• 3:49
  I'm doing my mental health checking. Y'all already know, so let me tell
• 3:52
  y'all. So Sunday I went to the cemetery to see my dad, y'all,
• 3:57
  and I have not been since last year. This is actually the second
• 3:59
  time I've been to the cemetery since my fall the pass a week and I
• 4:04
  like instantly, like as soon as I was getting ready to leave the cemetery,
• 4:09
  like, I instantly like immediately had an anxiety attack. Um. And
• 4:14
  I think it's because it's starting to settle in y It's been two years since
• 4:18
  my father passed away, but it's really now just starting to like the dust
• 4:23
  is really starting to settle, like it's it's reef. So yesterday wasn't I
• 4:30
  pushed through yesterday, But today it was just like it was one of those
• 4:33
  days I depleted, a moment where I just had to collectively pulled everything together.
• 4:41
  But once I realized, you know what I asked, You're about to
• 4:44
  get into your stace space, You're about to do your shoulder night, what
• 4:46
  you're talking about, it's gonna be powerful. So I had to pull it
• 4:50
  together, like I had to shake it off, and I had to say,
• 4:53
  you know what, my dad is proud of me. My father is
• 4:55
  sold in lated and how far I've come, you know, with how far
• 5:00
  going and mature as a woman. So um, I'm gonna continue to carry
• 5:03
  my father with me. You know, every time I look in the mirror,
• 5:06
  I see see So he's not far, he's not gone. He may
• 5:11
  be gonne in physical, but I know he's still here in Spiritum Robert says,
• 5:17
  it's going very well in Florida, making moves, trying to really get
• 5:20
  things rolling rolling. Let me tell you, Booth, I am so so
• 5:24
  so proud of you. Whatever it is, God is gonna make a way
• 5:28
  for you. I promise that's what he's gonna do. So you keep going,
• 5:30
  regardless of how many obsticles and brickwalls you run into, get back up,
• 5:34
  thush yourself off, and keep going, baby, because guess what a
• 5:38
  marathon is gonna always continue. So shout out to you. Good to see
• 5:43
  you tonight, And Bbe says, I love you for that. I'm so
• 5:46
  proud of you, and I love you. I am here. He is
• 5:47
  definitely proud of you. Absolutely, But I want to say thank you,
• 5:50
  bb or just even letting me just for you, just even walking me through
• 5:57
  my anxiety attack, because like it was like it was done, like I
• 6:00
  was done but um, it's starting to settle, like the dust is really
• 6:04
  starting to settle. It's really starting to seek and yeah, my dad is
• 6:08
  gone. And I think, really what hurts the most is because on Sundays
• 6:12
  I would always call Daddy, what's doing Daddy, what's going on? And
• 6:15
  he's like, oh, I just started in from church, not the email
• 6:17
  of dinner and we were told and everything. So I think, Um,
• 6:21
  that really set me back because I missed post Thomas. I missed it was
• 6:25
  a lot of things that weren't said before my father passed away. But I
• 6:29
  know he hears me now, I know he sees me, um, and
• 6:32
  I know he's just like, you know, Daddy love you. So I'm
• 6:36
  you know, I'm better. Um. And like I said, y'all know,
• 6:42
  I'm always gonna try to uplift, encouraging and power regardless of whatever it
• 6:46
  is that you're going through. Um, I'm gonna always pour into you.
• 6:50
  Um, I'm gonna always love you regardless. But I always, at the
• 6:56
  end of the day, I want to see everybody, regardless of whatever it
• 6:59
  is that you're going through, want us to be quishing because I know what
• 7:01
  it's like, UM to sit in those darks UM, I know what it's
• 7:05
  I know what that feels like. UM. But guess what, I keep
• 7:10
  going. I keep going and I just and that's all I do because no
• 7:15
  weapon formed against me shot, never trust and beliefs um hm hm who jump.
• 7:30
  I go through it. But guess what I get through. I may
• 7:32
  go through it because I get regardless of how heavy my form is. UM.
• 7:39
  And I do because I know UM. And like I told y'all the
• 7:44
  last time, you can only be celebrated in the light and not in the
• 7:47
  dark. So if you want to be celebrated and you want to for you,
• 7:50
  sometimes M out of the darkness and said, I'm like, I love
• 7:54
  being in the light. Well, y'all not about to have me crying over
• 7:57
  here to night. Oh, y'all not about to get me started, y'all.
• 8:00
  I'm not about to do it. Okay, I'm not playing with y'all.
• 8:03
  So Brennan says, girl, you know I got you do on my
• 8:05
  heart and I will walk through this with you and hold your hand until you
• 8:09
  are ready to let go. Then I tell you, y'all, y'all not
• 8:13
  gonna do me like this. Dope, dope, dope, I love y'all.
• 8:18
  Lope dope, dope hablebol is that to see you? Hey, my
• 8:24
  baby, Oh, my sister says, I told you that you would know
• 8:28
  when you're ready to visit her, that it's an unexplainable push and a comfortable
• 8:33
  goal. And just when I tell you, Um, I had to stop
• 8:39
  and I had to go back, like I had to go back to his
• 8:43
  break. I had to go back and I had to get back out of
• 8:45
  the car. I had to talk to him. I had to look at
• 8:46
  him. I had to let him know that my presence that I'm there,
• 8:50
  you know, even though he's not here in the physical because as I left
• 8:54
  the cemetery, that's his body that's in that cool but his soul and his
• 9:01
  spirit is right here with me. So although I cannot talk to him in
• 9:05
  the physical round, I can always talk to him in the spirits room because
• 9:09
  I know who hears me. I know tease me, and I could just
• 9:13
  he his smile right now. You know, I look just like him.
• 9:16
  So I wish I had to pure. I should have post had a picture,
• 9:20
  but it's okay. Um Kara says, you shine, and guess why
• 9:24
  it took me a long time to get back into this light Like It took
• 9:30
  me a long time, but I had to stop and I had to realize
• 9:33
  that I was giving my own life, I was playing with my own potential
• 9:37
  and I had to really sit down. I had to realize what is my
• 9:39
  purpose? What does God want me to do? And so getting back into
• 9:43
  my podcast, I'm the voice. I'm the voice for the for the voices,
• 9:46
  for the ones that are afraid to talk about uncomfortable conversations. Because I
• 9:52
  want everyone being men, women. I want all of us to hell.
• 9:56
  I want everyone too to blow. I want you to shine. I want
• 10:00
  everyone to do it. I want everyone to know that you are your greatest
• 10:03
  no matter where you are in life. You know, stop looking at everyone
• 10:07
  has a competition. Stop trying to compete with people, because everyone's grace and
• 10:13
  path is gonna look different from yours. You know, you don't know what
• 10:15
  that person went through to get to where they are, but just stay focused,
• 10:20
  don't never give up. So y'all already know dropping the comments again,
• 10:24
  I'm continuing to do my mental health check in. But those that are new
• 10:26
  to the show, UM, welcome to Black Girl Interrupted. Black Girl Interrupted
• 10:31
  me tell you was a space that I created for me to be safe.
• 10:39
  It was my Safetypaceum. It started out with you know, me going on
• 10:43
  my journey for healing, mending senses with my children and forgiving myself for a
• 10:50
  lot of things, not only that I did to me, but to my
• 10:52
  tooth. You know, my babies had to go through a lot, and
• 10:58
  I had to stand in all of that. I had two men didn't did
• 11:01
  to repair. So here I am almost two years later, and I'm still
• 11:07
  ruling. Yes, I did stop because I allowed my depression to take over.
• 11:11
  But I can't let him win because that's only the depth and he only
• 11:16
  comes to kill and destroy. He only praised on the week that I had
• 11:20
  to let him know every day how strong I am on cover and God says,
• 11:24
  trust and believe, babe, I'm gonna open whatever though you won't open.
• 11:28
  You just have to be peaced. So here we go. So Robert
• 11:31
  says, I got a couple of podcast ideas in the making, with one
• 11:35
  actually have an episode one worked on. I have a subject that I putt
• 11:41
  my philosophy to expand the thoughts on to stimulate taul I love it. I
• 11:45
  would definitely love to collaborate with you on something. Robert. I'm actually let
• 11:50
  me say this, and then I'm gonna go ahead and jump into the show.
• 11:54
  Um. I actually putting together a panel, Phoebe. I have to
• 11:58
  get with you, um and let you know, because we're gonna do it
• 12:01
  on a Saturday. But um relationship panel where you know, where women are
• 12:07
  listening to the men, men are listening to the women because we want to
• 12:11
  know what what have we done in relationships that men don't like? And we
• 12:15
  want to express that to you, just to healthy dialogue, a beautiful discourse.
• 12:18
  Um and listen, you know, because communication is keep, especially when
• 12:24
  it comes to relationships. And some of us don't the winter shut up.
• 12:28
  Some of us just you don't know. We just don't know. And then
• 12:31
  until we also know, don't take into consideration how relationship affect out what children
• 12:37
  because they're watching, they're watching, you know, our children are watching.
• 12:43
  So uh, Boeby says, you know, I'm already ready. He says,
• 12:48
  yes, that's gonna be a great conversation. I'm a beat too down
• 12:54
  girl. And Robert says, I'm for it. Okay, Uh to me
• 12:58
  your email, Robert, so I can email you so we could get together
• 13:01
  and we could go from there. So y'all again. Y'all already know how
• 13:07
  how I start my school. Y'all know I always play and pull something motivational
• 13:11
  and inspirational. Um. Of course, y'all know it's the same video,
• 13:15
  but I'm gonna switch it up because I did find another video that I liked.
• 13:18
  Um and it just don't know, y'all, this is Toady, a
• 13:22
  little emotional. I ain't ready to start Pride yet, but um, here
• 13:26
  we go. And then after the video we jumped into jama type. I
• 13:35
  want to encourage somebody out there who's thinking about quitting and giving up, somebody
• 13:43
  who has been praying for years for things to turn around. You're thinking about
• 13:50
  quitting, You're thinking about giving up. You are folding, you are caving
• 13:56
  in. This is for you. You're in this storm and you're down on
• 14:03
  your knees and your cold, and you're weak, and you feel like this
• 14:07
  is the end. You have a choice to either give up or keep going,
• 14:15
  give up or get up. Don't give up, don't give up,
• 14:24
  stay in it, stay focused. When you fail, try again and again
• 14:33
  and again. You just take one step at a time. It's hard,
• 14:39
  but it's worth fighting, is worth believing, it's worth mustering yourself up,
• 14:46
  standing up inside yourself. It's worth fighting relentlessly, never giving up. I
• 14:52
  love the sun, but things don't grow because of the sun. You have
• 14:56
  to have some rain, and you've got to stop looking at rain in your
• 15:01
  life as something bad. My greatest moments didn't come from my greatest moments.
• 15:07
  My greatest moments came for my greatest defeats, because it was doing my defeat
• 15:13
  that I had to find a way to get back up. You thought for
• 15:18
  one minute that you broke from me, You got me twisted. I am
• 15:24
  not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally will I will not give up. I will
• 15:30
  not surrender. I will not quit. God stop, God stop, coach,
• 15:37
  stop running toward your dreams. Stay in courage. Stay in courage and
• 15:45
  keep your head up, stick your chest out to cheat, to walk with
• 15:48
  pide, and know if it was easy, everybody would do it. It's
• 15:52
  not gonna be easy, but we have what it takes. They're rough.
• 15:56
  Times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay. They have
• 16:00
  come to pass. Don't say I'm having a bad day, Say I'm having
• 16:03
  a character building day. Don't look at night at darkness. Look at night
• 16:10
  as a new beginning. I don't think I'll wally understand how powerful that video
• 16:41
  is to me because I have to say in series, I have to say
• 16:48
  in Howards and what's the continue on my dream and orders to see content on
• 16:56
  my in my purpose. So when I when I first found that video,
• 17:00
  y'all it had it moved me to tears because I was like, damn,
• 17:04
  this came at like one of my darkest moments when I found this video and
• 17:07
  I'm like, here, I am, I'm giving up. I've helped so
• 17:11
  many people and I'm not realizing what my podcast has uns for people. Why
• 17:17
  am I walking away from this? This is something that I've created for me
• 17:19
  to be safe. But I also created because I wanted to encourage someone else.
