- 0:18Speaker 1: Who got the Donkey of the day today.
- 0:22Speaker 4: Well, Jess hilarious donkey today for Thursday, December fourteenth. Cause
- 0:25Speaker 4: the two men, one named Michael Green, the other name
- 0:28Speaker 4: Byron Bows and collectively known is the KitchenAid Mix. The
- 0:31Speaker 4: crew they have called the Kitchen Aid Mix it is.
- 0:33Speaker 4: It's those individuals who you know, used to go in TJ.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Max and Marshall's. You know sometimes it's starting them all
- 0:40Speaker 4: like Bloomingdale's or something J. C. Man Macy and they
- 0:43Speaker 4: would steal okay back in the day and they would
- 0:45Speaker 4: steal the.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Polo to Tommy Hill figure.
- 0:47Speaker 4: Some of them, if they were really good, could go
- 0:49Speaker 4: in a big lotch or something like that and catch
- 0:51Speaker 4: a microwave with TV, some socks, whatever it was. They
- 0:54Speaker 4: would bring it back to the hood and sell it
- 0:56Speaker 4: for the low low. And if you were selling crack
- 0:58Speaker 4: at any point in your life like I was. You
- 1:00Speaker 4: could borter a few things, okay, you could borther you know,
- 1:03Speaker 4: some items for some rocks, okay, jewelry, houseware, small appliances, electronics,
- 1:08Speaker 4: pharmaceutical products, you name it. If a retail thief can
- 1:11Speaker 4: steal it, and they got an addiction that fried cocaine
- 1:14Speaker 4: can get it for you. Okay, I'm not glorifying it
- 1:16Speaker 4: in any way, shape or form. Just telling you about
- 1:18Speaker 4: my life. Now, why did I tell you this Backstory'll
- 1:21Speaker 4: let you know that things just say the same for
- 1:23Speaker 4: retail thieves.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:24Speaker 4: In fact, the DA's office said they're getting more aggressive
- 1:27Speaker 4: and prosecuting retail crimes because they said they are realizing
- 1:30Speaker 4: that people aren't stealing for personal use. They are stealing
- 1:33Speaker 4: because they are putting these items on the black market,
- 1:35Speaker 4: and they need to stop that.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Duh. DA's Office.
- 1:39Speaker 4: Way, you're been This has been going on way before
- 1:42Speaker 4: I have existed, and it will probably be going on
- 1:44Speaker 4: way after I'm going. Okay, But I must say, like
- 1:47Speaker 4: most things in this era, these new retail thieves are different.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Okay. See Michael and Byron got caught.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Not only did they get caught, they got convicted for
- 1:54Speaker 4: felony theft, okay, because see in Colorado, if you steal
- 1:58Speaker 4: more than two thousand dollars in items a felony two
- 2:01Speaker 4: thousand dollars or less, it's a misdemeanor. These guys stole
- 2:04Speaker 4: two thousand, ninety four dollars worth of items. Because one
- 2:07Speaker 4: of the things they stole was a kitchen aid mixer.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Those kitchen aid mix mixes are not cheap. They range
- 2:12Speaker 4: in price, but I seen one that costs like eight
- 2:14Speaker 4: hundred and forty nine dollars. Okay, back in my day,
- 2:16Speaker 4: you might get like one hundred dollars worth of crack
- 2:18Speaker 4: for that. All right, that's worked about five rocks. They
- 2:20Speaker 4: also stole some brand name shoes and clothing. Okay, now,
- 2:24Speaker 4: they stole a lot of coals. Cole's got some great
- 2:26Speaker 4: brands in there, Adidas, Nike, under Armor, Champion.
- 2:28Speaker 2: You ever tool a lot of coals?
- 2:29Speaker 5: Yet?
- 2:30Speaker 1: Absolutely?
- 2:30Speaker 2: What? Okay? So they was in there having a great time.
- 2:33Speaker 4: But the reason they're getting donky of today is they're
- 2:35Speaker 4: legal defense.
- 2:36Speaker 2: So he remember I told you that it's it's two.
