Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Guys, after watching that debate last night, I think the
Speaker 2: only answer is we need.
Speaker 3: A Waltz and advanced campaign.
Speaker 2: Screw Trump and.
Speaker 1: Common I mean, they did seem to have a lot
Speaker 1: in common at least that's what they kept saying last night.
Speaker 2: Who lost last night was Donald Trump? Both of the
Speaker 2: candidates last night that they made Donald Trump sound like
Speaker 2: a grumpy old man who couldn't put thoughts together.
Speaker 1: This was a retro version of a presidential debate or
Speaker 1: vice presidential debate. This goes back to, you know, the
Speaker 1: old days when they would shake hands and they would
Speaker 1: be nice to each other and be dignified when they
Speaker 1: were giving when they were giving their arguments one way
Speaker 1: or the other, and they didn't boil down to personal attacks.
Speaker 4: So, you know, that was a nice thing to see.
Speaker 4: It was nice that that existed or still does exist.
Speaker 1: Over in New York, the NYPD has mobilized cops to
Speaker 1: houses of worship around that city. Iran, of course, fired
Speaker 1: almost two hundred rockets against Israel yesterday, and this enhanced
Speaker 1: deployment of police personnel in New York is set to
Speaker 1: extend through the High Holy Days, begins with rash Hashana
Speaker 1: at sunset and then includes through October seventh, of course,
Speaker 1: the year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel which
Speaker 1: sparked this.
Speaker 4: Whole conflict. In the beginning.
Speaker 1: Seven people were murdered yesterday dozens wounded in a terrorist
Speaker 1: attack at a light rail station in Jaffa, right about
Speaker 1: the time that the rockets started flying in from Iran.
Speaker 1: The two terrorists were shot dead by members of the
Speaker 1: municipal security patrol unit and citizens who were using their
Speaker 1: personal firearms there in Israel, President Biden is expected to
Speaker 1: travel to both North and South Carolina today to survey
Speaker 1: damage from the storm from Hurricane Helene. And it's not
Speaker 1: getting any better anytime soon.
Speaker 4: This is like a Katrina on steroids.
Speaker 5: We have people on oxygen that are completely out now
Speaker 5: Burly provided a single twelve hour tank.
Speaker 4: At most. We have babies up there with a formula.
Speaker 1: There's a reporter, Fox Weather reporter Jane Minar, who was
Speaker 1: out there in western North Carolina and described what she
Speaker 1: saw this morning.
Speaker 4: The debris is incredible.
Speaker 5: I did see just a couple of minutes ago, people
Speaker 5: on horseback, including a doctor that we're getting up into
Speaker 5: the hallers behind me to do welfare checks. As of
Speaker 5: where I stand right now, what I know in Wataga
Speaker 5: County here in North Carolina, two have been confirmed dead
Speaker 5: to landslides, but they are getting their power back and
Speaker 5: water boiled water advisories.
Speaker 4: Have been lifted.
Speaker 1: We are expecting to see some comments. Obviously, President Biden
Speaker 1: made some comments to Joint Bass Andrews before he left
Speaker 1: on Air Force one to head south to the Carolinus
Speaker 1: to see what's going on. So if he gets there
Speaker 1: and makes some comments, we will we'll at least listen
Speaker 1: in and see what he's going to say. We know
Speaker 1: the Vice President Harris also has taken some time away
Speaker 1: from the campaign trail to go down there. The death
Speaker 1: toll is now up over one sixty and there is
Speaker 1: a concern that we might not know the full death
Speaker 1: toll for a few years.
Speaker 4: And there's a couple different reasons.
Speaker 1: The FEMA administrator Dan Criswell said, we don't know that
Speaker 1: anybody could be fully prepared for the amount of flooding
Speaker 1: and landslides that they are experiencing right now. Because we're
Speaker 1: going to continue to see ongoing power outages, the cell
Speaker 1: phone outages, and as the reporter there was mentioning, there's
Speaker 1: literally people on horseback trying to find survivors, family members.
