1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. This Istil Henderson from We Be on House.

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Our show is about lifting the voices of unhoused people

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: through their survival challenges that we face out here in

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: the street, mainly from police, society, as well as our

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: health and basically our livelihood. So today we're going to

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: talk about vigilantism. But before we get launching into vigilantism,

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: we're going to describe what vigilanteism means. Webster's paraphrase definition

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: means that there has to be an injustice done. Many

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: people think of unveagulantism as in the tone of Batman,

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: he lost his parents at eight years old, so he

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: prowls the streets and beating up on criminals. Many of

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: our society shares that same issue with unhoused people, that

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: we are criminals that should be beaten up on by ordnances,

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: violence as basically death threats and any of the like.

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be violence, but it also could

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: be a targeted campaign. Studies have long shown that unhoused

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: people are much more likely to be victims of violent

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: crime than a house people. But the LAPD doesn't specify

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: or have specific records of vigilantes among the unhoused. Why

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: is that partly because the on house are afraid of

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the copts because they are legislating it. In the past

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: couple of years, that has been a dramatic uptick of

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: violent crimes against unhoused individuals, from arson, harassment, vandalism, stabbings, assault,

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I've had those. All of this has been on their

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: rides against dead House. You may remember in August when

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: an unhoused resident encampment was set on fire by two men,

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: including the son of a local Chamber of Commerce president.

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: That was an intentional vigilante attack and a murder attempt

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: in Ego Oca. One of the most important ones that

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: it's all over the world is Henrik Zildahrik, who was

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: shot for asking for thirty two cents. That was out here,

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: shot by a house residence for asking panhandling. So today

33
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to several people about their own

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: experiences battling vigilanteism. Today we will hear from Harvey. Harvey

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: is a resident from l Play Blow, Chinatown. He's right,

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: you're the Mary Garcettes forty five unhoused into homes, which

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: is still a joke, and he has been on housed

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: for over ten years and he basically has dealt with

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: unhoused vigilanteism for a long time. He's a veteran at it.

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: And we will hear from several people in the Echo

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Park in the Lake, and my prominent guest is Freddy

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: from Echo Park who was almost killed when Amady was

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: thrown in his tent. Doctor King has stated is very

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: very true. We may all come from different boats, but

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: we're all in the same boat now and unhoused people.

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Despite our diversity of reasons we became unhoused, we shared

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: the same thing. We've been harassed by unhoused vigilanteism. I've

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: covered different guests, for example Freddy because his is the

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: most prominent and extreme and the lack of police responds

50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: to it unless after public outcry in a way to

51
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: force the police to come to interview him prompted a

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: lukewarm response. I too have had different attacks as well

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: as the people Echo Park by the Lake do many times.

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Why it is not reported is unhoused people are afraid

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: of police because they're coming with a gun and stick

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: on their hip, and they're are usually telling them to

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: turn down their tents or face arrest or face death.

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: So there is why it's not reported as very substantative.

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: The police community policing is only set for business improvement

60
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: district who calls and sends up a thirty minute meeting

61
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: on why an unhoused person should be in their community.

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of George Hugh's Business Improvement District meeting that's

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: heavily attended by park rangers, lape prosecutors and that kind

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: of thing. And he launches this reason as an occupational hazard,

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: but he fails to realize the occupational hazard is has

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: death a leaf of measures for unhoused residents, So how

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: much about occupy has it when he drives off into

68
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: his expensive home where we have to fend for our lives,

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: for just surviving and just being on house. One thing

70
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: in common with vigilanteism is that the believer that perpetuates

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: violence is they believe that they're right in it, and

72
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: they believe that they have the authority to do this

73
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: and the support of the city, the police, and anyone

74
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: that feels that their cause is just. So. Today, we're

75
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: going to interview a survivor and get his intake on

76
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: his experiences without Herbert do let me welcome you to Freddie. Hello, Freddie, Hello,

77
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: thank you for having me here, and I'm very humble

78
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: through being here. Let's start off a little bit ease

79
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: with some lighthearted questions. How did you become a house

80
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: My wife passed away one year ago and we shared

81
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: all the pencils and from then on it went to

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: downard spine boat. So I'm very sorry to hear about

83
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: the passing of your wife. Has it been easy to

84
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: be able to survive out here with the loss of

85
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: your wife? At first? Know now is I don't want

86
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: to say I'm getting used to it because I don't

87
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: want to be used to it. But it's getting better.

