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
the world's on fire.
No one seems to care It
Yeah
Yeah.
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
though.

I said me.
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 state.
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.
Fifteen 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.
Many e-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 theaters.
Maybe we build out the infrastructure first and then we bring scooters back in.
Jasmine Alderman 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.

What is your thoughts, Bailey?
You remember, I was just talking about these 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,
There's an exhilarating feeling but I think a designated area
Mm-hmm?
would probably work better or say for example You know because everybody sidewalks are 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 dangerous.
I mean it is dangerous
I mean?
and doing it on the sidewalks is dangerous and doing it unfortunately on the street
Mm-hmm?
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.
Truth in the Morning returns after this on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app, and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.
What about us, though?
You know what?
Let me just say this.
While it's fun to ride downtown, maybe this should just be designated zone That you can ride the man, but you know, but then but then the flip side of that is your people They come downtown They ain't gonna buy by that.
So you might just take them all the way out of downtown,
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?
Yeah.
So people who are traveling black, white, Hmong, 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
Yes or no make sure you participate in the poll 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.
And nurse are in Kowanda thought 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.
For me because if I wrote I was like came right on sidewalk to meet people to meet 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.
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
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 it.
I believe they would have to be penalized because of a minority group of people who abuse it.
Don't touch that dial.

Well,
there should be more regulations on e-scooters?
62% people say yes.
Now,
We can't just say, OK, we're just going to 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
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 the proprietor and his staff, they it showed the video of them being terrorized by these youth.
It wasn't no the
white hands.
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 and North.
Right.
That gas station, they were beating these.
uh managers and uh they were beating them down they were pulling out guns talking about yeah we gonna wait for y'all when y'all get off and they would be outside waiting and they would have to try to call the police just so they could leave the gas station now i'm talking about the owner the staff you know what i mean yeah that's crazy uh but the recklessness and and you heard the audio they're talking crazy
So I guess they moved on up to the west side.
Oh and It's crazy because We had talked about a story with Festus the black on an operated, you know car dealer
Yeah,
Xavier are we ready with that clip?
All right, so Okay, all right, so what we'll do is we'll bring that clip to you After the break take care of these bills and we find out who's gonna be late or not on the other side You are listening obviously to truth in the morning

