She popped

in during the Sherwin show

during one

Oh, really?

She came in on a rant.

Yeah, she she enjoyed it.

It was as a rant about women and how much we love them and how much we can't live without them.

And, you know, she she agreed.

She gave him a thumbs up.

Oh, wow.

So do they have his bonnet on when he did that?

No, no, I didn't call in at that time.

He called in after she left.

Oh, that's

not when the bonnet comes.

Oh, that's normally when the bonnet comes out.

I'll see.

I didn't know that was when the bar.

I've never seen the bonnet.

Yeah, it's normally it's normally pops on during like the middle of the second hour

or

the beginning of the third hour.

That's normally when Al calls.

Okay.

Sometimes Al, you know, you know, he goes on his classic rants and

You know, it inspires him to throw on the bonnet.

I don't know why, but okay.

That's his inspiration,

huh?

Yeah.

Are you going to show the people your bandages from your recovery?

You're covering from the alligator attack?

No, I wasn't dealing with alligator attacks.

I don't know what you were talking about when I was gone.

However, I was gone a couple of days.

I had jury duty.

Y'all heard me talk about it on the show.

a few days prior to or whatever.

Remember when we had the judge in here?

What day was that?

Um, I can't remember.

It

was one of those days.

It was in September.

It's the latter part of September.

She came in, uh, because September was a jury appreciation month.

And so, um, uh, yeah.

So I had jury duty, which, which was cool with me because, um, I ended up.

Getting I had to go in right but I didn't get on a jury.

So that's why I sit before you And I was okay with that

or the cases that you were potentially going to be

I wasn't I didn't even get that far.

I was just in the little lobby hall thing

Oh, you didn't

even go to know because they did they did it backwards.

I was talking to With someone at my other job, right?

And they were saying, oh, you know, they're probably, you know, because your last name is C, they'll probably go A through C or something like that.

And you'll get it.

Watch.

But guess what they did?

They went Z through Q. So I didn't even, I didn't even get in.

Maybe they were just doing it backwards that day.

I guess so.

But it worked out for me both days.

It worked out for me.

You know, I kind of wish, not really wish, but.

it'd be interesting to sit on like a huge federal case like one of these drug cartel cases or this a famous murder case that would be imagine

you know i know someone that sat on the um the case of the who's it the the the uncle and the nephew

You know who I'm talking about, right?

They kidnapped a reporter.

Yeah, they did.

You know who I'm talking about, right?

She said

everything.

Yeah, Stephen Avery.

Well,

you can remember that.

I never watched it.

Yeah, I didn't watch it.

I wasn't that involved with it.

But I remember it was I remember that much about the case.

I pay that much attention to it.

But she yeah, yeah.

Yeah,

I imagine being selected on the Jeffrey Dahmer case.

That was that would have been crazy, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, but she was on the yeah, she was on the Steven Avery case and so you know, she could talk about it and that and we didn't you know, she was gone for a minute, you know She was just not a part of our world because I used to work with it So crazy.

Yeah, right.

That's all we out minutes walk.

Yeah.

Hey, I've been on a jury before though But it wasn't like it was a drunk driving case.

Oh, that's not really cool.

No, it was my hometown too, but listen

like

I wasn't there overnight technically so I think I can get out of

that at night you should get out of it

yeah cuz I was literally parked there for I mean literally in front of my there's no sign is saying you can't park there literally you can during the day you can park there all day long

But with overnight parking, aren't you supposed to park on opposite sides of the street, depending on what day it is?

I don't know.

But my car was literally parked there for 45 minutes.

That's not overnight parking.

Well, clearly they felt it was

because they got to mark you, then they got to come back and all that stuff like that.

They got a quarter to make, buddy.

Thank you all for chiming in and checking us out this morning on another edition of Truth in the Morning.

Again, I was telling you earlier, my girl Vivian King, we have a lot to talk about.

Vivian will be in later this morning.

Uh, we have a lot to talk about as well.

You know what?

I got to tell you Xavier.

MPS always has a lot going on.

And while, while we were gone, there was some things that y'all know, we got to chime in a little bit about this whole, uh, now we kind of heard about this whole teacher thing and this imposter teacher thing at Rufus K wheat.