88
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: It's getting much better. I get to know people now

89
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: and they helped me out a lot. There's always a

90
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: silver lining. How long have you been on house? Four months?

91
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: I believe it or not? Okay? What was your first

92
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: time like when you became unhoused? Not knowing what's going

93
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to happen, A little bit scared, but not fearful of anything, really,

94
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: just scared what's going to happen to myself and my

95
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: two cats. What can you tell someone that is about

96
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the virtue of being on house? What would you give

97
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: with techniques or tactics? To use before it ever happens.

98
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: Try to get some type of connection with people will

99
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: help out with the homeless organizations that help them out

100
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: to get housing before they even step onto the street,

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: and there's some possibility that they can get into the

102
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: list rather quickly. What are some things that if you

103
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: think that people misunderstand about unhoused people. Oh wow, that's

104
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: a good one, and yes, probably elaborate on that one.

105
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: We're generalized as criminals, we're generalized as drug addicts, we're

106
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: generalized as alcoholics, and on the above we're not all

107
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: that where a lot of us are decent people. We

108
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: just fell on hard times. I have a creative question,

109
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: so bear with me. If you could have a billboard,

110
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: if anything on it about being on house on it,

111
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: what would it be? What would the billboard though? What

112
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: would the billboard to say, I'm human to me with

113
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: diignating respect? Please? How helpful are the police when you

114
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: were attacked? Let's talk up first, Let's take a step back.

115
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the time that you were attacked. But

116
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: the vigil egenm So tell, let's take your time. I

117
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: was reading a book, a hardcover book at that the

118
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: newspaper sent was a soft cover and there was actually

119
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: hardcover something that they told me to rearrange my previous tent,

120
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: which is a much bigger one than when I have

121
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: now thanks to Jed and something told me rearrange it,

122
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: make it more ample for you and your to free kids.

123
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: And I was trying to go to see by reading

124
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: the book my youngest kid, she has made like a

125
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: space for my perfectly for my head. My other one

126
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: was in the milk crate. Then I just picked up

127
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: on the streets andwhere so I could make a bed

128
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: for them and rather comfortable for and I would sleep

129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: with my head on the side where the MD was thrown.

130
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: That night, people snapped. I heard a V eight engine

131
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: revenue and within seconds of it taken off, the expellion hit.

132
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what would happened, but for sure, if

133
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't hopefully it wasn't many bigger, it could have

134
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: killed me, for one, and that would have been the

135
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: best case scenario. And people are gonna say, what do

136
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: you mean. I could have wand up a vegetable, I

137
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: could have wand up caudriplegic. I'm blind for life, half

138
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: my face torn out, uh death or all the above

139
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: in a combination. So do I believe this was against me?

140
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Not in the least. No, I believe it was against

141
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: a homeless or any homeless. Hell, yes, I was a

142
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: very scary time. What how did you contact a police

143
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: about this? Somebody contacted them before me. I believe it

144
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: was the fire department, as you asked before. Did they

145
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: do much on the scale of one to ten, I'll

146
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: give them maybe barely a five? Why do you give

147
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: them a five? All black and white did show up

148
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: and they told me that a detectives would come the

149
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: next day. Remind you to take a report from me. Well,

150
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: I waited four to five days after they didn't show up,

151
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: So I started trying to get back into my daily

152
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: groove and I do post me get some stobacco money

153
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: for myself, right, and I went on a run on

154
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: a delivery and sure enough, but don't you know, they

155
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: left me a card on my tent. I called them

156
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: immediately so they can come back either that same day

157
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: or with the next two days, which will be forty

158
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: eight hours because the cameras are here only have a

159
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: five day lifespan of memory. Well, this is about three

160
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago and I'm so waiting. That's that's horrible and

161
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: that's sadden. Can you give us a brief instance on

162
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: what your tent looked like? And why did you choose

163
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: a tent? Why didn't you just choose a sleeper bed rod?

164
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: Okay reading being I told the tim because I have

165
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: two cats, I don't want them running into traffick and

166
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: getting killed. And they're actually my emotional support animals. I

167
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: have paperwork for them. My tent I turned them was

168
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: a big one that was given to me for my birthday.

169
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: It was a surprise, a beautiful tent, big for four people.

170
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: And the night it happened, the night it was growing

171
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: up and left the three and a half point white

172
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: diameter the home. I'm the NMT that was thrown at

173
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: my tent. As I said before, I'm very lucky. My

174
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: head wasn't that any one it usually was? Has a

175
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: vigilante attacks affect how you sleep or any of your

176
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: change of habits. Absolutely, can't you give a explain it?

