  Speaker 6: today two lovely people, a king and a queen that's
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: coming in to speak to us about the plight of
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: their son. He had got into a situation in mith
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Lothian to where he was actually aggressed upon, and there's
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: video evidence out there. This is back in July of
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: this year, and we're gonna have them speak on this, uh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: this situation, because it is a travesty in my in
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: my mind, in my opinion based on what I know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: But I'm going to have them come and give us
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: a brief synopsis of exactly what happened so we can
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: get into the weeds of this situation. And I want
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: to let you guys and introduce you to mister and
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: missus theos. Go ahead.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Uh, it's good evening, Mark Jessica, and we are the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: parents of Christopher, and just kind of a little brief
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: synopsis of what happened back in July, our son, Christopher
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and three of his friends went up to the Lowthing
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Community Park maybe about maybe about five five minutes from
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the house. All the kids in the Low they go
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: up their line. So him and the friends went up
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: there just go out there for you just you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: do a kid who has a good time and whatnot.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: When they were approached by another group of kids who don't.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Actually live within Midlow.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: They live about thirty minutes away different surrounding little cities around,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: but still within Ellis County. So they approached him and
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: his group of friends said that they wanted to speak
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: with him about It wasn't even originally approach to my
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: son specifically, It was approached to one of his friends
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and they, you know, they s told him they wanted
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to have a conversation about something. And because they come
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: up to another area of the park, so they went
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: over there thinking that ain't we're just gonna you know, talk,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and at that point they were aggressed upon, well the
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: one friend was aggressed upon, and there was a little
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you know, altercation that was ended. And then there was
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a female in the video that you'll see she approached
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: son and starts yelling at him, calling him the N words,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: spitting on him, and you can see in the video
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: her friends are pulling her back, telling her to stop
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: trying to keep her from you know, putting hands on
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: my son, and with throughout the video on my son
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: instead of walking around her, trying to walk away and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: trying to get away from her. And then at some
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: point she's able to break free of the grasp of
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: her friend, in which she lunges at my son with
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: her hand out of it, you know, attempting to strike him,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and basically, you know, he was just a little bit faster,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: whether it be reflexes or whatnot, and he.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Opened palms just you know, light slap across her face
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: one time.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Mind you, this is already after she had already spit
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: on him, called him the N word a whole bunch
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: of times, so you know, she had already assaulted him.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And then at that point, after that slap, her boyfriend
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: and several of his friends that were with him, both
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: male and female, all in a mob attack.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: They all, you know, aggressed upon my son.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: With which he defended himself using a using a knife.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And the individual that he did end up stabbing turned
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: out to be the son of the Ellis County Sheriff's deputy.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So that kind of adds a whole another layer to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: all this situation in terms of whether it's going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: be how it's going to be tried, and then just
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: some of the things that we've already seen already. Immediately
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: after this situation took place, we started to receive death threats,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: people posting our address on various social media sides pictures
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: of our house saying it would be ashamed of something happened.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: We were informed that there was a group chat group
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: chat with about fifty one people that wanted to cause harm.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: To our family.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So that kind of, you know, that added to that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: as well, and then just somewhat the lack of concern
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: as well from the middle then police department as well.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: You know, you know I told him that, you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: we were receiving death threats, and he just either when
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the officers, the officer said kind of chuckle and said
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I heard about that, and then kind of walked off.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And then even after I.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Had told him via text, because he didn't give the detective,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he was a lead detective, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: he presented himself as a lead detective. He gave me
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: his card and told me to text him a call,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and you know, if we received one.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I did didn't hear anything back two weeks later.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Two weeks later, mind, you know, texting that my family's
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: receiving you know, continue to received threats.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: To our lives and whatnot.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of you knows what happened. They did
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: charge christmal two counts of aggravated assault and one kind.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Of assault class.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Okay, so I remember when the video was released by
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: the media, and you can clearly see during that moment,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Christopher was in a constant retreat. I think I remember
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: as soon as I saw it come on and you
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: can hear the N word being being used by the
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: young lady. You can see the other young lady holding
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: her back she breaks that grass. But I know I
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: remember seeing Christopher retreating the entire time. When she swung
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: at him. He retreated. When the boyfriend and the other
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: friends start coming at him swinging, he was retreating and
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: you can see him then pull out the knife, which
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: let's just get everybody clear. In the state of Texas,
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: anything under five point five inches as far as a blade,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: they consider it as a tool. I mean, anyone can
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: carry one in the state of Texas. It's legal to
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: have it. So that mean youa toddler all the way
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: to Grandpa can have a poker or a knife at
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: that size, So it wasn't anything illegal for Christopher to
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: have in this instance. He was retreating the entire time
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: when he stabbed the young man or swiped at the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: young man and the others, because I think he was
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: just really trying to flee for his life at that
