Speaker 1: You're tuned into The Gangster Chronicles. Well, James McDonald, Rexie
Speaker 1: Wright Jr. And Alex Alonso on the Digital Soapbox Network
Speaker 1: material witness on an aggregated battery. I was a hang
Speaker 1: gun and they believe this might be in retaliation to
Speaker 1: her testimony. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of The gang to Chronicles wherever
Speaker 1: you may be listening to. My name is Alex Alonso
Speaker 1: from Street Street Gangs, and I'm James mcdonal. And uh,
Speaker 1: we're missing our our third co host, Reggie Wright Jr.
Speaker 1: But hopefully we might get him on the show a
Speaker 1: little bit later then yeah, he might be calling in.
Speaker 1: And I believe this is our episode forty two, so
Speaker 1: let's just get right into it. James, I got a
Speaker 1: couple of fact checks from a couple of episodes. Um
Speaker 1: first one I want to talk about is we talked
Speaker 1: about people going proper defending themselves and we mentioned, uh,
Speaker 1: this one guy from from Family Swan named Claimant Johnson.
Speaker 1: I looked him up and um in, he was charged
Speaker 1: with the murder of Tyrone Mosley and he took that
Speaker 1: to trial himself. He was his own legal counsel and
Speaker 1: that case got thrown out. He didn't he wasn't found
Speaker 1: not guilty, but he got found with almost just as
Speaker 1: good as a not guilty verdict. He had deadlock jury,
Speaker 1: which means mistrial. They could retry it if they want,
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, they chose not to retry it.
Speaker 1: And then later he got caught up in another case
Speaker 1: and was sentenced to death in that's why they ain't
Speaker 1: tried it. That's why they ain't that that's done. But
Speaker 1: you know, he's this guy has been like probably one
Speaker 1: of the best guys from the hood to defend himself
Speaker 1: because even being sentenced to death, he appealed his case
Speaker 1: and he got it appealed. So now, uh, in two
Speaker 1: thousand twelve or thirteen, they pulled him out of San
Speaker 1: Quentin prison brought him back to l A County jail
Speaker 1: to be retried on the same trial that put him
Speaker 1: on death throw. So now you know he's looking at
Speaker 1: possibly either getting a lesser sentence or if he wins
Speaker 1: the case, coming home. That's good, that's good. He probably
Speaker 1: wanted the first that that I mean looking twice man, Well,
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if anyone out there knows any
Speaker 1: dudes from l A, from any of these neighborhoods that
Speaker 1: have represented themselves and was successful because um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's not the only one that's ever done
Speaker 1: it though, And you know it's the trip. I was
Speaker 1: reading the transcript from his case and he testified on
Speaker 1: his own behalf in that trial, so you know what
Speaker 1: that The way he does it is you sit on
Speaker 1: the stand right and you answer the question. Then you
Speaker 1: get out of the stand and you stand there and
Speaker 1: you ask yourself the question. Then you go back and
Speaker 1: sit down and answer the question. So there's just back
Speaker 1: and futh. It's kind of bizarre, like you you're you're
Speaker 1: actually direct examining yourself during a trial. So he's not
Speaker 1: looking at the death penalty no more. Well, at this point,
Speaker 1: they haven't decided because they gotta retrial, and right now
Speaker 1: he've been sitting in the county jail since two thousand
Speaker 1: and twelve thirteen. Whether or not he's gonna look at
Speaker 1: these uh, well they're definitely gonna retrying. But whether they're
Speaker 1: gonna pursue the death penalty or not, who knows. But
Speaker 1: his next court date I looked at up. His next
Speaker 1: court date is uh, next week and he's been in
Speaker 1: the county jail now seven years. That would be interesting
Speaker 1: to go to that. Yeah, I was. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about checking it out when it does go to trial.
Speaker 1: But have you ever crossed paths with them that they
Speaker 1: call him big evil from from family spawting. He's about
Speaker 1: your age, man to to to to uh fight your
Speaker 1: own case and get this far with it. I mean
Speaker 1: he don't did it once. I hope he can do
Speaker 1: it again. Well, I think he could be successful because
Speaker 1: he's got time on his hands because this is an
Speaker 1: old case and when she tried to retry an old
Speaker 1: case from the nineties, you don't have the same witnesses.
Speaker 1: People's memories aren't the same, so it'll be yeah, all right. So, um,
Speaker 1: another fact check. We were talking about marijuana use with
Speaker 1: Adam twenty two last week and he was saying that
Speaker 1: maybe it's the reason why he can't get his girl pregnant.
Speaker 1: His girl is pregnant. Oh, she is pregnant. She is pregnant. Well,
Speaker 1: I looked up whether or not marijuana could have an
Speaker 1: impact on a male sperm, and it actually absolutely has
Speaker 1: an impact. Just about every health research, all the science
Speaker 1: on marijuana and pregnancy says that it doesn't have a
Speaker 1: negative impact on your ability to get a woman pregnant.
Speaker 1: There's actually one study that says that marijuana could alter
Speaker 1: the genetic profile of male sperm. You probably do. I
Speaker 1: ain't got a word about that. I don't smoke weed,
Speaker 1: and I ain't trying to annimal kids. But imagine all
Speaker 1: the people out there that are impregnating women while they
Speaker 1: hide as a kite on multiple blunts. It's it's impacting.
Speaker 1: That's been from the beginning of the town. Nobody, I
Speaker 1: don't something. What about alcohol? Alcohol? Do alcohol? Oh, we
Speaker 1: absolutely know that alcohol has an impact. They got a
Speaker 1: thing called a fetal alcohol syndrome. You know, Well, it
Speaker 1: impacts women that drink while they're pregnant. That's obvious. Um,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you're asking, does alcohol have
Speaker 1: an impact on the male sperm exactly? Well, that's a
Speaker 1: great question, um, But definitely marijuana does. A couple of
Speaker 1: my kids was born a boy, some some some hennessy
Speaker 1: and why she gets you right? Well, I saw an
Speaker 1: old picture of my mom when she was about two
Speaker 1: or three months pregnant with me, and she had a
Speaker 1: cigarette in her hand. Everything is so different from back
Speaker 1: then to now. The pollution and everything, folks, So you
Speaker 1: never know what what stopped you from having kids. The
Speaker 1: water we're drinking now, and so you never know. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get your girl pregnant and you haven't,
Speaker 1: you haven't had any success out there, and um, you
Speaker 1: smoke a lot of weed. You might want to do
Speaker 1: some research and rethink that if you're trying to get
Speaker 1: your girl pregnant. And uh, the last thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention is the proliferation of skate parks in South
Speaker 1: l A. Now. I know when I was young and
Speaker 1: probably um, I don't know if you ever paid attention
Speaker 1: to this, but there were no places from kids skateboard,
Speaker 1: not at all. And you know, I just did a
Speaker 1: quick search and there are at least a half a
Speaker 1: dozen parks in Los Angeles south of Los Angeles, in
Speaker 1: the hood where brothers an sistors can grab their board
Speaker 1: and go to the skate park. And there's actually a
Speaker 1: skateboard park in Compton over at uh Wilson Park. You
Speaker 1: ever played at Wilson Park when you was a kid.
