Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common
sense will see us through.

This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
All right, Happy Thursday, Welcome to our show today. Can
I get something off my chest right from the get?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I need therapy for this. I'll start by saying this
is if somebody who's on the radio. I have people
who follow me and correct my grammar all the time,
my mother in law being top amongst the group. She
doesn't do it as much as she used to, but
she used to be all about the She's like a
(00:57):
She wasn't a former English teacher, but she might as
well have been. That's who I usually get contacted by
our former English teachers who have a problem with something
I've said because it wasn't proper grammar. I get that
if you have that knowledge base and you're always perfect
with your grammar and you hear somebody who is in
it can drive you crazy. Well, and I can relate
(01:17):
to that because it's the same way for me when
it comes to news reporters who act like lemmings and
report something as something it isn't. And the story that
is bugging the crap out of meat today is the story.
Did you hear about this shooting that happened yesterday here
in Houston? Some woman got shot on the freeway by
(01:40):
guy me just riddled her car with bullets. Then there
was a second shooting not all that far away that
occurred at a at a mechanics place of business. And
then two shootings, actually two mechanics got shot. And then
there was a third location where this guy shot himself
(02:03):
and it was described as a road rage incident. It began,
it's described as beginning as a road rage incident. Well,
I'm going to play the report for you. You'll hear
our television partner, a KPRC to report as a road
rage incident at least to start, and then you can
listen to what happened and you tell me does this
(02:23):
meet the definition of a road rage incident?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
We've learned from sugar Land police that the road rage
incident was not random and the shooter was in a
relationship with that woman. He is accused of killing. Now
out here in Houston, there is no longer a crime
scene where those two men were shot and killed earlier
this afternoon. Investigators tell us that these shootings happen at
two different auto shops right across the street from each other.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Here.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Now, I did have a chance to look at surveillance video.
We are not sharing it out of respect for the family,
but you could see the shooter get out of his
car and chase one of the men before Sertley shooting
and killing him. Loved ones are left shaken by this tragedy.
Cruz towed away this white suv riddled with bullets inside.
(03:11):
A woman was found dead after sugar Land Police say
a man she was in a relationship with shot and
killed her around twelve thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Upon arrival, officers located a female victim in a vehicle
with several gunshot wounds to her body.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Two witnesses helped as officers tried to save her, but
she died at the hospital about an hour later. Investigators
say that same man opened fire on two different men
at auto shops in Houston near Fondren and Main Street.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
There was a report that a male and a gray
Ford escape, which matched the description of the vehicle in
the sugar Land shooting had been involved in an altercation
with a mechanic there. During that altercation, he shot the
mechanic as he was fleeing. Apparently somebody came out of
another warehouse here started filming that suspect. Leaving. The suspect
(03:59):
didn't fired several shots, killing that witness.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
The shooter was later found near Fondrinn and Creek Bin
Drive dead and signed his suv. Invest getter say he
had a self inflicted gunshot wound. Families of the two
men rush to the seat, hugging and shedding tears as
they hope for more answers.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Does this again, Does this sound like a road rage
incident to you? Let's let's go over the facts again.
So a woman gets shot on the freeway, So the
immediate assumption is it's road rage or this is what
we call when somebody gets shot on the freeway. We
call it road rage. Even the police sometimes are guilty
(04:38):
of doing that. Somebody gets shot on the freeway, it's
road rage. No, No, let's let's take a look at this.
The man who shot the woman was in a romantic
relationship with her. He shot the vet He didn't just
shoot once at somebody who might have I don't know,
been tailgating him, or that he was tailgating, or somebody
(05:03):
who flipped him off. He knew who this was and
for whatever reason, he decided he was going to murder her.
This is murder, pure and simple. The fact that it
happened on the freeway does not make it road rage.
It's murder. Road Rage is when you're upset because somebody's
tailgating you, or somebody's disrespecting you, flipped you off, or
(05:26):
done something else to make you angry, and at its
most extreme, you can get shot. That's not what this is.
They obviously knew each other, They had some sort of
a romantic relationship. Who knows what the relationship was at
the time of the shooting, but the two at some
point were a couple. Now, the fact that right after
(05:47):
he shoots her, he goes to a different location, specifically
looking for somebody he's going to shoot, tells me, this
is my comments sense working tells me that this was
a guy that she probably also had a relationship with.
