Okay, 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: I know in twenty twenty three that's not the case 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: with inflation.

But the doctor told them they was getting 57 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: over something and they don't even know what this something was. 58 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: So for her to use success for six days, I 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: don't see the problem. Okay, Not to mention we don't 60 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: know what this young woman is dealing with. She may 61 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: be dealing with something way worse than any of those 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: things I just mentioned. Okay, and clearly she is, because 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: I have to tell you this story, right. The manager 64 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: of a family Dollar said that Dinesia sent her a 65 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: text message saying she wasn't coming to work because she 66 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: was sick. Fair, the manager said, after she told holiday 67 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: she was being removed from the schedule for calling in 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: sick too much. How do you tell somebody they call 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: it in sick too much? You don't know if that 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: person sick or not. But after the manager told Donesia that, 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: what do you think Donesia did envy? Just guess Memphis. 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: Her name is Donesia. What do you think she called 73 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: out sick again? Nope, but she came into work. But 74 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: when she came into work, she showed up after business 75 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: with a pistol okay, a gun? All right? Oh, that 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: makes sure all your kids won't grow. I don't know 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: if it was a fourth fall. I just found like 78 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: quoting too Papa. By the way, that's one of the 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: most toxic lines ever. My four for make sure all 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: your kids won't grow. But the store manager said Donisia 81 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: pulled the gun out of her right pocket, pointed it 82 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: at her, and waved it around. Police there were three 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: other employees there and customers at the register when it happened. 84 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: The victim said, Holiday put the gun back in her 85 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: pocket and threw a staple at her before another employee 86 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: escorted or out the store. That employee had to be 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: Dinesia's friend, because it ain't no way, Okay, I see 88 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: someone mad with a gun, I'm running and exactly I'm 89 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: escort them out the store. Come on, man, especially, ain't no, 90 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: Ain't nobody doing that if they're not your friend, because 91 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: they ain't no regular Family Dollar employee doing that. Family 92 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Dollar ain't dying for you. In fact, if you work 93 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: in Family Dollar and you get killed in Family Dollar, 94 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: I have a feeling the corporation, the Family Dollar gonna 95 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: start to go fund me for your funeral now. The 96 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: manager of Family Dollar said that Dionesia threatened to shoot 97 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: up her vehicle before leaving. Police said Donicia was taking 98 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: into custody on Thursday and admitted to being armed with 99 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: a gun when she came to the Family Dollar, but 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: she told investigators that she had the gun because she 101 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: wanted to be prepared and took it out of her 102 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: pocket to adjust it in her hoster. Look, man, it's 103 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: a tough time in Memphis right now. Okay, Gangster bo 104 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: just passed folks on edge. All right, but my people, 105 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 1: my people, with my people. If you work in family dollar, 106 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: you know you can't afford to have an aggravated assaulting 107 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: three counter reckless endangerment charge. Her bond has been said 108 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: at ten thousand dollars. I know she don't have that money, 109 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: but the reality is none of us do. Okay, none 110 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: of us can afford that have those kind of charges. 111 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: None of us need to have those problems. And I 112 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: don't understand why we don't think about those things before 113 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: we make those kinds of decisions. Okay, life is about choices, 114 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: but there's something that has happened to us over the 115 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: last couple of years that is causing people to snap 116 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: and make the poorest of choices. And if we don't 117 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: start providing these people with the resources they need to 118 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: survive and thrive out here, God help us all.