• 17:23
  I want to say empower someone else. I wanted to uplift someone else
• 17:26
  because I wanted you to know that, regardless or whatever it is that you
• 17:30
  go through, don't give up. God gives his test, his hardest test,
• 17:33
  to the strongest soul. So I want you to always remember that that,
• 17:38
  regardless in our state this, don't never give up. I know giving
• 17:45
  up is the easiest thing to do for getting back up with the hardest things.
• 17:52
  Always remember Okay, Harrest says, I love it. You gotta have
• 18:00
  that ring and you gotta dance in. Robert says, I'm loving it.
• 18:06
  That video is so powerful. It's a beautiful thing because you have to speak
• 18:11
  positivity over yourself in order to get positive results. You are. Whatever you
• 18:18
  put out into the universe will remember that. So if you speak negatively over
• 18:21
  yourself, that's what that's what you're gonna get back in Rich. So I
• 18:25
  love y'all again, Thank y'all so much for joining your bro tonight. But
• 18:30
  I need to go ahead and jump into the nice conversation when I tell y'all,
• 18:38
  when I saw this story come across my timeline the other day, I
• 18:44
  thought about mine, and I said, that could have been mine. That
• 18:55
  could have been a Netflix, that could have been aver, that could have
• 18:57
  been a fringe. This baby, y'all sixteen, Yes, and we're shocked.
• 19:11
  Why but knocking on the wrong. So it's a nice conversation. We're
• 19:17
  talking about black teens and gunbys. When will it in? We see this
• 19:22
  all far too all? We have had two hundred did they say two hundred?
• 19:30
  What did they say? Two hundred and sixty four? No, I'm
• 19:33
  so far with one hundred and sixty four Mash Street since January one of twenty
• 19:38
  and we're just four months and eighteen day seventeen days one. I want to
• 19:45
  say they set one hundred and sixty I could be wrong, but when is
• 19:52
  enough going to be enough? We're not saying church, We're not saying fool
• 20:00
  when I say that the malls, when I keep the movie theaters, you
• 20:07
  would think church, of all places, will be safe. We're not safe
• 20:11
  in the grocery store. Where are we gonna be safe? When? When
• 20:19
  is it gonna end? We're worried about the police killing us, but now
• 20:29
  we've gotta people out here that are killing. Yes, I know y'all are
• 20:33
  gonna say, oh, but we're killing each other? Then violence period?
• 20:42
  When is it gonna end? Do y'all not realize that there are more guns
• 20:47
  in the world than there are? People will thay I'm off of the rights
• 20:53
  to bear arms. So I don't want anyone to feel like I'm against it
• 20:59
  because I'm for the rights of bear arms. I'm for that, But I
• 21:04
  want to talk about these one these people that are not mentally stable. They're
• 21:15
  going into school, they're going into the mold. You're not even safe at
• 21:18
  work without the fear of somebody coming in and taking your life. When is
• 21:29
  it gonna? When is it gonna? Let me take a deep breath,
• 21:40
  because this story here was so heartbreak Definitely, definitely a heartbreaking story. I
• 21:51
  want to jump into nights talking about Ralph's yard, but many of that don't
• 21:56
  know. Ralph y'all, sixteen years old from Liberty, Missouri, was shot
• 22:00
  white on Saturday. Um he was picking up his twin brothers. Um knocked
• 22:10
  on the on the wrong door, was shot through the soho the door that
• 22:15
  he knocked on. The man came, shot through the door, then opened
• 22:18
  the door and proceeded to shoot his baby again again. He was shot in
• 22:27
  the head, they said, by his eye, and he was shot in
• 22:33
  the arm. But people are saying, what would you do if someone came
• 22:38
  knocking at your door at ten o'clock in the morning. My first reaction is
• 22:42
  not the shoe. Not the shoe. He baby sixteen years I mean,
• 22:56
  if you look at him, let me show you this is rob yard.
• 23:03
  Does he look like somebody that was caught was coming to cause trouble or confusion?
• 23:08
  He knocked at the wrong door, He had the addresses mixed up and
• 23:14
  was shot by this gentleman right here. Eighty four year old Andrew Lesson shot
• 23:32
  him one time through the door, then opened the door while this baby was
• 23:34
  laying on the ground and shot him again. Eighty four year old Andrew left.
• 23:42
  This isn't gentleman that shot rock so Kara actually was ten o'clocket. It
• 23:55
  was like nine something at night. He was coming to he was picking up
• 23:59
  his twin brother. And once I showed it, once I rolled the video,
• 24:03
  he had the streets confused. So the street that he should have been
• 24:08
  on, I believe it was like two blocks a wink. So he knocked
• 24:12
  on the incorrect door. This man immediately grabbed his gun. He fired through
• 24:18
  the door, opened the door, shot his baby again at point blank rings
• 24:23
  and told him don't come around him no more. So let me see can
• 24:33
  you hear me now? Is that better? Let me pull the microphone a
• 24:37
  little closer. Can you hear me now? Is that a little better?
• 24:41
  But I want to say it was about ten o'clock at night. I want
• 24:47
  to say it was ten o'clock at night? Can you hear me out?
• 24:49
  Robert and I and I probably had to move my microphone a little closer.
• 24:55
  But here we go. Oh, so he said, as I heard about
• 25:00
  this story, though bs more b as absolutely, because I'm not thinking at
• 25:07
  ten o'clock at night that someone, you know, I get it, this
• 25:12
  man was bolder. And again this is not making an excuse. I get
• 25:15
  eighty four years old, who is not gonna have to go at ten o'clock
• 25:18
  at night. But you're not thinking about grabbing a gun easy, So okay,
• 25:26
  I just wanted to make sure that I was better, I think because
• 25:30
  I'm sitting back, but I pulled the microphone a little closer. I try
• 25:33
  to keep because I don't want it in front of me because y'all won't be
• 25:36
  able to see my face because the microphone is a little big. But we're
• 25:41
  gonna keep it going. You just let me know. So Jules says,
• 25:45
  it's by God's grace and mercy that this young man is still alive and finally
• 25:48
  at home. I just think God that this evil ass demon didn't succeed in
• 25:52
  taking his life. Absolutely, And then the saddest part about all of this
• 25:56
  is no one wanted to help this beat. So there was a nine one
• 26:00
  one caller and the dispatcher said, don't go outside because we don't know if
• 26:07
  it's an act to shoot. But salute to this woman who will only be
• 26:11
  identified as Jodie, was staying out there with this young man until paramedics arrived.
• 26:19
  So shout out to you, Jody, but being this young man's anger,
• 26:23
  because this could have went a completely different week. Um, this this
• 26:32
  baby could have lost m he got some and then were shot. You shot
• 26:42
  him first through the door, then you open the door and you shot him
• 26:48
  again. So you're welcome, baby, You're welcome, sweetie. So Julie
• 26:57
  says his ass should be arrested in charge with a tempted murder. So we're
• 27:00
  gonna get into so let me say this. He has been arrested. He
• 27:06
  has been charged with first degree assault, which is punishable up to twenty five
• 27:14
  to life in Missouri. That's the highest. It's almost like a tempted murder.
• 27:18
  But see, when it comes to attempted murder, you have to prove
• 27:22
  that this was pre meditate, you know, you have to prove that he
• 27:26
  did this within ten So again in Missouri, because I focused a couple of
• 27:32
  people that reside in Massouri and they say that this is actually the highest card.
• 27:37
  It's almost like second to remove so without it being and you have a
• 27:42
  better chance of securing a conviction because you don't want him overcharged, because we
• 27:48
  saw what happened with trey Bon Martin. They overcharged George Zimmerman. And guess
• 27:52
  what happened. George Zimmerman got to walk in Treybon Martin. It's still there.
• 27:56
  So Terra says, sorry, I thought it was ten in the morning.
• 28:00
  Just don't answer the door that late eighty four year old man should be
• 28:03
  in a bed. I agreed you absolutely, but it was what he said
• 28:08
  because there were two accounts, and they said the reason that they did not
• 28:17
  initially file charges was because they were waiting on a statement from roth Yard.
• 28:26
  So you mean to tell me, what if this baby wouldn't have made would
• 28:32
  you have press charges? Would charges still have been filed? That's some million
• 28:34
  dollars, That's what I want to know. But they said the reason that
• 28:37
  they didn't they arrested him that well, they detained him that night. He
• 28:41
  was released the same night, but they didn't arrest technically arrest him because they
• 28:47
  were waiting on a statement from roth Yard. Again, what if this baby
• 28:51
  wouldn't have made and it took for the community, and this is what I
• 28:59
  say to people all the time. With community steps in the community went in
• 29:04
  protests and they rallied until this man was arrested, until charges will fotom.
• 29:11
  This man was arrested, who shout out to the community of Liberty, Missouri,
• 29:15
  who fulled together, white, black, Asian, Hispanic was all out
• 29:19
  that marching protesting in front of Andrew Leicester's home until he was arrested and finally
• 29:27
  trumped. So he was charged with He has two charges. I know the
• 29:32
  first one is activate up. I played a video, y'all because I can't
• 29:37
  remember off the top of my head. But so Jewel says, we all
• 29:45
  know if that role was reversed and it was a black man who the white
• 29:48
  kid's ass would have been arrested that night. Different strokes for different folks.
• 29:52
  So what you're saying, jew is accurate because that was part of the reason
• 29:57
  that the charges were fire because they did feel like there was a racial component
• 30:03
  because of what Andrew Lester said, who Ralph y'all after he shot it.
• 30:10
  So Paris says, I'm happy you're speaking on this because I have not heard
• 30:12
  this whole story. When I tell you, Kara, this here. It
• 30:15
  really it really broke my heart because had this had been a white man that
• 30:22
  shot a I'm so sorry, a black man that shot a white kid,
• 30:26
  he would have been arrested that night, no questions asked, wouldn't have been
• 30:30
  waiting on those statements. He would have been arrested that night. So let
• 30:33
  me go ahead, and I'm an roll of the video for them. For
• 30:37
  those that are just tuning in that do not know the story, I'm speaking
• 30:40
  about sixteen year old rout y'arrell who sixteen years old was shot in Liberty,
• 30:45
  Missouri. I believe it was on Saturday as he went to pick up his
• 30:52
  siblings. He knocked on the wrong door. He had the address confused and
• 30:56
  was shot two times. The first time he was shot through the door,
• 31:00
  through the glass door, and mister Andrew left her opened the door when Rolph
• 31:04
  was down on the round and proceeded young man again. So full tight,
• 31:10
  here we go, and then we're going to drop something you on with the
• 31:11
  conversation. The family of a black teenager shot in the head in Kansas City,
• 31:17
  Missouri, has hired two well known civil rights attorneys. Police have not
• 31:21
  released the name of the young person, but his family and attorneys say he
• 31:25
  is sixteen year old Ralph Yarrell. Police say he was trying to pick up
• 31:29
  his younger siblings last week when he went to the wrong address after ringing the
• 31:33
  doorbell. He was then shot by the owner of the home. The family's
• 31:36
  lawyers say that owner is a white man. Police would not confirm Yarrell's injuries,
• 31:41
  but his aunt wrote online that the teenager was shot in the head and
• 31:45
  while lying on the ground. She says he was shot a second time.
• 31:48
  NBC News correspondent Maggie Vespa joins us Now, Maggie, the homeowner was arrested
• 31:52
  and I understand released after twenty four hours. What's the latest. Yeah,
• 31:57
  I think actually the terminology is the homeowner was taken into custody. And that's
• 32:00
  a really important stipulation, police say, because they say they're investigating this case.