Is this like a love triangle? Maybe it might be
(06:11):
a love triangle, or it probably is based on what
i'm hearing here. For whatever reason, this guy shot shot
the girlfriend, then shot this other man, the third guy.
He just happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time, doing the wrong thing. He comes out,
he's filming the guy trying to get away, so he's
(06:31):
going this guy can identify me. He's awaitness. Bang bang,
He's dead. And then the final stop is he kills himself.
This is what you call murder suicide.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I don't know if he planned to do a murder
suicide the entire time, or if it just piled up
for whatever reason. He decided to kill her, and then
he decided to kill this man probably involved with her,
and then he decided to kill himself because he's probably
saying to himself, I just I just shot three people.
I'm going to prison for the rest of my life.
(07:05):
I'm not going to do that. Bang, I'm dead. That
is not road rage. It's a lot of things. It's
a lot of what is wrong with our society right now.
This is probably a guy who comes from a culture
who believes that he had been disrespected and that the
appropriate punishment for somebody disrespecting you is to kill them. Now,
(07:31):
you and I don't think that way. We don't think
that's a logical conclusion to come to. But evidently this
guy did. Yeah, let's not please, let's not call this
road rage. That is not what we just saw. All right, quick,
a little break back with more in a moment, Jimmy
Baird Show here at AM nine fifty KPRC. All Right,
(08:09):
I don't think we're going to continue on this disrespected
theme today, at least for a few more minutes. We
just be opening segment. We did our little story about
the quote unquote road rage incident that wasn't here is
another one. This story is again this is a cultural thing. Now.
(08:29):
I'm not going to be one of those people says
only these people are those people do this. But I
think we all know who we're talking about when we
talk about cultural differences. When we have people who feel disrespected,
who who react in a very very very violent way
about being disrespected, there are plenty of people, especially in
(08:49):
the drug world and drug culture, who end up getting
shot and killed because they disrespected somebody, or somebody shot
them because they felt disrespected. This is of just a
strange story. It is a very strange story. It's out
of Dallas, Evidently a woman ended up getting shot to
death or not saying thank you. Another woman held the
(09:13):
door for her, she didn't say thank you. They got
into this big argument and one of the women gets
shot and she dies over not saying thank you. Here's
a report from Fox four in Dallas.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
I said, according to that arrest Warren Affid David, we
now know that it was the victim who got mad
at the suspect for not saying thank you after she
held the door open for the suspect at an area
of business. Well, that ended up spilling over into another
nearby business where the arguing continued. And then once they
were outside that is when that verbal altercation turned deadly.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
The shooter was telling them come outside, like let's hand
to let that outside, like you know, let's fight outside,
and the mom and the daughter were kind of just
like telling her to like go away.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
This twenty seven year old nurse, who asked that we
not use her name, had just walked out of this
pet Smart store located off West Wheatland Road in the
southeast Oak Cliff area of Dallas Tuesday afternoon when she
noticed two women, one with her twenty year old daughter,
arguing in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Moments later, she heard gunshots, but.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
The mom and daughter tried to like get in the
car and like deescalate the situation, but the lady wasn't
having it, so they ended up turning to fight, and
then that's when the lady pulled out her gun to
shot her.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Dallas police later identified the suspect as twenty two year
old Keona Hampton. She fled the scene in her car,
but was arrested hours later with the help of surveillance
video that captured her image, car and license plate. The
witness ran to help and put her training to work
performing CPR.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
The daughter was next to the mom the whole time.
She like, it's hard because you know, the screaming of
a child for her mother is never easy or and
is never going to leave my head.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
The victim, identified as Cecilia Simpson, died at the hospital.
All of this started on the other end of the
shopping center at five below, as both the suspect and
victim exited the store with something that might seem like
a simple gesture of courtesy. According to the arrest warn Affi,
David Simpson got upset at Hampton for not thanking her
(11:20):
for holding the door. It spiraled quickly from there. Hampton,
who reportedly waived her Miranda rights, confirmed that she engaged
in the verbal dispute, entering the pet smart twice and
continuing the arguments, throwing a drink bottle at Simpson's car
when she was about to leave, and engaging in a
physical altercation with her.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
How crazy is this? Maybe ever held the door open
for somebody and they didn't say thank you? What's your reaction?
On my worst day, I might say, you're welcome to
somebody who didn't say thank you to me on my
worst day. But most of the time I would just go, oh, well, okay,
(12:02):
I guess they didn't appreciate that. That's okay, Yeah, I was.
