  Brad picked up the chemical set and put it in
• 0:14
  the middle of the table to hide the spot that
• 0:16
  he burned. Time was around 6 p .m. and Brad just
• 0:22
  wanted to go home. He left when he felt the lab
• 0:28
  was presentable and the alcoholic professor would
• 0:31
  not know the difference. Brad went home on the
• 0:34
  hopes of seeing and spending time with his mother
• 0:37
  and his younger sister, but he knew deep down
• 0:41
  in his heart he would not spend time with them.
• 0:45
  Not to his surprise, the house was totally empty
• 0:48
  when he arrived home. His mother spends most
• 0:52
  of her time with her new boyfriend, and she usually
• 0:56
  sends Brad's sister down the street with the
• 0:59
  neighbors. Brad found a bottle of Cranberry Al
• 1:04
  in the refrigerator that his mother bought for
• 1:07
  Christmas Day, and he drank half the bottle within
• 1:11
  an hour. He drank that fought off depression
• 1:16
  from being alone once again. In the meantime,
• 1:21
  Theo started to feel bad because of the way he
• 1:24
  ignored Brad. Theo checked his messages and heard
• 1:27
  Brad asking him to come to the lab and help clean
• 1:30
  up. Theo's aunt, uncle, and his girlfriend was
• 1:37
  due to be at his mom's house at 7 .30 p .m. for
• 1:40
  Christmas Eve get together. Theo headed out to
• 1:44
  the lab around 6 .30 to help Brad clean up. He
• 1:48
  knew that he was going to be late for the family
• 1:51
  Christmas Eve get together. but he did not want
• 1:55
  Brad to feel too mad at him. Theo arrived at
• 2:00
  their lab and hollered out for Brad as he walked
• 2:03
  back to the back. As he walked past the table,
• 2:15
  he slipped on a piece of paper. As he fell, the
• 2:22
  green and blue vial fell off the table onto his
• 2:24
  nose and mouth. At first, he had no idea what
• 2:29
  this was because it had a sweet taste. A few
• 2:34
  seconds later, it started to burn his nose and
• 2:36
  mouth. He grabbed a vial that contained clear
• 2:40
  liquid that he thought was water and drank it.
• 2:48
  This liquid caused him to vomit because it contained
• 2:51
  some roots from the afganiva plant. His nose
• 2:57
  and mouth were still burning and he was going
• 2:59
  crazy. As he ran across the street, he was putting
• 3:07
  snow in his mouth and nose. He ran up to a neighbor's
• 3:12
  door. screaming while banging on the door and
• 3:35
  the neighborhood watch couple peeked out of the
• 3:38
  window to see a black boy standing on the porch
• 3:40
  with his tongue hanging out covered in hair other
• 3:46
  neighbors were starting to peek out of the window
• 3:49
  and lock the doors dogs start barking cats start
• 3:53
  running and screeching boys doing in their suburban
• 4:04
  neighborhood a dark they wondered they did not
• 4:10
  know he had been living on Sweet Street for the
• 4:13
  past three years. Sweet Street was a couple of
• 4:19
  streets over from the house. Theo was just never
• 4:24
  seen because his family did a lot of things together
• 4:27
  around the house. His house had a large gated
• 4:31
  lot, swimming pool, tennis court and a home theater
• 4:35
  in the basement. Theo's house was at the top
• 4:39
  of the street so his family never had to go past
• 4:42
  the neighbor's street to get where they were
• 4:44
  going. The neighborhood couple only came out
• 4:48
  of the house to go to the doctor's office or
• 4:51
  to go to the monthly neighborhood watch sessions.
• 4:55
  H -O -A. You know how those are. Murder. This
• 5:06
  neighborhood was so quiet that the local police
• 5:09
  hardly had serious crime. Most of the calls they
• 5:13
  would get would be for idiotic reasons. Gladys
• 5:17
  called the police as soon as she saw a black
• 5:19
  boy on their porch. This couple was raised in
• 5:23
  a dirty South where the KKK and white supremacist
• 5:28
  group lived and practiced hatred against other
• 5:33
  races. Older people and their own parents raised
• 5:38
  them to believe that people of color were always
• 5:41
  up to no good. The policemen took their time
• 5:45
  going to the crime scene because they were too
• 5:48
  busy drinking and strip pub downtown and they
• 5:51
  figured It's just a nosy neighborhood couple
• 5:54
  calling for something minor. One time, they called
• 6:00
  when their neighbor's dog pooped on their freshly
• 6:07
  manicured lawn. Another time, they called was
• 6:12
  when the neighbor who lives on the right side
• 6:14
  of their house, showered some snow in their driveway.
