  Black Girl Interrupted podcast Big Bad. When I tell you, yeah, there
• 0:46
  we go now now now look appropriate. So I was supposed to go live
• 0:52
  last night, but Explanity was having their little issues they love problems, so
• 0:56
  unfortunately it wouldn't let me be great. So I said, you know what
• 0:59
  to I gotta jump on because there's a story, y'all. Let me tell
• 1:03
  y'all. It's a story that came across my timeline yesterday, no, two
• 1:07
  days ago, and because tonight I wanted to talk I really actually wanted to
• 1:12
  talk about women dying to be beautiful, you know, with regards to the
• 1:19
  death of DC young flies um girlfriend fiance, the mother of his three children.
• 1:26
  But I got a story that came across that I just I really got
• 1:30
  to talk about it because this shit is happening a little, a little far
• 1:33
  too often where people are starting to utilize stay in your ground to get away
• 1:37
  with murder. So this shit really pisses me off, y'all. So I
• 1:45
  really got to talk about this tonight. But y'all already know. Before I
• 1:48
  start any show, y'all, notice, I gotta do my mental health check
• 1:53
  in, so I need to know how everybody is doing. Today is Wednesday,
• 1:57
  It is hump day, y'all. We are two days away from Friday.
• 2:01
  How are y'all feeling? Mentally, emotionally, physic How y'all feeling m
• 2:07
  I could say this, every day gets easier for me, y'all. I'm
• 2:12
  in a much better place mentally. Similarly, because I've cut off a lot
• 2:16
  of people. I've eliminated a lot of people out of my life, and
• 2:24
  my Lord is getting lighter. I'm learning now to get myself grace. That's
• 2:31
  what I'm doing. I'm learning to give myself grace and patience and knowing that
• 2:38
  it's okay for me to fall down as long as I get back up and
• 2:43
  I try it again. So that's why i'm at mentally, y'all. As
• 2:46
  y'all can see, I've been consistent with this podcast because I told y'all,
• 2:49
  fab y'alln't even understand. I really want to make a career out of doing
• 2:53
  this. I really want to walk away from corporate America. I really want
• 2:57
  to make this a career. I finally found my voice. I finally found
• 3:00
  my purpose, and this is what I want to do. I enjoy doing
• 3:04
  this. I enjoy getting in front of this camera. I enjoy bringing y'all
• 3:08
  stories. I enjoy having conversations that a lot of people are really kind of
• 3:13
  shy away from. And then with regards of it, if incorporated my personal
• 3:20
  life, you know what I'm saying, I let y'all in on everything with
• 3:23
  me. I'm transparent with y'all, and I love the fact that y'all don't
• 3:27
  judge me. You know what I'm saying. I love that. And so
• 3:30
  this is my calling, this is what I want to do. So I'm
• 3:32
  stepping out on faith and I'm gonna push the ball, push the envelope,
• 3:37
  whatever it is I gotta do. I gotta get to the top because I
• 3:39
  want to do this permanently. I want to make a career out of doing
• 3:43
  this. I don't even give a damn about the money. I don't care.
• 3:46
  I just know that my shows have helped people. The conversations that I've
• 3:51
  had have helped people, and I want to keep doing this. So I
• 3:55
  finally sat down and I finally figured out what my purpose is. So I
• 4:00
  got some changes coming with Black Girl Interrupted. So I can't wait. I'm
• 4:05
  excited. You know, my honey is helping me get get this where I
• 4:09
  need to be. So I got a theme song I'm working on, and
• 4:13
  I got some intros that I'm working on. Like, I'm really truly excited
• 4:15
  about Black Girl Interrupted and the changes that are gonna come. And I'm also
• 4:19
  excited about the expansion of Black Girl Interrupted, the black carpet experience where I'm
• 4:26
  gonna be spotlighting black owned business owners. You know, I want to get
• 4:30
  the word out. I want people to know who you are. I don't
• 4:32
  care what you do. I don't give it them. If you say water
• 4:34
  baby, I don't give it them. If you're tish shoelacers together for a
• 4:39
  living. If I can get business generated your way, that's what I want
• 4:43
  to do. So I'm excited about the expansion of Black Girl Interrupted. So
• 4:48
  y'all already know I gotta do my mental health check in. Hey, Sissy,
• 4:50
  I love you too, sus y'all. Let me tell y'all, y'all
• 4:54
  pray for my mom. My mom had knee surgery today. Uh should be
• 4:59
  fine. She'd probably be up and walking next week because she don't never set
• 5:01
  herself down anywhere. But y'all send my mom some prayers. Like I said,
• 5:04
  she had knee surgery today. She had a tor meniscus that they had
• 5:09
  to go in and repair. But she's home, she's resting, she's full
• 5:13
  of all the medication. I'm gonna go buy and see her tomorrow. So
• 5:16
  hay sissy, Uh, they go my girl. Nah, hats us.
• 5:20
  Oh, it's so good to see you, girl. I got to do
• 5:24
  it in people, y'all. I really got to do it in people.
• 5:27
  And I'm glad you're feeling grat sis. I'm glad. Up there go my
• 5:30
  brother. Let's get a ga Hey brother, Hey brother. So y'all,
• 5:36
  y'all, I gotta do my mental health check in. But y'all just drop
• 5:41
  me in a cop drop in the comments, because y'all know I always I
• 5:43
  always start with with a video, something powerful, something inspirational. Um.
• 5:48
  But I gotta. I gotta get into tonight's topic, y'all, because this
• 5:54
  ship has really pissed me off, and it really truly is. But let
• 5:58
  me say this, because like I said, say, I'm gonna do something
• 6:00
  a little different tonight. I always start the show with something powerful and empowering
• 6:06
  and uplifting. I think I'm gonna end the show. I think with the
• 6:11
  topic that we're gonna be addressing tonight, I think I need to end it
• 6:15
  on a powerful note. I really need to end it and give y'all some
• 6:18
  encouragement. I need to poor and see y'all. I need to give y'all
• 6:23
  some love. So I'm gonna do that tonight. I'm gonna do that at
• 6:25
  the end. I want to do that at the end because I want to
• 6:28
  get into tonight's conversation because y'all, this has really hurt my heart. Because
• 6:35
  this woman left four children, She left four babies, and for her ten
• 6:44
  year old child to witness her death. That don't sit right in my spirit,
• 6:49
  and it just really doesn't let me take a deep breath before we get
• 6:56
  into this. Yes, sus see, I'm excited. What I tell y'all,
• 7:00
  I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready
• 7:03
  for the changes that are about to come. A black girl interrupted. I'm
• 7:06
  ready for the moves that I'm about to make. Like I said, I
• 7:09
  have two interviews that are coming. I have one in August and then I
• 7:14
  have another interview that will be posted in the Women That Podcast magazine that will
• 7:20
  be in the July edition. So I'm excited about that. But anyway,
• 7:25
  but we're not talking about me today. But again, I always do a
• 7:30
  mental checking y'all dropping the comments, let me know how y'all are feeling,
• 7:32
  how y'all doing, what's going on with y'all? You know it's Wednesday,
• 7:40
  MP Day, were two days away from the weekend. Whatever it is that
• 7:43
  you're going through. Just know, if you've made it thus far, you
• 7:46
  can keep going. So I want to go ahead and jump into tonight's conversation.
• 7:50
  So here we go, another unarmed black female killed. When will this
• 7:59
  end? Huh? So on Saturday, Sunday, Saturday or Sunday, A
• 8:11
  GK Owens was killed a black woman, she's she was a black woman mother
• 8:18
  for that was killed by fifty eight year old Susan Laurentz, who is white.
• 8:26
  And Susan says this was justified. She said she was well within her
• 8:30
  right. She was standing up ground because a GK was posing an imminent threat
• 8:35
  to her. Bullshit. So let me go ahead and rote y'all already know.
• 8:41
  I'll come with videos, receipts everything. So let me go ahead and
• 8:46
  roll this video and then I'm ready for us to jump into tonight's conversation.
• 8:50
  Here we go, developing story. Definitely say that this feud has been going
• 8:54
  on for several months between the two sides. Good evening, Welcome. I'm
• 8:56
  John Brown and I'm Lou Answer all this. Sheriff says, both the mother
• 9:01
  and the shooter called nine one one on each other at least half a dozen
• 9:03
  times in the past. Let's walk you through what we know so far.
• 9:07
  Deputy say, before the shooting, the neighbor threw something at one of the
• 9:11
  children. That child then told their mother and she went back to the neighbor's
• 9:16
  house. During the confrontation, the neighbor allegedly shot the mother through the front
• 9:20
  door. Investigators are now trying to figure out if the shooter will face any
• 9:24
  charges or if this is a case of self defense. We have long team
• 9:28
  coverage for you tonight. Ravit is looking into a similar standard ground cases and
• 9:33
  we start with Fox thirty five day. But Glisi, who was live in
• 9:37
  Marion County, So Dave, the victim's family wants to shoot or charged in
• 9:39
  this case, John, they do, and many people here in the community.
• 9:45
  We're calling for justice. They say that they are outraged over all this
• 9:50
  and believed the shooting was completely unnecessary. Her three children were here today as
• 9:54
  they echoed those calls. She had no weapon, There was no eminent in
• 10:00
  thereator to anyone. Aj Owen's mother pleading for answers after her daughter was shot
• 10:05
  by her neighbor. Many in the Marion County community echoing those calls she needs
• 10:11
  to be homes. Owens was killed Friday when she went to confront a neighbor.
• 10:20
  Close friends say the thirty two year old wanted to know why her neighbor
• 10:24
  took her kid's iPad and threw something at them. Her children ran to my
• 10:28
  house banging on the door, asking them for us to call the police that
• 10:31
  their mother was shot. They ran on literally everything. They knocked on everyone's
• 10:35
  door. Owen's neighbor, Ashley Ramy, says that she ran over to perform
• 10:39
  CPR just hoping that I could revive her, hoping that there was something I
• 10:43
  could do. Others in the neighborhood say the fifty eight year old shooter has
• 10:46
  a history of yelling at kids in the neighborhood. They claim she has called
• 10:48
  the police on kids. Many times, Marion County deputies have not arrested the
• 10:54
  fifty eight year old as they try to determine if this was a standard groundcase.
• 10:58
  It's a bull, straight bull, because like I just said, if
• 11:03
  it was me or an African American shooting her, we would be in jail
• 11:13
  right now or when children are between the ages of thirteen and four years old.
• 11:20
  Her oldest son did speak briefly, thanking everybody for coming to be a
• 11:24
  visual held for her on Thursday, and Okalla Dave for GRESI Fox thirty five
• 11:30
  New Years Baby. Yeah, let me take a deep breath because A gk
• 11:48
  Owens is the young lady we're speaking about tonight, A mother four in Accola,
• 11:56
  Florida. O'calla Florida? How boss? I hope I said it right.