I was brought up with with Wilda's boot Camp. That
was my mom's name, Willda's boot Camp, which means you
do you say please and thank you and yes sir,
no ma'am, and you know you're applied to people. I
realized that there are some people that just never learned
any of that stuff. So, because I know there are
people who never learned of that stuff, if somebody fails
(12:25):
to do the proper etiquette with me, I you know,
I don't worry about it very much. I mean, so
what didn't say thank you? Big deal, no big deal whatsoever.
But think of how this escalated. First, First of all,
it's crazy that they had a fight over this, that
they actually got into verbal altercation. You didn't say thank you.
(12:49):
And this is the victim, of course, who ended up
starting this. I would like to think the victim had
no idea how this was going to end up. Why
did you say thank you? I'm a managing what happened here.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'll have to say thank you.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I didn't ask you to.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Hold that door.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And it goes from there, and then then they're gonna
go outside and fight. And then when the victim finally realizes, okay,
this is going to a very bad place. I'm getting
my car and leaving now, she ends up getting shot.
This is supposedly in a civilized society. Is this a
(13:25):
civilized thing to do in any way, shape or form.
Clearly it isn't. Oh, sad, sad, sad, sad sad. All right,
let's do this. I want to spend a couple of
minutes talking about this. This is another local store. I
got a lot of good local stories today. The city
of Houston, Texas has invested or is investing sixteen million
(13:49):
dollars into a brand new, low security homeless shelter. So
except it's more than a homeless shelter, I guess it
also includes psychiatric substance abuse clinic, all those types of things.
Former Houston City Councilman Greg Travis was on our morning
(14:12):
show today. You know, it's not like we got a
ton of money left over in the City of Houston budget,
So can we afford to do something like this? Is
this a good idea? Anytime you have someplace that attracts
a huge number of homeless people, it can be a
negative image for the city. Do you see that as
being a problem with this.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Well, Jamie, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Actually, I think this is going to be encouraging more
homelessness and I'll talk about that in a second. Was
in Portland. But the interesting part, as you asked at
the beginning with your teas, is this gonna be a
good investment? And the answer is gonna be no. I mean,
we're gonna be paying sixteen million dollars for a property
it looks like it's only worth around six million. And
the reason for that is, they're trying to get early
the homeless underneath the bridge near Dyking Park, and you're
(14:56):
only four blocks away from that area. How are we
paying sixteen million to try to move people four blocks away?
It just ignores human nature. It just ignores the fact
that these people don't want their rules. They don't want
it because it says it's gonna be a no barrier. Well,
that means they can come and go as they please. Well,
I guess what they're going to go when the baseball
(15:17):
games you're playing, They're going to go four blocks to
Dyke and Park. That's where the money is, That's where
the panhandling is. So I don't understand why they're doing
this unless it's somebody just wants to give it to
sixteen million and give it to somebody.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Well, you know, and even in a perfect world, if
something like this would actually work, right and gravi us
and I agree with you, I don't think it does.
It only is expected to include one hundred and fifty
to two hundred and twenty five beds. We have a
lot more homeless than that, don't we.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Oh, well we do.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Fortunately we don't have as many homeless as other cities
if you go to San Francisco, La, Portland and Seattle.
But that's awesome because we don't enable them, and I
don't want us to be enabling them up there. They
actually pay Importland, they actually pay their people one thousand
dollars a month stipend be homeless. So that's why people
we'll go up to Portland and become homeless. And if
you walk around there, our city's got some bad homeless issues,
(16:05):
but it's not as bad as other areas. And you
don't want to walk on that slippery slope where you
start encouraging it, because then you're going to get more
people congregating and they're going to be coming here from
other cities.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And they do that.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Okay, do you ever talk to the people on Portland streets.
They've come from other cities.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh yeah, they go to where they think they can
get the most benefits exactly. One of the things that
the superhod though supposedly would do, that maybe has some
good to it, is that evidently they were planning and
providing on site healthcare, psychiatric services, substance abuse treatment, and
it covers at least two out of the three big ones.
(16:40):
We know that most of the people who are homeless
are homeless because they want to be. Many of them
have mental health issues, many of them have substance abuse problems.
So you would like to see a successful treatment of that.
Maybe you can get them out of that cycle of
being homeless.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Well, and that would be a good thing. But we
can still do that now. We still do that now.