Speaker 1: We did a couple stories yesterday about how people were
Speaker 1: hiking several miles in order to get to their loved ones.
Speaker 1: According to the AP, more than one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: storm related fatalities in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and Virginia, but still hundreds of people unaccounted for, and
Speaker 1: the number of unaccounted for is expected to go up over.
Speaker 4: The next couple of days.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of a study that was published
Speaker 1: in the journal Nature says we could see the numbers
Speaker 1: rise for years. They looked at the effects of more
Speaker 1: than five hundred tropical storms that have hit the United
Speaker 1: States between nineteen thirty and twenty fifteen, and they looked
Speaker 1: at the difference in the mortality rates before and after
Speaker 1: the storms and tracked what they call excess deaths. You
Speaker 1: remember that term, probably from the COVID times. They wanted
Speaker 1: to see how many people would die above the usual
Speaker 1: monthly average and how long that increased rate of death continued,
Speaker 1: and they found that on average, each tropical storm event
Speaker 1: caused seven to eleven thousand excess deaths because of the
Speaker 1: health effect that persist after initial landfall. I mean, they said,
Speaker 1: we thought there would be six months of delayed effects,
Speaker 1: maybe a year, but they said it kept going and
Speaker 1: it started to decline about fifteen years after the storm.
Speaker 1: The impact of a storm like this cannot be understated. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the immediate impacts, I mean, since that since that storm
Speaker 1: made landfall last week, we're talking about a week later,
Speaker 1: almost a week later, and people don't have power, they
Speaker 1: don't have natural gas, they don't have gasoline, they don't
Speaker 1: have electricity, they don't have water, they don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to get around, they don't have communication. And we're
Speaker 1: talking about a week later. Now, that's not necessarily going
Speaker 1: to cause people to die, because the direct deaths that
Speaker 1: are attributed to a storm like this, you get hit
Speaker 1: by debris, you're in a car accident, you drown, something
Speaker 1: like that. But then you've got indirect deaths, and they
Speaker 1: don't often count these indirect deaths when they give an
Speaker 1: official death toll. Things like ongoing health problems, economic problems,
Speaker 1: social changes, even that are caused by a disaster. So,
Speaker 1: for example, this is an example they use for an
Speaker 1: indirect death. If someone drains their bank account in order
Speaker 1: to rebuild their house or their property or whatever business,
Speaker 1: they may not be able to pay for the health
Speaker 1: care that they need in the future, or if they
Speaker 1: have to relocate, they might not have the same social
Speaker 1: network that they rely on for future health emergencies. And
Speaker 1: we've talked many, many times, not specifically about storms like this,
Speaker 1: but how important a social network is to maintaining your
Speaker 1: good health. Then you have the ongoing environmental factors. You
Speaker 1: have the continuing danger of environmental factors that are impacted
Speaker 1: by storms. The stress of surviving a storm itself may
Speaker 1: take a toll, especially if you older, especially if you've
Speaker 1: already got some sort of compromised health that you're dealing with.
Speaker 1: They said tropical storms contribute to more deaths than those
Speaker 1: from motor vehicle accidents or infectious diseases in the eighty
Speaker 1: five years that they tracked again, going back to the
Speaker 1: going back to nineteen thirty, and they said that builds
Speaker 1: on this growing body of work that says that hurricanes
Speaker 1: could be significant drivers of public health crises, not just
Speaker 1: the days and week or two weeks after a hurricane,
Speaker 1: but as long as several years, so we may see
Speaker 1: the toll on this continued a rise. Well, a judge
Speaker 1: says he is going to take under submission this proposal
Speaker 1: to release a sexually violent serial predator known as the
Speaker 1: Pillowcase rapist in the Antelope Valley. Our own Michael Monks
Speaker 1: is covering the story for us. Michael, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning Gary. Yes, this was a very short hearing,
Speaker 3: in spite of all the build up to it and
Speaker 3: all the collection of those letters from the community, including
Speaker 3: elected officials like County Supervisor Catherine Barger, La County District
Speaker 3: Attorney George Gascone. It lasted about twenty minutes, and what
Speaker 3: we heard were a lot more arguments against releasing Christopher
Speaker 3: Hubbart into the community of Juniper Hills where people have
Speaker 3: dealt with the situation before and don't want to deal
Speaker 3: with it again. So we even heard the La County
Speaker 3: Sheriff's Department say, look, the last time Christopher Hubbart was
Speaker 3: released before he was put back in prison because he
Speaker 3: was failing some of the you know, the ramifications they
Speaker 3: put on.