• 12:01
  O'calla Florida. I believe it is how you see it. But you
• 12:09
  took one of her children's iPad and then you turned around and you threw a
• 12:16
  roller skate that hit one of the children. And then when the child went
• 12:22
  to go tell his mother, the mother comes and knocks on your door and
• 12:31
  you shoot through the door, hitting miss A gk in the chest. As
• 12:37
  she stood next to her ten year old child, and then you try to
• 12:45
  say that you were standing in your ground. If I could see you right
• 12:54
  now, I promise I would probably slap five from your ass because you throw
• 13:00
  something at my baby. All, BET's all. There's no conversation that needs
• 13:05
  to be had. But you took this baby's iPad. Then you were shouting
• 13:16
  racial slurs at the child, well at the children, telling them to get
• 13:22
  off your land. But you don't even own the land. Y'all stole that
• 13:31
  land. But that's a whole other conversation. But this is what happened.
• 13:45
  You shoot through the door. She comes to knock on your door, but
• 13:54
  she had no weapon. Oh that's right, she's black. She's black.
• 14:05
  This is almost this is like what happened with Trayvon Martin ten years ago.
• 14:09
  Y'all remember that, y'all. Remember Trayvon Martin. Y'all remember that? Mm
• 14:20
  so, Now four children all without that mother, all because you antagonize the
• 14:31
  situation. You have a history of yelling at the children in the neighborhood,
• 14:39
  the black children in the neighborhood. You snatched the iPad, then you throw
• 14:48
  a roller skate. I mean, really, it was either a roller skate
• 14:54
  or she threw the iPad, whatever it was. She threw an object at
• 14:58
  one of the children that hit the children, and you killed their mother.
• 15:09
  But you told people that this was justified. This is what you said that
• 15:13
  you will justified that you were in fear of your life. That seems to
• 15:16
  be the emo from for every white person that shooting kills a black man or
• 15:22
  a black woman, that seems to be the emo. Y'all get the ship
• 15:26
  from the police and then y'all use it on the street. Or I was
• 15:31
  in fear of my life, but a GK didn't even have a weapon,
• 15:35
  So what were you afraid of? But you antagonize the situation. So mister,
• 15:43
  she reacted the normal way a mother would act. Because I'm here to
• 15:48
  tell you, you throw something at one of my children and it injures one
• 15:52
  of my children, I'm gonna slap five from your ass, and I'm gonna
• 15:56
  suffer the consequences later. Period. All bets off when it comes to my
• 16:03
  children. If you pose, if you threaten any type of harm to my
• 16:07
  children, You're gonna deal with me. Period. And I'm saying that no.
• 16:14
  If Anne's abouts about it, that's what's gonna happen. But these were
• 16:21
  little children. I believe the oldest child is ten, and the child that
• 16:26
  she threw the object that was three years old. It's three years old.
• 16:30
  I'm sorry, he's three. The baby was three that she threw this object.
• 16:34
  That. But it all started because they were playing, and they were
• 16:41
  playing close to her, to her home, and you said get off my
• 16:48
  land, and you were shouting racial slurs at these children, these babies.
• 16:56
  Okay, Jewel says, they finally arrested that racist bitch girl. Hold up,
• 17:03
  I'm glad you said that, sis, because you know what, I
• 17:08
  never say. This is the best fucking picture ever. Do you hear me?
• 17:14
  The best picture ever? Excuse my lady with y'all, the best picture
• 17:18
  ever. I loved it. Hold your head up, That's all I want
• 17:23
  to say. I want you to pick your head up, Susan Laurent,
• 17:27
  because your head was knocked down when you shot through that door. Then they
• 17:32
  say allegedly she was deleting footage off for her ring came allegedly. I don't
• 17:38
  we don't know how true that is, but that's it's been alleged that she
• 17:44
  deleted footage or started deleting footage from her ring camp. So we have a
• 17:55
  gk Owens. So Julie says, there was no the bitch was behind the
• 18:00
  closed door. All this was intentional because she knew the woman would come to
• 18:03
  retrieve her child's tablet. This is a clear case of premeditated murder. So
• 18:08
  unfortunately, Sis, this is Florida, and you already know we saw what
• 18:18
  happened with Trayvon Martin. You know where they overcharged George Zimmerman and no conviction
• 18:26
  in the in the death of Trayvon Martin. So they've charged her with voluntary
• 18:30
  manslaughter and two counts of assault or three counts of assault. I know,
• 18:37
  I know the first charge is voluntary manslaughter with a weapon and then two counts
• 18:44
  of assaults. So I think she has like three charges. But I'm with
• 18:51
  you, so like you provoked the situation. You know, you took what
• 18:57
  I don't understand what was your reasoning behind taking his baby's iPad? What would
• 19:02
  what would help me to understand what warranted you and gave you the right to
• 19:07
  take this baby's iPad. Then you are upset and you threw a skate.
• 19:14
  It was either a roller skate or she threw the iPad because it hit it
• 19:18
  hit the child in the head or the face. Hence these the assault charges.
• 19:26
  I just really, for the life of me, don't understand. But
• 19:33
  yes, she has been arrested and she has been charged. They did state
• 19:38
  and say that this was not a stand your ground type of situation, that
• 19:44
  she was not justified in the shooting. So I pray that justice is served
• 19:55
  for A. G. K Owens because this didn't even have to go that
• 20:00
  way. We just saw this a week ago in South Carolina where the fourteen
• 20:11
  year old I'm sorry, yes, fourteen year old, excuse me, was
• 20:15
  killed by the store owner. And this is the problem. These people are
• 20:22
  reacting off of emotions and you're not thinking, and people are ended up dead
• 20:29
  over simple situations. And it's always white killing blacks, and they always want
• 20:37
  to use I was standing in my ground. How about I whoop your ass?
• 20:44
  And then I turned around and say I was standing in my ground.
• 20:47
  Period. So Nat says they were three to fourteen, Okay, I knew
• 20:53
  the youngest was three, and I knew the ten because the ten year old
• 20:56
  was standing next to her when she was shot. And then I think it's
• 21:02
  a twelve year old too in the three, ten, twelve, and then
• 21:06
  fourteen, I believe, so I think something like that that says and they
• 21:12
  said stay in your ground when I stick in the words of my baby Chase,
• 21:21
  see y'all. So I'm because when I saw this story, y'all,
• 21:30
  it was absolutely heartbreaking to me because I said, I'm a black mother with
• 21:37
  three beautiful children, and I couldn't imagine what I would have done had that
• 21:44
  have been one of mine. Because again it's been reported allegedly that this is
• 21:51
  not the first time this woman has done this to the children in the neighborhood.
• 21:56
  And then what I don't understand is why was her as it's not arrested
• 22:00
  that same night that it happened. I get it. They gotta get all
• 22:04
  the evidence, and they gotta make sure eyes are dotted and teas across.
• 22:08
  But had it have been a black person that shot a white child, they
• 22:12
  would have been arrested on site. They would have gave a damn about trying
• 22:17
  to collect no evidence and witness statements. They would have been arrested on site.
• 22:23
  A black person shooting a white child, oh yeah, they would have
• 22:27
  been arrested on site, no questions asked, and before y'all jump on your
• 22:33
  soap box and say, oh, she's being racist, No, I'm telling
• 22:37
  you the fucking truth, okay, because hat again, had it have been
• 22:44
  a black man or a black woman that shot a white child, they would
• 22:47
  have been arrested on site. It would have been no questions asked. And
• 22:49
  you know it as well as your man is now. So I'm not lying.
• 22:56
  I'm telling you the absolute truth. Y'all know that's what would have happened.
• 23:00
  Show me different. I'll wait. So this is a GK because I
• 23:07
  have a beautiful picture of her, because I think she's such a beauty.
• 23:10
  She's a beautiful, beautiful that's a g K. That's mister g K.
• 23:15
  A j Owens who was so brutally taken from her four children by a racist
• 23:29
  white woman, a racist. I'm over this, yo'all. When I tell
• 23:36
  y'all, I'm so sick of seeing these stories. I'm so sick of this.
• 23:42
  Stay in your ground because that's the emo for every time they shoot somebody.
• 23:48
  We saw it with a young man that was shot, Thank God that
• 23:52
  he lived, who knocked on the wrong who knocked on the wrong door in
• 23:59
  the midst of picking up his twin brothers. Thank god he lived. But
• 24:06
  that was the same story that the white man used in that situation. Oh,
• 24:11
  I saw this six foot black man at my door. There was a
• 24:15
  child. We see this. I just every time let me, let me
• 24:38
  take a deep breath on this, because every time this happens, the first
• 24:45
  thing y'all want to say, Oh, y'all always want to bring race into
• 24:48
  it. This was racially motivated. This was absolutely racially motivated. The witnesses
• 24:57
  that wrote statements and came forward and said, she does this to all the
• 25:04
  black children in the neighborhood. This was an apartment complex. So what land
• 25:11
  do you own, Miss Susan? What what land do this ship do you
• 25:15
  own? Only you don't even own the apartment you live in. You just
• 25:18
  written that's somebody else's you living on somebody else's property. This not even you
• 25:27
  don't even own the unit you live in. So how are you gonna tell
• 25:32
  somebody to get off your land? Slap yourself for that, because you sound
• 25:37
  real stupid, You sound real dumb, Miss Susan Lorentz. This is what
• 25:48
  This was an apartment complex, y'all. I live in an apartment complex.
• 25:53
  Kids outside planning, you come outside and you antagonize these children. You took
• 26:03
  this baby's iPad and then you threw it at him, and I believe it.
• 26:11
  Like I said, I believe it hit the baby in the face,
• 26:15
  or they hit the baby in the foot, like I think she threw the
• 26:18
  iPad, or she threw a roller skate. It's been conflicting stories. Some
• 26:22
  stories says she threw a roller skate and it hit the baby. Other stories
• 26:26
  says she threw the iPad and it hit the baby. Because I believe the
• 26:30
  iPad broke, so I believe it was the iPad that she threw in it
• 26:34
  it hit the baby in the face. Hence, again she got these assault
• 26:40
  charges. But Natalist says, the black person would have been sitting in jail
• 26:47
  while they was dotting their eyes and crossing their teeth. Absolutely, and that's
• 26:51
  what I mean when I saved. This was absolutely racially motivated. Same way
• 26:56
  with Trayvon Martin ten years ago that was racially moved debate. You have a
• 27:03
  black kid, a young black male, minding his business, went to the
• 27:08
  store, walking back home. Then you got this man that wants to be
• 27:15
  a cop, who's a really top flight security. You follow this young man
• 27:22
  home. The nine one one dispatcher told you to fall back. They didn't
• 27:29
  need you following him. And guess what, here you go. You'll carry
• 27:33
  yourself. You're following and Trey V. Martin ends update and here's this stay
• 27:41
  in your ground. But again, you were the antagonizer in the situation.