Heard about it a few days before we even had some audio from but we the audio was so bad y'all We can't we can't share it.

We couldn't put it up So we were kind of waiting for the story to break how many days get that was like a few you know I

was like, um, I felt like that was I mean time all these shows blend together.

Yeah, kind of yeah,

that was probably like Probably a week and a half ago

Yeah, and so the story broke what a couple days ago or something like that

Probably just something like over the weekend

and it actually happened back in September, which was interesting to me Studio net okay anyway A woman accused is accused of posing as a Milwaukee public school substitute teacher Going into a classroom be writing students in September.

So it did happen in September now

Milwaukee County District Attorney office charge 23 year old Amy Jones With impersonating a public employee and for counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions Them kids over in Rufus King that heard some of this before what I heard on the audio was pretty bad But come on now, but anyway Court records show that she is scheduled to appear.

Well, she appeared on this past Tuesday

before the court and what we have now for you is an update.

Are we ready Xavier?

What we have for you now is an update from when she appeared in court yesterday, yesterday morning.

We ready to go?

All right, here we go y'all.

Here's the update.

A Milwaukee high school now says procedures were not followed that led to a woman with a history of mental illness posing as a substitute teacher.

Prosecutors say she pretended to be a substitute for two periods before being escorted off school grounds.

As Bill Misten explains, only to be arrested days later.

On Tuesday, 23-year-old Amy Jones appeared in court, charged with six felonies, accused of impersonating a substitute teacher and making lewd and profane comments to students at Rufus King International High School.

This Jones manages bipolar disorder and was experiencing an acute manic episode caused by delayed home prescription delivery.

Court filings say Jones told police she snuck in with students on September 24th.

went through security and walked around the school.

Filing say Jones went to the office where she overheard staff talking about the substitute teaching company said she was a substitute with the company and signed a sign-in sheet.

MPS says its investigation is still ongoing but in an email to Rufus King family's Tuesday the school said Jones went through security screening but the office didn't follow proper protocol to validate that Jones was a substitute.

A check the school says should happen every

every time.

Filing say students told investigators Jones used profane and lewd language, racial slurs made sexual comments and also organized students by race and gender.

She also asked if students had a vape or weed because the class was lame and annoying.

Students later went to staff who escorted Jones off school property before the start of the third class.

Records show Milwaukee police arrested Jones five days later here at Granite Hills Hospital in West Alice.

a mental health facility.

Jones has no criminal record.

She voluntarily admitted herself for inpatient psychiatric care after this incident.

A court commissioner gave Jones a $5,000 signature bond and when released have no contact with the school and students in Milwaukee.

Bill Mistin, Fox six news.

So another edition of truth in the morning on one on one seven the truth Bailey Coleman and my guy Homer blow and Yeah This is a first-life show in a few days the shout out to our in kawanda and air it is him.

Yes Me and Homer been we've both been on a vacation of sorts except I was still working Shout out to Jasmine good and she wanted me to let you know

Xavier that on the east side of Milwaukee, you don't have an overnight parking pass on your car overnight parking expires I think at 6 a.m.

Each morning Monday through Friday.

I Constantly get tickets parking in front of my apartment to shake my head She didn't the tickets to this your first time getting the ticket, right?

Well, yeah for something like this, but it is I mean it's over night parking

Pass really only costs like twenty five thirty dollars for a year.

So it's really no excuse for you

on the east

side.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I

remember it was like it was that much and it was like monthly or something like that.

Maybe it was ten dollars.

Yes.

Like it's like it's probably like 40 bucks 30 bucks for the year.

Oh yeah.

Hope for the past.

I mean that's cheap honestly.

Yeah.

Because the ticket is twenty five

dollars.

The ticket is $25.

You want to take the time to go downtown and get the ticket?

I mean, get it off?

$25?

That

crucial?

$25?

I

feel that strong about it because I feel like if I'm only there, if I'm not even there for an hour, I was there for maybe 45 minutes.

No reason to give me a ticket.

Well, maybe you and Jasmine can go down together and maybe you can be her attorney too.

No,

she got she says Jasmine says she got some good.

She got some good good jazz.

Jasmine Gooden says she got some good tickets over.