And it's not that that's not being done. It's just
this is gonna be done at this facility. But again,
you're not gonna what about people that are, you know,
a mile away or over in the Galleria area that
we've got some homeless over there. They're not gonna go
away down there for this homeless treatment. But I do
(17:17):
agree with that, and here's why, because when the public
out there thinks of homeless, they think of the mother
with two kids who just lost their house through divorce
or whatever. But most of these people are mentally ill.
And that's what we have to cost youre on is
the mental illness and what they do with their drug
of choice, whether it be heroin, meth or alcohol, is
they're trying to overcome the pain and they're trying to
(17:37):
that's that's their treatment of choice. So you got to
take care of that mental illness. But you know the
best way to do that is you know, President Trump
was talking about reistuting the mental institutions, and there's a
lot of pushback on that. But obviously you gotta be
crul toally kind sometimes because it's better that these people
be in a facility with a warm bed, hot shower,
(17:58):
and three meals a day getting psychatic treatment than be
on the streets.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, here's the bottom line too. Sixteen million dollars is
a big expenditure for a city that has financial issues.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
We're spending more than that on homeless. We're spending over
one hundred million. If you look at all the NGOs
are involved. Just pull up Houston homeless shelters. Almost everyone
that pulls up on your website is on the city
doll They get some money somewhere because we've afford those NGOs,
non government organizations to treat this facility, to treat this issue.
(18:31):
So there's a lot of money going out to the homeless.
I don't have a problem taking care of the problem,
but let's just do it where we get the most
benefit for the bucks.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well, I think you're saying that there's money, Well, spent.
There's money that's wasted. And if we're spending one hundred
million dollars and we still have a homeless problem, then
obviously the mouney's not being very well spent.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Exactly, it's not. And again it's also not done in
just one in one tratch. It's done to this group,
to that group, to this group, and under this guy's
under that guys. And so when you look at it, it
looks like ten million here, five million here, eight million there,
but when you add them all together, it's over one
hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay, so we're talking real bunny here, one hundred million dollars.
You think that homeless new homeless shelter is a good idea?
Like I said, four blocks away from from Dyking Park,
you know that's you know, that's not much of a
walk if you're homeless. All right, quick bill break, We
are back with more in a moment. Jimmy Barrett show
here an AM nine fifty KPRC. Well, it's just a
(19:46):
lot I got to kick out of a great Gutfeld segment,
so I thought I would share that with you here
because you know, we all need a little laugh every
now and again. And great Gutfeld is usually good for
a laugh. This is more of a snicker than it
is a laugh. But he's doing a bit here where
he's talking about how Democrat in particular Democrat men are
starting to reintroduce themselves to the gym. It's like they
(20:11):
have a light bulb that went on, albeit very very late,
where they realize that they're kind of coming across as wimpy,
feminize men, and therefore they are losing ground with real
men in America, men who understand that they're men and
want to behave like men. They are not afraid of
testosterone and are not afraid to act like men. So
(20:34):
here's Greg Guttfeld ripping on Democrat men going back to
the gym.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
But once again Trump is lifting up Americans, including his opponents.
Guys that look like David Hogg or a hog period
are going to the gym now just to beat Trump.
But this gym, it could be a doorway to the
logic of hard work. Maybe the Left won't resent people
that succeed if they see what has happens when they succeed.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
How soon before they discover.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Other healthy habits like proper hygiene and not eating your
body weight in bare claws, and it's helping female Democrats too,
who now realize that a guy who looks like Pete
hegxith and can carry the groceries is far more preferable
to their soy flavored emotional support animals whose idea of
pleasing a woman in the bedroom is to vacuum it.
(21:28):
Of course, you're gonna have to know exactly what a
woman is, or dudes will split because young men they
like young women too a lot, especially the ones without penises,
So change is afoot. Suddenly, the Dems are like, wait,
these Republican guys are strong and confident.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Maybe we overcorrected.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
A little toxicity is kind of hot, and maybe being
a helpless, perpetual winer isn't the path to happiness. We
call that growth, and the first step is admitting you
were wrong. The second step is admitting you were wrong again,
because I never get tired of hearing it. But also,
why not unblock all your conservative loved ones and admit
(22:09):
that they're not hitler, even those with an undescended testicle.
And even if the liberals' fitness is driven by politics,
who cares? They'll soon discover testosterone then, along with it
logic and reason and poof, they're wearing khakis and voting Republican.