We were talking, it's truth in the morning.
I'm the legendary home of Blu along with my girl, Bailey Coleman.
We're inside the American Family Insurance Studio in the heart of downtown at the Avenue.
Before we went to break, we were talking about the fact that there's a gas station, well, two of them.
Yeah.
That are being, I don't know, what would we call it, terrorized?
Yeah.
Clearly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you'll be able to make your own judgment.
And we do have our MKE standing by, but we're going to play this clip and then we'll go to our True Talk text lines at 833-212.
1017 and get your truth on what you saw or what you heard here and we'll go from there.
Xavier, you got that clip ready?
It's tough video to watch an alleged assault at a Milwaukee gas station from over the weekend.
The owners reached out to TMJ for saying this assault is just the latest incident after more than a week of thefts.
by these same people.
Brenda Jones spoke with two employees who are trying to raise awareness.
Surveillance video shows what appears to be theft of thousands of dollars over the course of more than a week.
This all happening at two different gas stations, the BP on 91st and Brown Deer, and the Sit Go on 94th and Brown Deer.
Both are owned by the same people.
Yeah, take the, yeah, yeah.
Every day, night clock, eight o'clock, every day.
On
Sunday, it rose to this.
You can see multiple people barge into the cashier's protected area, assault this worker and steal several items from behind the counter, including cigars.
We have blurred faces as the people might be minors and MPD has yet to say if they are wanted for a crime.
I met the employee who was assaulted.
He agreed to talk to me if I didn't show his face and he says he's worried about more violence.
My life is dangerous, so very no good here.
Are you scared for your safety?
Yeah, safety, yeah.
The people who run the gas station tell me it's been going on for over a week and it continued Tuesday even after the assault.
It's impacting me a lot.
I mean, our employees, everybody's scared to work here.
Several mass individuals coming into the 94th and Brown Deer location stealing merchandise.
One even wheeling an entire snack rack out of the store.
The gas station manager says on Tuesday they filed two police reports.
MPD tells TMJ for their investigating the incident and they will quote conduct extra patrol in the area and their community partnership unit will be reaching out to the owner to develop a strategic course of action and enforcement.
The community also should know what's going on, you know, at their gas station, you know, the one they come to.
So maybe they can help us catch these guys.
They probably know some of them.
Employees hope that raising awareness can help stop these acts and get more police attention to the issue.
In Milwaukee, Brennan Jones, TMJ4 News.
Crazy, crazy.
Okay,
so let me just, can I just say this real quick?
Yeah, go ahead.
Y'all want to know why our businesses are shutting down?
and why nobody wants to do business in certain areas and all the things, right?
This is where we're at with this.
This is what's going on, and this is why people don't, and when they set up businesses, see, because look, we always talk about people of certain races coming in, setting up businesses, whether they're beauty supply stores or whatever, in our areas, right?
We're mad about that.
But nobody else wants to deal with this.
They're dealing with it right now.
But it sounds like anything could happen.
And in this area, those gas stations could shut down because they're tired of it.
And once somebody loses their life to it, right?
That's right.
Then that's when they start shutting down and doing all the things.
And that's why we have all these empty buildings.
And that's why these people are closing their businesses.
You
want to know why?
Look at this.
Don't say you can't figure it out.
You don't understand why.
Why Midtown is empty because folk go in there and act foolish and they don't want to deal with it anymore because once somebody loses their life or a situation goes super bad, it's not worth it.
Right.
So that's why you have so don't act like you don't know you can't understand why Whatever look at this very situation These business owners are struggling through right now.
They're calling the police.
They're doing all the things But you come in there you act foolish you steal from them You you know, it's not even there's no good way to steal anything But you ain't got to wreck the whole place and start injuring people
It's enough that you're intimidating to them coming in doing it anyway, right now You're threatening people's lives over some little debbies or whatever you
took out.
You know
what I mean
a whole rat a whole
rat a whole rat
Yeah,
a little Debbie we don't love you like that
that part
you're gonna clog up your arteries and do all the things
No lies detected, Bailey.
We're going to go to Al, MKE.
Thank you very much for being patient on our true text lines, 833-212-1017.
Great morning, love you, appreciate you.
Al, what's your truth?
My truth is if you get rid of all that low income from over there, that's on the 90s, the Woodlands, all the way up to like 98 and around there.
All those issues will go.
They're coming from all that low income and section eight over there.
If you, even if you go through this, you will see the mentality that they live by.
You got to get a flush all that out.
You got to do a colonoscopy on certain neighborhoods.
They'll do just fine.
And it's thunder like you get $9,500 for moving there.
I think that'll be a great place to start.
But if I was a business owner, I'll just shut it down and let them rock.
That's all the things you can do, and we can't keep using poverty for people actions.
If you decide to sit on your tail and collect a welfare check, a disability check, or put your keys on rhythm because they ain't considered a debt to the H-25, that's what you're going to get.
Either shut that business down.
or get rid of all that low income.
That's why we would never get to have no businesses.
And that's why housing prices would continue to plummet, especially for the homeowners.
Get rid of the low income, because there ain't none of them parents who's going to come.
And the parents know they come home with all them free bags.
Right.
Right.
Right.
With the lazy eyes.
And y'all have yourself a good day.
All right.
Thank you,
Al.
Well, he said the lazy.
Yes.
And they
coming home with the rap
snacks.
That is a good idea that Mr. B had.
But anyway,
yeah, but you know, and you know, here, here's the thing.
And I see, you know, some people, like even on our YouTube page, Jasmine Good said, honestly, the second amendment would take care of that easily.
Now.
I hear that.
I understand that.
But here's the other problem, Bailey, that some people don't like to talk about, but I talk about it all the time.
Had those gas station owners and workers Done anything To any of those youth and that's why they had they faces blurred because You know you could it's easy to assume but I could kind of tell they were younger.
Yeah, they weren't necessarily 17 and 18 years
So again, when they're young, they're not chart.
That's why you have to blur their faces and all of that.
That's it.
It's something that you have to do on a legality standpoint, right?
But and so the video they have is not blurred, but they, you know, because they may be, that's why they did what they did.
But here's an issue that I have and I've been having this with some years here in my city.
Okay.
If the store owners or workers.
Had had done anything to defend themselves.
Oh, yeah.
Boycott them.
Shut them down.
Yeah.
Look what they do with our kids.
Right.
So to hell with what the kids and teens and toys or us adults are doing to them.
Right.
Y'all can do what y'all want to them.
Yeah.
But if y'all dare take any action towards them.
Yeah.
Oh, now everybody.
Right.
We got coalitions going up there now.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Look how they treat our kids.
Yeah.
So did y'all not see the video?
Did y'all not see them getting their ass whooped?
Yeah.
Did y'all not see any of that?
But now we got a, we got a certain percentage of our community that will go up there talking about how wrong the gas station is.
Right.
And I have problems with that.
Yeah.
When I see like, so what are y'all not seeing that I just saw?
So are you saying that just because, and I don't care if you're foreign or whatever.
That wrong is wrong wrong is wrong and and do you it's some people that believe that they should be protested if they End up trying to defend their property listen y'all insured.
This is what I hear.
Yeah, they got insurance Yeah, all they got to do is use the insurance.
You don't want to use your insurance when somebody steal your damn car There it is when they mess up your car and you got to pay this high-ass deductible
Yeah,
you don't want to say that's what when somebody ends up losing a life now You want to go to a and throw a go fund me up?
No, cuz I like to tell them same damn people That's what insurances for
yeah, if
you want to use it then let's use it now Yeah, why we got to help you bury somebody that might have been a menace to our society exactly now you want us to help bury this person No, that's what insurance is for Now if they ended up snatching one of your sons and daughters up
Yep.
Look at, look at how they did my baby, my baby.
Now all of a sudden when we asking where the mother, where the father, where the person in charge.
Yeah,
we don't see him.
But now all of a sudden they come out the damn woodwork.
Right.
Now they're going to be on all the channels and this my baby and he don't bother no, she, she, she on the honor roll and she on to this and I don't want to hear none of that sugar honey.
Get your life together.
Yeah.
And these are just my opinions.
Because I stand on it.
I stand
on it.
I'm with you.
Because
it happens daily.
I've seen it happen time and time again.
If the business decides to stand up against these reckless and ruthless people that are doing this.
Yeah.
They wrong.
Right.
We got a bet.
We got a
bet.
I don't know what to say.
You're
right.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, we we coming up on some bills, but true nation, we need to talk about this.
We need to talk about
this.
We got some stuff over here on true talk tech sign.
We can get to two eight, three, three, two, one, two, 10, 17.
You know, I mean, I agree with you and all these folks.
That want to you know be on TV or whatever talk about my baby this blah blah that Where was you when he was wrecking shop when they was wrecking shop in this store?
Mm-hmm, you know Where was you and the thing is?
Your baby go pay right if they don't get caught with this one They don't get caught with the next one or the one after that it don't matter.
Yep
Let him keep going.
Yep.
And if anything as a before we take care of these bills
Um, I'm seeing a lot of people on our YouTube page saying, Hey, they shouldn't be blurring their faces out.
What I would say is if you're a parent or a guardian and you know, you saw that news footage, you know, you saw it here on the truth, one on one seven FM.
Go up to the gas station.
I believe that the gas station will have no problem.
The gas stations, because it's two of them that they're terrorizing.
I believe that they will have no problem with showing you the unblurred version so you can recognize is that your son?
Is that your nephew?
Is
that your grandson
or
granddaughter or whoever it is?
I don't think they're gonna say no, I can't show it to you.
They don't show it to you, but a responsible adult.
You feel what I'm saying?
Go up there.
I don't think they're gonna turn you
down.