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: point time. You can hear the people saying, oh, he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: been stabbed, but you can still see them aggressing up
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: on him even though he was still retreating, even with
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: the knife. So in my mind, under our defense laws
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: here in the state of Texas, he doesn't have a
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: duty to retreat at all none. But he did that anyway.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: He still gave them grace to get away from them,
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: and they still aggressed upon him. They still assaulted him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: And what I found is once I did hear of
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: this case again, because I heard of it initially and
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: then I saw someone talking about it on TikTok. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: at that point I decided to put in the four
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: request myself, and I put in the four requests to
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: the City of mith Lothian because I figured this happened
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: at at an actual park, so they have cameras. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: I asked them for their cameras, and they came back
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and told me there was nothing responsive to my request.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: So then I had someone that I know that lived
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: down there go and look at the park and they said,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: there indeed are cameras, and so they I emailed them
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: again and said, hey, I know you have cameras. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: need those camera angles. I then got a letter from
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: them stating that they were taking it to the Attorney
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: General's office to see if I can obtain those cameras.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: So we went from not having cameras to now having
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: to go to the AG's office. I also put in
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: the four requests Ellis County as well, and then also
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: to the police department. I think they just lowered it up.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: I only remember getting a response from them. I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: remember someone got a law firm. I forget which one
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: it was, but they said they were going to the
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: AG's office. So what I did understand from that is
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: that since this young man is the son of one
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: of the Ellis County Sheriff's officers, then they're trying to
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: protect that and they're trying to protect them, and so
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I just believe at this point we have to put
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: pressure on Ellis County to release the information one of
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: that officers so we can see we kind of disphene
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: their records he got, but then to make that connection
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: so we understand exactly what is going on. We know
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: what's going on, but you have a paper trailer going on,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: and I just feel that they are trying to protect
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: the real crime, and the real crime is that that
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: group of individuals, those thugs and that's me speaking, decided
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: to aggress upon Christopher that day and his friends for
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: whatever reason. The reason is really not that important. But
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: when you follow someone and you continue to follow them
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: and you aggress upon them, and they're trying to say
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: no and retreating and you still aggress and then they
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: defend themselves, that is not a crime. And so for
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: that reason, I want to know, without you getting any
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: into any specifics and to the actual case and defense
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: of the case, what was the district attorneys conversation when
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: they were at arraignment and at pre trial or any
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: kind of motions that they had. Were they matter of
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: fact about these two council charges charging them with or
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: were they just kind of methodical that, hey, we charged
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: them with this, this and this.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So he actually hasn't had any any to try or anything.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: He had he had the court a court day he
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: did go, but DA was the DA didn't even show up.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe the system was there or whatnot. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: that was rescheduled to the twenty third January. So as
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: of right now, he formally hasn't seen any you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: any you know, any at any really corporate seedings. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: just to speak on the fact that they are trying
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to protect, you know, in the fact that he is
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the son of a shared else kind of shriffs, you know, Deputy.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: That was kind of evident in the very beginning, just
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: with the simple fact that bond was the bond started,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the bonding was three and fifty five off the job.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Just the way, just the way things have been trying
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: to you know, just the way things have been trying
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: to move.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: They weren't showing. So when he wasn't ddty, we never
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: found out.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: He never knew that he was indety. They weren't really
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: communicating what's going on. Everything's kind of just under the
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: table kind of moving, you know what I'm saying, No
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: real communication as to what's going on. So, you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: just in the signal, just the way, you know, just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the way everything's kind of being handled, just in the signal,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: just the fact that he was the only one charge.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody else's charged with anything.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I think that that was the main strange
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: thing to me looking at the video, knowing that they
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: had the media coverage that they had, because the media
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: played that video immily, and they had disortations about the video,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: and you can clearly see and as the media reporter
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: was saying, is that you can see them aggressing up
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: on this young man, and you can see him immediately
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: trying to defend himself as it got to the end.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Outside of that, he was leaving and trying to get
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: away the whole time. And so based on just that
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: reporting alone, it troubles a person just looking at it
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: to say, hey, how do we get to the point
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: of charging him, How do we get to the point
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: of charging him when we see five or six people
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: aggressing upon him. You see one lady being kept back
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: and she breaks loose just to go get him. But
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: he's the one being charged. And so that is kind
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: of the reasoning for taking these stands on the media platforms,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: because we do have to get people involved, outside of
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: your family and outside of your legal team, to be
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: able to put pressure on Ellis County, on the DA's office,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: on the City of mid Lothian, on all those people
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: to do the right thing, and the right thing here
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: is to dismiss these charges and then charge the people
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: that that assaulted Christopher that day because they assaulted him.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: They they they charged him. They kept him from leaving
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: because they kept surrounding him and they assaulted him, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: so those should be the proper charges. How is Christopher
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: doing these days? Is he holding up pretty well?