Speaker 1: Never It's a little park though, it's a tiny little park.
Speaker 1: But that's on the other side of rosecrans. Never ever,
Speaker 1: never ever thought about picking up a skateboarding going skateing,
Speaker 1: skateboarding and and doing tricks and all that other ship.
Speaker 1: What about just going to Wilson Park. No, but you
Speaker 1: guys had looters, looters had everything. When every kid the gym,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to gym and you know, that's
Speaker 1: when everybody was acting about they were playing basketball and
Speaker 1: all that. But other than that, no, no, all right.
Speaker 1: There's also an amazing skate park at Gilbert Lindsay Park
Speaker 1: that's the home of the fur trade against the crips.
Speaker 1: And there's um, there's another one at Jim Gilliam which
Speaker 1: is uh the home of the Black Pea Stones. And
Speaker 1: there's just there's just quite a few skate parks all
Speaker 1: over South l A. Which I think is a great thing, man,
Speaker 1: I mean a great thing. They had a park there
Speaker 1: or a great thing, a great thing for the kids
Speaker 1: to go and skate. I think it's a great place
Speaker 1: for the kids to go on skate because in order
Speaker 1: to get good at skateboarding, in order to turn pro,
Speaker 1: you gotta learn how to do those tricks, and those
Speaker 1: skate parks make it easier because they got the rails,
Speaker 1: they got the ramps, they got all of the things
Speaker 1: where kids can practice tricks, where in the seventies and
Speaker 1: eighties it was only white kids that were able to
Speaker 1: do all those tricks. But look at the area where
Speaker 1: these skateboard parks is. Is these kids actually going out there?
Speaker 1: I know I passed by one in Long Beach, um
Speaker 1: is over there? I think, what is that ocean uh
Speaker 1: right where i'd go fishing all to the right. Um,
Speaker 1: I see a lot of kids at that park with
Speaker 1: their skateboards. But I don't, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's too many kids going to the to the parks
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood on the skateboards. Well, I guess each
Speaker 1: neighborhood is different. I know the one that uh at
Speaker 1: U Ranchos Rancho Santega Park over there by the Jungles.
Speaker 1: Every time I go over there with my two sons,
Speaker 1: is at least four or five kids in there? Um
Speaker 1: four's I know. I mean I don't go there all
Speaker 1: the time. Gilbert Lindsay Park. Um. I've done a few
Speaker 1: interviews there with some four trays, and it really kind
Speaker 1: of messed up my interviews because I got these guys
Speaker 1: on camera. I got a mike and you just hear
Speaker 1: kids in the background skating in the middle of the interview.
Speaker 1: Um so no, I think they're getting used. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like anything else. It's not you know, you
Speaker 1: got a basketball court in the skate park you go to,
Speaker 1: you see you might see three or four kids on
Speaker 1: the basketball court at any given day, you know. But
Speaker 1: it's it's allowing people of color to get good at
Speaker 1: a sport that they were never able to get good
Speaker 1: at before. And there was a couple of brothers from
Speaker 1: there was a guy from Long Beach that end up
Speaker 1: having a reality show. Um and he had he turned
Speaker 1: pro and there's all these kids. If you watch X Games, now,
Speaker 1: X Games is not just dominated by white folks. You
Speaker 1: got people of black and browns. And oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's like not our generation. But if you had I
Speaker 1: bet you one of your grandkids, you know, when he
Speaker 1: comes with age, you put a skateboard. Well, you get
Speaker 1: him a skateboard, he's gonna he's gonna want to use it.
Speaker 1: He pushing the skateboard now, but I'm scarting riding the
Speaker 1: damn thing. Oh come on, man, you gotta let them,
Speaker 1: you know, do what they do. One thing about skateboarding,
Speaker 1: you gotta be fearless. You can't be you know, timid.
Speaker 1: You can't be hesitant or reluctant. You gotta just go
Speaker 1: out there and just do it. That's the same thing
Speaker 1: with a bike of motorcycle. All these toys they got
Speaker 1: them scooters that they got the motors on them. Now, man,
Speaker 1: these kids running and the ship kids taking that ship
Speaker 1: from you. You're getting beat up over it. All kind
Speaker 1: of ship is going down. But I ain't never been
Speaker 1: in the skateboard man, It's not my cup of tea,
Speaker 1: all right. On a previous episode, we talked about we
Speaker 1: talked about Lee Baca, the sheriff that got charged with
Speaker 1: all those other deputies for hiding an inmate in the
Speaker 1: l A County jail because he was exposing abuse is
Speaker 1: and everybody was found guilty or pled guilty. He the
Speaker 1: only one that tried to fight his appeal, and he
Speaker 1: took it all the way to the United States Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: and they told him get out of here. Man with
Speaker 1: this appeal, don't do your time. He was found guilty.
Speaker 1: They didn't even want to listen to the case. How
Speaker 1: much time did he get that, gave him three years,
Speaker 1: and he's got to turn himself in either the end
Speaker 1: of this month at the beginning of next month. And
Speaker 1: but he let me ask you this, James, he's in
Speaker 1: his seventies. He's now saying he's suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Speaker 1: Should should he get a pass or just like any
Speaker 1: other person almost eight years old? Should he do his time?
Speaker 1: When you're he was ninety, he did the crime, you
Speaker 1: should do the time. He wasn't worried about none of
Speaker 1: his health problems when he was doing what he was doing.
Speaker 1: So hell no, you just like us at that point
Speaker 1: when when you committed crime, especially anybody of authority, you're
Speaker 1: a police officer, you committed crime, you should be and
Speaker 1: treated just like me. That don't make you better than
Speaker 1: me because you are getting lesser sentenced because you was
Speaker 1: a police officer. That should be worship You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think three years is actually like a
Speaker 1: slap on the wrist for for what he was doing.
Speaker 1: I mean that is like large scale corruption, hiding inmates
Speaker 1: from the system that the federal government we're trying to
Speaker 1: they were trying to communicate with kidnapping. That's basically kidnapping. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna give us five for kidnapping, that's basically kidnapping.
Speaker 1: And then plus, really, what kind of pisces me off
Speaker 1: about the whole thing is eighteen of the deputies went
Speaker 1: to prison, and most of those deputies got more time
Speaker 1: than three years. Some of them got eight, some got five,
Speaker 1: some got six. But you got the ringleader of the
Speaker 1: whole thing, he only get three, he gets three, he
Speaker 1: only gets three. But I remember Reggie said something, he said,
Speaker 1: Lee Bak is not really the head of the l
Speaker 1: A County sheriff Department. He said his underboss, which was
Speaker 1: a Japanese guy named Paul Tanaka. He said, Paul Tanaka
Speaker 1: was running the Sheriff's not not Lie Baka. But you
Speaker 1: know Paul Tanaka went to prison too. So I think
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You're the head, you're the leader. How
Speaker 1: do the people that did what you told him to
Speaker 1: do get more time than you get? But that's just
Speaker 1: the system, man. I think he should have got the
Speaker 1: most time because he didn't want planning and putting the
Speaker 1: ship out there like that. He should have he should
Speaker 1: have gotten more than three years. But because of his age.
