But I'm 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.840 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at Alex Alonso one zero one. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.360 So let's get into us on act checks from from 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.440 last week. Last week, I said that the North Daniels 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.160 and the Sounnial conflict that started in nineteen six eight 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.200 was over a shoe that was stolen out of the cell. Now, 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.080 some people hit me up and said it really wasn't 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.040 about the shoe, and that person is partially correct. The 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.520 North Daniels and the Sounennials were already going at it, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.799 but when that shoe was stolen out of the cell 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.200 from that North Daniel, uh, it just took it to 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.800 the next level. So technically it wasn't the beginning of 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.720 the conflict between the North and the South, but it 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.040 certainly kicked it off. But as of last year, two 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.120 thousand and eighteen, that conflict is over. Um last week 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.039 we talked about the Fresnel Bulldogs there was a little 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.840 bit of confusion if they were Northerners if they were Southerners. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.480 So I did a little research and found out they 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.040 were Northerners at first, but then they broke away from 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.400 the North and became Southerners for a little while. Mexican 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.000 mafia did not embrace them after a short time, and 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.520 then that's when they decided to go independent. So they're 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.960 they're independent. They're the only like prison gang that's independent 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:05.120 Mexican prison gang that's independent from the north or the south. So, um, 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.920 that's that history. And then last week we mentioned Johannes 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.000 Messerly who shot Oscar Grant in the back. Uh, there 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:13.560 was some issue about how old he was. He was 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.400 actually twenty six years old when that happened in two 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.159 thousand nine, and Oscar Grant was just twenty two when 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.760 that happened. Um. Also, the we we were talking about 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.440 what was the jury like? I think you brought that up, James. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.400 What was the jury like of Amber Geiger? I looked 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.960 it up. Of the twelve jury members and the four alternates, 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:40.040 seven were black, which was pretty impressive. Seven were black. Well, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.240 they didn't report the alternates, So we're talking about sixteen jurors. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.880 So this is seven of all of them. I don't 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.240 know if the twelve, but seven were black, five were 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.800 non black but of color, and four were white. And 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.200 and I don't know everybody I mentioned that too, is like, 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.960 ain't nothing wrong with it? I think it's some room 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.440 with it, you know what I'm saying. Because if that 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.000 was a black man up there are black woman up there, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.640 then it would have been way different. You got black 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:16.599 people like, is this is it's okay convicting us man, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.080 we don't have a chance. We don't have a chance. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.559 It's rough out there when you when you get black 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.440 people against you. This man ain't never did nothing, ain't 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:33.960 did nothing to nobody, And you get this lady ten years. Well, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.000 the same people that convicted him, I mean convicted her, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.960 are the same people that gave the sentence to So 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.800 we're we're applauding them for finding her guilty and murder, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.839 but we're not happy with the same people that just 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.440 said ten years you know, and listen to it the 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.839 whole time. Yeah, but but she ain't. When did she 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.359 go through a psych and and and she did, she 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.560 had to get evaluated the police chance, and did she give. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.080 You didn't go through probation like we do out here. Okay, 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.920 so she ain't fleading insanities. They have a different course 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.920 of some out here. Everything is something different but different. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.560 I mean, I'm just saying, it's just it's it's you 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.080 ever been sentenced by a jury and California, have you 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.760 ever heard a video home with this line up by 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.440 a jury sentence? Well, motherfuck sat guilty and and they 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:32.160 and they impose the sentence as well, Yeah they got 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.000 Usually the judge actually does the sentence in California State 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.720 Court and say how much time are you're gonna get? 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.840 You know, whole not Yeah, But what I'm saying is, yeah, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.760 not the jury, but the jury decided. I'm okay, but 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.960 that and that's the problem. And the judge actually has 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.600 the authority to overwrite the sentence of the jury. So 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.080 the judge agreed. It's kind of hard to argue it 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.280 because you had a jury of color, you had a 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.280 judge of color, and you had other people of color 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.240 that were part of this trial. And that's what it is. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.760 So I know you feel you're feeling upset because you 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.080 had all these black people that helped find Amber Geiger guilty. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.600 The district attorney was also black, and at the end 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.600 of yeah, one of the one of the prosecutors was black, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.920 and we got a guilty verdict, but we only got 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.760 ten years. I mean, I wanted to see more more, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.680 a little bit more time for for that. I think 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.080 the whole case was crazy. You got the brother Hugg 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.200 and his woman, You got the judge Hugg and his woman. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.199 You got this woman only getting ten years. Then right 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:47.640 after the trial, you got um, um, this boy bought 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.480 them Brown bought them. Oh, you're talking about Joshua. Josh 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.800 the boy just got killed. We'll talk about that a 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.640 little bit. But I'm just saying only one. Yeah, all 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.360 of these different things that happened, and this lady got 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.520 to him. Now they say this lady can file for 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.400 I just said it, appeal bond and not do no 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.600 time at all. What she would be on the street 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.440 while while while Bob didn't go through? But I mean, man, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.520 is that justice? Nah? I don't think so. But hey, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.880 at least an on dude, now she was actually off duty. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.440 But at least a cop was found guilty of murder. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.600 You know, I mean, you gotta have more than that, man, 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.280 because this is a life that ain't did nothing to nobody. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.320 This man was in his own house. But how do 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.400 you feel that the brother is forgiving bought them John's 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.200 brothers forgiving Amber. And this is where I'm telling you 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.600 it gotta be something more to it. It's called a believer. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.400 That's what it's called the hardcore Christians. And look, if 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.680 you're really a Christian and if you really about them scriptures, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.720 you have to forgive. You know that, I vote for yourself. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.120 I don't know why mama didn't where mama didn't go hugger. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.160 Mama's on another level, man, my mama didn't go or yeah, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.200 but I'm just if you're a Christian, if you're a 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:13.280 true Christian, you cannot judge or criticized Botham John's brother 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.439 for hugging Amber Gager. I wouldn't have done it. But 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.360 you can't hate on it if you're if you're saying 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.520 you're a Christian, you can't hate on that. There right 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.160 so many ways you can give her as a Christian. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.880 You don't have to go and hugg her, you don't 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.000 have to talk to it, you don't have to give 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.120 her a Bible said God love you. That the judge 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.599 did that. And how many times have you seen the 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.679 judge give a bible to one of the home is 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.959 after being convicted of murder works she worked in the system, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.640 she probably know it from coming in. Probably probably all right, 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.960 let me finish the rest of these UH fact checks 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:51.800 from last week. UM. Amber Gager actually did lie on 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:56.000 the stand when she testified. She said she gave botham 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.720 John j e a n that's French. For those people 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.240 who think I'm saying John, I'm saying John, or if 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.079 you want to call him Jeanne bought them Jean commands 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.559 to show his hand. But his neighbor Joshua Brown said, 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.240 I heard the whole thing, and I never heard that 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:18.559 woman saying any commands. All I heard was shooting. So 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:28.080 if you start, yeah, we're gonna talk about Joshua Brown 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.960 in a minute. And then UM, one of the UH 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.880 we talked about some of the racist posts that she 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.839 that she posted on different social media sites. I won't 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.520 repeat the one from last week. If you want to 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.120 hear the one I said from last week, go back 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.920 to episode. But there was another one she wrote this 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.400 was amongst other officers. Officer Rivera sent a text to 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.720 Amber Gager saying, damn, I was in this area with 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:59.800 five different black officers. Amber Gager response, not racist, but damn. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.559 So that was one of the posts that came in. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.280 If when you start off a sentence by saying not racist, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.840 that's pretty racist. Racist ship, Yeah, you could kill that 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.800 that that this lady is race. She's completely and sensitive 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.559 to black This is black officers, by the way, this 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.520 is if you were on the scene, Reggie, Right, she's 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.880 talking about you, but other black officers, they all talk 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.960 about black white cops talk about but you make Yeah, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.920 they do not standards right. But but but she was 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.160 such a racist like that, Well, she been living in 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.480 an apartment of complex that apparently had that. There are 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.480 different levels of race being racist. Also you want to 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.800 live among them. How many black people lived in their Reggie, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.640 I don't know, but we know, don't make but we're 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.600 just learning. We're just three with all three the lady 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.040 that video tape, that bonny or a bunny okay, and 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.199 then the one that got killed okay, three three, and 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.559 the whole apartment. I'm just saying, we know that's all 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.520 that they came up with. Ain't nowhere in the world, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.080 ain't nowhere in the world she would have been living 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.960 among them, she would have what she gonna go. You 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:19.240 gotta live among blacks. Where you going. I don't think 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.240 that doesn't make you not racist because you live in 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.360 an area that diverse to get away from him. This 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:29.160 is two thousand and nine. I think personally she had 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.840 a relationship with this young man and the brother, and 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.679 they all interacted. This is why the brother hugged it. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:42.200 They were all because they were forgives. No forgiving. Don't 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.480 let me do any evidence that came up there that 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.720 Dathan Bond and Amber Gager were connected. What they said 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.200 when they gave, when first happened, No, after she was 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.400 sitting the ten years they were trying to figure with 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:01.120 the heat of passion or else what they call it. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:07.120 Reggie comes okay, So if it wasn't, so, how can 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.000 you say it was and it wasn't now a passionate defense. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.920 Don't don't don't mix me up. I am not saying 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.560 that these people was a relationship or even what I'm saying. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.760 I heard there was some noise complaints that were made 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.080 and stuff like that, but I do not believe that 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.720 these two were in any type of relationships or even 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.440 and ain't nobody's gonna believe that this is the first 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:33.080 time she ever interacted with that young man. Nobody, Well, 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.120 that would have been all over the trial exactly. You 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.280 know that wouldn't because ain't nobody are not not just 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:44.120 bumping how you're doing? Well? I know what you're saying 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.920 that if you're saying a relationship, James is talking about 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.400 how how you doing? You know? And then mind you, 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.400 a lot of stuff was was not being was not able. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.040 They weren't able to speak on it. That's true. That 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.520 suppressed certain things and we don't know, we don't know 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.280 the stuff that suppressed. So this in a mama's interview. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.840 And then mama pretty much chelling you. But then she 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:09.040 gave because she don't want to get in trouble. And 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.560 the civil case would have told all of that. Now 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.920 they weren't. I mean, we we know we got three 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.520 people that like to smoke weed, and so maybe they were. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.120 What we got to do with it. My point is 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.120 that's the only thing that connects the three, not not 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.280 Botham John. He smoke weed too, Is that right? I 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:30.040 didn't hear any evidence that Botham John was. Okay, they 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.560 want to get high together. Let's smoke wayed together. Who knows, 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.240 Maybe it's no other people texted each other when they 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.960 have relationship or communicate with each other, not just hey, yeah, 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.880 that would have came out. So you're in the blue 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.400 uniform coming to my apartment and let's smoke some weed together. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.480 That would have came out in the trial. I didn't. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.920 He said there was three of them smoking weed. I 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.280 just said, it's three weeds. We know that now, said 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.960 Amberg got cart That's why she didn't get hired originally. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.680 So she got mad at him because he, uh, you 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:09.080 take the blood and he killed right now? All right, 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.000 all right, so let's get to a couple of these topics. Um. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.880 The first thing I want to talk about real quick, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.400 not to we won't spend too much time on this, 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.120 but last week the East Coast Crips and the Kitchen Crips, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.960 the eight seven Kitchen Crips, came to a truce after 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.880 their thirty eight year conflict that started in ninety one 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.400 when a little beaver from eight seven Kitchen got killed 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:35.040 at a party from buy an East Coast cript. Um. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.400 So they had some meetings and basically, I know you're 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.880 very familiar with the kitchens. Did you know little beaver 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.920 I went to Probably I knew the majority of all 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.640 those guys over there. I don't know the youngsters, these 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.800 new No. No, little beaver that got killed in eighty 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.800 one is what sparked the whole conflict with the East 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.680 Coast crips. And the story that I was told is 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.480 that that little beaver was actually trying to kill the 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.720 East Coast cript and it's guns. And then the East 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.000 Coast crypto pulled his gun out killed a little beaver 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.840 right there at this party. You know what I can 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.840 I can see about that time was when I can 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.600 sit there and tell you about a whole bunch of 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.679 you know, guys on the east side of the fence 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.359 that this happened to. One of particulars is a little 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.840 Buttons was my granddaddy's nem neighbor. I knew him since 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.080 he was a baby. He was fourteen years old. And 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.200 and the complex back then where I'm talking about shooting 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.760 every day, this was the everyday thing. This is when 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.480 it was coming to Drew Junior High and and and 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.480 and the wars was on. Um. It's to be in 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.480 a situation, man, you can't break out of it. You 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.120 can't go this way and you can't go that way. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.200 You couldn't go to school some of the damn time. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.399 That's why a lot of us just hung out. You 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.280 know what I'm saying, what they've been beating for a 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.560 long time. And you know, I don't want to name 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.000 all of these guys that you know, keep players and 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.000 ship in that because you know, I know a whole 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.200 bunch of Kitchens. I know a whole bunch of Swans. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.240 I know a couple of casts that I ran into 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.280 that was East Coast. But you know, it's it's a 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.600 wake up call, man, for these guys. Just think, man, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.640 we didn't lost too many black man behind this ship. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.240 And I applaud and everybody else should applaud these guys 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.320 for stepping up and said we're tired of this ship. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.600 I agree, I agree, we gotta give a little dock 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.600 again for six nineties coasts. Porky from Kitchen Kitchen mo 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.359 And I mean, I wish I could remember all you 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.000 guys names. I know I'm missing a whole bunch of 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.280 names because there was you know, there was dozens of 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.280 people at the table. You know, you got still build 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.760 from kitchen. Oh smokey o g smoky from kitchen. Yeah 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.879 you got, uh you got. You got so many cats 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.200 over there, man, that that played a big part of that. 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.680 You know what I'm saying. Cats that's still doing time 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.840 in prison. So you gotta think about all of this 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.680 ship that's going on, and how the guys in prison field. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.400 You know what I'm saying, You got a whole lot 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.320 of lives lost over one situation. Bloods and cryp. You 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.200 know what I'm saying. One thing, we got to realize 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.359 we ain't getting no month, no check for it. We 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.639 ain't we ain't moving up in the world. But what 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.719 we're doing killing each other. We looked, we looked silly. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.080 And and these guys just waking up. Man. We're trying 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.520 to our kids got to grow up on these streets, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.440 and our kids are getting killed. If y'all ain't seen it, 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.280 you're still the old g But my son just got killed. Man, 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.520 Come on, let's stop. Let's stop losing our kids. And 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.760 these dudes woke up and everybody they gotta put they 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.320 gotta they just gotta keep doing it, keep believing that 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.400 this can be done. You know what I'm saying. Six 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.680 months from now. Let's look, let's look far ahead. It's changing. 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.359 The game is changing now in the streets of l 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.000 at and I got a lot of kids out there 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.360 that that don't have that that big homie, that just 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.399 don't care mentality, and and that's what's gonna kill it. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.480 That's nothing, nothing's gonna kill it. The momentum is too 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.560 strong right now, and we're at a point where a 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.480 lot of these o g s at Afford and over 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.040 they're gonna start to outnumber those voices that are not 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.240 with it. And actually, I can tell you this. There 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.960 was a little skirmish that happened between the Florences and 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:53.960 the East Coast Is about a week ago, and they 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.159 nipped it in the bud. I don't want to go 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.560 into too many details, but they nipped it in the 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.000 bud before it could explod old. And that's what you're 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.760 supposed to do. Yeah, that's what you got to do. 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.479 One thing. You'll be more successful when you have these meetings. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.720 No no, no marijuana, no getting high, no drinking. We 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.679 ain't kicking it over here. And then we're going to 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.040 a meeting. Come on, you ain't thinking right, you know 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.320 what I'm saying stay sober and and and let's just 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.359 be positive on what what we need to do in 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.320 saving lives. This ain't about no game banging ship no more. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.160 So let's keep it on a positive note. It ain't 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.439 about the kitchens, and it ain't about the East Coast. 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.320 It ain't about the seven oh, I mean if their teams. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.479 So let's stop making that the big part of it 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.600 and just make it where there's nothing but men getting 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.240 together trying to defuse a situation that's been going on 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:45.960 for them here for the years. You know, what a 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.480 lot of people say in these discussions is that this 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.800 is bigger than me. This is bigger than our hood. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:52.800 It's like you just said, it ain't it ain't just 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.600 about East Coast or kitchen of Florena. This is a 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.120 bigger the bigger picture. You know. The Hood don't give 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.399 you nothing. The Hood don't give you nothing. The Hood 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:08.320 don't do number takeaway period. Okay, um let's um Takashi's 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.560 back in the news. His trial ended and they found 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.320 those two brothers guilty a few days ago last Friday, 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.160 I believe they were found guilty. That would be Anthony 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:23.320 Ellison and al Jeremiah mac were both found guilty of racketeering. 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.560 Mr mac was also found guilty of conspiring to distribute 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:33.960 drugs and Mr Ellison was convicted of the kidnapping of Takashi, maiming, 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.320 and assault. But they were also acquitted of some of 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:39.920 the charges, so it's not a lose lose situation for them. 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.360 But I think the stuff they were convicted of there's enough. 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.399 There's enough to wash them up. Um. I think the 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.960 interesting thing here is they pushed Takashi's sentencing date to 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.359 December eighteen, and there was a report that he doesn't 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:56.200 want any protective I mean, not protective custody. He doesn't 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.639 want witness protection, which is a suggestion that he feels 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.359 like witness protection is only for people who are free, 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.000 so he doesn't want witness protection. But we'll find out 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:11.720 more after a sentencing. He's gonna get out and go 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.200
