Willie talks with Warren County Commissioner David Young about the Cincinnati Open, previews an interview between FOX 19 anchor Tricia Macke and the woman who was attacked in the infamous downtown brawl, talks with Christopher Smitherman about the violence that has been occurring in the city of Cincinnati and more on the Cincinnati Open with Pete Holtermann.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Welcome to this Monday
afternoon in the tri stays so much going on, it's unbelievable.
How about Sloan, He's Scott Sloan. He's indispensable, of course,
been gone to last two week or ten days. He
was in Australia in the outback, in a hut somewhere,
looking down and he wanted to try to find some
dingo dogs and kangaroos. And he turns on Sky News

(00:24):
four hundred miles in the middle of Australia and Cincinnati's
the lead story in Australia, much less New Zealand and
around the world for what's happening here. Plus yesterday the
tennis tournament and Mason kicked off with a big grant
opening ribinser cut by Ben Navarro and of course John
Barrett and David Young, the Warren County Commissioner. The three
of them are the reasons we have the tournament, and

(00:46):
all began with David Young and then Barrett and then
Ben Navarro certainly playing into the idea of keeping the
tournament here instead of moving it to Charlotte. But until then,
David Young, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and
Commissioner David Young and Warren County. How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
How could I not be fantastic today living in Warren County?
Beautiful day tennis facility renovations come on on time, under budget.
I mean, it's just the way we roll up here, Willie.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
No question. Now, are you considering to take off the
next couple of weeks, maybe go to Canada to celebrate
your five year old son's life, to take off when
you're busy in Warren County? Is that a possibility?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Will you know? You know me long enough here. I
try not to be judgmental, but man, when crap hits
the fan, I mean, you know, and you're the man,
and the man's got to kind of be there.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well. The other thing is it was known for that
weekend you had about now one hundred thousand people coming
to Cincinnati for the music festival. Add on top without
one hundred thousand people for the Reds baseball game. Add
on top of that, my new best friend is ice Cube.
Ice Cube and I are starting to rap together, and
he's here for the Big Three Tennis tournament. One might
think I'm going to schedule a vacation to celebrate the

(01:58):
life and times of my but I might want to
do it not that weekend, maybe the weekend before the
weekend after. But nonetheless I regress. Have you considered getting
together with your counterparts maybe in the Butler County and
Claremont County, in Boone Kenton and Campbell County and maybe
Dearborn County to have an intervention with the city of

(02:19):
Cincinnati to tell them how to run a government? Is
it a possibility if we got a f tab pirival
who Blondie sang about him about call me the American
Jiggelow that movie call me that's certainly GQ mayor that
we have as the leaders are on the tri State
got together and said, you know what, we got to
do an intervention with the city of Cincinnati. Would you

(02:41):
like to quarterback that effort?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Really, I believe it or not. I tried. I have
met in social settings with a couple of the leaders
of the county and the city and tried.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
To be hospitable.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, I'm just a blue ash boy trying to
make it around this big old rock circle in the sun.
And somehow we've done okay. But I've actually tried to
talk to some of these folks, and the reception is
just I mean that everyone puts on these political partisan
hats immediately and they can't listen. And I certainly try

(03:21):
to listen. I'm not perfect. I don't know all everything
and try to learn different perspectives on things, and because
the one thing I do know is the definition of
insanity is trying to do the same thing over and
over and expecting a different outcome. I mean, who would
have thunk that during some of those big events you
just mentioned, when you have thousands, tens of thousands, it's

(03:41):
not hundreds of thousands of people, a lot of which
are outside of our community coming into a small area
that trouble happens. Who would have funked that that actually
would have happened.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, to me, it's really unbelievable the incompetence of Cincinnati
City Council, especially the mayor and the city manager. And
also I love the family of Chief Thiji. Her family's
been in law enforcement for about ninety years and she
may be miscast as the police chief, but she's a

(04:12):
great cop. And to have that represent the city of
Cincinnati at this critical time is the worst pr that
one could ever imagine to occur. And I would have
hoped our bright mayor would have come up with a
better excuse than I wanted to celebrate the life and
times of my five year old son before he goes
to kindergarten two weeks for half a day session by
flying one thousand miles away to be in Canada because

(04:35):
it's too hot here. And I would have thought he'd
come up with a better excuse than that one. But
that's the best thing you could come up with. Het
came into the foxhole and said, you know what, I'm
a husband and a father first. You and I are
husbands and fathers first. However, when you sign on for
this kind of a duty, you're not one of nine,
You're one of one. You are it. You're the chief

(04:56):
executive officer of a city, and to schedule a vacation
with a order of a million people in town might
not be the best idea, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
What I'm saying, Probably not the best idea. And again,
you know, I'm happy to talk to Tennis, but since
we're on this subject, this is very very serious to me.
And I think I've been on your show repeatedly talking
about the importance of the urban core. People have talked
to me, you know, multiple times, Oh, are you going
to do something with the Bengals, Oh what are you

(05:23):
doing with this? Oh what are you doing? And I've
said repeatedly it's critically important for their region to have
a strong, successful, vibrant urban core and that all starts
Willy in my opinion, and you and I have actually
talked about this because you know, when it started with
these street takeovers where people are doing burnouts and taking

(05:45):
off their life and plates and the cops literally stand
by and watch them. But yet I know people that
were parking their high end cars in front of their
restaurants and there'd be fifteen since an APD down there
with tow trucks towing them and turning it into a
thing that literally happens. So now you've got.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
This huge.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Opportunity to say, there's so much money that's been invested,
the Bengals, the Reds are right there in the hunt,
all these people are wanting to come downtown to the
banks OTR. It's all happening. And then the number one
thing of government in my opinion, on the national level,
it's national defense, and on the local level, it's public safety.

(06:27):
Nothing else matters. Water running is obviously critical, sewers, pottholes,
all that stuff. But if you are not safe in
your family's not safe in your home and in your community,
nothing else literally matters, really, and the City of Cincinnati,
in my opinion, is failing at that number one task.
And I have been so resident to and just I've

(06:50):
avoided being hardcore critical of Cincinnati, and at this moment
in time, I am. I mean, I sit on the
economic Development board for the region, and it's like, man,
we're trying to convince these large companies to come and
relocate and do this in the region, which is which
is great, but it's like if you have restraints on

(07:11):
your law enforcement and tell them literally, don't do this,
don't engage with that, let this activity go on. And
there's this impression that it's you can do whatever the
heck you want in an urban core. How am I
with a strong conscious supposed to tell people please come
and relocate your business to downtown Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, all the news conferences, hell, has only been one
or two with the mayor. He seems to be saying
things are good, I'm okay, you're okay. Crime is down,
which is a bunch of bs. Maybe the reporting of
crime is down, but crime itself is way up because
many citizens do not want to report crime, but that
happens to them. I have a posting here by a

(07:53):
certain group in which they talked about the number of
shall we say, break ins and cars and this one
Hoss says that did you know that last night which
would have been Saturday night Sunday morning, and District two
had over one hundred thefts from auto's car break ins,
several of them ending up with auto thefts. All this
within a twelve hour period from Saturday night into Sunday morning.

(08:15):
I'm glad the mayor and the chief are honest about
the crime stats and declining help from the state to
crush crime because they have it all under all under control.
And I can't tell you how many times in Hyde
Park there were fifteen or twenty car break ins and
when you're nine to one one, they can't send an officer.
They don't have facilities to that. They say, just deal
with it with your insurance company and auto. If you've

(08:35):
had your car broken into, it is a felony and
it's a serious crime, but it's blown off. We have
hundreds of youths wilding in the streets of Cincinnati, breaking curfew,
but it's not enforced. We have hundreds of people every
day downtown open air smoking pot which is illegal, not enforced,
have open air drug use, needles, and prostitution in and
around Saint Francis Seraph Church on Liberty Street. And so

(09:01):
when the crimes, little crimes are not enforced, the message
is sent, no problem, and now they want to get
after the judges. You know Judge Carrie bloom and Juvenili
courts as a social activist who has a nosering and
tattoos all over a body, and she thinks that at
one or two serious felonies by sixteen year olds is
not a big deal. They are released immediately. And Judge

(09:21):
William Mallory, who's a good guy. My wife served with
him on the Court of Appeals. Everybody likes Bill Mallory,
but he sets four hundred dollars cash bonds for those
with guns holding up people with guns to the head.
That cash bond is four hundred dollars. And so you
put all that together, plus you have the worst generation
of parents in American history. There ought to be parenting
classes in the city of Cincinnati, that doesn't take place.

