Speaker 1 (00:01):
There we go. Breaking news finally, folks. Rajah Jackson has
been arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on felony
assault charges, which is not something that normally I would celebrate,
but if you know, you know, because this was a
brutal I'm just gonna say this. I don't think the
(00:22):
charges are high enough. I don't think the charges are
severe enough. It was a brutal assault that took place.
What was it now? A couple of weeks ago, we
were all sat here wondering why he hasn't been arrested.
Why has the LAPD not done something? When we watched
a man on live stream beat a man senseless over
and over twenty three or twenty four unanswered punches, even
(00:43):
whilst people around him are trying to stop him from
attacking an unconscious individual slumped at a wrestling show. He
keeps firing, and we just didn't have any answer. Why
hasn't he been arrested? What is going on? Well we
now know. And by the way, shout out to Andreas
Hale Pike, shouts to this guy. He is killing it
with the articles. I know this was first reported by TMZ,
but here he is on ESPN Rajah Jackson, son of
(01:07):
former UFC champion Quentin Rampage. Jackson, has been arrested on
a felony assault charge following a brutal attack of a
pro wrestler. So this is psycho Stu. We know this
if you followed this. This is Stuart Smith, his actual name,
who Rajah attacked. And again it was a part of
a pro wrestling event here in Los Angeles called Knox
(01:29):
Pro Wrestling. There was a misunderstanding where Stu did hit
Rajah with it an empty beer can in a worked way.
It was not in any way a hard punch or
a hard hit. Thought that Raja was a pro wrestler.
When he found out he wasn't, he apologized profusely. Roja
accepted said apology. The dumbass promoters over it, Knox Pro,
were like, yeah, brother, we'll let you get it back
in the ring. Talking to a man that already clearly
(01:51):
has no idea what pro wrestling is and wants some
revenge and is unstable. I'm just gonna say it, he's
Raja seemed unstable to even be there. He was getting
rage baited by his chat. The chat was telling him
he was a pussy and he wasn't gonna do nothing.
His own dad is calling him a bitch and all
this is not good. So that just flowed over and
Rajah got in and did some very unspeakable things. Damn
(02:13):
near killed this guy. I'll be honest, I can't believe.
And maybe it's just because it's harder to prove that
there's not an attempt murder charge here. Maybe I just
don't know the letter of the law of how hard
it is to prove attempted murder. But what else do
you give a guy for repeatedly punching an unconscious individual
with no sense of stopping. I mean, they tried to
pull him off, They tried to pull him off, Psycho Stu,
(02:35):
and he just keeps firing and keeps firing. He shucks
him off, throws him, and keeps firing. What what else
do you need? What else is the burden of proof there?
And also before he goes on to just absolutely decimate
this guy, he's in the chat talking about Yeah, i'm'a
fuck him up. Yeah. I mean, I guess you have
the burden of like premeditation on that. I don't know,
but I don't know how this is not attempted murder.
(02:57):
I'll be honest, but we keep going. According to the
Los Angeles count Sheriff's Department, Jackson was arrested and booked
on Thursday morning and is being held at fifty thousand
dollars bail. No further details of the penning case have
been reached as are revealed as of yet. So fifty
thousand dollars bail. I don't know if again that's gonna be.
I mean, that's something that Rampage could probably pay out
and get him out while while they figure out sentencing
(03:17):
and all that. The arrest came nearly a month after Jackson,
twenty five, was caught on video assaulting pro wrestler Stuart Smith,
also known as Psycho Stu, at the knox Ex Pro
Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles. Jackson entered the ring, slammed
Smith and punched him until he was unconscious. No, that's
not true. He punched him even after he was unconscious.
(03:38):
This is our guy, Andreas Hale. This is this is
you know, great job covering the story, but let's let's
make sure that the facts are actually submitted here. He
slammed Smith. Smith then became unconscious and then Rajah Jackson
continued punching him. He didn't punch him until he was unconscious.
