Curfew For Teens And Your Calls · Chuck Douglas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas a power hour on six to ten double
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: UTV in my number eight two one nine eight eighty
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: six A two one dou WUTV And oh, it's way
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: over here. The keyboards are all in the wrong place
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in this room. I just tried to move a cursor
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and nothing did anything. Talking about this curfew idea, Columbus
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: City Council is most likely going to act on this
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: quickly because what started off as kind of like just
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a quick idea is suddenly all over the place. Everybody's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: talking about it, which tells me they're they're probably chumming
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the waters, and I wouldn't be surprised if they act
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on something Monday night. We'll see. I don't think it'll
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: do anything. I think it's another punch in the dark
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: at nothingness because we are either not capable of or
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: willing to do things that actually work ten o'clock curfew
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: versus the current twelve o'clock curfew. My point being, if
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you're just joining me, laws are for law abiding people,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and law abiding people are not the problems we are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: having in this city. This is not going to do
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a thing at all. And remember the catalyst for all
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this violence the Big story out at the Saint Catherine's Festival.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Middle of the day, not at night, not in the dark,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: nowhere close to ten BM eight two eight six. My
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: member Roger, you're on sixthen WU TV and how are you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, Juck? Just fine, and I'll listen to you all
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been listening to a sixtensin twenty eighty two
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: eighty four. I'm part of the longest listener you guys got.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Well. I appreciate that, thank you.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: H But anyway, I was. You know, I don't want
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to call in and throw you a curve because I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: throw your curve ball. But I don't want to ask
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you for quite some time, and I don't want to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: call the radio station when I got people here to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the house. So the alleys go, what do you do?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Call the radio station? Yeah, that's what I get. But anyway,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: do you remember replaced on the West Side called don.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Hamburgers John Hamburger's on Sullivan Avenue, right across the street
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: from the Certified which is now a Sonoco that used
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to be a bonded station. I love don Hamburgers.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The first time I went there, my buddy Frank
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Harrison told me about it, and I went over there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I got there about noon and looked like it was closed.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So I was sitting out front there, and all of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a sudden, this trucker van pulled up and this guy
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: pops out and he's got this big old package of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: hamburger and he was opening up the place, and you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: wanted to make hamburgers. He said, yeah, just give me
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a time to get everything fired up and we'll make
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you a couple of hamburgers. And I'll tell you what.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I used to go back there all the time. Man.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: They were wonderful tube hamburgers and a fry and a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: drink for like three hours and fifty cents.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh those were the day. Yeah, thanks buddy. All right, Roger,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: tell everybody who tells you not to call the radio
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: station to leave you alone. You got bus standle and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you like you like crazy people like me, So you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: always welcome here. Eight two one nine eight eighty six. Barry,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you are on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line. Tight.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the ten o'clock curfew thing is so
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: that they can stop people in id them, and I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: think that's what it's all about. So if you have,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: if you've been in trouble, if you got a warrant
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: or something, they can get you off the road. It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: more of a reason to stop and check. Okay, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: that red white and boom. I think that we should
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: have like ice down there checking id's after ten o'clock,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: cleaning the streets up.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Do you really think that they would get aggressive? As
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I was pointing out to what was it, Frank before
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know they passed these hot button laws when something happens,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but then they don't do anything. You have a kid
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's killed by getting hit on their bike. Suddenly we
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: got a bike helmet law, but there's no kids where
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: helmets on their bikes. Nobody's enforcing that. Do you really
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: think they were grown ups were? Yeah, well, grown ups
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: are odd. I'm talking about the kids. But if you're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: under eighteen, you're supposed to be wearing a helmet if
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you're operating a bicycle on the rows of Columbus.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And okay, this just gives us more of a reason.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: If you're out in a group a group of kids
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that they can pull up and start pulling IDs. There's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a group of people they can start pulling IDs and
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: that's what it is, and I'm telling you that's what
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe you're right. Well, we'll see if that indeed,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: If that indeed is the strategy, we will see how
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: many and how quickly the harassment suits start to pile
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: up before Columbus abands and ship on it. If that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what their strategy is, probably a bad strategy these days,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because people will sue you over everything.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, come on, man, I mean, you got
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to clean it up, and you can't clean it up
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: because somebody like you, well they can sue you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're Barry, Barry Barry. Somebody like me is telling you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: When people do this crap, lock their butts up. Make
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: sure that everybody who thinks about doing this crap knows
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: their butt gets locked up. This is how you solve it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You arrest. You know what, They didn't have to check
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: anybody at the Saint Catherine's Festival because they were right
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there fighting in front of them. They grabbed them right there.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: They'll get a smack on the hand. They'll get a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: smack on the hand, and they'll go home and they'll
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: do it again whenever they feel like it. Put their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: butts away, put a thing on their their what do
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you call it? The the ankle thing, and don't let
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: them leave home. That's how treat the criminals like criminals.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Treat the criminals like criminals, and stop making the good
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: guys jump through all the hoops. That's all I'm saying.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, you in. It's not it's not a matter.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's not a matter of Barry. It's not a matter
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of Barry.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: As a white guy.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Barry, I'm see there and and there you as a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: white guy. You what.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: They just put me to everything? I gotta pay all
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the fine, I go to jail, I do whatever.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you break the law, you'll pay the fines
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and go to jail. That's right. As a white guys,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a black guy, as a Jewish guys, a Protestant guys,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that cafa the guys, any guy you are, if you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: break the law, you should pay the price. It's that simple.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: But you're a Mexican guy that came over illegal, you're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: okay because we don't want to we don't want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: mess with that. And I can guarantee you that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you can't. Gary. You write that guarantee