(09:44):
Can you smell when I'm cooking before we talk about
the tournament.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Willie, Now that I was in such a great mood,
and now you've got me all fired up because again
I want to take it back to my heart breaks
for the citizens of downtown Cincinnati because they've invested their money,
because there was a re vitolation, revitalization going on. There's
a lot of business activity down there. I love going downtown.
But guess what I'll do now. I'm not going to
say I'm never going back downtown, but I'm going to

(10:10):
have an uber driver drop me off at the front
of the restaurant and then pick me up at the
front of the restaurant. And that's it. Don't walk around, literally,
I'm not walking around. No. And because there's an image
that's justified of bad stuff happens. And this isn't new, Willie.
I mean, you're playing Joe Dieters. Wasn't his His son

(10:31):
was almost you know, knocked out with the Knockout game,
however many years ago. I mean, this stuff happens a lot.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Jonathan Dieters. Uh, you know, one punch, one out. It's
kind of a game. You got to get nine innings
to win, and poor Holly. We have comments coming up
later from her Holly an interview with Tricia Mackie of
Fox nineteen. But the game is played. You need one
punch and one out, and you get nine of them
and you win the game. And Jonathan Dieters is walking

(10:58):
just walking around. He had the wrong skin color and
he got pounded. One punch, one out And except for
a kindly black African American female who put herself between
the attackers and Jonathan Deeters, he might not be alive today.
And this is the only difference about this video is
that it was videoed. I had Steve Gooden on the
other day that talked about the street takeovers all over

(11:21):
Clifton near the Mayor's home, in front of that police,
front of that fire department. They can't get out and
they call on one scout car shows up and says,
I need help. I got two hundred people in the streets.
They've blocked either ends of Ludlow Avenue. They're singing and dancing,
using drugs and smoking, walking around with AK forty sevens
And that's in Ludlow Avenue by Clifton. Talk about what's

(11:44):
happening on the banks. Talk about the banks have to
have their own private security guard because of the behavior
of so many kids. And on top of that, before
we talk about the tennis tournament, Western and Southern can
hire their own police force. Procter and Gamble has their
own police force, Kroger has their own police force. Joseph
Auto Mode have their own police force. The rest of
us don't have a private ability to hire own police

(12:05):
and Kroger has told many of its employees if you
feel uncomfortable coming to Cincinnati, stay home and do your
job from home.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Isn't that a problem, It's a huge problem.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Again, my heart breaks for this, but it's tragic, but
it's real and what's going to happen. I'm concerned with
a vibrant urban core for the region. It has to
be because again, you lose downtown Cincinnati. All the suburban
counties that you mentioned that are doing so great that
that starts affecting us. So you need a strong urban

(12:39):
core and it starts with public safety. And it's not
just an image. There's a reality that the priorities in
the urban core are misplaced. And my heart breaks for
those residents. They don't deserve to live in a place
like that, and people that are visiting the community should
not be in fear of a personal attack or even

(13:02):
getting kicked in the head while they're on the ground,
and potentially that's attempted murder. In my book, someone's trying
to kill someone. If someone's defenseless, laying on the streets
and getting kicked in the head, someone's trying to kill you.
That's not okay.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
If you're mayor, we're to talk about but we got
to talk about tennis tournament. But if the mayor of
the city manager had held a news conference quickly and said,
you know what, on this one, we screwed up. We
made serious mistakes. I took a week off when I
shouldn't have taken a week off. There should have been
either the National Guard or a lot of police officers
in every street corner, especially from midnight to six o'clock

(13:38):
in the morning. That's when trouble takes place. We're going
to so much better. But listening to the news conferences,
everything's great, everything's good, it's working, crime is down. That
doesn't fill us with the idea that if this event
happens again, which of course it will, that there'll be
actual recompense. I'm shocked by the fact that those who
committed these offenses are having high bonds, which has never happened.

(14:00):
But the judges are being told. You know how judges
are act when told to do certain things, they don't
like it. The judges are being told, you've screwed up.
Be part of the solution, and judges don't like that. Now,
let's move on quickly. The tennis tournament. Can you tell
the American people it starts? I think it started yesterday.
What's happening today? Monday afternoon, what's happening the rest of
this week? Give me a full report.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
The real matches start tomorrow through the eighteenth men's finals
on Monday the eighteenth. Really, it's transformative, and you and
I have been talking about this for a long time
and it's actually come to completion that there was this idea,
there was a plan, it was sold, the Cincinnati corporate

(14:42):
community stepped up in a matter of weeks and it
all came together so literally that day that the tournament
ended last year, they started ripping out old fixtures in
that stadium to start this process, Willie. They did a
two hundred and sixty million dollar expansion of that campus

(15:03):
in forty four weeks.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
It's literally unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Most people can't build a house, and you can't build
a house in forty four weeks, and they did this
on time, under budget, and it's working. It's unbelievable. The
players that I've talked to that have shown up, from
the number one player in the year world Ynick Center,
to Andre Agasi to stephie Goff. All the people I've
interacted with over the last couple of days are talking

(15:29):
about this site being so unbelievable and wanting to come here,
because again, it's not just about the two weeks of
this tournament. Really, the pickleball facilities, the player facility, the
overlook that's looking down on pickleball, that's going to have
its own restaurant and bands up there for live entertainment.

(15:49):
That's going to be a entertainment mecca for people that
want to be active, participate in racking and paddle sports.
That's all happening and going down. Tennis tournaments, the NCAA tournaments.
We're in the hunt for those now. There's so many
things that are now going to be part of the
culture at that stadium and then pay off the people

(16:11):
of Warren County in the state of Ohio and the
city of Mason that all invested in that tournament and
stepped up and said, hey, we don't do stuff like this.
We're so fiscally conservative. But when it mattered, it mattered,
and we saw the you know, we saw the importance
of it, and the people of Warren County now stepped
up and that is their facility.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's wonderful. And without you it wouldn't have happened. Same
thing about Barrett, same thing about Navarro. It wouldn't have happened.
But you were the instigator. They said, let's see if
we can keep it here. But I'll be in touch
later this week or next. There will be no riots
in Warren County. It is a safe place to go.
It's wonderful. And once again, David Young, Warren County Commission,
thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. May God

(16:51):
bless you and God bless America. David Young, thank you
very much, God bless you. Willie all right, let's continue
with more. Now, that's how to run. That's how to
run a tournament. That's how to run large numbers of
people coming. It's being run correctly by competent individuals. I
would encourage the mayor and the city manager to listen
to those around them and government that can tell them

(17:12):
how to be competent. Let's continue, Bill Cunningham, News Radio
seven hundred w any we have problems everywhere. The red
Legs are in Chicago for three They have a tough
schedule the rest of this month of August. Let's see
what happens. We'll find out in the next two weeks
if they're real or memorycks. Getting back to the problems
at hand, that this did not happen, just happened to

(17:35):
occur about eight days ago. The only differential on this
event is that someone had the temerity to actually video
what was going on. According to elements of the black
community with which I've spoken, let's face it, Black Americans
love me. They always have and always will, and I
love them. This is a regular event in the black community,

(17:58):
but normally, as Damon Lynch, the third of the fourth
said the other day, the reverend who, by the way,
presided at my wife's investiture as a judge, I've known
Damon Lynch for a long time. The only thing note
worthy about this is that white folks were the ones
that were the victims, and the perpetrators were all black.

(18:20):
I think he made the point that if all the
perpetrators are black and all the victims are white, just
possibly race has something to do with it. There's a possibility,
I know it's remote, but there's a possibility that race
was an accelerant of one type or another. Street takeovers.
Judges putting out low bonds, Judges like a Wendy Cross

(18:43):
and Common Polase Court looking back thirty years and saying
Elwood Jones, the Blue Ash murderer of a woman named Rhoda,
was really innocent. The other twenty judges that looked at
it didn't know what they were doing. We have about
fifty percent of a very liberal bench that doesn't hand
out hard sentences and in fact have low bonds. The
other half, for people like Pat Thinkeelocker pretty good, they

(19:05):
would have the safety of the community by law must
be considered. This moment has been coming for a long
long time, which is what I think Christopher Smitherman's going
to say. He's coming up in about thirty minutes, and
so it's remarkable. The only thing remarkable is that someone,
because of today's technology recorded it, got the video and

(19:26):
got out. That's the only thing that's remarkable. Now, that
is one hell of a comment about the city of Cincinnati.
If this happens all the time, but this was remarkable
because it was videoed. That's not the way. If this
is happening all the time, which I'm told it is,
then that's a problem. Would you agree that is a problem.