• 27:47
  So Jewels says, watching the news, there was a black and green roller
• 27:52
  skate on the line, right, So that's why I say it was like
• 27:55
  two different stories that I read. One story said that she threw the iPad
• 28:00
  at the baby and it hit the baby in the face. And then I
• 28:03
  saw another story that says she threw a roller skate and it hit the baby
• 28:07
  in the foot. So either way it goes she threw an object at the
• 28:11
  child. She didn't need to, but she did. Hence, this is
• 28:15
  why these assault chargers were included with the voluntary manslaughter charges. So let me
• 28:22
  go back over here. But again we're talking about a gk Owens, a
• 28:26
  gk Owns, a mother of a black mother of four and o'calla Florida who
• 28:30
  was killed. I believe it was Sunday by her fifty eight year old neighbor,
• 28:37
  Susan Lawrence. This is Susan Lawrence, the most beautiful photo that we
• 28:41
  will ever ever see in life. I love it. Was arrested today with
• 28:49
  the charges of voluntary manslaughter and I believe two counts two charges of assault.
• 28:56
  Police have said that Noah was not justified, so to stand your ground law
• 29:00
  does not apply in this situation. So Miss Susan, you tried it,
• 29:04
  You try to, babe, But my only concern is getting justice. Is
• 29:11
  that justice is served for this young woman and her family. You know,
• 29:18
  as the mother stated, a GK posed no threat. She was. Miss
• 29:22
  Susan was in no imminent threat. A GK did not go over there with
• 29:26
  a weapon. I guess you know, her hands or whatever. But she
• 29:30
  knocked on your door and you immediately shot through the door, striking Miss a
• 29:36
  GK once in the chest, who later succumbed to her injuries later on that
• 29:41
  that night. Um, So the question is why do they keep utilizing stay
• 29:48
  in your ground to get away with murder? I just don't understand, you
• 29:56
  know, why does this keep happening again? We just saw this last week
• 30:00
  in South Carolina with a fourteen year old who was shot after being accused of
• 30:07
  stealing water out of a convenience store, a service station, and the store
• 30:12
  owner chased them off the property. You chase them off the property. His
• 30:17
  back was to you because you shot him in the bag, so he was
• 30:22
  not posing a threat to you. The million dollar question is, y'all,
• 30:30
  when does the stand your ground law apply? Because it seems to be that's
• 30:37
  where everybody seems to run to. That's what it seems like everybody at any
• 30:45
  situation, that's what they run to is stay in your ground. So here's
• 30:51
  that question. When can it be used? When can the stand your ground
• 30:57
  law be used? And know that it doesn't apply in every state because not
• 31:02
  every state has to stay in your ground laws. But let me roll this
• 31:07
  for y'all. Were the ones that don't really truly understand. But here is
• 31:15
  when the stay and this is only for Florida, so this video only applies
• 31:21
  to Florida. It may apply to the other states, but I know this
• 31:25
  particular video only applies to Florida. So this is when the stand your ground
• 31:29
  law can be used. New video this morning shows a woman in handcuffs after
• 31:34
  allegedly shooting her neighbor through her own front door. Fifty eight year old Susan
• 31:38
  Lawrence is charged with manslaughter with a firearm, a first degree felony with a
• 31:44
  maximum sentence of thirty years in prison. This is Lawrence's mug shot. Fox
• 31:48
  thirty five got it minutes before one o'clock this morning. First appearance begins at
• 31:53
  nine am. We are in contact with jail officials about whether she is scheduled
• 31:59
  for that time. The arrest follows a day of protest over the death of
• 32:02
  a j Owens, who was killed after being shot through her neighbor's door.
• 32:07
  Yeah, the pair legulate a dispute over a children's tablet as well and Randy
• 32:10
  Hildreth's live outside the Marion County Jail. This morning, Rady, the sheriff,
• 32:14
  has spoken exclusively with Fox thirty five about the arrest in the ongoing feud
• 32:17
  between these two neighbors. Hey, good morning to you both. And one
• 32:22
  of the more difficult pieces of information has come out of this investigation is that
• 32:27
  Owens's children were key witnesses and piecing this story together, I do want who
• 32:31
  breaks down the very latest that we got from the Sheriff's office in the series
• 32:36
  of events that unfolded that David ultimately led to Owens being shot. Now one
• 32:40
  of the things that the Sheriff's office has said is that Owens was excuse me.
• 32:45
  Lawrence was angry at Owens's children, who were playing in a field near
• 32:50
  her home. We're told that she started yelling at them, which was overheard
• 32:53
  by a neighbor. One witness says that Lawrence used racial slurs towards the children.
• 32:59
  A deputies firms she threw a roller skate at the children and one was
• 33:01
  hit, and they do say it. An older sibling of Owens went to
• 33:06
  the home first to talk to Lawrence and she swung an umbrella at them,
• 33:09
  and that's when they say. Owens went to the home and knocked on the
• 33:13
  door. They say Lawrence fired one shot through the closed front door and it
• 33:16
  hit Owens in her chest with her ten year olds standing next to her.
• 33:20
  I want to show viewers that mugshot again that we got overnight, and Lawrence
• 33:23
  claimed that the shooting was self defensing that Owens tried to break down her door,
• 33:28
  But investigators say, between witness statements and surveillance video, that was not
• 33:31
  true, and Florida's standra groundlog doesn't work in this case. In that exclusive
• 33:37
  interview with Sheriff Billy Woods. He acknowledged the growing calls for Lawrence's arrest,
• 33:40
  including protests yesterday, but he said investigators needed more time to go through everything.
• 33:45
  We know the direction is going, and we can't give out information.
• 33:50
  And it's difficult because here's the truth. Did we want to make the arrest
• 33:52
  that night. Absolutely we did, There's no doubt about it. It's tragic
• 33:57
  when we see somebody that just shoots through a door and shoot another human being,
• 34:00
  really just because of a neighborhood squabble. Now, Attorney Benjamin Crump,
• 34:07
  the civil rights attorney who is representing the family, released a statement. He
• 34:12
  is pushing for continued accountability as they continue to work through this investigation. He
• 34:16
  calls in question the stand your ground law. He is expected to have a
• 34:21
  news conference at noon today with Owens's family coming up in the next thirty minutes.
• 34:25
  I'll have more reaction live this morning, Brandy Hildreth, Fox thirty five
• 34:30
  News. So I gotta agree with Ben Crump, you know, because sometimes
• 34:43
  I don't always agree with Ben Trump. But you shot an unarmed mother in
• 34:53
  front of her children, and again it took, and let me tell y'all,
• 35:04
  it took for the neighbors and they said people from out of town that
• 35:13
  didn't even live in the neighborhood came and protested and fought to get this woman
• 35:20
  arrested. So they was gonna sit on this, Like Julie says, we're
• 35:25
  meeting force. Were forced. Absolutely, And then again I knew it was
• 35:30
  something that I was missing because she swung an umbrella at the child and that's
• 35:36
  what Okay, so let me double back, y'all. So hey, babe,
• 35:42
  I love you. I hope you're having a good night at work.
• 35:44
  Juliago your brother, girl, they go your brother. But you swung an
• 35:51
  umbrella, and that's what prompted the baby to go get his mother. And
• 35:55
  that's what prompting is a GK to come and knock on the door. Now
• 36:01
  again, you took this child's iPad, so you were you were the aggressor
• 36:07
  in this situation. You were the antagonizer in the situation. I don't care
• 36:09
  how you slice this pizza. I don't care how you cut this cake.
• 36:13
  Baby, I don't care how you drink your cold, drink your water,
• 36:15
  whatever it is. But at the end of the day, she was she
• 36:17
  was the aggressor. You antagonize this situation because first, you were out there
• 36:23
  screaming and telling them to get off of your land. Again, show me
• 36:28
  where you own that land? You owned that land? You don't again,
• 36:30
  you don't even own the unit you live in. Okay, that's first and
• 36:34
  foremost. Number two, you took this baby's iPad. What gave you the
• 36:42
  right to take this child's iPad? You swung an umbrella at the child.
• 36:50
  That's what prompted the baby to go get his mother. And miss A GK
• 36:53
  didn't coming knock on your door. You were going in your house, spot
• 37:00
  in with your door closed. And the moment she knocked on your door,
• 37:02
  you saw her through your ring ham and you're shot through the door. So
• 37:07
  show me how you felt like you were justified. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 37:12
  She lied and said that missus GK was trying to come into her home.
• 37:21
  Yeah, that's what you said. That's what you told police, that
• 37:28
  she was trying to come into your home, that she was pulling on your
• 37:32
  door. Knock sound familiar. That's what happened. That's what was said when
• 37:44
  Ralph Yarrow was shot. Y'all know the young man that went to the wronghouse
• 37:50
  to pick up his twin brothers. Remember, that's what the man said.
• 37:53
  That's why he shot that baby, because he said the boy was trying to
• 37:59
  come into his home. Again, y'all, aren't Are y'all not connecting the
• 38:02
  dots? Are y'all not seeing that this is a pattern that this seems to
• 38:12
  be the moo anytime a white person shoots a black person. I was in
• 38:21
  fear of my life. Oh, I thought they were gonna hurt me.
• 38:27
  If you felt that way, Miss Susan, why didn't you call the police?
• 38:36
  I'll wait. I'm gonna wait on that, because if you were in
• 38:43
  your home and you have a ring camp the time it took for you to
• 38:50
  get your gun, load your gun and shoot, you could have called the
• 38:53
  police if you felt that way. If you felt like you were in some
• 39:01
  type of imminent danger, you could have done that. There are options,
• 39:07
  But I'm gonna tell you what I think. I really feel like this is
• 39:15
  what you wanted to do. I'm with you, Sis, I feel like
• 39:19
  this was premeditated, like you wanted to do this. You wanted to shoot
• 39:23
  this woman because reports say this is not the first altercation that you've had with
• 39:31
  this woman and her babies. So I feel like you felt in this war
• 39:43
  mind of yours, that you were justified in doing this. Hey, she's
• 39:45
  trying to come into my home. But witnesses say that's not even true.
• 39:55
  Mister g K didn't have a weapon. You assaulted her children. Mister GK
• 40:06
  reacted in a way a normal parent is gonna act when you come for their
• 40:10
  children. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Because I'm telling you
• 40:17
  you do something to my children, I'm coming to knock on your door.
• 40:23
  Period, I'm confronting you behind my children, especially if you are the aggressor.
