty six 545 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: eight seven seven six six four seven eight eighty six. 546 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: Our guest, Irene was really valuable. She used to work 547 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: in the La County DA's office as a deputy DA 548 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: and that's the job she had in twenty twenty when 549 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: she was attacked by the same man that attacked the 550 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: Olympic volleyball player Kim Glass. And she was surprised, maybe 551 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: not really that he was on the streets again. And 552 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: she mentioned several times to her say O d R. 553 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: O d R stands for Office of Diversion and re Entry. 554 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: It's described as a permanent supportive housing program to serve 555 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: individuals who are homeless, have a serious mental health disorder, 556 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: and are incarcerated in the La County jail. Now that's 557 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: the big word, diversion. The early County boarder supervisors, a 558 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: lot of our elected to are big on this. They 559 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: don't want anybody to go to jail to prison. Instead, 560 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: we're going to divert them to programs. And that's what 561 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: this guy benefited from. They kept diverting him to what 562 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: we don't know because he kept not showing up. Now, 563 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: she said the program does work, but she made a 564 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: good point. If he keeps absconding from the program and 565 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: refuses to show up for the help, then you have 566 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: to take more serious action, and that is jail prison. 567 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: You've got to You can't say, well, you know, he 568 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: didn't show up, and good luck he's out there and 569 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: maybe he'll behave himself. He didn't. He likes to attack 570 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: women with objects, seriously sick stuff. It's only good that 571 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: he hasn't killed anybody yet, but he's sure is coming close. 572 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: So we'll probably do more on that program. By the way, 573 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: remember last year in San Francisco, there was viral video 574 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: of a guy that rode out of a Walgreens store 575 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: with a bag full of stuff he shoplifted. Well, he's 576 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: back in the news. He has been nabbed again by 577 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco police for stealing more than fifteen thousand dollars 578 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: worth of items. Now he was caught after he stole 579 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: the stuff from the drug store and left on his bicycle. 580 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: He drove right past security. And it says in the 581 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: story that he got sixteen months in prison one of 582 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: year probation, But it's not even a year later since 583 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: he committed that crime, and he wasn't caught right away, 584 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: so he clearly didn't serve sixteen months in prison. I'm 585 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: sure a part of it was another diversion program. So 586 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: now he's nabbed. He's apparently been stealing medical Last year 587 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: he stole medications, clothing, and cosmetics, but this time he 588 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: really upped the value. Fifteen thousand dollars worth of stuff. 589 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: They found him with burglary tools, drug paraphernalia, and of course, 590 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: all right, it's now a probation violation for doing that. 591 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: All right, we got Conway. Oh hey, now, well we 592 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: got LA residents are snitching on each other when it 593 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: comes to wasting water. There was one story didn't happen 594 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: here in southern California. I think it was uh. I 595 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: think it's a central California where there was a son 596 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: he was probably fifteen sixteen, called the cops and saying 597 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: that his dad was watering too much. Isn't that crazy? 598 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: Nice kid? Yeah, like I and I thought about it. 599 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: I thought, Man, if my dad, if I witnessed my 600 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: dad killing a couple of guys, I still wouldn't dropped 601 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: a dime on him. I think they lived in the 602 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: same house. I think it has to do with us. 603 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: I think I think it has a It's a divorced 604 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: couple and the mom is getting back at the dad 605 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: through the kids. Has to be it. Man, imagine every 606 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: day calling up the cops on your day because he's 607 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: using too much water.
