- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, do
- 0:02Speaker 1: you think a bad neighbor could push you to the
- 0:05Speaker 1: point of murder?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's mama.
- 0:18Speaker 1: She said, and joining us now are American mamas Terry
- 0:25Speaker 1: Edeville and Kimberly Burlison. Uh, my neighbor probably thinks so,
- 0:32Speaker 1: at least did at one point. Uh, what do you
- 0:34Speaker 1: guys think a can a bad neighbor make you flip out?
- 0:37Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go do something awful?
- 0:42Speaker 3: Well, did you hear about the man in Dallas?
- 0:44Speaker 1: There's a lot of men in Okay.
- 0:46Speaker 3: There's a man, a seventy five year old man named
- 0:48Speaker 3: Chung Kim, and he killed This happened in Dallas, but
- 0:51Speaker 3: he killed his neighbor, Michelle Jackson and her boyfriend, Jamie Stafford.
- 0:55Speaker 3: So they live in an apartment complex, Okay, and Michelle
- 1:00Speaker 3: lived above him, above this man. So what they were
- 1:04Speaker 3: doing was letting their dog you're in a poop and
- 1:07Speaker 3: they would kick it off of their balcony and it
- 1:09Speaker 3: would land onto chunks. Well, then they started doing it
- 1:12Speaker 3: with dirty diapers their babies, dirty diapers.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Did you say you would land on chunks.
- 1:17Speaker 3: No, no, chungue is his name? Oh chung tongue. Okay, sorry,
- 1:22Speaker 3: so dirty diapers. So he documented it, he went to
- 1:26Speaker 3: the management, he did everything he could to try to
- 1:31Speaker 3: get this to stop, and nothing was happening. Nobody was
- 1:33Speaker 3: stopping it. So he went up and he just killed them, literally,
- 1:37Speaker 3: just killed them point blank with a gun. And so
- 1:40Speaker 3: the conversation around this was when you just reach a
- 1:43Speaker 3: boiling point where nothing is being done, a wrong is happening,
- 1:46Speaker 3: and nobody seems to care. And I'm watching this, I'm
- 1:49Speaker 3: thinking this goes further than your neighbors. Yeah, this is
- 1:52Speaker 3: in our country. We're singing in Ireland right now, where
- 1:55Speaker 3: it's chaos over there, and so people citizens are like, Okay,
- 1:59Speaker 3: you're not gonna help. It's not going to do anything.
- 2:01Speaker 3: We're gonna take matters into our own own hand.
- 2:03Speaker 1: You know, there's there's there is an aspect to that
- 2:05Speaker 1: because John Adams said, our government is only suitable for
- 2:09Speaker 1: a moral and religious people. And it's because the government
- 2:13Speaker 1: at some point is it can't feel the way it's
- 2:17Speaker 1: designed to protect liberties, It cannot deal with an excess
- 2:21Speaker 1: of immoral and irreligious people. Just can't do it doesn't work,
- 2:24Speaker 1: it won't happen. And so yeah, you do feel people
- 2:28Speaker 1: who go, well, the system isn't helping me, so I'm
- 2:31Speaker 1: just going to go take care of it myself. But
- 2:33Speaker 1: that in itsself is also an immoral act.
- 2:37Speaker 3: It is, but it's going to start happening more and more,
- 2:40Speaker 3: I believe.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Yah, God, that's so tragic. I think he snapped. You know.
- 2:46Speaker 4: I used to watch that investigative Discovery channel all the time,
- 2:49Speaker 4: and there are a lot of murder cases neighbor o neighbor,
- 2:55Speaker 4: and they would they would video, they would document everything
- 2:58Speaker 4: that's going on, and you could see where it would
- 3:01Speaker 4: get to this bawling point where somebody's gonna get hurt,
- 3:04Speaker 4: somebody's gonna I would have to move, you know, if
- 3:06Speaker 4: it got to that point, because it was scary. But
- 3:08Speaker 4: you know, there comes a time when you can tell
- 3:10Speaker 4: it's getting on the scary right on that train. I
- 3:15Speaker 4: really cannot imagine getting to the place where I was
- 3:18Speaker 4: going to snap, unless somebody was threatening or harming my children. Yeah,
- 3:21Speaker 4: I can see me snapping if nobody was helping. But
- 3:25Speaker 4: what happened to him, what happened to me. He's in prison,
- 3:28Speaker 4: he's in prison for the rest of his life.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Well, nobody's putting poop on his balcony anymore.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Well, no, maybe somewhere else, who knows. I don't know.
- 3:36Speaker 4: What about you know, think about this? What when? What
- 3:41Speaker 4: part of this does the local sheriff's department play a role?
- 3:46Speaker 4: Do they have to take accountability for not helping a situation?
- 3:50Speaker 4: You know, you've seen this time time and again where
- 3:52Speaker 4: women are scared of their ex boyfriends and they're like, well,
- 3:56Speaker 4: we can't do anything about that, and then they get killed.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Like what what else could mister Jung have done?
- 4:01Speaker 1: Right?
- 4:02Speaker 4: And why did they do that? Why did this neighbor
- 4:05Speaker 4: upstairs feel like they needed to jump the dog's poop
- 4:09Speaker 4: and diapers on his balcony. I don't understand that.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And again that comes back to if we aren't a
- 4:16Speaker 1: moral and religious people, if we're kind of people who
- 4:19Speaker 1: thinks it's absolutely okay to dump feces onto the balcony
- 4:22Speaker 1: of the people living below us, and that's not our
- 4:24Speaker 1: problem and we just get to do that. It's kind
- 4:28Speaker 1: of hard to have a society when you have people
- 4:30Speaker 1: that behave that way.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be so curious to see the data on
- 4:34Speaker 4: how many neighbors have had to call the police on neighbors. Yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 4: neighbors have called the police on neighbors. How what is
- 4:43Speaker 4: the data on that? Are the majority of neighbors just
- 4:45Speaker 4: very calm and peacefully, Like you said, your neighbor probably
- 4:48Speaker 4: felt like that about you. I'm thinking, what could you
- 4:49Speaker 4: have done?
- 4:50Speaker 1: Well, I hadn't done anything, So what was the problem.
- 4:53Speaker 1: We don't know.
- 4:54Speaker 4: He snapped U huh.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And he just came on my property one morning and
- 4:57Speaker 1: just said he was going to kill me and was yelling.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And then when the police it up, he was like, yeah,
- 5:01Speaker 1: that's what I said, and what happened. That's that's the
- 5:05Speaker 1: frustrating part for me, is absolutely nothing happened. He was arrested,
- 5:10Speaker 1: he was taken to jail, and then within two days
- 5:12Speaker 1: later he's back. And it's now been what four years,
- 5:15Speaker 1: five years, he's still a neighbor. The neighbors across the
- 5:19Speaker 1: street have had to call the police on this guy
- 5:21Speaker 1: multiple times, and yet nothing happens. And so the DA's
- 5:25Speaker 1: office local DA's office just does not care. This is
- 5:29Speaker 1: this is no problem for them. So I understand how
- 5:33Speaker 1: people are, like, you know what, it's hard to get
- 5:35Speaker 1: along sometimes with your neighbors. When you have neighbors who have.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Disrespect you and have such hate and mentally ill Obviously.
- 5:42Speaker 1: There's definitely a mental illness with with this this gentleman,
- 5:45Speaker 1: and so you know, you pray for recovery for him.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But yeah, at least he's not dumping dog poop on.
- 5:54Speaker 3: If you like.
