We're looking for would be assassins laying 30 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.680 wait in the dark at sick something in the morning, 31 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.640 all right, I mean, I mean maybe that's a good point. 32 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.400 That's a good point, Gott. There's some dark tiding spots 33 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.680 out there, isn't there. Yeah, a lot of shadows out here. Man. 34 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.000 See Ross, he has a gilly suit so he he 35 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.400 can move to his vehicle as a bush so he 36 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.879 but you know, very dangerous. 37 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.319 No, I'm not the gilly suit today. I brought the 38 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.199 box like metal gear, solid box. 39 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.120 Yeah. They'll never see that coming. Nope, not at all. 40 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.719 All right, so keep those closed. Ay, if you see 41 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:25.520 any red dots anywhere, it's been it's been fun. What 42 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.639 the hell was that? What the And we were getting 43 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.599 just the first inkling of it right around the last 44 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.080 segment of the show yesterday. But I couldn't confirm who 45 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.479 it was, and so, and it always goes down like 46 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.360 that because this story was because then after the show, 47 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.919 I'm like, I have to know everything, what the heck happened. 48 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.560 So if you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, one, 49 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.240 how do you do it? That'd be amazing. But more importantly, 50 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.199 here we go, so United Healthcare, and let me let 51 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.360 me break this down for you, since a lot of 52 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.719 people were getting this backwards. There's United Healthcare is a 53 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.319 sub group of United health which is the parent organization. 54 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.560 So United Healthcare is the insurance side. But that's going 55 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.319 to be kinde of important here, So just so you 56 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.400 know that. So this guy, this Brian Thompson, was the 57 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:27.800 CEO of United Healthcare, which is the insurance component business spinoff. Honestly, 58 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.599 I don't fully know how it's structured, but you understand 59 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.879 what I'm saying. So he's up in uh, he's up 60 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.800 in New York, and he's getting ready to do like 61 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.280 a like an earnings thing with investors at the hotel 62 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.319 he's staying at too. But for whatever reason, he walked outside. 63 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.879 Maybe it's adjacent to the hotel. It was a little 64 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.479 unclear in the thing, but that's why he's up there. 65 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.439 And then at you know, o dark thirty in the morning, 66 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.360 dude walks outside and standing outside just just hanging out 67 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.199 is a guy in a hoodie with a backpack with 68 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.400 a pistol with a silencer, with a job to do. 69 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.560 Because immediately as he goes out there and he takes 70 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.040 a right out of the hotel entrance to just start 71 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.560 walking down, the guy fires, fires, hits it right in 72 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.279 the back, hits him a couple more times, walks up 73 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.759 on him, keeps firing, and then boogies man and he 74 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.399 does things in there which caused a lot of conjecture 75 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.199 yesterday because in the video one anyone who anyone with 76 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.120 any sort of firearms training, if you haven't watched this video, 77 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:48.759 you should, the guy is very comfortable with that weapon, 78 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.720 very comfortable. And there's some speculation because he does some 79 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.560 hand movements, and whichever of the two things is true 80 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:06.240 bolsters that point. Either he very definitely fixes a jam 81 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.040 in just a matter of moments. And for anyone who 82 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.160 doesn't fire weapons but has ever or on the regular, 83 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.720 but has ever been in a like you're at a 84 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.519 range and somebody lets you shoot one and you pop 85 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.240 a few and now the slide's still open. You know, 86 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.160 there's not an instantaneous reaction of that. Chances are you 87 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.600 probably turned to the person whose pistol it was, Hey, 88 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:34.120 what the hell? Man? But if it's your pistol and 89 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.759 there's a jam and you are comfortable with it, in 90 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.759 a very quick secession, you can get that thing clear 91 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.959 and get back to firing. But it requires you to 92 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.319 be very comfortable with it in my opinion. All right, 93 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.639 in my opinion. But that's just one theory. The other theory, 94 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.360 and this is what Ross and I were talking about. 95 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:01.720 So the other theory is he was manually rechanged between rounds. 96 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:09.319 Because now getting too technical, Basically, the explosion that happens 97 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.439 with your bullet is also what assists in racking that slide. Okay, 98 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.439 so that's the case. You're wondering how that did it 99 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.759 for you, it's it's that's what's going on there. It 100 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.360 don't call me because I understand that there's more technical 101 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.839 stuff there, but this is we're just going very generic here. 102 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:32.839 And a silencer, among other things, is slowing down the round. 