• 40:32
  Now, if it's the other way around. Now, if my children
• 40:35
  are causing a problem, then I'm gonna address my children. But in this
• 40:37
  situation, these children are outside playing. They live in an apartment complex.
• 40:45
  And for you to carry your ass out there and tell these people, these
• 40:50
  children, that they need to get off your land, and then you're shouting
• 40:52
  racial slurs to these children, then you not only did you verbal assault,
• 41:00
  but you physically assaulted these children, and you kill the mother. Show me
• 41:07
  how two plus two equals five? Baby showed me that. Because the math
• 41:15
  ain't madden. Ain't that what them young folks say, the math ain't Madthen
• 41:19
  two plus two ain't. It's not equaling five or four. I'm sorry,
• 41:24
  it's not adding up to me. But we see this daily again. We
• 41:32
  saw this Trayvon Martin. I remember another incident in Florida at the Dollar Tree
• 41:39
  where a man parked in the handicap parking spot and he ran into the store
• 41:45
  and the man came and was yelling at the at the young man's wife or
• 41:50
  girlfriend, and he comes out of the store and they get into it,
• 41:54
  and this white man shoots this black man in the parking lot. And it's
• 41:58
  on surveillance. This man is on his knees and you shoot this man.
• 42:06
  We saw this with Jordan Davis in Florida, less than a year after Trayvon
• 42:14
  Martin was killed. That's let me tell y'all, that's how long I've been
• 42:17
  I've been rallying for this. We saw this with Jordan Davis at a service
• 42:23
  station. Him and his four of his friends at the at the service station
• 42:29
  got the music cut up loud. Michael Dunn decides he wants to take the
• 42:31
  law into his own hand, and he shoots in this vehicle, killing Jordan
• 42:37
  Davis. And then you leave and go to your hotel room. You walk
• 42:43
  your dog like nothing. I am for protecting yourself. I am all for
• 42:55
  that, because you come for me. I promise you, I'm gonna protect
• 42:59
  myself, even if that means putting you in a bag, a box,
• 43:01
  or earned whatever the situation is. I'm all for protecting myself and protecting my
• 43:06
  family. I'm all for that. But if you were in no imminent threat,
• 43:12
  call the police. Let the police do this. That that's what the
• 43:14
  hell they get paid to do. This is their job. You were in
• 43:21
  your home, miss Susan. You could have called the police when you went
• 43:25
  in your house. Why didn't you call the police. That's what I don't
• 43:31
  understand. Why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you let the law
• 43:38
  handle that? But no, you want to be like George Zimmerman and take
• 43:44
  the law into your own hands. And now four children have lost their mother
• 43:50
  because of you. Because you antagonize the situation. You progressed the situation,
• 44:00
  heightened the situation. And now this young woman is dead and four children and
• 44:06
  I'm gonna see it again, and four children or without their mother because of
• 44:14
  you. Because you chose to act selfishly, because you didn't think irrationally.
• 44:22
  You chose to act irrationally. You chose to act off of your emotions,
• 44:30
  and now these babies are left to suffer because of your decision. I hope
• 44:40
  Miss Susan, you never sleep another day in your life. I hope that
• 44:47
  mister Gk's face haunts you the rest of your life. I hope it does.
• 44:55
  These children, especially the ten year old that was st next to his
• 45:00
  mother when she was shot. It's gonna need intense therapy. I'm I'm,
• 45:15
  I'm really trying to keep my composure because I'm a mother, a lot of
• 45:23
  a lot of the a lot of y'all parents too. Some of y'all men
• 45:29
  that you know, y'all can have niece's nephews, whatever that you consider your
• 45:32
  child. Y'all feel my pain. Y'all feel a g case for children's pain,
• 45:45
  because these babies are gonna need some intense therapy. That baby that was
• 45:50
  standing next to his mother when she was shot, that is going to haunt
• 45:57
  that baby the rest of his life. Y'all don't know the guilt, the
• 46:05
  hurt, because these babies are gonna feel like this was their fault. Had
• 46:10
  they never had they never went to get her, she would still be a
• 46:14
  lot. And I can almost guarantee that that's how these babies are thinking right
• 46:19
  now. Man, I wish I never wouldn't win. It got my mom,
• 46:28
  I would still she would still be here with me. I'm pretty sure
• 46:30
  that's what the baby is thinking. All because of you, miss Susan,
• 46:35
  All because of you, all because you decided you want to take the law
• 46:42
  into your own hands. All because you decided to be George Zimmerman's sister.
• 46:47
  That's what you decided. This is who was taken so brutally from her children.
• 46:58
  This is mister G. K. J Owens black mother's matter. Y'all.
• 47:09
  Y'all took this woman from her children. You took her, this animal
• 47:17
  right here. You took this woman from her children because you felt like you
• 47:29
  wanted to, because you lied and said I'm in danger. She posed the
• 47:34
  imminent threat to me. I was in fear of my life. How you
• 47:40
  were inside the house. You shot her through the door. She came and
• 47:46
  knocked on your door, and you shot if she was trying to come into
• 47:53
  your home and she was threatening you and you felt like you were in danger.
• 48:00
  You could have called the police. The time it took for you to
• 48:02
  carry your ugly ass into that house to load your gun, grab your gun,
• 48:09
  go to the door. You could have called the police. Period.
• 48:17
  Y'all can't make me feel y'all can't make me think differently. You can't make
• 48:22
  me think differently. I promise you. You cannot make me feel and think
• 48:25
  differently. Hey, big brother, will the third he says, I heard
• 48:30
  about this today. Yeah, brother, this happened Sunday, Sunday. These
• 48:40
  babies, y'all out here, these children, these babies outside planning. They
• 48:52
  live in an apartment complex. Brother, So, so let me run it
• 48:55
  back for everyone just tuning in y'all again, Welcome to another episode a Black
• 49:00
  Girl Interrupted podcast. Tonight. I am talking about A gk Owens, the
• 49:06
  mother of four, the black mother of four that was killed by her fifty
• 49:14
  eight year old white neighbor in O'calla, Florida. This happened Sunday. So,
• 49:21
  brother, let me, let me let me catch you up, bring
• 49:22
  you up to speed. So they live in an apartment complex. Okay,
• 49:28
  for everyone, just tuning in again, I am talking about A gk Owens.
• 49:31
  This was their mother, the black mother of four in O'calla, Florida,
• 49:36
  that was killed at the hands of her fifty eight year old white neighbor
• 49:38
  Susan LaRence. So, these children outside playing, it's summertime, you know,
• 49:45
  children out of school, having a good time in an apartment complex.
• 49:49
  Anyone that has lived in an apartment or lives in an apartment, you know
• 49:52
  how apartments are set up. Kids outside playing. She comes outside. She's
• 49:58
  screaming, yelling at the children, telling all get off my land, shouting
• 50:02
  racial slurs at these children. She then proceeds to take the iPad from one
• 50:09
  of the babies, one of the children, and I believe she throws it
• 50:15
  to the ground and it breaks. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, if
• 50:20
  I'm if I'm missing something, or if I'm adding something, y'all, y'all
• 50:23
  let me know. So she threw a roller skate at the three year old,
• 50:35
  which prompted the fourteen year old to go get the ten year old to
• 50:39
  go get the mother. No, she swung an umbrella. I'm so sorry.
• 50:45
  Let me let me back up. So she swung an umbrella at the
• 50:47
  children, which prompted the ten year old to go get the mother. So
• 50:52
  by this time, Miss Susan is back in her house. She's back in
• 50:54
  her house. She's not even outside anymore. So a GK comes and knocks
• 51:00
  on the door. A gk Owens comes and knocks on the door and miss
• 51:05
  Susan immediately shoots through the door, hitting mister gk Owens in the chest,
• 51:12
  who later succumbed to her injuries that night, that evening. Now you're the
• 51:20
  antagonized that you're the aggressor in this situation because these children are bothering you.
• 51:25
  They're not bothering you, but you decide to come and you poke at these
• 51:30
  children. Then you you throw you assault these children by throwing objects at these
• 51:37
  children. A roll escape. I believe the iPad got broken. So misster
• 51:49
  gk comes and knocks on your door and you shoot through the door. Then
• 51:53
  you scream stay in your ground. I was in fear of my life,
• 52:01
  but you were in the house. And I'm gonna say this again, and
• 52:08
  then brother, she wasn't arrested until today. And the only reason she was
• 52:15
  arrested is because the people came out and were protesting for her to be arrested.
• 52:21
  That's the only reason she was arrested today. The only reason because had
• 52:27
  it like I said, and I'm gonna say it again, had it have
• 52:30
  been a black man or a black woman that shot a white child, they
• 52:34
  would have been arrested on site. It wouldn't have been old. We got
• 52:37
  to collect evidence, we gotta get statements, no baby, they would have
• 52:40
  been arrested on site. But that was the only reason she was arrested today.
• 52:50
  The only reason she was arrested today was because the citizens, even people
• 52:57
  that didn't even live in the neighborhood, came in were pro testing for this
• 53:00
  woman to be arrested. That's the only reason she was arrested today. She's
• 53:05
  been charged with voluntary manslaughter and I believe two counts of assault. I believe
• 53:09
  that's what I think. It's two counts of assault. It might be three,
• 53:13
  but I know the first charge is voluntary manslaughter. And I'm with you,
• 53:20
  brother, So where the third set? Seems like these people are starting
• 53:23
  to hunt us using the excuse I feel threatned. I said that earlier.
• 53:28
  They've been utilizing to stand your ground law to get away with murder. We
• 53:31
  saw this with Trey von Martin. We saw this in the Jordan Davis tribe.
• 53:36
  We saw this with the man I cannot remember his name, y'all,
• 53:39
  but I know, brother, you remember the young man that was at the
• 53:43
  Dollar Tree that had parked in the handicap parking spot and he didn't have the
• 53:46
  handicap decalin. And the white man came and was screaming at the at the
• 53:51
  wife. And so when a black man came out the store. Uh,
• 53:55
  And it's surveillance video where you see the black man down on his knees and
• 53:59
  the white man has his gun pointed at We see this all the time.
• 54:04
  So I want, when are they gonna stop using stand your ground laws to
• 54:07
  get away with murder again? We Trey von Martin, we saw this,
• 54:13
  We saw this, We saw this. Big brother Will says, the whole
• 54:19
  interaction was her BND aggressive, absolutely because these children were not bothering you.