- 2:39Speaker 4: If it's two thousand dollars or more, it's a felony
- 2:41Speaker 4: two thousand dollars or less. It's a misdemeanor. They was
- 2:43Speaker 4: at two thousand ninety four dollars. Their lawyers feel like
- 2:46Speaker 4: they shouldn't get a felony, they should get a misdemeanor.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Why because the items they stole.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Were on sale. I can't make this kind of stuff.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Fum.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Let's go to the NBC nine News for the report policing.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Fifty year old Michael Green and thirty seven year old
- 3:00Speaker 6: Byron Bolden got the ridiculous but very literal nickname the
- 3:04Speaker 6: KitchenAid Mixer Crew because they stole those mixers, along with
- 3:07Speaker 6: other items from a Coals in Parker last year. Well,
- 3:10Speaker 6: the eighteenth Judicial District where these two men were charged
- 3:13Speaker 6: and stood trial says, all the stuff stolen from Coals,
- 3:17Speaker 6: the mixers, clothes, shoes, it all tolded two thousand ninety
- 3:21Speaker 6: four dollars. And that is important because the cutoff line
- 3:24Speaker 6: between a misdemeanor and a felony in Colorado is two
- 3:26Speaker 6: thousand dollars. So they were over that limit by ninety
- 3:29Speaker 6: four bucks.
- 3:30Speaker 7: But you know coals, there's always a sale.
- 3:33Speaker 6: And the prosecutor's team tells us that defense tried to
- 3:36Speaker 6: argue this lost value is actually lower if you consider
- 3:39Speaker 6: the stolen items were on sale. The DA's office says,
- 3:42Speaker 6: the value that matters in court is the retail price,
- 3:45Speaker 6: not a sale or a coupon or whatever else. And
- 3:48Speaker 6: the jury agreed. They convicted both men of a Class
- 3:50Speaker 6: six felony. Green will serve fifteen months in prison he's
- 3:53Speaker 6: already behind bars on another conviction, and Bolden got ninety
- 3:56Speaker 6: days in jail with some credit for time served.
- 3:58Speaker 4: A legal argument by the defend these two individuals stole
- 4:01Speaker 4: merchandise that was on sale, and if you use the
- 4:04Speaker 4: sale price, it will fall below the two thousand dollars
- 4:06Speaker 4: threshold and will make it a miss of meaning. Basically,
- 4:08Speaker 4: they want a discount on whatever time they was gonna get. Okay,
- 4:11Speaker 4: you just heard. Mike Green got fifteen months in prison.
- 4:14Speaker 4: The other one, Byron Bolden, will sentenced to ninety days
- 4:16Speaker 4: in jail with credit for time served as a condition
- 4:18Speaker 4: of eighteen months probation. Sounded like he might have snitched,
- 4:21Speaker 4: therefore he already got his cooperating discount. But as far
- 4:23Speaker 4: as both of them getting a discount because the items
- 4:26Speaker 4: are on sale, that's just not how any of this works.
- 4:28Speaker 4: On a ghetto scale of one to two v this
- 4:31Speaker 4: legal defense is a strong six maybe seven. Okay, it
- 4:35Speaker 4: don't matter if what you stole is on sale. Sales
- 4:39Speaker 4: only apply when you are acquiring these items by purchasing
- 4:43Speaker 4: them the legal way. Sales don't apply when you are
- 4:46Speaker 4: using the five finger discount. Sales don't apply to free
- 4:49Speaker 4: tail therapy with your crazy tail sales. If you're due
- 4:52Speaker 4: to crime, you're not getting a discount on the time.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Serious question. Has it always been this way with attorneys?
- 4:58Speaker 4: I feel like lawyers are getting tubia and tubia as
- 5:02Speaker 4: life goes on. And when I say tubia, I mean jokey,
- 5:06Speaker 4: and I don't like the way they be acted. Please
- 5:08Speaker 4: give Michael Green and Byron Bolden the sweet sounds of
- 5:11Speaker 4: the Hamiltons.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Oh No, you are the.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Day, the doge.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Ah the day.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Ye.
- 5:28Speaker 4: My good sister Jess Larius is here with us today. Jess,
- 5:31Speaker 4: I saw you on Cam Newton Show Funky Friday, absolutely
- 5:34Speaker 4: and you told the story of someone stealing your rental car.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Before we go there, I just want to say, I
- 5:39Speaker 1: beg to differ.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Why love interrupting with this so much?
