- 0:30Speaker 3: seventy four year old man named David Lassiter of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about the age of seventy four.
- 0:37Speaker 3: When you seventy four, you are absolutely old enough to
- 0:40Speaker 3: know better, but you are also old enough to not
- 0:42Speaker 3: give a damn. And this seventy four year old o
- 0:44Speaker 3: g David lassa that does not give a damn. When
- 0:46Speaker 3: you get to a certain age, your levels of I
- 0:48Speaker 3: don't give a f rise higher than your cholesterol. And
- 0:51Speaker 3: this is what happened to David. Lasted to see David
- 0:53Speaker 3: went to do his civic duty on Tuesday night and
- 0:56Speaker 3: he went out and voted. Okay, He went to a
- 0:58Speaker 3: polling place at a local church and he lost the
- 1:00Speaker 3: wallet there seventy four.
- 1:02Speaker 1: You know old easy to misplace things.
- 1:03Speaker 3: I'm forty five and sometimes I look for my phone
- 1:05Speaker 3: to make a call while I'm simultaneously on Instagram, and
- 1:08Speaker 3: guess what, I only got one phone, So I can
- 1:11Speaker 3: understand misplacing your wallet at that age. So he retraced
- 1:13Speaker 3: his footsteps, went back to the polling place and found
- 1:15Speaker 3: his wallet. But Grandpa said one hundred dollars was missing
- 1:19Speaker 3: from his wallet when he found it, a hundred dotless. Okay,
- 1:23Speaker 3: So he called the police, and I guess the police
- 1:25Speaker 3: weren't telling him what he wanted to hear, so he
- 1:27Speaker 3: decided to take matters in his own hand.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Why am I telling you this story? Let's go to
- 1:31Speaker 1: ABC twenty seven for the report.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Police that was the worst, the worst selection day in
- 1:35Speaker 4: Sharon Neil's ten years working as a poll worker at
- 1:38Speaker 4: Covenant Community Church. Police say seventy five year old David
- 1:41Speaker 4: Lassiter went to vote and left his wallet behind.
- 1:44Speaker 5: And upon him returning to retrieve it, he realized there
- 1:47Speaker 5: was one hundred dollars missing.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Police say Lassiter left and said he would come back
- 1:51Speaker 4: with a gun. They talked to him on the phone.
- 1:53Speaker 5: The gooser's made attempts to convince mister Lassiter and it
- 1:56Speaker 5: wouldn't be in everyone's best interest if he was to
- 1:58Speaker 5: show up at the polling station with a firearm as
- 2:01Speaker 5: well as with bad intentions.
- 2:02Speaker 6: Mister Lasser seems to think we took the money. You
- 2:05Speaker 6: were the one that was trying to give in his
- 2:07Speaker 6: wallet back. One of the voters took case money.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Police say that used to be true based on video
- 2:13Speaker 4: evidence and what's definitely true according to witnesses.
- 2:17Speaker 6: He returned, and he returned to the point where he
- 2:19Speaker 6: had his car pulled up to the gate where nobody
- 2:22Speaker 6: could get in or nobody could come out.
- 2:24Speaker 5: That's just a Lasser appeared the point of handgun at
- 2:26Speaker 5: one of the Mark police units that was on scene.
- 2:28Speaker 4: They arrested him for making terroristic threats and searched his car.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Seven weapons were recovered through this incident.
- 2:35Speaker 6: He had enough guns in his car to just do
- 2:39Speaker 6: a massacre.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Old enough to know better seventy four, which is why
- 2:44Speaker 3: he's getting the biggest He are, but also old enough
- 2:46Speaker 3: to not give a damn. So you get to a
- 2:47Speaker 3: certain age, and it's all about the principal. It ain't
- 2:49Speaker 3: about one hundred dollars. Okay, it ain't about the one
- 2:52Speaker 3: hundred dollars, all right, it ain't about the one hundred dollars.
- 2:54Speaker 1: It's about the principle.
- 2:56Speaker 3: You get to a certain age and you truly understand
- 2:58Speaker 3: the value of money, all right, the same way Kodak
- 3:00Speaker 3: Black understands the value of a dollar.
- 3:01Speaker 1: So does this og. So how dare you steal from
- 3:04Speaker 1: a man who's been.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Eligible for free pancakes that I hopped for well over
- 3:07Speaker 3: twenty years? All right, that's all this is about his principal.
- 3:10Speaker 3: He's seventy four.
- 3:10Speaker 1: He don't got time to play with folks. So he
- 3:13Speaker 1: came back with his nine milimeters.
- 3:14Speaker 2: What's popping? Cuz do we have a problem here?
- 3:17Speaker 3: First thing he saw was an empty police car, so
- 3:19Speaker 3: he pointed the pistol at the empty police call.
- 3:21Speaker 1: That was just pure anger and frustration.
- 3:23Speaker 3: I called y'all to help me, and y'all acted like
- 3:26Speaker 3: it was nothing that can be done. So now y'all
- 3:28Speaker 3: opts two fun fact though not only was the police
- 3:31Speaker 3: car empty, So was his gun all right? Police later
- 3:35Speaker 3: found the pistol was unloaded, all right, and that last
- 3:37Speaker 3: of that had a loaded magazine on his waist.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Though. Now this is how you know it was just
- 3:41Speaker 1: about the principal.
- 3:42Speaker 3: David had high emotions, they said, when he came back
- 3:44Speaker 3: to the Poland place, and he wanted to confront people.
- 3:47Speaker 3: You heard what was just said on the news report.
- 3:48Speaker 3: He wanted to confront people inside the church. Who got
- 3:51Speaker 3: my one hundred dollars? One of y'all in it got
- 3:53Speaker 3: my money, and I'm not leaving until somebody gives it up.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Police somehow got him to calm down, and that's when
- 3:58Speaker 3: they searched his car and learned this man had so
- 4:00Speaker 3: much artillery, so many weapons ready for war, that you
- 4:04Speaker 3: would think the US government was funding him.
- 4:06Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:06Speaker 3: This man had seven firearms, a two two three rifle,
- 4:10Speaker 3: a twelve gage shotgun, a thirty eight of four to sixty,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and two pistols.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Of unknown callibles.
- 4:18Speaker 3: That means they might have been so old that officers.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Didn't even know what they can do.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Okay, he might've had a handcanning from the thirteen hundreds
- 4:27Speaker 3: and a musket, all right. Police took his nine and
- 4:29Speaker 3: his evidence and put the rest away for safekeeping.
- 4:32Speaker 1: And now O G.