• 32:05
  But under Missouri law, the homeowner, who they have yet to name,
• 32:07
  they have yet to give any identifying details about that person, can only
• 32:10
  be held for twenty four hours until being arrested and charge. And they say
• 32:15
  the main hold up in this case right now is that they don't have a
• 32:19
  statement from the victim. From the sixteen year old boy, who was shot
• 32:22
  in this case, because he's in the hospital recovering from those gunshot wounds.
• 32:25
  So once you know, basically per his condition, he's able to give that
• 32:30
  statement, give his side of what happened. Police say, this investigation,
• 32:34
  which they promised to be fast and thorough, that's when they expect it to
• 32:37
  really move forward in that substantial way. So we'll wait and see when that
• 32:42
  happens. Came and Nye, how is the community responding to all of this?
• 32:46
  Yeah, Kate, as you can imagine, I mean, when people
• 32:49
  heard basically that this happened Thursday night and here we are now on Monday,
• 32:52
  and there is yet to be an arrest. There is yet to be a
• 32:55
  shooter named in this case. And you can see we saw protests over the
• 32:59
  week. Again they are hundreds at that one. They are furious and they
• 33:02
  are demanding justice in this case for Ralph Jarl, who again is recovering at
• 33:07
  a hospital. Take a listen. I realize that justice doesn't come overnight.
• 33:15
  But the fact that there's a kid in the hospital and everything I read says
• 33:19
  not even a charge has been done, that concerns something else that's worth noting.
• 33:24
  The police have held press conferences in this case, and in one particular
• 33:30
  press conference, the police chief was asked by reporters what kind of defense they
• 33:35
  expect to see in this case, and a reporter ask, could you see,
• 33:37
  for instance, a stand your ground defense? Missouri does have a stand
• 33:42
  your ground law which has basically been used for self defense, especially on a
• 33:45
  person's property, as you know, and the chief sort of said, anything
• 33:47
  is possible in this case. That is a very big possibility in this case
• 33:52
  as well, and that's really upset a lot of people at those protests as
• 33:55
  well, because, again, as we've been told by the family, this
• 33:58
  boy basically rang the doorbell and that's what caused us to happen. Okay,
• 34:01
  all right. NBC News correspondent Maggie vespo with us. Maggie, thank you
• 34:05
  so much. Thanks for watching our YouTube channel. Follow today's top stories and
• 34:12
  breaking news by downloading the NBC News app. So again, y'all, sixteen
• 34:31
  year old Roth y'all was want to pick up his twin brothers when he was
• 34:37
  shot. White first time he was shot, he was shot through the door.
• 34:44
  He was shot. The bullet hit him in the head I believe they
• 34:46
  said, like close to the eye. And then once he was on the
• 34:51
  ground, he was shot again. So his baby, sixteen years old,
• 34:53
  was shot white. Um let me say this trigger warning. But here's a
• 35:02
  picture of him in the hospital. So you see Ralph Yarrow, this innocent
• 35:09
  sixteen year old who was confused, he knocked on the incorrect fool that did
• 35:16
  not warrant this baby to be shot white to me, and this is just
• 35:22
  me, I'm no lawyer, but you intentionally we're trying to shoot kill this
• 35:30
  young man when you shot him the second time because you opened the door,
• 35:35
  you fire through the door, through your glass door, hitting his baby in
• 35:38
  the head. Then you open the door and you shot him again. So
• 35:42
  you can't tell me that was a stand your ground because you are not in
• 35:46
  fear of your life. This baby had no weapons on him, nothing.
• 35:51
  So I hope to staying your ground long shit does not work because it's a
• 35:54
  bunch of cock I MA and me bullshit. Let me just go on and
• 35:57
  see that. I think this is crazy. I think this is foolishness with
• 36:02
  this stay in your ground because you were not unfair of your life. He
• 36:06
  was not trying to break into your home. Because this is what I'm gonna
• 36:10
  I'm gonna roll into that. But mister Lester said that this baby was trying
• 36:15
  to open his door, was trying to come into his home. Here you
• 36:21
  are with you, I get it, you're trying to you know, you'll
• 36:23
  stand your ground angle. But when this baby told the story, when he
• 36:30
  gave his statement, that to me, what this baby said was a little
• 36:35
  more believable than what miss c Lester see because the young man said, I
• 36:39
  wasn't trying to open the door. He said, I rang the doorbell and
• 36:44
  I stepped back. Then I wait, that's typically what people do when people
• 36:47
  come in. They knock on your door, They ring your doorbell, They
• 36:51
  ring it and your step back. He wasn't trying to open the door,
• 36:57
  like Miss c Lester said, So hints they feel like there's a racial component
• 37:04
  in. Let me know, if the rules were reversed, if this was
• 37:08
  a black man that shot a white child, do you think he would have
• 37:14
  been arrested that same night? Do you think they would have been waiting on
• 37:15
  a statement. We have to call the shit out for what it is,
• 37:20
  y'all. You know a lot of people, I get it, y'all don't
• 37:23
  want to with the racial old tone. But when you hear what miss Celester
• 37:30
  said. Maybe it'll change your way of thinking. Maybe you'll be like,
• 37:32
  you know what, it may be a racial old undertone owned it. So
• 37:37
  let me jump into some of the comments because I want to keep this conversation
• 37:42
  going. So Kara says, there's no there's no fucking defense. Exactly exactly,
• 37:51
  So Robert says, especially since he was shot in the head, what
• 37:53
  kind of head is to call brain damage with interferes with the coherent memory of
• 37:59
  the event, Get the fuck out of here, That's what Robert says.
• 38:02
  I'm right there with him. Hey, cousin, good to see you,
• 38:07
  baby. So Kara says, the PTSD is going that he is going to
• 38:12
  have He ran the goddamn doorbell and stepped back. When I played the video,
• 38:17
  you're gonna hear and you're gonna be like, what this baby said is
• 38:22
  a little more believable. And then I heard I don't know how true this
• 38:27
  is, but I hear they're trying to go with and say this man has
• 38:30
  the mention. I don't know how true that is. I verify with my
• 38:35
  sources to see if this is the way that they're going, but I have
• 38:37
  not heard it. Anywhere on social media. So KK says other Trayvon Martin
• 38:45
  situations. Absolutely, but this also takes me back to another story, y'all
• 38:50
  that happened back in twenty thirteen, similar situation that a young lady crashed her
• 39:00
  car. She winning and this happened in Detroit, And I'm gonna roll the
• 39:04
  video. This happened in Detroit. Rnicia McBride, nineteen old. She crashed
• 39:08
  the car. She went and knocked on a man's door. I believe they
• 39:13
  said it was like three or four o'clock in the morning. The man opened
• 39:15
  the door, shot with a rifle, rough out the door. He opened
• 39:22
  the door, shot with his rifle, and I believe he closed the door
• 39:24
  shot this young lady in the feet. This is like dejahbu all over it.
• 39:32
  And I've spoken about Rhnicia mcbrock, I've spoken about Rickie aboard and just
• 39:40
  when is enough gonna be enough? When is enough gonna be enough? So
• 39:46
  are we shooting first and then asking questions later? Are we just automatically assuming,
• 39:52
  Hey, someone said my door trying to rob me and we're automatically shooting
• 39:54
  through the door. What if that's your child trying to get in the door
• 40:00
  and you shoot your child. I've seen stories like that where parents have accidentally
• 40:05
  shot their children inside the home. See so Kara says, that's not what
• 40:13
  staying your ground is. Absolutely because he was not in fear of his life.
• 40:17
  This baby had no weapons, he was knocked, there was no sign
• 40:21
  of force entry. There's no evidence that even supports that this baby was trying
• 40:24
  to come into your home. You immediately when you heard the knock on the
• 40:28
  door, you're picked up your gun. You immediately fired through your glass door,
• 40:31
  hitting this baby in the head. Then you opened the door, you
• 40:36
  went out, and you shot this baby again while he was on the ground.
• 40:40
  So your hole and fit, sir, was to kill this baby.
• 40:45
  That was your whole goddamnit tip. So all that will stay in your ground
• 40:47
  bullshit. Throw that shit out with the fucking trash tomorrow. And I'm just
• 40:52
  gonna say it clear as day like that, Put that shit on the curb
• 40:54
  tomorrow with your train or whatever they you're trash from, because that's bullshit theory.
• 41:00
  And I'm just gonna see so Harra says, how can it not be
• 41:05
  racial? Overtuned? Black man, black kid not happening, white man,
• 41:09
  a white man white kid. Not happened, right, So it's like,
• 41:14
  again, you did not arrest this man the night it happened. You you
• 41:19
  detained him, You let him go pending a statement from this young man,
• 41:28
  sixteen years old. He's never been in trouble. He is an honor band.
• 41:34
  He plays band. He plays the base, the base clarinet, and
• 41:37
  he runs track for the school. This baby was more in fear of you
• 41:44
  than you were of him. He was picking up his siblings. And this
• 41:49
  is how this baby looks, this is how you left him, Miss Celester.
• 41:54
  He knocked on your damn door, for Christ's sick. I could see
• 41:58
  if he was trying to come in, but again there was no sign of
• 42:01
  forced entry. There's no evidence to support that you would in fear of your
• 42:06
  life. But you knew exactly what you were doing because in that moment when
• 42:12
  you're shot through the dormant, ce Lester, you had a moment to think
• 42:15
  because you opened the door and shot this baby. Again. So miss me
• 42:21
  with the bullshit, miss me with an always sustanion rod Nor, it's not
• 42:25
  you did this with ill intent. Here, this is what you did.
• 42:30
  You did it with ill intent. You did it, you did not do
• 42:34
  it because you were in fear of your life. Miss me with put the
• 42:37
  shit out on the curb tomorrow. That's all I'm gonna tell you. Put
• 42:40
  the shit out on the curb tomorrow, because I don't believe it for a
• 42:44
  second. I do not believe that you would in fear of your life.
• 42:47
  I don't care. This is mister Andrew Lester. This is him. This
• 42:53
  is him, This is who shot Ralph. Y'all this bea look at this
• 43:01
  beat. I won't try to look at this beat. Just to be your
• 43:05
  child, this to be your neighbor's child, this to be a cousin,
• 43:08
  this to be a nephew. Just imagine this being your beab. That was
• 43:15
  that was just going to pick up his sippy. That's all he was doing.
• 43:20
  He wasn't in the act of trying to commit a crime, he wasn't
• 43:24
  in the act of of trying to harm anybody, but innocently picking up this
• 43:34
  and was shocked. I I speak on this to customer who has had an
• 43:44
  encounter with the fool and was definitely afraid to drive for two years. I've
• 43:51
  been that mind. So if I don't speak out on this and advocate,
• 43:59
  who else is gonna do if I don't shout out to Missouri, let me
• 44:06
  I got to get in people around them applause, because let me tell you
• 44:08
  something. That community came together for you, mister Ralph Yard, who secure
• 44:15
  and make sure that mister Andrew Lester was arresting and shut with the shoes,
• 44:28
  sixteen year old Ralph Yard. I say this with so much conviction, is
• 44:34
  so much cashion in my heart, because I'm sick of seeing this. I'm
• 44:37
  out of doing stories about these black young black boys that are not allowed to
• 44:44
  grow. Now you got to worry about knocking on the wrong door. You
• 44:47
  got to worry about pulling up in the wrong driveway. Now we're still afraid
• 44:55
  of the police, but now we got to worry about just doing simple things.
• 45:00
  Now this could get you killed for knocking on the wrong door, pulling
• 45:05
  in the wrong driveway, asking a question, going to a party to get
• 45:13
  you killed. I remember, back when I was coming up, how safe
• 45:17
  the community used to be, and the way this community banded together, and
• 45:23
  the way Miss Jody went out there and sat with Ralph Yarrow until the ambulance
• 45:30
  came to get him. I com mentor that's what the village is supposed to
• 45:35
  be. The village is supposed to come together. You're supposed to look out
• 45:37
  for one another. You get what I'm saying. This is what you're supposed
• 45:40
  to do. This is what I tell y'all on every show that I do
• 45:44
  when I say we need the village. This is what I mean. This
• 45:47
  is what I mean when I say we need the village. Because the way
• 45:52
  this community came out and it was all colors, white, black, Asian
• 45:57
  Latino was out there in support of this young man. They didn't look at
• 46:02
  this baby as this is a black boy. They looked at him as this
• 46:07
  could be my chop. This couldn't have been my baby knocking on somebody's door.
