- 1:23Speaker 2: It's Laura l Rosa and this is another episode of
- 1:26Speaker 2: the Latest with Laura l Rosa. This isn't Daily Dag
- 1:29Speaker 2: on all things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of
- 1:32Speaker 2: the conversations that shake the room. Baby. You are going
- 1:35Speaker 2: to hear from a mother who is distraught, who has
- 1:38Speaker 2: not seen her baby girl in over thirty eight days.
- 1:42Speaker 2: A black mother who you know is a fighter and
- 1:45Speaker 2: has the will and determination to not give up, who
- 1:48Speaker 2: is up every day literally kicking indoors after she receives
- 1:53Speaker 2: tips about where young women and young black women may
- 1:57Speaker 2: be being held as they're being trafficked. You're going to
- 2:00Speaker 2: hear from her throughout this episode. But I want you
- 2:05Speaker 2: guys to understand what we are up against because one
- 2:08Speaker 2: thing that Levette echoes a lot in our interview is
- 2:12Speaker 2: that it's not just her daughter that she wants to
- 2:15Speaker 2: help bring home. There are so many young black girls
- 2:18Speaker 2: in the city of Womington alone. In the last several weeks,
- 2:24Speaker 2: I've come across at least like oh my god, four
- 2:28Speaker 2: to five Facebook groups who are posting daily, sometimes every
- 2:32Speaker 2: twenty minutes, a new young woman, young man, baby, grown, adult,
- 2:39Speaker 2: elderly person that is going missing in the city. But
- 2:42Speaker 2: one of the big conversations that we are having right
- 2:45Speaker 2: now are about our young black girls, our young black
- 2:48Speaker 2: kids in these inner cities, According to Black according to
- 2:53Speaker 2: Black and Missing. According to Black and Missing, inc dot com,
- 2:56Speaker 2: which is an organization that helps to bring platform and
- 2:59Speaker 2: voice two children Black children who are missing and who
- 3:04Speaker 2: are going overlooked. In twenty twenty three, there were over
- 3:07Speaker 2: five hundred and sixty three thousand persons reported missing in
- 3:11Speaker 2: the United States. Now, of that over five hundred and
- 3:15Speaker 2: sixty three thousand people, fifty seven percent of those people
- 3:20Speaker 2: were white, including Hispanic people. Forty percent of those people
- 3:25Speaker 2: were minority. Forty percent of missing persons or persons of color.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Yet black people make up only thirteen percent of the population,
- 3:34Speaker 2: and that's via Census dot gov. Thousands of people are
- 3:38Speaker 2: reported missing every year in the US, and not every
- 3:41Speaker 2: case gets media wives spread attention, but the coverage of
- 3:44Speaker 2: white and minority victims are far from proportionate. Now, Black
- 3:49Speaker 2: and Missing ink dot Com goes on to talk about
- 3:52Speaker 2: why there's a disparity in media coverage around black and
- 3:56Speaker 2: brown children, black and brown people as we go missing.
- 4:01Speaker 2: The number one reason is runaways. A lot of minority
- 4:04Speaker 2: children are initially classified as runaways and aren't as runaways,
- 4:09Speaker 2: and as a result, they do not receive the Amber alert.
- 4:11Speaker 2: You will hear from miss Levett in my interview talk
- 4:14Speaker 2: about her daughter and how she had to fight to
- 4:16Speaker 2: get an Amber alert. The second reason being listed as criminals.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Missing minority adults are labeled as associated with criminal involvement, gangs,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and drugs. Desensitization is the third reason. It is believed
- 4:32Speaker 2: that missing minorities live in impoverished conditions and crime is
- 4:36Speaker 2: a regular part of our lives. And I say our
- 4:39Speaker 2: because I'm from the same city that you know. Miss
- 4:44Speaker 2: Levette's daughter went missing at literally blocks away from where
- 4:48Speaker 2: this young girl was last seen by her mother and
- 4:52Speaker 2: by her family. I grew up, My family's there, my
- 4:55Speaker 2: niece is there. This is our problem. This is not
- 4:58Speaker 2: just her and her family's problem is our problem. And
- 5:01Speaker 2: when I say our, I don't just mean me because
- 5:03Speaker 2: I'm from the neighborhood. I mean that to say, this
- 5:06Speaker 2: could be your daughter, this could be your niece, this
- 5:09Speaker 2: could be your cousin, this could be you, this could
- 5:11Speaker 2: be I mean, I saw a Savannah Guthrie, you know,
- 5:16Speaker 2: go back to work today on the Today Show, you know,
- 5:19Speaker 2: and national news coverage around that, the FBI, the President
- 5:24Speaker 2: involved in that. There's a celebrity element there. We get it.