Well, well, she just heard what I said, you know, if you get that many tickets, you need to see to go up to the and get the and get to the police station.

And yes, give it up, turn

it loose.

Go get the go get the sticker

with inflation is probably $50 now.

But the last time I had to get one because I haven't had to have because I have parking in my, you know,

Right.

I haven't had to, you know, worry about that.

But

okay, it's just sometimes you like to park outside.

Yeah, it's nice and convenient.

He's parking right in front.

I get you.

I should do the same thing.

I should do the same thing.

All right, give back to our conversation.

We we let you see the clip.

Our folks at Fox six shout out to Kim Murphy and Mary Stoker Smith and my girls.

But yeah,

This whole deal, the update on the young lady, Amy, who went in and made like she was an instructor, a teacher, lied about it.

Well, it turns out she's got mental health issues.

But my question is, okay, because I have a lot of questions that I'm sure you do too.

What if it would have turned out differently?

I mean clearly she melded she melted in with the student she They say it's a prior student there So that was alleged I don't know in this new information if they debunked that or whatever but the the the initial reports where she's a former student of Rufus King and

So she went in with the students, overheard them talking, and then decided that she was going to fake being a substitute teacher.

Then supposedly what happened is another teacher, she filled out the paperwork, another teacher took her into the classroom, put up some kind of a work board that y'all seem to have here in Wisconsin.

Were you educated here?

A smart board, a street.

A smart board?

Yeah.

Yeah, we had those in elementary school.

Okay.

So they told you had across the street and stuff like that.

Oh, I thought you were talking about like the smart board, like in the classroom.

Right, in the classroom.

Who's the interactive?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I teach you how to walk across the street.

This is what I heard about.

In high school?

It's in elementary school.

High school's gotta be different, right?

They gotta be looking.

Anyway, so she goes into the classroom with another teacher.

They set up to hold the whole deal and The teacher waits for her or whatever they sit around and then the teacher leaves and then that's when she starts all the craziness to carry now I Just want to know

So the other teacher didn't like wait for her to start the lessons So she knew she was a teacher because actually for my understanding to be a substitute teacher here in the state of Wisconsin all you have to do is have a bachelor's degree And it could be in any field.

This is what I've heard I don't know that to be true teachers chime in I want to know to be a substitute teacher

All you have to do is have your bachelor's degree, right?

But anyway, nonetheless, she did not prove herself.

I mean, I guess the other teacher just assumed that she knew what she was doing, right?

You know.

And then I have all sorts of questions about what is she?

I mean, OK, so she was arrested later on.

So I want to know what she was wearing and what she looked like when she got into school if she was blending in with the students.

I just feel like there was a whole bunch of areas where they fell short.

It wasn't just them checking her ID, I guess.

I don't know what their procedure is to check in, but they didn't do it.

Other than she did fill out some paperwork, but what was it?

I just have questions.

Y'all don't have questions?

833-212-1017.

Our truth talk text slide.

Xavier, what do you

think?

Now What I'm gonna say is very anecdotal, but I do know a couple of teachers that are currently teaching in the NPS system and From what I understand is very disorganized Teachers are overwhelmed with the dysfunction with like the mass like dysfunction that's going on within the NPS system so

Am I surprised that a fake teacher was able to sneak into the school and trick another teacher that's probably like has a thousand other things going on?

Um, no, I'm not that surprised at all.

No,

no, I'm not actually

already co-founded from our YouTube channel said my question is, did she get paid?

I don't think she was around long enough to collect a paycheck.

They caught up with her that day because the students left the class and went and snitched.

Well, I mean, that's, you know, they told on what she deserved, you know, I mean, that shouldn't be happening.

But what if she was had been more of a dangerous person?

Well, it could

have turned out totally differently, right?

It would have been national news.

Probably the worst person.

Yeah, I mean, she could have been the way they let her roll through.

And my other thing is, okay.

So she has mental health issues.

She's I think they said she's bipolar or something like that.

But

Are you smart enough to go?

Oh They're talking about the flower company Let me just say I work for them and then that was a lot of thinking to be doing if you have a whole lot of mental health issues Isn't it a whole lot of plotting?

