So Monday, 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,399 when I was filling in for Brett Winterble, we covered 11 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:41,200 the story of the murder of Arena Zarutzka. She was 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,280 stabbed to death on what we believe to be on 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,880 one of the Charlotte light Rail trains. This was down 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,200 in South End. It seems like now there's a bit 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,920 of confusion as to whether the murder occurred on the 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,880 train or at the station. It was in South End 17 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:10,760 on Camden Road. Very popular place among the young demographic. Okay, 18 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,680 it's referred to as Millennial Row, although I guess it 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,480 will probably need a rebrand at some point. But a 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,439 lot of young people are there, a lot of bars 21 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:27,640 and restaurants and such. And the guy who is alleged 22 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,359 to have murdered her with a knife, stabbed her to death. 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,519 A fifty sorry thirty four year old de Carlos Brown 24 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,000 has been arrested, charged with first degree murder. And the 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 guy has a rap sheet going back years and years 26 00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,760 and years. He has spent about a quarter of his 27 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:55,519 life in jail in prison, so a repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, 28 00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:03,359 repeat offender. This came up a little bit at the 29 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Charlotte City Council meeting on Monday, because she was murdered 30 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:11,039 at about ten pm on Friday. She was a Ukrainian 31 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:16,879 refugee fled the war zone to seek safety in America 32 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:20,520 in Charlotte, where she was stabbed to death by a 33 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,159 man with a rap sheet and a lengthy criminal history 34 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,240 and obvious mental problems, a man who we just could 35 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,360 not seem to figure out how to keep him out 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,360 of a civil society. We could not figure out a 37 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,120 way as a society to say this guy is a threat, 38 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:45,879 even though at the last court proceeding that he had 39 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,479 about a month ago his own defense attorney public defender 40 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,599 submitted him for mandatory psych eval and the judge signed 41 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,479 off on that. Because the guy, to Carlos Brown, he 42 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,520 had apparently misused the nine one one call system. He 43 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,400 called police or somebody called police for a wellness check 44 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:14,759 on him while he was at the hospital outside the hospital, 45 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,719 and when police showed up, he said that people had 46 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,319 put a bunch of material, man made material or something 47 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,960 inside of his blood and his body and his bones, 48 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,319 and he wanted the cops to figure out what they did, 49 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,520 and they were like, that's a medical issue, that's not 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,919 we can't do that. So then he got upset about that, 51 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280 so he called nine to one one to try to 52 00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:38,439 get police to come and investigate his claims, and that's 53 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:40,840 when the cops were like, yeah, now you're misusing the 54 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:43,400 nine one one system. So that's how he ended up 55 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:48,919 in front of a judge most recently, and he obviously 56 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:56,479 is mentally unstable. So this came up at the city 57 00:03:56,479 --> 00:04:01,000 council meeting. Here's the Charlotte Observer report. Multiple Charlotte City 58 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Council members called for immediate steps to improve public safety 59 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,879 on the city's transit system after the fatal stabbing of 60 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,680 a twenty three year old woman on a light rail 61 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:14,520 train and other recent incidents of violence. Now, one of 62 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,040 the things that you rarely see, if ever mentioned in 63 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,000 any of these stories about crime and violence on the 64 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,160 train system or or on the train or at the stations. 65 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,360 Is that it's basically the honor system. There are no gates, 66 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:37,040 there are no turnstiles, there's no way to keep people 67 00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:42,360 who aren't paying from accessing the platforms and from accessing 68 00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,800 the trains themselves. They can get on the trains, they 69 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000 could ride the train and if one of the guys, 70 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,839 one of the ticket takers or whatever, if they don't 71 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,639 come through. And that is apparently a rarity as well. 72 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,879 They don't make it through the trains all the time. 73 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,439 Very rarely do they make it through the trains. So 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,720 you could literally ride our light rail lines and never 75 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:04,959 encounter somebody that's going to ask