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, given everything that's going on, I'm be lying.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I said my son was doing good. He's been struggling emotionally,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: dealing with depression, not leaving his room, just over overly
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: heightened with certain things like my son, my son is
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: legitimately struggling right now. We have gotten therapy because you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: so to help him through this. But you know, at
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, I watched my son.
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: Wait, you know, he lost a lot of weight. He's
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: struggling at the moment. He had a few meltdowns, So
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: were just pouring life into him and trying to keep
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: him encourage. We visit some trade schools and to keep
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: him busy because he did graduate it. He's done with school,
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: he's looking for work.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Well, look iffy on how.
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: That will play out for him and most definitely him Lothian.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So we you know, just get in the face and
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: people know who he is. Definitely can't work love and
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: regardless of where it works, is always still the chance
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: that somebody may recognize.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: Always friends are enjoying their senior years and the guys
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: that attacked my son is also and you know, so
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: my son gets to that. Meanwhile, he don't participate in
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: any of it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I think I remember hearing about the bond situation.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I know you said that they had a high bond.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: You guys were able to get that reduced down some
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: and you weren't able to get down.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So the bonds three and we played.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it was. And so we had to
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: pay them that and so they didn't reduce anything. We
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: knew we had to get our son that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so given given, given, given the father's connection to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: law enforcement, and just I mean stuff like this has
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: happened before. I wasn't about to risk, you know, halving
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: my son being a place where I couldn't be there.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: We couldn't be there, and somebody wanted to do something
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to what they could. Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I just I'm troubled by just the willingness
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: of these organizations in the state of Texas because it
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: seems to be something that's not just hater to just
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: one moment. It seems to be a connection in the
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: state of this type of behavior and so and it
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: seems to always affect our young men and our young women,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: and so we definitely have to step up and stand
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: up for you guys. I also know that you guys
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: have a go fundme set up a Gifts God Gifts
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: and go and so we want to make sure that
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: you guys give that out to everyone so that way
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: they could help and contribute for the different things, because
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: we know that this gets expensive with lawyer fees, with
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: counseling and therapy, just with everyday expenses, because you can't
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: do things differently. As you said, you guys, we get
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: death threats and different things that nature. So you have
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: to kind of redo and reboot your life and it
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: can be very expensive, and so we want to make
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: sure we give that information out. Could you give them
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: the gifts and go information.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was actually playing on the bottom of the screen,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: but it seems to go to w ww gifts dot
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: com and if you just put in you can put
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: in Christophernien heist or justice for with the letter with
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the number four Chris, and you should be able to
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: find it will have our family picture on. We all
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: have redstrats on.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Most definitely, most definitely we need to make sure we
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: uh get that out so that way people can help
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: because this can get expensive. It can get expensive. We
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: are praying that somehow this thing breaks that we get
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: the proper information because we do have some some four
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: requests in and I'm going to be working to try
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: to get that information that I requested because I requested bodycam,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: I requested the the camera footage from the actual recenter itself.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I requested all of the information. Really, some of the
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: smaller information you think they would give you, like the
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: rest records, the bookend sheet. They wouldn't give me any
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: of that stuff. They said it straight to the AG's
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: office to cover it up because they know it's a
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: lot of flaws in it. They know that it's a
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: lot of things that they had to add and do
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: things because He should have never been charged that day.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: He should have never been charged. He should have never
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: this case never went forward at the least, or at
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: the most, I would say they should have referred this
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: to the grand jury at the most, but instead they charged.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: And it seems like that is a common denominator in
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: this case and the prima Anthee case and some of
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the other cases here with Christopher, even with Tristan Weekly's case,
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: the young man that someone tried to deduct in the school,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: they did the same thing. They're covering up the initial
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: paperwork to show their work and so people can't see that,
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: and if you get it, then they try to cover
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: up the videos, try to cover up this. And so
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: we're just gonna have to work hard. And the only
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: way we can work hard is getting it out to
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: the public, getting it out to the community so people
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: can work with us and work with you and make
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: sure that you, guys, are not alone. And that's the
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: most important thing, is to make sure you're not alone
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: in this. So people that have a little bit more
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: war with all than we do can force these people
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: to get that information out and hopefully force them to
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: dismiss this case, and then hopefully you guys can go
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: out and get Christopher to press charges against each one
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: of those people because they did assault him, and no
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: one's addressing that because he has that trauma that he
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: has to deal with of being aggressed upon that day.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Because you can see the fear in his face, you
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: can see the fear in his body and the way
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: that he was reacting, but you can also see he
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: was trying to protect himself and trying to fight for
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: his life as well. But he gave them grace to