• 6:18
  On accident, these kinds of time -wasting calls
• 6:22
  justified the officers taking their time responding
• 6:26
  to the call. During this long wait, Theo's situation
• 6:31
  became worse. He started to itch all over his
• 6:35
  body and hides were popping up under his nail
• 6:41
  bed. He started to scream, a high -pitched scream.
• 6:50
  The neighbors started to hold their ears. More
• 6:52
  neighbors began peeking out of their windows
• 6:54
  and coming outside to see what was going on.
• 6:57
  Angie lived down the street and she came out
• 7:03
  to see that Theo was in pain. She figured he
• 7:13
  must have gone to the lab and some chemicals
• 7:16
  spilled on his body. She did not feel much love
• 7:31
  for Theo because he would always be lit on her
• 7:35
  in front of Brad for no reason. But she felt
• 7:38
  sorry for him because no one else was trying
• 7:41
  to help. Angie started calling out for Theo to
• 7:45
  come with her to her house. Theo! Theo! But not
• 7:57
  covering him due to his constant crying out from
• 8:00
  his pain. away from that monkey. The neighbor
• 8:08
  shouted at her. Gladys, the wife of the nosy
• 8:12
  couple, shouted at the neighbors that they called
• 8:15
  the police a while ago, and they still were not
• 8:20
  there. The most prejudiced neighbor on the street
• 8:28
  asked her did they give the police the required
• 8:31
  information that would make this situation our
• 8:34
  priority. Gladys said, I will call back again
• 8:39
  and do that. One again. Police dispatch trying
• 9:02
  to help you. I caught earlier, imported a man
• 9:07
  on my porch, and no one has showed up yet. This
• 9:12
  is a Negro on my porch. The dispatcher ran the
• 9:17
  call through for the second time. This time,
• 9:29
  she told the police they have a NOC emergency.
• 9:40
  NOC means Negro Out of Control. This same code
• 9:47
  is used for every interzine we walk. involving
• 9:50
  a black person in this neighborhood. Do you know
• 9:54
  these same two policemen who ignored the car
• 9:57
  earlier left this strip club as soon as they
• 10:01
  heard the code word NOC? They were dying to kill
• 10:06
  a black person and this made it even sweeter
• 10:08
  because this was happening in a well -to -do
• 10:11
  area. They arrived at the scene in less than
• 10:18
  five minutes and this time they immediately withdrew
• 10:21
  their guns as soon as they got out of the car.
• 10:37
  Due to the high -pitched screaming coming from
• 10:43
  Theo, no one could hear what was coming out of
• 10:48
  the bullhorn. By this time, Angie was on a porch
• 10:52
  with Theo trying to calm him down. Theo could
• 10:55
  not recognize Angie because of the brown glaze
• 10:59
  over his eyes and her voice was not familiar
• 11:02
  to him. Theo thought she was one of the cops
• 11:05
  with the gun. So he started throwing his arms
• 11:08
  at her. You know, like a girl would fight most
• 11:12
  of the time. She kept backing up saying, Don't
• 11:16
  Theo, it's me Angie. Steve was shouting at the
• 11:21
  cops to kill him before he kills one of their
• 11:24
  people. The cops told Steve to back up and stay
• 11:29
  out of the way. The cops did not see a weapon
• 11:37
  on Theo, but they wanted to get rid of him in
• 11:40
  a bad way. They were trying to think of different
• 11:43
  scenarios they could use to justify killing an
• 11:47
  unarmed black man. After thinking of several
• 11:52
  ideas, they agreed on one. This is a last warning.