• 46:13
  This could have been my baby pulling up in the wrong driveway. Anything.
• 46:17
  They took the removed color out of the equation. But when it comes
• 46:22
  to you and Celester, it was definitely racially motivated because in that moment,
• 46:27
  you knew what the fuck you were doing. You knew after your shot through
• 46:30
  that door, you opened your door, you let me let me back up,
• 46:35
  you unlocked your door, You opened it when this baby was laying on
• 46:38
  the ground and your shot him again. So that is not staying your ground
• 46:43
  and celester, i'nna need you to try something else, Okay, thank you.
• 46:46
  I'm gonna need you to try something else. I'm gonna need you to
• 46:49
  do something different. And if the court of law believes this bullshit, Heaven
• 46:55
  forbid us, baby, because we're all fucking doing. We are all doing
• 47:01
  if y'all believed that this was a standard ground situation, because it wasn't.
• 47:07
  No evidence supports. When that young man gave his statement, he told y'all
• 47:12
  in the statement that this is how it happened. And the way Ralph y'all
• 47:20
  told explained to us what happened, it's more believable than what you said been
• 47:24
  Celesti, you're full of shit. He's some profs Okay, So Kak says,
• 47:35
  this happened too much, she said, praying for that baby. Absolute
• 47:39
  Absolute Kendra says, I'm glad they decided to charge you. I'm glad too.
• 47:46
  But here's the kicker part, though I ain't even gotten to the kicker
• 47:50
  part, y'all. So yes, he's been charged, he's been arrested.
• 47:52
  Okay. So Carra says, just being irresponsible. Big brother Absolute Harris said,
• 48:01
  oh he knew sick fuck apt exactly. You knew what you were doing,
• 48:07
  you were aware, you were conscious of what you're doing, because again
• 48:09
  you shot through the glass door, hitting this baby in the head. You
• 48:14
  proceeded to unlock it, open your door, and you fired again while this
• 48:16
  baby was laying on the black. So someone tell me how that staying your
• 48:22
  brown? I'm really just trying to make sense of this. I just I
• 48:28
  just want some understanding, like if if am I over looking something? Am
• 48:31
  I looking at this incorrectly? And what y'all tell me? Does this sound
• 48:37
  like something like staying your brown? Because it absolutely to me a dook,
• 48:43
  because again, there's no evidence that support that you were in for your your
• 48:45
  life. No you know, no force entry, the baby, had no
• 48:52
  weapon on, no nothing. And this baby went to three houses y'all before
• 48:59
  someone decided to help. I forgot to put that in there. Who was
• 49:04
  the three houses first before someone decided that this baby could have died had no
• 49:09
  one to help. Then it was another neighbor that jumped a fence y'all and
• 49:16
  set with with baby and rob. I'm to the ambulance teaming will shout out
• 49:24
  to those neighbors that were pro active in saving this baby. Who it?
• 49:36
  Y'all. Y'all know I'm a big old cry baby, but I'm I'm a
• 49:38
  saying strong in this in this story tonight. I'm gonna staying strong tonight.
• 49:43
  Okay, all right, Well, here we go. Um, y'all text
• 49:51
  this video and y'all tell me what you think. Tonight. We're getting answers
• 49:57
  about what happened before Routine was shot after going to the wrong house in Kansas
• 50:00
  City North. Good evening, everybody. I'm Chris Katz. Here's what we
• 50:04
  know tonight. There's now in a rest warrant out for eighty four year old
• 50:07
  Andrew D. Lester, wanted on two fellond accounts first degree assault an armed
• 50:12
  criminal action. The Clay County Prosecutor says Lester shot sixteen year old Ralph Yarroll
• 50:16
  twice through his glass front door last Thursday night. Yarrell accidentally went to the
• 50:22
  wrong house to pick up his siblings. He mixed up Northeast one hundred and
• 50:27
  fifteenth Terrace and Northeast one hundred fifteenth Street. We continue our team coverage tonight.
• 50:31
  Our Peyton Headley is in that neighborhood where it all happened, talking with
• 50:35
  neighbors. But we begin with Kamis and Nice Jackson. Kurtz live outside the
• 50:38
  Clay County Courthouse in Liberty Jackson. You've read through court documents. Did the
• 50:43
  prosecutors say why it took so long to file charges? Chris Clay County Prosecutors
• 50:51
  says before they were given the case from Kansas City Police, moore had to
• 50:54
  be done to charge Lester like it a witness statement and lab result. The
• 51:00
  probably will cause here gives us more of a glimpse into what happened that night
• 51:04
  when Ralph Yarrell was shot. We now know that Andrew Lester arrived at KCPDE
• 51:09
  headquarters that night to provide a statement. He told police that he had just
• 51:13
  laid down in his bed when he heard the doorbell ring. That's when Lester
• 51:16
  says he picked up his gun, a thirty two caliber Revolver. Before getting
• 51:22
  to his door. Lesser says he opened his interior door and saw a black
• 51:25
  man about six feet tall that was Yarrell, trying to open his exterior glass
• 51:30
  stoor. He believed someone was trying to break in. He shot twice within
• 51:35
  a few seconds through the glass. Lesser then says Yarrel ran away he called
• 51:40
  nine to one one. Lesser stated that no words were exchanged during the incident
• 51:45
  and said the shooting sixteen year old Rough Yarl was the last thing he wanted
• 51:49
  to do, but he was scared now. Rolf Yarral also told police what
• 51:53
  he says happened that night as well. He says once he arrived at the
• 51:57
  home, he walked up to the door, press the doorbell and had waited
• 52:00
  to answer. Yarrell said it took a long time for the man to come
• 52:04
  to the door, but once he did, he had a firearm and he
• 52:07
  immediately shot him in the head and fell to the ground. Yarll says he
• 52:12
  was then shot a second time in the arm while he was on the ground.
• 52:15
  He told police he did not pull the door and ran away to keep
• 52:20
  from being shot. Now Yarrell says the man told him don't come around here.
• 52:24
  Yarl then went to multiple houses to ask for help until someone finally called
• 52:30
  nine to one one. My message to the community is that in Clay County,
• 52:36
  we enforced the laws and we follow the laws, and it does not
• 52:38
  matter where you come from, or what you look like, or how much
• 52:43
  money you have. Everyone is held to the same standard. Now It is
• 52:50
  important to note that on the night of the shooting, Clay County Prosecutor's Office
• 52:53
  a vibsed CASEYPD to release Leser pending further investigation. As mentioned, they were
• 53:00
  still waiting for more things to charge him officially. So y'all tell me whose
• 53:12
  story is more believable, Ralph Yarrow or Andrew Lesson. I'm just honey,
• 53:29
  hey, Bay, I hope you're having a good night at work. I
• 53:31
  love you. Kara says, I'm just as disappointed and discussed with those piece
• 53:37
  of shit neighbors. What the fuck right? Right? So Carol? So
• 53:45
  carro says he's still not in tust. Let me go ahead and let me
• 53:54
  play this. Robert says, looks pretty cut and dry to me. So
• 53:59
  again, it goes back to staying the way Ralph's statement was was a little
• 54:07
  more believing, because again, typically when you're ringing somebody's doorbell, you're typically
• 54:12
  you're staying back, you know, you're just kind of leaning back a little
• 54:15
  bit, or you kind of turned to the side to you know, wait
• 54:16
  on someone to open the door. You shot through the glass door. Then
• 54:27
  when the baby fell, you shot him again in the arm when he was
• 54:32
  on the ground. This baby muscled up the courage to get away. Bob
• 54:42
  was when I tell you, God had that baby wrapped fool tight in his
• 54:45
  own three neighbors before someone finally called nine one. So again, just imagine
• 54:59
  had no one answer. Imagine would this baby still be a lot? That's
• 55:09
  the question is would this baby even still be a lot? So carot to
• 55:17
  ask for your question. Uh, I'm gonna roll this, but you breaking
• 55:25
  news. Eighty four year old Andrew Lester surrendered to Clay County Sheriff's deputies this
• 55:30
  afternoon. I'm Kelly Eckerman and I'm Laura Moore. It's Lester has already posted
• 55:34
  bonden is out of jail. The Clay County Prosecutor charged Lester with first degree
• 55:39
  assault and armed criminal action. This is after he is accused of shooting sixteen
• 55:45
  year old Ralph Yural Thursday night. Yarall was trying to pick up his younger
• 55:49
  siblings but went to the wrong house. This is all happening in Liberty,
• 55:53
  Missouri, this afternoon. An investigative reporter, Matt Leaner, has been there
• 55:57
  throughout the afternoon with all of these breaking details on the case. A lot
• 56:00
  of this happening just within the hour, Matt, Laura Kelly, that's exactly
• 56:07
  right, very busy afternoon here in Liberty. First, we do want to
• 56:10
  tell you that Andrew Lester was booked into the Clay County Detention Center here in
• 56:15
  Liberty just after one o'clock, shortly after he actually did postpond two hundred thousand
• 56:21
  dollars bond is what he had. It comes as both local pastors and Ralph
• 56:25
  Yarles's family and Ralph Yarles's attorney met with the Clay County prosecutor today, one
• 56:30
  day after Lester was charged with two felony accounts of armed criminal action and assault.
• 56:35
  We did get an update on Ralph's condition from his family attorney. Ralph
• 56:42
  is still day to day. He is doing exceptionally well considering that he was
• 56:45
  shot point blank range in the face on Thursday. However, he is a
• 56:50
  young man who suffered very serious injuries and he's working his way through it.
• 56:55
  And I did follow up and ask if he is expected to make a full
• 56:59
  recovery. There is good news that the family attorney said yes, Ralph Yarrell
• 57:04
  is expected to make a full recovery. Obviously, a lot of emotional trauma
• 57:07
  with this as well. By the way, Lester who did bond out,
• 57:10
  He's expected back in court here in Liberty tomorrow at one thirty Live in Liberty,
• 57:15
  Matt Cleaner, Can you be sen I do now? Local civil rights
• 57:19
  leaders are planning to hold a rally for Ralph Yarl anytime now. We're going
• 57:22
  to monitor that situation and take you to that rally just as soon as it
• 57:27
  starts now. Meanwhile, Yarl's aunt says he is doing under okay under the
• 57:30
  circumstances, but that he does need to recover both physically and emotionally. There's
• 57:39
  a major part of Ralph that died on Thursday. What Ralph went through like
• 57:46
  he lost a part of himself that day. I doubt Ralph is even one
• 57:51
  hundred and seventy pounds. Ralph is not even six feet like Ralph. When
• 57:58
  you see Ralph in all of the pictures that you have seen on social media
• 58:04
  and everywhere else, I don't see how you see fear. I don't know
• 58:09
  how you can see fear when you look at that care So you guys heard
• 58:16
  it yourself. You've heard it yourself. So Andrew Lester was arrested and has
• 58:29
  already posted a two hundred thousand dollars bond, so he is out. He
• 58:36
  goes back to forth tomorrow though he's out of jail, y'all. So he
• 58:40
  was arrested, posted bond, and we'll be back and forth tomorrow. Kara
• 58:49
  says, bullshit. Jule says he hasn't been arrested as of yet because he
• 58:55
  belongs to the College Flower congregation. But he was arrested sins. But he
• 59:01
  posted a two hundred thousand dollars bond, So what I don't understand. And
• 59:06
  maybe again, I'm not an attorney, so I don't know how the laws
• 59:08
  work in Missouri. I know, you know, all laws vary from state
• 59:15
  to state, but a two hundred thousand dollars bond two hundred thousand dollars in
• 59:25
  most states. I believe it's what the percentages? What ten percent? So
• 59:30
  ten percent a two hundred thousand, that's how much he had to pay to
• 59:32
  get out of jail. The community raised money, pastors his family. I
• 59:43
  know they say innocent until proven guilty, but we know what you did.
