Sometimes you know, you think about

You know what I'm saying?

I have learned when I'm talking with different people in different areas and they talk about this and I'll be like, yeah, you know what?

I, you know, did this and I did.

That's crazy.

Did you see that Empire State Building thing?

Them two fools.

Oh yeah, up there.

What the hell?

I didn't see no harnesses or anything.

They're

like that.

Do you know how?

I don't know.

We'll try to see.

Wait a minute.

Xavier to try to pull up that C in hand clip of them scaling the Empire State Building, not just up there.

Listen, they went up there like like they were King Kong.

Well, I mean, they're known for stuff like that.

No,

they do stuff like that.

And then they don't know how they

got past security or anything.

You know,

And can I just say, in my opinion,

OK,

things some white people do?

Because I'd be damned.

I don't

care.

This is why

I got to be

a white black thing.

Because I haven't

seen any of those people that are doing those things, scaling buildings, call themselves Spider-Man, all that.

I ain't seen it be a black man or a black woman.

I'm not saying that it has never happened, but every time I see it on the news and it's highlighted.

They not like us.

Maybe we can ask our mix.

Is there an influx of black people that are doing these type of things as well?

You know, like I say, every time I hear about it, somebody scaled this, somebody did

this.

They're

not like us.

They're not like us.

Well, well, Kendrick.

Are you my friend?

This way.

Okay.

Great morning, Xavier.

Okay, I got to let him finish his coffee, drink here.

He was like, I wasn't prepared for that.

Now that I have sipped my

I'm not mad

at the average.

I can now

Attend to it a great morning.

Xavier.

No,

the world's on fire.

No one seems to care

It is it is as it relates to I don't know you can pull that clip Okay, okay And even if it's just playing in the black ground it ain't even got a we even got to hear the audio but

There are certain things that I think other people do that we won't all right.

Yeah

Climb in the Empire State Building.

Yeah, going to the They didn't have on the harness baby.

Listen, going to the Mitchell Park Dome to smell a plant that's stank.

Right.

There was a hole on it.

Right.

Some people just gotta.

Who was

in that line?

Some people just gotta do this.

None of y'all.

They said it smells like rotting

flesh.

Yeah, I

like

when it blooms.

What is it, the corpse flower or something

like that?

Yeah,

something like that.

Yeah.

Like I'm like

so you didn't go see it

You know what what we not gonna do but yeah like I don't know I'm I guess I'm

somewhat adventurous.

I ain't like the stuff that a lot of them people do.

I ain't that them people.

Yeah.

Because I'm not saying white.

I'm not just saying mums.

I'm not just saying Asians.

Is that

any relation to you people?

No, it's saying that any other people that do

that.

That's them people ain't.

Yeah, them people that do that.

No, they ain't cousins.

Them people that do that.

Those are.

Then

people so the clip is people

to do that.

Yeah, then people that do that Then people that do that like so like I say I'm sure some blacks people in there somewhere where but it's mung Asia Stealth Stealth

Stealth where

Stealth baby

where I'm

just saying Yeah, so so

Look at look at where are you looking?

It's great.

Like, like I don't see nothing for safety.

They don't need nothing for safety.

Bailey.

Listen.

Okay.

All

right.

All

right.

You've been you've been to Chicago, right?

You've been to Chicago.

I've

been to Chicago.

Please.

Now it's not called the Sears Tower, but you know, it's called Sears Tower.

Right.

You do know that as you go up there to those top floors, the building actually sways.

Yeah.

Let me tell you something.

So I'm from that way.

I'm from Seattle, the Space Needle.

Right.

And when you go up in the Space Needle, now they have a whole floor.

They have a couple floor.

There's I think it's three floors where it's not like this, but it's glass.

Right.

And you can look right down and you can look all around

you.

panoramic view

it's glass mm-hmm so you could go that's

how they have it at the Sears Tower but I call something else it

feels like this looks mm-hmm and I was just like if you go if you step in on the edge then you have you know the regular grounding or whatever but you could step there's like it's like a glass floor

yeah

because my my son

And his friend they was.

I was like, hey, hey,

I guarantee you, even though they go up there in that Chicago, well, former Sears Ira building, I'll find the correct name because it's a different name now.

But that that glass floor where you're standing out and you just looking straight down.

Yeah, there's some urine on the floor.