you for proof that 76 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,879 you actually paid. Which means that people are now using 77 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,720 the mass transit system for free, which I think that's 78 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,240 not exactly a great idea if you're trying to, you know, 79 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,000 bring in revenue, But it also makes it a magnet 80 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,639 for people who don't have any money, are mentally unstable, 81 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,639 and want to get around. They will now just get 82 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,079 on the train for free. They'll ride around for free. 83 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,800 Ashville actually tried this. They don't have trains, but they 84 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,199 have buses, and they experimented with this. I don't know 85 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,959 if they're still doing it, because no matter how many 86 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:49,360 times the experiment fails, they always bring it back. Free buses. 87 00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:53,759 They want to run free buses, and what they what 88 00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:57,160 ends up happening is you get homeless people who just 89 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,680 ride the bus all day long and they make up, 90 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,480 they make a permanent encampment basically in the bus, and 91 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:07,439 they trash it. They pee, they poop, they throw away 92 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,920 their garbage just all over the seats and stuff. And 93 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,000 then people don't want to ride the mass transit system, 94 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,439 which is a problem, right if you're trying to provide 95 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:20,360 a mass transit system for your citizens so they don't 96 00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:25,720 they don't need to have a vehicle. Particularly, this harms 97 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:29,920 the lower income people who rely on mass transit. You're 98 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:33,160 making it less safe for them to be on the 99 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,759 bus or the train. But what's even more acute now 100 00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:40,360 for these city leaders is the fact that they're coming 101 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,560 to us and asking us for approval to raise the 102 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,319 sales tax for us to now pay more money on 103 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,959 every purchase we make in order to fund an expansion 104 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,279 of this system that you can't control, that you can't 105 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,399 even come close to guaranteeing people's safety, and maybe that's 106 00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:04,680 a bit much in a free society. I get it. 107 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,879 But you also prohibit me from carrying concealed on a train. 108 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,759 I'm not allowed to bring a gun concealed in my 109 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,319 waistband or in my coat so as to protect myself 110 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160 because you can't do it right. If you're not going 111 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:22,399 to provide security for me to ride the train, my 112 00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:26,600 options are to violate the law and carry concealed in 113 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:30,279 a place I'm not supposed to and suffer any repercussions 114 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:33,079 if God forbid I ever have to use the firearm 115 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,160 to protect myself, or I just won't take your train. 116 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000 And that's what I've opted to do. I'm just not 117 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,800 going to take your train. And people who have concealed 118 00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,399 carry permits. We deal with this stuff all the time. Right, 119 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,560 you walk into a store, you look at the front door, 120 00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,439 you see, oh my goodness, they got a sign not 121 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,680 going in there. So those are the options. And when 122 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,360 you're coming to ask me now to support raising my 123 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600 tax on literally every purchase I make, where not every 124 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,160 there are some exemptions like food and stuff, but almost 125 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,560 all of the purchases I make are going to face 126 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,920 increase taxes for a service that is unsafe and that 127 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,160 I can't ride because it's unsafe, and you won't allow 128 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,560 me to protect myself, Well, then I'm not going to 129 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,720 say yes to that deal. It's not a good deal. 130 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,439 Once again, the primary function of any government, as part 131 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,199 of the social compact here between the citizenry and the 132 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,120 government is that the government has to provide a certain 133 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,960 level of security and justice. And if you're not holding 134 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,320 up your end of that compact, then I walk. Then 135 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,600 there's no compact. I'm not giving up my own liberty 136 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,159 to you, so you cannot do the thing you're promising 137 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,080 to do in exchange for my liberty. That's the whole point. 