• 54:24
  But there have been reports brother that this is what she does. And allegedly
• 54:31
  this is not the first altercation between miss A GK and Miss Susan, that
• 54:39
  this has been an ongoing feud between these two. So to me, you're
• 54:45
  planning this. This was just your way to try to get away with it,
• 54:50
  because you turned around and said, oh, she was trying to come
• 54:52
  into my house, but you have a ring came and again if you we're
• 55:00
  in your home and the time that it took for you to get your gun
• 55:07
  loaded up. You could have called the police. But we saw this just
• 55:15
  a month ago with Ralph Yarrow, the sixteen year old who went to the
• 55:20
  wrong door to pick up his siblings and was shocked because a white man said,
• 55:28
  oh, he was trying to come into my home. This constantly keeps
• 55:35
  happening, y'all. This is the everyday thing. I told y'all, this
• 55:37
  is the m O. Every time a black unarmed black man or black woman
• 55:45
  is skilled. This is ever read time, y'all. We see this every
• 55:52
  case. Oh, I was, I was in fear of my life.
• 55:54
  I was, I felt threatened, but you were the aggressor. Again,
• 56:00
  we could go back and we could talk about Trey Von Martin, George Zimmerman.
• 56:02
  They told you stay back, we got officers on the way, but
• 56:07
  no, you want to take a top flight security ass over there. And
• 56:14
  now Trey Viy Martin is dead and you're walking free because they found you're not
• 56:20
  guilty based on stand your ground. This is the same state that allowed Caseay
• 56:27
  Anthony to get away with killing her baby. Okay, make it make sense
• 56:36
  to me, y'all. Make this make sense to me, because I don't
• 56:39
  understand why this keeps happening. I just I don't get it. I don't
• 56:44
  understand. What is it gonna take for this to stop? Is it gonna
• 56:49
  take for us to start killing white kids? And I'm asking a serious question.
• 56:54
  This is not a rhetorical question. I'm asking honestly, because it's almost
• 57:02
  y'all pick and choose when to stand your ground law applies. We got Marissa
• 57:08
  Alexander in Florida who shot in the air because her baby daddy was beating her
• 57:15
  up, and she got twenty years in prison. Y'all make it makes sense
• 57:20
  to me. Make it makes sense to me. This right here, this,
• 57:28
  how long I've been I've been advocating for this baby. This how long
• 57:30
  I've been standing tintoes down to fight for the rights of us. I do
• 57:36
  this. I don't talk about it. I be about it. Do you
• 57:38
  hit me? I'm about what I talk about. To stand your ground shit,
• 57:45
  it's gotta end. Y'all can't pick and choose when that law applies.
• 57:52
  Y'all got to stop doing that. Florida and any other state that has to
• 57:55
  stand your ground law, y'all gotta stop picking and choosing when it applies.
• 58:00
  Baby, if it's gonna apply, it needs to apply across the board,
• 58:02
  white, black, purple, yellow, greener, indifferent. Baby, it
• 58:06
  needs to apply to everybody. Y'all get the pick and choose. Y'all wanted
• 58:12
  to apply, when y'all wanted to apply, math ain't man, and y'all
• 58:17
  it's not it ain't mad. Y'all don't get the right. Y'all don't get
• 58:25
  that right no more. We gotta take the power back from them because this
• 58:29
  is too much. Every time you turn around, y'all, they always say,
• 58:32
  oh, I'm in fear of my life. I felt threatened. Policea
• 58:37
  using it. Now they're using it on the street because y'all's president Donald Trump
• 58:40
  made it cool to be a racist now. So now we're seeing all the
• 58:45
  ancestors and their children coming out here killing our black child, our black boys
• 58:52
  and black girls, our black women and our black men. They're a free
• 58:58
  of us because we're powerful. Black is strength, Baby. They fear that,
• 59:07
  they fear strength. But the only way they're gonna fear us we gotta
• 59:13
  collectively come together. Baby. We got to come together because we're strong.
• 59:16
  Getting numbers. I'm telling you, we gotta start meeting them where they meet
• 59:22
  us at. I'm not advocating for y'all to go out and doto Christopher Dorner.
• 59:30
  I'm not advocating for that. But what I am saying I need to
• 59:35
  start meeting you with the same energy you meeting me at. I need to
• 59:38
  start getting my links back. That's what I need to start doing. I
• 59:52
  got I gotta get my link back. Y'all, y'all are really this is
• 59:57
  modern day mentioned. Whether y'all believe it or not, this is modern day
• 1:00:01
  lynching. Y'all can act like Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder if you want to,
• 1:00:07
  but this is this is modern day lynching. They're already fighting to bring
• 1:00:13
  hanging back. They damn they're on their way now, they're on their weight.
• 1:00:22
  But y'all don't seem to care. What if this is your child?
• 1:00:29
  What if this is your children outside playing and you got someone that comes and
• 1:00:36
  is antagonizing your child. Now we have four children without a mother, all
• 1:00:43
  because a white woman decided to take the law into her own hands. You're
• 1:00:46
  in your home, you're looking through your ring camera, and I'm gonna say
• 1:00:50
  it again, the time it took for you to go in your home,
• 1:00:52
  close that door, load that gun up and cock that gun. You could
• 1:00:57
  have called the police, but you assaulted Hut children. You brought your humpty
• 1:01:01
  dumpty ass outside and telling them children, Oh, get off my land.
• 1:01:07
  I want to see the deed to that land that you own in those apartment
• 1:01:10
  complex. Like I say, you didn't even own the units. So how
• 1:01:15
  you gonna tell somebody to get off your land and you don't even own the
• 1:01:19
  unit? Make it make sense, ma'am. Come on, miss Susan.
• 1:01:23
  And then the only reason she got arrested today, it's because people had to
• 1:01:28
  go out there in protest. And I'm gonna say it again and again.
• 1:01:32
  Y'all can get on your soap box and say, oh my gosh, she's
• 1:01:35
  being racist. Call me whatever the fuck you wanna call me, but call
• 1:01:39
  what I'm saying the truth. Because had it been a black person, a
• 1:01:44
  black man, or a black woman that shot a white child, you would
• 1:01:51
  have been arrested that night. Baby. They wouldn't. They weren't have waited
• 1:01:52
  to getting the witness statements, no, none of that. Oh, they
• 1:01:55
  would have got them. But after you were arrested and charged. That's when
• 1:02:05
  after you had been arrested in charge because you would have been arrested on site.
• 1:02:08
  Tell me I'm lying. Tell me I'm lying. No questions would have
• 1:02:16
  been asked. They don't care who was the aggressor. All they know is
• 1:02:22
  that a black person shot a white child. That's all. That's how they
• 1:02:25
  would have been looking at it. M Yeah, y'all know, I'm telling
• 1:02:30
  the truth. I told y'all, I'm shaking the table this time. I'm
• 1:02:36
  waking it up. I'm having these uncomfortable conversations. I don't care if you
• 1:02:39
  like them or not, but they're gonna be needed, and they're gonna be
• 1:02:42
  had, and they're warranted because this could be your story that I'm sitting up
• 1:02:46
  here talking about. This could be your story. I could be up here
• 1:02:50
  talking about your child. I could be up here talking about your husband.
• 1:02:52
  I could be up here talking about your wife, your mother, your father.
• 1:02:54
  This could be rule reversal, reversal rules. I'm sorry, let me
• 1:03:00
  let me get that straight. But again in Florida, and then look at
• 1:03:05
  the scientists, Go figure, Go figure, go figure. I'm sick of
• 1:03:16
  this, y'all. Like y'all, y'all just don't even understand. Will the
• 1:03:21
  thirst as black people need to stay armed in Florida. Hey, they are
• 1:03:24
  armed, and guess what, they still go to jail. They still get
• 1:03:29
  convicted of murder. Thank god for the football player to day. Rudolph was
• 1:03:35
  his last name that was found not guilty on all fortune for charges because these
• 1:03:43
  men approached him at his home and attacked his girlfriend, and he shot and
• 1:03:45
  killed one of them. He got off to date. And y'all know,
• 1:03:52
  we never see that. We never see that, We never see that.
• 1:04:00
  Pay Cousin Will the third says, it's sad when we have to make the
• 1:04:06
  cops do their job. You need to pay me. I need to get
• 1:04:09
  on pay roll. If I got to get out and I got to do
• 1:04:13
  your job, I need to get paid. That's like when I go to
• 1:04:15
  Walmart and I gotta go through self checkout, I need a W two at
• 1:04:17
  the end of the year, I need I need to run me all my
• 1:04:21
  coins for every time that I gotta go through self checkout, every time I
• 1:04:25
  gotta do your job, I need to get paid for that. I gotta
• 1:04:30
  get paid for that. Jule says, yeah, I remember that that man
• 1:04:34
  had a son with him, Yes he did. Will says, when we
• 1:04:40
  start having shootouts in the streets to a wife, absolutely, because I'm telling
• 1:04:45
  you that's that's that's about what it's gonna boil down to. And again,
• 1:04:49
  I'm not advocating. I'm not telling y'all to go out here and start World
• 1:04:53
  War two, I mean world War five. I'm not telling I'm not advocating
• 1:04:56
  for that. But I'm telling you we're gonna start meeting with the same energy
• 1:05:00
  y'all give us. Christopher Dorner showed y'all. If y'all don't know who Christopher
• 1:05:08
  Dorner is, google him, Google him. Christopher Dorner d old n e
• 1:05:16
  R. Google him. Look him up, because he showed y'all. Yeah,
• 1:05:28
  so yeah he did. He did witness his father getting murdered. And
• 1:05:30
  who she's speaking about is the is the man that was killed in the dot
• 1:05:33
  in the Dollar Tree parking lot for parking in a handicap parking spot in a
• 1:05:38
  white man came out like he was parking lot patrol, like he was parking
• 1:05:43
  lot Paul, and got upset because he the black man parked in a handicapped
• 1:05:47
  spot and he didn't have a handicapp decall. He ended up shooting the man
• 1:05:50
  in the parking lot. Big brother Will said, that's what it's gonna stop.
• 1:06:00
  Hey Tee, I love you baby, My Sagittarius, I love you
• 1:06:03
  baby, Will says why it is right in Florida, Absolute y'all remember the
• 1:06:10
  Jordan Davis. Jordan Davis was a seventeen year old black kid that was sitting
• 1:06:14
  in the car with his four friends. They were at the gas station,
• 1:06:16
  uh, and Michael Dunn pulled up and complained because the music was too loud
• 1:06:21
  in the parking lot, and he shot into the car and Jordan Davis ended
• 1:06:26
  up dying, and Michael Dunn left and went on to his holetail room and
• 1:06:30
  walked his doll all that like like, oh, y'all shot this black boy,
• 1:06:32
  but who cares? But said he was in fear of his life.
• 1:06:38
  But he ended up getting life in prison, so thank god for that.
• 1:06:43
  But the girlfriend's testimony is what got his ass locked up. But Will the
• 1:06:48
  third say, Yep, she didn't hit anyone. And that's Marissa Alexander who
• 1:06:53
  fired a warning shot. But they sentenced her because they said because our children
• 1:06:57
  were upstairs asleep and she could have hit one of the children when she fired
• 1:07:00
  the gun in the house. But let me, let me, let me
• 1:07:05
  double back to that because brother, it's almost like you can't win for losing.