177
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: Sure to this day, every time I hear a B

178
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: eight Indian ready en, it startles me and I open

179
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: up all the all the opening so I can see

180
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: who's around. If I hear puts the too close to

181
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: my tent, which I I do, but when I see

182
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: the shadows staying too long around my tent, it startles

183
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: me off. So I believe I might have some PTSD.

184
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Hell yes, okay, that's very very good question. And one

185
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: of my other questions I have about the tent is

186
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: did you choose to stay in Echo Part for a

187
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: certain reason? And why did you choose Echo Park? Actually

188
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: at the opposite end of the tunnel where I'm stained,

189
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: I used to be the manager with my late wife,

190
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: so it's like a connection, and I actually do enjoy

191
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Echo Park as it is now needs to be a

192
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: very deeper spot, and now it's aside from all the

193
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: winnings against homeless people, it's a great place. You were

194
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: a manager. Where were your manager at apartment building? Were

195
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the tunnel. So what happened to

196
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: get you to become out of the street. I know

197
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: one day you didn't look out at Echo Parker says

198
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: having a lovely building and says I'm going to become

199
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: a homeless and live out of the tent, to get

200
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: thrown a grenade grown at him. I was evicted, to

201
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: tell the truth, Plus had a fallout with the owners.

202
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't paid for fifteen months and I really legally

203
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: I can't get too much more into that. So that's

204
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: what happened there. Yeah, okay, so I'm vigilant. Most people

205
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: that come into living on house, they usually stay in

206
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: the area that they're familiar with or they used to reside. Conversely,

207
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: that's why I stay in Chinatown. I used to reside

208
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: there before I was evicted. It's not a very Uh,

209
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: most of on house people stay in their areas that

210
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: they are comfortable with and have built a community with.

211
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: So is this true to you as well as it

212
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: is absolutely trus Yeah. So again this is an issue

213
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: about on house experience in vigilante attacks. So when we

214
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: talked about vigilanty attacks, most people look at the old

215
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Western ideas where there is this bad guy with this

216
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: in black and the good guy whereas white and he's

217
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: coming in to save the day and gets the girl.

218
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: But most often or not, most vigilantes are people that

219
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: have houses, that have job and they don't like unhoused

220
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: people because they believe that they are eyesore or drug

221
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: addices or they're going to attack their children and they

222
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: deserve and wonder why the police haven't put them in

223
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: jail or moved them away. That's wish prompts a lot

224
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: of different Facebook groups and their next door applications and

225
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: things of that nature to attack unhouse people. What do

226
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: you know about the ordinance of forty one to eighteen,

227
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm look good about it. If that's the one where

228
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: they're making homeless people look like secondary criminals or secondary citizens,

229
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: then they know something about it, but not much see

230
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: for the audience. The forty one eighteen is an ordinance

231
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: that's being discussed by the city and been pushed by

232
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: the mayor and the Board of Supervisors and as ordinances

233
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: to criminalize people that live in their tents near schools,

234
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: theay cares, and anywhere they can't seek sleep or lie

235
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: near any of these bridges or tunnels and in the like.

236
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: And if you are caught with that then you will

237
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: be faced some heavy legal penalties. So it is the

238
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: one that I know about that. As I said, we're

239
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: not second rate citizens. I was born here in the

240
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: United States. I even served my country for a for

241
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: a while. There wasn't much, but I served. I am

242
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: a citizen, okay, And for them and for the rest

243
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: of us to be treated or for the homeless to

244
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: be treated as criminals. It's just not right, it's not constitutional.

245
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Do you thank this ordinance and such things like the

246
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Marits care teams and the police involvement with the vigilante

247
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: attacks because some of the groups that we had on

248
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: Facebook you may not be aware, or you may be aware,

249
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: have police officers supporting some of the vigilante attacks. For example,

250
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: where the A posts where see your lead officer Sean

251
00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Denissi was supporting tacit quietly or subtly a visual throwing

252
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: ice cubes at a homeless person and saying the evidence

253
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: will melt and he just basically chuckled and laughed. Or

254
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: where there's unhoused people are under tunnels to blow their

255
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: horns and things like that. So what do you how

256
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: much you think forty one eighteen would make vigilanteism a

257
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: bigger thing, very much bigger. It's just going to give

258
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: them an unauthorized bad to do even more damaged. Are

259
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: you aware that the LAPD are currently seeking volunteers to

260
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: join up to patrol the areas like that? It doesn't

261
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: surprise me. So here we are today and we're speaking

262
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: with a Freddie at a cafe here at our studio

263
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: to discuss about his experiences with vigilanteism. I'm Theo Henderson

264
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: with Chinatown street Watch. I have a couple more questions

265
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: for you. Do you know any of your other friends

266
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: or anything have been attacked as well? I know some

267
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: of the people. I am trying not to know them

268
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: too much for certain reasons. I'm not going to mention.