138 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,480 So city Council now is quite interested and what immediate 139 00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:05,039 steps we can take, What can we do? Well? I 140 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,799 got an idea. Number one, install some freaking turnstiles. How 141 00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:12,799 about start there, restrict access If you don't have a ticket, 142 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,279 you don't get in, and then actually kick people off 143 00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,320 the trains all the time. When I was on the 144 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,679 subway up in New York and the Long Island Railroad 145 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,679 when I was up there, they walked through every time 146 00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:29,200 like they walk past me. Repeatedly checking tickets so it 147 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:34,039 can be done. That's number one. Number two, you guys 148 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,919 need to start exerting your political pressure onto the justice system. 149 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,679 You guys are all democrats. You guys are all on 150 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,559 the same party, right, You're all at the same fundraisers 151 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,960 and functions. Figure it out, all right? So you've heard 152 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,559 me talk about Creative Video for almost a year. But 153 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,399 did you know they also offer a game changing app 154 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,840 for businesses that reward their teams with incentive trips. Well 155 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:01,360 they do. It's called in Incentive Trip Kit. If you 156 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:03,600 want a business or work at one that offers these 157 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,159 incentive trips, this is a must have. It maximizes the 158 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,440 impact and value of these motivational trips. It's a super 159 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360 easy to use app built just for your group, with 160 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,840 private messaging, shared photos, important trip documents, even a find 161 00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,879 the group locator just in case somebody gets separated. And 162 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600 when I say it's private, I mean it. No personal emails, 163 00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:27,360 no phone numbers, no ads, no account sign ups. Everyone 164 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,519 uses one shared login, so it's super easy, no hassles 165 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,159 during the trip, everybody can post their best photos and 166 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480 short video clips, and folks back at the office can 167 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,200 even follow along and then after the trip. Incentive trip 168 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,799 Kit turns those memories into a professional storytelling video you 169 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,799 can use to motivate, inspire, and get people fired up 170 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,679 for next year's trip.

Jim says, 174 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,600 picture the pete. Charlotte hires three violence interrupters. They show 175 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,159 up to get their reflective vests. Only two vests are available. 176 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240 The third interrupter threatens to sue the city. The city 177 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,639 council settles for three hundred thousand dollars and then makes 178 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:21,679 the vests optional. That does that tracks, Bob says, I 179 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,720 wonder why they're not telling us the name of the 180 00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:26,159 coward who shot and killed kids at the Catholic church 181 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,279 this morning. Could it be he thinks he will be 182 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:32,720 enjoying his virgins tonight. What a piece of dirty was so, 183 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,000 I've not seen the shooter's identity released yet. Out of Minneapolis. 184 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,440 I would say that if it was a jiehattist, they 185 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,200 usually don't commit suicide, right, They usually keep murdering as 186 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,879 many people as possible while screaming how much God wants 187 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:56,919 them to do that sort of thing, because that is 188 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,039 what their God wants them to do, they believe, and 189 00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:02,240 they just keep doing it. They murder everybody they can 190 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,360 until they are shot and killed themselves. So I don't 191 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,240 know who. I've not seen the ID yet, but it 192 00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:15,399 will come out. It's only been like two hours, not 193 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,600 even two hours, so I mean, just give it some time, 194 00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:21,600 just be patient. I know I'm asking for a lot 195 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,080 to ask for patients in today's day and age, but 196 00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:28,440 these things take time. Unless the guy was carrying a 197 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:33,559 driver's license on him and a manifesto or something, but 198 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,559 we don't know who he was yet or and people 199 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,840 always ask about the motive in these situations, and we 200 00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:40,639 do not know the motive, and we may never know 201 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,200 the motive, by the way, because usually these people are 202 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,879 evil and deranged, and so trying to make some bit 203 00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:52,080 of sense out of why they did something evil and deranged, 204 00:12:52,559 --> 00:13:01,080 it's not going to make sense to us. Okay, So 205 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:07,600 this is from an anonymous I don't mean to sound crude, which, 206 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:09,120 by the way, that's a really good way for me 207 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,399 not to read your text messages to lead with that, 208 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,240 but I do appreciate