(19:47):
And so over the last ten days, Sloaney himself, of course,
was in Australia for a long deserved vacation. He's on
the outback somewhere in a tin hunt watching the new
in the city of Cincinnati. Now that's a problem when
you're ten thousand miles away looking straight ahead. I have
all the monitors up on Fox News once again, they're

(20:09):
replaying what happened in the city of Cincinnati. Our enemies
could not pay for more effective advertising. So if this
is happening all the time in our city, don't think
things should be done to make it stop. And saying
we can't live like this does not make sense to you.
Raise your hand if you think that makes sense, let
me see. Okay, you're with me on this. So the

(20:32):
problem is not a video. The problem is to behavior
of a large number, but a small percentage of criminals
in Cincinnati who feel as if they can commit crimes
with impunity. I'm going to share these numbers are Christopher Smithman.
You know, I'm kind of a math guy. The face
of crime in Cincinnati, as Damon Lynch said, is a

(20:57):
young black male face. I don't know what the percentages.
Someone's got to keep the record, but it's probably eighty
ninety percent of serious crime in Cincinnati are committed by
black males, the Ryan Hinton crowd committing crime regularly. Now,
having said that the great majority of black kids from
fifteen to thirty years old have no criminal proclivities at all,

(21:20):
they are not doing this. Give you some numbers, believe
it or not. According to the twenty twenty US Census,
Cincinnati is a majority white city. It's fifty percent white,
forty five percent black, and five percent other. However, six
percent of the population commits eighty to ninety percent of
the crime. If you break it down forty five percent black,

(21:43):
that means twenty two percent male, more women than men,
more females and males twenty two percent. And you break
down the numbers every fifteen years from zero to seventy five.
The numbers indicate that six percent of the population in
Cincinnati are young black males who commit ten twelve times

(22:04):
the crimes of other racial categories. Why why is that true,
not just in Cincinnati but in every major American city.
Among other things, no family formation, no faith, no compensation,
no punishment when crimes are committed. So, if you run
the numbers, there's about twenty thousand kids in the city

(22:27):
of Cincinnati are black males between the ages of fifteen
and thirty. About twenty thousand other twenty thousand, maybe as
many as five percent are committing crimes. If there's a
thousand kids that are acting up out of twenty thousand,
my simple deer Park Matt tells me that's five percent.

(22:48):
So and largely the black community knows who the gang
bangers and the criminals are. It's five percent, it's six thousand.
Look at it this way, Oh Deeters has said repeatedly
in Melissa Powers, if you can take out one thousand
criminals in the city of Cincinnati, the great majority of
black males, we wouldn't need a police department because not

(23:11):
a lot black females or Asian males and females or
white kids are committing large crimes. Let me say again,
everything happens everywhere every now and then. You have a
murder in Warren County, you have a murder in Kenton County,
you have a rape and Boone County. Everything happens everywhere
all the time. It's the number of crimes committed, the

(23:32):
proportionality of offenses which is the problem the crime. And Cincinnati,
like every major city, is a young black male face.
But the great majority of ninety five percent of young
black males have nothing to do with crime. They live
their lives. They get up, go to school, go to work, whatever.

(23:53):
They live their lives fifteen to thirty years old. And
so if the focus is on that subset, to say,
you have engaged in terrible criminal behavior of street takeovers,
of dealing drugs, of arm robberies, of massive beatings on
the street of Cincinnati, on these ridiculous, shall we say,

(24:13):
behaviors involving in the out in front of Saint Francis Sarah,
on liberty, open air drug use and open air fornication
and other acts of prostitution. Can we focus on the
small numeric but because that number tends to be African American.
The city will forever pull its punch and say there's

(24:36):
institutional racism in his white privilege. Never talk about race
until it's the benefit of the left side to do so,
in which case they'll talk about race all the time.
And so the mayor is off the pages of GQ.
He's a metrosexual. The guy looks good, he talks good,
uses all the liberal buzzwords about collaboration, corroboration, We have

(24:59):
our partners together. Everyone's standing up there. And then after
he spoke, there were like one hundred car break ins
in Oakley and Hyde Park, according to Signal ninety nine.
Just continues unabated. I would assume Ryan Hinton and his crowd,
the other three, all of which have now been charged,
committed numerous crimes other than stealing in heisting cars. And

(25:21):
I'm talking about Darrell Austin and the Anthony Bullocks and
Sincere Griggs will be there alive. But how many cars
did they steal? How many crimes did they commit? And
Ryan Hinton's case, unfortunately he's dead because of his behavior.
Possession of guns, it was illegal. It's not an open
carry state. If you're under twenty one, it's not an
open carry state if you have previous criminal involvements with

(25:42):
all these kids did. It is a thing to play
the knockout game. It is a thing to break into cars,
and it's a thing to drive cars around to commit
crimes in someone else's car. And it's got to stop.
But it won't. I'm optimistic, you know. I often walk
around here telling everyone all I have is hope when

(26:04):
it comes to the Bengals and the Reds and Xavior
basketball and cobcath I'm a Catholic born in Covington Deer
Park High School. All I have is hope. But do
I think Cincinnati will be the only city in America
that properly addresses the criminal element to make Cincinnati more
livable for everyone? The news conference of the mayor, the

(26:27):
city manager, and the police that she chief of Police
gave me, and you know, zero confidence anything's going to change,
because it won't. One can only imagine the consequences if
a gang of tough white kids wearing Donald Trump hats
had beaten up numerous African Americans senseless recorded it, cheered

(26:52):
on the violence, and resulting in the serious injuries inflicted
upon Holly. One can only imagine the would be filled
with the Benjamin Crumbs and the al Sharptons flying the
Cincinnati immediately to address the problem. But because the opposite
took place, I dare you to bring up the fact
that race had anything to do with it when all

(27:13):
the perpetrators were black and all the victims were white.
The media deals with it completely differently, and I do
not want Cincinnati or America to descend into a tribal
morass of double standards and racial fixations, which, of course
the media is completely fixated on race, but only from
one perspective when these things happen, which is interracial crimes.

(27:39):
Say it loud and say it proud. Ninety percent of
the crime in the black community, the perpetrators and the
victims ninety percent of the time are the same race,
black on black. Same way in the so called white community,
ninety percent it is white on white. There's about as
much crime in the white community around them as there

(28:01):
is in the black community. But the differential is there's
six times more white people than black people, so it
should be six times greater when it's about the same.
But when racial boundaries are breached, that is, most crime
is black on black, white on white, Mexican on Mexican
or Asian on as great majority ninety percent. Stay within

(28:21):
your rasos the people you're around. However, when the interracial
boundaries are crossed, ninety percent of the time it's the
black perpetrator and the white victim. It is somewhat rare
to have a white perpetrator and a black victim, somewhat rare,
and when it's discovered, the media goes nuts. I refer
to Jesse's Smollette, who concocted some scheme that the charade

(28:46):
that in the middle of Chicago on a cold winter's night,
about one o'clock in the morning, Old Jesse's Smolett at
TV Star said he was walking out to get a
subway sandwich and he was attacked by two white Caucasian
males wearing Trump regalia inside the city of Chicago, shouting

(29:07):
racist words at him and saying he was the N word. Now,
how quickly did that fall apart? I would say very
quickly it fell apart. And before it fell apart, you
had Kamala Harris and you had many others, a black leadership. Hoper,
Winford and others say that was a racist event. Fernie

(29:30):
Jessie Smilett. When the opposite came out and it proved
to be a hoax, you couldn't find them with a
search worn. And on top of that, the Tawana Braley
rape hoaxed pumped up by of course Al Sharpton for
personal benefit, when that was a hoax. Later on, guess what,
all the so called famous people dropped it completely. The

(29:51):
Duke Lacrosse charade, in which four white boys from Duke,
privileged white boys supposedly hired a black exotic dancer to
do her thing, but allegedly she claims they were raped
by the She was raped by the four boys, and
everyone went nuts for months and months and months. This

(30:11):
is white on black crime. And when it came out
to be the opposite, the media and everyone dropped it quickly.
The Covington kid russ which that Native American out in
front of the White House, that the Michael Brown hands up,
don't shoot, fabrication that George Zimmerman was a white Hispanic
in the NASCAR news fable. The media runs around and

(30:34):
searches for some event or somebody a white racist attacked
the black person and they make it the definition of
racial relations forever, and they're fixated on that. So in
this case, liberal progressives cannot understand how anyone want to
racialize an event in which the perpetrators are all black
and the victims are all white, and if the N

(30:54):
word was said, then everything is justified. It's sad, it's sick.
I don't know what to say. This will continue for
a while, and when it's concluded, it'll go on for
a while because it's going to be trials, etc. There
is no justification for someone to use the N word,
whether it was said or not by a white person,

(31:15):
we're not sure, and then use as an excuse to
almost kill Holly, particularly disreputable and disgusting as Victoria Parks,
who's been around this town for thirty years, she was
the chiefest staff for Todd Opportune for a long time.
She claims the Holly beg to be hit like that,
and that woman is the president pro tem of city council.