- 5:27Speaker 2: She's a white woman, they're a white family. We get it.
- 5:30Speaker 2: And we want everybody to return home safe. But we
- 5:33Speaker 2: have to look at what's happening here and lack their up.
- 5:36Speaker 2: So this is everybody's problem, not just you know, those
- 5:40Speaker 2: who choose to care about news coverage, not just you know.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Now your baby's missing and you're trying to figure out
- 5:46Speaker 2: how to go about it. White, black, brown, green, purple.
- 5:49Speaker 2: This is everybody's issue now. This video from Kaylen's shows
- 5:54Speaker 2: exactly what miss Levette you know, is talking about as
- 5:58Speaker 2: she searches for her daughter August all Rightysha. This video
- 6:01Speaker 2: was shot early March outside of miss Levette's home here

- 7:37Speaker 2: But that was your If it was yours, you're going

- 7:49Speaker 2: That's Martin. Listen, listening.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Back, go ahead, time in front of my house. I'm

- 8:13Speaker 4: a month later to come search my house for my
- 8:16Speaker 4: daughter that know.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Ain't in there. Stupid. And at this point you hear
- 8:22Speaker 2: in this video from Kaitlin's media miss Levette, she's upset.
- 8:28Speaker 2: It's like at this point she feels like she's doing
- 8:30Speaker 2: their job for them, As she mentions in the interview, again.
- 8:34Speaker 2: This video was shot prior to our interview. She has
- 8:37Speaker 2: been documenting her process herself. You guys may have not
- 8:40Speaker 2: have heard or seen this video as disappointing as it
- 8:43Speaker 2: is to hear because media hasn't. They're not covering it.
- 8:48Speaker 2: It's not Instagram and social media have been her biggest voices.
- 8:52Speaker 2: We put it into that today. If August is watching this,
- 8:56Speaker 2: what is your message to her right now and wherever
- 9:00Speaker 2: she is and she's able to hear or potentially see you, My.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Message to you. I love you.
- 9:06Speaker 2: You know you love you know I am coming for you.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Just got to give me a sign and be strong
- 9:14Speaker 3: and hold on and fight. Please fight. You have a
- 9:18Speaker 3: lot of family coming for you. We love you. Do
- 9:21Speaker 3: not give up.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I love you.
- 9:23Speaker 2: What is it that you need right now? Like, if
- 9:26Speaker 2: you know, if the police department is doing what they're
- 9:28Speaker 2: supposed to do, if the community is doing what they're
- 9:30Speaker 2: supposed to do. The media, what does a legit setup
- 9:34Speaker 2: to help you, you know, amplify this to get to
- 9:37Speaker 2: your daughter? What does that look like? What's the call
- 9:38Speaker 2: of action for everybody watching and listening? Like, how can
- 9:40Speaker 2: it help you?
- 9:43Speaker 3: I feel like the call of action is like I said,
- 9:45Speaker 3: this is just not one singler incident.
- 9:48Speaker 1: This has multiple incidents.
- 9:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 9:51Speaker 3: I feel like if the if the woman's and police
- 9:53Speaker 3: are involved, they are actually know they should know majority
- 10:00Speaker 3: of who what where because they're taking places in certain areas,
- 10:05Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I feel like it should
- 10:08Speaker 3: be some kind of task force that you I mean
- 10:12Speaker 3: task force set up to handle just this, like because
- 10:16Speaker 3: it's literally people coming in our neighborhoods and they're snatching
- 10:19Speaker 3: their kids and they're doing whatever they want to them,
- 10:21Speaker 3: and they're killing them. I'm getting them drugs, and they're
- 10:23Speaker 3: making them disappear, and they're making them.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Do all kinds of things.
- 10:25Speaker 3: And I'm a mom and I can think of a
- 10:27Speaker 3: hundred different things that you could be doing to my
- 10:29Speaker 3: child right now, and I'm not accepting it.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I just feel like they need to be on the
- 10:34Speaker 2: ball and paying attention.