Listen, I'm telling you, because even though you

You chose to go because you wanted to do it.

You paid for the experience, right?

You got up there and a natural body reaction.

Yeah.

Oh, you know, I believe that.

You know, they say scared.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You know

what?

And at the Space Needle, you can see planes flying in and everything.

Right.

All the things.

I'm gonna show you some pictures because I have some maybe I'll shoot a picture to Xavier and

yeah Yeah

posters you guys can see

that Xavier what?

Is there a lot of you know Have you had experience and seen the people that do these type of things and Are there many people of color?

That you see when it shows these type of things being done well, especially on a major

Where it makes world news

Well, I've seen these people you know these people that climb to the top of the buildings and stuff like that They typically tend to be white, but a lot of these people come from the What should I say the Alps know the rock climbing

community and stuff

like that.

So I frequent Colorado Once every year and yeah, most of the rock climbers I see are

White but I do see some blacks

not very many

though.

Yeah, but you know here and there

I'm just saying so my My guesstimation is correct that it's not necessarily a lot So I'm sure that we know we go.

Oh, did you know that?

Francis such as he

done it and yeah, but we see

them doing it like all the time You know when I see documentaries

I see a lot of frozen white people on those mountains.

I don't see.

That's Mount Everest.

What is wrong with you?

I mean, it's true.

It's true.

You know, because they can't take them down.

You know what I'm saying?

They can't.

Oh my gosh.

And they be just like, they mummified.

Like they are glacier.

Mummified?

Yeah, they're

using as markers.

Yeah.

I'm aware it's mummified.

Yeah.

You said mummified.

Yeah,

because that's I'm looking at him like, you know, like, why?

Why'd you do this?

You know, and

because they wanted to climb the mountain.

Well, they they didn't make it to heaven.

Like they were at the very antenna.

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, no.

And again, like I say, no harness.

Like they didn't have any safety belts or anything like that.

Yeah, people freestyle.

They probably were non climbers and they freestyle.

You know, when they freestyle, there's no harness or anything like

that.

You know what?

I don't have vertigo, but watching Bailey go up and down on the screen.

It's hilarious to be like.

Listen, we got to take care of the bills.

I was talking about them e scooters Xavier.

When I was saying scooters, electric scooters line and all of that,

you know,

somebody trying to

do something about it.

I like, I like the electric scooters, but I got to tell you.

I felt a certain type of way when I heard this announcement.

Hey, listen, I do the electric boogie before I do the electric scooter.

Uh, you can't.

Okay.

Listen, you're listening to shoot in the morning on the award winning one on one, seven of them.

Welcome Black.

Truth in the morning All right, all right, we gonna learn the day Yeah, you wouldn't get far without having some American family insurance.

That's true.

I mean they got you covered.

Yes, literally, you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, make sure you check that out The e-scooters

Yeah You might need some American family insurance for that You roll it out like that.

Yeah, you know

I'm telling you, there are people that utilize them the right way.

And then there are some people who abuse them.

And you know, when I brought that up with our producer, Xavier, like, I don't, you know, they really abide by the lanes that they have and things of that nature.

I'm like, I've seen the opposite.

So

yeah, you know what?

It depends on what side of town you're where you're

at.

Right.

Right.

You know, because.

There are no I mean there aren't bike lanes everywhere.

Mm-hmm, you know and even then You know Navigating those is a whole another issue, you know,

yeah shout out to those recovering with broken arms and broken legs

that part

Yeah, the

gentleman that's in the hospital right now, and there's another young man That was arrested.

Yeah, because of the the owner

of Lakash.

I mean, he has serious injuries.

I, you know,

I said me,

yeah, the brain, like just everything and even watching him literally what we call mow him down.

Like if you watch that video clip, it's crazy.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so he's charged with this.

He's changed that man's life forever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

the injuries that he sustained from the crazy thing is, is from a scooter, right?

I mean, right, which tells you that they can be just as dangerous sometimes or more dangerous than a car.

And so there is a clip, but it says Milwaukee Alderman to introduce stricter e scooter measures.

So Alderman Bob Bowman is proposing higher fines, slower speed limits in downtown.

But we do have the clip on that.

We're going to play that and let's talk about this.

OK.

Proposed a scooter chaos crackdown.