(31:39):
So I don't know how she gets up in the
morning to face hers. It's unbelievable. So we'll see what
happens down the road. But as David Young just said,
for Warren County, if the leadership of functional governments around
Cincinnati could do an intervention with the mayor, the vice mayor,

(31:59):
lemon Kearny, throw in the city manager, sharel Long, maybe
the police chief, maybe Scotty Johnson, he has more lucid
moments than many, and do an intervention from Boone, Kenton Campbell,
from Butler Warren Claremont, maybe Dearborn, and go somewhere off
the record and assist our mayor and the governing authority

(32:20):
in Cincinnati of how to run a government. That would
be a great thing to do. As David Young has said,
he's tried before to get to this particular GQ mayor
and to say to after pureval, you know what you've done.
The damage that your policies have caused in the city
have resulted in billions of dollars worth of negative press

(32:41):
for the city of Cincinnati. Do you know what you're doing?
Do you need some help? And if that happens, the
intervention needs to take place quite soon, because we've got
stuff going on, and the tennis tournament is underway starting tomorrow,
all the matches, we have, all the Octoberfest and Taste
coming up. You might recall the Taste a couple months
ago had another incident with a black kid and the gun,

(33:03):
robbing people and breaking into cars that almost almost killed
a police officer on Fountain Square. And it's sad unless
the policy changes toward enforcing the laws, getting two hundred
more cops and telling judges as voters, if you don't
set bonds for criminals that are proportional to the offense,

(33:24):
you're going to kick you out of office. Then nothing
will change. Do you anticipate there's going to be significant change?
Raise your hand. I agree, no, there won't be, But
I want to try to help city council to understand
how stupid they appear. Oh, let's continue. Coming up next
as an interview, I spoke to Trisha Mackie, the Great Reporter,

(33:46):
the anchor of Channel nine Fox News, and she did
about a ten minute interview with Holly last name not
to be used, and to get Holly's perspective on what happened.
She was the lady who was laid out cold on
the main streets of Cincinnati by some of those perpetrators.
That's coming up next. It'll be Trisha Mackie interviewing Holly.
Then after two o'clock today will be Chris Smitherman who's

(34:08):
holding a powwow. Jim and Jack's down on River Road
on the west side of town with Veke Ramaswami. And
there are rumors that Avike Ramaswami is going to have
Christopher Smitherman as his lieutenant governor. And I think that'd
be a great idea. And now we're going to preview
that at two o'clock today, twelve fifty six. Homier Reds
Win tonight in Chicago on News Radio seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Radio Music Festival.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
To text the nationwide keyword music.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
To two hundred and two hundred.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
You'll get a confirmation text at INFO Standard Data and
mesidrates a fly in this nation wide contest.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
That's music to two hundred and two hundred. All right,
here we go. You know, I don't know how many
towns have dominant female anchors. I'd say about the only one.
But when I think about Fox nineteen, I think about

(35:04):
Tricia Mackie. When I think about Channel nine, when nine
stands for news, I think about Tanya O'Rourke. When I
think about Channel five, I think about Shiri Polo and
also Mike Artist. But let's face it, Schiriy Polo has
been there a long time. When I think of Channel twelve,
I think of Paula and her todies. So unlike many
other cities, we have dominant female anchors. The era of

(35:24):
the white male is done. We had a good run,
but it's over, and I accept I accept it completely. Heck,
the editor of the Inquirer is Kevin Aldry. She's a
black guy. He's a good man, but he's somewhat liberal.
But nonetheless, the heir of the white male is done.
Give you further proof of this, and we're going to
have the interview here between Trisha Mackie and Holly, the

(35:44):
woman who was begging to be beaten, according to Victoria Parks,
begging you to take the beat down. But when you think,
what is the gender of the Chief of Police of Cincinnati, correct,
What is the gender of all three county Commisson dree House,
Stephanie Dumas, and of course Alicia Reese. That's four female

(36:06):
and none no males. What is the gender of the
Hamley County Prosecutor? That would be a female. What is
the gender of the county corner that would be a female?
What is the gender of Hamny County Sheriff. For the
first time, ever, that would be anything female. What is
the gender of the Hamony County Auditor and Treasurer? That

(36:27):
would be a female. What is the gender of the
High Supreme Court Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy? That would be
a female. And I don't want to lead you to
a conclusion, but do you see a trend? Correct? The
trend is the heir of the white Christian straight male
is done. Had a good run, but it's over and

(36:49):
it's not coming back anytime soon. So Trisha MACKI scored
an interview with Holly whose last name I will not use,
to talk about what happened to her at Fourth and ELM.
I'm gonna give it a couple of days and then
give her a call see if she wants to come
on with me. But I think the interview with Tricia
Mackey that she shared with us about an hour ago

(37:10):
kind of says all that went on, all the victims
were white, all the perpetrators were black. I dare you
to make any racial conclusions. If you do, then you're
racializing the incident and you're the problem. I dare you
to do that. Don't do that. So let's hear now.
But this is the interview by Tricia McKie, the dominant

(37:31):
voice at Fox nineteen, in her interview with Holly Sean
McMahon hit it so.

Speaker 7 (37:37):
Tell me what you would like to say to people
who are wondering how you're doing.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Why.

Speaker 8 (37:43):
I just want to say I am healing, doubling today.
I've been able to move around, and you know, it's
been a very very very rough week, even in and
out of the hospitals seeing special Tomorrow I have more
specialists to see. There might be some major forever stuff

(38:08):
going on with me that I can't talk about, but
I just want to say that, you know, for so long,
I think so many of us have felt really hopeless
and helpless in the same aspect because I think evil
has just really run rampant, and I think that there
are so many people that love to hate, you know,

(38:31):
and they're on social media and they just they want
to ramp each other up and encourage hate out there.
And I just want you all to know, like.

Speaker 9 (38:42):
I don't hate the people.

Speaker 8 (38:43):
That did this to me.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
I don't. I know, you know, it.

Speaker 8 (38:48):
Sucked and there was definitely some evil involved. And when
they're in jail, I you know, I've been praying for
them every day and when they're in jail, I really
hope that they do find Jesus and they find love
and they find, you know, a different way of thinking,
because I think so many people think that they're part
of the solution when they are just loud and then louder,

(39:13):
and then more people are allowed on top of them,
and they keep hate talking, and I think at a
certain point, the hate spills over to, you know, retaliation.
I think at a certain point, you start desensitizing yourself
and you start convincing yourself that you know you need

(39:34):
to do this to to fight for your people, whether
you're black or white, or Republican or Democrat, or whether
you you know you're fighting for America versus foreign and
is coming in or whatever it is our nation. This
has become so divided in so many different realms. It

(39:54):
is beyond my like consciousness. And I just want to
say that on the GoFundMe page from Benny, it is
just nothing but love, and it is nothing but good and.

Speaker 10 (40:14):
Holy, and it is prayers.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
And even people are saying, hey, I don't I don't
have any money to give you, but I just want
to see you prayers, and that has just filled.

Speaker 11 (40:23):
My soul with hope for for our future, for our children.

Speaker 8 (40:31):
You know, I have a five year old and I
literally have been so terrified from.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
The time she was born.

Speaker 8 (40:39):
I'm like, what kind of country is she.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Gonna live in?

Speaker 8 (40:42):
Because everyone is so full of hate right now. I
can't even stab them the world she'll live in. But
I think, uh, I think we're gonna be okay because
the people who have been hiding for so long because
they're scared to say good things, you know, because they've

(41:03):
been chastised or bullied or beat down in the street
for being.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
A good person.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
I just think that.

Speaker 8 (41:12):
Is your time, is your time to come out of hiding.
It is your time to just keep those prayers going.
God is still with us, you know. The devil has
not taken over. And I don't I don't hate the
people that did this to me or you know, the
people who were evil on the streets. I think that,

(41:33):
you know, I pray for them the way that you
guys have been praying for me, and your prayers truly
have just gotten me through. I definitely had a near
death experience that I don't know.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
How I'm alive.

Speaker 8 (41:48):
I think God has a purpose and that is to
just tell you.

Speaker 11 (41:51):
All to keep praying, keep going, keep fighting the fight
of good, and those of you who are full of hey,
just please see a therapist.

Speaker 8 (42:04):
You know, see God. Stop trying to think that you
are the solution by using your fist in your hands,
and just start being part of the solution by helping. Tomorrow,
when there is a town hall meeting in Cincinnati and
there are people who are good who are trying to

(42:27):
come in and change all the evil that has happened,
do not retaliate, Do not do not can you shut
it down? Like it's okay to have a difference of opinions?
And I think our country has become just so woke
and so unholy that no one is allowed to have

(42:48):
an opinion or else you're gonna get beat down or else.
You know, I it has become just disgusting. So please,
even if you're a Democrat and a Republican talking or
vice versa. If you're a Republican and Democrat is there,
don't don't use your fists or your hate. Listen, It's

(43:08):
okay to be different, and that is what makes the
world better by compromise and coming together. You know, I
have been sickened by the gentleman who saw the video
of what happened to me and the other victims on
the street and thought he would retaliate. It was a

(43:30):
white guy, young man who was trying to call a
bunch of other white supremacists to go retaliate on the
streets and said he wanted to kill thirty thousand people
by August third, and I have I'm.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Just that I can't.

Speaker 8 (43:50):
I don't have words for that. Do not do not retaliate. Please,
if you feel angry about this, pick up your pens
in your paper and start writing your politicians and start
writing your local you know, governor, senator, whatever. Like if
you feel that you have been injusticed, I know that's
not a word, but I don't know the right word

(44:10):
right now. My train still isn't working. But if if
you've been in justice in any way and you feel
like your voice hasn't been heard, please, like if it
was the police that has that has shrunned you, go
to the next level, write a letter and send it in.
Because how can anyone make a change if you don't
use your voice, stop using your fist and use your

(44:33):
voice and make a change. You can change this just
like I'm a single mom who sells insurance and houses,
so you know, and and if I'm able to make
a change and bring love back to the community, by God,
please all of you come together and show love. Just
do not retaliate tomorrow and in the future, you know,

(44:58):
just please help us and help the children. If it's
not for you, do it for the children for the future.
And please please start showing love because obviously the hate
that is out there is not helping and it has
become such a problem. Just let's try something different.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Let's be kind.