103 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.519 It's slowed down a lot of things. And the other 104 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.360 theory is that that silencer on that firearm wasn't allowing enough, 105 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.720 if it wasn't allowing the pistol to operate the way 106 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.839 it was designed because of the silencer, which required manually 107 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.839 manually going between rounds, as if you're pumping a shotgun okay, 108 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.519 like a pump action shotgun of tween each rout. And 109 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.920 if that's true and he's able to benulate and utilize 110 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.279 the weapon with the silencer on and do so very comfortably, 111 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.319 very quickly, both things speak to somebody who probably isn't 112 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:17.000 your average New York City crackhead. Okay, so it from 113 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.240 there things go wild on the verious speculation. What I 114 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.680 did find interesting, though, is there were a lot of 115 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.480 people who said, and I understand it. They said, well, 116 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.839 you know, maybe this is maybe that's a just gruntled 117 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:37.120 a person who had United Health coverage and got sick 118 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.319 or something happened, and they feel that they were getting 119 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.879 slighted by United Health, and maybe that's the case. United 120 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.480 Health is a behemoth. When I lived in Minnesota, obviously 121 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.639 that's where they're out of They're tried there. The fact 122 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.360 we were running ads I heard on our own station 123 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.040 basically trying to keep United Health from coming into North 124 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.360 Carolina very aggressively, being run by their competitors, obviously, but 125 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.279 still they are a big, ever expanding company, and they 126 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:13.199 also have a higher than average denial rate. So all 127 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.720 of these things are true, but I don't know any 128 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.920 of that. Look the word that people are trying to avoid, 129 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.839 and I thought it was very strange yesterday because there's 130 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.720 nothing that looks normal about that what happened, because we 131 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.399 have the video. But also and let me go, let 132 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.399 me go on the other side, to not use the 133 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.679 word assassin. This is what I'm saying, because I thow 134 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.720 people were getting all clinching. Know what you're saying in assassin, Well, 135 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.759 I don't know it. Dude, looks like you got assassinated, 136 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:44.799 So I think I'm onto something. But it invokes, you know, 137 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.039 payment for payment for deed or but it doesn't have 138 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.879 to be. And then there's another stranger story that came 139 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.519 out this morning, this from the New York Post, because 140 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.759 yesterday people are being told not to speculate that this 141 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.159 guy may have been shot because somebody felt slighted by 142 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.320 the insurance company. But wasn't that a law and Order episode? 143 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.600 I think I saw somebody post that and do you 144 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.200 think that somebody, when you know that for all the 145 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.120 reasons that people do, go and do stuff like that. 146 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.799 You think somebody who feels that maybe a family member 147 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.399 died because they didn't get an insurance policy paid out 148 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.919 that they had paid into, and that sticks with them 149 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.399 and they decide to go do something or hire somebody. 150 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.480 The hire somebody gets a little tougher when you're talking 151 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.320 about something like that, But who knows. Maybe it's just 152 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.840 somebody who did an eight minute eighties you know, eighties 153 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.600 movie era training montage, and now all of a sudden 154 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.519 he's walking around like he's in Ross's hit Man video game. 155 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.240 But then there's a couple other things. One so he 156 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.960 leaves the area, goes into an alley adjacent to there 157 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.919 and gets on one of those e bikes you remember 158 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.000 those from the Miss Nurse with the three the three 159 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.799 young men there where they're like, she stole our bike, 160 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.480 but of course it was they who stole her bike. Uh, 161 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.000 he got all one of those, and then he's on 162 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.200 so he's on fifty four, so it's not that far. 163 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.200 So he heads over then to Central Park and kind 164 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.440 of disappears in there, and because it's one of the 165 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.759 few areas in New York City where you can get 166 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.919 a little peace and quiet from a surveillance camera. It's 167 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.279 almost nowhere that you're on pavement? Are you going to 168 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.919 do that? So he heads in there and that's what 169 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:38.000 they know. But before he did a couple of things. 170 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.039 I'm sorry. Before before we just got to stop right there. 