Speaker 4: His on his release.
Speaker 3: They said we had to go to his house three
Speaker 3: times a day because of protests and other disruptions. And
Speaker 3: Juniper Hills is even farther away from the Palmdale area
Speaker 3: where this happened originally, like it would take hours to
Speaker 3: respond to these things over and over. Please don't put
Speaker 3: him in Juniper Hills. We don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: The judge took everything under advisement and now we await
Speaker 3: that ruling. Is there a is there a mechanism for
Speaker 3: him to stay in a state facility? I know he
Speaker 3: was at Coalinga for.
Speaker 1: A while, the state hospital there, But is there a
Speaker 1: mechanism for guys like this where there is no viable
Speaker 1: alternative for him to live amongst the public, to just
Speaker 1: stay on state property. Well, we have to keep in
Speaker 1: mind that the case in La County is specifically about
Speaker 1: the location of his release. It's not about whether the
Speaker 1: Pillow case rapist is going to get out of prison.
Speaker 1: That was a decision that came out of a different
Speaker 1: county court in Santa Clara, and in that ruling, the
Speaker 1: decision was specifically to place them in La County. So
Speaker 1: that's what we're dealing with here, so regardless of what
Speaker 1: other mechanisms excuse me, mechanisms may be at play. The
Speaker 1: judge in the Hollywood courthouse yesterday made it clear we're
Speaker 1: only talking about the location. So if there is somebody
Speaker 1: higher up or in another department of the state prison system,
Speaker 1: we might hear from them at another time, especially if
Speaker 1: Juniper Hills doesn't work out and they start talking about
Speaker 1: another alternative. I can't imagine any community rising up and saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay with us. Is there any way to appeal
Speaker 1: a rule like this from the judge? In terms of
Speaker 1: the local politicians you mentioned, the state county supervisor, the
Speaker 1: district attorney, the sheriff's department, they've all had problems with this.
Speaker 3: What we've heard so far from folks like that district
Speaker 3: attorney sheriff's office was speak out against it. That seems
Speaker 3: to be the appeal, not in the legal sense, but
Speaker 3: in the public relations sense. Make an appeal to persuade
Speaker 3: the judge not to place this person in Juniper Hills.
Speaker 3: So this is a very rural area, of course, in
Speaker 3: La County. The judge said, listen, I understand I'm taking
Speaker 3: all of your notes hundreds of them into consideration here
Speaker 3: as we make this decision. But he also noted it's
Speaker 3: difficult to place what is considered a sexually violent predator
Speaker 3: and SVP because of all the rules around where of
Speaker 3: those folks can be located. So it does limit where
Speaker 3: you can be in a place like La County. You've
Speaker 3: got to find some place out in the sticks. So
Speaker 3: we'll just be waiting to see how this plays out.
Speaker 1: In terms of the numbers, they said thousands of rental
Speaker 1: properties and only one of them would have fit the
Speaker 1: criteria that would have been found exactly.
Speaker 3: That's the challenge that the judge faces because this guy's
Speaker 3: a bad guy, Christopher Hubbard. I mean, there's no question
Speaker 3: about that. He's been sentenced three times over three different
Speaker 3: decades for rapes and other sexual offenses, and was released
Speaker 3: to the Palmdale area several years ago, and you know,
Speaker 3: had to undergo some tests and some light detector tests.