One Milwaukee City leader is set to introduce new safety measures come tomorrow.

12 news.

Jasmine Franklin joining us live downtown with the restrictions up for debate.

Jasmine.

right Alderman Bowman is pushing to add higher fines and also reducing the speed of e-scooters here downtown.

He says these steps are necessary efforts to make to make sure everyone including pedestrians and riders stays safe.

It was an accident waiting to happen and finally we did get a serious accident.

Two weeks after a Milwaukee sidewalk scooter rider knocked the man to the ground near MLK in states.

Alderman Bob Bowman is set to propose stricter measures to city leaders Thursday to ensure another person isn't seriously hurt.

So we have to find a solution to the sidewalk issue.

or the entire viability of the scooter program may be a jeopardy.

In Milwaukee, it is illegal to ride scooters on sidewalks.

Bowman is proposing to increase fines from $10 to up to $200.

He's also pushing to slow scooters down to a five mile per hour speed limit downtown.

15 miles an hour with a 200 pound person on a scooter can do a fair amount of damage if you're suddenly struck and you weren't anticipating

it.

scooter riders say using sidewalks feels safer than riding in the street, but ultimate bowman says it's causing more problems.

City doesn't have the resources to fill potholes, much less redesign our entire street network to accommodate microtransit vehicles like scooters and e-bikes.

Then maybe Milwaukee got ready for scooters.

Maybe we build out the infrastructure first and then we bring scooters back in.

Jasmine Ulderman Bob Bowman is planning to present this proposal tomorrow.

He is.

That is happening tomorrow morning during the Public Safety and Health Committee meeting.

Now we did reach out to other Commission Council members to see if they agree with this proposal.

However, we did not hear back tonight.

We did, though, hear back from Mayor Cavalier Johnson.

His office tells 12 News the mayor will review any action from the council.

He is concerned about the safety issues that surround scooter use in busy areas.

All right, that follow up expected tomorrow morning.

Jasmine

Franco live in Milwaukee.

Thank you true nation those of you who are on our YouTube or our Facebook page Make sure while you're watching us on Facebook you hit that like and follow button and of course on YouTube like and subscribe hit the bell That's all at one oh one seven the truth one oh one seven the truth.

That's where you'll find us on YouTube and Facebook What is your thoughts Bailey?

You remember I was just talking about these right scooters and

I've seen the danger and my thing is you got to slow them down in the inner city too because they be reckless.

You know, oh yeah, they don't care.

They don't give a damn.

See here's how I feel about this.

I have ridden them several times and

I like it.

There's an exhilarating feeling, but I think a designated area

would

probably work better or say, for example, you know, because everybody's sidewalks and downtown streets are just not like there's not a lot of bike lanes or anything downtown.

Hey, we're down here now.

Not a lot of that and it can be danger.

I mean it is dangerous I mean and doing it on the sidewalks is dangerous and doing it unfortunately on the street Is dangerous as well because it's dangerous to the pedestrians and to yourself to be honest with you Let's let's be realistic Doing it on the sidewalk there ain't enough room and then the little dips into this and that they're involved with sidewalk use

that could be dangerous to you if you don't know what you really if you ain't all you know some people have the whole technique and everything they know but it's just not conducive it is just less realistically it's not

listen all of that is just yeah I've witnessed some of these individuals are driving uh riding these these scooters like they're driving a reckless if they were behind the wheel of a vehicle and still driving reckless right with the bobbin and weave and

at a rate of speed, you're like,

yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

You know, you got to run into sometimes, especially I'll say it in the inner city in some of the areas, you got to run into a confrontation when you say,

hey, now you slow down.

Well, you know what?

In the inner city, let's be realistic.

They are using them as a real mode of transportation.

They

are really using that form.

These for my.

vantage point are recreational type deals, you know what I mean and and I think unfortunately

more in the inner city They're using them

for

real

loads of transportation.

No, they're using them for recreational reckless drivers I'm just trying to tell you like I'm wondering how the hell you even got a card to get on the damn e-scooter

That part

now that part right there with some of the places that you see.

Yeah,

these scooters left in business there.

Right.

Ain't

no business

there whatsoever.

And over here.

And yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

So so it's unfortunate truth.

But

in my opinion, it's a true

they get over again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've seen a little video.

Yeah.

I would never show.

Don't even look at your radio like that.

