- 0:32Speaker 1: The fact that we still have to say allegedly in
- 0:35Speaker 1: situations like this lets me know how much we are
- 0:37Speaker 1: not really evolving as a people on any levels. See
- 0:39Speaker 1: when you go on a shooting rampage on a live
- 0:42Speaker 1: screen for the world to see, in folks witnessing like,

- 0:49Speaker 1: Let's go to ABC News for the report. Please. This morning,
- 0:52Speaker 1: a suspect in custody after a deadly shooting spree in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Nineteen year old Ezekiel Kelly is accused of driving around
- 1:00Speaker 1: the city shooting and killing four people, wounding three others,
- 1:03Speaker 1: all while streaming the violence on Facebook Live. In a

- 1:10Speaker 1: seen walking into an auto parts store and opening fire,
- 1:14Speaker 1: police saying the spree lasted more than two hours, spanning
- 1:18Speaker 1: eight different crime scenes. Police say Kelly later stool a
- 1:21Speaker 1: car at gunpoint, officers eventually locating the vehicle, leading to
- 1:25Speaker 1: a high speed pursuit where Kelly was eventually arrested, but
- 1:29Speaker 1: the massive manhunt paralyzing Memphis into the evening, residents urged
- 1:34Speaker 1: to stay home, the city in shock. This is no
- 1:38Speaker 1: way for us to live and it is not acceptable. Oh.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It is a great book that came out of twenty
- 1:49Speaker 1: ten by Nicholas car just recently read it. It's called
- 1:51Speaker 1: The Shallows What the Internet is doing to our brains.
- 1:54Speaker 1: And by the time we figure out what the Internet
- 1:55Speaker 1: is doing and has done our brains, it will be
- 1:57Speaker 1: too late, because I think we too far gone when
- 2:00Speaker 1: this kid was nineteen. So you're just dealing with you, Okay,
- 2:02Speaker 1: that's number one. Do you know the stupid things that
- 2:05Speaker 1: I was doing and getting into when I was nineteen.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Think about what type of knucklehead things you were doing
- 2:08Speaker 1: when you were in nineteen. Then you factor in whatever
- 2:11Speaker 1: socioeconomic status he came from and what he's been around
- 2:14Speaker 1: his whole life. Those brothers that come from nothing usually
- 2:16Speaker 1: feel like they are nothing. And the nineteen year old
- 2:19Speaker 1: who feels like he has nothing also feels like he
- 2:21Speaker 1: has nothing to lose, and that leads us to situations
- 2:24Speaker 1: like this. And let's not factor in drug use and
- 2:26Speaker 1: mental health issues and the devil damn Internet. Okay, the
- 2:30Speaker 1: internet is the only place a human like Ezekiel Kelly
- 2:33Speaker 1: can feel seen. I'm telling you, these brothers have no
- 2:35Speaker 1: sense to worth and it's no love for their self,
- 2:37Speaker 1: so you think they could ever have love for you?
- 2:38Speaker 1: That's why, That's why they can just pull out a
- 2:40Speaker 1: gun and kill you like this, Because hurt people hurt
- 2:42Speaker 1: people now. Earlier Envy, you said they need to fix
- 2:45Speaker 1: the system, correct, I would say that the system isn't broken, Okay,
- 2:49Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I would say that you know
- 2:51Speaker 1: people with Some people would say the system fail is
- 2:53Speaker 1: Zequel Kelly. I would say it didn't fail them at all.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I don't think fail is the right term, because the
- 2:58Speaker 1: system didn't fail Ezekiel Kelly. It was designed to currently
- 3:02Speaker 1: keep Kelly exactly where he is. Okay, See, Ezekiel was
- 3:05Speaker 1: only nineteen, but when he was seventeen, he faced four
- 3:08Speaker 1: felony charges, including two counts of attempted murder, one counter
- 3:11Speaker 1: reckless endangerment, and one count of possession of a firearm. Okay,
- 3:14Speaker 1: this was twenty twenty, he was seventeen years old. He
- 3:16Speaker 1: played guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault, was
- 3:19Speaker 1: sentenced to three years, and did eleven months of that
- 3:21Speaker 1: three years. I would like to know what did the
- 3:24Speaker 1: prison system do for him those eleven months he was
- 3:26Speaker 1: in there. We know the answer to that, not a
- 3:29Speaker 1: damn thing. Okay. We call these prisons correctional facilities, but
- 3:32Speaker 1: what are they actually correcting? This young man should have
- 3:34Speaker 1: received in prison, but he clearly wasn't receiving on the outside.