the heads up. I do not 209 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,559 mean to sound crude, but the homeless have to be 210 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,759 sheltered in places that can handle their mental and drug issues. Well, 211 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,080 that's actually one of the problems is that a lot 212 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,159 of the homeless refuse to go to shelters because the 213 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000 shelters don't allow them to do their drugs and drink 214 00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:32,440 their alcohol. They don't want to follow the rules, so 215 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,279 they don't want to go to the shelters. And this 216 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,399 then leads to the question of well, what do you 217 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,240 do then, And that's when you get into the line 218 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,799 of thinking that leads to involuntary commitment and oh no, no, 219 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,279 we can't do that one or two here and there 220 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,399 is one thing, but I see them all over the place. 221 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,799 There should be signs that read do not feed the homeless, 222 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,919 and you should not I've seen signs. They do put 223 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,799 signs out there. There are some local jurisdictions that post 224 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,519 sign do not give money to the panhandlers, because you're 225 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,600 just encouraging more of it. If it ceases to be 226 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,799 a revenue generating enterprise for them, they will not be 227 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:13,919 there anymore. They will find something else. 228 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: To do. 229 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: This is from an anonymous person city asking its citizens 230 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:26,360 to raise taxes? How dare they your president unilaterally charging 231 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,720 or changing tariffs on a whim. And then he's got 232 00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:35,480 a little emoji with the zipper across his lips. The 233 00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:41,559 selective outrage is comical. So I don't know who you 234 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,600 think you were texting here. You obviously don't listen to 235 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:51,080 my show. You obviously did not hear what I just said, 236 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,120 which was the city is asking me and all Mechlimurk 237 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,480 County residents asking us to raise our taxes in order 238 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:07,720 to fund a system that they cannot give assurances is safe. 239 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,600 That is in no way a commentary on them asking 240 00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:14,080 us to raise our taxes. It's a commentary on the 241 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,360 nature of the offer. See but I know you wanted 242 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,759 to hear this thing and twist it through the prism 243 00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:23,879 of Orange Hitler. So and I get that. That's why 244 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:27,080 I call it Trump derangement syndrome, is it deranges the 245 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,559 way you think about things. Number one. Number two. Also, 246 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:34,840 I was opposed to Donald Trump's tariffs. So I'm sorry 247 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,440 you're going to need to update your left wing narrative 248 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,919 talking points because they don't apply to me. See, I'm 249 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,200 an individual. I have my own thoughts and opinions on 250 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,399 individual topics. I don't make my opinion based on Donald 251 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,399 Trump's opinion. I don't look to him and say, well, 252 00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,000 if he says it, it must be true. I don't 253 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,639 do that. And sometimes, yes, that does get me a 254 00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:03,080 little bit, and it's sideways with some Trump supporters, but 255 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,519 I don't care. It doesn't matter to me, because see, 256 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:10,759 I can't. You cannot do this kind of a job 257 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,360 for as long as I've done it. If you just 258 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:19,080 change your opinions based on who the president is, based 259 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,240 on whatever you think the audience wants to hear see 260 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,360 the news talk audience, and I would put you obviously Democrat, 261 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:28,600 lefty leaner kind of a guy in there, or maybe 262 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,480 you were never Trump used to be a Republican some 263 00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:34,120 of our call or something like that. But people will 264 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,039 call you out when they know that you are lying 265 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,399 about a position you were taking now that was different 266 00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:42,039 from a position from the same position you held earlier. 267 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:45,120 You get called out for that. So I've always just 268 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:46,240 said this is what I think, and. 269 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: You know it. 270 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: If I changed my mind about something, I'm going to 271 00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:52,679 tell you why I changed my mind. But uh yeah, no, 272 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840 so sorry, your selective, outrageous comical. You're going to have 273 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,720 to try that out on somebody else who actually meets 274 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600 the critteria that you so wish I did.