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: down for me. Okay, because that's it. That's the second
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: time now we talked. I should be down there. And
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: if you're a Mexican guy, I think you got bigger
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: issues in the curfew. My friend, Mike, you're on six WTVN.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chuck, how you doing? They listen all these people
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: calling up about this curfew idea. It all sounds good
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: and all that, but it's not a realistic situation at all.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Anybody that's listened to the police scanner for five minutes
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: can tell you that our police officers do not have
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: time to be doing this. They go from one call
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: to the next, one call to the next. Are supposed
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: to be patrol officers, and all they're doing is, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: trying to keep the city from exploding. Okay. They do
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: not have time to be checking anything about curfews. They
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: got way more important things to do. We're down about
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty five police officers, Chuck, who wants
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: to do it? Yep?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Who would exactly? Who would want to be a police
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: officer in this current climate?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Nobody not in this city. When was the last time
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: you heard our illustrious mayor give any kind words to
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: the policeman policewomen, firemen, fire women. When when was the
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: last time.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: There was a couple of weeks ago. I forget what
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it was. It happened. He did have a Lane Bryant
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: there with him, and he complimented the chief as well
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: as the officers for doing something. But I don't remember
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what that was.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: But that was when he extended her contract for five years.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Man, you're right, the compliments are few and far between,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and again, the harassment suits and everything that can come
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: out of something like this. Do you expect city hall
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and the mayor to stand behind the officers once they're
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: accused of racial profiling or No, of course not.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: They're not going to absolutely not. I mean that's very
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: evident from back when we had the riots during the
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: George Floyd nonsense. Who did they backed? They backed nobody.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: It was trying to quell all that disturbance. Are you
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: in back to police officers.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right if you listened, if you listen to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the scanners. In fact, there's a good one. Let me
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: tell you about this while I'm thinking about it, Mike.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: It's just called and Columbus, and uh, it's actually pretty
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: good quality. Seems a little better than what I was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: getting on Broadcastify. But if you just open up your
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: cell phone and go to scan Columbus, I put in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: my zone number as well, but it'll show you the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Columbus zones and everything, and it's actually a pretty good
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: one and people should listen to that. People should absolutely listen.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it wouldn't hurt you quite frankly
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to do a ride along, especially if you're always standing back,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you know, criticizing what law enforcement does or does not do,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: or how they do it or whatever. Going out there
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: ride along. All you have to do is make the request,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: fill out the form, and you can go do a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ride along. See what these guys and ladies put up
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: with in the name of keeping the peace. Go witness
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it for yourself. Eight two one nine eight eighty six. Pete,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you are on six to ten double the utvyet.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: You know, like usual, Chuck, I cannot disagree with you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: But what something you need to I just consider is
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the right word. I think it's mainly political. Mister Ginter
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: has to do something so that if there's mayhem on
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: July the fourth, he can at least say, well, I
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: try to do something as opposed to if If he
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: does nothing, then people are going to say, well, why
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: didn't you do something? You knew July the fourth was
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: coming up. What I think that they need to do
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: is uh yeah, yeah, changing the curfew from midnight to ten.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: It's it's really not going to do much, but why
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: not at the meantime, announce a stiffer penalty, make it,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: you know, something stiffer than a third degree misdemeanor. Uh,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: you know, something more actionable. Uh, you know, to to
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: really to really send a message. I'm not saying that
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: it's gonna you know, uh solve the problem them or
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: or maybe maybe not do anything. But at least let's
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: let's start to make uh, like you said, just put
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: some different penalties out there.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Now, See that is something we can talk about. Pete.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: If you say, in conjunction with this curfew, time violators
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of the curfew that are caught outside after ten pm
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: without a valid excuse or blah blah blah are going
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to face this, this and this, let's let's stiffen them
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: up and make sure that they're held accountable, then then
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you might have something. But if it's just the curfews,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: now ten o'clock and there's no other no penalties involved,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: no price to be paid, and then the bad guys
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: aren't going to care about that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: You're you're you're right, You're you're exactly right, and right
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: now the penalty is what probation? Uh I don't remember
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: what the other ones were, but uh yeah, I mean
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: let's let's let's and let's really uh put out a
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: full task force and really, uh, you know, uh if
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it means whatever this tipper penalty is, I don't know
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: if you one night in jail or something, but let's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: let's do it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: They won't let they won't let you lock him up
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in jail. We got rid of the juvenile detention facility.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So uh, the best I could say is, you know, okay,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: ankle monitor and in a week without going anywhere but
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: school or something like that. But you're right, if we
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: start talking about a definitive penalty in addition to just
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: saying it's ten o'clock instead of midnight, we got something
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to work with there. I like that, thinking, Pete, thank
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you very much for the call. Really already already I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: hate it when he does this. All right, low music,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: explain that means it is time for me to fly
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and for for Barry. Yeah, I almost said, Brian Barry,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, brother. I am not when
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you know, when you get when you I know, But
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: when you get loud sometimes I gotta get loud back,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: just because I don't think necessarily you're listening. We gotta listen.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: We gotta listen to each other. I tried to listen
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to what you had to say. I was asking the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: same of you. So I'm not mad at you, but
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this don't don't let them turn this into a race
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: thing in your head either, Please. This is just about
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: good and bad, right and wrong in common sense