- 10:36Speaker 3: They made it so easy for people to get on
- 10:38Speaker 3: and off the highway from our kids, like around the school,
- 10:41Speaker 3: like you made it so easy, y'all made it so easy.
- 10:44Speaker 1: But y'all are not. They're not patrolling these areas, y'all.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Like you never know you could pre ride and past
- 10:50Speaker 3: a person screaming in the car right next to you,
- 10:54Speaker 3: right next to you, and nobody's paying attention. I feel
- 10:57Speaker 3: like they need to have some kind they need to
- 11:02Speaker 3: have training on it. First of all, what to look
- 11:04Speaker 3: for besides drug dealers. But it's no great if y'all
- 11:07Speaker 3: can do all this investigation and find the people that's
- 11:10Speaker 3: bringing drugs from Miami all the way, or you can
- 11:13Speaker 3: find the people who's trafficking these kids. You can find
- 11:17Speaker 3: the people that's thatching these kids. They're right in the neighborhood.
- 11:21Speaker 3: They're blending in with us. There's some I mean, if
- 11:24Speaker 3: you can find all that out of a person thirty days,
- 11:27Speaker 3: you can find where these kids are and who's taking
- 11:29Speaker 3: them and how they're taking them.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I believe that.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And I know you talked a bit about the neighborhood
- 11:35Speaker 2: that you're in. I'm from Womington, Delaware, and I talk
- 11:37Speaker 2: a lot about being from Delaware, but you know, we
- 11:40Speaker 2: have the listeners and viewers from all over the world,
- 11:42Speaker 2: all over the US. So Women's in Delaware is an
- 11:45Speaker 2: inner city for those of you guys who don't know,
- 11:47Speaker 2: predominantly black, you know, and it's one of the things
- 11:50Speaker 2: where like we deal with what the inner cities deal with,
- 11:53Speaker 2: so the drugs, the you know, the the underfunding of
- 11:57Speaker 2: the schools, the red lining, you know, the lack of
- 12:00Speaker 2: work for the houses, and the gentrification that comes in.
- 12:03Speaker 2: So when when she's talking about the neighborhoods, she's talking
- 12:07Speaker 2: about the fact that, like the kids there are black
- 12:09Speaker 2: and brown, so the care level is just a lot different.
- 12:12Speaker 3: And it's not there, you know, so our kids feel like, hey,
- 12:16Speaker 3: they don't have nothing to look forward to because this
- 12:19Speaker 3: is it. Like but when I was growing up, we
- 12:21Speaker 3: had things to do, you know, we were everywhere, like
- 12:24Speaker 3: we had things to do. We had east Side steppers,
- 12:26Speaker 3: like parents were involved. Now you know, parents don't want
- 12:30Speaker 3: to get involved in anything now, like something got something
- 12:32Speaker 3: has to change, And I know it starts with us.
- 12:34Speaker 3: If the government isn't even helping us try to do,
- 12:37Speaker 3: what do you?
- 12:38Speaker 1: What do you? What are we supposed to do? Like
- 12:40Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do?
- 12:41Speaker 3: Like I wasn't supposed to you know, snap on the
- 12:44Speaker 3: police like that I'm supposed to just let us say
- 12:46Speaker 3: faced and hope that they're out there looking for my kids.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Nobody gonna look for mind like like me, absolutely not,
- 12:53Speaker 3: absolutely not.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Yeah, you know however, and whatever it is that I
- 13:00Speaker 2: can do. I don't while I got into a platform,
- 13:02Speaker 2: so you know, you're always welcome to come to spread information,
- 13:06Speaker 2: to post information. We'll make sure we put all of
- 13:08Speaker 2: the flyers of August throughout this interview as well too,
- 13:10Speaker 2: so people can see her, you know. And is there
- 13:14Speaker 2: anything if people see her walking on the street or
- 13:16Speaker 2: see her somewhere or wherever. I know you mentioned that
- 13:19Speaker 2: she deals with different like mental issues before, so is
- 13:23Speaker 2: there a certain way to approach her not approach her? Like,
- 13:26Speaker 2: how do if a common person just happens to run
- 13:28Speaker 2: into her or see her? What are the instructions?