Speaker 3: Did not reoffend in the violent sense, but did fail
Speaker 3: some of those examinations, and so they put him back
Speaker 3: into a controlled population. But you know, now he's seventy four,
Speaker 3: and folks still seem to be concerned whether he could
Speaker 3: fit inside their community.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Michael, thank you appreciate it. Mike Pleacher, Gary,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Christopher Hubbard was convicted in nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 1: Was he would have been twenty three at the time
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. He was convicted in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1: He was convicted in nineteen ninety in La count and
Speaker 1: up in northern California for a series of at least
Speaker 1: forty four zero forty rapes and other sex crimes. He
Speaker 1: got the nickname the pillowcase rapist because he was using
Speaker 1: apparently pillowcases to muffle screams of his victims. Detained as
Speaker 1: a sexually violent predator and committed to this Department of
Speaker 1: State Hospitals twenty plus years ago and then released from
Speaker 1: Coalinga in July of twenty fourteen, assigned to live in
Speaker 1: an area around Palmdale, despite the fact that people there
Speaker 1: hated the idea, and then of course violated his conditions.
Speaker 4: And it is going to be sent.
Speaker 1: Back President Biden, Vice President Harris visiting the southeast today
Speaker 1: to get some more look at the damage from Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 1: The President will fly over we believe North and South
Speaker 1: Carolina today and then Vice president Harris is going to
Speaker 1: be in Georgia.
Speaker 4: A couple things coming up by the way this weekend.
Speaker 1: I am going to be hosting the Walk to End
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's in Irvine Saturday morning. That event starts at eight
Speaker 1: in the morning. You can go to the local Orange
Speaker 1: County Alzheimer's Association to either sign up or register or
Speaker 1: donate however you want to do it. And also Moll
Speaker 1: Kelly is going to be I'm seeing an event Saturday night,
Speaker 1: the Blue Door Bash gallop for the Boys and Girls
Speaker 1: Club of Carson at SOFI Stadium Saturday night, six pm.
Speaker 4: There's a link to donate.
Speaker 1: You can fit on some of the auction items that
Speaker 1: are there when you go to BGC Carson Boys Girls
Speaker 1: Club Boy BGC Carson dot Org.
Speaker 4: On the south.
Speaker 1: Side of the one thirty four right in Pasadena, there
Speaker 1: appears to be a stack of liquid containing vials and
Speaker 1: that liquid appears to be human urine. They have been
Speaker 1: accumulating in that little area because of what some people
Speaker 1: in Pasadena refer to as the Ppe bandit. Although they
Speaker 1: use a word I'm not even I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to use on the air.
Speaker 4: So I shan't, but I can also not say shan't.
Speaker 1: A mystery man has a penchant for placing full bottles
Speaker 1: of urine on a specific box, a specific electrical box
Speaker 1: on Colorado Boulevard. And they said, for years this thing
Speaker 1: has been going on this random electrical box. Now there
Speaker 1: are a couple of movie makers, self appointed documentarians, they say,
Speaker 1: who have devoted themselves to figuring out who is doing it.
Speaker 1: There's a guy, Derek Milton, dressed as a construction worker
Speaker 1: and he's a filmmaker, even though he looks like a
Speaker 1: construction guy, came to the side of the one thirty
Speaker 1: four to figure out exactly what's going on. He said,
Speaker 1: they have to dress like a construction team because they
Speaker 1: have to be incognito to maybe catch this guy in
Speaker 1: the act. They don't want to be mistaken by passing
Speaker 1: drivers and pedestrians for the person who's actually the PP bandit.
Speaker 4: That would be a real situation, they said.