Speaker 8 (45:22):
And if I can find love and kindness and forgiveness
for the people who literally almost killed me and have
probably caused a brain injury for the rest of my life,
I think that you guys can find forgiveness for the
people who maybe had some things to hurt your feelings

(45:43):
along the way. Like please stop looking at everything as
a well they're Jewish and I'm Catholic, or they're black
and I'm white. Look like a humans as humans, because
there was a foreigner and a black man who picked
me up off that street during all of this, And
I just want you to know, like we come together

(46:05):
in the craziest times and this is the time, this
is the time.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Come together. Let's do this.

Speaker 8 (46:11):
Come on America, be America, and uh, you know, let's
show the rest of the world that we're not divided
and we got this.

Speaker 7 (46:20):
We got this.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I think that's perfect.

Speaker 7 (46:23):
I mean, if you can't find hate, if you don't
have hate in your heart for what happened to you
and the pain that you're in right now, no one
has an excuse.

Speaker 8 (46:32):
And no, and to those of you who feel like
you are just so desensitized from all of the just
anger and hatred you're seeing on social media, go to
Benny's go fund me. Do not. I'm not telling you
to donate money.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (46:51):
I'm telling you to go read the love and feel
the presence of good and maybe this could help respoce
your soul like it has me, because I'm telling you,
I was in a real dark place in my life
before this, and I have been so refilled up just
nothing but love and positivity that I can't I can't

(47:14):
even hate what's happened to me. I just pray for
them and I want them to find peace.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Like I have found peace of my soul.

Speaker 8 (47:22):
So you know, I just read one one.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Section of your life. Just take five minutes.

Speaker 8 (47:27):
To read that, because it is that. You'll see why
I can't even talk when I think about it, because
it is just so humbling.

Speaker 7 (47:37):
Yeah, I've seen some of it. It's you know, there's
so many good people out there. Let me ask you this, Holly,
and do you right now, if you've had an opportunity,
you know, if your if your head felt better, would
you go downtown? Do you feel safe? Do you think
one needs to be done?

Speaker 8 (47:54):
I don't feel safe at all. To be honest with you,
I don't, but I I want so badly to be there,
and I want so badly to tell everyone please please
stop fighting and just let's let's make Cincinnati great again.

(48:14):
I know, you know Trump is making America great again.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
He is, you know, that's his slogan.

Speaker 8 (48:19):
But I'm saying, let's just at least let's start in Cincinnati.
Let's make it great again. Let's stop fighting, let's stop retaliating,
Let's stop the corrupt and injustice that's going on for
black and white and Americans and foreigners of Republicans and
Democrats and liberals. You know, let's let's make everyone great again.
Because when I was a kid, and I used to

(48:42):
go to the Cincinnati Red games and Bangle games and
walk around and those are the happiest memories ever.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (48:49):
And I if I had Trump's security, the President's security
with me right now, I still wouldn't even feel safe
walking around Cincinnati until the streets get cleaned out. I mean,
it has gotten that bad. I feel like it's like
Batman in Gotham City.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
And that's how bad it truly is.

Speaker 8 (49:06):
It's almost like a movie and you can't even sell
them that it's real. I I know there are some
things that I can't comment on of whether it's a
hate crime or not, because there's an an investigation. I
know what it was, but I'm not trying to mess

(49:26):
up an investigation.

Speaker 12 (49:28):
But I'm just I just want to say, stop looking
at it as color, Stop looking at people as black
and white, and please take off take off those rose
colored glasses, and start looking.

Speaker 8 (49:40):
At it as you are my neighbor. You are someone's
sister and daughter and mother, and you you could help,
you know, everyone could help each other to bring this
whole country better. You know, at least your city, help your.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
City to be better.

Speaker 8 (50:00):
Stop looking at it as black and white. It is
disgusting and gross.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
We're all humans.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Please look deeper than that.

Speaker 8 (50:08):
And you know, if somebody, if you don't like someone,
or do you think they're evil or they're gross, go
pray for them. Go pray for them. Stop saying, well,
they're black, so I.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Don't like them.

Speaker 8 (50:17):
They're white, well I don't like them. Go pray for
the person you don't like and see how much better
our society could be.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
That was most of the interview between Tricia Mackie and
Holly All of It's going to air later tonight on
Fox nineteen. Under the leadership of Tricia Mackie, the message
is clear that downtown Cincinnati is not safe, despite the
efforts of the mayor and others to actu if the
you know, the facts are down, the statistics, to hell
with the statistics. The reality is it's not safe. He

(50:46):
reminds me of Reginald Denny. You might recall him. It
was one of the truck drivers pulled out of his car,
out of his truck by uh. I think it was
Damien was his name, Damien Football Williams. He had a
reputation of noting people out and kicking their heads like footballs.
He was called, and then Reginald Denny at some point

(51:06):
as he recovered from the traumatic brand injury, met up
with Damian Football Williams and he apologized. Except their forgiveness
offers and a way you go. That's what Holly is saying.
But number one, there has to be first a recognition
of recognition. We got a problem before it can be fixed.
And I want the intervention to take place between Dave Young,

(51:29):
Richard K. Jones, Rob Sanders and others to meet with
city council behind closed doors and read the ride out
of those clowns and tell them Cincinnati's got to change
the mayor, the GQ mayor f Ted Pireval needs an intervention.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundreds WLW.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
It was a horrific fight.

Speaker 13 (51:51):
But as counselmember and others have said, we have significant
other public safety challenges. We have children who are are
far too often the victims of gun violence. We have
oftentimes far too often the perpetrators of gun violence being children.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
We have violent crime, like.

Speaker 13 (52:10):
Every other major city across the nation, that requires our
attention and our bandwidth, and so I don't traditionally meet
or speak to every victim of violent crime in our city,
and that's consistent with my approach.

Speaker 7 (52:25):
Today.

Speaker 6 (52:29):
Hello, quiet and spoke, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Nice segment. The student's reporters now in their way with
Ted McKay, and first of all, I need your comments
on the tennis facility. I understand Joe Wilson from Ohio State,
and we give up golf completely and start playing tennis.
Explain what happened at the tennis facility this morning, Willy.
We got a tour today at the Cincinnati Open, and

(52:57):
all I can say is it's incredible. It's spectacular, and
even if you're not a tennis fan, go buy a
tick and just go around, just go eat. The picnic
area is now like seven times the size that it
used to be, the facade on the center court, everything
is wonderful. I mean, they've even got seats if you

(53:18):
want to watch practice, practice, practice, practice.

Speaker 5 (53:21):
Talking about practice, they got seats for practice segment.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
The Navarro and of course, Warren County Commissioners, led by
Dave Young and John Barrett, said we're going to spend
two hundred and seventy million dollars and get it done
within eleven months. All good. You can't build a house
in eleven months. You've built many homes for your mansions
and everything. You can't build them right, correct, Now, explain
there was a young man from Ohio State, not Jack Nicholas, however,

(53:49):
who they're calling him little Jack, Little Jack, he's Little Jack.
Also little Joe from the Bonanza who won the Ohio Amateur.
He's here. Now describe what happened, Willy.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
Let's see four years after winning the Ohio High School
Athletic Association Division one State golf championship as a Lakota
East senior.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
How many strokes would you give me? Joe Wilson?

Speaker 5 (54:10):
The fourth is the twenty twenty five Ohio Golf Association's
Ohio Amateur champion.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
And Joe Wilson, your dad's a great listener of ours.
Lives Where does he live in town? Look Westchester, west Chester,
and describe the putt that you made. I saw it
on TV somehow. That was like a twenty five thirty footer.
It was twisting to the left, then I went to
the right, then I went uphill, then I went downhill,
then I went back to the left, back to the right,

(54:37):
and I said, that's one hell of a putt to
win the title. Explain that putt.

Speaker 14 (54:41):
Yeah, it was a it was an amazing moment, that's
for sure. I had about three feet three feet, three
feet left.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
I'm gonna tell you the story.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
It was longer for some eyes.

Speaker 14 (54:53):
It was about the longest three footer I've ever had
to make, and it went in and I just I
kind of blocked out there for a second, got down
on my kne ease, and next thing I know, I'm
hugging my family and lifting a really heavy trophy.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
You and Jack Nicholas both won the Ohio Amateur.

Speaker 14 (55:07):
Yeah, so it's a it's a it's it's an elite
group of people to be a part of.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
And I'm really you're a young fella, like twenty one,
you can barely drink beer.

Speaker 14 (55:14):
Right twenty two? Yeah, just during twenty two. What do
you want to be when you grow up? A professional golfer?
That's the goal?

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Segment?