I mean it did sound like she planned a whole lot before She got in there but

To think on the spot like that.

I'm gonna go be a substitute teacher.

Is that Was that was that too much?

Was that a lot to be having?

I'm just confused.

I'm like, well, how could she do all of this and get away with it and nobody else think hey She's not with us.

She's not a part of the crew You know, I I'm just I'm just trying to find out

I'm just trying to see what the deal is, you know?

Is she?

Was she just extra smart or because she's Okay, let's go to miss Nikki and see what she got to say.

Good morning miss Nikki How are you and thanks for checking out truth in the morning?

What do you think about what's your truth about this situation because I'm confused.

It's a lot going on here

Good morning Bailey and thank you so much for taking my call and you are absolutely right.

It is a lot going on, but I do think this speaks to a larger issue, right?

It lets you know that the district is desperate.

the fact that an individual can just walk in, right,

and go

into a classroom without being checked in, which is actually, you know, when you really think about it, you know, there's always so many substitutes.

So it's the norm for somebody to come in and go to their classroom.

It lets you, to me, this says a couple of things.

One, it lets you know that these schools are overwhelmed.

And on top of it, King is supposed to be one of the premier high schools, right?

So

you

would think that

more things will be in place and measures will have been taken in sure that the individuals who are coming to teach the higher performing students are prepared to do so.

Right, so that's

one, but I

think it lets you know that the district, the district most definitely is desperate.

And what concerns me the most about this one, I wonder if it would have been the same if it was a school that wasn't predominantly African-American.

That's one

is in two.

Why is it such a struggle to get people to want to teach our kids?

We really have to stop and think about because they say how many how many teachers called in eight?

Eight teachers

called in in one day.

Yes, OK, for that.

that's alarming

yeah

calling in are they burnt out like what's really going on and so until we're able to stop and really come to a conclusion or decide what we're going to do about the education of our kids in the city of Milwaukee we're going to find more more I would say outlandish things like this happening right because there is a there is such a struggle for people who want to teach our kids and we have to stop and really think about why

Right?

Like why?

Why is it such a desperation and why are teachers calling in like this?

What's really happening?

What's really going on?

Because they all just gotta raise.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you know, maybe it's not enough money.

You will that part too.

You would think though this is King, right?

This is King, right?

So you would expect that at a school like King, like the behavior level is better, you know, folks

are

getting along, you know, and it should be, you know, one of those situations where it's, it's just a better situation for a teacher coming to teach.

Okay, you know what?

Al is on the line.

We're going to get to Alan just a few minutes after.

Thank you for calling in, we appreciate you.

You're checking out another edition of Truth in the Morning on 101.7 FM.

Milwaukee's Black Talk Mealtown, what's good?

Okay, so listen.

We've been talking about this situation with this imposter teacher this morning.

I know we were out for a couple days, so we kind of, but we wanted to definitely let you have your say about it.

And on the Truth Talk of Techside right now is Al.

Al, good morning.

What's your truth about this whole deal?

Well, my truth is if this was a hundred and thirty second in Burla, she wouldn't have made it past the front desk.

Number number two, I think it's happening because it's dealing with majority black schools.

Number three, the teachers have a high burnout rate because nobody is holding their.

students accountable, along with the teachers a number four, you got a bunch of white people that sitting on a school board who don't give a damn, that's effing up the money like they got a bad dope problem.

So this is why NPS is all messed up.

I personally feel if you had a lot of black people on the school board,

I

don't think all this is happening.

This is happening because you got a lot of white people who don't care about black kids.

Because if you go out to Wapatoza, Brookfield or go deep down in the valley,

she

wouldn't have made it past the security.

Yeah.

What I said, what's your monkey ass doing up here?

But because it's King.

They should all go on and let her through.

And you know, King is the same.

Is this the same school where the white teacher was taking back shots from the boys in the gym and buying them Jordan is my neck, my back.

Oh, I don't know.

Do you recall anything like that, Xavier?

That is true.

That was King.

That was happening again.

Yes.

Oh, come on, y'all.

We got to do better.

This is supposed to be our premier high school.

There's not premier no more when you got people on the board who don't give a damn Now change the zip code and change the color of the kids I tell you a beer bug in a roach wouldn't make it up to Steve So they would have been sprayed with liquid like a tray and ray before they test that first step.