269
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: H No, I haven't. I've only heard one attack on

270
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: another woman's person right here. I heard they were almost down,

271
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: but they weren't. That's as far as I went. But

272
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: that's farnum. I agree. So thank you for listening, our listeners,

273
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: and maybe we again meet in a light of understanding.

274
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. That was my conversation with Freddie g and

275
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: then How's resident of Echo Park. For the next segment

276
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: of the show, I went to Echo Park near the

277
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Lake to mix with several people and we had a

278
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: roundtable discussion about their own experiences with vigilantia. The Good Afternoon.

279
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: This is Stele Henderson from street Watch Chinatown right now,

280
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: I'm in Echo Park getting the experiences that we have

281
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: out here in the house, and we found out we

282
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: have a lot in common. We are harassed down in

283
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: Chinatown just like they're harassed here. So it seems like

284
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: all of the police are doing working together to harass

285
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: unhouse people. And in this studio today is a couple

286
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: of new people, new friends of mine. I'm going to

287
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 1: start off with the names. Hit it God. My name

288
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: is Toddity aka Todd Robert Miller. My name is Terrence.

289
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Come now, okay, this is my group of friends. So

290
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go buy the uh do a group thing,

291
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to break it down for an

292
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: individual thing. So I'm going to ask them some general questions.

293
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: What is it like to be on housed out here home?

294
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: I try to look at it in a way that

295
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: I can live wherever I want and I will never

296
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: have to actually hold myself responsible for anybody else. What

297
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: is it like to be on? How I got dropped

298
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: here from a fifty one to fifty program through the

299
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: government that was under a waiver program when they were

300
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: charging four thousand dollars just give me fruit cocktail, and

301
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: I realized how aft up it was, so I decided

302
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break out. So I broke out. My friend

303
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: Sentino from Argentina just dropped me off here at the

304
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: lake and said, Todd, it's all you. I'm done. What

305
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? And I said, I have big plans.

306
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I started realigning my mind and thinking about my space

307
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: that I have on this planet and looking how I

308
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: need to utilize this little area that somebody gave me

309
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: and take care of it and utilize it to the utmost.

310
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: I never would have done that if I'm fucking hanging

311
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: out with my friend at the studio, fucking excuse my language,

312
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: all the fucking homies that a badass LBC rap, and

313
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, can you just slow down for a second.

314
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: So this that I have called multiple scross three three

315
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: years had made me slow down and just really realize

316
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: and respect everything around me. That's it. So how did

317
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: you become homeless? Moment a domestic and I find myself

318
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: in Egle Park, unhealthy, very depressing, but I'm still surviving.

319
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: Taught me one, how did you come homeless? I've been

320
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: on this street for a year. I just got kicked

321
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: out of a family for stupid reasons and moved around

322
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: so many times from Boston and came into La to

323
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: follow my dream. And we're getting there slowly. But surely

324
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: thank you. Guys. We all seem to have one thing

325
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: in common. We all seem to be able to connect

326
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: with one another and look out for each other. That's

327
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: one thing I noticed in every unhoused plot spot. If

328
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: you've gone in Lincoln Heights, you will see it. You

329
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: go to Chinatown, you go to a playblow. We all

330
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: seem to be a band together. So have you guys

331
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: have heard about the vigilante attacks or unhoused people? So

332
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: what are you guys thoughts on that? Uh, that they're

333
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: targeting the wrong people, that's not what vigilanteism is, finding

334
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: a tyrannical aspect of getting that's tyrannical and getting rid

335
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: of it through your own means. But they think that

336
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: they are doing a good shop or doing the things

337
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: that the city won't do. They're engaging in violent acts like,

338
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: for example, which throwing dog feces, setting tents on fire

339
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: up the street. Freddie got his tent on fire with

340
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: his girlfriend with a bomb. You know, another guy had

341
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: this thing set on fire. So what is your thoughts

342
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: on that? That those aren't vigilantes, those guys are terrorists.