Speaker 5 (55:21):
An agent and make the big bucks? Goes right now,
I'm gonna be.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
All right. So the Oomateur was at z Town, right
zanz Angel And and you played in it before.

Speaker 14 (55:32):
I've played in the Hollo Amate before and I was
laughing with the administrators there from the Hoigo Golf Association.
I haven't had much luck in that golf tournament to
that point.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I had. I made a couple of cuts, but never
really gave it a run.

Speaker 14 (55:45):
And this week was was definitely special. Together, it all
came together.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
There was a congressman named Joe Wilson, South Carolina who

Speaker 1 (59:34):
You're a plug. You know what that plus six means.
He averages six strokes below Park. So it it's a
seventy two, it's a sixty six. That's what he shoots.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
Maybe Joe that invitation of Kenwichustry Club.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
Indiana is nineteenth in the preseason poll.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
How much you know money's at Ohio State football? Isn't
it some ridiculous number?

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
The nil out there is absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
How much do you want? We'll give it to you, yes, sir.
And Jack Nicholas gives big money to Ohio statement. He's
like the sponsor of golf, isn't he is?

Speaker 14 (01:03:30):
He's the elder statesman of golf, that's for sure. He
supports us very generously.

Speaker 5 (01:03:34):
Seg man, your reaction love the Golden Bear? Willie nobody better?

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Yep, you know you can argue. I'll send you the
comparison between Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods. Who's the better golfer?
And I always said Tiger because Tiger won three straight
junior ams won three state US Ams six years in
a row, he won national tournaments every year. He then
goes on and wins fifteen majors eighty two. Overall, his

(01:03:59):
troke averaged less than Jack. Money won, of course, is
more than Jack and He. But compared to the four majors,
Jack Nicholas won eighteen and finished second seventeen times. That's
thirty five times he was first or second. Tiger won
fifteen and was second six twenty one compared to thirty five.

(01:04:22):
So Jack had significantly more performance than the majors. So
write that down. I'll send you the comparison. A friend
of mine said he thought it was Tiger until he
did look in the record books and it was Jack
and Jack today with the swing he had his swing
speed of approximately one hundred and twenty in the video
with that with Simmon Woods, where would he hit the

(01:04:44):
ball today with today's quill?

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
So far much further.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Joe Wilson, congratulations, you're You're a winner on the golf
course and I'll be a winner in life.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Well you come back next year if you win it
all again, that's the goal. Come back again. Segment, Give
me out of the Studs report. We have Chris Smitherman
coming up next. He's got a powwow with a fake Ramaswami.
You knew who Avike Ramaswami is.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
You're about to find out. He's on at two oh
five today with a big Powwell at Jim and Jacks
and what's your dad's first name? Joe as well, Joe Wilson. Joe,
he was the congressman from south here, I said, I
bet he was. You're a liar that didn't go over
too well. No segment, Get me out of the stuge report,
Willie and utter of a beautiful day here at the
tri State.

Speaker 5 (01:05:25):
We leave you with the immortal words of the stood report.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
I thought the rain was done. The rain is not done.
I thought that was yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
It's a new day.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
We're in Apalachia.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Well, the rain was not done. Now the reds were done.
Took him twenty four hours. A play a game goes
the incompetence of Rob Manford's staff. Do you agree, yes,
Joe Wilson, Thank you, Thank you, guys. Continue with more
Chris Smitherman. What's going to happen tonight at five thirty
at Jim and Jacks it's a vike Ramaswami. I love
saying that name because I can say it shows up.

(01:06:00):
But five thirty ever been to Jim and Jackson?

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Yes, sir, let's go to get down there now there
now packed and stacked.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Billy Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WW Billy Cunningham, the
Great American. Of course, the other day was put together
a town hall meeting, which I love these events in
which the media largely is ignored. The activists have their say,

(01:06:27):
but normal people can come together this afternoon five thirty
at Jim and Jacks. I've been there once or twice.
By the way, they have great Hamburgers on River Road,
which is on the outskirts of Cincinnati near dal High Township.
But nonetheless Jim and Jacks as the sight is today
of vivek Ramaswami. The man who would be the governor
is winning in the polls by about forty percent. But

(01:06:48):
of course, viaveg Ramaswami once a local connection, and there's
no better local connection to what's happening here than Christopher Smitherman,
former Vice mayor, been on council for many years, former
President ANDAACP and he's going to be there with the
ak ramaswaman to keep an eye on things and Vice
Mayor Smitherman, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
first of all, over the last time ago nine or

(01:07:10):
ten days. This is such a big story that Scott
Sloan relates that on the outback of Australia where he
spent the last ten days, he was in a hut
somewhere and his phone was able to get a signal
and he's watching the events in Cincinnati, eight thousand miles away.
I got calls from Europe, which happens every now and then,
from the BBC and elsewhere. Also spoke to some German

(01:07:34):
radio station about what's happening in America, what's happening in Cincinnati,
which is emblematic. They're telling me of every major city
in America. So how does Christopher Smitherman, the former president
of the NAACP, a leader in this town, how do
you process what happened ten days ago?

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Well, one is I hope tonight that I can do
a good job representing Cincinnati having been the former vice mayor,
and I make everybody proud. And the message is one
of of solutions and hope and giving people the opportunity
to share what they think the solutions are. But I

(01:08:12):
think part of it has to be looking at what's
been happening at city Hall. We don't want to be
an ostrich put our head in the sand and act
like the comments that are coming from the President pro
Tim for example, saying that those who were victims begged
for the fight, for the beatdown that happened, like we can.
We can't avoid these big things. That's what that's what's

(01:08:34):
been happening. We've been sweeping these things under the rug.
There's no one there. Holly did not deserve to be
punched in the face. I thought she was dead when
she hit the ground, the way her eyes went still
on the video, the blood that came out of her mouth,
I've never seen anything more serious and more horrific. And
I really haven't been able to watch the video more

(01:08:56):
than one or two times because of the violence, the
wa you eat stuff that I saw Willie. A lot
of people have not seen that part of the video
where you have this African American male who's acting like
he's jumping off the top rope in some in sometime
for ring and landing on the body of the white
male that's in the middle of the street. And he
did that two or three times. It was through the

(01:09:17):
cheers of the of the crowd watching while they were
videotaping it. And then we saw the man who just
was was knocked out, and and the and the commentator
was saying, here it Colins put him to sleep. They
put him, They punch him in his face, They tell
him he shouldn't be walking out downtown. They tell him
this is karma. They grab his leg and pull him
in the middle of the street as he's knocked out.

(01:09:38):
This is what actually happened. And we've got to face
the reality of what's happening. And I don't understand the
mayor at his press conference having been gone probably a
week a week and a half, but let's say it's
been a week to come back in town. I was
really looking for his leadership to say, first what happened
to the victims was wrong and that he doesn't condone
it at all. Two that he called for the resignation

(01:10:01):
of council member Victoria Parks, who made the comment that
the victims were begging for it. I was looking for
that from the leadership of the strong mayor. And then
The third part was for him to be very clear
that he was against violence, any violence.

Speaker 10 (01:10:15):
There is no.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
Excuse, there is no way that you can explain this away.
So everybody walked away thinking, it's our fault, it's Willie's fault,
it's the media's fault, it's the alcohol's fault, it's everybody.
It's the police department. They had no part in it.
They had to. You know, it's like the mayor, the
city manager, the police chief, the members of council took
no ownership for being understaffed, underprepared for big events that

(01:10:42):
were happening in downtown. Your mayor was absent and then
took the vacation. He didn't own any of it. And
that's what we needed to hear from him on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Going back a little bit, you're a father. I'm a father,
hopefully I think you have a grand child. I have
a couple. I love them with my life anything, and
to use your five year old son as an excuse
to be absent from your job is despicable. Let's go
back a little bit. It wasn't a secret the dates
of the music festival. It wasn't a secret the reds

(01:11:11):
are in town against Tampa. It wasn't a secret that
the ice cube, my new wrapping buddy, was having his
big three tennis to turn. And in other words, there's
a quarter of a million people, mainly from out of town,
coming to Cincinnati to your town. And so when you
schedule time with your family, which everyone needs, you don't
do it for that weekend. You don't say, Okay, of
all the weekends, I could take, let's take let's go

(01:11:33):
to Canada for that week. And I thought it was
week for him to use his son's five year old
before he goes to half day kindergarten in two weeks.
We need we needed some time alone in Canada. Now
that was weak. I wanted a mayor to come up
with a better excuse than that. But secondly, when you
had Victoria Parks saying that the Holly begged for that beatdown,

(01:11:56):
the knockout game. One punch and you're out, that Victoria
park mar we all have bad days. I mean, you've
said things I've said, but then to double down a
couple of days later and say, you know what, that's
exactly what I think should have happened.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
Holly begged to be punched like that. To me, it
is despicable. But here can I ask you? The big
question is a little bit early. Oh, I asked you
because you and I are brothers from a different mother.
It can be Cincinnati, Atlanta, Memphis, Chicago.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Just pick the city. I've done a little quick math.
Cincinnati is a majority white community, if someone wants to
think about it in the racial terms. According to US
Census Bureau in twenty twenty, fifty percent or white in
the city, forty five percent or black, and five percent
shallisy or others. I never answer questions on these questionnaires.

