<v Speaker 1>mean I'm mean who's getting that donky? That donkey that

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>don't don't don't don't don't donky? Other day right here

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>the breakfast club, bitch you call the donkey of the day,

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>But I mean no harm donk here today for Wednesday,

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>November TWENTYEF goes to a Baltimore man by the name

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of Kevin Gross. Kevin is forty six years old, just

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like I am. But I clearly make better choices than Kevin.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You know how sometimes people say, oh, you think you

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>better than me? The answer is, yes, yes, I do,

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>because I make better choices, not judging you for anything

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you got going on. But you asked me a question,

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh you think you better than me? Yes, hell yes,

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>because I understand the strongest principle of growth lies in

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>human choice, and I make better choices than you. And

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>if you are currently enjoying this thing called freedom, well

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you make better choices than Kevin as well, because he's

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>in jail, currently facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>eight year old co worker on the side of I

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety five this past Monday morning. I know some of

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>y'all right now are either at or on the way

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to jobs where you think you can't stand your co worker.

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You believe you hate this co worker with all your heart,

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and you just might, okay, just be better than Kevin. Okay.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And the way you continue to be better than Kevin

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>is simply by making the choice not to shoot your

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>co worker. Let's go a WBALTV for the report. Polease.

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 2>Bond denied for forty six year old Kevin Gross. He's

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty eight year old

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 2>coworker on the side of I ninety five early Monday morning.

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>According to charging documents, the victim called nine to oneint one.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>When state police arrived, they found him walking along the

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>shoulder of ninety five with seven gunshot wounds to the

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>arm and torso. Court documents show he told police he

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was on his way into work and got a flat tire,

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>so he pulled over on the shoulder of ninety five,

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>just north of the Howard County line. When he got

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>out to inspect the tire, his coworker, Kevin Gross, pulled

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>up behind him and got out, wearing a mask covering

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>his mouth. Quote Gross told him he must have hit

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a pothole or something, but upon inspecting the tire, the

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>victim could see the tire had been slashed. Gross then

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>produced a firearm and began firing numerous shots. Charging documents

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>reveal the two were assistant managers that planted AID in Elkridge.

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Gross had recently been demoted, and the victim told police

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Gross thought he had something to do with that demotion.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Kevin, you got the right last name, because this was Gross.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>What a diabolical plan. The victim was on his way

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>to work and got a flat tire. He thought he

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>hit a pothole, but his tires had been slashed. Oh,

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I wonder who slashed him? And then when he got

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>out to inspect the tire, Kevin pulled up behind him

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>with a mask and shot him several times, all because

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>he thought his coworker got him demoted. Both of them

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>were assistant managers at Planet AID. Now y'all know what

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>planet it is, right now. They had organizations that collect

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the clothing donations. They got the yellow bins all over

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the place he put the clothes and shoes in. Yeah. Yeah,

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>they accept clothing donations in seventeen hundred locations. Okay, in

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the Elkridge warehouse. You know where Elkridge is, right, yep.

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>They collect fifteen point five million pounds of used clothes

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and shoes annually. Well, clearly Kevin wasn't there for the car.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>So I needed to know what are the perks of

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>being an assistant manager at planid a EATE? So I

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>asked chat GPT how much does an assistant manager at

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>plane DAID make? I don't know if this is one

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent correct, but it says the average salary for

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>a manager at Planning Aid might earn between fifty thousand

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and sixty thousand annually. Now I need y'all to always

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind that my education is limited to a

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>high school degree from night school. Okay, dropping the clues

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>bump for Berkeley High School right than most sippling in

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina. But if it's one thing I understand is

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>prison math. And by prison math, I mean when you

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>have to calculate in your mind whether or not the

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>choice you make is gonna be worth you going to prison. Okay,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>now let's do the prison math. All right. I'm making

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty sixty grand a year in Baltimore as a forty

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>six year old man. I don't know about y'all. But

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>if I can afford to put some food on my

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>table and have a roof over my head, I'm gonna

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>be happy. Okay. Success is subjective, and if you're a

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>freeman forty six years old, you can come and go

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>as you please. You got a job, you maintaining that

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a good life. If you don't think it's a

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>good life, go to a prison right now and talk

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to these brothers doing fifteen, doing twenty, doing twenty five,

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>some of them doing forever, and ask them what they

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>trade lives with the freeman making fifty to sixty grand

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>as an assistant manager at Planet Aid. Hell, even if

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>he got demoted, Okay, even if he got demoted, the

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>warehouse lead role at Planet Aid earns about twenty seven

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine per hour. According to chat GPT, that's almost

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven grand a year if you work in forty

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>hours a week. All I'm saying is, no matter how

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>much I calculate this prison math. Okay, I've done addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I tried to figure this out multiple ways, and guess what,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 1>it just don't compute. Okay, it just doesn't add up.

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>The victim is in critical condition. He got seven times.

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>He got shot seven times. Kevin Gross is charged with

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>attempted first degree murder in Maryland. That's life in prison,

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>first and second degree of sold. Kevin Gross is also

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>charged with first degree of sold. It's twenty five years

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in Maryland, second degree is sold, it's ten years in Marilyn,

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 1>and he got other related charges. Moral of the story

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>is Kevin is spending the rest of his natural born

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>life in prison. Therefore, the prison math ain't adding up.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just not worth it. You have to calculate it

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>in your head. You got demoted. You don't even know

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>if this person you shot had anything to do with it,

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>but even if they did, as soon as you started

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>formulating this plan in your head, just think about it.

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna cut his tires, I'm gonna shoot him a

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>bunch of times. At some point your brain has to

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>say no, no, no, no, no. This prison math ain't mathing.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>This is not a situation that's worth having to eat

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>jail food for the rest of your life or having

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>an inmate treat your bunkie like a ball of cereal.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 1>So please let remy ma give Kevin Gross the biggest

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>he hall.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Hee ha he ha, you stupid motherfuck?

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you dumb? You got demoted? Take the l How

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>do you get demoted from like a salvation army? Please?

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.679
<v Speaker 1>That's a goodwill please? And what could you do wrong? Yeah?

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But he didn't even ask no questions.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>He just assumed it was this other this other person

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and shot him seven times. Now he's gonna spend the

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>rest of his life in prison for that. Don't add

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't need to play and you also, I mean

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>we can if you want to what you want to

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>play a game? He's from Baltimore, the white people in Baltimore. Ye,

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore. No, but something that patty like that, like

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>like you got a point, You got a point clothing store.

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Then it's not even like in a like a regular

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>clothing store. Plant. Yeah, like nah, always do prison math though,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>whenever you're about to make a choice that you think

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna get you in some type of trouble, especially if

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it's involving any type of crime, it's just just calculated

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>in your head. Is this worth the time you're gonna

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.159