• 59:53
  You just heard the ant say he's not six feet tall. You just heard
• 1:00:00
  my aunt's safe. He's not even one hundred and seventy pounds. So who
• 1:00:05
  are you afraid of? What were you thinking? Like, I really wan't
• 1:00:15
  try to tell me how two plus two week goals five make us make sense
• 1:00:17
  to me? The family has told you, do you realize the therapy that
• 1:00:27
  this baby is going to need once he recovers. This baby's gonna have PTSD
• 1:00:35
  everything. Anytime he hears gone like, it's gonna set this baby off.
• 1:00:42
  So we have to pray for his well being. We have to pray for
• 1:00:46
  peace over this baby's mental because he's gonna need intense therapy once he recovers.
• 1:00:52
  Because he's never gonna recover from this. He's always gonna be afraid that if
• 1:00:57
  he knocks on the wrong door that this is gonna happen again. And you,
• 1:01:00
  miss c Lester, you caused that with the with the facetious bullshit that
• 1:01:06
  you tried to play for people. You tried to see, Oh this it
• 1:01:09
  was he was sixty, but you heard what he said. You shot him
• 1:01:15
  through the door, you open the door, You shot him again in the
• 1:01:16
  arm and he was laying on the ground again. How were you in fear
• 1:01:20
  of your life? Sir? Make this make sense to me. Show me,
• 1:01:29
  miss Celester, where you were in fear of your life. I do
• 1:01:31
  not believe that this David tried to open your door. I do not believe
• 1:01:37
  this this child was trying to come into your house. I would feel the
• 1:01:40
  same way if this was a white child. So row bless you baby,
• 1:01:52
  my heart when I tell you, and I'm looking at this from a mother's
• 1:01:58
  pet, how this mother must be to get a phone call to be told
• 1:02:08
  that your baby has been shot because he went to the wrong Imagine it as
• 1:02:21
  a mother, as a father, as a siby. Because these brothers,
• 1:02:28
  the twins that he wants to go pick up, they may blame themselves.
• 1:02:32
  The mama may blame myself for telling him to go get the brother with parents,
• 1:02:45
  with siblings, this the anybody this baby? Now ya say she's with
• 1:03:01
  you, Kyra. She say that's some bullshit, Kyra say his whole family
• 1:03:07
  will need their absolute because the brothers may say, well, if mommy would
• 1:03:13
  have never sent you to pick us up, mom may say I never should
• 1:03:16
  have send you to go get. We have to pray for this baby's mental
• 1:03:27
  because he would When all these situations continue to happen, you're creating a bigger
• 1:03:34
  mental health problem that we have yet attacked. That's a whole another conversation.
• 1:03:45
  Man shooting, you're creating a bigger problem and we haven't even addressed or scratch
• 1:03:52
  the surface when it comes to mental health. Because you know why, because
• 1:03:55
  they put the funding for it. But that's a whole other conversation. Y'all
• 1:04:02
  know, I advocate for mental health because I'm a person that suffers from the
• 1:04:06
  pression and anxiety. I advocate for what I encourage people, therapy, therapy,
• 1:04:12
  the every baby, please get the help, please go here. I
• 1:04:15
  encourage them. But not only are we dealing with the gun violence, but
• 1:04:20
  now we're dealing with the mental trauma that's gonna be that comes along with you.
• 1:04:27
  Well, now we're trying to balance two situations at once and we haven't
• 1:04:32
  even tap of the first one. Gun control. We need strict a gun
• 1:04:36
  law. But that's a whole all I could see. Now you say bless
• 1:04:53
  him? Lest that be absolutely absolutely? I I know girls, I know
• 1:05:00
  who it is, but this it's Tara says, Hi, can't you Oh
• 1:05:09
  don't Tara. I'm gonna send you Ken your number. I'm gonna send it
• 1:05:12
  to you. She told me, y'all can give it to you. Oh,
• 1:05:15
  but we have a whole another issue that we have to tackle now because
• 1:05:19
  again we're trying to deal with it with the gun violence, but now you're
• 1:05:25
  creating mental health issues. M hmoh. So I want to move on,
• 1:05:43
  let me, let me, let me wrap up with Ralph and then I
• 1:05:45
  want to move on and I want to talk about the deed Bill shooting.
• 1:05:55
  This happened Saturday, had a sweet sixteen birthday. Let's finish with Rob and
• 1:06:12
  then I want to move into that store so Rob's mother. So here it
• 1:06:21
  is, We're gonna round. We're gonna end this segment with that, and
• 1:06:25
  then I want to roll again into the Day Deal shooting because this one here
• 1:06:29
  just absolutely broke my heart because again you're not safe anywhere. You can't go
• 1:06:34
  party, you can't grocery stores, church, you can't even march and protest
• 1:06:41
  peacefu without from boys. So here's here. We are gonna hear from Rob's
• 1:06:48
  mom, and we're gonna end this segment and move on into the day Dell
• 1:06:53
  shoot. The mother of a sixteen year old block boy who was shot after
• 1:06:57
  mistakenly going to the wrong house of Missouri as her son is receiving medical care
• 1:07:00
  at home and is doing considerably well. Meantime, prosecutors have filed first degree
• 1:07:05
  assault charges against an eighty four year old white man. Ralph was shot on
• 1:07:11
  top of his left eye that I would say, in the left frontal lobe,
• 1:07:15
  and then he was shot again in the upper right arm. He was
• 1:07:20
  shot. He had the bullet in the in the up here for about,
• 1:07:28
  let's say, up to twelve hours before it was taken out, So that
• 1:07:33
  injury is extensive, and it's the residual effect of that injury is going to
• 1:07:41
  stay with him for quite a while. He's home. But I want to
• 1:07:44
  remind everybody that Ralph is home because he's surrounded by a team of medical professional.
• 1:07:51
  I'm a nurse for almost twenty years. His end is a physical therapy.
• 1:07:57
  His uncle is a medical you know. That's why he's home. So
• 1:08:01
  let's put that into perspective. If it's doing considerably well physically, mornings are
• 1:08:11
  hard, but his spirits are in a good place. I borrow from his
• 1:08:16
  spirits. He is in very good hands. I came out today for support.
• 1:08:35
  Of course, my children graduated from Staley High School and so just hearing
• 1:08:41
  about the news about Ralph, my heart hurts. My heartbreaks, of course,
• 1:08:45
  Uh, the tragedy for our black children and in the community, it's
• 1:08:49
  just heartbreaking. So I came out to support and I really really wanted to
• 1:08:54
  see the students, our students here at Staley High School to activate their social
• 1:09:00
  action and justice and to really just show the world and the community that we
• 1:09:05
  stand for truth, that we stand for righteousness, that we stand for justice,
• 1:09:10
  and we stand together in unity because we want our community to be healed
• 1:09:15
  and we know that God is the ultimate healer in our community, but we
• 1:09:18
  really need to as a nation trust and rely on God to actually heal and
• 1:09:23
  redeem and to save us. So, yeah, trauma is hard, Trauma
• 1:09:39
  is tricky. Trauma comes and goals and you don't really know how to navigate
• 1:09:45
  it unless you have you know, healthy professional adults to actually help you.
• 1:09:48
  So I believe the you know, the march is one step is the first
• 1:09:51
  step, but the first step is actually acknowledging and just realizing like, yeah,
• 1:09:56
  like we are hurting community now and we will forever heard because of this
• 1:10:01
  incidents. But as long as we have people support of our community to actually
• 1:10:06
  help us to heal, I think they'll be okay yah. Just looking at
• 1:10:18
  that, I felt I felt the water cooling in the corner of my eyes
• 1:10:26
  because that's beautiful. How the community, the school, the student came out
• 1:10:33
  and supported as young man Ralph. When I tell you, baby, you
• 1:10:39
  have a puthormal of people out here that love you, that are praying for
• 1:10:44
  you, praying for your family. We're absolutely playing praying for your mental because
• 1:10:49
  I can only imagine what this baby is for Henan says Himanskara Jeule says he
• 1:11:00
  has victimized his whole family and I hate it for every one of them absolutely,
• 1:11:06
  because you have caused a hurt that will never go away. You have
• 1:11:15
  starved not only this young man but his family with a careless decision that you
• 1:11:23
  make because you had a moment. You had a moment to stop and think,
• 1:11:29
  you had a moment to think about what you were doing. So Miss
• 1:11:36
  celester to you, I hope you are convicted and I hope you are punished
• 1:11:43
  to the maximum extent of the law. I want you to sit in that
• 1:11:48
  how the big that jail cell is and I hope it's time true for the
• 1:11:53
  rest of your life. I'm just gonna safe because you so innocently shot this
• 1:12:00
  young man in the heat of the moment, and then you're trying to lie
• 1:12:03
  about it and say, oh, this was I was in fair of my
• 1:12:06
  life. Oh he was trying to open my door. Nor it wasn't.
• 1:12:11
  Nor it wasn't the statement that Ralph cave. I believe that went over what
• 1:12:16
  you told the detect us about what happened. I feel like you should still
• 1:12:19
  be sitting in jail. I feel like your bonds should have been higher than
• 1:12:24
  two hundred thousand dollars. But hey, again, I'm not the law,
• 1:12:27
  but law forbid if I were fee because you would not be out. But
• 1:12:32
  you'll have your day in court, and trust and believe. If you don't
• 1:12:34
  have your day on earth, you definitely gonna have to account and stand up
• 1:12:39
  against God on judgment d Trust me because he sits time and looks blow.
• 1:12:43
  You can't get nothing past him because he sees you, and I promise you
• 1:12:46
  he's gonna punish you for ever pain that you have falls, not only to
• 1:12:49
  this young man but to his family. You're intent, regardless of what you're
• 1:12:56
  say, you were trying to kill this thing because you knew what you were
• 1:13:00
  doing. You had a moment to stop him. Think so you knew what
• 1:13:01
  you would anyway, enough for talking about that demon. But prayers to you.
• 1:13:08
  Ralph from Black Girl Interrupted podcast, I love you, baby, and
• 1:13:12
  everybody hearing and that's tuning in, we love you and we're all praying.
• 1:13:16
  Okay, So now y'all this here. When I tell y'all this story,
• 1:13:26
  Deva stated, this was a sweet sixteen birthday. Now for those that don't
• 1:13:32
  know on this, Okay, So this happened on Saturday, y'all, So
• 1:13:36
  I do apologize that I got the two Star Wars confused. This happened this
• 1:13:41
  past Saturday in Daville, Alabama, which is about an hour and maybe fifteen
• 1:13:45
  minutes away from Montgomery, with a population of about three thousand people. A
• 1:13:50
  young lady was having a sweet sixteen birthday party when a gunfire erupted. Thirty
• 1:13:58
  two people were shot. Four have died in twenty eight or still recovering from
• 1:14:04
  their injuries. Let me see, Kara says it should be attempted murder.