Speaker 1: They slapped him moment Ridge. He's seventy seven years old.
Speaker 1: James don't matter. Yeah, don't matter. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: disappointment because I actually met this guy a few times.
Speaker 1: I actually interviewed him. I never posted it, and he
Speaker 1: really seemed like a dude that cared about the community.
Speaker 1: He understood that there was over policing of gangs, he
Speaker 1: understood that gangs aren't as bad as what what other
Speaker 1: cops make him out to be. And then he it's
Speaker 1: caught up in this scandal. So I believe why I
Speaker 1: listen to him that I was just disappointed because most
Speaker 1: cops don't take that position. I mean, he would publicly
Speaker 1: say things that you're like, Yeah, it's nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: the police officer getting up there and saying a lot
Speaker 1: of ship, but is he living by that? Is that?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just conversation. Then he turned up a
Speaker 1: year later killing people. We didn't find out he didn't
Speaker 1: killed three people. Not saying him, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: they just got a different agenda. And if they can
Speaker 1: get away with just say things, if I was a
Speaker 1: police officer, if I'm a police officer and I got
Speaker 1: found guilty, of a crime. I should be treated worser
Speaker 1: than a streetcat. And the reason why I say that
Speaker 1: because you are here to serve and protect me. But
Speaker 1: then you out here and now you've caught a case
Speaker 1: I would have to prove. I would use them as examples.
Speaker 1: How can you go to just say, going to the military,
Speaker 1: you come on and kill somebody, they're gon tell you
Speaker 1: you're distrace to the to the flag. You're you, you're distrace.
Speaker 1: They are distraction to their badge. And if they got
Speaker 1: found guilty, they should be thrown under something. Yeah, definitely
Speaker 1: three more years. But I honestly we're just saying that,
Speaker 1: like they swore an oath to to be to protect
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I didn't. I'm just out there doing
Speaker 1: what I do. You know, we out there hurting people,
Speaker 1: we out there doing wrong, We get caught, we go
Speaker 1: to jail. We're in jail. They give you forty years
Speaker 1: for one body, a police officer gets five years, or
Speaker 1: get set free for that body. That's like crazy, that's cold,
Speaker 1: that's wrong. Yeah, this this um lie baka situation stems
Speaker 1: from a two thousand and eleven investigation. I can't believe
Speaker 1: here we are nine years later and uh it's finally
Speaker 1: finally finished. Uh. Ten other sheriff deputies have already went
Speaker 1: to prison. Half of them have already been released. That's
Speaker 1: how long this case has been dragging through the court system.
Speaker 1: Lee Baca's got to do us three years. Paul Tanaka
Speaker 1: should be getting out soon. He turned himself in to
Speaker 1: do his I think four or five years, a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. Um, so he probably would have been
Speaker 1: better off just turn himself in because he'd becoming home already.
Speaker 1: So do they lose their pension and all that ship? Nah,
Speaker 1: Unfortunately a lot of these cops are able to keep
Speaker 1: all of their their pension, all of their benefits. It's
Speaker 1: got to be something like super you know, a convission.
Speaker 1: Convission is a conviction, Guilty is guilty, prison is prison.
Speaker 1: You're locked up. Why should you get paid and keep
Speaker 1: that money? You could have been a dirty, dirty cap
Speaker 1: for the longest and just got caught on this. I
Speaker 1: think we mentioned that, And what did Reggie say? Like
Speaker 1: he was completely against taking away any benefits. And I
Speaker 1: argued with Reggie right now in today on that one.
Speaker 1: I give it to him? Why I give it to him? Well,
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree that something that the punishment should
Speaker 1: include some of the benefits that you have as a
Speaker 1: as a deputy, because you shouldn't have no been a pitch.
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't spoil the badge. You didn't, you
Speaker 1: didn't commit you I did committing crimes? Why your ship going?
Speaker 1: So what? Why do? Why? Why should he deserve it?
Speaker 1: That's wrong? Yes, Well, well they're gonna say that this
Speaker 1: guy has been on the force. I've been I've been
Speaker 1: in the hood over thirty some years, and when I
Speaker 1: go to jail, or any man on the street go
Speaker 1: to jail, he stripped of everything. He stripped of everything.
Speaker 1: So what makes them different. I think he's got to
Speaker 1: like commit murder or something in order to lose. Well,
Speaker 1: if if I should have been a cop, then I
Speaker 1: should have been a cop because I'd have been doing
Speaker 1: everything I can do. Plus they're able to get money
Speaker 1: from the Police Office Association to defend themselves. I feel
Speaker 1: about that. That's that's sad. Well, well, here's the thing. Technically,
Speaker 1: you're innocent until proven guilty, so you're gonna get the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt from the officers association to get
Speaker 1: the money for your defense. If you're a good copy.
Speaker 1: You should never even have to worry about being on
Speaker 1: the other side of the law. You aren't. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to be on the right side of law. That's what
Speaker 1: you signed up for. You should never have to cross
Speaker 1: defence across that line to be uh on trial. Once
Speaker 1: you committed that crime, all vessels off. Everything is over
Speaker 1: close the folder. And if you get found out guilty,
Speaker 1: then that might be something different. You get your pension back,
Speaker 1: you should start going, you get your job back. No,
Speaker 1: if you get found guilty and go to prison, you
Speaker 1: can sit in prison and your pension just keep coming.
Speaker 1: Your money is still coming. Yeah, that then you're not guilty.
Speaker 1: That's double standard. O. J. Simpton. Simpson got found not
Speaker 1: guilty of murder, but then they go over here in
Speaker 1: this court and take everything he had. That's double jeopardy. Man.
Speaker 1: Well they did it in a civil court, but it
Speaker 1: still don't matter. Civil whatever, it don't matter. It's double jeopardy.
Speaker 1: But it only applies to those who they wanted to
Speaker 1: apply to. Well, they're gonna say it's not double jeopardy
Speaker 1: because he wasn't found guilty of any murder. He was
Speaker 1: found uh ressivilly responsible for the death which is different
Speaker 1: from me. How can't they be found? And this is
Speaker 1: what everybody keeps saying, How then are you gonna be found,
Speaker 1: uh anything? Of the death. And he got found not
Speaker 1: guilty for killing him, That means he ain't there, he
Speaker 1: ain't the one who did it. Not guilty is I'm innocent?
Speaker 1: So how can you send me the civil court and
Speaker 1: I lose? And and here you're gonna tell me I
Speaker 1: killed him, but over here I didn't. Well, So what
Speaker 1: you're saying is if if you went in criminal court,
Speaker 1: that should be the end of it. That should be it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how can you come back and say I'm responsible for murdered.