343
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: So two and two together, So what do you think

344
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: about that vigilante attacks. Okay, I got a really good

345
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: thing from a friend of mine that I met very

346
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: first some I was here. His name is Robert. He

347
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: introduced me a guy named Paul. He used to be

348
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: on the l A. P. D. Negos talk. Did anyone

349
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: feed you any food lately? And I said, yeah, I

350
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: got the burrito. It was like a really nice burrito,

351
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: and he goes, don't fucking eat it. They're coming around

352
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: their pluting food and there's fourteen people that have died

353
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: here that are getting handed food because they're killing people

354
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: with food. So it's like, is that vigilante or is

355
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: that just psychoticness? What is that? I mean, you can't

356
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: just go to somebody that is a bit down and

357
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: out and then beel bad ass by giving a taco

358
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: that you know you're poisoned. I think that's that's that's

359
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: heavy shit right there. Of that is being unsafe, you know,

360
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: to walk down the street or to walk to even

361
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: to the restroom. You don't know what's going to happen

362
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: because you don't know who's who, and you're just trying

363
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: to be safe. You know, to keep a roof over

364
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: your head, which is a tent, but you know, you

365
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: never know because people are bringing tens down and people

366
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: are walking the street, people are getting hit in the

367
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: face of bab I got stabbed, so you know, you

368
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: never know, and you know all you want to do

369
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: is just keep yourself safe. And these people out here,

370
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, they're just trying to run amok. So what

371
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: is what are your what is your thoughts on the

372
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: vigilante attackes. I don't get hit in the face of

373
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: the pizza box because they tend to hit you for

374
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: no reason because there we're just innocent people trying to

375
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: survive here, and that there's people that are not trying

376
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: to survive. They're just doing drugs and they're messing enough

377
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: for the people that are trying to take it from

378
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: day to day. Okay. What I know also is on

379
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: the pipeline is that what scared me because when I

380
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: first heard about it, I had had some vigilanti attacks

381
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: on me and so I know it's freaking scary because

382
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: I had a couple of them. This guy came up

383
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: on me, start yelling and streaming about to attack me

384
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: and I had to arm defend myself. On several occasions

385
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: they've tried to get uh, they've been threat threats because

386
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: of the sentiment around the park and where I'm at

387
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: and the crazy belief systems and accusations. So imagine my

388
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: surprise that when I went on Facebook and I seeing

389
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: that the LAPD and police officers are in agreement with

390
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: these activities like throwing I said, people at throwing a

391
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: bb gun palace, shooting him at people's tests and things

392
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: like that. What do you think about how they communicate

393
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: the connection with the LAPD and the vigilante terrorists that

394
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't justify their actions just because they have a

395
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: branch of government attached to them. It doesn't make it

396
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: any more right than what they see as it could

397
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: be in their eyes, which is not it's kind of

398
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: idiotic to actually think something like that, but also the

399
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: actually have the government back up something like that, it's

400
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: also equally idiotic. Well, I was at one of the

401
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: city hall meetings and I heard myself that they had

402
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: the same excuses and the same justification as the vigilantes had,

403
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: And that's very disturbing, And I was like frightened because like,

404
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: are they giving these vigilantes tips on how to do

405
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: it to avoid prosecution or I they are trying to

406
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: make ways to manufacture charges to criminalize them. What is

407
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I noticed in the last three months, and

408
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I'll make it as quick as I can. My brother.

409
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Even once a certain prison released a lot of individuals

410
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: that were lifers underneath a new law here in California,

411
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: they get housing. I can't even get housing after twenty

412
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: fucking five years with multiple scrosses, and I got money,

413
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: I can't find housing, and they get housing. Then they

414
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: got bombs, they got people, they had people working for them,

415
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: and they all know who the call tails are. And

416
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: there's like a lot of the Mexican mafia just got released.

417
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: And now you walk around this park, it's feeded every

418
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: single day. It never used to be that way. Now,

419
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: those graffiti artists, because I happen to know a few

420
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: of them, they're not unhoused. These people have housed. I

421
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: know most of them, so that's but unfortunately they have

422
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: been painting that on the unhoused. These graffiti artists are

423
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: considering themselves warriors and fighting against the system and the government.

424
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: So let's not twist it. And the guys that are

425
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: prisoned from prison have a different issue themselves. They have

426
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: to be educated or have legal restrictions that they have

427
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: to follow, so they can't be at parks and things,

428
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: so they have to house them in order for the

429
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: public don't have a riot because they don't they little

430
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: Becky and Sue think a criminal is in the midst.