Yeah.

They got a rig in

them.

And you are stealth.

Listen.

Yeah.

Stop looking at the YouTube like that.

You know they bring in them.

Stop playing.

And the thing is, like I say, for a lot of people, they do use it for a mode of transportation.

That's what they're doing.

And

they're like, how are you getting over here?

You ain't got no car.

I'll be over there.

I'll be over there in 20 minutes.

Yeah.

15 minutes.

Ten minutes.

I'll be there.

But the drive that they're doing to get over there.

Yeah.

Is is frustrating the hell out of people who are driving vehicles.

Absolutely.

People who are walking on the sidewalk.

Yes.

I mean, because they it's just it's crazy.

Yeah.

True nation.

What's what's your truth on this?

Do you think that there should be some regulations?

Yeah.

These scooters.

Yeah.

Would that help?

So we're gonna put that up as a poll 83 3

2 1 2 10 17.

That's our two talking text.

I hit us up there to shout out the Courtney.

Good morning

Thanks

for hitting us up on the truth talking text line.

Yeah, so we're gonna put that poll up Do you are you feeling this like I mean should there be some type of regulations on these scooters and You know, Juneteenth has been trying to get them to cut them off.

Yeah

You saw something out

there?

No, I was in the kids zone.

Oh,

OK.

Hey, soon as we finish the June team kids zone, they are doing the construction on the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Elementary Park in life.

I'm going to show you a video.

Oh, OK.

That was like, get out.

I would have

been in a hole.

I would have been in the center of the earth.

Listen, I'm going to show you this little video clip.

Yesterday's Dr. Martin Luther King to elementary school is not today.

It's

not today.

Not the parking lot.

No.

And the playground.

No.

All of us would have been swallowed

up.

You'd have thought it was an earthquake or something.

Wow.

They'd have been looking for my remains.

Wow.

He would have been a recovery issue.

Recovery.

Yeah.

It would have been.

It would have been a search and rescue.

I'd have been

gone.

All my speakers.

Yeah, those are your speakers

generator

The

gas would have been leaking from the generator.

Mrs. Blow would have been like honey.

I just wouldn't get some corn For you.

Okay.

We got to take care

of

some

bills.

We'll be black

Truth in the Morning returns after this on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

You are listening to Truth in the Morning on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

Welcome, Black Troop Nation.

Of course, the True Talk text lines are open at 833-212-1017.

Currently, currently, we're talking about Alderman Bob Bowman, who is proposing stricter e-scooter measures, higher fines, slower speed limits in downtown.

I think that...

I don't think that you don't be honest.

What about us, though?

You know what?

Let me just say this.

I don't think while it's fun to ride downtown, maybe this should just be designated zone that you could ride the man.

But you know.

But then the flip side of that is your people that come downtown, they ain't gonna buy by that.

So you might as well just take them all the way out of downtown.

You know, my thing...

with all of this about the e-scooters is that for and I think it's my take Bailey and troop nation on all of the things that I kind of like formulate different opinions on.

I hate to take it away from people who are not abusing it that are using it for what they're supposed to be.

utilize for it.

You know what I mean?

So people who are traveling black, white, Hmong, Asian, whatever it is, uh, Indian, it doesn't matter if you're literally using it to get to and from work, to and from this place.

And you're literally, you know, and I get it.

You can go out as a family fun adventure.

Right.

And you should be able to do that too.

But again, there has to be some.

rules and some some structure about that.

Yeah.

But we will end up losing what I think is a great thing for some because it saves gas.

All of that.

All of the things that be like, man, I'd rather take a scooter.

I'd rather it is.

But because of the abuse of probably a minority group of people, as I always say, here we go.

as a minority group of people and I'm not saying minority group.

I'm just saying black people.

I'm just saying those who are abusing them, right?

Because it's not it'll affect the overall of people who, uh, whether you work downtown, whether you work on, uh, further on the South side, say

New

York.

Yeah.

This ain't New York.

So you're gonna, they got bike riders.

They got all kinds of school people that, but our transportation ain't that way.

You don't see that much.

You know listen, so true nature we want to hear from you.

I

think there should be there should be some regulation.

Mm-hmm

You know but I Just feel like it could be dangerous any way you do it.

