1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to look f daily with me, 2 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: your girl Danielle Moody recording from the home bunker. I 3 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: come to you today, friends, on this fuck it Friday, 4 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: just outdone, outdone by our politicians that refuse to take 5 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: any responsibility, accountability, or action on behalf of the nation's children. 6 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: You all know by now about the most recent shooting 7 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: at Appalachi High School in northern Georgia at the hands 8 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: of a fourteen year old white male student named Colton Gray. Now, 9 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: I want to tell you that, on top of the 10 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: four people that were murdered, two fourteen year old students 11 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: and two teachers, thirty children wounded. The swiftness with which 12 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the law enforcement said that this fourteen year old was 13 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: going to be charged as an adult, as if that 14 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: charge was somehow going to absolve the fear, the frustration, 15 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: and the decades of trauma that have been forced upon 16 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: American families at the hands of Republican legislators. I have 17 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: never experienced, and I say this really seriously here the 18 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: adultification of a white child the way that folks are 19 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: doing right now in Georgia. And what do I mean 20 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: by that? Let me unpack that we know, and studies 21 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: have shown. Data has shown that when white law enforcement, 22 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: for instance, or white people honestly in general, see black children, 23 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: they assume them to be sometimes nearly a decade older 24 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: than they are. One of the most common fears of 25 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: the parents of black children is how long will it 26 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: be for their black child, whether they be nine, ten, eleven, twelve, 27 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, what have you to be seen and treated 28 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: as an adult? Case in point to me or Rice 29 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: in you know the early twenty tens, was shot dead 30 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: on a playground for playing with a toy gun. And 31 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: when the officers, who didn't even bother to get out 32 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: of their car before shooting, spoke or wrote in their 33 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: police report, they added like ten or eleven years to 34 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: Timmy or Rice's age. He was twelve, and they wrote 35 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: about him in the police report saying that black adult 36 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: male in their twenties. What are you talking about? But 37 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: it has always been the adultification of black children, to 38 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: strip them of their childlike innocence and their humanity, and 39 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: to treat them in a way that you wouldn't write 40 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: a perceived white child of the same age. We've talked 41 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: about this before on the show. When you talk about 42 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: the murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two protests 43 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: and was hailed by the right as some type of hero. 44 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, when he's crying in court, he's 45 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: a young boy, not a seventeen year old murderer. When 46 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: you're talking about Donald Trump as a nearly Octanegerian, Oh, 47 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: he'll grow into the job. He'll mature into the space, 48 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: as if adolescence for white men in particular lasts well 49 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: into their eighties. So there is something really strategic about 50 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: the media and law enforcement's treatment of this fourteen year 51 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: old boy. And I think that this is going to 52 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: be the new strategy to absolve themselves from any responsibility 53 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: as to the adults who put that gun in that 54 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: boy's hands. I want you to take a listen to this. 55 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: This was tweeted and I retweeted. It came out of 56 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: k through twelve school shooting database. A reporter asked this 57 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: question to Governor Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia. Reporter, what 58 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: can be done to make Georgia's schools safer? Governor, this 59 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: is not the day to talk about safety or policy. 60 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: We need thoughts and prayers for the victims. Law enforcement 61 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: and educators. I'm sorry, what what day are we waiting for? 62 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: If it's not the day that children are going back 63 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: to school after summer break and being murdered in their classroom. 64 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: If that's not the day, then when is the day? 65 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: Because this fourteen year old was able to bring a 66 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: gun into school because there's no minimum age requirement. I 67 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: want to read to you from what was said by 68 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: Shannon Watts, who is emeritus at Mom's Demand and every Town, 69 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and she posts this, and then I'll read you an 70 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: article that she posted as well. She said last year, 71 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: as a symbol of their commitment to gun extremism, some 72 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Republican members of Congress proudly wore their repelpons shaped like 73 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: an AR fifteen, the same weapon a fourteen year old 74 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: just used to kill student, two students, and two teachers 75 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: in Georgia. She also had said that this consistent negligence 76 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: on the part of Republican lawmakers is why we are here. 77 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: And there is no doubt that gunning down members of 78 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: your community, your fellow students, teachers, is a heinous act. 79 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you that the real evil act is 80 