(01:12:46):
What race am I? I'm an American. I'm in the
human race. I don't add, subtract, multiply, and divide by race,
but a whole bunch of them Democratic Party does. It's
all about race. And a few had situations with the
first example Jesse Similette, it was all about race and
the media went crazy. Tijuana Brawley was all about race

(01:13:06):
and the media went nuts. The Duke La Cross charade
went nuts. The Covington Kids from Covington Catholic went crazy.
Michael Brown, hands up, don't shoot, The media went crazy.
The NASCAR nows and media went nuts. George Zimmerman became
a white Hispanic when he killed Trayvon Martin. It's always
about race. The media surveys the scene and tries to

(01:13:27):
find something about race, but it's a certain cont of
racial story. Here's my question. I'm getting ready to ask
you a question. Because you're a great father from a
good family. I'll never forget. I'm a Christ Hospital with
a family member. I go into this little chapel and
there's a chapel dedicated to your father at Christ Hospital,
and I said, man, that's special. We live in a

(01:13:49):
city in which the face of crime is a young
black male face. And I've run some brief numbers about
six percent of the city of Cincinnati, it is between
the ages of fifteen and thirty. Six percent black males
between the age of fifteen and thirty that commit about
eighty to ninety percent of the crime in the city.

(01:14:10):
The majority. It's the majority white city. And I don't
see a whole I think your friend and mine, Damon
Lynch said, all the pictures on TV were black males. Well,
they're the ones who committed the offenses. If the opposite
have been true, they have white males, and white males
commit all kinds of offenses all the time. So why is
it that six percent of the population of the city

(01:14:32):
of Cincinnati commit eighty to ninety percent of the crime Why.

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
Well, well, part of that is just the breakdown of
the family. I mean, at the heart of it, right,
we have fathers that are not fully engaged with their children.
It's a big issue. I have been advocating to Hamilton
County to make sure that they hold dad's accountable for
child support. That's another big problem. You can't have someone

(01:15:00):
who's working under the table, working with businesses and leaving
the mothers without getting their resources. But at the end
of the day, the quick question is family breakdown. We
have a public school system that's not up to par.
The biggest way to get out into the middle class
is a great education, not having a child early in

(01:15:20):
your life. These are just kind of two basic things.
If you hit a bad education, you have a children,
a child too early in life, where you have like
a sixteen year old who's raising a child, it is
very difficult to get into the middle class, in the
upper middle class, and so we have this dynamic that's
going on. But it's also important for me to tell

(01:15:41):
my white brother that you know, the super majority of
African Americans in this country, not just in Cincinnati and
Hambach County, get up every day, go to work, pay
their bills, and are not involved in any of this
craziness that you're talking about. And they are the silent majority,
meaning they're calling me, going, lord, what in the world
is happening, Like why do I have? Why am I
looking at my stream? No matter what has happened like

(01:16:05):
this notion that poverty and values are connected are wrong.
They're people who are poor who have very high values.
They're single mothers out there every day who are taking
their kids to school, doing their homework with them, making
sure they're they're doing everything they can to support their
family and their moms and dads who have children in
their homes that are African American, the super majority of

(01:16:28):
them trying to handle their business. So I think it's
important that we frame this as these are a very
small number of people, and these are people that continue
to repeat the crime. We have judges that are not
doing their job. Really, it's one part of this, like
if you've got somebody with a gun that shoots somebody,
why are they having these low bonds? Why are they
letting them out. That makes no sense to me. We

(01:16:48):
have prosecutors that want to prosecute, and we have cops
that want to do their job. But if a cop
arrest somebody and then one after, you know, they arrest
them on a Friday, on a Monday, a shooter, we
call them a shooter they're back on the street, undermines
the whole judicial system. So it's a very big picture
thing that includes the public school system and its own
failures in the city of Cincinnati and across the United

(01:17:10):
States of America. The other point that I want to
make is the LA Mayor and the mayor of the
City of Cincinnati have something in common. Both of them
like to travel at the wrong time.

Speaker 7 (01:17:20):
I mean, he.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Didn't even learn from what we saw right by the
LA Mayor that here here, she's out of the country.
I think she was in Africa while there were wildfires
burning in La. Meaning this mayor knew that we had
high levels of violence that were happening on the banks,
youth that we are not in check. We had curfews

(01:17:42):
that were not being enforced. We had a big three,
three big events that are happening in your downtown. And
you decide to go to a mayor's conference, leave the
mayor's conference, and then go to some type of vacation,
Meaning there was nothing he was willing to give up
to make sure that his town was together. I'm saying
to you that remember the mayor, the vice mayor, and

(01:18:03):
President pro tem. The President pro tem has said publicly
and doubled down on it. What happened to those victims,
including Holly? They begged for it. I do there's a
problem at city Hall, and I think that the election
in November, if the fifty two neighborhoods don't get it now,
they'll never get it if they don't know if Product Hills,
North Side, Clifton as examples, Roseline, bond Hill, Westwood Price.

(01:18:30):
So if they don't get it now based on what
they're seeing, the lack of leadership that's coming out of
city Hall in November, they don't want to make a change,
then guess what elections have consequences?

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Will the cutting in I would also did a little
quick figuring, and we're talking about six percent committing about
eighty nine percent of the crime. However, that's six percent
has a total? Is there block mails between the ages
of fifteen and thirty. There's approximately twenty thousand males between
the ages of fifteen and thirty in the city of Cincinnati,

(01:19:04):
twenty thousand, and of that number, about one thousand commit
disproportionate commit the crime. So that means about ninety five
percent of young black kids are functional performing, not taking
but the six percent commit eighty ninety percent but the

(01:19:26):
crime of crime. But ninety to ninety five percent of
black youth in the city of Cincinnati males aren't committing
any crime at all. So those are the numbers. That's
a blair to me, and I don't want America or
Cincinnati to descend into a tribal morass of double standards
and racial fixations. Let's deal with the behavior of that

(01:19:50):
group or that individual, white, Black, or otherwise, deal with
the behavior in a fair harsh way, but let's not
paint with such a broad brush. When when I see
a young black kid, I think about your children. I
don't think about Ryan Hinton. I think about and if
there's four kids coming at me and they're white, and
they have tattoos and their hats are on crooked, I'm

(01:20:13):
thinking this might be a problem. I got four black
guys walking toward me that look like you, I don't
see a problem, but I'm looking for it, and so
and so we have to understand, don't throw the baby
out with the bathwater. Now, what's gonna happen this afternoon
at five thirty with you in favek Ramaswami.

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
If anything solutions, you know, at an opportunity for people
to come and vent, obviously, but then at the end
of the day, this is about bringing us together and
being productive, and so that's the that's the objective of it.
I hope that the mayor and the leadership of city
council because believe me, they could have called a special
session of counsel and kind of come out of summer

(01:20:52):
recess anywhere in this I would have done that if
I were the vice mayor. I think Mayor John Cranley
would have done that if he were the mayor. As
a matter of fact, John crann we would not have
left the city with three officers downtown, you know, at
two or three o'clock in the morning. You know, I
think people miss John Cranley and they can see the difference.
As hard as John could be, they can now see

(01:21:12):
the difference between his leadership and the current leadership. But
having said that, this is all about positive energy, giving
people an opportunity to share their stories, and for us
to also send a different message out of Cincinnati, right
because the message right now is that we're okay with this,
that we're okay with African Americans beating up white people

(01:21:33):
in the middle of the street and making excuses for it.
There is no excuse for this violence. People say, well,
someone used the in word. I've listened to the video, Willie.
You cannot determine who's using the inn word, right. That's
number one. Number two, that the slap that we talk
about right like that doesn't excuse twenty or thirty people
descending on four or five people, kicking them in the head,

(01:21:56):
slamming them on the ground, knocking them out, punching a
woman in the and almost killing her. That was like second,
that was like almost murder to me. Nothing that I
have heard excuses it. When I don't understand, I really
do not understand this. I don't understand why the mayor
while why while anybody on council, the city manager, while

(01:22:16):
why it seems like they're protecting those criminals who are
engaging in that behavior. I don't get it. You know,
at the end of the day, if you're a leader
in this city, you're and I'm the former president of
the Cincinnati in Double ACP. This is where you weigh
in as the n DOUBLEACP, and you call a ball
a ball, a strike, a strike. Remember the NAACP was

(01:22:37):
started by Jewish people, white people and African Americans. It's
a group that's about bringing people together. It's not a
divisive group. You're just supposed to be out there calling
ball's ball, strike strike. If I were the president of
the Cincinnati in DOUBACP, I would be on the record
saying what happened in downtown was not even close to
our best, that this was not a fight. I wouldn't