431
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: So what is your thoughts on the police being in

432
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: support of vigilanti attacks on unhoused people. I don't like

433
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: the police. I stay away from them as much as

434
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: I can. That's my motto. What is your thoughts on

435
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: vigilantes against what the police support. They don't care about us.

436
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: They just want us out and they just want their

437
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: quotas so they could just make their tickets so they

438
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: can make their money. They're not worried about our safety.

439
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: They should be getting people that are actually killing people,

440
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: not the people that are living on the ground. On

441
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: face ground, I certainly agree with that assessment because most

442
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: of the unhoused people that I have had the pleasure

443
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: of talking to, they seem very nice people. They're very

444
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: supportive of each other and they look out for each other,

445
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: and that's what all on the house. Also what people

446
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: in communities do, what they have a house or not.

447
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: And I just wish as our society that we come

448
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: to the term come to the table and understanding the

449
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: stop vilifying and criminalizing and dehumanizing and judging us as

450
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: we are horrible people. You can be out here too.

451
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: I am a college graduate and I'm out here because

452
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: I got sick and I got evicted. These things are happening.

453
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: They're the elderly lady that I've talked to, she's out here.

454
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: She's not a drug addict. She her rent was too expensive.

455
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: So these things are very important to understand. You have

456
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: to put the humanity back in our society and in

457
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: our city and in our neighborhoods. Again. I'm Theo Henderson

458
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: from Chinatown street Watch. I'm here in Echo Park. Thank

459
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: you for listening, and may we all again meet in

460
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: the light of understanding. Those were the voices of several

461
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: of my friends who live in Echo Park and experience

462
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: violence on a day to day basis and on a

463
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: tiptoe stand tiply because they are on house. Next I

464
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: talked to Harvey from El Pueblo, Chinatown, and he talks

465
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: about how his issues have his time over here from

466
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: ten years of being done house of the police are

467
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: harassing them. Sanitation workers LASA the city halls basically have

468
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: given license to unhoused vigilantianism to come by and throw

469
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: things and yell death threats and epithets at them without

470
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: further ado. I'm going to start off and asks Harvey

471
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: to give us some examples of the vigilanteism attacks that

472
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: he's experienced out here on the streets. Well, the ones

473
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: that we've experienced out here is people coming by here

474
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: at the weed hours of the morning and screaming or

475
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: honking their horns or skidding all over the place they're tires. Lately,

476
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of idiots that came by with

477
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: these loud mufflers that means they pop very loudly and

478
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: it sounds like a gun in a way, and it

479
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: it goes here in this area. So, yeah, we've been

480
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: getting a lot of that lately, and I don't know

481
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: why the police hasn't done anything about that. But other

482
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, we've experienced a lot of that. These

483
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: fools coming around here just bothering us really late at

484
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: night or early in the mornings just because they want to,

485
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: which brings up a good questions, Like I have been

486
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: thinking because I've been on the house and I know

487
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: that it's been a very scary experience for me. What

488
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: advice would you give to people that have just became

489
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: unhoused and with the vigilanteism uptick and the promotion of

490
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: it by the police and the city, what suggestions would

491
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: you have for them to survive out here? First thing,

492
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: if you're new to the areas that you're going to

493
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: be staying in, make sure you be friendly with the

494
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: person that's there. Because if you're by yourself and you're

495
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: going to be living next to other people who are

496
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: living out in the streets, be friendly with them because

497
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: you're going to need them one day and they're going

498
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: to be there for you just like you'll be there

499
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: for them. And another thing is that to prepare yourself.

500
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's hard to prepare a person

501
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: when somebody comes by and either throws ice at your

502
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: tent or throws BB's, you know, with the bb gun

503
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: at your tent, it's you know, it's gonna startle you

504
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: because it's gonna happen in those type of hours is

505
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: usually after midnight, but before five am, that's when we

506
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: get the idiots out here. So yeah, they again to

507
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: have to get you know, used to it and see

508
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: how you can protect yourself. I myself protect myself with

509
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: a knife and I have pepper spray very well. Exvice,

510
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: because you would need to have one thing I've learned

511
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: as well on the street as well. I was almost

512
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: attacked out in Little Tokyo and the experience was I

513
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: was sleeping at night and there were three inebriated house

514
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: white gentlemen we're talking about, to attack me while I

515
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: was sleeping, and they thought I was sleeping, And at

516
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: the time, I'm a martial artist. I had my helber

517
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: sore and I was waiting for them to make the move.