Yeah, I

mean There's always going to be The the the balance because nothing is perfect

right well, you know, and I kind of agree with his

a proposal to, you know, our streets are made for that.

The micro, you know, transportation, and it's, it's, it's not, you know, people are taking, maybe you do it where they can only use them downtown during certain time periods, like

in the more like

travel times work.

you know, the work function.

And then in the evening time, when they're doing all this party and I am kicking it, you can't have them down here.

I think that would work.

Well, yeah.

And the reason that I think that that works is because most of the time offices are closed.

Yeah.

So you don't even have to look at it in the context of, well, we'll stop somebody from coming to work.

Right.

No.

Nope.

Most of the offices are going to be

closed.

Allow them to be down here and usable during business hours.

Mm hmm.

Nine to five.

Yep.

Five thirty is a or six o'clock.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was going to say give time to get to work.

Yeah.

Six

o'clock you done.

You know.

And then

outside of

those.

Yeah.

Outside of those time periods.

They can't be down here because people be out here partying

and kicking in or wherever they are.

They need to be that five miles per hour.

Yeah.

Yep.

They need to be the five miles per hour.

I mean, realistically, I mean, everybody be like one less of five, you know, they really don't have to be that.

I'm with

you.

I mean, they scooters.

What are we doing?

It's supposed to be scooters.

I know.

What is we doing?

Hey, and another thing that is becoming prop.

Listen.

Okay, I'm not against e-bikes.

I'm not.

I get it.

But are you really gonna get the damn exercise?

No, but I'm just saying, I really get the exercise.

That ain't no exercise.

Right.

What is

that?

You out kicking it.

You on something

that you ain't got a pedal.

You ain't got a pedal.

All you gotta do is balance yourself

on that thing.

Plug it

up.

Plug it up and go.

Right.

That's

it.

That's not even the exercise of being on a bike.

That was the whole thing.

Your exercise is walking up to it and getting on

it.

That's it.

You know, you'd be better off doing the pedal tavern.

Pedal tavern?

Yeah.

Okay.

You seen them where they all got a pedal?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And then you can

get you a drink while you're doing

it.

Yep.

Yeah.

See, the drink ain't fun then.

The drink is supposed to be fun.

It ain't fun then.

And then what if you on there with people that want a pedal faster than you can we do a nice casual pedal, please You can't

we got you to pull up Do you think there should be more regulations on e-scooters?

Yes or no make sure you participate in the polls so we can find out you know where people's Mindsets are on these different situations

Let's go to again.

Great morning.

We love you.

We appreciate you to everybody that is on our YouTube page.

Jasmine Gooden said scooters in the street are the worst.

I've seen the kids almost get hit by the driver.

Anita Nicole said we can't get a grip on crime and we're coming up with new rules that can't or won't be enforced.

Who's policing this?

Just get rid of the rentals because they're reckless for the most part.

Wow.

And nurse are in kawanda you're right about what needed to go said and pointed up and said 100 Tiffany Harris said And we're gonna get to that that is one of our stories about the gas station.

Oh,

yeah,

yeah Brown deer.

Yeah, we're gonna be getting to that but Will D said

If you have a motorized scooter, you should have the same enforcement like a car.

You got to have insurance to ride it in case of an accident does occur.

We got one over here on the two talk text line.

833-212-1017.

Shout out to June.

I think she's the first time.

Text her.

She said, this is kind of like gun control.

There are always bad actors that will keep the conversation going.

You're right.

You're right.

Yeah.

And that's why I say it

It's usually a minority group of people that make it bad.

Yeah, because it affects the majority.

Yeah, you know

what?

And that's why I say it in that sense.

You know, when I was riding, there was no clear safety.

For me because if I wrote I was like came right on sidewalk to me people to me people right and You know, it's kind of it could be hard to control the speed on these things, right?

And then when I was riding on the street, I was afraid that I was gonna get caught up by a car And did almost crash into the person that I was riding with so it ain't you know

It is difficult.

And no, I'm not an expert at driving those things.

It's kind of like a situation because you got to get accustomed to balancing yourself on there and trying to control the speed.

So it's not as easy as people think, you know, in the beginning when you're doing it.

Now, after I had ridden it for a minute, I was cool with it.

I had the whole situation down, but then that's when we had finally transitioned to the bike lanes.

Right.

Mm hmm.