• 1:14:14
  So when I spoke with with people that are in close connection with this,
• 1:14:19
  the charge that they gave him is like attempted murder. It's the highest because
• 1:14:26
  it is punishable by twenty five years to life. As you know, Ralph
• 1:14:30
  Lester is eighty four years old. He's not gonna make let's just say that
• 1:14:36
  he's not gonna make it. He's not gonna last there. So, um,
• 1:14:40
  that's considered attempted murder in the state of Missouri. And again I can
• 1:14:46
  understand why they went that route because simply because you want to try to secure
• 1:14:51
  secure a conviction, you don't want to overcharge. Because we see what happened
• 1:14:56
  in the trade bond Martin k They overcharged George Amment and guess what, George
• 1:15:00
  Zimmerman walked, you know, and he wasn't licensed to do anything. He
• 1:15:05
  was a runt, a top he was top flight security and they told him
• 1:15:09
  to stand down. Somebody was on the way. You decided to take matters
• 1:15:13
  into your own hands. You was getting Trayvon Mark was getting the best to
• 1:15:15
  you and your shot. So yeah, so I'll keep everyone updated as this
• 1:15:25
  progresses. Again, Miss Celesta ghost support tomorrow, so I'll keep supposed with
• 1:15:30
  the update. So this day Bill Alabama shooting, as I was saying,
• 1:15:36
  happens in about an hour and fifteen minutes away from Montgomery, Alabama. A
• 1:15:43
  three sixteen birthday party where gunfire erupted. Thirty two people were shot, four
• 1:15:48
  of which have passed away full tight. For those that do not know the
• 1:15:54
  story, let me go ahead and get your caught up on the story,
• 1:15:57
  and then we're gonna jump into the conversation ah about it. Authorities in Alabama
• 1:16:05
  are still searching for whoever opened fire at a sweet sixteen birthday party over the
• 1:16:10
  weekend. The shooting killed four people and injured thirty two others. It happened
• 1:16:15
  at a dance studio in the setting in the city of Dadville. Officials say
• 1:16:19
  they have strong leads but have not released any details. Omarvia Franca is there
• 1:16:25
  with more on the victims of America's one hundred and sixty second mass shooting so
• 1:16:30
  far this year. I'm broken. My heart is the sorrow is almost unbearable
• 1:16:35
  for Latania Allan. On Saturday, she was chaperoning her daughter Alexis's sweet sixteen
• 1:16:42
  birthday party, had a small dance studio. When shots rang out, it
• 1:16:46
  was just as if they were running Holland Klan here halland in the aftermath,
• 1:16:53
  her eighteen year old son Phil Dowdell was on the ground in a pool of
• 1:16:58
  blood. The high school senior was set to graduate next month. A star
• 1:17:01
  under the Friday night lights, Dowdell was headed to play football on Saturdays for
• 1:17:06
  Jacksonville State, But this Saturday night, number seven became another number, the
• 1:17:12
  latest victim of a mass shooting. With his little sister and mother by his
• 1:17:15
  side, he was trying to say a song, but he can say Nathaniel,
• 1:17:19
  and he stopped breathing. Another high school senior, seventeen year old Sean
• 1:17:25
  Kibia Smith, was also killed, along with nineteen year old Marsiah Collins and
• 1:17:30
  twenty three year old Corbyn Holston, who reports a did not attend the party
• 1:17:33
  but went to check on a younger family member. The community came together at
• 1:17:39
  a vigil last night. De Kuands knew Phil Dowdell since kindergarten. I was
• 1:17:44
  standing right beside. I think he went right into I went absolutely. I
• 1:17:54
  was trying to him out. Alexis says her big brother's final act was to
• 1:18:00
  protect her from the gunfire. You told me your brother grabbed you by the
• 1:18:03
  waist and pushed you down. Did your brother save your life? Yes?
• 1:18:10
  If it wasn't for him, I mean, I don't know. Wow,
• 1:18:13
  beanna if I'll still be standing here today if he wouldn't have saved my life.
• 1:18:19
  The mother, Latania Allen, was also shot twice. She told me
• 1:18:23
  she still has a bullet stuck in her side and in her leg. She
• 1:18:27
  told me she's gonna be fine. Her focus now is on finding the killers
• 1:18:31
  and planning her son's funeral. John Omar, we understand the family told you
• 1:18:36
  there was some incident earlier in the party. Tell us about that. Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  I was talking to Alexis and her mother and they said that there was
• 1:18:45
  rumors swirling in the party that someone may have flashed a gun. Well,
• 1:18:49
  the mother, Latania did what any mother would do. She literally stopped the
• 1:18:54
  party, turned the lights on, quieted the music, and told everyone,
• 1:18:58
  if you are over eighteen, you need to get out. If you're over
• 1:19:00
  eighteen and you have a gun in here, you need to get out.
• 1:19:02
  And then she left the lights on. So of course the kids are looking
• 1:19:05
  around, going, Okay, what's going on? She warned them. But
• 1:19:08
  then things calmed down and things went on their way, and later later on
• 1:19:12
  the night, there was a shooting. Omer tell me about this community.
• 1:19:17
  You know, these these things just wreck entire communities. What's what do we
• 1:19:21
  know about this one? Well, this is Dadeville, Alabama. When you
• 1:19:27
  hear small town, USA, this is what they're talking about. This is
• 1:19:30
  the type of place that on the water tower they put the name of the
• 1:19:32
  high school, home of the Dadville Tigers. I'm looking at it right now.
• 1:19:36
  Happened right behind me here, right here on main Street where you see
• 1:19:40
  these old buildings that have been around since the early nineteen hundreds. It used
• 1:19:44
  to be the old bank. Well, now it's a dance studio where kids
• 1:19:46
  come and take dance lessons and it's also rented out. People here are in
• 1:19:49
  shock. There was a there was a vigil last night. They can't believe
• 1:19:53
  it happened. It happened here. And then talking to some of the kids
• 1:19:56
  who were there, I said, you know, are there guns in this
• 1:19:58
  community. This is not a play where we think, oh no, there's
• 1:20:00
  going to be gun violence. So when this happens it was, it's absolutely
• 1:20:04
  frightening. It makes them think, yeah, it can happen anywhere, and
• 1:20:09
  it did on Saturday night. It seems like there's no here in which it
• 1:20:13
  cannot happen. Almar Via Franca in Dayville, Alabama, Thank you. Lamar.
• 1:20:18
  Thank you. For generations American children and their parents have worried about bullies,
• 1:20:23
  social pressures, and grades. In recent years, gun violence has joined
• 1:20:27
  that list for many people. According to our last CBS poll, three out
• 1:20:31
  of four parents in the US are concerned about possible gun violence at their children's
• 1:20:35
  schools. That number is up slightly from the last time we asked that question
• 1:20:40
  last summer and how to deal with it. More than sixty percent of Americans
• 1:20:44
  are in favor of a nationwide ban on AR fifteen style semi automatic rifles.
• 1:20:48
  It's the type of gun used in the school shootings in Nashville and Ubaldi.
• 1:20:54
  Students and parents took that message to the National Mall in Washington Monday for US
• 1:20:59
  Save our Students gun protests. They are calling on Congress to band assault weapons.
• 1:21:09
  Oh it will go, It go so again. Thank y'all for tuning
• 1:21:15
  in to a Black Girl interrupt the podcast tonight. For those that are just
• 1:21:18
  tuning in, UM, I am addressing the Dayville, Alabama shooting. For
• 1:21:25
  those that don't know, a young lady had a sweet sixteen birthday party in
• 1:21:30
  which thirty two people were shot. Four people have died and the other twenty
• 1:21:34
  eight are recovering from their injury. So we don't give me one second,
• 1:21:44
  okay. So Jules says, there has been one hundred and sixty two mass
• 1:21:48
  shootings this year alone. Jesus, this is heartbreaking. Actualist is that number
• 1:21:54
  has increased. I believe it's one hundred and sixty four now, um,
• 1:21:59
  if you include the shooting in Louisville, Kentucky, and if you add this
• 1:22:06
  birthday party that just passed on Saturday in day Phil, Alabama. Harras says,
• 1:22:13
  that's exactly what I was thinking, Jule. So I'm gonna really try
• 1:22:21
  to hold my emotions in because this here is so devastated. One young man,
• 1:22:32
  two of the students, I'm so sorry. Two of the young men
• 1:22:38
  told let me post their pictures. Let me go back to their pictures.
• 1:22:41
  Give me one second, y'all? Okay? So the young man and the
• 1:22:45
  two men at the top, let me move this banner out of the week.
• 1:22:50
  Give me one second, y'all? Okay. So the two young men
• 1:22:55
  at the top were weeks away from graduation. The young man in the upper
• 1:22:59
  left corner, uh was had been accepted into LSU and was just weeks away
• 1:23:05
  from graduation. The gentleman in the bottom left corner wasn't even at the party.
• 1:23:12
  He went to go check on a family member that had attended the party
• 1:23:15
  and lost his life. Then you have this young lady right here, seventeen
• 1:23:20
  years old, Miss Tiqui, that lost to life. I was trying to
• 1:23:27
  have fun and celebrate her friends. When is enough gonna be enough? Are
• 1:23:40
  we gonna at what point? Let me ask yall this, At what point
• 1:23:45
  are we gonna get tired of this? At what point are we gonna get
• 1:23:47
  tired of reporting these stories? At what point of time are we gonna get
• 1:23:53
  sick and tired of these mass shootings? Something needs to be done again.
• 1:23:59
  We're not safe anywhere now. I remember church used to be the saviors.
• 1:24:03
  But you can't go to church, you can't go to the movie theaters,
• 1:24:08
  you can't knock on somebody's store, you can't go to the grocery store,
• 1:24:13
  you can't go out in march and protests, and then you're not even safe
• 1:24:17
  in your own home without fear of someone coming. We're always what can we
• 1:24:33
  do, y'all? Because I want to see our children grow up. I'm
• 1:24:41
  tired of every time I turn on the news it's a mass shooting. What
• 1:24:46
  was that last week? Week before last, we had the shooting in Louisville,
• 1:24:49
  Kentucky. You can't even tell people that they're fired. You're not safe
• 1:24:56
  at your job. Then we had the school shoot in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 1:25:09
  I remember the Columbine shoot. I remember the shooting in the movie theater when
• 1:25:15
  the Joker was the Batman movie, came out and got dressed up like a
• 1:25:18
  Joker and went into the movie theater and shot those people. I remember standinghood,
• 1:25:29
  these babies whose lives, some haven't even begun, some are just getting
• 1:25:35
  started in so violent, so unjust, and no one's wanting to do anything
• 1:25:47
  about. Well. I feel like there needs to be a band on a
• 1:25:53
  soul rifle, absolutely because what I need to know, and maybe someone could
• 1:25:58
  correctly, what the hell do you need with an AAR fifteen in your house?
• 1:26:01
  What far? What war are you going to fight? Somebody getting me
• 1:26:08
  together, y'all let me know if I'm wrong for feeling that week. But
• 1:26:11
  I don't feel like you need an assault rifle in your home. You're not
• 1:26:14
  going out to the war. Do I believe in the rights to bear arms,
• 1:26:17
  absolutely, but there needs to be some stipulations. There needs to be
• 1:26:24
  strict of gun laws. There needs to be some type of gun control,
• 1:26:28
  because again, this is only April the eighteenth, y'all. We are only
• 1:26:32
  four months and one day into twenty twenty three, and we have had one
• 1:26:35
  hundred and sixty four masks shooting. That's almost a mass shooting every day.
• 1:26:48
  That's almost one or two shootings, a hundred and sixty four. Y'all,
• 1:26:56
  do the mask in four months a hundred and let me repeat this one more
• 1:27:02
  time, in four months, one hundred and sixty four masks. Woman,
• 1:27:13
  I'm definitely afraid to see what the next four months are gonna look like.
• 1:27:20
  We have to get control of it. Congress, you need to do something.
• 1:27:25
  Joe Biden, you and Kamala Harris nap ahead ass y'all need to get
• 1:27:29
  up and y'all need to do something about this because guess what, these children
• 1:27:32
  are no longer being allowed to grow and with this and with the increasing gun
• 1:27:39
  violence, what did I tell y'all it was causing. You're creating an additional
• 1:27:44
  trauma that we have yet to address, and that's mental health. You're creating
• 1:27:53
  bigger issues you haven't even taken care of one, but you're creating another one.