171 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.039 There was a couple other things they figured out. One 172 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.200 they have video and the court this is what I 173 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.039 was talking about of him going into Starbucks nearby prior 174 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.960 to this, uh, getting himself something to drink, and I 175 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:59.120 think a power bar or two two power bars. And 176 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.639 then they fouled the trash actually disposed where he disposed 177 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.039 of it. So does that mean they have fingerprints? I don't. 178 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.759 I don't know. It looks say he's wearing gloves, so 179 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.240 was he? 180 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.639 I wonder what name he gave? All right, if it's 181 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.120 a Starbucks, he give me your name and they're right 182 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:15.559 in the cup. 183 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.639 That's a very good point. Do you think he gave 184 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.519 his full name? Do you think that'll be the undoing 185 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.440 of the assassin? He just wanted to make sure he 186 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.039 got his coffee because you know it sucks. Would he 187 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.960 give a you ever yeah, I I honestly, I don't 188 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.240 know if I ever had to give my name. It 189 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.000 a Starbucks. Don't they ever buy a Starbucks? Is usually 190 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.360 is something in a bottle there. 191 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.559 They find a cup, they find the cup of just 192 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.600 says the killer on it. 193 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.879 Damn it. Yeah, dude, I would there's nothing, it's nothing. 194 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.159 It's funny here, But that would be some next level trolling, 195 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.960 wouldn't it. They also found a phone they think it 196 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.360 might have been disposed burner style phone, and they're they're 197 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.039 gonna get in there and see what's in. I just 198 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.600 so I don't know because if he is a and 199 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.360 I'm speculating that he I guess if if the person 200 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.720 in fact is an assassin, those seem like really rookie 201 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:12.519 mistakes like to you because it shows that you thought 202 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.320 enough that she had to go to Central Park so 203 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.519 you could quote lose them, but not enough that you 204 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.480 didn't think that they could do the thing that they 205 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:23.679 do on every crime procedural ever now where they track 206 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.200 back on cameras, like, oh, we found the car and 207 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.120 we were able to track it back twenty minutes ago 208 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.639 to where you know, where it came out of this 209 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.879 warehouse and then you know, the cops will run over 210 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:38.600 there like like. So I don't know, I don't know, 211 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.679 but I know there's a bunch of crazies out there. 212 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.799 So Ross's box idea is probably the right one. So 213 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.639 here is I mentioned the New York Post had a 214 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.679 couple things. This is here we go. This is the headline. 215 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.919 United Hell CEO Brian Thompson's assassin may have left messages 216 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:04.759 on bullets used in the murder. Oh now now we're 217 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.519 now we're going to the you know, the carving or 218 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.720 the excene or the initially or the in this case, 219 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:17.399 engraving that tends to uh, tends to inject itself in 220 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:21.159 some some weird or crazier stories like this. Uh. And 221 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.840 according to the New York Post article, uh, there were words. 222 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.200 Three words, not all three were carved into each both 223 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.960 the casing and the round. Okay, so they were carved 224 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.879 twice on each prior to firing them. One on the bullet, 225 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:43.039 went on on on the on the showcasing, and it 226 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:49.559 was denied, depose, defend that were engraved. But again, so 227 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.279 I guess it's one word per thing. I don't know. 228 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.200 There's nine millimeters, so I mean, you're not working with 229 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.279 a ton of room on there. But yeah, so hell 230 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.879 if I know. But I think the people that were 231 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.879 speculating that it might have a little something to do 232 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:14.080 with that, well, something to do with his station in life. 233 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.919 I think that that has to be it. It doesn't 234 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.080 mean it has to be somebody who's denied health insurance. 235 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.519 It could be some lunatic from one of these eat 236 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:26.440 the rich, you know, anti capitalist groups. It could be uh, 237 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.200 it could be he you know, there's some sort of 238 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.360 personal background thing where uh, you know, rich guys get 239 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.360 mad at each other too. I don't know. I'm not 240 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.200 going to openly speculate like you know, infidelity or something 241 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.559 like that. I'm just saying that you had, you have 242 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.600 all these possibilities open. And you know, obviously the fact 243 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.399 that he heads he heads the insurance side of United 244 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.360 Health Operation, that would be a prime target for people 245 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.799 who hate the banksters, you know, that kind of stuff, 246 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.960 even though he's not a banker. Say, but you understand 247 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.000 what I'm saying. So I don't know, the whole thing's crazy. 248 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.559 So we got, you know, we well, we'll do some 249 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:10.440 open speculating this morning. I know, I don't know when 250 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.960 the guy guy's making ten million year. But I mean 251 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.879 it's not like anyone was surprised that he's rich. Obviously 252 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:24.159 he's got him. He had himself a pretty pretty sweet gig. Wow. Also, 253 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.440 you know, I would say this if the killer's listening. 