Speaker 1: I got found not guilty on that I that I
Speaker 1: had my hand and something to do with these two
Speaker 1: people getting killed? You know, because I think in the
Speaker 1: criminal court, when you when you found not guilty, that
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean you didn't do it. Why not I
Speaker 1: got found not guilty. I got twelve people in this
Speaker 1: in that box to say he didn't do it. Well,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that is that rich Alright, people
Speaker 1: out there, we just gotta we just gotta call from
Speaker 1: from Reggie Wright Jr. Calling from at Water right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's your brother? How you doing. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit louder so we can hear you. Okay.
Speaker 1: I gotta some people around, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: be talking to That's what's going on with y'all. What's
Speaker 1: up with Alison James? Happy New Year to you. I
Speaker 1: haven't talked to you on the wild Man. I haven't
Speaker 1: talked to you, officer, and so I think you said
Speaker 1: take six nine, we're gonna get no time when I
Speaker 1: kept telling you he's gonna get some time. Yeah, Well
Speaker 1: two years ain't nothing compared to what he was looking at.
Speaker 1: Takashi six nine is gonna get out of prison in
Speaker 1: a few months, boy, will you be? He got sent
Speaker 1: this already got sent twenty four months, okay, twenty four
Speaker 1: months with with already fifteen sixteen months time served, so
Speaker 1: that leaves him about five or six months. He and
Speaker 1: I should be touching streets at the same time. You'll
Speaker 1: probably getting out August. I'll be getting out from time
Speaker 1: in September. Well, I'll be going through a halfway off
Speaker 1: in September. Well, I calculated July will be his sir,
Speaker 1: So he might beat you. He might beat you. He
Speaker 1: might beat you home rich. So what wa wait, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna asking, No, what was your what was your reaction
Speaker 1: when you heard that he only got twenty four months? No,
Speaker 1: I was surprised of that though. Surprise, but let's call
Speaker 1: That's how I said. Let's all you're up until that day.
Speaker 1: We're saying he wasn't gonna get u. He will be
Speaker 1: getting released on in December, but that this will show
Speaker 1: you the only reason we had talked about it because
Speaker 1: I was just trying to think, show people how you
Speaker 1: can make whatever deal you want with your attorney and
Speaker 1: all of that. They're steal up to the federal judges,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what has brought us up to
Speaker 1: the conversation. Well, because they still gotta keep some type
Speaker 1: of credibility to the to the courts. We were knowing
Speaker 1: you to come home, not him, So he really don't
Speaker 1: matter right now. We was we was in the conversation
Speaker 1: about the police and this is this is this is
Speaker 1: a conversation me and you. I think we had an
Speaker 1: argument about or we got a lied with each other
Speaker 1: about um, the difference between police officers and civilians getting
Speaker 1: they get this time, we get this time, and and
Speaker 1: the question was what I'm saying, why why should a
Speaker 1: police officer, uh get five years on the murder and
Speaker 1: I get forty five years. That's it's sad. It's wrong
Speaker 1: generally because of the intent is where when I think
Speaker 1: comes in place, I mean, until we could prove that
Speaker 1: what they wants KKK and all of that, and it's
Speaker 1: outright going out killing people and you know, jumping in
Speaker 1: the car and saying I'm gonna kill me somebody today,
Speaker 1: but usually win a game member somebody uh decided to
Speaker 1: do it. They they already had that intent. So they
Speaker 1: was like they got high and got drunk in the
Speaker 1: sherm or some angel does or whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it, where daddy and said, you do about to
Speaker 1: go kill for me because they just killed my brother
Speaker 1: or they just killed my homie and all of that,
Speaker 1: and usually within a cop situation, and they just funked
Speaker 1: up black of training, being scary or whatever. Murderous murder right,
Speaker 1: murderous murder right, regardless of how you did it. You
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you ain't got proper training or whatever,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be on the job. You shouldn't be doing
Speaker 1: what you're doing. But they put you out there, you
Speaker 1: commit a murder and they feel that there's something here
Speaker 1: to convict you of murder or charge of police officer.
Speaker 1: Oh this wasn't right, So you've been indicted for murder.
Speaker 1: Me yea, I know I want to kill them motherfucker
Speaker 1: because he had on a different color, or he he
Speaker 1: beat my sister up or something. That some of the
Speaker 1: murder is murder. I'm dead, they're dead now. Murder is
Speaker 1: not murder. But that that right there is a big thing.
Speaker 1: Your intentions is a big, big difference and the way
Speaker 1: we're supposed to look at that, in my opinion, so
Speaker 1: you gotta prove that. You gotta prove the intent was
Speaker 1: there right now. Like I said, if if I told
Speaker 1: my wife, man, I'm about to go home, I'm about
Speaker 1: to go to work today and kill me something because
Speaker 1: kill me in Mexican or a white boy or whatever.
Speaker 1: If I kill my like dad, and then you can
Speaker 1: prove that and he knew that was interesting. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. They should book up his ass, you know,
Speaker 1: but if um, you know, I just fucked up for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and and I don't believe, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't believe that you're supposed to do life for all
Speaker 1: this time that they're giving out people. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: because time, man, I'm telling he just changes people lives. Man,
Speaker 1: this is just dudes and there they've been lockdown for

Speaker 1: the end to the ship doing a little Dudes, don't
Speaker 1: need to depend and all that. You just gotta tell
Speaker 1: the truth and not be on probation of her all anymore.

Speaker 1: this something like that before. Man, I never said nothing
Speaker 1: of the sort about got you like like I said,
Speaker 1: like I even said, I said if Alex or something
Speaker 1: like that, because you know nothing about me, you know,
Speaker 1: don't be honest. Me and Alexis met each other officially
Speaker 1: until about what ten eleven months ago. But I'm sure
Speaker 1: we have different opinions, and you have a different opinion
Speaker 1: of me now or don't believe any of that stuff
Speaker 1: at least I hope. Um. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to. So what you're doing, you're giving out passes now, man? Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean no. I laughed when I heard it. I said, hey, ship,
Speaker 1: I said, what was it that I said? My people
Speaker 1: on the Monday? Because I was working different parts of
Speaker 1: Delity County, so I could have had him working. I
Speaker 1: could have had him come anywhere. Nobody had come. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't think I know any confident, any comfi confidence
Speaker 1: anymore all over some Spanish speaking different any of them
Speaker 1: put it that way, may be disrespecting you, Reggie. I
Speaker 1: don't recall saying anything about you. I mean, I'm actually unclear.
Speaker 1: What what is it exactly that I said you were
Speaker 1: a part of? Uh? They said that that let's call
Speaker 1: let's from James, No this food? They went women, Anderson
Speaker 1: is the one to put that out. Why why would
Speaker 1: I be calling aga jail If the jail the snitch
Speaker 1: inform a known snitch and informant, I would call him
Speaker 1: and tell him, hey, I need people to lure Shield
Speaker 1: over the conference or something that could happen to him. Right.