- 3:38Speaker 1: And that's simply opportunity. Okay. What did the mental health
- 3:41Speaker 1: services look like in prison? All right? This man should
- 3:44Speaker 1: have been seeing a psychiatrist all the time. Get him
- 3:46Speaker 1: some counseling, get him a spiritual leader in prison, Let
- 3:49Speaker 1: him learn a trade in prison. Okay, received some type
- 3:51Speaker 1: of certification in prison, so when he comes home he
- 3:54Speaker 1: can get a job and provide for himself. Okay. It
- 3:57Speaker 1: makes zero sense to have a young man at seventeen
- 3:59Speaker 1: in prison for all these violent crimes and let him
- 4:01Speaker 1: out after eleven months but absolutely no rehabilitation at all.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Prison just makes you more of a savage. Okay, you're
- 4:08Speaker 1: just trying to survive at seventeen. In prison, you become
- 4:11Speaker 1: more of a monster. And this system knows that. They
- 4:14Speaker 1: know that if they put this young man right back
- 4:16Speaker 1: in the street with absolutely nothing, no skill set, no
- 4:19Speaker 1: new mindset, he never had no home training to begin with,
- 4:22Speaker 1: his chances of coming back for an even longer stay
- 4:25Speaker 1: are very very high. And they love that. You know
- 4:29Speaker 1: why they loved that, because we all know that incarceration
- 4:33Speaker 1: is big business and the bodies of prisoners are commodities. Okay,
- 4:38Speaker 1: prisoners supposed to be about rehabilitation, but the system isn't
- 4:41Speaker 1: going to do that for you. Most of the brothers
- 4:43Speaker 1: and sisters I know who rehabilitated in prison, they did
- 4:46Speaker 1: that on their own. Okay. They did that by tearing
- 4:48Speaker 1: up the library, reading every book in there, all right,
- 4:50Speaker 1: They did that by turning the God, they did that
- 4:52Speaker 1: by writing, they made the choice to use their time wisely.
- 4:56Speaker 1: There is absolutely nothing in the prison syst And then
- 4:59Speaker 1: it's gonna I help someone like Ezekiel, okay. And when
- 5:02Speaker 1: you put someone like him back on the street, then
- 5:05Speaker 1: he has a platform to be seen and heard by
- 5:08Speaker 1: a mass majority of people for once in his life.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Oh my god, you think he's not gonna project that
- 5:14Speaker 1: pain and hurt all over said platform? And this is
- 5:18Speaker 1: why so much the battery goals digital. And I don't
- 5:22Speaker 1: have any answers. Okay. The reason I don't have any
- 5:25Speaker 1: answers is because I know this system is designed to
- 5:27Speaker 1: do exactly what it's doing. And we are too far gone.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You're gone too far to turn back. Now things are
- 5:35Speaker 1: only going to get worse. So if you know what
- 5:37Speaker 1: I know, you better let go and let God because
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't have any other bright ideas. Okay, okay, please
- 5:44Speaker 1: let remy ma give Ezekiel Kelly the biggest he had.
- 5:48Speaker 1: He ha he ha, You stupid? Are you dumb? I
- 5:52Speaker 1: don't have any I don't have any ideas, don't know
- 5:55Speaker 1: what to do? All right to you? Nah donkey, Today