518
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: It looks like a long oversized SPASHETI. As soon as

519
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: they approached trying to attack, I pulled out the sword

520
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: and needless to say, they actually had several accidents that

521
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: they un bodily functional accidents due to my ranting and raving. Right,

522
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: So it is important as well as us as on

523
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: house community to have a very bright eyed understanding. Will

524
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: you feel that if someone came and as a vigilante

525
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: attacked you, do you think you will get helped by

526
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: the police. That's like a big question mark there, because

527
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: if when we do call the police even even when

528
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: we call the paramedics out here, they don't always rush

529
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: here like they do with regular people. Okay, they don't.

530
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: That never happens. There's always a delay, and they always

531
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: like to play it off that they couldn't find that

532
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: person even though you gave them specifics a word this

533
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: person is at. Like what happened last night, I had

534
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: to do that. There was somebody that was feeling sick,

535
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: and I told them specifically where we were at. They

536
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: ended up going and passing us up while we're screaming

537
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: at them, and they were at the other end of

538
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: the corner, at the end of the block that they

539
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: ended actually did turn around until finally I told them,

540
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: what you guys are that stupid that you didn't see

541
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: me waving at you guys? Okay that yeah, that's a problem.

542
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: But as far as the cops showing up on time, no,

543
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I've experienced that. The last time we've complained and we

544
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: called the police, they the longest that they've tooken was

545
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: two hours. Guy runs tracks with me. When I got

546
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: stabbed out there in the park, I uh the amulams

547
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: cam first, and that was after a thirty minute wait,

548
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: and I almost died, so it's this is a common

549
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: occurrence with unhoused people. We are not treated as full

550
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: citizens even though we were Americans and we have the

551
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: same constitutional rights as house people. So I want the

552
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: house community and people that want to help to understand

553
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: that these RV travails and challenges that unhouse people go through.

554
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: Thank you again for speaking with us, Harvey, Thank you,

555
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: and I hope that everybody listens to this podcast because

556
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: you know what, this is going to be happening more

557
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: often than not, and you're going to have to do

558
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: something to protect yourself. Next is Unhoused News December eighth,

559
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: there will be a memorial service for unhoused people at

560
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: boy Heights Cemetery along with others that have been not

561
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: bodies have not been claimed. And other news. Hilda Zerik,

562
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: thirty two years old was shot twice for asking for

563
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: thirty six cents for some bread, and the House News.

564
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: There was a death last week by the name of

565
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name a musician, a drummer by

566
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: the name of Rodney. In addition to that, there was

567
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: another musician, Fancy, she passed away as well. Hypertherbia deaths

568
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: are on the riots in Atlanta, resulting in twenty eight

569
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: deaths after a Atlanta shelter closes. Will this be a

570
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: trend that follows In Los Angeles, California? The cold weather

571
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: shelters are open, but will it be sufficient enough to

572
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: get all the unhoused mar in mind? Most unhoused shelters

573
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: has restrictions on bulky items. Many of the unhoused that

574
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: refuse the services are afraid of losing everything or having

575
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: it taken or stolen or taken by the city and

576
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: come back and starting over, which is one of the

577
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: major reasons why unhoused people refuse services and shelters. Not

578
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: to mention the burned out unprofessionalism or the attagonistic nature

579
00:35:48,360 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: some of the shelzter staff members have some final thoughts.

580
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Somewhere in a room sitting on their social media is

581
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: someone writing out hateful things about unhoused people. And when

582
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: they're done, they're going to send it to some groups

583
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: like nextdoor, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. They're going to find like

584
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: minded people to galvanize to push against unhoused people's civil

585
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: rights and their basic rights to humanity. And somewhere this

586
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: message will be sent to your city leaders. Who's afraid

587
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: of if they speak out against this hateful, hateful vigilanteism,

588
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: that they will lose their chances at reelection, advertising money

589
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: funds to launch other initiatives that they want that can

590
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: help line their pockets, or to may seem like that

591
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: they're tough on law and order. And somewhere there are

592
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: people that will sit in a school or sit nearby

593
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: and watch unhoused people with disgust and call for police

594
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: on them and say that they are an eyesore, that

595
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: they are threat to children. Some of them are a

596
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: City of Los Angeles employees, some of them are LAUSD employees.