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: having the power to stop this and choosing not to. 81 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Right having the power, the legislative power, to stop this 82 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: from happening, and not doing so. Last year, Shannon Watts 83 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: tweets this, the student responsible for the shooting threatened to 84 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: kill people at the school. Because there wasn't probable cause, 85 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the FBI made no arrests. Georgia doesn't have any red 86 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: flag law, so police also didn't remove the gun from 87 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: the thirteen year old's home. These acts don't come out 88 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: of nowhere, right, they come from someplace. There were warnings, 89 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: There were signs that were readily ignored because in an 90 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: effort to showcase their pure and total allegiance to the NRA, 91 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: these Republican lawmakers have stripped any gun safety, any policies 92 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: that would have alerted them and law enforcement to this issue. 93 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: They continually want to call this a mental health crisis 94 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: as opposed to a gun problem, as if other countries 95 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: in the world don't have teenagers, they do, and the 96 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: difference is those teenagers in other countries don't have access 97 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: to ar fifteens. I will read you this. The fourteen 98 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: year old suspected of a mass shooting at George's Appalachi 99 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: High School had been begging four months for mental health help. 100 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Before his deadly attack on Wednesday, According to an aunt 101 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: of the suspect, he was quote begging for help from 102 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: everybody around him. The aunt told The Washington Post the 103 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: adults around him failed him. The odd who lives in 104 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: central Florida, declined to elaborate on the teen's mental health challenges, 105 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: but said she tried from afar to get him help. 106 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: She said his struggles were exacerbated by a difficult home life. 107 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: He and his family had previous contacts with local child 108 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: service departments. So as this story continues to unfold, this 109 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: is something that could possibly end up with the parents 110 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: being charged. We don't know. But what we do know 111 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: is that guns are the problem. Access, easy access to 112 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: guns are the problem. We are not the only country 113 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: that has teenagers. We are not the only country that 114 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: has people that have mental health issues. We are the 115 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: only country, though, that has more guns then it does people. 116 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: And then we continue when these acts of violence happen, 117 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: to just resign ourselves to it is what it is, or, 118 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump said, we just need to quote get 119 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: over it. There is a message that is going around 120 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: right now that shows one of the last exchanges between 121 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: a mother and their child. Child at the school sends 122 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: a text to their mother saying, I love you. There 123 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: is a shooting. Someone is dead. I'm sorry. It wasn't 124 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: always the best daughter. How is this okay? How is 125 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: it even a choice in the next sixty days between people? 126 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: A party that on their Christmas cards showed their children 127 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: holding guns that are taller than them. A party that 128 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: is telling American families to get over it. The pro 129 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: life quote unquote party doesn't give a fuck if your 130 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: kids are gunned down in school. These are the issues 131 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: that are on the ballot. There is another meme that 132 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: I saw that was like the right to carry, showing 133 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: an outlined mail with an AR fifteen and you know, 134 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: a trucker hat, and then forced to carry the outline 135 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: of a pregnant woman on her knees. This is America. 136 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: That's America in a snapshot. It honestly amazes me that 137 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: people want to come here, because I would be scared 138 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: to death if I lived in another country and my 139 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: family was just like, oh, let's go vacation in the 140 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: United States. I'd be like, huh, they're unhinged over there. 141 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: You could get shot anywhere, a movie theater, a school, 142 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: a place of worship the mall, a concert. The list 143 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: goes on, and what is even more disturbing is that, 144 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: as I record this, folks, it's September fifth. School's been 145 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: back in many places for less than a week, so 146 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: we know, based on patterns alone, this will be the 147 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: first of many. This will be the first of many 148 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: rounds of thoughts and prayers, the first of many handwringing, Oh, 149 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: we don't know why this is happening, Like are we stupid? 150 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: We don't know why? We don't care? And worse yet, 151 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: we keep voting people back in office that tell us 152 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: on a regular basis that they don't care. On top 153 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: of that, you know, Donald Trump and his band of 154 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: merry fucking idiots, you know, once again showing connections to 155 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: Russia and content creators being completely and totally bought out, 156 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred thousand dollars a post to spread 157 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: lies and misinformation. The stakes couldn't be higher, The stakes 158 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: could not be higher.