A message from Russ 297 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:22,200 who says a friend of mine saw a travel blog 298 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,559 that had Charlotte's free trains listed as one of the 299 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:32,720 pluses for visiting the city. They're not supposed to be free, okay, 300 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,400 So the Charlotte City Council, some members of council tepidly 301 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,920 addressed this murder of Arena Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee twenty 302 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,720 three years old, stabbed to death by a repeat, repeat, 303 00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:51,000 repeat offender, mentally ill man on a train in South 304 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,079 End on Friday at around ten pm. First up, we 305 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,039 have the at large council member dimple Ashmira. 306 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 4: In past couple of days, I've heard from several constituents 307 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:08,920 regarding how they're afraid to ride our public buses, especially 308 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:16,960 after recent violent incidents, and that is concerning. Clearly, our 309 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,920 current safety policies are not enough, and with the referendum 310 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,480 this November, I'm even more concerned because we cannot let 311 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:31,839 fear drive peat away. So I would like a city 312 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,119 manager to provide us immediate steps that are being taken 313 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,240 to ensure the safety of our writers, our operators, and 314 00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,680 to restore the confidence in our system. 315 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: Right, So look good thing to do. Definitely want to 316 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,160 take a review, maybe assemble a blue ribbon commission, give 317 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,880 it a couple months, maybe a year, put together a 318 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,400 whole you know, action plan, nice binder and stuff, stick 319 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,200 it on a shelf. Then and you know, ignore it. 320 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,079 That's kind of the way this stuff goes. I think 321 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:10,200 that's one course, you know, Or you could, I don't know, 322 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,279 maybe like light a fire under some people's asses, how 323 00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:19,400 about that. I don't think that doing things the way 324 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,039 you've been doing them is going to affect the change 325 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,519 that you claim to want to see. Here's Edwin Peacock. 326 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,759 Speaker 3: I think everybody this dice has received the same news 327 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,880 as we all have to hear about the criminal activity 328 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,200 that's been occurring throughout this summer. We know about the 329 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,559 mass shooting that occurred in Uptown Charlotte that led to 330 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,319 a lot of fear in that area. 331 00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: We just last week learned. 332 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,599 Speaker 3: That a bus rider on a Cat's bus not far 333 00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:54,480 from Carolina Place Small was assailed by four individuals. And 334 00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:57,160 we just learned on Friday night that there was a 335 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,240 stabbing at a very prominent area right in the heart 336 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:03,400 of South End, probably if the very apex of what 337 00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:07,519 many people consider to actually be the South End Manager. 338 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:09,440 You know that I emailed you. I wanted to make 339 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,400 it public. What my request was also just building off 340 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,799 what Missus Ashmir wanted. 341 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to know any. 342 00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: Details about the victim on this East Boulevard shooting, as 343 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,680 well as this victim that we have that Carolina Play Small, 344 00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:27,400 any information about the accused suspect, including past records that 345 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,480 can be disclosed, and then data and trends on criminal 346 00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,480 activity along the light rail over the past thirty six months, 347 00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,799 and any actions that have been taken by Cats and CMPD. Now, 348 00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:39,839 why I'm underscoring this and why I think it's so 349 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,680 important is the very reason that Asmirah and all of 350 00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:44,960 us here who know what is on the ballot this November, 351 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,799 which is the continued continuance of the expansion of our 352 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:51,640 transit system, and the transit system that we have all 353 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,279 put so much energy and effort into but we feel 354 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:56,160 is one of the best in the country. 355 00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: And all I know from my experience of living in Washington, 356 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,200 d C. 357 00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 3: And having a lot of friends in Atlanta is that 358 00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:04,079 the moment that the transit system starts to become something 359 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:07,000 where it's not considered to be safe is the moment 360 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:09,279 in which you begin to lose writers, You begin to 361 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,480 lose the momentum that you want to keep. 362 00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: And I don't want to see our community. 