Speaker 1: The disguises are one of the recurring bits in this
Speaker 1: six part documentary that they've put on TikTok. The short
Speaker 1: films have made minor stars of these two filmmakers, and
Speaker 1: the first installment has drawn more than six million views,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because they say they've also been recognized
Speaker 1: in airports and restaurants, even though somebody doesn't know who
Speaker 1: they are necessarily, but they say, I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 1: So they said their goal is not to publicly identify
Speaker 1: who the PP bandit is, but to figure out and
Speaker 1: understand perhaps the motives of the PP bandit.
Speaker 4: However you would figure that out.
Speaker 1: They do believe it's a man, I mean, obviously, just
Speaker 1: in terms of the plumbing and the let's see the
Speaker 1: way it is you get urine into a bottle like that.
Speaker 1: It's easier for a brother to do it than a
Speaker 1: sister to do it, shall we say?
Speaker 4: And as Gavin Newsom told us one time.
Speaker 1: Not all peepee times are poop poo times, but all
Speaker 1: poop poo times are peepee times.
Speaker 4: Right, So there's that now.
Speaker 1: They said that there was a thing that maybe this
Speaker 1: was a drop off point, maybe the Peepie bandit was
Speaker 1: actually in business where he was selling his or someone's
Speaker 1: clean urine, and that that was the drop off spot.
Speaker 4: Like some spy novel.
Speaker 1: I'll leave it on the Pasadena Water and Power Electrical
Speaker 1: box on Colorado Boulevard. It'll be in a UHU bottle
Speaker 1: or something like that. Others thought that this thing contained
Speaker 1: liquefied dru uggs as a way to do it. Some
Speaker 1: people believe that the urine isn't actually urine, so the
Speaker 1: two filmmakers dispelled these doubts by performing a urinalysis and
Speaker 1: a drug test on one of the bottles, and they
Speaker 1: did find yes, in fact, human urine, not one trace
Speaker 1: of drugs, so it was clean. When asked why they
Speaker 1: were willing to do a urinalysis on some bottle of urine,
Speaker 1: one of the guys said, I suffer from insomnia. The
Speaker 1: other guy says in the video that sorry, not insomnia
Speaker 1: and nasmia and nasmia, which means he has no sense
Speaker 1: of smell. So the guy without the sense of smell
Speaker 1: can crack that thing open and not be bothered by
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a urine smell, very strong urine smell.
Speaker 1: So they said that they wanted to figure out all
Speaker 1: of what was going on. When a reporter for the
Speaker 1: La Times joined them, there were thirteen bottles full of
Speaker 1: liquid in varying hues from the worryingly dark amber to
Speaker 1: a hydrated light gold, and they said it was probably
Speaker 1: a week's worth of urine. The reasons they were there
Speaker 1: were twofold and reading from the part from the piece
Speaker 1: in the l Times, it says they were installing new
Speaker 1: cameras inside a subway cup, a dryer's ice cream tub,
Speaker 1: and a fake shrub. They would place the cameras in
Speaker 1: the vicinity of the electrical box in hopes of capturing
Speaker 1: video of the man behind the bottles. The second reason
Speaker 1: they were there was to see the handiwork because water
Speaker 1: and power there in department. The Department of Water and
Speaker 1: Power for Pasadena had installed a pyramid of metal on
Speaker 1: top of the electrical box in order to stop the
Speaker 1: band its rain of liquid terror.
Speaker 4: The pyramid, a few days later was gone.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was pried off using a crowbar, and the
Speaker 1: bottles of urine were once again there. Sounds like somebody
Speaker 1: either has a very great sense of humor or there's
Speaker 1: a weird mental issue going on where this is a
Speaker 1: way that this guy gets some joy out of doing
Speaker 1: this and placing his urine on an electrical box for
Speaker 1: the world to see. It doesn't make a whole lot
Speaker 1: of sense, but it does make some sense. Not that
Speaker 1: I would do that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: I would take a gatorade bottle. Anyway you got to
Speaker 1: get a well, it doesn't matter. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into the specifics, just say gatorade bottle. Justin Warsham's
Speaker 1: going to join us in studio. We'll be talking about parenting.