Have a good one.

All right, I love you Yes, I know Jasmine Jazz West said I love Al me too.

Well, he's in line I went to school in Brookfield and that would not have happened.

No, I went to

school in the suburbs as well.

That's you know I'm from elementary school and it was in another state but I'll tell you none of that none of that would have made it through and I think you know what I don't know who they have working in their office who's in charge of you know signing substitute teachers in but I bet they put more way more priority on it now they don't be I mean you're not gonna be it you probably can't breathe up a king right now

You can't probably parents having a hard time getting in now Because you can't you cannot I'm just saying they're inspecting everything now.

They got to

Well, they had

the teacher

incident.

They had this incident.

Yeah,

they seem pretty lax.

I mean, and you know what since we're here That ain't the only school we talk about got ties to keep this I Don't know what's going on.

What is that Bradley Tech?

Is that is that what?

Oh, yeah, that's

the school Bradley Tech.

Yes,

so they got

they got adults coming up to the school pistol whipping kids at the school allegedly supposedly but we got a video of it.

This is this is probably the craziest thing I've heard.

You know,

in days.

Was it another student?

Or was it an actual adult?

Well, we can play the video and find

out.

All right, let's play the video.

We find out you guys we got to talk about this.

Here we go.

Let's do it.

It's

shocking video originally posted at Tiktok

Monday.

Crazy these kids.

They're out of pocket right now.

The video now reshared on other social media platforms shows what looks to be two teenagers rolling up on a Bradley Tag High School student gun in hand outside the school.

The teen holding the gun is yelling expletives at the kid and then presses the gun up to his head.

That's exactly why she waits for me inside.

I pick her up right here, I beep, I make noise, and we leave.

Mariano Aponte was picking up his niece at Tech Tuesday.

When we talked, he had already seen the video.

Parents, protect your kids.

Make time for your kids.

Talk to them.

This could have been prevented.

That's too much.

I don't feel, I don't feel good.

Like nothing about that.

I just I don't know this crazy.

How does it make you feel coming out of school now that like that happened right here yesterday?

I feel scared, but I feel like I don't I don't know I'm a little scared.

Teen Kenton's a senior at Tech and says she was shocked to see the video.

I came because like guns over here like around this area like.

The incident

happened Monday after school in a letter sent to families.

Tax principal acknowledged the incident and says Milwaukee Police Department School resource officers arrived quickly to control the situation.

The teen with the gun pointed at him was a 15 year old tech student.

The others involved were not.

MPD says they're still looking for unknown suspects and are actively investigating.

MPD wouldn't confirm if this happened directly on tax property or how long it took for the SROs to respond.

I want to see us like stop the gun violence like it don't have to be always guns up and have to be

none of that.

In Milwaukee, I'm Chief Investigative Reporter Jenna Ray for TMJ4 News.

OK, I have questions about this too.

OK, because it says the security officers arrive quickly, right?

But they didn't catch nobody They

well they ran off

But they arrived quickly

Yeah, they heard the shouting and heard the song I mean, I'm not sure if they saw the pistols,

but I mean and These kids these days you're you're gonna go out and cause drama Right, you don't go out cause all kinds of you know craziness and you're gonna record it and post it

Well, you got to get that social media cloud so you can make your op look like a B

I Mean that's the dumbest thing in the world you go go out cut up Commit crimes and then you post your own crime you telling on yourself Somebody need to get that kid.

What do you mean all the rappers do it?

All the rappers now they kill the people then they make a song about it and then they post on social media and then when they go to trial for that murder all the social media posts and the rap songs that they made about killing the person are just put up in front of them so they're just trying to act out some of their Influences not saying that all rap music influences people to do bad things, but

a lot of that is not it's not legit Okay, a lot of that is not legit

you know rappers have fantasies that they may not probably shouldn't even you know go through making a song about if they were smart however you know these kids are right here just wilding out just doing whatever you know I'm sorry that was terminology for three or four years ago but they out here doing the most right and you're gonna go you're

You're going to go pistol whip another kid, which it seems like this was just a random 15 year old out here.

I don't know for shell.