• 11:59
  Get down on the ground. A shot rang out, and
• 12:08
  several more followed. At the same time, Angie
• 12:14
  screamed, still close to the ground. Glass and
• 12:17
  her husband's house were filled with bullet holes.
• 12:22
  By this time, The policemen were at the door.
• 12:26
  Everyone in the house already took cover and
• 12:33
  went into a black room. Some policemen shouted,
• 12:44
  Hold your fire! Hold your fire! They were not
• 12:51
  the ones who just charged their guns. Some people
• 12:56
  thought that the nosy couple were the shooters.
• 13:03
  And a few policemen were on the verge of shooting
• 13:05
  back. Everyone outside started to look around
• 13:09
  to see he was doing the shooting. While everyone
• 13:11
  was looking around and having a brief conversation
• 13:14
  about what just happened, Theo got up and ran,
• 13:21
  leaving Angie on the porch. The man started shooting
• 13:28
  at Theo again, but they were a little too late.
• 13:39
  Theo ran like a brown cheetah off into the woods.
• 13:43
  The policeman told Angie that she did not have
• 13:46
  to take cover any longer and to get off of the
• 13:48
  ground. He also told her, that she needed to
• 13:52
  be checked for injuries. She did not respond
• 13:55
  or get up. They figured that she was stricken
• 13:59
  with panic and that's why she was frozen scared.
• 14:03
  Skyler's husband went over to help Angie stand
• 14:06
  up. As soon as he bent down, he noticed blood
• 14:08
  coming from her head. He shook her, but she did
• 14:13
  not move. He turned her over and it looked like
• 14:16
  her head had a big hole in it from a shotgun.
• 14:20
  He screamed, Someone killed the girl! After a
• 14:30
  few minutes, there was complete silence. It was
• 14:34
  so silent that you couldn't hear the lights because
• 14:36
  of the snow blowing and everyone breathing in
• 14:40
  the cool air. Everyone started looking around
• 14:53
  slowly at one another to see if they could figure
• 14:55
  out who the person was with the gun. One of the
• 15:00
  policemen radioed dispatch to get an ambulance
• 15:03
  to the scene. One of the EMTs that arrived Was
• 15:12
  on a job for 23 years and never saw anything
• 15:15
  like what he saw on this night He started to
• 15:19
  shake and mumble something that no one could
• 15:21
  understand Why this gray foam start to come out
• 15:29
  of his mouth and he ran from the porch back to
• 15:33
  his ambulance vehicle He was not able to care
• 15:36
  for the patient. So he told a rookie that was
• 15:40
  right on him to take care of her Patsy was the
• 15:44
  only on the job for five months and can handle
• 15:48
  just about anything. When Patsy stepped on the
• 15:53
  porch and saw Angie, even she was in disbelief.
• 16:00
  Patsy was a hard, tough female who wanted to
• 16:02
  impress everyone. She took a big gulp and applied
• 16:08
  pressure to Angie's head while she began to wrap
• 16:11
  it up. Once she wrapped Angie's head, she grabbed
• 16:16
  a sandwich bag out of her emergency case. place
• 16:21
  Angie's eyeball in it. The shotgun blast blew
• 16:26
  off one of Angie's eyeballs and the other one
• 16:30
  was hanging on by the laminate attached to her
• 16:34
  eye sockets. Patsy had a feeling Angie was dead
• 16:39
  but she had to do her best to try and save her
• 16:42
  life no matter what. In the meantime the police
• 16:46
  went door -to -door trying to determine who might
• 16:49
  have shot Angie. Two hours went by and still
• 16:53
  they had no luck. They were suspicious of a couple
• 16:57
  of people. By the way, they were acting. Steve,
• 17:01
  the neighbor who wanted the police to shoot Phil,
• 17:07
  would not open the door. He closed all of his
• 17:11
  curtains and turned out all of the lights in
• 17:15
  his house and garage. Andy's mother told the
• 17:20
  police she was glad that black boy was dead.
• 17:24
  because he disrespected Angie so many times that
• 17:27
  she forbid Theo from calling her house. Three
• 17:33
  hours passed and they still had no luck finding
• 17:36
  out who the shooter was. The policeman went home
• 17:40
  for the night. They will continue their investigation
• 17:45
  in the morning.