597
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: Some of them are just parents that are gentifiers that

598
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: just don't have the gumption or the intelligence to realize

599
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: the humanity of unhoused people and understanding the repercussions that

600
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: can follow when you do such things. Somewhere else, in

601
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Police or any police station around the world,

602
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: they have a hard line. They have a distaste and

603
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: discuss for unhoused people, and they will push the campaign

604
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: to these business owners that they are a problem that

605
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: must be squashed. They fail law and order, they are

606
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: the problem. They don't want services, and you just give

607
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: us the rent, let us have the reins, and we

608
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: will unleash hell on these people and punch down hell

609
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: even we will even kill them to support your quality

610
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: of life, ignoring the others quality of life, like myself

611
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: and others. And also I want to point out somewhere else,

612
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: sitting at home or going to church or getting ready

613
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: for work, you will see unhoused people suffering. You will

614
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: believe yourself to be a good person. You will believe

615
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: yourself to be a taxpayer. You believe that there should

616
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: be something done about the homeless crisis or the unhoused

617
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: crisis of houselessness, and you will want to do something

618
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: about it, but you don't know what to do. This

619
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: is what this podcast is for, to let you find

620
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: out a call to action on things that you can do,

621
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: and you subscribe to our Weasley Unhoused. We will keep

622
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: you updated on our voices, not people like Steve Lopez,

623
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: Drew Mitpenski or the board of supervisors who listens to

624
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: this hateful fittrawal to get you ramped up to do

625
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: harmful things. We will tell you how the way the

626
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: best help us, because after all, we're the ones that

627
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: are surviving on the streets. The second thing I want

628
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: to point out, and my final thought is the good people.

629
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: I stated this in my first episode, and I stated again,

630
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: where are all of these good people to stand up

631
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: against the rise of hate. This is a lot of

632
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: hate that's been going on, and it's been going on

633
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: unabated for some time. I know that there are some

634
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: that will look on social media and they will shake

635
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: their head, you know, give emoticon and move on. And

636
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: then some has been more inspired now to start sharing it.

637
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: I've noticed an ft TICKNAT. Some will watch some of

638
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: the episodes, but there is still more to be done

639
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: for us as a community. Unhoused people are community members.

640
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: They are human beings. They are not an I soore.

641
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: They don't choose to be fashionable to sit there, to

642
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: be harassed by the community and the police, let known

643
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: or susceptible to early death diseases, health challenges. There are

644
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: people that have different challenges that we all have. There's

645
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: just the difference is we don't have a shelter to

646
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: put us under so that you will not see it.

647
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: We're visible, but yet we're invisible in some respects in

648
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: some people's eyes. When you listen to the inn House,

649
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: I want you to marry In mind, what have I

650
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: done to make the situation better for unhoused people as

651
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: a whole? Because I can be unhoused if I'm in

652
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: a part of a church or an organization that you

653
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: know that does good things. Ask some of the questions,

654
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: what are we doing about the unhoused in our community?

655
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: They exist here? Are we only just doing something for

656
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: Christmas and Thanksgiving? Are we doing anything worldwide or a

657
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: year round to help them? Chinatown community does not as

658
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: a whole. Individually. I have been very very blessed to help,

659
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: but it's not enough. The community as a whole has

660
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: taken the lead of Georgia executive director and not doing anything.

661
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: When I confronted the China Chinese Baptist Church, they proudly

662
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: stated they don't have anything like it, and they don't

663
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: want to have anything like this. They don't look at

664
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: an unhoused issue as a problem to be solved or

665
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: helped or become involved in. They feel it's an individual problem.

666
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, the next bowl of rice is very very

667
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: important for me and only my salve Asian in Jesus Christ.

668
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be most important than the needs of

669
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: unhoused people. I want to leave you with this thought

670
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: for the ones that have different paths in life. Doctor

671
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: King stated this very eloquently and I agree with it too.

672
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: We may all come from different ships, but we all

673
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: are in the same boat now. Capitalism, white supremacy, gentrification.

674
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: These are just the buzzwords to a recipe of a

675
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: hateful soup that is used to use the ingredients of fear, shame,

676
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: and finger whacking of poor people to keep our eye

677
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: off of the large rests of the minimum the one percent.

678
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: I want you to examine yourselves and when you look

679
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: on and listen to these podcasts in the future, to

680
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: find out where do you find yourself into this What

681
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: part do I play in perpetuating the hateful rhetoric or

682
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: the uplifting rhetoric and the uplifting actions to help on

683
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: house people find their best selves. Thank you for listening.