They're probably beefing on internet.

They're probably you probably can go back to some kind of Facebook post or some kind of Instagram post that was this in the op.

And then he came up to the school to check the op on camera to put on there.

So all the people that, you know, they know them see that they're not a bee.

and their opposite.

I'm telling you what exactly why they did it and why they posted it.

Got you.

I get it.

I get it.

I'm just saying.

I mean, why?

What's your purpose?

You're telling on yourself.

You think you're getting clout, but what you're doing is getting a one-way ticket to jail.

Areca Wanda said that is horrible attack and disturbing.

Laurent Taylor said, but y'all don't want cops at the schools.

Who else could do something about this?

No.

I didn't say the way things are going now.

Uh, they need these officers at the school.

They absolutely need.

And you know what?

I was, I was questioning how quickly they got there and who they, you know, if they were able to, uh, capture anyone or anything like that.

But here's the reality.

They got there quicker than if there were no police officers there, right?

So there does need to be some security so you won't hear that from me.

Del max said they so stupid they tell on themselves you are right You know you are right How you go post your own crap they do it every day They do it every day.

How smart is that?

I'm telling you it's the culture.

They got to prove that they're not a bee and then when they do the stuff to the op

You

know, then they got to post it

Because you know, I don't know how familiar I with the rap stuff.

But you know, there's

a

rapper, there's a rapper in Chicago that was just killed two weeks ago named Q 50 at the gas station.

And shortly after he was killed, his ops were, you know, posting on social media talking about how they smoking on his

back

and

that, you

know, posting pictures of the crime scene, you know, of the shooting and stuff like that.

And then they're

making rap videos about it.

And you know then two weeks two days later or a day later that person gets killed in this cycle.

It's a cycle.

Yeah, it's definitely a cycle and a lot of times lesser known rappers You know these cats, you know what what kind of ticks me off sometimes is you know You hear stuff like that and then they'll say rapper so-and-so and I'm like who is that?

Ain't nobody ever heard of him, you know, I don't know if you know Xavier But I used to run the hip-hop station across the town for many years

Yeah,

I

mean

Yeah, that's what he told me, but you know what?

Homer, you know, Homer does Homer.

Yeah, I'm not too sure.

You know, we'll see I got a lot of stuff going on these days, you know

I'm gonna do Homer.

Homer's going to enjoy his vacation and I'm gonna let him do that.

So when he gets back, he gets back.

Are you missing the gavel?

No.

Oh, you're not.

But you notice I didn't bring my mugs in either.

Oh, why

not?

You know what?

I just happen to have one with me.

But I didn't pull it out this morning.

Because, you know, I haven't had a cup of coffee this morning.

I've been trying something a little different.

I don't know if it's gonna last.

Cause you know, I'm a real coffee drinker.

And I've been drinking, have you ever drank kombuja?

Uh, it tastes disgusting.

Well, it tastes like beer, doesn't it?

Well, beer tastes, I don't, I'm not a person, beer tastes disgusting to me as well.

So I don't really drink.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, you know, rare occasions I'll drink, you know, say if I'm out with a lady, you know, but.

Okay,

besides that.

No, okay.

Okay.

Well, then there you go.

So all of this is just natural.

Okay,

me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

That's something to think about.

Let's go to the truth talk text line 833212 1017 Cherise.

Good morning.

So what's your truth this morning?

You've heard our conversation about the

stuff going

on at NPS.

What's happening?

Yeah, so so my thoughts is that you know the teachers the principal the security art they can only do so much and a lot of times the way these kids are Somebody knew no kids was coming up there.

Somebody knew not even just somebody cuz

How do everybody be around watching us all at the same time with this cell phone and stuff?

They talk awesome.

It's all coming up here All I want to see that I'm gonna be right there with them and the thing is kids got to realize that that could have got really out of hand Yeah, like shots could have been fired

Little girls, little 16 year olds, little boys, you know, somebody could have really got hurt and nobody's like really thinking about that.

So they're just thinking like, oh, it's so horrible.

But I'm not shocked because we just went through the whole takeover at Bayshore Mall.

We just went out of control at Summerfest.

We just went out of control at the State Fair.

You know, we got areas where kids are doing takeovers.