- 13:31Speaker 3: My first instruction is just you know, let August know
- 13:34Speaker 3: she has to feel safe with you first. She has
- 13:37Speaker 3: to feel safe, and right now, I don't think she's
- 13:39Speaker 3: going to feel safe with anybody. So I would say
- 13:43Speaker 3: contact the police. If you can follow and contact the police,
- 13:46Speaker 3: that would be better, because you know, we don't know
- 13:50Speaker 3: what she's going through. You know, she can be a
- 13:51Speaker 3: threat to herself and others. Like I said, it can
- 13:55Speaker 3: go either way. August is like, she has to know
- 14:00Speaker 3: that you are taking her to me, she's going to
- 14:03Speaker 3: her mother or she's going to her aunt. If you
- 14:07Speaker 3: say Aunt Crystal is coming for you, call her Aunt Crystal.
- 14:12Speaker 1: She's gonna go with you.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Otherwise, I say call the call the police, because they
- 14:16Speaker 3: might have a better shot. They can actually come with
- 14:19Speaker 3: the mental counselors with her and help get her together
- 14:22Speaker 3: and then we can go from there.
- 14:23Speaker 2: But I know, you know, my daughter don't isn't on drugs.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Like, she's not running around here popping perks. You know,
- 14:31Speaker 3: everybody smoke a little weed here and there, but she
- 14:34Speaker 3: don't do that.
- 14:35Speaker 2: She doesn't drink like.
- 14:36Speaker 1: She's a picky eater. She's picky with everything. She reads books.
- 14:40Speaker 3: You know, she's a different child. She's a quiet child.
- 14:42Speaker 3: So this right here, this is different. This is like
- 14:46Speaker 3: it's almost it's almost breaking me. So I can imagine
- 14:49Speaker 3: when it's doing with my daughter right now.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, praying for the August is safeer turn home,
- 14:56Speaker 2: and for your strength, you know throughout the days. And
- 14:58Speaker 2: I only say you were strong earlier because that I've
- 15:00Speaker 2: been talking to you. It's just been like you getting up.
- 15:04Speaker 2: You're like you're continuing to do what you need to
- 15:06Speaker 2: do to try and bring your baby girl home. But
- 15:09Speaker 2: you know, I'm not a parent yet, but I can
- 15:10Speaker 2: only imagine that that's just what comes with being a mom.
- 15:13Speaker 3: You know, absolutely, it's unconditional love. Like I said, nobody's
- 15:17Speaker 3: going to do it like you. And you know, if
- 15:18Speaker 3: I stop, then everybody stops, you know, And I'm not
- 15:22Speaker 3: going to stop, because I don't want nobody stop.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I want everybody.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I want everybody remember all these girls faces, because, like
- 15:27Speaker 3: I said, if we.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Find one, we might find all of them.
- 15:30Speaker 1: And it's too many of them missing.
- 15:31Speaker 2: It's too many of them. Are there certain websites? Because
- 15:35Speaker 2: I was seeing, like once I started following the you
- 15:38Speaker 2: know your daughter and the other girls that I saw
- 15:39Speaker 2: that we're missing from Women to Delaware, I begin seeing
- 15:43Speaker 2: like Facebook groups and websites like are there certain sites
- 15:46Speaker 2: that you're following that also provide information on other missing
- 15:50Speaker 2: young men and women in the inner cities. Yes, it's
- 15:53Speaker 2: an unsolved group on Facebook.
- 15:55Speaker 1: He keeps us loaded.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Jackie Canard, she she that people send her all kinds
- 16:01Speaker 3: of stuff.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Not all the time. It's on groups.
- 16:03Speaker 3: A lot of people were sending us stuff directly from them,
- 16:07Speaker 3: like some of the moms like Mississippi, you know, all
- 16:11Speaker 3: over some people are just sending it to us and
- 16:13Speaker 3: we're actually you know, foiling some of them over to
- 16:16Speaker 3: the groups because they get out a little faster with
- 16:18Speaker 3: the groups.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Yeah, they just be they just.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Becoming like and I just you know, since then, I
- 16:24Speaker 3: just you know, been following all of them because again,
- 16:27Speaker 3: you never know, people missing from over in California.
- 16:30Speaker 1: They might have brought them here.
- 16:31Speaker 3: We might see them, you know, like we all can
- 16:34Speaker 3: try to pay attention and know we might not find
- 16:36Speaker 3: them all, but we can probably get most of these
- 16:39Speaker 3: girls home if we start paying attention. Stuff don't look right.