Speaker 1: I got the actual video that this guy was talking
Speaker 1: like that from jail Okay, when we heard that. But
Speaker 1: they say, they say Alex is the one that said
Speaker 1: it as well. And I couldn't believe that. I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're coming from. Okay, just like
Speaker 1: they found this video Alex due, they got a video
Speaker 1: of Alex saying that that's what they say, that's what John,
Speaker 1: my boy John from Bomb First to swearing that he
Speaker 1: saw it and send it over. And then I said,
Speaker 1: but I'll ask Alex and I and and and like
Speaker 1: I said, even if this, if Alex say something like that,
Speaker 1: uh um, you know in two thousand and fourteen or
Speaker 1: two thousands of teen seen whatever I'm saying, I hope
Speaker 1: he don't feel that way once he and I met
Speaker 1: him time. And that's my only question. That's all I said.
Speaker 1: On First Yeah, I listened to that. I listened to
Speaker 1: it on Bomb Person. I was like, damn, Reggie giving
Speaker 1: out passes. Reggie ain't mad. He he just let it go.
Speaker 1: And if normally when somebody talk about Reggie, Reggie going
Speaker 1: you're gonna go and try to go at him. He
Speaker 1: want to brange something, to say something. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be a fight. So what Norm did and what I did,
Speaker 1: I think Brian founded and just just shurely ain't ain't Alex.
Speaker 1: Not not this Alex. Yeah, we know about the one women.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, when I would go on the street,
Speaker 1: I saw that that particular video and I laughed because,
Speaker 1: like I said, you got this non informant known snitch
Speaker 1: that I'm calling from NGO actually to do stuff. But
Speaker 1: people always call this non formant in the stitch to
Speaker 1: get stuff done on the streets. And then did it
Speaker 1: presents us the nineties? Yeah? Yeah, So took for him
Speaker 1: to know that offhand and all of the other ship.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, people chalk everything. Everything is trying
Speaker 1: to work the white boys to get some money to
Speaker 1: go on the books and stuff like that, trying to
Speaker 1: work on He just doesn't you know, well, I mean
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good business because you know, you
Speaker 1: got these cats out here right now today, Reggie offering
Speaker 1: thirty thirty thousand and twenty thousand for you to look
Speaker 1: at the ship that they have and and and and
Speaker 1: speak on it. You know, people are spending a lot
Speaker 1: of money. You know, You've got people doing documentaries, you know,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to talk to you about that. People
Speaker 1: got at about the documentary and and you know they
Speaker 1: paying all this money instead of just letting this situation die.
Speaker 1: Tupac new Mark gon uh congratulations, the biggest You might
Speaker 1: not like this, but they just inducted him in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and rock and Roll Biggie Smalls so
Speaker 1: he was her make Tupac. Now, I don't think he
Speaker 1: had long enough records, two albums. I don't think he
Speaker 1: should be in it. I think he only did it
Speaker 1: because because of how he died the biggest small ship,
Speaker 1: that being a rock and roll Hall of Fame with
Speaker 1: two albums. You you sound like Freddie Freddie. Uh time round,
Speaker 1: Jackson man, get a man credit. The man was good.
Speaker 1: Get a man good. But that's just like uh, um,
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. I don't put Magic Johnson. That's one of
Speaker 1: the best basketball player of all time because of his playing.
Speaker 1: Um Jim Brown. Jim Brown is another one. We give
Speaker 1: Jim Brown all of the credits and all of that.
Speaker 1: He played eight years. We we we we gotta you gotta,
Speaker 1: you gotta put in time like the doing is putting
Speaker 1: in in my opinion, to be um inducted, to be
Speaker 1: considered one of the best. If that's the case. Bo
Speaker 1: Jackson was considered the best football player of all times.
Speaker 1: Do we ever talk about both Jackson? Well, bo Jackson
Speaker 1: didn't last that long though, now, but I think Jim
Speaker 1: Brown is definitely deserved. I think he lasted the nine seasons.
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson only played five seasons. But Jim Brown is
Speaker 1: definitely deserving the best. I believe I'll be on the field,
Speaker 1: you know. It was. My point is, Biggie did two albums,
Speaker 1: two albums, and we want to put him with all
Speaker 1: of these these people that have all the Biggie Biggie. No,
Speaker 1: Biggie is not shouldn't be in hall, in the rock
Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame. Now, Biggie deserves it. Those
Speaker 1: those are two amazing albums, not just two albums off.
Speaker 1: Those albums were quality albums. And most people that you're
Speaker 1: gonna put in the Hall of Fame, they only probably
Speaker 1: got one or two good albums. They're at they're about
Speaker 1: to cut me off. Oh, I mean, I thought we
Speaker 1: had thirty minutes. No, I can I have to call
Speaker 1: you back and there they ain't argue with you. Long job,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to be choking man by problem. I
Speaker 1: love your dad, app Man, Say what's up? Say what's
Speaker 1: up to lie Bako? If he comes in and it
Speaker 1: comes to your camp, Say what's up to lie Bako?
Speaker 1: If he touched down at your camp? Now are you
Speaker 1: going to I'm sure you're going to Colorado? If he's
Speaker 1: one up in Colorado when they stay in the motail
Speaker 1: and they go and work on three ways and all
Speaker 1: that bulls because he turned himself in any day. Now,
Speaker 1: all right, well, let me know where you're at. Hopefully
Speaker 1: I can talk to you for the next two days
Speaker 1: and then we have to tell me where next Wednesday
Speaker 1: somewhere like this. But alrighty, that was Reggie Wright Jr.
Speaker 1: And uh Man, it's been a minute since he called in,
Speaker 1: James Man, I just missied that third part Reggie, his conversation,
Speaker 1: his input on a certain ship. Because I'll be ready
Speaker 1: to get into it with you with this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have nothing against Biggie. I don't have nothing
Speaker 1: against Tupac, but you know, both of those guys was
Speaker 1: good to me. Whether y'all call him great or have
Speaker 1: a loan that they was in it, the impact that
Speaker 1: both of them gave or had, I mean, where should
Speaker 1: they be. I think Biggie was more than good. I
Speaker 1: think he was one of the greatest rappers of his
Speaker 1: pature to Tupac too, but Tupac put out more than
Speaker 1: two albums, but they were good. It don't matter. I
Speaker 1: know what Reggie's trying to say. Reggie saying, look, Pop
Speaker 1: put out like five six albums, even put that double
Speaker 1: one out, and Biggie only put out two. But he
Speaker 1: put out two amazing albums, two albums that we still
Speaker 1: listen to this day, that has stood the test of time.