363 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,759 Speaker 3: I know our council doesn't want to see that as 364 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:16,440 well too, and that's why I want to request, do 365 00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:18,759 we have a trend, mister manager, Do we have something 366 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:19,920 that we need to respond to? 367 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: We are in a gap period right now. 368 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: We do not have a police chief that is coming in, 369 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,799 he is going out. 370 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:29,079 Speaker 1: Is that the cause of this? I don't believe. So 371 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,960 I'm not pointing a finger at CMPD. 372 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: But what I do want is I want us to 373 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,240 be proactive and not be reactive to this, and most importantly, 374 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,880 I want our public to know that we care about 375 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,519 citizens that are being harmed, and especially at such an 376 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,000 egregious nature on a public transit system that we have 377 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:46,279 direct authority over. 378 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 2: Right, So again good to do. Get some data absolutely, 379 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 you know what would also work just like the council 380 00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:59,400 and this was before Edwin Peacock was on it because 381 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,720 he was the replacement for Tark Bocari. But remember Charlotte 382 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,160 City council members got so very offended when they were 383 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:14,160 accused of backdoor dealings and corruption by Victoria Watlington, another 384 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,319 council member. Remember this when she was bashing her colleagues 385 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,720 over the settlement to the outgoing police chief, saying all 386 00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,759 this stuff was going on, dirty business behind closed doors 387 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:28,720 and all that, and they came out with a full 388 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,279 blown press conference they railed against that. How dare you 389 00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:35,519 and all of this talking about our reputation as a 390 00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:39,000 city is harmed and that's going to jeopardize economic development 391 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:43,440 and all of this. How about that? How about something 392 00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:46,480 like that but for crime. How about calling out some 393 00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,599 of your judges. How about calling out some of your 394 00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:54,839 fellow Democrat judges. A united front by City of Charlotte leaders, 395 00:23:55,559 --> 00:24:01,359 county leaders, school district leaders, general Assembly leaders, maybe even 396 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:07,960 some people from the court system, right, where are they see? 397 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,160 I can't help but wonder if this story is an 398 00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:18,920 inconvenience and that's why people are saying these things. Now, Oh, 399 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,960 we have to take a look at I don't think 400 00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:25,400 Edwin Peacock is doing this only because of the only 401 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,720 because of the referendum, but it definitely has an impact, right, 402 00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:35,759 And I just wonder how much crime are some elected 403 00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:39,200 officials just willing to allow and they're okay with because 404 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,000 it doesn't really impact them. But now when we want 405 00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:47,359 to expand the government program, we want to expand transit, 406 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,160 we want all of this money to come in now 407 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,920 that that may be jeopardized because of this story, because 408 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,160 of this tragedy that now it's like, well, we got 409 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,960 to do something now because now it's actually going to 410 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,240 jeopardize something that they do love. I don't like thinking 411 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,279 like that, but I do have to wonder. Here's Council 412 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:12,680 Member Renee Johnson. 413 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,519 Speaker 5: We have an email that CATS consolidated our safety and 414 00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:24,000 security to a vendor professional security services, Zach rec Okay, 415 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:27,680 So I think we should get an update from that vendor, 416 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:32,599 some information about the security services because we have a 417 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,799 contractor so I'd like to know when their contract is up, 418 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,160 and you know, just more information about this vendor and 419 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,480 what reports we we're receiving or what outcomes or outputs 420 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:51,559 that we are requiring for the vendor. We do need 421 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:57,279 our citizens to feel safe and to be safe on 422 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,880 the train, so I'd like some information on the security company. 423 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's also a good idea. 424 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 4: Yep. 425 00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: See, I'm an all of the above kind of guy. 426 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,759 I'm not saying don't do these things. 427 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,279 Speaker 4: Do them. 428 00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think it needs to be part 429 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,279 of a massive effort, because this is what you are 430 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,720 supposed to be prioritizing public safety top priority.