• 1:07:10
  So if she would have shot the husband, she still would have went
• 1:07:15
  to prison. So she didn't win either way. And the sad part about
• 1:07:18
  the store with Marissa Alexander is the husband admitted that he was beating her up
• 1:07:25
  at the time she fired the gun and they still sendenced her to twenty years
• 1:07:29
  in prison. Thank god, she's home, but she still had to go.
• 1:07:32
  She went, and she had to sit down for a few years before
• 1:07:34
  they released her. That's the sad part of this. Titia, says a
• 1:07:43
  man. Brendan Brown says, they definitely do. They took it. They
• 1:07:48
  took it from the ex football player who was standing in his ground when he
• 1:07:50
  was attacked in his home. He is one of the few that was found
• 1:07:54
  not guilty. Absolutely, that's the Rudolf is his last name, I can't
• 1:07:59
  remember, but his first name, but Rudolph who played in the NFL briefly
• 1:08:03
  and again, was attacked at his home. They attacked a girlfriend and he
• 1:08:10
  fired and he killed one of them. And he was found to day not
• 1:08:14
  guilty of all four charges, all four accounts. But that's rare. Ta
• 1:08:21
  Tsha say truth, big brother Wilson. They called Christopher a serial killer,
• 1:08:28
  but he was tired of the BS absolutely because he had reported the police brutality
• 1:08:33
  of his partner and they did nothing about him and they ended up firing him.
• 1:08:41
  So he said, Okay, I'm gonna do. Y'all want better,
• 1:08:44
  But again in Florida, that stand your ground. These people are using stand
• 1:08:54
  your ground to get away with murder and it's working. When is this shit
• 1:09:02
  gonna stop? Y'all? I just I don't understand why this keeps happening again.
• 1:09:12
  This is modern day slavery, y'all. They're hunting us. We are
• 1:09:15
  the prey and for y'all. Oh, y'all just want to throw the race.
• 1:09:21
  Y'all always want to make it about race. But this was about race.
• 1:09:27
  This was absolutely about race. The witnesses that were out there said that
• 1:09:32
  this is not the first time that this woman has done this, This is
• 1:09:40
  not the first time. I'm with you, t We've tell I'm telling we
• 1:09:45
  are the most let me say this, We are the most forgiving people in
• 1:09:49
  the world. Oh, he didn't mean it or she didn't mean it.
• 1:09:54
  Oh, you know, it's it's not y'all always want to make stuff about
• 1:09:57
  race. When are y'all gonna open y'all. Let me say this to y'all,
• 1:10:00
  y'all need to stop acting like Ray Charles and Stevie wanted to take your
• 1:10:04
  blue blockers off and see what's going on in this world. Stop y'all keep
• 1:10:12
  saying old, but but but what about us black people? We're killing each
• 1:10:15
  other? Y'all always want to deflect from that. Why can't y'all never hold
• 1:10:20
  white people accountable for the bullshit that they do in this world? I really
• 1:10:25
  just don't understand. We are so forgiving. I'm tired of forgiving. I'm
• 1:10:30
  tired of turning the other cheek. I'm tired of oh, well, you
• 1:10:36
  know, he didn't mean to do it, it was that. I'm tired
• 1:10:41
  of that because that could be one of my children, that could be one
• 1:10:46
  of your children, Or you gonna keep that same energy when it's one of
• 1:10:49
  your children. Teachers say at for a, that's what they're saying the Bible,
• 1:10:56
  that's what they do in these foreign countries. You're still from you still
• 1:11:00
  from someone in one of these foreign countries. Guess what they cutting your hand
• 1:11:03
  off, They cutting your finger off. You're being punished. We are the
• 1:11:08
  only state and and the only group of people that forgive the bullshit that they
• 1:11:15
  keep doing. I understand now when Kanye West says slavery is a mentality,
• 1:11:27
  I understand now, Yeah, I really do. And you're right, George
• 1:11:36
  Zimmerman is still walking free, bragging about killing him because he was trying to
• 1:11:44
  sell the gun that wasn't the gun that he used to kill trayvonmar He was
• 1:11:48
  trying to shoot it up the salad, Britta says, or finding justification on
• 1:11:56
  why the black person was in the wrong and why it was made okay for
• 1:11:59
  them to do right. And then the first thing y'all say is but we're
• 1:12:06
  killing each other, okay. But the thing about it, when ray Ray
• 1:12:13
  kills Mookie, Ray Ray goes to prison, okay, Rayway goes to jail.
• 1:12:18
  There's no plead deals, no, none of that. Railway gets time.
• 1:12:25
  But we have someone like George Zimmerman who got away with killing Trey Von
• 1:12:30
  Martin after they told Joe goofy ass, we don't need you following him fall
• 1:12:36
  back. We got offices on the way. But you were the aggressor in
• 1:12:43
  this situation. That's like this situation right here with a gk Owens this beautiful
• 1:12:48
  black mother of four who was brutally robbed of her life because Miss Susan decides
• 1:12:57
  she wants to go outside. You want to antagon these beautiful black children who
• 1:13:01
  are outside playing in an apartment complex. Not only did you take the iPad
• 1:13:09
  from one of these babies, you threw a roller skate and hit one of
• 1:13:13
  these children. Then you swung an umbrella at these children, which prompted this
• 1:13:16
  baby to go get his mother. You're in your home. You shoot through
• 1:13:24
  the door, shoot him as a gk Owens in the chest, who later
• 1:13:27
  succumbed to her injuries. And then you lied and said, oh, she
• 1:13:31
  was trying to come into my house. She was trying to turn my door
• 1:13:33
  knob. Y'all, we heard this with Ralph. Ralph, y'all, what
• 1:13:40
  an about a month ago. That's the sixteen year old that was picking his
• 1:13:45
  twin brothers up and went to the wrong house. The man that shot him
• 1:13:49
  said, oh, this baby was trying to come into his house. This
• 1:13:51
  is the emo that they use. Do y'all not understand this? Do y'all
• 1:13:56
  not see this? Are y'all not grasping the concept that they are trying to
• 1:14:00
  eliminate us. They're trying to exterminate us, and y'all don't fucking see that.
• 1:14:08
  Y'all don't seem to understand. And y'all, y'all, and do your
• 1:14:14
  understand why I'm so passionate every time I do a show, and I gotta
• 1:14:17
  do an episode like this, because I would want y'all to go hard like
• 1:14:23
  this for me, as hard as I'm gonna go for y'all if this was
• 1:14:28
  y'all, Because I'm gonna go hard. I'm gonna stand ten toes down in
• 1:14:31
  the wall with y'all. I'm gonna do whatever I gotta do to protect anyone
• 1:14:35
  that look like me, because white people got the complexion for the protection.
• 1:14:41
  Baby, we don't. So if I don't fight for us, who will
• 1:14:47
  who's gonna do it? Because a lot of y'all be talking, but y'all
• 1:14:51
  don't walk the wall. Baby. I hear a lot of y'all talking.
• 1:14:54
  I see a lot of y'all live posts and stuff like that, but y'all
• 1:14:57
  don't be out there walking the wall. Y'all talk. I want to talk,
• 1:15:00
  but y'all not walk in the wall. Y'all keep saying, well,
• 1:15:03
  well, our voices don't make a difference. Yes, it does. How
• 1:15:05
  you know how you know that's right? Because y'all gonna stand in the line
• 1:15:13
  for Jordan's y'all gonna stand in the line for iPhones, but you won't go
• 1:15:17
  stand in line in the vote. Okay, make it make sense to me.
• 1:15:27
  Show me how two plus two week goal spot? Are we carrying the
• 1:15:30
  one? Are we subtracting to what? What are we doing? Y'all?
• 1:15:32
  Make me understand? T say we allowed it. Absolutely, We allow a
• 1:15:41
  lot. We give people too minute passes. When are we gonna stand tintoes
• 1:15:49
  down and say enough is enough? Hey, Sissy, UM, I want
• 1:15:57
  to get with you. Um, I'm gonna an episode next week. I
• 1:16:00
  definitely want you to be a part of it, so we'll talk after this.
• 1:16:03
  I really want you to be a part of the show. T say
• 1:16:08
  they don't respect us, Brandon, say all facts hard time, because that's
• 1:16:15
  what happens. If we were to go and kill a white child. We're
• 1:16:25
  going right to jail, no questions, as they're not collecting evidence. They're
• 1:16:31
  not waiting for witness statements, no, none of that. They're not waiting
• 1:16:35
  on surveillance footage, none of that. We're going straight to jail. Sad
• 1:16:43
  but true. We're living. This is modern day slavery that's going on right
• 1:16:49
  now, modern day slavery. This is this is what's happening. And they're
• 1:16:57
  killing us every day and get no jail time. Kim Potter, who killed
• 1:17:04
  Dante Wright, only did what sixteen months and she's home. Yeah again,
• 1:17:15
  y'all. In Florida, Marissa Alexander excuse me, was given twenty years for
• 1:17:25
  shooting a warning firing a warning shot because the husband was jumping on her.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah, this happens every day, and y'all say and do nothing. Yeah,
• 1:17:45
  I said it. I don't care. I come to shake the table
• 1:17:54
  all the time. I come to push the envelope. I come to push
• 1:17:57
  the needle. I come to move the gold post, whatever I want to
• 1:18:00
  call it. That's what I do. But one is enough, gonna be
• 1:18:06
  enough. I just don't get it. I really just don't understand. But
• 1:18:21
  again, for those just tuning in, y'all, welcome back to another episode
• 1:18:25
  of Black Girl Interrupted podcast. I am talking about the murder of A.
• 1:18:30
  Gk Owens, the mother of for the Black mother of four an o'calla Florida,
• 1:18:34
  that was killed at the hands of her fifty eight year old white neighbor
• 1:18:38
  Susan Lorenz. So here's the video of the police officer speaking about arresting Miss
• 1:18:46
  Susan Lorenz. Today breaking news. The woman accused of shooting and killing a
• 1:18:53
  mother for an ocale is now in custody. Thanks for joining us tonight.
