  Speaker 1: Greeting salutations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Power Hour on six to ten double UTV in on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglass. You know who you are, and we take
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it from there. We get one hour together, which means
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I talk really fast and you must listen even faster.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: My number eight two one nine eight eight six eight
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: two one double UTV in or one eight hundred and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: six to ten WTV. And maybe I misunderstood. I don't
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: know the the the story that Allison was just doing.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Actually it was a reporter that she went to on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the three fifteen the three fifteen wreck. If I understood
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it correctly, the woman who owned the car is going
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to be charged because she gave a ride to the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: woman who drove the car and caused the wreck, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: she she gave her access to her car. I guess
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to read more about that, because on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the surface, I don't like the way this sounds at all.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You go pick up somebody you know, your your spouse
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: or your adult kid or whatever, and they're drunk, drunk
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: off their butt and you go pick them up, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: bring them home, say, man, just sit your butt down,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'll get some coffee. So we're up. You put your
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: keys on the coffee table, you go in the kitchen,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: They take your keys and go do something. I don't know.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Is that your fault because another adult, in their innee orated,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: messed up state of mind took your vehicle and did
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. This just doesn't smell right to me.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: The woman who calls the accident, calls the wreck, calls
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the cartage on three fifteen absolutely responsible. I'm not sure.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm good with the owner of the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: vehicle being charged with something here. And I know the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: first line of thinking is, well, if you what if
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you left a gun out, then they were able to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: get a gun. A gun's a different matter. A gun
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: has one thing that it does, and that's to shoot,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But to have what if? What if you had candles
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in your house and the drunk person set the house
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on fire and somebody died in the fire. Is that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: your fault? I guess it's upsetting me because so very
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: often we see people, we hear of people, we read
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of people that are obviously obviously guilty as sin for
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: committing crimes against individuals and against society, and they slide.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Now you've got somebody who not so obviously gave access
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know what they mean by you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: gave or allowed access to the vehicle. What does that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: mean you left an adult somewhere where the keys to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: your car were or I don't know, I don't know
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to what extent this person went out of their way
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to make sure that the person who calls the wreck
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: had access to their car. Just I don't know. Am
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I worrying about nothing here? I just I feel like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: there are plenty of people who should be charged that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: walk away from things, and this one just seems like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they're reaching for somebody in charge charged the person that
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: committed the crime. But I just I don't see a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: two nine eight eighty six. By the way, you're welcome to disagree,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, because I'm still thinking this one through. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I never I won't say, I never yell when people
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: get on there and they start yelling at me, trying
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to overtalk me. Yeah, I can get loud, but I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: really try not to do that. Bait discussion disagreement with respect.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, and we don't have to agree on everything,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And sometimes the best way to sort through what you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think is to hear what other people think and kind of,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, mesh that together with what you're thinking, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you come up with a conclusion. That's the way, that's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the way we work as human beings. But it's just, uh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this is a weird story. Columbus police were called down
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: down to the corner of Gay and Fourth today for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a stabbing. The stabbing victim taken to the hospital. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: don't know what their condition is. However, while they were
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: down there at Gay and Fourth now Gay and Fourth,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: right there by the Ohio Bell Building and one fifty
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: East Kay Street. I think Mayor Coleman lives in those townhouses,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: does any former Mayor Coleman? Those they're beautiful, man, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: love those things. Right there on Gay Street, on the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: other side of Fourth. I think the mayor lives there.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But they found a body, I guess, just on the street,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a body being a dead person, just on the street.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yesterday two women were injured. Columbus police were investigating out
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: what was it out in East Columbus, and they were
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: talking to these two women, who I guess were witnesses
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to what had happened. Why they were there, And while
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: somebody opens fire, I don't know if they were aiming
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: at the women because they didn't want them talking, or
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if they were aiming at the police because they are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the police. But somebody opens fire and the two women
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ended up getting shot. Both taken to the hospital. As
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: far as I know, they are recovering. We had people
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: attending a funeral, a funeral up on the North Side
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: day before yesterday. As they are exiting the church building
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: where the funeral was being held, somebody drives by opens fire.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We have an Office of violence Prevention, don't we what's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it preventing? It seems like every day, man, there's just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: there's people. You wake up in the morning, you turn
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the bad news, you know, roll over in bed,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: flip the switch. I was case, Scott Jennings. What's the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: bad news? People are just left and right, left and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: right shooting and getting shot, one shot and injured along
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Old and Tangee River Road. I believe that was yesterday.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I just I something's very wrong with us. And all
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of the committees and task forces in the world aren't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to do anything. All of the offices of violence
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: prevention aren't going to do anything. Remember that, what was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it four or five days ago? The guy up there
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: grabbing the women who were jogging, and I don't think
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he even bothered you, Tony. You know something's wrong with it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You could just look at him, tell something's wrong with him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon up at Sharon Woods Metro Park, officer involved
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: shooting up there Genoa Township Police and the man was
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: killed in the shooting. Police Chief James McMillan said the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: incident began on Saturday afternoon when his department received to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: call learning them to sexual assault and the potential perpetrator
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: had a gun. Officers located who they believed to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the suspect do the reports that he was armed. Multiple
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: enforcement agencies assisted in conducting a traffic stop of his
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: vehicle near a park in the Sharon Woods area. Following
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: what McMillan described as a brief encounter, shots were fired.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: One person was hit that was the suspect. The chief
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: said he believes one Genoa Township Police officer fired their
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: weapon and the person who was shot was later pronounced dead.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Officers fired will be placed on standard administrative leave hitting
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: results of the investigation accordingly or Additionally, the Ohio bure
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Criminal Investigation confirmed on Saturday it's taken over. The investigation
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: into the officer involves shooting. BCI is working their tails off,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: because if it's like this in Columbus, I have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: imagine Cleveland and Cincinnati are also are also having their
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: share of Fellownius assaults and murders and all this kind
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Dating and Toledo probably seeing an uptick as well.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But I don't know how it's happening here because we
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: have an office, an office of violence prevention. I'm not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: telling people to be scared. I just always tell you
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: be aware. Pay attention, Pay attention the world around you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Pay attention, keep your head on a swivel, watch your six,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: whatever cute little phrase you want to use. Pay attention.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Summer is not over yet. The heat of summer is
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not over yet. We have been fortunate, believe it or not,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: with the cooler weather in the rain, because we're in August. Man,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: if it was ninety eight degrees every day and you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: gas it for something a gown, and people get all frustrated,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: broke hot mad, it would probably be worse, honestly, So
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we've been kind of fortunate anyway, Zachary, I, do you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: keep your head on a swivel. I mean that, I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: say that meaningfully. I I mean, but are you one
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of these you? Are you always watching when you're pumping
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: your gas? Do you stand outside the car and look
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: around and watch what's going on? Yes?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Ever since I was in high school, actually, even though
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it was a small town and everything, and I was
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: friends with a guy walk story short, I got punched
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to the head getting gas. Watch because I was friends
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: with somebody who hated somebody else type of thing. And
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: since then I've been like, gotta watch out.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So, as an innocent bystander, you got abused because somebody
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: didn't like somebody else. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Luckily the guy punched me was like my size,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: so it was a laughable whatever. It wasn't a big deal.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: But since then I've been like, oh, pay attention.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: We have no uh, no rhyme or reason. There's plenty
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of theories, plenty of speculation, but there's nothing you can
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: nail down and say this is what's causing it, because
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: if we could, we'd fix it. But the regard, the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: regard for human life is disappearing. And that makes me sad,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: not only not only angry, but sad. I just I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: feel like we're going backward in so many ways, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I hate to see that