(01:22:59):
even use that word. This was an ambush. This was
an ambush. This was something that never should have happened.
And I even am taking a step and I owned
it that I think that this was a hate clime.
I think that we should view it that way until differently,
and that's why the federal government is looking at it.
Willie Cunningham meaning if this were in reverse in conclusion,

(01:23:21):
in my comment, if this were in reverse, meaning if
there were a group of white people that have surrounded
three or four or five African Americans in the streets.
They were doing the WWE, jumping off like and slamming
their bodies on people, knocking them out. They knocked out
an African American woman cold and looking like she was
almost dead. We would have everybody in the city of

(01:23:42):
Cincinnati marching on us, demanding justice for everything. And that's
the reality. And we've got to make sure that we
don't send the message that the white people that were
downtown that their life is worth less than anybody else's life.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
I need you to get back in public service if possible,
But we got to run. Christopher Smitherman five thirty today,
you and favek Ramaswami at Jim and Jackson River Road
on the outskirts of Cincinnati. I've been there a couple
of times. I love Jim and Jackson. Christopher Smitherman, good
luck in five ye Can.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
I just correct one thing. Jim and Jackson is in
the city of Cincinnati. It's about two miles out. Is
not in jil I and I want to tease those
who live on the eastern side of town like they're
not going to California, Like this is like just the
west side of town, and it's about a couple of
miles out, so it is absolutely the owner lives in

(01:24:32):
Price Hill. He's lived in the same house for fifty
four years, he's owned the business for forty one years,
and the super majority of all of his employees actually
live and pay taxes in the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
To make that good luck tonight at five thirty, good luck,
let's continue with more. Remember race should not matter when
it comes to this kind of human behavior. Treat the
behavior and don't blame a race for the misbehavior of
a few. Bill Cunningham News Radio SE one hundred WLW.

you do eight more lines of verse, then four more
lines and rapping at the air like say, I guess
song is like the chorus is what carries them, like
we are the water Man by Billy Joel plays and

to the course. Hose then more verse and then he
goes back to that course. So the court us is

(01:28:00):
what you want to be the highlight of the song.
The verse explains the chorus and supports it. I was

months is incredible. We leave you with the immortal words
of the Stood Report.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Cincinnata is a place to come. I think Marty could
introduce me in my rap career. Him and Tom would
not be something.

Speaker 5 (01:31:47):
He could be your cape man like James Brown.

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
I don't think Marty would want any part of this.
Soul brother number two, I could be somebody on seven
hundred you walk down again the Great America. Of course,
the tournament starts tomorrow. All hell's breaking loose, and the
Reds are doing the best they can under difficult circumstances,
and they're looking forward to the wildcard spot. But this

(01:32:10):
event in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Open, starting tomorrow, goes on
for two weeks. It's like having the Baseball All Star
Game here every year. Jonan, you and I now is
Pete Halderman. He's the PR director of the Cincinnati Open.
And I'm looking at the pictures you've given me. Twenty
twenty four footprint and then look at twenty twenty five.
Tell the American people what's happened the past year to

(01:32:32):
really transform this thing.

Speaker 9 (01:32:33):
Well, very casually, we doubled the acreage, so we've gone
from twenty to forty acres. We've added a fifty six
thousand square foot clubhouse which is going to be player
dining and recovery space for them now, but will become
a community asset of public.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
Rash fifty six thousand square feet, Yes, but the players
only until they leave and then then it's a community
asset YEP.

Speaker 9 (01:32:53):
A six court indoor building. We've added really to the
south of campus. We built thirteen new courts. The total
records on campus now thirty one. There's a bunch of
fan spaces. There's the Commons, which has thirteen restaurants. There's
the Pavilion, which is going to be programmed for a
bunch of different things with our partners. There's a fan
a couple fan lawns. So you know, the people come

(01:33:15):
out to the Sinai Open typically spend about eight hours
on campus. It's not like going to the game that's
your seat for a couple hours. You're going to move
around all day. You're gonna want to stretch your legs.
We've got different food and drink all over the campus activations,
we got bands playing, we got autograph sessions, all kinds
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
Why did this thing happen?

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (01:33:32):
I was with Dave Yonga with John Barrett and on
the beginning, done look good. This heavyweight from Charlotte, he
wants to move it there. But then he came here.
Tell the story of the what's the guy's name, the
big rich guy, Well, Bendavarrow is the RB Sports.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:33:48):
So yeah, they came and experienced it and they saw
the way that this is such a community event here
and I think that really encouraged them of what it
could be, and then they were able to figure out
how to grow. So the reason why we're growing is
the mandy from the tours to expand from fifty six
players to ninety six players and then expand the number
of days to the two weeks that is starting this year.
So we had to figure out how to make that

(01:34:09):
growth happen. We needed to add all these courts, We
needed to add these player amenities because it's not just
you're adding forty players. They all have a coach, they
all have a physio, so it's you know, you got
to accommodate a few hundred more people.

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
So the location, the fifteen hundred volunteers, the corporate buy
in for him to stay in Charlotte, and the Star
from dead zero. He said, Man, this is too much.
I got something good. Let's take something good and make
it the best. And we've got you know, you mentioned
the location.

Speaker 9 (01:34:35):
We have so many people who come in from out
of town because it's a pretty easy drive, you know,
and they can get in the car from Detroit or Chicago, Cleveland, Nashville,
be here in five hours and enjoy the world's best
tennis players.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
As far as a lot of players didn't play last
week because getting ready for this one. US opens about
three weeks away. Give me the rundown of the top
men and women players that'll be here.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:34:56):
So right now, the men's game is focused on the
big two. We had the Big three era of Nadal, Djokovic,
and Federer. We're now into this era of Sinner and
Alcarez and they've really got a stranglehold on it. It'll
be interesting to see how they hold up as they
transition now into hard courts. They just met in the
French Open final and the Wimbledon final, so great rivalry

(01:35:16):
going there. American tennis is in a great place. They're
three American men in the top ten, four American women
in the top ten, and I think the women's game
is very wide open. Arena Sabolenka is number one in
the world. She's defending the.

Speaker 1 (01:35:27):
One shouldn't she last year Coco Shouldn't. Shabolenka is like
the best there is, but she keeps losing well.

Speaker 9 (01:35:33):
She won the US Open last year, she won our
title last year, so she's not doing too bad. But yeah,
she's had some falls in the end of the Grand
Slams this year, so she's she's feeling some pressure to
come through in the big moments, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
What if you're a regular schlep like Segman Dennison and
tickets available, I found the best time to go is
Wednesday Tuesday. I don't like being there with thousands of
people watching the finals. That was fun. Roger Federer was
there looking at my wife. I've felt uncomfortable about that,
but that's a different story. So if you're a regular schlap,
why can the best time to go is Monday or

(01:36:06):
Tuesday Wednesday.

Speaker 9 (01:36:07):
Well, really, you can choose your own adventure, and because
we're now two weeks, there's a lot more you can
experience if you actually go on to Cincinnatiopen dot com.
We have a personality test. Tell us what you like.
Do you like the crowds or would you prefer it
to be a little more quiet. Do you want the
great food or do you just want to get your
hot dog and move on with it? Will fit your
personality for the best time to come out and enjoy
the Cincinnati Open. So check it's available, Yes, sir, absolutely

(01:36:31):
all sessions two weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:36:32):
Come on out.

Speaker 1 (01:36:33):
You can come a bunch of times.

Speaker 9 (01:36:36):
Finals around a Monday. Tickets are available for that one.
Really yeah, you know, I don't know, it's the top
of my head, but and it's amazing though, because for
some of the early rounds it's extremely affordable. I think
we started eight dollars for the first day of play tomorrow,
so come on out.

Speaker 5 (01:36:50):
Yeah eight dollars. Yeah, all right, till once again, what's
the website.

Speaker 9 (01:36:53):
Cincinnati Oopen dot com. And then once you're out there,
experience all the food and drink we have. Check out
the Cincinnati Open shop, get some gear, get the jumbo
tennis ball, go get those autographs from those players.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
And Pete Alderman, I don't want to put you on
the spot, but let's do it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
Who wins the men's side?

Speaker 3 (01:37:09):
Who wins the men's side? Uh? I think sinner might
repeat well.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
Now on the women's side, I'm going with Coca.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
I'm going Cocoa.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
But do you like Sabolenka. Yeah, I'm going Cocoa to
win the title segment. Can't say her name, Sabolinka doesn't
roll off? Yeah, you gotta do. I get Coco, Coco.
Coca's good, Coca's playing well. Pete Alderman, you're a great American.
Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

An incident that has made national headlines recently comes as
the city works to address violent crime with the three
o'clock report. I'm Sean Gabligher breaking now. As an investigation
continues into the violin Brawlin downtown Cincinnati late last month,
which when five or after video of it was posted online.
One of the four in that incident who have been
arrested so far back in court today to face additional charges.

(01:38:05):
Thirty seven year old Dominique Kittle was initially charged over
the weekend with Folonia's assault and aggravated riot. Today, he
was charged with an additional account of felonious assault and
two counts of assault. An attorney for Kittle believes competency
in the case might be an issue since Kittle suffered