I'm the legendary home blow along with my girl Bailey Coleman talking about the destruction that is going on at a couple of gas stations on brown deer.
Here
I mean some of these gas stations y'all don't understand in this area Okay This is the only way for some people to get any type of groceries because It's probably there used to be a pick-and-save over there
there
isn't all these probably
Three or four miles down the street beyond that The pick and save is probably is on Green Bay Road So that's quite a distance for you if you're trying to get groceries because pick and save from this particular area is probably two or three miles down the street And there's not all sidewalks and all that it's not convenient.
It's not a convenient walk or anything like that at
all
And for all intents and purposes, Brown Deer Road is kind of like highway-ish, right?
So, you know, for them to go in there and in the other gas station on 94th, it's just ridiculous.
You know, it is.
And again, we all talk about how there are these food deserts.
And, you know, there's not...
There's just not a lot of businesses over there.
It's not popping like it used to be when Northridge was around.
So it's a lot of fast food restaurants, that kind of deal, but it's just not what you would have an area be.
So for them to go and...
Do this to this business is ridiculous and then we all sit and talk about how we don't have these businesses and our communities aren't thriving
it's
because of stuff like this and I was right in that there is a ton of Low-income housing in that area
correct
now
You know, there used to be a lot of auto dealerships over in that area, all on 76th Street and down over in there.
There used to be like a Hyundai dealership and all kinds of stuff on Brown Deer Road, all in that area, all gone.
Festus is the only one left over there.
Right.
And that is because what?
Because car theft a few years back was so ridiculous.
You had.
One dealership just off of 76 and it was like a 76 and it's not good hope but more you know on the on the brown deer roadside
Yep, yep, yep, cuz all along.
Yes, 76.
Yeah
They just went in one of the dealerships and just Started taking there was a group of
the car keys
and they got the car keys and feet and 10 15 cars just rolled out.
Yep