- 16:43Speaker 3: If it don't look right, it's not right. You need
- 16:45Speaker 3: to take a picture. I got you, like, it's bad
- 16:48Speaker 3: out here. You didn't know it was this bad until
- 16:50Speaker 3: they get this bad.
- 16:52Speaker 2: No, well again, let me know whatever you need. If
- 16:55Speaker 2: there's like new flyers or anything to post. You know,
- 16:57Speaker 2: I try and post as much as I can't remember
- 16:59Speaker 2: throughout the week or like you know, week weekends whatever
- 17:02Speaker 2: the post of flyers that you sent me.
- 17:04Speaker 1: So yeah, yep, I have new flyers.
- 17:07Speaker 2: I'll actually send those over to you.
- 17:09Speaker 3: We're going to punt up a couple more, but like
- 17:11Speaker 3: do it small with a whole bunch of different of
- 17:13Speaker 3: the girls on there, just so we can try to
- 17:16Speaker 3: get as many.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I want to try to do that at.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Least once a week with a different fly with about
- 17:20Speaker 3: five or six different girls on there, just so everybody
- 17:23Speaker 3: can just keep looking.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Because it's like, listen, I'm in in Philly.
- 17:27Speaker 3: It's bed there as far as you know. The trafficking
- 17:30Speaker 3: at the girls Jersey is horrible, and I'm I'm listen,
- 17:35Speaker 3: I'm going everywhere.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I'm going everywhere. I wanted to actually about something too.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I know you told me because I just thought about
- 17:41Speaker 2: this when you were talking about the flyers. You were
- 17:43Speaker 2: telling me that originally when you reported August missing, first
- 17:47Speaker 2: of all the information like there was never an official
- 17:49Speaker 2: report filed, and then when they did file it, all
- 17:52Speaker 2: of her information like the debt would have described her
- 17:55Speaker 2: to someone was completely wrong.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 17:58Speaker 3: So like I said when I when I first started this,
- 18:00Speaker 3: I mean and my friend, like I said, we were
- 18:02Speaker 3: just out in the city.
- 18:03Speaker 2: We started handing the flyers to, you know, the police officers.
- 18:06Speaker 3: They were the ones who let us know that it
- 18:08Speaker 3: wasn't right, like it wasn't in the system. So I
- 18:11Speaker 3: went down to WPD asked them for a copy of
- 18:14Speaker 3: MOP you know, you know, they give you the little
- 18:15Speaker 3: blue card with your number on it. So I asked
- 18:18Speaker 3: them for a piece copy of it, and I said
- 18:20Speaker 3: as soon as I looked at it, and I said, sir,
- 18:22Speaker 3: this is all wrong.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Like who fixes this? That's that number again.
- 18:27Speaker 3: You're gonna have to die sixty five four five one
- 18:29Speaker 3: five one and speak to somebody on there, and whoever
- 18:32Speaker 3: put it in has to fix it.
- 18:35Speaker 1: That's another eleven hours.
- 18:36Speaker 3: I gotta wait for somebody to call me back to
- 18:38Speaker 3: fix everything that's wrong in here.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Like you put my daughter in here as bald baby, bald,
- 18:45Speaker 1: black eyes.
- 18:46Speaker 3: You put her in here as a prior runaway, which
- 18:48Speaker 3: is probably why y'all never looked for in the first place,
- 18:51Speaker 3: because she has never ran away.
- 18:52Speaker 1: She's never been a prior runaway.
- 18:54Speaker 3: And then she put on there that she's depressed, not
- 18:57Speaker 3: that she's suicidal IDA, and not that she has severe
- 19:01Speaker 3: eye severe bipolar, not that she's on medicine every single day,
- 19:06Speaker 3: and she hasn't had her medicine.
- 19:08Speaker 2: You didn't put her.
- 19:09Speaker 3: She took pictures of my daughter's hair because she had
- 19:12Speaker 3: just got her hair, her hairs and locks just a
- 19:14Speaker 3: little thicker than mine.
- 19:15Speaker 2: About this lamp.
- 19:16Speaker 1: She took pictures of him.
- 19:17Speaker 3: You didn't even input any of the pictures of my daughter,
- 19:21Speaker 3: nothing like, you didn't do nothing black female in her
- 19:24Speaker 3: name and her approximate height.