• 1:27:59
  Let me say this, you're not you're escalating another situation, y'all have
• 1:28:03
  you have to get control of. Yeah, so you have these sixteen and
• 1:28:14
  seventeen year old children having a good time at a party. And this is
• 1:28:20
  why I encourage whenever you have a party, you don't even have some type
• 1:28:24
  of security there. But again, this is a little small town and maybe
• 1:28:30
  they didn't expect anything like this to head. But you always have to be
• 1:28:34
  prepared for the inevitable. You have to be when you have parties like this
• 1:28:41
  that are not supervised by security or something like that, like you gotta have.
• 1:28:51
  There were threats report someone say old they had a gun. M Kara
• 1:29:05
  says, our babies are literally not safe anywhere, and they're not. We
• 1:29:12
  can't set them to school for fear. Come with me. Come. You
• 1:29:16
  can't go to the mall, you can't go to the movies, you can't
• 1:29:23
  go to the grocery store, you can't go to church. What the hell
• 1:29:26
  can we go? Where can we go? What's c there's no confidence in
• 1:29:36
  the protection of our children. Are we gonna even get to see our babies
• 1:29:42
  growth? You look back at Sandy hook all those things. Yeah, look
• 1:29:58
  at you vote, the national all these man students. But y'all are more
• 1:30:14
  worried about abortion laws. Y'all are worried about procreation. Y'all are y'all want
• 1:30:25
  to ban abortion, but you don't won't strict the gun control laws. Make
• 1:30:34
  it makes sense to me, America, y'all let me know how that makes
• 1:30:38
  sense to you. You're more concerned with trying to tell a woman what she
• 1:30:41
  can and cannot do with a body. But you're not concerned with protecting the
• 1:30:45
  lives of out our children that could be future congressmen, future president's, future
• 1:30:51
  doctors, lawyers, whatever that are ended and you don't care about that.
• 1:31:00
  You're more focused on who's gay and who's not. You're more focused on,
• 1:31:03
  Hey, you're a woman, but I want to take your right away.
• 1:31:06
  But we've got a bigger issue, America. We've got a bigger issue gun
• 1:31:15
  control. We have a bigger issue. Rule says, I'm sick and tired
• 1:31:24
  of being sick and tired. We're continually office to offering condolences and prayers to
• 1:31:28
  loved ones. This ship has to stop. Absolute Tera says. My husband
• 1:31:33
  is a two time war bet and a hunter. He even says there's no
• 1:31:38
  reason for assault weapon. We are at not war with fellow Americans, especially
• 1:31:43
  not These babies are innocent. Two of these children were getting ready to graduate
• 1:31:51
  and go off to college, but that was snatched a week. Jule says,
• 1:32:00
  it starts at home. It's time for these parents to take control of
• 1:32:03
  the kids at home. Stop being your kid's friend, and be their damn
• 1:32:08
  parents. Let's start there. Enough is enough, And I'm right there with
• 1:32:12
  you, because that's part of the problem, because a lot of parents feel
• 1:32:16
  like there's nothing wrong with their children. The red flags are there, but
• 1:32:19
  the chools to overlook. But then to Julee, I want to double back
• 1:32:26
  on another shooting that happened in Missouri where the parents did try to get home
• 1:32:34
  and you know what, they took the asault weapon from him, but somehow
• 1:32:40
  he managed to get it back, ship back for someone to help her son,
• 1:32:45
  but no one did, and her son went to the school with a
• 1:32:48
  start right being shot until threething. And this was I want to say St.
• 1:32:54
  Louis just a few months ago, maybe six seven months ago. So
• 1:33:00
  what do we do now when the parents do try to step in and try
• 1:33:10
  to take control what do we do then, Jules says exactly. Carol Carrot
• 1:33:19
  says, yes, Jules Carrots, they don't even get me started on a
• 1:33:23
  bush, absolutely because they're bad. I could go on and on about that,
• 1:33:27
  but I want to address this when it comes to gun control. Really,
• 1:33:40
  y'all are more concerned which ship that doesn't even need to be concerned about.
• 1:33:47
  And we've had one hundred and sixty four mass shooting four months into twenty
• 1:34:00
  one hundred and sixty four. That's why in four months, thirty days in
• 1:34:06
  January, twenty eight days in February, so that's fifty eight days right there.
• 1:34:12
  Then you're what March has thirty one days, so that's what eighty six
• 1:34:19
  eighty six days, and then we're only eighteen days into twenty and to eight,
• 1:34:33
  so eighty six plus eighteen that's what one hundred and six. So we've
• 1:34:38
  had more mass shootings than we've had days in this year. Four months in
• 1:34:44
  and we've had one hundred and sixty four mass one hundred and sixty. I'm
• 1:34:56
  gonna play this last video as we wrap up the camp. As we continue
• 1:35:01
  to wrap up the conversation with regards to the data Alabama shooting but keep dropping
• 1:35:06
  in a common what can we do to get this bain. The Nashville shooting
• 1:35:19
  is again raising the issue of gun control and calls for an assault weapons ban
• 1:35:25
  in America. Many Republican lawmakers point to mental health issues as the cause of
• 1:35:30
  the growing violence. Democrats say common sense gun control is needed. It's clear
• 1:35:35
  that a compromise will be difficult to reach. Our John Finolio is live in
• 1:35:40
  the KTL News Center with a look at the all too familiar reaction to mass
• 1:35:45
  shootings like the one in Nashville. John Scher and Mica Whole show a majority
• 1:35:49
  of Americans support federal gun control laws. However, lawmakers remain deadlocked in a
• 1:35:55
  debate that is as familiar as the shootings themselves. Lord, when babies die
• 1:36:05
  at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and
• 1:36:15
  prayers. Senate Chaplain Berry Black delivering a rare and pointed opening prayer Tuesday,
• 1:36:20
  taking aim at lawmakers. Following the nation's latest mass shooting, President Biden again
• 1:36:28
  calling on Congress to pass an assault weapons ban, among other gun reform measures.
• 1:36:32
  There's a moral price to pay for an action, so I again call
• 1:36:35
  on Congress to passes. Saulovans Man passive, the should not be a partisan
• 1:36:41
  issue. It's a common sense issue that to act now. And people say,
• 1:36:45
  why do I keep saying this if we're not happening, Because I want
• 1:36:47
  you to know who isn't doing it, who isn't helping to put pressure on
• 1:36:53
  it. But there appears to be little appetite for change in the Republican controlled
• 1:36:57
  house. In the Senate, at least ten Republican would have to join Democrats
• 1:37:00
  to pass any kind of reform. If he had an assault weapons man,
• 1:37:04
  I wouldn't vote for it, but bring it up if you think that's to
• 1:37:08
  fix a GOP accusing Democrats of trying to politicize the massacre. Tennessee Senator Bill
• 1:37:13
  Haggarty saying this politics in Washington always seizes upon any crisis, and Tennessee Congressman
• 1:37:18
  Tim Burchett telling reporters quote, we're not going to fix it. Criminals will
• 1:37:23
  be criminals, and when asked what else should be done to protect people like
• 1:37:27
  his own young daughter at school, Burchett saying, quote, well, we
• 1:37:30
  homeschool her. That's our decision. Some people don't have that option. Our
• 1:37:34
  thoughts are with the families the victims with the community. We are grateful for
• 1:37:40
  the quick, rapid response of law enforcement, and I think with respect to
• 1:37:45
  any let discussion of legislation, it's premature Democrats blasting Republicans, arguing they care
• 1:37:51
  more about preserving access to assault weapons than protecting children. This is uniquely and
• 1:37:58
  the people of this country have to have them. So was a basic question,
• 1:38:00
  had enough? I mean, this is madness to think that some people
• 1:38:04
  rationalize this as part of the Second Amendment is beyond. The killings must be
• 1:38:11
  stopped, and we know the answer. Me the band on assault Women's survivors
• 1:38:15
  say enough is enough. I have been lobbying in DC since we survived a
• 1:38:21
  mass shooting in July. I have met with over one hundred and thirty lawmakers.
• 1:38:26
  How is this still happening? How are our children still dying? And
• 1:38:30
  why are we failing them? Gun violence is the number one killer of children
• 1:38:33
  and teens. Following last year's massacre at rob Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas
• 1:38:41
  that killed twenty one people, mostly children, lawmakers did pass a modest bill
• 1:38:45
  that improved some background checks and provided billions of dollars for school security and mental
• 1:38:50
  health services, but with a divided Congress, any new movement on gun reform
• 1:38:57
  is unlikely. Shar Micah back to you, John, thank you. Let
• 1:39:03
  me take a deep breath, because let me tell y'all that comment that that
• 1:39:11
  gentleman made when he said, oh, I homeschool my daughter, some people
• 1:39:15
  don't have that option. Then make it accessible for parents to homeschool that children.
• 1:39:21
  But that's not going to contel the problem your homeschool your children didn't want
• 1:39:30
  you think that's gonna automatically stop these mass shootings. Absolutely not. You need
• 1:39:36
  strict the gun control laws. You need stricter laws when it comes to guns.
• 1:39:41
  We definitely need the band on assault rifles, period point blank, because
• 1:39:46
  again, what do you as a civillient need with an assault rifle? Who
• 1:39:50
  in the hell are you going to walk with? That's a million dollar questions.
• 1:39:56
  That's what I want to So says a lot has changed, but one
• 1:40:00
  thing that never changes the fact that the streets has never stopped talking. Someone
• 1:40:04
  has mentioned you that your kid is out there living life, living that life
• 1:40:09
  with you. Just ignore. Yeah, And then two sis, you do
• 1:40:13
  have some parents that do try to be proactive when it comes to this.
• 1:40:16
  Again, you know, just a reference to the young man um that in
• 1:40:20
  Saint Louis, Missouri, that shot three people. Mom reached out to the
• 1:40:26
  police. The assault rifle was taken. Somehow the young man managed to get
• 1:40:32
  this Sassari rifle back and it was legally bought and and when and killed three
• 1:40:39
  people in St. Louis, Missouri. So I just this is my question,
• 1:40:54
  strick the gun law. Will this pretel the problem? And what can
• 1:40:59
  we do to help? I say this on every show when I speak in
• 1:41:03
  regards to this. You gotta get out there. You gotta vote. And
• 1:41:09
  I don't mean just for the president. You gotta get out there and vote.
• 1:41:13
  It starts at the bottom. We have to start from the bottom and
• 1:41:15
  work our way to the top. You have to make some noise. You
• 1:41:19
  have to allow your boys to be heard. If you can stand in line,
• 1:41:24
  and I'm gonna say this all the time, if you can stand in
• 1:41:25
  line and buy iPhone, you can buy Jordans and whatever unnecessary shit. If
• 1:41:30
  you both stand in Walmart and talk in line on Black Priday, you can
• 1:41:32
  go take your ass to somebody's cold and you could vote for things like this.
• 1:41:39
  You could vote for this to be put on the team. Start going
• 1:41:44
  to your town hall meeting, start going to your city council meeting. Start
• 1:41:47
  going to these. I can't and I just my mind just completely went blank.
• 1:41:53
  But start getting out there and going and allowing your boys to be heard.
• 1:41:59
  You have to that the world know that your voice matters. You have
• 1:42:01
  to order you. You're out here protecting the rights of not only you,
• 1:42:04
  but your children. Don't you want to see your children grow up, because
• 1:42:11
  at the rate we're going, we're not gonna see how babies grow up.
• 1:42:17
  We have to become a part of the solution unless of the problem we see.
• 1:42:27
  Sleepy Joe has been begging Congress, we need to get out there and
• 1:42:30
  we need to let allow our voices to be heard. Do I think that
• 1:42:34
  will fultell the problem? Yeah, if we had strict a gun laws,
• 1:42:39
  I think there needs to be background check and sense the background check. I
• 1:42:43
  think anyone that has a record of having any type of mental illness, I
• 1:42:47
  do not believe you should be allowed to have a weapon. I just do
• 1:42:55
  not believe that. I feel like you need to be able to take something.