This occurred last Tuesday. A 455 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,400 fifty seven year old veteran got on the bus and 456 00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:42,319 about four minutes later, four other people get on the bus, 457 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:49,359 appear to be male juveniles or young adults, and within 458 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,359 minutes the men just get up and attack the veteran, 459 00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:56,599 beating him up and as he's trying to get off 460 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960 the bus, one of the attackers sucker punches him on 461 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,200 the way out. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. 462 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,279 He has been released. There have been no arrests made, 463 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:10,160 according to WSOCTV at the time of that publication. And 464 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,599 then WSOCTV also got a hold of Mayor v Lyles 465 00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:18,599 and asked her about this attack on the train that 466 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:22,799 left a twenty three year old woman dead, and she 467 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:29,720 put out a statement to WSOC. Her first sentence says, 468 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:32,960 first and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to 469 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:35,920 the young women's family and friends, which I was just 470 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,480 told by the Minneapolis or Minnesota or Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frye, 471 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,119 that that's not enough thoughts of prayers. Jen Pisaki left 472 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,759 us all over the place in the wake of this 473 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:52,480 Minneapolis school shooting at the Catholic school while the kids 474 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,519 were in mass they're using this thoughts and prayers aren't enough, 475 00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,880 which apparently now some of the manifesto has out, people 476 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,640 have discovered it of the shooter and he uses that 477 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,000 line it was a he, but he thought she was 478 00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:15,119 a she. Yeah, that's apparently who the shirter was, which 479 00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:18,519 I suspected what might be the case when someone goes 480 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:22,519 in and shoots up a church in a mass shooting 481 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:28,039 style attack like that targeting kids, chances are and I 482 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,000 you know, the first thing I thought was was it 483 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,319 a jihattist, But no, because they killed themselves, so jihatis 484 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,920 don't do that. And the other thought I had then 485 00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:39,200 was probably a trance and I said that off air. 486 00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:41,839 I don't say that stuff on air, But now that 487 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,000 does appear to be the case. YouTube has taken down 488 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:51,880 a channel of one Robin w Robin Westman real name 489 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,799 Robert Westman. So the mayor first sentenced thoughts and prayers 490 00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:02,319 to the young woman's family and friends, and then five 491 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:09,079 paragraphs on how we failed the attacker. We failed the 492 00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:14,079 attacker is There was a a Charlotte City councilwoman, Susan Burgess, 493 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,599 twenty years ago, or so I believe. It was in 494 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:23,319 relation to, or in response to, the murder of two 495 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,640 police officers, Shelton and Clark, and at the city council meeting, Burgess, 496 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,640 a bleeding heart liberal, make some comments about how we 497 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:43,519 as a community failed him the shooter and outrage ensued. 498 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,359 Fast forward twenty years and you have the same sort 499 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,160 of mentality that is still afflicting our friends on the left. 500 00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:57,799 She talks about a tragic situation that sheds lights on 501 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,880 shed's light on problems with societet safety nets related to 502 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,680 mental health care and the systems that should be in place. 503 00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:09,119 We must look at the entire situation. While I do 504 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,599 not know the specifics of his medical records, what I've 505 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:14,160 come to understand he is long struggled with mental health 506 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,200 and appears to have suffered a crisis. This was the 507 00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:20,880 unfortunate and tragic outcome. While there are questions about the 508 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,119 safety and security of our transit system and our city, 509 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,839 I do know there have been significant and sustained efforts 510 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,759 to address safety and security within our transit system and 511 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,759 across our city. Charlotte is by and large a safe 512 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,480 city by and large. That's that is what you want 513 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:41,480 to hear. That's an assurance right there. Cats by and 514 00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:45,400 large is a safe transit system. However, tragic incidents like 515 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,200 these should force us to look at what we are 516 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,799 doing across our community to address root causes. That's a lie. 517 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,880 You do not want to address the root causes. You 518 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,960 don't because the root causes. Lack of purpose among men 519 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,279 drives crime. Lack of dads and role models in young 520 00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:13,920 male lives drives crime. A culture that celebrates criminality and 521 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,000 the tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood TIV. You keep telling these 522 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:22,319 guys that they are victims and society is to blame 523 00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:27,160 and everything is built to oppose them and depress them. 524 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,000 And then you're like, I don't know why they get 525 00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:33,160 so frustrated and they lash out violently. You don't want 526 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,240 to address the root causes. You just want this to 527 00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:38,839 go away, so you get your tax passed.
