  Speaker 1: Man, the dominoes are a fallen. I mean just this week,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: what is this Wednesday? Wednesday? We got the teacher with
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the kids rubbing the feet, we got the Whitehall City councilman.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We got sharone more up there at the University of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Michigan out. We got a former food pantry director from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Pickerington indicted. It's been something else. And this is a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: fairly late breaking story. It's fairly recent overall, my beloved
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to West Side and a loven year old child was killed.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You haven't been able to get away from that story.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But charges apparently filed against the fourteen year old that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the story to this point has been an accidental shooting.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But but there have been charges filed. Here's what I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: don't get and let me for the Channel six website
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: here as they have reported this, there's one line in
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the story that I'm kind of thrown by. Charges have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: been filed in the deadly accidental shooting case of an
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: eleven year old Amy Fraser. Fraser died on Monday evening
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: after getting shot Friday night in the two hundred block
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of Wheatland Avenue. I believe that is Southwhetland by the way.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: According to the Franken County Prosecutor's office. A charge of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: reckless homicide has been brought against the fourteen year old
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: cousin of Fraser, who allegedly shot the Westgate fifth grader.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The only complaint confirmed is against the team, with no
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: adults having confirmed charges being brought against them. Here's the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: one sentence in the story doesn't make sense. A warrant
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: is out for the boy's arrest, which I don't know.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Does that hit you the same way? Does it sound like, Okay,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we can't find him, he's fled, somebody's hiding him something
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like that. Yes, it does.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It sounds like maybe I don't know his family story.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Is he hiding out his cousins or did he leave
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: somebody take him out his tower?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That sounds weird. Yeah, just a warn out for him
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: arrest just sounds sounds odd because they.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Put that in things like a warrant is out for
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the arrest of an alleged, you know, home invader and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they haven't been able to find, not a fourteen year old,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: because that's not capable of getting into a car and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: driving cross country to run away.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, all you people that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: were got to give fake Nikes and fake Michael Cole
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stuff and all that for Christmas presents. US Customs and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Border Protection officers of the Rochester Port of Entry have
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: seized a significant shipment of counterfeit designer items, including watch issues, handbags, jewelry.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The items, which more counterfeit trademarks, were intercepted during a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: routine inspection. If genuine, the merchandise would have had a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: manufacturer suggest a retail price of about four hundred and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: twenty five dollars, so you know, if you were buying
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the flea market, it would have a value of like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: twelve bucks. But still people kill me when they go
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out and they get this, this fake stuff. You're not
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: going to buy a pair of Nike Jordan one of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the new ones is the Jaws or whatever.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: This can't be cheap. You're not gonna get in for
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: twenty nine ninety five. If you do, they are not real.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Have you ever Have you ever intentionally bought anything counterfeit? No,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not even on accident. I don't. I don't think I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have either. I'm pretty sure I have not, But I've
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: never intentionally purchased anything counterfeit. Have there, And I don't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: know why people would because honestly, you're not fooling anybody
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: who bothers to look.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: No, but where you buy? Are you if you're at
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a store and it's like somebody who doesn't follow fashion
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and the stores like a a secondhand store or something,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: or like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: One of these corner stores or something like that where
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they're selling.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Stuff, and I could see somebody who doesn't know any better.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: That's one thing now, other than that where you buy
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: them out of the back of a van, and you
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: should know better.
• 4:02

• 4:26
  Speaker 1: out it's a counterfeit, it's a fraud, it's a rip off.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Would would you call them out on it? Would you would?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Would you call them up and go, hey, what is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: what is this crap all about? Michael Michael Jordan is
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: standing on his head on these shoes. That's not how
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. But with no arm there, Jordan's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: not floor, Jordan's what what are you giving me here?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I would not do it if it was like my
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: grandma who didn't know any better, but even well nah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: not even not that. But if it was like my brother,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, DoD, what are you doing? You know
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: better than that? Where'd you get these from?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I see, I am of the and by the way,

• 5:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and six to ten WTV. And because I'm telling
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you right here, right now, right straight to your face.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I if it was senile grandmama who thought she was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: doing something nice and got taken no, But if it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: was somebody, you know, a friend of a family member
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that's old enough but not too old to know what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they're doing, and they intentionally gave me something fake, trying
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to pass it off, oh yes, I would call them
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: out absolutely. And I know there are people go well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: maybe they just they wanted to give you something nice,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: but they just they didn't have the money to buy it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Then don't get me something nice I'd prefer a sincere
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: card from the Dollar Tree with a note of holiday greetings.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And then then to get something intentionally fake because yeah,
• 6:06