• 1:43:00
  I can't even think a mental I can't even think of a word,
• 1:43:04
  y'all. My mind is so blanked right now. But I think your mental
• 1:43:10
  Yeah, if you have a history of seizures, I don't feel like you
• 1:43:15
  should be able to have to carry a weapon. They say, if you
• 1:43:18
  have seizures, you're not allowed to drive a car, but you can go
• 1:43:21
  get a gun. Make it make sense to me, y'all, make this
• 1:43:27
  mad add up to me, because again it's not MA consistent. It's making
• 1:43:31
  zero sense to me. Because my children or their children may not grow we
• 1:43:41
  may not get to see them grow. So Kara says, what do other
• 1:43:47
  countries do? This is literally only in America. Other countries protect their kids
• 1:43:51
  at all costs, absolutely what America doesn't care. And then Kara says that
• 1:44:00
  they do get the chance to grow up, they will be riddled with anxiety
• 1:44:03
  and trauma, which, Kara, which brings me to this right here,
• 1:44:09
  as gun violence, Reacher's record levels in the US, and underlying trauma may
• 1:44:13
  be building up again when it comes to mental we haven't even tackle mental health.
• 1:44:18
  We haven't even tackled the increased rate, the suicide rate that is increasing
• 1:44:24
  daily. We haven't even tackled Dad. I just read a story. I
• 1:44:30
  want to say, maybe a week or about two weeks ago, a little
• 1:44:32
  girl in Philadelphia on a killed herself in the bathroom, and she wrote a
• 1:44:39
  letter and told him she was being bullied at eight years old. These children
• 1:44:45
  should not be dealing with this type of trust and trauma. But as we
• 1:44:51
  deal with this gun violence again, one hundred and sixty four mass shooting and
• 1:44:56
  we're only four months, we're only four months and one hundred and sixty four
• 1:45:02
  mash That means that's what two or three a day. But we still have
• 1:45:10
  in tackle mental health. So you can't get like we can't win for loon.
• 1:45:17
  What do we do, y'all? What can we do? Let me
• 1:45:20
  know I'm all on board because I'm gonna do whatever I can to protect my
• 1:45:25
  children, protect your children, protect your children's children. We have to bond
• 1:45:30
  together, We have to Something has to be done. Something has to be
• 1:45:35
  done because you've created one problem and you're escalating and hiding another problem, and
• 1:45:43
  that's mental health that y'all just really just don't seem to give a damn about
• 1:45:50
  its. Y'all don't care your care, y'all a concern, Not y'all as
• 1:45:54
  the people. But I'm seeing the Congress and these elected officials you care more
• 1:45:59
  about a woman's productive, reproductive organs. And let's about saving the lives of
• 1:46:04
  these ships who are few to doctor, lawyer, president, surgeon, astronauts,
• 1:46:15
  business. You don't know. But if y'all don't do something about it,
• 1:46:24
  we're never gonna get a chance to see. And that's the moment that's
• 1:46:30
  hardened part with all of it again, where are we seeing? Where are
• 1:46:39
  we seeing? Let me take a deep breath on that. Let me take
• 1:46:49
  a deep breath on that one, because y'all, let me just go into
• 1:46:56
  my final thought because if I sit here too deep and thought, I'm gonna
• 1:46:59
  get too emotional and I'm gonna start crying. And I don't want to start
• 1:47:01
  crying because I want to end this on a happy note. So as I
• 1:47:05
  going to my final thoughts, but tonight, I want to first say I
• 1:47:12
  love y'all, and whatever it is that you're going through, I pray that
• 1:47:16
  it gets better. I pray that you are able to come out of your
• 1:47:19
  sport. I want to say that first and formal. Secondly, I want
• 1:47:27
  to send an abonnus of prayers who the victims whose lives were lost in Diesel,
• 1:47:32
  Alabama. I want to send my thoughts and prayers to the family of
• 1:47:38
  Rock Girl. I want to send my thoughts and prays to the family of
• 1:47:43
  the lost loved ones in Louisville, Kentucky. I want to absolutely send my
• 1:47:47
  love and prayers and condolences to the city of Nashville. You'r Valdy Coelum buying
• 1:47:54
  standing hook. When is this? I asked you to take a stance and
• 1:48:08
  protect your children, protect our few, protect the next generation because they may
• 1:48:15
  not live long enough to create another generation. Where are we ever going to
• 1:48:25
  be? Every day we see and we hear this on the news. Every
• 1:48:31
  day we're offering prayers and condolences. Yeah, but these keeps happening on your
• 1:48:45
  clock. Congress, ban us all right, because we don't need them.
• 1:48:53
  No one's going to war, no one's going to fight in a war.
• 1:48:59
  I need some money. Let me say this. The money that y'all are
• 1:49:01
  sending to the Ukraine, you need to put that over here in the United
• 1:49:04
  States. You need to put that towards mental health because these children are definitely
• 1:49:11
  gonna need You're paying for a war that doesn't even involve You need to first
• 1:49:19
  take care of home before you go, and you take care of someone else
• 1:49:26
  I prayed that before I leave this world that there's some type of resolution.
• 1:49:35
  I pray for my children, and I prayed that my grandchildren or great grandchildren,
• 1:49:41
  great great great grandchild. I pray that my children are allowed to group.
• 1:49:46
  I pray that judge children are allowed to group. I pray that your
• 1:49:51
  children will be able to enjoy being children and not have to be on edge
• 1:49:57
  every time they go to the movies, every time they go to a birth,
• 1:50:00
  if they party, whenever they go to the mall. He'll even being
• 1:50:01
  scared to go to school. It's traumatizing enough that you got to deal with
• 1:50:06
  bullying and all the people on social media. But now you gotta be on
• 1:50:13
  high alert and pray that no one comes and shoots up. You gotta stay
• 1:50:16
  on high alert and pray that no one shoots up the next birthday. Fall
• 1:50:24
  children is too young for the strust, and they don't deserve. So let's
• 1:50:29
  keep praying for the lines that were lost in these hundred and in these hundred
• 1:50:34
  and sixty for man shooting, and let's pray for some type of peace from
• 1:50:41
  today going. And those are my final coasts using that. Yes, Oh
• 1:50:48
  God, y'all soul, let me just give you a quick glimpse of upcoming
• 1:50:55
  episodes for Black Girl Interrupted. So, yes, tonight we were supposed to
• 1:51:00
  talk about women and you're selfish ways in these relationships, but it was on
• 1:51:03
  my heart that I had to discuss the shooting a Rod y'all, as well
• 1:51:10
  as the Dad Alabama shooting at the sweet sixteen birthday part. But I promise
• 1:51:15
  you this Thursday, we are talking about relationships. Unless something else pops up
• 1:51:19
  that I feel like it's a party, then I can push the relationship conversation
• 1:51:24
  back to a whole nother day. But um, this coming Thursday, APM
• 1:51:28
  Central time, nape and he sometimes we're gonna be talking about women. Why
• 1:51:31
  do you keep running away good men with your selfishness? Like you need to
• 1:51:34
  stop. This is why after y'all gonna end up single, baby, because
• 1:51:39
  you know what y'all cuts up with these men? Uh Baby, y'all,
• 1:51:43
  y'all need to stop. Like you keep saying you want a good man,
• 1:51:46
  but when you're good a good man, you keep running them over. And
• 1:51:49
  I can only attest for me because baby, let mena saying you something.
• 1:51:51
  I almost ran my fiance all but guess what he'd be sticking it out with
• 1:51:57
  your girls. He'd be ready to put me in a trophe. But hey,
• 1:52:00
  he's sticks beside me, and he you know, he works with me.
• 1:52:03
  He understands I'm feel a little rough around the edges. But guess what,
• 1:52:06
  I think that's what he loves to move about me, even though I
• 1:52:10
  know he's not. And he'll watch later. But I love you, honey,
• 1:52:13
  and I appreciate you. But that's what we're talking about. Thursday,
• 1:52:15
  We're gonna be talking about relationships like that's what we're jumping into, like man
• 1:52:21
  like, this is a much needed conversation when it's with regards to relationship.
• 1:52:29
  Harris says, as a teacher, I was scared to death of school shooting.
• 1:52:32
  I had my own plan of protecting the kids that administration did not agree
• 1:52:36
  with. When a six year old can bring a gun to school, no
• 1:52:39
  one to stay. Do you hit me? And that takes me back to
• 1:52:43
  the young boy that that intentionally shot to teach and no charges of being fought
• 1:52:48
  against the child. Oh, nothing's being so. Robert says, was nice

• 1:55:59
  to do it. Um, So let me respond to a couple of more
• 1:56:01
  comments and then I'm gonna bring this to a closed baby. Oh, my
• 1:56:09
  sister says, I'm gonna put you in a choke She said, I'm gonna
• 1:56:11
  put you in a chokehold if you keep playing with my brother I Lloyd,
• 1:56:14
  Girl, I know it. I'm trying. He just he just like he
• 1:56:19
  begetting me together, y'all. He be getting me together. Baby. My
• 1:56:23
  sister gave a boot tooo hard shout out to my baby tone and let me
• 1:56:26
  tell y'all, y'all need to connect with us. Let me tell y'all that
• 1:56:30
  that you're you rough baby, and I love it, but I love it.
• 1:56:33
  I love it, I love it, I love it. Rose.
• 1:56:36
  The panel is a relationship panel, so um, it's gonna be a discussion
• 1:56:42
  amongst men and women. You know, we as women, we're gonna sit
• 1:56:45
  and we're gonna listen to what men liking don't like that we're doing relationships and
• 1:56:48
  we have to respect that. And you know, with the men, we're
• 1:56:51
  gonna be talking and letting them know what we like and what we don't like
• 1:56:55
  in relationships and the things that we need to do better to fix relationships.
• 1:57:00
  You know, communication is key. Uh, we have to start learning how
• 1:57:03
  to fight fair because a lot of us don't know how to fight. When
• 1:57:06
  it comes to relationships. You always want to hit below the belt because guess
• 1:57:10
  what, I want you to heard the same way I heard. And at
• 1:57:14
  the same time, you can't keep asking for a good partner if you keep
• 1:57:18
  putting out talk beginning okay, okay, you can't keep hitting him, punching
• 1:57:26
  your man in the gut when he's down and then get upset when he's not
• 1:57:29
  talking to Okay, ladies and you fellas, you have to stop putting your
• 1:57:33
  woman down. You have to learn her love language. You have to stop
• 1:57:36
  trying to be so quick to throw in the town when you're not understanding her
• 1:57:42
  love name. So that's what the panel is gonna be about miscarriage. It's
• 1:57:45
  gonna get a little pen because this is actually gonna be a I think we
• 1:57:51
  decided on like a six day panel because we're gonna do two days for women
• 1:57:59
  to talk, and then we're gonna have two days for the men to talk,
• 1:58:01
  and then we're gonna do another two days on where we bring the children
• 1:58:05
  in because we want the children. We wanted to understand when it comes to
• 1:58:09
  the children, because our relationships affect our children because our children are watching,
• 1:58:14
  you know. So we have to create health and boundaries when it comes to
• 1:58:16
  relationships. We have to know when it's time to walk away because we know
• 1:58:20
  pool that has always fulbeled. So that's where we're gonna be talking about.
• 1:58:25
  Um, I'm all here for shaking a table, baby, because let's you
• 1:58:30
  know, some of your women, m y'all don't want to take accountability baby,
• 1:58:34
  y'all be trying to blame the man when really sometimes we need to look
• 1:58:38
  in the miracle. They're really sometimes feed you because you're not here, y'all
• 1:58:42
  keep saying, or we're seeing you because we're not dealing with no bullshit.
• 1:58:45
  No you haven't for the heal. Then you want that man to carry your
• 1:58:47
  bullshit for you, and he's not doing it. So we're addressing that and
• 1:58:51
  vice versa. Then y'all need the heel too, because guess what, we're
• 1:58:57
  not tolerating the bullshit Sarie and that's on. Never had a no laugh because
• 1:59:02
  we're gonna where the money reside. So Robert says, email us done.
• 1:59:06
  Tony's laughing at me and she's talking about yea, so on that. No,
• 1:59:12