So I mean, it's a whole it's a whole scenario.

So you really got to I really feel like there does need to be some regulations, some regulation.

I think that's it because you those things they can be dangerous.

You know, especially when you're just starting and you're just getting on.

They're fun, but it's just.

But here's the thing that

designated driving areas for those.

Here's the thing before we end up going to a break that.

I was thinking about and I see a lot of troop nation is thinking about it on our YouTube page Bailey we already have like the influx of teens that were under that was 16 and under that clogged up water street on Monday night It's curfew.

Yeah

We can't even properly enforce curfew.

Yeah

So how are we going to properly enforce if they do come up with regulations for these scooters?

How do we enforce it?

No, they could you know what?

They don't have to pull the scooters off the streets.

That's the

only enforcement that you know, because they don't want to they don't want to act right.

You know, so they don't end up having it.

They need to start with just probably pulling them up off of certain areas in the beginning.

And, you know, they got to do what they got to do.

Mm hmm.

I just hate for all of my people that really utilize them for, you know, even if it's fun and leisure.

Yeah.

But for those who use it to go to work and somebody said on the YouTube page, they go to the grocery store and you know what?

I believe I believe they would have to be penalized because of a minority group of people who abuse it.

Yeah.

We got to get ready.

Take care of some bills.

Yeah, so we'll see.

This is one of those situations that our politicians could easily kind of control.

So you're going to see some efforts put in there.

Yeah.

Damn.

If you do, damned.

If you don't, can they enforce it?

Do we have enough law enforcement to put

yet

on that kind of patrol?

Yeah.

Or do we investigate some of the shootings and the homicides and

think about

it?

Yeah.

Doing this is

easy.

Whether it's a police seeing you riding and you ain't supposed to be riding or whether it's you know,

if you can shut them off like a device They can shut them off and then that would happen.

Yeah

Read the poll and what is the percentage?

Well, do you think there should be more regulations on e-scooters?

62% people say yes.

There we go.

There we go.

And because

they don't want to get run over.

I'm just saying, I don't, you know,

The thing is, you could step right out here on our sidewalk.

Now, the other day when I was out here, I was going to Kyle's reception.

And I parked right outside here, right outside our doors and almost got ran over.

And I was like, excuse me.

I'm just trying to get to my car back off because I don't want you sliding into it.

I love y'all though.

Peace on the streets.

Yeah, it's it's a lot that's going on and there I truly do believe though that There has to be some type of extra regulations put into place, but I don't believe that they should just be downtown If we gonna do it we got to do it all

Oh, you don't want you don't want them on the north side no mom.

I don't want you to you know like

If we could slow them down to 5 miles an hour, let's slow them down.

Oh, they need to be slow.

That's what I'm saying.

Because

you're cutting them back like they're in a car.

Yeah, like the hell?

Why is it just everybody downtown safe?

There you go.

You know, we got stuff going on in the inner city and I'm sure there's stuff going on on the south side.

I don't hear about it.

I don't hear about it, but you know, you know, I'm trying to be fair and balanced with it.

Fair and balanced.

If we don't do it, we got to do it all.

Yeah, there it is.

We can't just.

say, okay, we're just gonna, because I'm mad because they can do that and they haven't talked about doing it in the inner city where we see a lot of recklessness going on.

It ain't everybody, but that minority group that are doing it, whether it be white, black, Hmong, Asian, Latino, whoever, slow your

ass down.

You know, if you slow it down, they're gonna be upset.

That's cool.

That's good.

I'm good with that.

I'm good with that.

I'm good with that.

I'm good with that.

Yeah, slow it down.

Speaking of situations like that, Bailey, there's, we talked about, I think maybe a couple of years ago, where I put in a clip where it's a gas station that's on Houghton and North.

Right.

And the proprietor and his staff.

They it showed the video of them being terrorized by these youth.

It wasn't no the white

hands.

The white.

What's

wrong?

I try not to get into what I try not to give in to that.

The acronym.

Yeah.

You're king of acronyms.

What are you talking about?

I know.

You OK?

Yeah.

Really?

But Bailey is stealth.

I need my gavel.

I need my gavel someone But anyway Employees at two Milwaukee gas stations speak out after weeks of thefts and a violent assault.

We've seen them assaulting even on Houghton in North, right?

at that gas station, they were beating these managers and
