Originating from the iHeartMedia Megaplex and Columbus, Ohio, the studios of six'
ten WTVN. This is the Douglaspower Pour Podcast. I've never really understood
people that felt the need to practicea speech, because I think it takes
the zest out of it, thespontaneity out of it, and sometimes that
(00:27):
makes your point weaker, whatever pointyou're trying to make in the speech case
endpoint. I've bet the show audiofrom the show that I did on the
twenty ninth of November is far morepoignant than coming in here and restating it
for the podcast. So I'm justgoing to go to the show audio from
the twenty ninth of November. Wehad somebody finally die because of one of
(00:48):
these stolen Kia dirt balls. Yougut somebody did because four punks in a
stolen Kia rammed into their Hyundai orHonda over on Hilliard Rome Road on Saturday.
I went through that intersection about Idon't know two and a half hours
later. There was no indication ofanything happening, so they cleaned up the
accident very well. I didn't evenknow about it, I don't think until
(01:11):
Monday, but they went through astop sign, blew through the stop sign
there at Beacon Hill and Hilliard Rome, right by Doctor's West Hospital, if
you know the area, and hitthis Honda. And the driver of the
Honda has now died. So nowwhat do we do? What do we
do? After time? I stilldon't know the record this particular driver of
(01:32):
the Kia. I don't know howmany times, but I bet you it
wasn't there first being caught behind thewheel of a stolen car, and there
were four of them in the car. At last check. They were charging
the driver with receiving stolen property,not auto theft, not you know,
felony anything, but just receiving.They were leaving it at that and I
(01:53):
hope that that was because they werewaiting and praying that this other driver would
come out of this, but theydid. So now what now? What
I am? I am? AndI don't know who they are, don't
know how old they well, Iknow they're fifteen, yes, male or
female, don't know, black orwhite, don't know America or not,
don't know, had a daddy inthe house, don't know, I don't
(02:15):
know. What I do know isthat we need to start making examples of
criminals in general, and most definitelyof these young criminals, because damn it,
they just don't care. They don'tcare. They're stealing cars, they're
shooting people, they're killing, thestabbing, robbing, going into stores and
hauling out garbage bags, and nobodyseems to want to do anything that's in
(02:38):
power to do something. Those ofus out here in the real world,
Yeah, we've got an issue.We've got an issue. We think somebody
ought to go to jail. Wethink somebody ought to pay a price for
this. But the people who arein charge and have the absolute power to
make something happen, they sit aroundforming their committees and their task force,
and they're you know, doing theirstudies and coming up with their formula.
(03:00):
What's that judge's name I saw ontelevision. I forget her name. She
was the part of the group thatdesigned this formula where they give them,
you know, points for when theyget arrested to decide whether or not they
stay or not. I would say, your formula needs to be reworked.
You're on her because they need tostay while the jails are just a terrible
(03:22):
place for them. Make the jailsbetter. Come on, we're tax tax,
tax, tax, You make money, you pay tax on it.
You spend money, you pay taxon the stuff you buy. You buy
a house, you pay tax everyyear for the right of owning the house.
You leave your money to somebody whenyou die, and they pay taxes
on it. For God's sake,you get to tax the income four thousand
(03:43):
times. Why don't you use itto actually do something that makes sense.
If the jails are bad, makethem better. If they're understaff, hire
more people. If you need this, go get it. But stop making
the rest of us out here lookaround every time we walk out our door
or to see if somebody's coming downthe street we don't recognize, or or
you know, wearing a hood whenthey shouldn't be because its ninety degrees and
(04:05):
you got a hoodie on and thehoods pulled down and you're lower in your
head. Of course, I'm gonnawatch you. Yeah, profiling, Yeah
I am, just because he's no. Don't even insert anything in there,
because I don't care what he's exceptfor the fact that I don't recognize him.
He's acting suspicious, he's got hishood down. It's too hot to
(04:25):
even be wearing that, and he'sgetting way too close to me, my
car, my family, my house, whatever. So his profile is get
away from me. And more andmore of us are getting like this.
Why because those who have the powerand the charge to do something about the
problems choose to not do anything aboutthe problems. They come up with excuse
(04:48):
after excuse, project after projects,and not do anything. And now someone
is dead. We've been saying it. You've said it. I've said it.
People you don't know. I've saidit people you do know. I've
said what are they gonna do whensomebody gets killed by one of these kids
stealing a car? Well, somebodyhas been killed? May again there?
(05:12):
Now what, Zach Klein? Nowwhat Columbus City Council, Now what?
Don't tell me what the police needto do. They can't keep picking them
up and bringing them in so youcan turn them loosen. They're out two
hours later doing the same thing.Now what and what responsibility do you bear?
(05:42):
Especially if it comes out that thiskid that was driving the car has
you know, five six seven arrestsalready for stealing cars and you did nothing?
Are you? Are you implying thatthis person may have had a prior
run in with the law do youthink you think somebody in a stolen Kia
at fifteen years old with three otherpeople in the car with them does not
already have a reputation for being somebodythat can steal cars. That's where they
(06:04):
got the three passengers. I highlydoubt it. I'm just kidding. That's
where they got the three passes.They went out and knowing that that one
can do it, let's get it, let's go steal car. And somebody's
dead. I know you think I'myou know, wow, Chuck's just really
off the hooked, and I maybeI am a little bit. I grew
(06:25):
up here, man, this ismy hometown. Columbus, Ohio is my
hometown. I graduated what is quicklybecoming a cesspool called Columbus City Schools,
except we were public schools instead ofcity schools, and we had a nice
Apple logo back then. Till mylast breath, I will be a proud
West High Cowboy. But I'm proudof what we were. I'm not proud
of what I'm seeing out there today. Yeah I am. I am upset.
(06:47):
I am very upset, and morepeople ought to be upset, especially
those who are empowered and entrusted todo something about it. The decline of
what we know to be civilization happensone teaspoon at a time. You don't
have to drink the whole jar,and we keep letting teaspoon after teaspoon pass
(07:09):
our lips. That's okay, it'sit's not that bad. It's not that
bad yet it is because at theend of not that bad comes much worse.
And we've got to do something.And the people who are entrusted and
empowered to do something have got todo something, and they've got to be
called accountable, loudly accountable, publiclyaccountable, repeatedly accountable when they don't.