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: retreat and they didn't give him grace at all. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: so we have to always make sure that we focus
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: in on that. What are some things that you guys
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: want to give out to the public that you guys
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: think from the bottom of your heart that they need
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: to know.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: One thing that I definitely want to touch on is
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: the arrest Affidavid.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: That was that was It's been flowing around that whole
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: entire arrest Affidavid is solely It's solely.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Information given by people that were either on the on
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: the you know, friends of the individual that got stabbed,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: or bystanders that may have been in the park, whether
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: or not their information is accurate, whether they spoke to
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: those kids, and that's what they got their information from
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and presented it. It was never none of that information
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: was ever given by Christopher or anybody that was with him.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: There's so many inconsistencies in that, in that in that
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: arrest Affidavid that they use to serve the search one.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: But that's just something that really needs to be put
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: out there because a lot of these people are reading
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: that arrest Abbi David and taking that exactly.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: For for for the word, that's what it is.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: And that that's the truth, and that's what happened, But
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: that's not what happened that even. Yeah, So that's just
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: that's just something that people definitely need to know.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I won't know if you have anything that's such a thing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: So that's that's one big thing for sure.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And that also that we this isn't like the first
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: time our kids have been attacked by a group of
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: white kids out of this happened, This happened when we
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: first moved here.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: This isn't the first.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: This isn't the first incident of racial stuff we've had.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Happened to us.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: This is the first incident of targeted things, whether it
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: be issues with the midloathing police Department of Unfair Treatment
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: issues with the Midloathing Independent School District with unfair treatment.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: This isn't this isn't just the isolated event. This is
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: just kind of the icing on the cake of a
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff that happened. We were already in the
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: process of trying to move Midlot, leave Midloathing because we
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: had already started to realize the culture of Midloathing and
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: what it is. And to speak on other incidents, we're
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: not the only ones that had had situations after the
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: situation happened with Chris. There was a family whose house
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: you can see a guy run up there, Porsche gasoline
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: all on their porch, along their like along.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The front of their house, lights and on fire, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you can clearly clear he has a massing but you
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: can clearly see them.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: It's big enough where you can see that this is
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a Caucasian gentleman.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Middloading Police department doesn't know anything.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: All these people at doorbell camera suddenly nobody can find
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: this guy they had and I actually went over and spoke,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: you know, I kind of actually developed a relationship with
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: the family.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it is another black family. We kind
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: of developed a little.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Relationship, a little bit of a report, and you know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: he kind of updated me on We talk about things,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: and he kind of updated me on his stuff that
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: was going on with him, on me that the midl
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Ofthe police Department came to his house, inside.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: His house and had the nerve to ask him, do
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you think maybe your wife is cheating on you and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: maybe her lover did it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: They were going out of their way, out of their
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: way to convince him that it wasn't a white guy,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: that maybe one of your daughter's baby daddy's did it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: These are the things that they were saying that they
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: were saying to this.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: Man to try to or they was looking for our house. Yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: just just it was they said a lot of crazy.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: There's another family that had.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I think this was like twenty twenty three, maybe had
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: like schwashed the cubs go back to Africa, spread painting
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: in her house.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: School school board member.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Wearing black face, but refused to recuse herself from the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: school board despite community members protesting her still being a member.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Of the board.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Just my kids have never been called the N word
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: ever until we moved out here. And it's it's a
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: consistent thing and the thing that I've said before in
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: another interviews, historically, prior to you know, prior to maybe
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty, really Midlothian has always been a predominantly Caucasuan
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Caucasian in town, right.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: With the past maybe six seven years, ten years, there's
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: been a large influx of African American people moving out here,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: and there's been a lot of clashing.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Back and forth, you know, people who and even.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: In the comments with Chris when in like the Facebook
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: comments in Ellis County Facebook or Ellis County thing's a
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Sheriff's department page, the Midloathan Police Department page, the comments were,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: that's what happens when the demographic changes. If y'all hadn't
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: built the basketball courts, they wouldn't come. I hope he
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: gets gentle bent over a jailhouse bump. I mean, these
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: are the things that are coming from our so called neighbors,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, they like to
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: present this all inclusive town, but they're still underlying there's
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: still underlying racial tensions that they don't want to address,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: and they try to sweet stuff under the rug.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that and that seems to be the culture
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: of a lot of the smaller. Uh, yeah, it is,
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: that's the perfection. Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: and it's it's sad because that's been the direction of
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: this state for the past decade or so, even though
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: it is Texas and you know, hey, I'm a lifelong Texans,
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: so we've dealt with you know, different variations of things.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: It has.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, right, yeah, m hm.