254 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.919 You know, Uh, silencers are illegal in New York. So 255 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:38.000 oh yeah, I know you read that part. But just 256 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.120 so you know, how do I know? Because somebody in 257 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.759 the law enforcement capacity in New York reminded people of 258 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.080 that yesterday as though that was the issue here. That's 259 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:52.279 silence or charge. Ah craziness, man. So there you go. 260 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.480 That's the rundown as we know it. If there's something 261 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.559 else you saw, you can. I've been reading about anything 262 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.799 I can find on this, but it's gonna be very 263 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:02.360 interesting to watch it all unfold. 264 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.120 Uh. 265 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.840 We in the meantime, were going to take a break. 266 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.039 You're right back hanging. Remember I remember in Seattle they 267 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.639 had one where they put in a pool, right and 268 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.480 the neighbors is they you know, the neighbors who actually 269 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.080 had houses in this particular area were not pleased. They 270 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.080 had like, uh, they had like a couch that had 271 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:24.080 a pool. The pool had it had uh a water 272 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:28.799 circulation system. Had a pump on it too. So yeah, yeah, 273 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:30.240 you want to do you want things to stay clean, 274 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.919 you want to make sure you got fresh water in there. 275 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.720 And this was in a homeless encampment. Meanwhile, not too 276 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:42.879 far away. Uh in was it was not in Seattle. 277 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.240 It was south might have been I don't remember, it 278 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.600 doesn't matter. Uh it might be down towards Olympia, which 279 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.919 is just south there. Uh, they had that home, but 280 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:53.559 it was the homeless A camera where they went into 281 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.000 that park and they had built caves in there. They 282 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.559 had built like a whole cave system and they were 283 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.759 like with with rooms, a kitchen area, all this stuff, 284 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.480 and it was like under it was adjacent to the 285 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.519 river there, I think whichever river comes in, and it 286 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.960 was under like a main road. So they were very 287 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.279 concerned obviously because they're structural issues when you start burrowing 288 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.519 an ewok village in the tree, or you put one 289 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.599 in the trees, and then you start burrowing the cave 290 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.079 system too, because remember they also had the ewalk looking 291 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.519 village in the cave in the trees. She got swimming pool, 292 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.359 you've got you know, rooms with a view, you got 293 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.599 others for you know a little more a little more 294 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.960 private down there. Well they had they tried to add 295 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.039 something else too, because the only thing missing at that 296 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.319 point you got your rest and relaxation. You need a 297 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:50.720 little need, a little distraction, you know, get home from work. Okay, 298 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:55.599 but it's probably not it. But you're bored whatever, you're done. 299 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.559 You know, you're done with your c activities for the 300 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.000 day and you just want to just to relax. That's, 301 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:05.640 by the way, as we call them cre activities. And so, yeah, 302 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.640 what do you do? You go steal an entire video 303 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:15.200 game unit? Why not? The owner of an arcade that 304 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.200 was looted by a mob of homeless vagrants ended up 305 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.400 raiding the nearby homeless camp looking for stolen merch after 306 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.680 the police told him his hands their hands were tied. 307 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.279 So just listen to this. This guy's like, Hi, I 308 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.119 run this arcade. My arcade was looted. Here's video of 309 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.440 all the people looting it. And you can see who 310 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.799 they are, which is why they knew. It was one 311 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.680 of the homeless dudes down there. And they didn't just 312 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:46.880 steal little stuff. They stole, among other things, an entire 313 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.519 x Men arcade machine. So your stand up video game unit, 314 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.920 which by the way are not light you ever had 315 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:58.000 to move one. Me and someboddies back in the day 316 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.160 got a sweet deal on a really really old version 317 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.279 of Golden Tea and we bought that thing. So because 318 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:09.240 why don't why wouldn't you write? And there was that 319 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.279 thing was such a pain in the ass to move 320 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:11.880 it into the room. 321 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.720 We moved it into Oh man, So like I appreciate 322 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.640 the hustle. Yeah, I know those cabinets are heavy, man. 323 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.480 Yeah, yeah, But you know it's like these guys have 324 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.920 a truck with a ramp on it. No, no, no, 325 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.160 they're stealing stuff old school, they're just hauling it down 326 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.160 the street. But what's even crazier is the guy's like, okay, 327 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.960 all right, well one, I know that dude, and I 328 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.000 know where that dude lives because he, you know, he's 329 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.599 a general nuisance down there. I'm gonna go down and 330 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.799 I think that's where it is. And you go down 331 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.960 there and you see an X Man arcade machine sitting 332 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.720 at the homeless encampment, and you can reasonably assume it's yours, 333 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.359 probably right, because you have video of the guy's stealing it, 334 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.799 and now it's right there next to him. And then 335 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:00.160 you call me there. 