  Speaker 1: Well, here we go. The cat in the hat. I
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: tell you real quick, the cat in the hat, apparently
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: it's one of these kid things going around on the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: social media, the TikTok, the Snapchat and all that. The
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: cat in the hat trend. Are you seeing this? You
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: know what this is? Do I want to know? I mean,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's they're dressing, you know, like the cat in the hat.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: But then they're they're lurking outside of your home, looking
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in your windows at night, stuff like that. Kids are
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: going to get shot. It's going to happen. It's going
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to happen. So if your kid, you know, suddenly wants
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a cat in the hat, top hat or something, just
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: say no. Just say no. This is, you know, it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: another one of those stupid like door dash or door.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: What do they call that? Uh, where they knock on
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your door and run. What do you call it? Ding
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: dong ditch. Thank you. Um, yeah, it's, it's just, it's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: another way for kids to do stupid stuff. And in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the world as it is today, people react strongly and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: strongly could get you hurt. So seriously, I mean that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: if your kids say, oh, can I get a cat
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in the top hat? No. Nope. And you know what
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they're looking at, and you know what they're planning, so
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: don't let them. Speaking of kids, and I don't know
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: why this is not getting nearly the play here in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Central Ohio as it seems to be getting in Cincinnati
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and in Cleveland, but the robbery, at least 11 members
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of the Glenville High School football team And they say
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: including nine juveniles, which means there were two adults. How
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: can you be a member of the Glenville High School
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: football team and be an adult? You've been flunking. Your
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: grades were too low. Why are you an adult and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on a high school football team anyway? NIL money. Couldn't
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: get enough in college. Nine juveniles, two adults from the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Glenville High School football team facing theft charges after more
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: than $ 4, 500 worth of merchandise. was stolen from Dick's Sporting
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Goods down in Grove City. Stores on Stringtown Road theft
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: happened on Thursday before Glenville's football game against Olentangy Liberty.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Olentangy Liberty is way up north, Delaware County. What the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: hell were they doing in Grove City? Police say the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: team had traveled from Cleveland for the matchup. New surveillance
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: video released by the Grove City Police shows players inside
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the store near the changing rooms and merchandise shelves. The
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: video was outside the changing room, kind of at the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: back corner of the store. Lieutenant Jason Stern said you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: could see just what it looked like. Kids were walking
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: every which direction, picking things up on the shelves. Police
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: say the stolen items included clothing, cleats, other gear. Two
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: adults charged are Ty Martin and Eason Hankins. The nine
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: others are all under the age of 18. We didn't just,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or why didn't just one of them say, this is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not what we're about. We're not going to do this today,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: said the police officer. They had team coaches, one player
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: cooperated with the investigation. According to the police report, two
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: bags of stolen merchandise were returned. This is where Ted
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Ginn's dad, Ted Ginn Sr., is a coach. They got
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a remarkable reputation. He has a remarkable reputation. And I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised. I mean, we'll have to see
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: how it washes out. But we're just beginning the football season.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to see him forfeit the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: season if it means just getting rid of all these kids.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: They tarnished the school. They tarnished the football program. They
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: tarnished the reputation and the legacy of a legendary Ohio coach.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You don't do that. And this wasn't a kid. This
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't a couple of kids. This was 11 members of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the team. And again, Olentangy, that's up there in Delaware County.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So they come down from Glenville, which is, that's like
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cleveland area, isn't it? Glenville High School. I'm pretty sure
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that's up near Cleveland. So they come down to Delaware. How...