• 1:18:56
  I'm John Brown, and I'm Luis and Sorelle Fox thirty five's Valerie Voyas live
• 1:19:00
  right now outside the Marion County Sheriff's office in Valerie. We understand that the
• 1:19:03
  sheriff is with you right now. That's right, Lewine. You know,
• 1:19:10
  I had just been told that the ACU shooter is in custody, and at
• 1:19:14
  that moment I was told she had not yet been arrested. But now joining
• 1:19:17
  me is a sheriff Billy Woods. And Sheriff Woods tell me has she been
• 1:19:20
  arrested yet? She has been arrested. She's here on our campus here,
• 1:19:26
  she's being there. My detectives are finishing up with some interviews with her at
• 1:19:30
  this time, and then once they have concluded, she will be escorted into
• 1:19:33
  the county jail. And is her name being released yet at this moment,
• 1:19:38
  No, it's not, but here soon it will be and it'll be out
• 1:19:41
  there in a press release that my pios are about to give out. And
• 1:19:45
  can you tell me what was it that determined she did shoot this woman and
• 1:19:50
  that it was not an act of self defense. You know, the whole
• 1:19:55
  time we had only one side of the story. Okay, we know that
• 1:19:58
  she's shot through the door. Of course, on her side of the story,
• 1:20:01
  she may claims that her life was being threatened. And the way the
• 1:20:06
  laws are written in this statement, this is what people need to understand that
• 1:20:10
  our hands are tied in law enforcement in these cases where we are instructed that
• 1:20:14
  we cannot make their rests because we have to rule out whether the shooting was
• 1:20:20
  justified or unjustified. So one of the biggest things of the interview of witnesses,
• 1:20:26
  and some of our witnesses were the mother's kids. And obviously we were
• 1:20:31
  not going to interview them that night after watching their mother be shot and killed.
• 1:20:35
  Okay, So we did it and on Monday morning so that they sat
• 1:20:40
  down on counselors. They didn't. It wasn't my investigators is to do this
• 1:20:44
  the right way so that they can sit down and the counselors can talk to
• 1:20:47
  them to get the children to talk, and they did and we got a
• 1:20:50
  bigger picture, and we got the full picture and a lot of the hard
• 1:20:54
  work and my detectives wanted to ensure that we closed all the loopholes so that
• 1:21:00
  she would not have a defense of using stand the ground law. And this
• 1:21:04
  is not a stand the ground Okay, let me make that clear. This
• 1:21:08
  was not and it was an unjustified shooting of miss Owen and she's arrested for
• 1:21:16
  it. And what was it like for you to see the protests, to
• 1:21:21
  see the emotions so high saying why hasn't there been at us yet? You
• 1:21:26
  know, it's frustrating internally because there's so much information like myself, as CEOs
• 1:21:31
  and law enforcement have we know the direction is going and we can't give out
• 1:21:35
  information and it's difficult because here's the truth. Did we want to make the
• 1:21:40
  arrest that night. Absolutely we did, There's no doubt about it. It's
• 1:21:44
  tragic when we see somebody that just shoots through a door and shoots another human
• 1:21:47
  being, really just because of a neighborhood squabble. That's what it boiled down
• 1:21:51
  to. And it's extremely frustrating because these people that come and let me make
• 1:21:58
  this clear, this is not what we saw today was not my community.
• 1:22:00
  Now they'll stand up for what they believe in, but that was not Marian
• 1:22:03
  County. And the majority of these people that come, they're not even from
• 1:22:06
  this community. There not even from this state. And my community knows that
• 1:22:11
  justice will be served, and justice will serve tonight from my office and we
• 1:22:15
  will get it through the prosecution. And that's the other part of the processes
• 1:22:18
  is that we have to ensure that the case we build and we give it
• 1:22:21
  to the State Attorney's office that when it does go to trial, it's sealed.
• 1:22:27
  And we all know, we know it's up to the jurors when it
• 1:22:30
  comes to a case if she even goes that far, but we want to
• 1:22:33
  ensure that we haven't missed anything. And my detectives work hard, vigiontly,
• 1:22:39
  and they've been working hard and vigilantly since that night. And so what will
• 1:22:43
  the charge be right now? The first charge is manslaughter with the firearm,
• 1:22:46
  culpable negligence because of the children being present. Third, because of the incident
• 1:22:54
  with the children just prior. The additional charges are assault and battery on the
• 1:22:58
  children o'selves before the shooting that occurred, and was the ring video of this
• 1:23:01
  whole incident that one, I don't know, okay, if top, but
• 1:23:09
  it was really the children that and any other witnesses in which we had more
• 1:23:14
  of the ring thing is just affirmed to us of what we were looking for
• 1:23:18
  is her possibly deleting ring video. So I don't know personally, I do
• 1:23:24
  not have all of that information at this time to be able to give you.
• 1:23:27
  Okay, well, thank you very much, appreciate your look. Okay,
• 1:23:30
  and as you just heard, that accused shooter has been arrested. She
• 1:23:34
  is in custody and soon we will learn her name. Reporting live in o'calla
• 1:23:40
  Valerie Boy, Fox thirty five News salary. Thank you for that update.
• 1:23:44
  Again, that woman is going to be charged, according to the sheriff,
• 1:23:46
  with manslaughter, negligence and assault and battery for the attack on the children.
• 1:23:54
  And you can, of course depend on Fox thirty five to stay on top
• 1:23:57
  of this story. You can get the latest updates on the Fox thirty five
• 1:24:00
  News app, turn on your notifications and we will. Y'all, just don't
• 1:24:12
  understand, these stories never get easier for me, no matter how many times
• 1:24:19
  justice has served it just it never gets easier for me to get up here
• 1:24:25
  and tell these stories. Teachers say he is sincere. We'll see, we'll
• 1:24:30
  see. Um. I do agree, you know, with him having,
• 1:24:36
  you know, waiting to speak to the children when they had account I definitely,
• 1:24:40
  I wholeheartedly agree on that. But what I don't agree with this had
• 1:24:44
  they have been had again, had it have been a black person, a
• 1:24:47
  black man, or a black woman that shot through their door and shot a
• 1:24:51
  white child, or a white woman or a white man, I absolutely refuse
• 1:24:57
  to believe that they would have waited on an arrest. I just I refuse
• 1:25:01
  to believe that because we see it far too often. Maybe he's different,
• 1:25:06
  But I'm gonna be honest with you. My faith in the law hasn't been
• 1:25:12
  so good. It just it has not. My faith in the judicial system
• 1:25:15
  has it just it just has not. It. It's not good. It's
• 1:25:21
  not good, you know. But again, my heart goes out to these
• 1:25:30
  children because these children were raw. They lost their mother. Not only did
• 1:25:40
  they lose her, but they were there, they witnessed their mother's life being
• 1:25:45
  taken by a racist woman, a cruel, evil spirited woman. Because only
• 1:25:58
  only only demonic and evil spirited people do hainous things like this. Again.
• 1:26:05
  We saw this last week in South Carolina with the fourteen year old who was
• 1:26:12
  shot by the store owner after it was alleged he was stealing water. We
• 1:26:17
  see this all the time, but I want to end by seeing this.
• 1:26:30
  Stop using stay in your ground to get away with murder, because that seems
• 1:26:35
  to be the emo. But every last one of these cases, whether the
• 1:26:44
  person lives or dies, this is always the m O. I was in
• 1:26:49
  fear of my life. Oh, I felt threatened. We see this far
• 1:26:54
  too often, and at what point is this gonna stop? At one point
• 1:26:59
  is this to end? At what point are they gonna stop peeking and choosing
• 1:27:02
  when they're staying your ground law works because if you're gonna if that law is
• 1:27:09
  for everybody, it needs to apply to everybody and not just people. When
• 1:27:12
  you feel like so, I just I want to say that, stop using
• 1:27:21
  staying your ground and get away with murder, Stop antagonizing people, leave people
• 1:27:29
  alone. If people are not bothering you, stop bothering them. Because in
• 1:27:33
  this situation with mister g k Owens, Miss Susan, you were the aggressor.
• 1:27:40
  You're living in an apartment complex. These kids are gonna be outside playing.
• 1:27:46
  These kids may throw something by your door. These people may throw something
• 1:27:50
  by your gait, they may throw something by your fence, their children.
• 1:27:59
  I would rather of these babies be outside playing then to be outside robbing somebody,
• 1:28:04
  breaking into somebody house, breaking into somebody called. I would rather see
• 1:28:08
  these children outside doing that. So I'm saying, stop using stay in your
• 1:28:16
  ground to get away with murder. Stop stop stop doing it, especially if
• 1:28:20
  you were the aggressor in this situation. I guess that was someone kind of
• 1:28:26
  like my final thoughts. I guess maybe, but if not, let me
• 1:28:30
  roll into my final thoughts. So tonight I did things a little different on
• 1:28:39
  my should Like I said, I know, I'm let to start off with
• 1:28:44
  and empowering, uplifting video to encourage somebody, but I'm gonna end it with
• 1:28:51
  that. But before I roll into that, I want to give you all
• 1:28:55
  my final thoughts. So tonight I folk on A gk Owens, who was
• 1:29:03
  the black mother of four that was killed in O'calla, Florida on Sunday.
• 1:29:15
  When it comes to stay in your ground, make it make sense, Susan
• 1:29:25
  Lawrence, the woman that shot A gk Owens, you were in no eminent
• 1:29:30
  You were in no eminent threat. You were in your home. You were
• 1:29:38
  outside screaming at these children. You were shouting racial slurs at these children.
• 1:29:46
  You threw a roller skate, You swung an umbrella at these children, which
• 1:29:54
  prompted the baby to go get his mom. Mom comes and knocks on your
• 1:30:00
  door. You immediately shoot through the door. But then you turn around and
• 1:30:03
  say, oh, I was in an imminent threat. She was trying to
• 1:30:08
  come into my home. She was trying to turn the door, not out,
• 1:30:10
  to come into my home. How many? How many more are these
• 1:30:15
  stories do I have to keep telling? How many more of these stories are
• 1:30:24
  we going to continue to see on TV? When is this gonna stop?
• 1:30:32
  Because it's absolutely devastating every time I get in front of this camera and I
• 1:30:36
  have to tell y'all one of these stories. I have to bring y'all one
• 1:30:42
  of these stories. It's heartbreaking because I think about my own children. I
• 1:30:51
  pray over my children, I pray over your children, I pray over you,
• 1:30:55
  I prey over myself that I'm not behind this camera telling your story.
• 1:31:09
  At some point this has to stop. At some point we have to say
• 1:31:14
  enough is enough? Do we meet force with force? Do we start living
• 1:31:20
  by the eye for an eye? What do we do? Y'all tell me?
• 1:31:30
  I would love to know what do we do? Now? Where do
• 1:31:33
  we go from here? You know, not only are we battling and dealing
• 1:31:40
  with mental health, but now we still have to deal with the murders,
• 1:31:48
  the unjust murders of unarmed black men, black women, black boys, and
• 1:31:53
  black black girls. We're dealing with that. That's what we're dealing with,
• 1:32:00
  and we're still trying to tackle mental health in the midst of all of this.