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: M hm.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: Make me want to fight for the individuals that are
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: there because it should not be happening, should not be
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: definitely right.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: And that's and that's what this thing is about. It's
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: about filling those seats that get Governor Greg Abbot uh
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: promised to the private to the private institutions to keep
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: them at one hundred percent capacity. And that's right. Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: that is how we've got to go.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: Why that's why it's very important that we are taking
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: our rightful places, that we are going to these meetings,
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: even though they don't want us there. It's it's time
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: for us to go sit in there and see what
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: they're talking about. They can't deny us. Have to go
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: in and see what these people are doing. And then
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: when these offices come vacant, we got to run for
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: these offices don't care if you ain't got no kind
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: of experience. They don't got none. They keep putting their brothers,
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: their sisters, their nieces and nephews, they uncles, and all
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: the tism that they use in these offices. It's time
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: for us to do it too. It's time for us
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: to step in there and allow our voices to be heard.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: Because it's these local elections and these local offices would matter,
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: don't matter because they're gonna put who they want to
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: put up there in their presidency. But if you got
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: people that you got people that's fighting on the local level,
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: and then county wide, state wide, and then you sitting
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: on these seats in Congress and in the Senate, then
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: you can make the change. Then we can see change
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: coming together. And it's going to take all of us
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: putting our foot down and saying enough is enough.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: And that's what that's what it is. We have to
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: protect our babies. We have to get them in a
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: position to where they're able to stand up against this
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: tyranny with us standing behind them, making sure that they
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: can stand up behind against this tyranny. And that's what
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: it's all about. We have to stand firm and protect Christopher,
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: protect these young people that are out here facing these
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: moments and get them out of it, and then protect
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: the ones they're trying to get into that same trap.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: And that's by as Sis said, we have to make
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: sure we start changing these laws running for these offices,
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: going to stand up in these these city council medium
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: meetings and school board meetings and the Senate needs and
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: hearings and go in there and start being the change
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: that we desire. We have to. We can't be fearful
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: of it. But I definitely want to thank you guys
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: for coming in today. We're going to have to make
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: a greater space as well for you guys again to
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: come in and update on this case. Hopefully we have
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: some news coming up in the beginning of the year,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: because I'm definitely trying to get some things taken care
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: of in you guys favor, and so we definitely want
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: to tell you guys that we are behind you, We're
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: praying with you, but we're also working hard behind the
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: scenes to make sure you guys are good. I know
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: I don't talk to you guys at all, but I
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: am working behind the scenes to make sure that things
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: are good, and I get in contact with those that
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: do contact with you guys, because we definitely got to
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: see Christopher free. We got to see him able to
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: go on in his life and do things. Now we
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: know we still got to fight in Texas, we still
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: got to fight in the United States. But we want
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: that fight for him to be without that charge on
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: his neck. We want that to be free. We want
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: that to be dismissed. So he wants to deal with that.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: But you guys, I want to give you guys an
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: opportunity to speak to the people before we leave. And
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: again I just want to thank you guys for coming
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: in today and sharing with us what you guys are
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: going through, because I don't think people really realize what
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: the plight of our kings and our queens raising black
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: kings and queens are going through in these small cities
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: in the metroplex. We just think the DFW Metroplex and
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: we say, oh, Dallas for Worth, Okay, everything good. But
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: we don't think about myth low tem We don't think
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: about Ovilla, we don't think about Red We don't think
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: about all these other different cities that are out there
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: where people are living and doing what they need to do,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: but people around them don't want to give them peace.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: So I need you guys to speak to the people
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: one last time and closing and just let them know
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: from your heart what you guys got going down.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Just say, everybody out there and we appreciate it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Support y'all, giving the prayers, you know, the thoughtful kind words.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: You know, it all means a lot to all of us.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: We're fighting for our sons life, you know, fighting for