Like you
were watching where it was gone in 60 seconds
or so.
Yeah, a bunch of, it was a whole group of people that just went in there and just took cars right out, probably 10, 15 cars right off the lot.
How you gonna steal that many cars?
So when we we talk about this and we ask well, why aren't our areas thriving?
Why this why that it's because of stuff like this Who wants to put a business there?
Well, he got all this kind of drama and trauma going on
that part
you can't oh, yeah, they got insurance Yeah, but who's gonna want to use their insurance right and then come back the next day do it happen
again
and
and again and again people just coming in doing whatever they want to do come on y'all
and anybody that knows anything about insurance uh you they're going to drop you or they're going to increase your yeah you get what i'm saying like come on like that ain't cool to just be like well that's what insurance is for that's why i say when people say that you know it frustrates me but it i throw it black in their face yeah when i see them make a post about something be like well that's what insurance is for

Yeah, what do you tackle first if you want your kids if you want your toys or us adults then you better put some checking on them because
They're as listen if you watching our YouTube All I'm seeing up and down the YouTube page is second amendment Second amendment.

And then, and then what?

In that part.
Whatever happened to it being honorable to just, it being a good thing, to just live a good life.
You know what I mean?
Live well, be happy, do your thing.
You know, you're not supposed to go to jail.
You're not.

I don't know who told these kids.
Listen, when you see somebody go to jail, what are your relatives or something?
You're supposed to realize that you're not supposed to go to jail.
Bailey, unfortunately, and Kathy on our True Talk text lines, 833-212-1017, I see you.
Bailey, it has been seen as a badge of honor
Yeah,
yeah, your father, you know, he went to jail.
Your older brother, he in jail.
You don't have to say
your sister.
Not to repeat
spin that spin that.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's crazy.
Kathy on our truth.
Text lines.
Great morning.
Love you.
Appreciate you.
You hear the conversation.
I don't know if you were able to check out that video or at least hear the audio to it.
What's your truth?
Okay, here's
where we're going.
There was a situation to where as the gas stations on 91st and 94th and Brown Deer Road here in Milwaukee.
There have been young teens and some maybe have been we're older going in their
daily terrorizing them.
They physically assaulted them the whole night and they even after they do that, they keep coming black and they the store owners, well, the gas station owners are like, we don't know what to do because they keep coming black.
So we're talking about theft.
So we ended up equating it to if somebody ends up breaking into your apartment and steals a 70 inch TV.
And nobody saw him walking down the street.
It's probably in that same damn apartment building, an apartment up under yours, or right down the hall from you.
So that's where that part came up.
Okay, that happened to one of my apartment units.
I happened to be in the building when someone started the TV.
They took it upstairs and people moving stuff in.
Somebody kept taking it.
When they were gone that day and we pressed charges.
You're going to these businesses like this and stuff.
You have to limit the amount of people who come in, even doing non-school time like nature does.
Limit the amount of people that are being there at one time.
Or either just open up the window or make a window or tell people getting gas.
We're only serving gas right now.
We're not doing anything else.
You can't control them from coming in and put a sign up there.
You got to pay gas outside or use a window you can go to and you don't have to even go inside.
You may lose a little money, but you have to limit the amount of people coming into the store like that.
And they know you're not going to do much to them or touch them.
But I'm going to tell you something.
A lot of people have been messing with people and touching them.
They shoot them.
The parents want to sue.
They want to sue for the inadequacies and the unskilled of themselves as a parent and the unskilled as a child.
But you don't have the right to shoot anybody.
I just blocked them from coming
in.
We see you still there, but you dropped out.
Alright, oh We got to get ready to take care of some bills anyway, but you know we see her cause still active as she dropped out so she lost the signal We got to get ready to take care of some bills true nation.
We still want to hear from you What's the result?
Well, I think if we took a poll they'd say second amendment
And I ain't mad at you.
I understand.
Yep.
Uh, but we got to take care of some bills.

Because you don't believe in it, but yet you're tearing off all these red, white and blue fireworks.
You know what?
Speaking of which, you know what, y'all?
Let me just, can we just have this discussion?
Go ahead.
Yeah.
There's no need to shoot your guns off.
There's plenty of fireworks going on.
Just don't shoot your guns, okay?
Oh, I know, I know, I know what you're thinking.