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: How did they get from Delaware down to Grove City?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: They had an adult driver. They had to be. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: somebody somebody was keeping an eye on things when they
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: should have been. Every one of these kids deserves serious repercussions.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And the school. The school will have to make their
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: decision on what they're going to do. Worthington schools. As
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you heard in our newscast, getting rid of the flock cameras,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: because that's all the rage these days. Because the kids
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: apparently instigated this. The license plate reading flock cameras. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the students, the students apparently applied the appropriate amount of pressure.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Superintendent said the potential benefits on the license plate readers
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: are not worth the potential impact on public trust. That's stupid.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We keep talking about we have to protect our kids
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: at all costs. We have to protect our schools. We
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have to lock down the doors. There have to be
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: security guards. We need metal detectors. And then you've got
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a camera there so that if somebody shows up, drives
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: up to the school, decides they're going to do a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: drive-by on your school, you don't want a camera to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get the license plate number? The cameras aren't in the bathrooms,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for goodness sake. They're outside. And with all the publicity
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this gets, do you think somebody's not going to take
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: advantage now of the fact, hey, they took out the cameras,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: let's go do something? I'm not all that bright, but
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I know human nature way better than apparently these PhDs do.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: This is a mistake. You will regret it. Write it down.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: State of Florida, I have to disagree with the governor
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: down there. He's removed the flock cameras from the highways
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Florida. 90 miles from Cooper. Right-wing Republican governor.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Conservative legislature. Removing the flock cameras. Why? What happens when
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you're chasing somebody, they've kidnapped a child, and they're headed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for Florida, got to get on a boat, got to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: get out into the ocean, get out into the Gulf
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of America, you know, so they can set sail for,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Cuba. But you can't track them because
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you don't have any flock cameras. The misuse of the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: technology does not void the value of the technology. Police
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: officers and agencies that have misused the cameras should be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: penalized severely. They have taken the public trust and flushed
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it down the toilet. But to get rid of a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: beneficial technology because some moron is trying to find his
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: girlfriend and where she's been running off to while he's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: on duty, that is idiocy. When kids were eating Tide Pods,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we didn't stop doing laundry, did we? Same logic. Just
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: because somebody misuses something doesn't mean the something should be eliminated.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They should just stop misusing it. And when they do
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: misuse it, they should have to pay a price. Finally,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: City of Columbus says if I didn't have enough problems
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with them. After last night's 9-1-1 fiasco show. The announcement
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: today from the WSYX6 website, Columbus police and city leaders,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that's Mayor Ginter, are expanding a specialized police team focusing
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: on solving non-fatal shootings on the city's west side. An
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: effort officials say has already helped reduce gun violence and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: boost case clearance rates in several neighborhoods. Now, here's the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: next line. In South Linden County, Stop it. How many
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: days a month do we hear of a shooting in Linden?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If that if this has helped Linden, God only knows
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: what it would be. Oh, my. In South Linden, Don
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Digroy spent Thursday, I'm sorry, Tuesday sweeping up a shopping
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: plaza parking lot, said he's seen conditions improve as police
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: put more focus on solving nonfatal shootings. He said the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: area was real terrible, real terrible. But it's gotten better
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: over the years. Really? Let's look at the numbers. Homicides,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: felonious assaults within the boundaries of the Linden area. Let's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: look at the numbers. It's gotten better over the years. Really?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: He added now he's noticing less violence, saying certainly a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: big difference, a big. difference. Apparently he repeats things a lot.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: City leaders have credited part of that improvement to a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: non-fatal shooting team created in 2024 to increase solve rates
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in Zone 6, which is South Linden in the Milo-Grogan area.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Here's my question. Isn't that just police? Investigating a shooting,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: finding out who did the shooting, arresting them, prosecuting them,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: putting them in jail. Isn't that just the police? What
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is the non-fatal shooting team? They say it brings more
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: investigative resources, more expertise, and more urgency to solving non-fatal
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: shootings and identifying repeat offenders. How many people are wanted
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in Columbus for felonious assault and homicide right now? The
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: non-fatal shooting team. That's just police. Maybe they're police with
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: experience in homicides and felonious assaults. Maybe they've got ballistics expertise.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe they've got, I don't know. But that's just police.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't see where this is a news item. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: expanding the Columbus police to another neighborhood. They're the Columbus police.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: If you get shot non-fatally on the south side, shouldn't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you have the same detectives and police officers working for you?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: This is right up here with farming out your 911 calls, man.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They're changing crap for the sake of changing it. Not
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: because it makes sense. Not because it's going to make
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a difference. Not because it's going to improve anything. They're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: changing it just for the sake of changing it and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: getting in the headlines because they all are going, see me,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: see me, see me. Some really, not only terrible, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: laughable decisions are being made in central Ohio right now.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The non-fatal shooting team. I feel safer just saying it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Don't you, Zach? Look. What? I just unlocked my doors.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: No reason to lock them again. You should never have
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to lock your doors ever again. We also have a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: didn't steal important stuff burglary team. That's sad. Absolutely sad.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: All right. So anyway, the idea that 9-1-1 is going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to be Forwarded on. We're going to send this over
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to this independent company so they can decide whether it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: really an emergency. And my luck, I'm going to get
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: somebody who's like, huh? I said, I'm having a heart attack.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: You have hard what? Could you put somebody on the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: phone that's not deaf, please? Please. You're whispering. I don't
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: think this is an emergency. I'm just going to forward
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: your call on to the non-fatal shooting team people. Please,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'm dying. Do you know your party's extension? Press here.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I have to put you on hold. We are falling
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: apart and we're paying for the privilege of doing so.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: All right. It is time for me to pack up,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: wrap up and get out of here. Remember, it is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: September 1st. It is National Forgiveness Day. Yeah, I'm not
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: good at it either, but it was worth talking about.
