Speaker 1: I don't stand up on an airplane and YO hijack.

99
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: You don't walk into a movie theater and yell fire

00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: to shoot up at school.

102

109
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: and handcuffs to a police cruiser. Chetwood emphasizes that these

117
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,400