Well, it was in Oshkosh though, but it's the story we were going to talk about yesterday, uh, where police seized $29,000 worth of illegal fireworks in Oshkosh.
Yeah.
Uh, Oshkosh police said they seized more than 600 illegal fireworks worth about $29,000 from a fireworks stand on Saturday, June 27.
According to a post on the department's Facebook page, police inspected the fireworks stand and found workers were selling illegal fireworks out of a separate trailer.
Wow.
That was parked away from the actual fireworks.
Wow.
The Oscars Police Department made contact with employees who admitted to selling the fireworks from the trailer to customers in violation of our local ordinance.
The post said.
The illegal fireworks were seized by law enforcement.
Police say they were working with the city's attorney's office to review possible violations.
And listen, regardless of what some of you think, it is illegal for you to be setting off fireworks within the city limits here in Milwaukee, unless you are at a licensed and permitted celebration that is being done by one of the county parks or something like that.
Or are you watching the drones down at the right front?
Right?
You know, but yeah, it is illegal and there will.
It's so smoky.
Listen, you ain't going to.
You don't think we in a fog machine.
Try driving down the street.
I'm so glad that the wedding reception that I have to do is further out.
Wow.
So I won't have to deal with that part and drive like home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But be careful because these children are out here setting out these fireworks.
We always hear about the injuries that are going on.
It's also still going to be very hot and humid.
Some of the children they're talking about, the doctors are warning parents that have children that are asthmatic.
It is kicking off the asthma.
Bailey, I don't know if you go down.
No, you probably don't.
You say Shae Fu Fu.
What if you go down Capitol Drive or up Capitol Drive?
You probably don't go as often as I do.
But if something happened with the seagulls, they are dropping life.
birds.
I was gonna say fly their birds.
Listen,
they're dropping.
Bailey,
probably the heat.
Yeah, I want to say that.
But you know, I want to say it's the heat.
But I just noticed when I was on the lower, what they call a low end capital, I ain't seen no damn dead seagulls.
But after I got across 20th capital heading west.
On each side of the street in medians.
So I don't know if it's that they just fell Because I know the heat has something to do with it in my
opinion,
right?
But I think that they already they also probably were eating gummies that people were dropping Yeah, the TAC kind of gummies.
Oh, I think they've been eating the gummy they've been eating the food that's been given some of the Community food poisoning and they just throw it out and this the seagulls they like
Food, food, food is like finding Nemo mine, mine, mine, mine.
Right.
And I think it's accommodation is that.
And then it was the heat and they like literally like seem like they falling out the sky.
You go up capital, turn to go down that little 35th street curve around there where I think it used to be a mini quad graphic center or something over there.
Right.
I don't know what it is now, but you see seagulls just like, like, like I'm not, I'm not even playing.
I've done a live with it.
Ah, wow.
And they out there.
They just lay in one block.
It was about eight to 10 of them in just one block.
Let me tell you something.
It could be.
There is a type of medication that's over the counter.
See, I grew up with seagulls in Seattle, all down by the water, everything.
And there was this one over the counter medication that you could give to them.
and they would explode immediately and die.
And I'm not going to say what it is because I don't want
people to go out and feed them.
And that could be
what, but.
There could be people that know that and that that could be what's happening.
I don't know.
I don't know if they only electrical wires.
I don't know if it's 5G.
I don't know what the hell it is.
But all I know is
probably the heat though.
Yeah, that's what I'm going.
It's probably the heat added with whatever the hell they eat.
Yeah.
It's crazy because Seagulls you you mostly see around water and in Seattle there's water everywhere everywhere you go.
So but there's a lot of dry land here.
So it's kind of crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Seagulls is out of here.
And then I seen like it was like a seagull line where it's like they weren't even coming.
Across it was like this warehouse fence up.
Mm-hmm.
They were flying all happy over there perching on top of the building But they wouldn't come across to get to where he was on Capitol So I don't know if they to figured it out or they having a funeral for they loved ones or whatnot Somebody said it's a fight.
You know how people be claiming streets
We gotta we we out of here for the weekend
Yeah, I didn't even realize this is great You know what y'all talk to your children,
please
Talk to you talk to the young people You know and get in their ear about this, you know stop all this and If they're dumb enough to go before they'll be probably back over at at the gas station
So you could just meet them over there and let them know this ain't it.
This ain't what you supposed to be doing that part.
All right Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend.
Mm-hmm safe.
Please.
Yes.
I do good and You know Ani and neighbor check on everybody make sure they stay cool
that part please stay hydrated stay hydrated the heat wave continues
yes
even though we're expecting some rain today is still going to be hot and humid uh Xavier thank you very much for a great week