And so it's not shocking that they would get to the point

Of just oh, I'm coming up to some school because what's gonna happen?

What anybody gonna do and then they ran off So, I mean, you know, I'm glad nobody got hurt But I think these kids are gonna have to stop thinking like this is all funny games.

It's like some video game.

Ha ha.

This is all cute

and start saying when somebody when you know somebody is coming up there to do something you need to say something because if that boy would have got shot or somebody would have got shot that blood is on your hand you have the power to control to do something and these kids when they hopefully one day they get tired of watching their friends die seeing how many kids you know going to funerals seeing their friends on the news disease or

you know, paralyzed.

Hopefully one day they get tired and people start saying something.

You know them kids was coming up there.

You know that all the drama was going on.

You know what it was about.

I'm sure they at home telling their parents, yeah, they came up here because he did so and so and so and so.

The kids all know, but they're not saying nothing because they don't think nothing serious can happen.

They think, oh, it's nothing.

It's like they're numb to it.

Like they don't see.

the consequences of how everything could have gone totally to the left.

And like I said, kids just have to get tired.

And they don't seem like they tired.

It seemed like they're just numb to it.

We're numb to people dying.

We're numb to the funerals.

We're numb.

And that's sad when we get to the point where we're not bothered.

That's frightening.

So that's my truth and I love out too cuz he

keeps it real Absolutely, all right you

too.

Thank you.

She resets for call it if you want to get your comments and numbers eight three three two one two ten seventeen That's our true talk text.

I now listen.

She's right

Do you feel like we're just numb to this?

Because I would be honest with you when I heard about both scenarios For a second.

I was like what?

No And then I was like, yeah, it didn't take long to get to the yeah.

It's like oh Now that here we go something else have and you know what?

These things don't become real to us these days unless it happens directly to us, right?

Because I'm sure that young man that got there was allegedly pistol whipped it became all too real for him, right?

All

becomes too real when it's once it happens to you instead of you looking at it on the On the screen it's kind of like the Republican effect, you know the Republicans don't care about anything until it actually happens to them They become advocates for it.

So I'm sure this I mean either this kid will be

Enraged or he's gonna want to get to get back because he got embarrassed on social media in front of his peers You know the cycle that we're talking about

yeah, yeah, yeah, so you think he's gonna want to have his as Homer would say get black

Well, yeah, it just depends on what kind of character is we don't know who he is.

Yeah, we don't know the whole situation But you see there is gonna discourage him from the street life or it's gonna either enrage him and he's gonna want to get his get back on the two people that just embarrassed them

Yeah, you know, back when some of us were growing up, you know, if you took an L, you took an L and you would just wait because you knew that it was going to come back around for that person.

You didn't know where it went, but you just hoped that you were there so you could see it and maybe even walk up and say, you know what I mean?

That's what you get, you know?

But you, you know, if you go take an L, you go, you know, and then if you had brothers and sisters, they might have jumped in to keep you from taking that big of an L. But see, back when we was rolling out, everybody wasn't pulling out guns and stuff, you know.

Folk wasn't, they might have gone to somebody else's school to fight, but they weren't pulling out any guns.

I mean, this whole situation, he was allegedly supposedly pistol whipped.

Well, yeah, you can see him get hit in the head with a gun.

Yeah, I'm just saying, hey, you know, it's alleged until we formal charges are made.

But I just get upset when I hear that no one has been picked up for it.

You know, no one has been arrested for it.

I mean, no one's linked to social media accounts.

You can easily I mean, if the police care about it enough, they can they have the news.

People have the social media clip.

They can look at the original source.

Yeah, it was posted from.

and they can arrest the person easily if they actually care.

Right.

Right.

Um, uh, will deny.

Good morning.

Will deny, uh, said that they should start interviewing these parents of these kids who are getting into trouble so the public can see who these parents are.

You know what?

This should just be, uh, you know how to have the easy button.

There should be like a get your kids button.

Get your kids.