Speaker 1: They play that, they play any Biggie song in the club,
Speaker 1: even the kids that weren't even born when he came
Speaker 1: out him. So he's deserving of being in any sort
Speaker 1: of music hall of fame that he's in. Um Man,
Speaker 1: Reggie could be a hater sometimes, uh. I love the argument,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little confused on this issue of me
Speaker 1: saying that Reggie has something to do with to TAM's
Speaker 1: or something whatever. This guy is, this guy right here,
Speaker 1: I want am I in the video if you want
Speaker 1: to hear no to do what to do is saying,
Speaker 1: and basically, I guess I don't think it was a rebud,
Speaker 1: but you pretty much saying the same thing. This is
Speaker 1: what I'm gathering. So when we got this today, this
Speaker 1: this Brian pulled this up because ain't nobody ever heard it?
Speaker 1: So when he pulled it up, Okay, that's not Alex,
Speaker 1: that's this cat. So Reggie saying, oh I heard this before.
Speaker 1: But Alex said the same thing too, which John got
Speaker 1: supposed to have a video al right what he just said, Well,
Speaker 1: I have you definitely have to John. I'm gonna definitely
Speaker 1: listen to it. But I did do one interview about
Speaker 1: Sugar at the TAMS. I did the interview for for
Speaker 1: Derris Darris's YouTube channel, the actor that was trying to
Speaker 1: play Tupac, And I don't even recall if I even
Speaker 1: said Reggie's name in that interview. I don't even know
Speaker 1: Reggie when in two thousand and fifteen, So I'm a
Speaker 1: little confused on that. But I'm gonna definitely, uh take
Speaker 1: a listen to it, and let's see if I could
Speaker 1: clarify the only thing that I would say about Reggie
Speaker 1: nothing to do with what should but my only criticism
Speaker 1: was he had right Way security in Vegas the night
Speaker 1: Pot got killed, and he probably don't want to hear it,
Speaker 1: but the reality is Pot got killed on his watch,
Speaker 1: and they didn't. Park got killed on our watch. Reggie
Speaker 1: had two people there when Tupac had all of us did. Well,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. You got right Way security. You got
Speaker 1: the homies, and Parks still got killed. Everybody dropped the ball,
Speaker 1: but Tupac didn't get killed walking by itself or get
Speaker 1: jumped and stumped out. Tupac got killed by drive by.
Speaker 1: You know, something that's normal and just some comfany that
Speaker 1: gets brun into Las Vegas. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: How they get down and and Chill could have died
Speaker 1: that night. I'm sorry to say Tupac lost his life,
Speaker 1: but I mean that was just something that that was
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Right way. Security wasn't walking alongside of the
Speaker 1: car to prevent No, I don't think you could prevent it.
Speaker 1: But the fact that they dumped, drove off and never
Speaker 1: got caught, I mean that ain't able to go down
Speaker 1: that that way when you got a security present. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you like this, everybody is to blame, And
Speaker 1: I say, everybody got their hand in it. Uh Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Police Department. Name of time you ever went to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and you rode up uh Las Vegas Boulevard
Speaker 1: on a fight night, jam packed? How anybody get away?
Speaker 1: You got more bicycle cops out there than the law allowed.
Speaker 1: And then you got police cards posted on certain of
Speaker 1: the major streets Tropic Canada. You know, Sahara you got
Speaker 1: you got them posted going all the way down the
Speaker 1: main I don't want to get away, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If they're talking like that, everybody is to blame,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, I mean, everybody don't
Speaker 1: want to take credit for that. Everybody want to point
Speaker 1: the finger and give it to somebody else so they
Speaker 1: can feel better. But no, everybody is to blame for it.
Speaker 1: Everybody dropped the ball. But I would be the only
Speaker 1: thing I would say. You know what's really crazy? Ever
Speaker 1: since I've been posting these Reggie Wright Junior videos on
Speaker 1: my platform, people in the comments be saying some crazy
Speaker 1: things about how Reggie you know, Reggie set Pop up,
Speaker 1: you know, Reggie got pop killed. And I'm like, is
Speaker 1: this I thought we've already figured out everybody that was
Speaker 1: responsible in POC's death, and his name keeps getting dragged,
Speaker 1: and not as someone that dropped the ball, but as
Speaker 1: someone that was a part of it. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this everybody. Everybody has the right to their own opinion, everybody.
Speaker 1: And some of these people are only twenty five years old.
Speaker 1: You weren't even there, You weren't even born in so
Speaker 1: people here what what this person said and that person said,
Speaker 1: and then they tried to put it together. Now you
Speaker 1: got a basket for a conspiracy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows who what you call him? With Park? Everybody
Speaker 1: saw the video with Tupac taking off on the Lando
Speaker 1: Orlando was a gangster. Lando said, I ain't going home
Speaker 1: without getting his cat. He did that. He's dead. Now
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter. How did you How would why would
Speaker 1: Reggie want to kill And I'm not taking up a Reggie,
Speaker 1: but why would you kill your main artist? What the
Speaker 1: hell are you gonna get out of that? Everybody stopped
Speaker 1: eating if Tupac did, that's know. In fact, look what
Speaker 1: happened to death Row Death Roke fell apart at the Tupac.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense to drag Reggie's name into the homicide,
Speaker 1: if not even that. At the beginning of it, they said,
Speaker 1: she'll have something to do with killing Tupac. Why would
Speaker 1: I drive with you in the car and take a
Speaker 1: chance on you shooting up my car with me and
Speaker 1: with him sitting next to me. Well, I understanding. In
Speaker 1: no one really knows what's going on, but we're in
Speaker 1: twenty now. If you think should kill pop and if
Speaker 1: you think Reggie Wright killed pop in, I'm sorry. Even
Speaker 1: though everyone's entitled to their opinion, that's an opinion that
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not gonna respect No, No, I don't.
Speaker 1: Reggie couldn't and what let me take that back. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna say couldn't. I don't think he be responsible
Speaker 1: or think like that. You you would have to sit
Speaker 1: back and say, we're gonna get the money, more money.
Speaker 1: If he did, let me stop, because they're gonna start off.
Speaker 1: See you made a point. Now, I don't know he God,
Speaker 1: they It didn't work that way, man. You know, people
Speaker 1: get involved in situations and put themselves in situations. Some
Speaker 1: situations you can't get yourself out of. This would happen
Speaker 1: with pot you know what I'm saying, showing his loyalty
Speaker 1: to to to others. You know what I'm saying, that
Speaker 1: that's his demise, showing that he's with the business. He
Speaker 1: should have never stepped into that situation. First, He shouldn't
Speaker 1: have never You don't know Orlando, you never met Orlando.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do that. This is what you
Speaker 1: got gang members on your payroll for. And if he'd
Speaker 1: let that be, that that situation should with have spilled
Speaker 1: all the way back in Compton, which is own already,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So he didn't have to
Speaker 1: do that. Let the homies take care of that. Let
Speaker 1: the homies go over there in jump Lando, there's a
Speaker 1: blood and cryptan. So if you're banging, that's what it's
Speaker 1: supposed to been. It ain't. It ain't about no artists
Speaker 1: taken off on gang members. And that's that's where Lando
Speaker 1: come here. Nigga. Fuck that. You ain't even to step
Speaker 1: from my gangster like that two pocket nine. And he
Speaker 1: had no choice to do what he did. And you
Speaker 1: know that little brother died the way he lived. Well,
Speaker 1: all you conspiracy theorists, you live in the comments, because
Speaker 1: that's that's all it is. It's just comments. And here
Speaker 1: we are in this homicide has been broken down so
Speaker 1: many times, and it's clear, it's simple and clear who
Speaker 1: was involved, why it happened, and we got people with
Speaker 1: still outlandish, idiotic theories. You can say anything you want
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, but if you're on the inside,
Speaker 1: you know everything. Everything is clear to you because you
Speaker 1: already know what's going on. You already see what's happening.