  Speaker 2: The initial excitement that's important.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The rest just dies down. I just I don't know
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if I'm out of step with the rest of humanity
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: or not, because I know we want to be decent
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to one another, and you don't want to necessarily make somebody,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: somebody feel bad if it was a mistake, but if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it was if it was intentional and you know, dog gone,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: well it was intentional, and they really worked really hard
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to make you really think that they're really cool with you,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and they really wanted to get you really something that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: was really real and and it's fake. I'd say, you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have to you have to say something you But again,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just me. A two one ninety six A
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: two one WTV and we'll see what you folks think. Marie.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You're on six to ten double EUTV in High.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, there, well, I would absolutely say something. If it
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: was family or friends, I would be insulted, especially when
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: most people know when they're buying something cheap that isn't
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the real deal, and hey, just pay the money for
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the real thing or the quality thing. Same goes for
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: all these companies like Tamu she and you know, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: buy stuff and it looks like this Tommy Hillzig or
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: this thing or that thing, and it's not Oh yeah,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: and it falls apart in two seconds.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That's talk. If you're on that table line, quit buying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: This stuff online. It's from China and it's never going
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: to be get.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: If you're on that table orchine site and you're looking
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and you see like Ohio State Buckeyes material with the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: block oh and all that stuff, and it's it's five
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ninety nine for the sweatshirt. Trust me, first of all,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's not licensed that they're stealing the logo, and secondly
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's probably made from you know, like rat hair or something.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cheap and it will fall apart in two seconds.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't I don't know what makes people
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: think that. It's the same way when you travel, if
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: you go overseas, you see people standing out and you
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: know in squares and stuff selling this stuff. Oh this
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is this designer purse or whatever. You know, it's a knock.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's a road X. You do want a road x.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Y right right? So that's that's what I think.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I got you, Marie, thanks very much for backing me
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: up on that. I don't feel like an outcast now again.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I just I think it's Are you familiar with the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: word uncouth? Yes, I've been called up many, I see,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I would apply that to That's how I learned. It's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: just not cool. And as I say, people who know
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: what they're looking for when they look at the oh man,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's hey, wait a minute, they know they can spot
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the fake. And then you look like an it for
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: having the fake. So you know, it hurts you more
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: than it helps you to get that A two nine
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: eight eight six A two n w TV and Steve,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you're on six n WTVN Hi, Chuck, Yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I got a leather coat for Christmas one year, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: it was actually pleather. I never told anybody in the family.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows, nobody, you know, it just wasn't I didn't care, Chuck.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Did the person who got it for you did the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: person who got it for you though, did they did
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they represent it as being a real leather.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they told everybody. It's a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: leather coat. I got Steve a leather coat for Christmas. Yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: and uh, and that's fine. I mean, Chuck, I just
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to say it. If it had
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: been any other time or something, you know, I would
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: have I might have said, but for Christmas, I just
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: can't do it. I don't care. I really don't. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to be honest, I never even wore it. I gave
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: it away. I waited for about five years and gave
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it away.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to give somebody a pleathant coat,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but don't don't misrepresent what it is, right right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just couldn't do it, you know.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thanks very much. And like I told
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Marie that cheap stuff that she and stuff that tam
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: moo stuff. By the way, TEAMU when you would sign
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on there tamou however you pronounce it, they had that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you got to you know, spin oh look you got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: four hundred percent all and that kind of thing. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it was annoying now everybody's doing that. I don't know
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: if you've noticed or not, but you've got to go
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: through some stupid little game in order to order anything
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: anywhere from anybody. So anyway, I will buy that stuff
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: when I know it's like stuff to be destroyed, you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: know something for the kids that I know they're going
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to tear apart in the first week they have it. Sure,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: i'll buy that. I'll buy it, but I do so
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: knowing it's garbage and it's going to fall apart, probably
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: as fast as they can tear it up. Because kids,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: no matter if they like something, they still tear it up,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: at least they do in my world. I just I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: don't see four hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff seized
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in this one in this one operation. Can you imagine
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the millions, tens of millions of dollars of fake stuff
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: out there? And I know a kid, God, his heartbroken.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Somebody got him Nike shoes and he wore them to school,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and other kids at school they nailed him on it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if people like sneakers, those sneaker guys can
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: spot a fake a mile away.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: He was heartbroken. They nailed other kids when the other kids,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: oh man, when they see it and they're relentless. So seriously, yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: don't do this to somebody who you know is subject
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to ridicule, a kid, a teenager or whatever. They they've
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: got a lot of peer pressure out there. They don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: need it. You're not doing them any favors getting them
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: fake merchandise. But my question ultimately is if somebody did
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it to you, I mean, intentionally gave you something fake,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: represented it as something real, would you call them out,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Especially if they told everybody, like Steve was just saying,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: they told everybody they got me a leather jacket and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be plethor and if they told
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: everybody that they got you some designer thing or some
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: genuine jewels or or you know, actual real gold or what,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and it's it's, you know, just plated aluminum. If they
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: tell everybody, I see, I'm tempted to call them out
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in front of everybody too. Really, I mean, I'll knock
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you down off your off your high horse with the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: same audience you climbed up there.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: With plated aluminum.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