It's just it's just like they get on your nerves so bad all this stuff This is why we can't have nothing why we can't keep nothing We'll have a big a nice venue open up and all of a sudden this grand opening grand closing because both kids want to get out here They're young adults some of them are people with kids some of them are the kids of people with kids some of them are You know these toys are us adults who don't care

You get out here and you start doing stuff and you know and then you go Everybody's like oh, it's so sad such and such closed or this and that didn't happen or that grocery store moved out or whatever You know what it's because y'all either didn't support it Went over there did some shooting or did something

We try to show off.

We try to be out there and show that we, we the man or we the woman, but it don't always work.

Now does it?

Um, let's see.

Uh, Del Mack said that the crazy part of it is that they would have tried it in the, tried it with the wrong person and somebody probably would have been unalived.

You're right.

because that young man that was Allegedly pistol whipped or whatever there he could have had a gun on him too and then what and Then what then what we gonna do?

Hmm?

Then what would have happened?

See nobody wants to talk about that, but that's those are those are facts Those are facts.

Those are big-time facts.

So we have to look out for stuff like that Let's see here

Laurent Taylor says we sugarcoat it when they call us the usual suspects Are they lying?

Where's the Milwaukee roller skating rink and why don't we have and why don't we have it?

Why no African World Festival?

Well, we know why well, you know what I don't want to say that things were bad at African World Festival

I don't know that to be.

All of this wasn't going on when African World Festival was around.

I think that went downhill due to some other, you know, other situations, right?

But if you want to talk about like a roller rink or something like that, I believe one is actually opening up on 76th Street.

I don't know if they ever opened it or what was going on.

Not 76 on Brown D wrote.

What is the

obsession with people talking about opening up roller rinks?

You think that's going to make the kids stop?

That's

really older.

I really feel like these days.

I mean No, I don't you know what?

You're you're right.

I feel like and if they're

actually shooting each other on the skates

actually There's a ton of people that roller skate.

They're just not in They're just not in you know the The demographic we're talking about then it's not in the demographic

So, you know, that's kind of how That's kind of how that is Anita Nicole Yeah, anyway the incident attack Happened in the late 80s and 90s It just wasn't recorded I'm saying this as a witness this generation is the product of the environment

And it's a shame, but I'm just being honest.

That's true.

That's true.

Um, uh, and, um, what else?

Uh, the, uh, notation that babies are born and just start being violent is insane.

Babies grow, observe, listen, listen, you are right.

100%.

Let me tell you something.

If you know nothing else.

These kids are out here watching their parents.

And if you're a parent that is a people with kids parent or as someone would say, or toys for us adults, that's what they're watching and they think it's okay.

And that's what they've learned.

Everything that you're doing, your kids see, good, bad or indifferent.

You can only hope that you do your very best as a parent.

To change that and to keep them on the straight and narrow because they don't see some stuff Nobody's perfect You know and She's here and Yeah, and and so you know there I mean there's there's nothing you can do as a parent But do your best and if you don't do your best and you let all this go on you know people always say oh you don't want to

You don't want to spank your kids.

You don't want to discipline them.

You just want to talk to them.

Put them in a corner for a minute.

Whatever your method is, you have to teach your child right from wrong.

But if you going out here, and you're doing all kinds of wrong, and your kids see it.

Listen, I feel like kids see, smell here, whatever.

If they see that, because nobody's perfect.

Don't get me wrong, no one is perfect, but if you out here way out of line and way out of order, they're gonna see that.

If you walking around here toting guns, flashing them in the air, going online with them yourself, they're going to see that and they think it's okay.

If you out here running the streets, shaking your tail, doing all the things.

They're gonna see that and they're gonna think it's okay.

Don't think because You're you know You may have some time at home where you're good with them and you all hang out and have a little family time Because you do that that they're not gonna see the rest they don't see it all

They go see it all if you're out here lollygaggin doing all the things running out here stealing shoplifting Boosting or getting buying boosted stuff for you buying folk food step your kids be with your kids see all of that They see it all You may think oh they sleep in the backseat them little ears are hearing

They know what it is.

They hear you talking on the phone, right?

You think oh, they don't know what I'm doing.

They know they hear you They hear you cussing.

How do you think that they know how to use the inflections when they're cussing?

What?

Yeah, you know, you've heard your kids cussing.

I'm just calling the spade a spade It is what it is when you get out here and you think that your kids aren't watching you know That they watch