Speaker 1: And this is why people constantly keep uh making remarks,
Speaker 1: keep talking about the same old situation, because it's just
Speaker 1: a conversation and it just getting better and better every
Speaker 1: time they hear it. So I'm intrigued. But if you're
Speaker 1: on the inside of this situation, you know exactly what happened,
Speaker 1: and and it's some things that the people on the
Speaker 1: inside I can't talk about, but everybody know what the
Speaker 1: hell is going on, and you know they made it
Speaker 1: clear when when Tupac fast I shot the share. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, It had to be known. I
Speaker 1: didn't get ask Reggie about his work at workout Regiment
Speaker 1: because the last time we spoke to him on the
Speaker 1: gang's chronicles, I think he said he lost about thirteen
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds after being there about six eight twelve week
Speaker 1: And now he's been in there, uh what about three
Speaker 1: or four months now? Well, I already won bomb first
Speaker 1: he was talking about. I guess it was raining and
Speaker 1: they couldn't get out there like they wanted to, so
Speaker 1: they got to get back on it. I mean, definitely,
Speaker 1: if he stick to it, he's gonna he's definitely gonna
Speaker 1: come out a better person. Whether it's calisthetics, just just
Speaker 1: running around the track or whatever, He's gonna come home better.
Speaker 1: What did you think going on? Because you knew Reggie
Speaker 1: when he was tramming in shape as a cop, and
Speaker 1: and just over the years he put on a whole
Speaker 1: lot of weights. Well that's because he's shipping back. He retired.
Speaker 1: He ain't doing nothing he was with when he was
Speaker 1: with the role, he was living good, eating, you know,
Speaker 1: and that should catch up with you now in a
Speaker 1: position where he can knock all that ship off of
Speaker 1: him and come home Reggie right again. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know a lot of people in the
Speaker 1: under estimate that do Uh, he bought far scary, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Uh, I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of criminal mind you have, because I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody is you know whatever. But I stayed away from
Speaker 1: all that. But I just I've been doing Reggie for
Speaker 1: a long, long year. I think he could lose anywhere
Speaker 1: from fifty to seventy five pounds. Um wait, by the
Speaker 1: time he gets out at least at least sixty five
Speaker 1: pounds at ease, just doing it slow. If he's on
Speaker 1: the same page that he was when he said he
Speaker 1: lost that fifteen pounds. I think he was only in
Speaker 1: there for like two or three months. And when you
Speaker 1: get in there, you you want to get in there
Speaker 1: and get on the punch, and you want to get
Speaker 1: ready for you your visit, your visits and all that ship.
Speaker 1: I think he said he was walking the track, walking
Speaker 1: the track, You walk the track. They got little machines
Speaker 1: in there when we took him down there, they got
Speaker 1: machines on the yard where you just get on the
Speaker 1: little trail mills and do your thing. I didn't see
Speaker 1: no no weights. But you know, my fucking jail. You
Speaker 1: know the program. You can get water bags, put waters
Speaker 1: in a plastic bag with your t shirts, do your curls,
Speaker 1: and all that ship. So well, I wonder what let's
Speaker 1: think about Biggie Small's being inducted into that music Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. Do do you guys out there believe he
Speaker 1: deserves it? Or as two albums, as Reggie Wright Jr. Says,
Speaker 1: not enough to get inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I think it's enough, But I wonder what the listeners
Speaker 1: and viewers think. Um, let's get back to what we
Speaker 1: were in the middle of this conversation, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you the question, James. So, if you're found not
Speaker 1: guilty in criminal court, should that be the end of
Speaker 1: your case? That should be the end. There shouldn't be
Speaker 1: no civil How can you go to civil if I
Speaker 1: be criminal? No? Such thing is double standard. And that's
Speaker 1: why O J. A lot of people was mad. A
Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to said, but when OJ
Speaker 1: beat that case, a lot of people was mad. And
Speaker 1: then he took his black ass to Las Vegas and
Speaker 1: created a situation, if I get caught down here going
Speaker 1: down to get my own ship, these people gonna do
Speaker 1: something to me. And and he wind up doing time.
Speaker 1: And they only gave him that time because he beat
Speaker 1: that case. He beat that case. It ain't too many
Speaker 1: brothers going down there. If it's it's to me it's politics.
Speaker 1: But I think if if, if, if nobody is above
Speaker 1: the law, and if you show that, if you're letting
Speaker 1: us know that we are above the law, we're not

Speaker 1: I got out of prison, I knew I had to
Speaker 1: get a job. I know. I don't want to work hard.
Speaker 1: I don't want to work in no goddamn warehouse. But
Speaker 1: the choices I don't have a choice because I got
Speaker 1: three kids. The average cat get out of prison, ain't
Speaker 1: I don't want to work. We don't want to work.
Speaker 1: Why not? Because we keep it one honey, we're lazy
Speaker 1: in the motherfucker go in on that. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: how how how many motherfucker's laying up abunder their girl
Speaker 1: and not getting up and paying their paying their fucking bills.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's us. I put myself in the same
Speaker 1: category that I'm speaking on, y'all. That's how we are.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, And and all that. If
Speaker 1: I know what I know now, I would have been
Speaker 1: a different motherfucker back then. That that is true. It's true.
Speaker 1: But I mean, we get caught up in and and
Speaker 1: you know, hanging in certain places, want to pick up
Speaker 1: the girls, and driving a certain card and doing this,
Speaker 1: and hanging with the homies. Know what I'm saying, We
Speaker 1: get caught in the ship. We out here killing each other,
Speaker 1: We out of here fighting over of Bandanna. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're causing the problem. They're only helping
Speaker 1: us with the problem. We're talking about the police killing us,
Speaker 1: but we're killing us, man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's a double sword, you know, man, we out
Speaker 1: here a black cat get killed, a gang member get killed.
Speaker 1: Every day you get a black kid get killed by
Speaker 1: the police. Everybody in the uproar pick up them goddamn sticks.
Speaker 1: And then posters and post every time this hood or
Speaker 1: that hood killed that cat. Everybody is accountable for the ship.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, accountability. Get on us about killing
Speaker 1: each other. You know what I'm saying. Black on black
Speaker 1: crime need to stop. They had this one poster where
Speaker 1: the KKKS was like thinking the blacks for doing their job.