336 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.519 There's a lot of speculation there. Maybe they just had one. 337 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.440 I'm saying not, there's not the law enforcement thought process. 338 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.200 This is the arcade guy. So yes, there is going 339 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.480 to be speculation because he's having to go out and 340 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.680 solve this crime himself. Or maybe he didn't know that 341 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.839 at the time. He just knows he's gathering evidence. And 342 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.880 that's the kind of evidence that I think would lead 343 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.440 a police officer to have. What's what is the reasonable 344 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.880 articulable suspicion? A bunch of hoboes have it? 345 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.000 What? 346 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.759 Also, where are you plugging it in? You got another 347 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.680 hobo on, like one of those stationary bikes to power it. 348 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.079 Maybe it's like the old Seinfeld episode Man where they 349 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.319 stole the arcade game where George had the high score 350 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.200 in Frogger and they had to keep it plugged in 351 00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.079 while they move the cabinet across the street, because like 352 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.680 you know, once you get to the high score on it, 353 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.359 that's yours. You own it, right, Isn't that how it works? 354 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.160 I believe that's the law in New York. I don't 355 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.519 know if that is in California, But so you think 356 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.839 it's going to be clear here. So you think the 357 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:09.240 dude with no money who has to steal everything also 358 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.039 spend some money to achieve. 359 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.240 The highest year you're panhandling, someone gives you a quarter. 360 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.640 You're go into play Gallagher. Whatever your favorite game is. 361 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.160 What is it the X Men? You at the high score, 362 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.079 you put in your name, Hobo whatever, the Hbo. 363 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:28.880 Whatever it is or something stupid, probably yeah and so 364 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.160 and so. At that point it's like, well that's basically mine. 365 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.880 The police show up, they're like, yes, that is, in 366 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:40.279 fact an X Men giant stand up arcade machine. We're 367 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:43.960 out of here. Nothing we could do. It's a civil thing. 368 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:55.200 That's insane. Now you prove it to your loom. Yeah, 369 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.720 I mean, what what's the hobo saying? Like he was 370 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.960 panhanling for and then the same guy gave him the quarter, 371 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.400 was like, I got something better for you today. Now. 372 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:04.680 I don't know what the I don't know what the 373 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.160 unit cost. I know that the the Golden Teeth thing was, 374 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.839 Oh how much way it wasn't it wasn't felony level 375 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.960 dollar amounts. We didn't pay very much. This sounds a 376 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.920 lot newer, so it's probably worth a lot more. But 377 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.519 I don't know so so there you go that he 378 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.119 sees his x men arcade unit. The police go, yep, 379 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.200 that's it, we know, but you can't prove it's yours. Huh. Right, 380 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.960 There's a lot of ways he could prove that it's his, 381 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.680 not the least of which is he probably has each 382 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.279 of those units as part of his insurance policy and 383 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.960 they have serial numbers on them. But whatever. Then there 384 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:46.319 you could also just fingerprint all the coins in there, 385 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.839 which ironically, let's face it, the theft was likely about 386 00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:55.240 the coins, wasn't it, Which just shows you the thought 387 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.920 process of of this of these lunatics, right, because you've 388 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.759 hauled this, this gargantuan machine for what thirty dollars in 389 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.359 quarters I don't even know. And that's if it takes 390 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.359 quarters and not tokens. That's the other thing. How do 391 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:11.599 we know it's not a token machine? If it's got tokens, 392 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.000 chances are you could probably track it back with those. 393 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:16.839 You see this a lot of times, so like you 394 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:19.799 bigger things, people stealing ATMs only to have like a 395 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.039 few hundred bucks in them because they tend to clear 396 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.480 lose out. 397 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:29.000 Yeah, what was the I mean, that's more about putting 398 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.160 a toe strap on something and then dragging it down 399 00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.039 the road like that one Fast and Furious movie. 400 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.559 But it's never as easy as you plan it to be. 401 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.799