Stu was unconscious on the fucking slam, So every punt
(04:00):
souch after that was after he was unconscious. The correct
wording of this sentence would be Jackson slam Smith immediately,
rendering him unconscious, and then punched him until several individuals
had to drag him off. That's the correct wording of
that statement. Just so we're clear, Jackson was eventually pulled
off by off of Smith by several other wrestlers and
(04:20):
fled the academy, which is located in the Sun Valley
neighborhood of Los Angeles. Could that not also be a
charge as well? Not only are we talking about him
assaulting this man, but then leaving the scene of the crime.
Is that not something that can also be charged here?
Like fleeing the scene of a crime. After what they're
you know, this article is saying aggravated assault charges or no,
just felling the assault charges. I feel like that should
be at least something as well. But yeah, here is
(04:43):
the video of Rajah being handcuffed, handcuffed and led away.
Get his ass the fuck out of here, Get him
out of here. Dang, those are his neighbors filming him too.
(05:09):
How long is it going to jail for I'm not sure.
Look he's looking at his neighbors while they're filming him. Buddy,
I'm glad you got us this evidence, but knowing Rajah
Jackson as soon as he gets out he's coming for you,
probably wasn't the smartest thing to film him while you
live next to it. Finally we have at least some
form of justice. I'm not even gonna show the video
(05:29):
again because the video is just brutal, but uh, if
you didn't know, let me see if I can find
some of the things that I'm trying to find. What
the actual medical issues that Stu had because of that.
This is from TMZ. The wrestler who had gotten in
a spat with Raja just before the event spent several
days in the hospital with numerous injuries, including fractured maxilla bone.
(05:50):
Not sure what that is. Thankfully he has been released
and is recovering at home. Whatever that maxilla bone is fractured,
multiple broken teeth, apparently at one point choking on his
own blood. Yet here we are talking about almost a
month later. It takes the lapd to caetch this guy
and then yes, you know, fantastic, we have some charges brought.
But I don't want to be that person that's like
it's not severe enough. But is there a doubt in
(06:12):
anybody's mind? He was just gonna continue punching him until
he got tired, he meaning Raja. That was the only
thing that was gonna stop him. That was the only
thing that was stopping Raja from punching him was he
wasn't tired enough yet. And I know this because again
I'm not gonna show the video because we've already showed
it so many times, but there's multiple instances where guys
try to get Raja off of Stu and he's still
(06:32):
wailing on him, and then he shoves the people trying
to get him off of him and goes back to
wailing on So how what other proof do we need
on top of the fact that he's like telling the
chat what he's about to do. Raja is very lucky
that Psychostu didn't die. He's very lucky, and that's crazy
to say, but he is very, very lucky that the
supporters that were there to watch Knox Pro actually stepped
in and stopped him. Had he been left to do
(06:55):
whatever he wanted to do, he would have killed him,
no doubt, in my mind, he would have killed just
in by proxy of training martial arts, you usually learn
better self control because you understand the damage you and
not only you can cause to others, but you can
cause to yourself or anybody else by just getting into
a fight, let alone your skills to be able to
neutralize a threat. That usually makes you a little bit
more controlled. Now, there are again examples that are not that,
(07:18):
and some people are just absolutely insane, But when you
have that skill set, you almost have more responsibility to
control yourself because you can end up like this, all
because he got rage baited by a bunch of freaking
teenagers in a kick chain. And by the way, there
are people online that were calling this a work. Now again,
Rampage's son Rajah was in the wrestling ring because they
had they had let him do that part. They did
(07:39):
not allow him to do the other stuff. They're like, oh,
it's a work, he won't be in jail. Y'all are idiots.
Y'all don't know how to I don't know how to
delineate between reel and fake absolute morons. Nothing will come
of this stupid, stupid. This is why I'm i'm I'm
I weep for the youth that actually can't realize when
something staged and when something's real. I mean, we've already
(07:59):
talked about this, but how stupid do you got to
be as a pro wrestling promotion to think, oh, we're
just gonna make a storyline out of this, We're just
gonna work this a little bit, while this guy has
no fucking clue what wrestling is and he's already been
set off by his chat and by the incident that
happened earlier in the day. Idiots dude, and then the
wrestling company telling it their own employees not to go
(08:20):
to the police, not to work with the police, to
have everything run through them after they're the biggest fuck
ups in the situation outside of Raja to even allow
this to happen. A bunch of scumbags. Man shut the
whole fucking thing down, and I know that would put
some people out of work, but didn't learn their lesson
when it happened, tried to hide information from the police,
shut them down. Breaking news update as we expected, kind
(08:41):
of disappointedly so Raza Jackson has already made bail not
less than five hours after his arrest. Yesterday, Raza Jackson
has been released and Rampaid Jackson says Rajah doing okay
after arrest. He fucked up. I mean, we all know
that fucked up. And again, I'm not trying to celebrate
(09:02):
this young man, you know, being taken into custody whatever.