Speaker 1: We have what you watching Wednesday coming up a little
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. One of the big stories
Speaker 1: over the weekend will be that former President Trump is
Speaker 1: headed right back to Butler, Pennsylvania, and this is where
Speaker 1: he was shot at back in July. The assassination attempt
Speaker 1: was felt pretty deeply there in Butler County, especially considering
Speaker 1: there were federal agencies that were pointing at local cops
Speaker 1: and local cops who are pointing at federal agencies. He
Speaker 1: being Trump, he does have a lot of support there.
Speaker 1: Many are expecting a very large crowd at that farm
Speaker 1: show property west of town, which is where he was
Speaker 1: when that assassin assassination attempt went down. Some residents have
Speaker 1: said that they're still concerned about that. Butler County Commissioner
Speaker 1: Kim Geyers she's not going to let any mixed emotions
Speaker 1: keep her away from some Saturday's rally. Some manufacturers and
Speaker 1: retailers are hoping that President Biden invokes the Taft Hartley
Speaker 1: Act of nineteen forty seven as a way to suspend
Speaker 1: a strike by the thousands of dock workers that has
Speaker 1: shut down thirty six ports from Maine to Texas. This
Speaker 1: is a law that authorizes the president to get a
Speaker 1: court order for an eighty day cooling off period for
Speaker 1: companies and unions to try to resolve their differences. Biden
Speaker 1: has said up to this point he is not going
Speaker 1: to intervene in this strike, although that could change, especially
Speaker 1: considering the possibility of it impacting the economy to the
Speaker 1: tune of billions of dollars and reversing what we have seen,
Speaker 1: which has been a decline in inflation. We could see
Speaker 1: that jump back up if this thing lasts for any
Speaker 1: significant amount of time. The LAPD has been asking for
Speaker 1: the public's help in the last couple of weeks trying
Speaker 1: to find some people involved in a series of flash
Speaker 1: mob style robberies at seven elevens here in la and
Speaker 1: they have put out different images, some video, some still
Speaker 1: images of incidents that happened between July twelfth and September twentieth.
Speaker 1: They said fourteen separate robberies across ten different seven elevens
Speaker 1: in the Rampart Division Hollywood Wilshire West, LA divisions, and
Speaker 1: in each instance, the group of a couple dozen a
Speaker 1: few dozen teenagers it looks like, roll up to the
Speaker 1: stores on bicycles in the evening hours, say six, seven,
Speaker 1: eight o'clock something like that, and then steal a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff and throw a bunch of the displays onto
Speaker 1: the ground and they leave without paying.
Speaker 4: Duh.
Speaker 1: They usually consist, they say, between twenty and forty youthful males.
Speaker 1: That's a LAPD term youthful males, and they appear to
Speaker 1: be teenagers. Witnesses have told authorities that they haven't been hurt,
Speaker 1: but they do fear for their safety some of the
Speaker 1: physical some of the suspects have physically pushed people, but
Speaker 1: that has not resulted in any injuries, at least no
Speaker 1: reported injuries to this point. In a news release that
Speaker 1: came out just last week, the LAPD said for the
Speaker 1: first time, the string of robberies was connected to one
Speaker 1: individual group and that thirteen of those fourteen robberies occurred
Speaker 1: on Friday nights. So you can imagine that this maybe
Speaker 1: narrows down the type of suspect or the persons that
Speaker 1: would be involved in this. And then during a meeting
Speaker 1: of the LA Police Commissioners, the LA Bord of Police
Speaker 1: Commissioners and Assistant Chief Blake Chow told the commissioners surveillance
Speaker 1: footage and press releases given to the media late last
Speaker 1: month had an immediate impact and said that they got
Speaker 1: all kinds of tips that came in from the public
Speaker 1: that led to several arrests. He went on to say
Speaker 1: that on September twenty sixth, the Organized Retail Crime Task
Speaker 1: Force responded to the Northeast area where and this is
Speaker 1: the best part of the day. This should make everybody smile.