- 19:27Speaker 1: That's the only part that was right.
- 19:28Speaker 2: How long was it like that? When did I see it?
- 19:33Speaker 1: Probably like that for about a week and a half.
- 19:35Speaker 3: I can get the ZAC date on for you when
- 19:37Speaker 3: I do the video, because the day I did that video,
- 19:40Speaker 3: I had went and seen the mayor earlier that day
- 19:42Speaker 3: and that's when I got the copy of the That's
- 19:44Speaker 3: when I got the updated copy.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Because I had stopped the guy.
- 19:47Speaker 3: It was three police on the beat in front of
- 19:49Speaker 3: my house and I had stopped.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Him and when he went on, he went and pulled it.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Up and he was like, this shit's all fucked up.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Excuse me, that's exact words. And I was like, well,
- 19:58Speaker 3: what do you mean? So he turned his his screen
- 20:00Speaker 3: to me so I can see, and I can see,
- 20:02Speaker 3: like every they have a lot of steps that they
- 20:05Speaker 3: have to do to input all the information down to
- 20:08Speaker 3: the tattoos. Like it's not just like, hey, you just
- 20:11Speaker 3: put everything on this one screen.
- 20:13Speaker 1: No, you gotta go to this screen. You gotta do this.
- 20:14Speaker 1: When you get to this screen.
- 20:15Speaker 3: In ask for a picture of like what the tattoo
- 20:18Speaker 3: looks like. When you get to this screen over here
- 20:21Speaker 3: and put the photos, you got to input the photos
- 20:23Speaker 3: one by one, upload them to Like if I sat
- 20:27Speaker 3: there with that man for forty five minutes while he
- 20:30Speaker 3: while he fixed the whole report.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Then submitted it.
- 20:33Speaker 3: When as soon as he submitted it, the NCIIC number
- 20:36Speaker 3: popped up, That's how I knew it was submitted correctly
- 20:38Speaker 3: because before then it wasn't in an even an NCIIC number,
- 20:42Speaker 3: which means it never hit the national database anyway.
- 20:45Speaker 2: And normally something like that, if you had not been
- 20:48Speaker 2: doing what you were doing, it would have just been overlooked.
- 20:51Speaker 2: And was there any repercussions for the you know, the
- 20:55Speaker 2: sergeant or detective or whoever that input that information that way.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Now and if it was, well, obviously no, because she's
- 21:02Speaker 3: still on the beat. I just seen her the other
- 21:04Speaker 3: day by my house. She's still on the beat, so
- 21:06Speaker 3: obviously not. But you know, that's something I'm gonna deal
- 21:08Speaker 3: with on another day, you know that. Yeah, you know,
- 21:12Speaker 3: I'll deal with all that on another day, you know,
- 21:14Speaker 3: the mayor on the other day, the state Senate, on
- 21:16Speaker 3: the city council because it's a line, it's a change
- 21:19Speaker 3: of all this, and all change has been broken, and
- 21:23Speaker 3: all the whole aspect of it, the whole chain of
- 21:26Speaker 3: everything is broken.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Got you alrighty? Well, I mean I'm hoping once we
- 21:31Speaker 2: put this package together and put this out there, this
- 21:33Speaker 2: can get you some some eyes and you know, just
- 21:36Speaker 2: get you a little shake up. And yeah, like I
- 21:39Speaker 2: don't I don't know. I'm just trying to help out
- 21:43Speaker 2: as much as i can.
- 21:44Speaker 1: So yeah, like I said, until it.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Happens to you, we do not know what's going on,
- 21:50Speaker 2: and it.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Won't affect it doesn't affect other people as much as
- 21:52Speaker 3: it will affect you. Yeah, but it should affect this
- 21:55Speaker 3: community because I shouldn't have had to scream like that.
- 21:59Speaker 3: And I understand what a lot of parents, even you
- 22:02Speaker 3: know where the parents where you.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Know their their loved ones have been murdered.
- 22:06Speaker 3: What I understand the pain that they're going through because
- 22:10Speaker 3: obviously the entire structure is broken and nobody's here to
- 22:14Speaker 3: fix it.
- 22:15Speaker 1: I'm going to fix it down.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Got you all right? Well, stay in contact with me.