I just think that justice needs to be served. And
what he did, we have seen no remorse for. We
have seen no statement of guilt for. We've seen nothing
but my bad. After he found out the guy he assaulted,
punched continuously without stopping, may have been seriously injured and
(09:23):
potentially could have died, all he said was y'all gotta
quit playing with me. So yeah, I'm a little disappointed
that immediately right after he's arrested, he's back out. Now
he's on bond. Fifty K bond was posted. Quentin Rampay
Jackson said his son was back home and doing okay
hours after he was booked for felony battery so fel
any battery case on Thursday, telling his buddies he's well
(09:47):
aware of the fact that Rajah fucked up again. Here's
the thing too, I don't necessarily envy the spot Rampage
Jackson is in right now, because there's not much he
can really say. I did not like Rampage's respond when
this first hit the fan to immediately point the finger
at Psycho Stu and blame and point in this and
that and call it a word. It was all bad,
(10:07):
no responsibility accepted whatsoever. And then he kind of walked
that back and you know, he's fucked up. My son
fucked up all this, But a lot of the excuses
and the place and the blame I did not like.
But again, it is his son, and it is a
tough spot to be in, and maybe Rampage, you know,
I don't want to get into their personal stuff, but
maybe the way he talks to his son needs to
change now, as it was clear Raja was like trying
to show how tough he was. I don't know if
(10:29):
that was to the audience or to his dad, but
it was super weird. Rampage went live on kick why
is he still doing that following the twenty five year
olds arrest, and at one point he opened up on
the aftermath of the Knox Pro Wrestling scandal that left
Psycho Stu hospitalized. I'm doing okay. I'm holding up well,
Rampage said, adding he understands the situation is no longer
under his control. He fucked up. He fucked up. He's
(10:50):
gonna learn his lesson. It is what it is. All
I can do is be a dad. You don't listen
to me. At the end of the day, I can't.
He can't say I didn't do what I was supposed
to do as a dad. He was held on fifty
was a dollar bond before getting out hours later. Rampage
doesn't shied away from sharing his opinion on the matter.
Feels rog and he's to serve time again. It almost
reads like Rampage is like, yeah, I did what I
was supposed to as a dad and bailed him out. Okay,
(11:13):
And he's right. You know, Rampage is doing what he
can for his son, probably gonna get him a good lawyer.
But I also agree that, like Rampay said, he needs
to spend time in there, he needs to atone for this.
It's inexcusable. He's a twenty five year old man. This
is not some kid that just made a mistake. I
hate that. I hate this whole Like ah kid made
a mistake. Hey, he's a kid. No, that's a twenty
(11:36):
five year old man. He can buy alcohol, he can
rent a car, he can buy a home, he can vote.
That's an adult. And yes, people make mistakes. But a
mistake is you slam Psycho Stew on his head and
you hit him once or twice. Realize, uh, oh, I
actually hurt this guy. I shouldn't stop. I should stop
doing what I'm doing. I should not continue hitting it.
(11:57):
That's what a mistake. He apologize, Seek to get him
some help. He didn't make a mistake. He consciously chose
to go in there and again. I think punch Psychostu
until he got tired, regardless of the outcome. I don't
think there was any point in Raj's head where he
went I might kill this guy. I need to stop. No,
I think he was going to punch him until he
got tired enough to where he just physically could don't know.
(12:17):
I don't want to hear he made a mistake. I
don't want to hear he was a kid. I don't
want to hear anger management. I want to hear jail
time and offering penance. That's what I want to seeing.
How Rampage responded to it. I only can assume that
Raja's would be just as bad, But anyway, that's the
double breaking news. We'll keep an eye on this situation.
We'll see what happens next.