• 1:32:11
  Enough is enough again. I'm not advocating for y'all to go out and
• 1:32:18
  start World War four, World War three, world War ten. I'm not
• 1:32:21
  advocating for that, but I am saying, sometimes you gotta start meeting people
• 1:32:30
  with the same force that they meet you with. That's what happens in these
• 1:32:36
  other countries. Go to one of these other countries and see what happens,
• 1:32:44
  and then you come back and you tell me about it. Go over there
• 1:32:47
  to one in foreign countries and you act the ass over there. You come
• 1:32:50
  back and you tell me what happens. I would love to know another episode
• 1:33:02
  I made through with I get emotional y'all, I made it through another episode.
• 1:33:08
  What I get emotional. I'm so proud of myself. I'm getting better.
• 1:33:11
  But I can't say so much for tomorrow Night's episode. So tomorrow Nights
• 1:33:23
  upcoming episode. A black girl interrupt the podcast. Tomorrow night, I'm gonna
• 1:33:29
  bring y'all another heart wrenching story Julia Easton, along with the council countless other
• 1:33:36
  stories, but Julya Easton, six years old, was brutally beat to death
• 1:33:45
  by her mother in New York. I'm gonna say that for tomorrow night.
• 1:33:57
  I'm gonna say my comments and my thoughts for to morrow night because there's so
• 1:34:00
  much I could say right now, But tomorrow night, child abuse. Stop
• 1:34:09
  having children if you're gonna kill them. I think that's the most blunt way
• 1:34:17
  that I could say this. You don't want them, stop having them.
• 1:34:25
  These children don't ask to come here. But that's gonna be tomorrow night.
• 1:34:31
  So I'm talking. I'm speaking on child abuse in these cases of these children
• 1:34:43
  who are dying at the hands of their parents. Now that when you may
• 1:34:49
  want to bring some tissue for it, I know I'm definitely gonna add me
• 1:34:53
  some because when it comes to the babies. I love the kids. I'm
• 1:34:57
  passionate about that. Mmmmm. Another episode, y'all A Black Girl Interrupted podcast

• 1:37:14
  Baby. But I get up and I do this for y'all. I get
• 1:37:20
  up and I speak for us because we don't do it enough. I want
• 1:37:30
  us to be great. I want us to own our strength and know our
• 1:37:35
  worth and know that we're all destined for greatness, regardless of what the world
• 1:37:44
  says, regardless of what society says. We're great, We're phenomenal, we
• 1:37:49
  are excellent. And I say that wholeheartedly. I say that with the most
• 1:37:57
  sincerity in my heart. I want us to all win. I want us
• 1:38:05
  all to make it to the top. I want us to all get to
• 1:38:08
  the finish line. It's enough room at the table for all of us to
• 1:38:14
  eat. I'll never gate keep, I'll never withhold any information. I'll always
• 1:38:24
  push and power, uplifted and courage regardless of where you are in life.
• 1:38:31
  I guess that's more of a final thought right there. Humh. But again,
• 1:38:36
  y'all know I always start my shows with something empowering, encouraging, uplifting.
• 1:38:44
  But I'm gonna end it with this because after tonight show, I need
• 1:38:51
  y'all to know that whatever it is that you're going through, wherever you are
• 1:38:55
  in life, whatever storm your stam standing in the midstuff, You're gonna make
• 1:39:00
  it through. You are greatness, you are excellence, you are somebody.
• 1:39:08
  You are loved, You're appreciated, you're thought of, You're beautiful, you're
• 1:39:16
  intelligence, You're great your greatness. So I want to play this for y'all,
• 1:39:29
  and then I want to come back and just tell y'all that I love
• 1:39:30
  y'all and that I appreciate y'all. So this is for anyone that's going through
• 1:39:34
  anything, regardless of what storm you're standing in the midst of this is for
• 1:39:40
  you. If you can take it, you can make it. If you
• 1:39:45
  can just keep believing quhen nothing in you is working when all your external forces
• 1:39:55
  have given weight. If you can just manage to somehow keep hoping, you
• 1:40:02
  have a chance. You just can't become hopeless. If you can just keep
• 1:40:10
  hope alive, you can make it. Because if you keep hoping, it
• 1:40:14
  is really faith. You've just got to transpose it into I hope this has
• 1:40:18
  happened to I believe this can happen. Life is like a grindstone. It
• 1:40:24
  can polish you or it can pulverize you, depending on how you position yourself.
• 1:40:31
  There's one side of pain that's the suffering and the discomfort side of pain.
• 1:40:35
  But then there's another side of pain that's called effort. It's called glory,
• 1:40:41
  it's called off You can find a way to push through pain. There's
• 1:40:45
  something great on the other side of it. Every time you find yourself saying
• 1:40:49
  that you can't do something, putting yourself down, being negative about you and
• 1:40:55
  the possibilities for you, you've got to literally catch yourself and you've got to
• 1:40:59
  affirm to yourself, Hey, hey, no, no, no, I
• 1:41:01
  can make it. There's some way this can happen for me. You've got
• 1:41:04
  to remind yourself that you've got powers within you, talents within you that you
• 1:41:10
  haven't even reached for you. Then, once you give yourself an opportunity to
• 1:41:14
  try and to experiment with your life, to stretch, you'll find out you
• 1:41:16
  can do more than you can ever forget your magic. I'm challenging you to
• 1:41:20
  change the way you talk to you. Cover your head, cover your thoughts,
• 1:41:27
  cover your imaginations, cover the words that are coming into your mind.
• 1:41:30
  Cover what you're saying to yourself. What you are saying to yourself. Determments
• 1:41:35
  whether you win or love. What you say to yourself have all the world
• 1:41:42
  to do with how far you get down now, what you're going through,
• 1:41:46
  Now what's happening in your life, not what's going on in your home,
• 1:41:50
  not what's happening in your financial to blessing it on you don't give up all
• 1:41:56
  of who you are. Become of howthy my turning, because the blessing is
• 1:42:01
  all of who you are. You've got to say yes, yes to my
• 1:42:05
  dreams, yes to me, Yes I can. Doesn't matter how many failures
• 1:42:11
  I've made, doesn't matter how many mistakes I didn't do. It doesn't matter
• 1:42:15
  about what I've done. I can make it. There's gonna be blessings,
• 1:42:18
  there's gonna be miracles, there's gonna be opportunities. Oh yes, there's gonna
• 1:42:23
  be some struggles. Here's gonna be some challenges, here's gonna be some tests.
• 1:42:27
  But even the struggles are an opportunity for me to show off the victory
• 1:42:30
  if my mind can handle the change. If you can get your mind out,
• 1:42:35
  you can get your money out, you can get your family out,
• 1:42:40
  you can get your job out, you can get your career out, you
• 1:42:43
  can get your health out, you can get your prosperity out. If you
• 1:42:45
  can get your mind out. No double in the hell, no weapon form
• 1:42:49
  to get you, no intimate that hates you, can't stop you from being
• 1:42:54
  free. Grab gets you by the head and take what're coming out of there.
• 1:42:57
  I knew it is to walk the floor and you don't know how are
• 1:43:00
  you gonna make it when people don't long to believe in you? And you
• 1:43:02
  got to say to yourself when you fail again and again, they tell you
• 1:43:05
  know, sometimes to test guys, it's possible. When life knocked you down,
• 1:43:10
  sometimes you have to take two steps backwards to go folk, when life
• 1:43:14
  standing you the thing that I gets you up on your knees, get your
• 1:43:17
  standing in the center of the rain and keep on fighting this. It's possible.
• 1:43:21
  About just standing long enough, I can pull this off. I can't
• 1:43:26
  do I'm putting it out here. I'm not gonna rest until I have it.
• 1:43:30
  It's necessary. I'm gonna do it. It's on me. No one's
• 1:43:32
  gonna make it happen for me. I get some help and assistance, but
• 1:43:35
  I know that it's on me. Well it be easy. No, it's
• 1:43:38
  gonna be harder, But it doesn't matter what it costs, because whatever you
• 1:43:42
  have to do, it's worth it because it's your life's purpose. And once
• 1:43:45
  you know that, it is done. So on that note, I love
• 1:44:06
  you. I wanted to leave y'all with that tonight because tonight was kind of
• 1:44:15
  heavy, you know. Like I said, it's Wednesday, where two days
• 1:44:17
  away from the work from the weekend. I'm sorry, but you can do
• 1:44:25
  anything you put your mind too. No matter where you are in life,
• 1:44:30
  it's never too late to start over. And I can only speak from experience
• 1:44:36
  because they bad I'm not who I was five years ago. I'm not even
• 1:44:43
  the same person I was yesterday. But we made it. We made it,
• 1:44:50
  we made it, and we're gonna keep making it. I know it
• 1:44:54
  gets hard, I know it gets tough, but just know that through every
• 1:44:59
  storm comes rainbows. Sometimes God is gonna make you uncomfortable in order for you
• 1:45:08
  to get comfortable. I'm coming out of my uncomfortable season and I'm moving into
• 1:45:15
  my comfortable period. I'm moving into my soft fades. I'm walking in my
• 1:45:23
  purpose, and I think y'all should do the same. But I love y'all.
• 1:45:29
  I love love, love, love love y'all. And guess what,
• 1:45:32
  I gotta go because I got the unwine. Because let me tell you,
• 1:45:38
  I do this as soon as I get off work. I may work all
• 1:45:41
  day, I come on here and I do this with for y'all. But
• 1:45:45
  the grind never stops. The hustle never sleeps, at least not in me.
• 1:45:49
  But I love you. She should say. That was powerful, absolutely,
• 1:45:55
  And I normally start my shows with something like that. But I think
• 1:45:59
  I want gonna start ending because some of these conversations do get heavy, some
• 1:46:03
  of these topics that I bring to y'all, it does really truly get heavy.
• 1:46:09
  But I always want to end with something powerful, something in encouraging,
• 1:46:15
  something uplifting, Because again, I don't know where everyone is in there walking.
• 1:46:20
  I don't know where everyone is in their journey in life right now.
• 1:46:23
  I don't know. But wherever you are, I pray the road gets easier
• 1:46:29
  for you. I pray you make it to the top. I pray you
• 1:46:31
  win, because again, God is gonna always prepare a table big enough for
• 1:46:40
  me to have everyone eat at, even my enemies, because He's gonna always
• 1:46:43
  allow my enemies to be my foot stoop that much. I do know.
• 1:46:46
  I'm starting to sound like my daddy now, uh, But I love y'all.
• 1:46:50
  I am going to unwind. I have to upload this episode so that
• 1:46:56
  way it could get distributed out. But I love y'all again. I will
• 1:47:00

• 1:47:03

• 1:47:10
  a couple of cases that I want to discuss, a couple of cases I
• 1:47:14
  want to I want to bring to the table. But just know that I
• 1:47:17
  love y'all. God bless you, and just give God the grace and all
• 1:47:23