- 5:41Speaker 5: I'm just I'm interrupting you because because before you get
- 5:45Speaker 5: that stepped on, I just want to say, I beg
- 5:46Speaker 5: to differ.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I don't agree with you, don't even care either. Well, no,
- 5:49Speaker 2: I'm just telling you.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Before you switch it and move on, I beg the differ.
- 5:52Speaker 2: If it's I wasn't moving on.
- 5:54Speaker 5: If it's a price at a store, whatever, that price
- 5:58Speaker 5: in the store, if that person steal that's the price
- 5:59Speaker 5: where they should be Yeah, I think he charged white.
- 6:02Speaker 4: No, I'm just telling you. I think you should be quiet. No,
- 6:05Speaker 4: I think you should be quiet. No, I just want
- 6:08Speaker 4: to I just want to tell you that, right, if
- 6:11Speaker 4: they sued to be quiet? Right, yes, no, I agree
- 6:13Speaker 4: with him. No, if they if they stole something that
- 6:15Speaker 4: was nine hundred and ninety nine.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Dollars, that's what they should be charged with, right, because
- 6:19Speaker 5: that's what it was advertised.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, not the price that wasn't advertised.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Absolutely, because it's not going to go back because it's
- 6:27Speaker 3: on sale for a reason, because it's not selling well
- 6:29Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So it would never go
- 6:31Speaker 3: back up to two thousand dollars.
- 6:33Speaker 4: But you know what sale, it's still a retail price
- 6:36Speaker 4: that they said. They said in court, you're gonna get
- 6:38Speaker 4: charged with what the retail price.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Was, didn't target do something. I want to talk to
- 6:42Speaker 5: you didn't target, didn't target do a thing. Still talking,
- 6:44Speaker 5: we've seen something where they had just stealing. No, I'm
- 6:48Speaker 5: just saying that's what you're doing right. It shouldn't be
- 6:50Speaker 5: a misdemean.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It should be what they stole it for the actual price.
- 6:52Speaker 7: That should be And I agree with that.
- 6:57Speaker 2: You got your rental cost twice. They give you your
- 7:00Speaker 2: first back though.
- 7:01Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, the guy who stole it from me.
- 7:03Speaker 4: My question is if those people were to get caught,
- 7:05Speaker 4: do you think police officers should be lenient with them
- 7:07Speaker 4: because it was a rental car, hul, They should just
- 7:09Speaker 4: get your charged with stealing.
- 7:11Speaker 7: They should still get charged with stealing because it's not
- 7:13Speaker 7: their car.
- 7:14Speaker 2: They stole a car.
- 7:14Speaker 7: Yeah, they stole a car. That is very much different.
- 7:17Speaker 5: They're not gonna get charged with stealing her bag because
- 7:19Speaker 5: they gave her back.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Get charged with stealing a car. It doesn't matter if
- 7:22Speaker 4: it's a rental car or not. It don't matter that
- 7:24Speaker 4: she's spending one hundred dollars a day with Hurts, whatever
- 7:27Speaker 4: it was.
- 7:27Speaker 5: But they should be charged with stealing, just not a misdemeaning.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Because so you're saying the same time, the call people.
- 7:34Speaker 5: They should just be charged with stealing.
- 7:36Speaker 1: At the price of what they stole it for.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Yes, so that's the case.
- 7:40Speaker 4: They should be charged with the mean stealing the rental car,
- 7:42Speaker 4: because it's just a rental car all the day.
- 7:43Speaker 7: That's the difference.
- 7:44Speaker 2: No, it's not different. It's not. I don't want to
- 7:46Speaker 2: talk to you. You should shut up. I told you
- 7:49Speaker 2: to be quiet.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But you're gonna learn it's not the same.
- 7:51Speaker 7: You're gonna learn the black Were they black?
- 7:53Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't look. I'm sure I think
- 7:56Speaker 2: they were white. Though. He looks a picture me, I
- 8:03Speaker 2: don't know. That's the lawyer. I think that's the lawyer.
- 8:04Speaker 2: What's their names? Pull up a picture, Eddie. They black
- 8:06Speaker 2: and white?
- 8:07Speaker 7: What's their names? Byron?

- 8:14Speaker 1: I don't know white?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Who is it?