Speaker 1: A parent brought their juvenile child in who was involved
Speaker 1: in a flash robbery.
Speaker 4: The child was booked for robbery.
Speaker 1: On September twenty eighth, another parent in the Southwest area
Speaker 1: brought their child into the station. That juvenile was booked
Speaker 1: for robbery in connection with the seven eleven flash robbery.
Speaker 1: September twenty ninth, a similar situation occurred in the seventy
Speaker 1: seventh district where a parent turned their child in and
Speaker 1: that juvenile booked for robbery. The Assistant Chief Chow added
Speaker 1: that investigators learned through interviews that many of these juveniles
Speaker 1: involved in the seven eleven flash robberies were not from
Speaker 1: those neighborhoods where the crimes occurred, not a huge surprise.
Speaker 1: The Assistant chief said that more arrests are anticipated. The
Speaker 1: anonymous tips continue to come in. School resource officers are
Speaker 1: also now working to identify some of the other juveniles involved.
Speaker 4: I said this to my kids.
Speaker 1: Obviously, I made the assumption that my son would more
Speaker 1: likely be involved in nefarious actions than my daughter would
Speaker 1: be because I'm a I don't know, misogynist, whatever term
Speaker 1: you want to use. I also was a teenage boy
Speaker 1: at a time it was probably more inclined to break
Speaker 1: the law than either one of my sisters was. But
Speaker 1: I said to them, if I believe you're innocent of something,
Speaker 1: I will go and defend you to my core. Whatever
Speaker 1: it takes, money, resources, whatever we have, whatever strings we
Speaker 1: can pull, I will do so if I believe you're innocent.
Speaker 1: But if you do something so stupid, and if you
Speaker 1: do something so blatant that I can't defend you in
Speaker 1: good conscience, it's all on you. And I said to
Speaker 1: my kids multiple times, and they will both tell you
Speaker 1: this that they remember me saying this.
Speaker 4: I don't do bail.
Speaker 1: Oh, i'll visit you, I'll come see you in the
Speaker 1: lock up, but I don't do bail. If you're mature
Speaker 1: enough to make a stupid decision, then you're mature enough
Speaker 1: to make your own bail. Now in these cases, chances
Speaker 1: are these guys get booked for robbery and then released
Speaker 1: on their own recognizance or released to the custody of
Speaker 1: their parents. It's not like they're going to do you know,
Speaker 1: two to five up in fulsome like this. In the
Speaker 1: event that something like this happens, these are kids. The
Speaker 1: LAPD knows. These are dumb kids doing dumb things. At
Speaker 1: this point, nobody's been hurt, luckily, so that does diminish
Speaker 1: the likelihood that they're going to see jail time. They're
Speaker 1: going to be on probation, maybe they spend a couple
Speaker 1: nights in some juvenile facility, whatever it is, which they should,
Speaker 1: because this is the thing that needs to happen.
Speaker 4: You need to scare people.
Speaker 1: You need to scare teenage boys away from a life
Speaker 1: of crime where they think they can get away with
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. But the idea that you would
Speaker 1: not turn your kid in is abhorrent. If you saw
Speaker 1: your kid's face on the video or on a still
Speaker 1: image taken from one of these seven to elevens punching
Speaker 1: each other in the arm, thinking that this is the
Speaker 1: way that you're going to celebrate a Friday Night is
Speaker 1: by destroying a small business like that seven to eleven
Speaker 1: arguably not a small business, but a franchise owner is
Speaker 1: going to take it in the shorts because of you.
Speaker 1: And the thing is some of these stores were hit
Speaker 1: multiple times. If you saw your kid there and you
Speaker 1: did not turn them in, then whatever happens to them
Speaker 1: is completely on you. They're going to turn into an
Speaker 1: absolute drain on society, and it's going to be entirely
Speaker 1: your fault. You are the bad person, not just your kid.