Speaker 1: How can you be mad at that poster? If a
Speaker 1: motherucker tell the truth, you can't be mad at him.
Speaker 1: The truth is the truth. I'm sure there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that come home from prison though that they're
Speaker 1: gonna say. James Man, I came home and did it.
Speaker 1: I worked twelve hours a day, I went to a
Speaker 1: warehouse job, I did this, and I did that. And
Speaker 1: that's when you salute. That's when you salute. That's a
Speaker 1: different That's That's not what I'm saying. I'm not I'm okay.
Speaker 1: If I have to divide, I will. I know how
Speaker 1: to do that. I divided and say the bad apples
Speaker 1: and the and the good ones. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm saying when we were in the hood kicking it,
Speaker 1: I just lost my little cousin last night. I got
Speaker 1: killed going into the going into the to the looking store,
Speaker 1: just walking in the looking store. Don't look like no thug,
Speaker 1: none of this. And two cats walk up on him
Speaker 1: and just gut him down on a rose crass and grinshaw.
Speaker 1: You know, if this ain't senseless, but it hurts, it
Speaker 1: hurts more. And I can can I can contest of
Speaker 1: this when it happens to your people, when it happened
Speaker 1: to you, and and and I lived this life hurting people.
Speaker 1: You feel me. But when it when it can't, nobody
Speaker 1: tell me ship we were killing us. I know this
Speaker 1: for a fact. I've been doing it for years and
Speaker 1: never thought about it. Now that I'm older, Damn, what
Speaker 1: the funk I've been doing my life. Well, those numbers
Speaker 1: are coming down, and hopefully I think we're gonna see
Speaker 1: a big change in a lot of these neighborhoods that
Speaker 1: have been participated in self genocide for the last twenty
Speaker 1: thirty years. Um, I don't know the circumstances of what
Speaker 1: happened to your cousin. Uh, you don't know if it's
Speaker 1: black black or he was killed by game bangers, is right?
Speaker 1: The guys so they walked up to Maxine where he
Speaker 1: was from. YadA, YadA, or whatever and just count them down. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, everybody and every black man ain't the game banger.
Speaker 1: And and this little guy, sure it wasn't a game banger.
Speaker 1: He didn't look he don't look intimidating, he don't dredge
Speaker 1: like a thug, he don't walk with his pants off
Speaker 1: his ass, you know, And you can't say it's sense
Speaker 1: is when we just start killing just just because, just
Speaker 1: for the funk of it. Yeah, that's that's something that
Speaker 1: really is bothersing in the gang culture. Because when you
Speaker 1: ask somebody where they're from and they say I ain't
Speaker 1: from anywhere, that should be the end of it. That
Speaker 1: should be it. And some of you guys out there
Speaker 1: don't know how to end it. Go find somebody that's
Speaker 1: really from somewhere that's really gonna take the business to you,
Speaker 1: rather than take your anger and frustration out on somebody
Speaker 1: that already told you I ain't from nowhere. Keep in
Speaker 1: real life, you know. So you know that's a that's
Speaker 1: the problem that we've had for decades in these streets.
Speaker 1: And you all should be ashamed of yourself if you
Speaker 1: don't know how to walk away from somebody that says
Speaker 1: I ain't from nowhere, leave me alone. That should be
Speaker 1: the end of it. But let's move on to another topic. James,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you what you thought about these tweets.
Speaker 1: We got the super Bowl coming up San Francisco, forty Niners,
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. They got this young quarterback named Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: And while I'm about to go into this next question,
Speaker 1: James has shown me a picture of his cousin that
Speaker 1: just got killed on Banger Crunshawn Rose crans Um, No,
Speaker 1: man um. You know, if if the if the brother,
Speaker 1: if your cousin said I ain't from nowhere or I
Speaker 1: ain't with that, that should have been the end of it.
Speaker 1: But but then you got your mother over here right down.
Speaker 1: I raised my kids good. But just because you raised
Speaker 1: your kid, you're still in the hood, you're still living
Speaker 1: in in in, you in the danger zone. So where
Speaker 1: no matter where you go, this could be brought to
Speaker 1: you and the ship need to be fixed. But you
Speaker 1: can't fix it if we keep the same antilities we have,
Speaker 1: you know, on some fucking ship that ain't game banging,
Speaker 1: killing the motherfucker because he ain't win it. That ain't
Speaker 1: game banking. Now the dude that did it is definitely
Speaker 1: somebody that has a lot of anger and rage and
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to channel it in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And who that did it is pretty much some somebody
Speaker 1: like we were, you know what I'm saying in our
Speaker 1: game banging days, that didn't give a fuck. I'm just
Speaker 1: hot to get somebody. Yeah, you could probably relate to
Speaker 1: to the shooter. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I know
Speaker 1: you're mad at the shooter, But I'd be a fucking
Speaker 1: fool to sit here and and and make myself look
Speaker 1: like a hypocrite. I lived that life, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But back in our days, when we've seen
Speaker 1: the real cats that that that you get a stripe
Speaker 1: off of with their daughter and their arms are with
Speaker 1: their family, that cat gotta pass. You ain't gonna die today.
Speaker 1: We could catch you, you know what I'm saying. Now,
Speaker 1: you can be in the room place at the wrong time,
Speaker 1: with the room color on and and you have a problem.
Speaker 1: But man, I think twenty years old, what's what's your
Speaker 1: cousin's name? I ain't calling different ships. Well, I feel
Speaker 1: your pain, man, I could you know already sitting right
Speaker 1: next to you, I know I feel it. Already, And man,
Speaker 1: I just wish that Los Angeles can become a place
Speaker 1: that I could feel comfortable. Now now, I don't understand
Speaker 1: when when I tell when when my wife tells me
Speaker 1: it's eight o'clock and you're gonna let your your boy
Speaker 1: go to the liquor store, I'm the liquor stories right
Speaker 1: down the street. Why are you tripping? No, it's it's
Speaker 1: already I'm always telling her to let them go out there,
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, it's already dark. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: so you don't want our own sun walking to the street.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because of what you just showed. Man,
Speaker 1: she was right the old time, don't let any walk.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I want my kids to go out there
Speaker 1: and experience the world. You know. Can't keep them in
Speaker 1: the damn closet all the time. That will be the
Speaker 1: biggest thing to bite you in At the end of
Speaker 1: the day. You're gonna say, why did I I understand
Speaker 1: mothers are really more sympathetic to stuff like that, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm the type that, hey, go out there, just
Speaker 1: be careful, watch your back, keep your head on the swivel,
Speaker 1: go there and get what you gotta get. Be respectful,
Speaker 1: don't stare at anybody, and come home. You know. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure your cousin was probably already knew the drill
Speaker 1: man and he was going to the stove, you know.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm I just lose so many people
Speaker 1: like this, and not only my loss, whatever,