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: his future. We're fighting for the future.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Of our family as well, his name as well.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Self defense is not a crime, like you know, like
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: we said, the video clearly shows my son's attacked and
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: he defended himself as as anybody should in any type
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: of situation like that. Stuff like this has to stop it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it's becoming a continued problem. We as a people,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: we as a community, we gotta get behind, you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: each and every one of these situations, like you said,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: applying pressure to these DA's, like you said, getting ourselves
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: in into these these positions, these opposites so we can
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: make a difference. I know I'm not gonna stop after this.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna fight for my son. We're gonna fight for
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: our son but after this is it on end, because
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be another There's gonna be another Christopher, that's
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: gonna be another Carmelo, that's gonna be another somebody else.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna get behind the fight the same way
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: people are fighting for us.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: And just knowing you know these don't you know, everything
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: that is given is solely beings big to keep ours
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: from behind Boss in his defense. So just you know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: just keep that in mind as well, and.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Most definitely the most definitely, we're definitely gonna keep praying,
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: and I just want you guys to know that we're
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: fighting with you. And as a person who has been
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: in the system, fighting this system from the outside the inside,
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: I know what that looks like. And there's no reason
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: for someone that was defending themselves to have to go
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: through this moment, but he is. And so we know
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: that God won't put more on us than what we
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: can bear, even though sometimes it seems like that, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: sometimes it's a catalyst to something greater. And so just know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: just like with myself, they have pushed me into advocacy
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: more than what I was and so I understand now
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: throughout all of those testing trials of advocating for others.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: I can just imagine what you guys are going through
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: being actually part of the situation. And all I know
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: is that this too shall pass, because we know we serve,
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: and we know whose we are, and we know where
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: we come from, being the kings and queens that we are,
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: and we're going to trust God that he's going to
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: make this thing come out in you guy's favor, and
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: that it's going to be a blessing that that young
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: King Christopher will be able to stand up and proclaim
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: and help others that effaced this moment just like he is.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Give him new purpose on top of the purpose that
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: he already had in his life to be able to
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: move forward. And so that's our prayer is that this
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: thing is released, this thing is dismissed. You guys are
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: made whole because this has put a rock in your
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: place and in your way that you have to climb
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: over for no reason. And so we ask God that
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: he make you guys hold, give you the peace that
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: passed all understanding that you're able to go forward this
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: thing as a family and stay that tight nucleus knowing
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: that God got you back. And so we definitely are
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: praying with you guys. We are covering you guys in prayer,
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: but we're also covering in action too, because we're gonna
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: definitely do what we got to do to help you
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: guys and to make sure that we are the support
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: outside being that armor around you guys. So I definitely
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: thank you guys tonight for coming in, and this won't
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: be the last. We'll reach out again and try to
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: get you guys in another time so we can kind
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: of get more into the webs and the weeds of

  Speaker 8: what's going on, they can learn how they can give
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: to the Give Seeing Go again. It is running across
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: the bottom of the screen, but you can go to
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: give seeing go dot com backslash Justice for Chris and
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: make your donation. Donate to the family and show them
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: that you are rallying behind them because we all know
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: that when things like this happen, and especially with what
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: they're dealing with, that there are costs behind these things
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: and they need protection. They need to be protected because
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: I'm sure that y'all have other kids, right correct, Yes,
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: they have other kids that have to be protected. They
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: have other kids that have ne and wants as well,
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: So we have to make sure that they're okay, And
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: definitely have to make sure that Christopher's okay because we
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: know that trauma, a lot of trauma comes behind situations
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: like this, and even though we are strong people, we
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: do need help. So he definitely probably needs some counseling
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: and he's gonna need some ongoing things. And so this
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: is over and and and he says that he's okay,
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: so we have to be there to rally behind them.
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: So if y'all can donate, please donate as much as
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: you can, as often as you can. And if you
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: can't do anything else, you can lift up a prayer,