Fact is, you can't bolgerplaus.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Do we meet later.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Fact is you can't be into fitness and into socialism,
gender ideology, or open borders.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
There is no redistribution at the gym.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
You can't take someone else's well earned muscles, and you
can't tell everyone that your scrawny biceps identify as twenty
in pythons, and you can't work out at a good
gym unless you're a member.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
But that's the hidden genius of Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He doesn't just to make America great again, makes his
enemies better too.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
By leaving the left in the dust.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
He's raised the bar which has forced them to start
lifting it.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Ah ah, there you go. That is that is kind
of be interested that you think that's true. I think
that I don't think you would see most liberals in
the gym lifting weights. I think you're more likely to
see them on the track running. I mean, I'm not
saying I'm not going to agree with this premise there
(23:28):
that that liberal men in particular, you know, shun physical fitness.
I don't think that's the case at all. I think
they just pick entirely different ways to try to get
physically fit because they just they don't they don't get
the whole muscle thing because they're well, they're not interested
in in the whole muscle thing. I think all right,
(23:49):
and one last story here before we call to day,
and that has to do with James Colemy, who found
himself being arraigned in court. And I'm not naive enough
to think that James call me just because he's being
charged with Lyne the Congress is actually going to be
found guilty and end up going to jail over this,
but he will have to deal with court cause and
(24:13):
the disruption to his life in all the things that
his FBI in the Department of Justice was guilty of
during the Biden administration of doing two Republicans. So yeah,
is it payback? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Is it justified payback? I think it is.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The liberal media, however, thinks that this is well, to
quote a term, it's a winch hunt. Here here's the
media on the left reacting to the James Commy arraignment,
and then Greg Guttfeld and Jesse Waters reacting to them.
Not since Watergate, Hannah, have we seen a president weaponize
the Justice Department to go after his political rivals.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
This is one of the most significant cases in America's
two hundred and forty nine year history. A president of
the United States directed that one of his opponents be
prosecuted because he didn't like that in individual.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
This is an effort by the president to use the
power of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
To muzzle somebody he doesn't like.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
The legal case is simply a way to get Jim
Comey to shut up.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
These guys are great jestsy isn't the whole point of this. Really,
it's not really the conviction. It's the process which many
innocent Republicans and I'll even throw Martha Stewart had to
go through because of that guy's ambition.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So maybe he should go through the process he put
everybody else through.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, and the process is expensive and it's depressing, and
I wouldn't mind seeing a conviction because you can't just
lie to Congress. All these Democrats in Congress are saying
people come in and lie to us all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We never charge them. What are you doing.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
You're saying you're okay with coming into Congress and being
lied to. You're conducting an investigation on January sixth. You're
okay if Republicans come in and lie, You're okay. If
Fauci comes in and lies about the Labliku, you're okay
with that. They were conducting an investigation on the Russia hoax,
and James Comey, the FBI director, line to Congress, who's
(26:05):
conducting oversight, who are trying to get to.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The bottom of how this happened, any lied about it.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
And if you're.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Okay with that, then Congress is a joke.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
That we don't have a.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Country, Then this is the whole thing.
Speaker 11 (26:15):
You go in, you put your hand up, and you
see I swear, and you just going and lie, Then
this is the stupidest government of all time.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Well, you know, we.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Do have a country still, thank god. But Congress is
a joke. I will agree. I will agree with that
Congress is a joke. But again, I think I'm not
naive enough to think that he will actually be found
guilty or that the government has a good enough case
against him to make the charges stick. But I am
at the very least hopeful that he will get a
certain level of payback in misery in his life that
(26:47):
will be com measured to some of the punishment and
misery that he has dished out himself. All right, Gotta
leave it at that. Y'all have a great day. Thank
you for listening. I do appreciate it. We'll see you
tomorrow morning. Right in early five a m. On News
Radio seven forty k t r H. We were back
here at four on a M nine fifty k p
r C.
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common
sense will see us through.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
With the common sense of Houston, I'm just pro common
sense for Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
From Houston.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
All right, Happy Thursday, Welcome to our show today. Can
I get something off my chest right from the get?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I need therapy for this. I'll start by saying this
is if somebody who's on the radio. I have people
who follow me and correct my grammar all the time,
my mother in law being top amongst the group. She
doesn't do it as much as she used to, but
she used to be all about the She's like a
(00:57):
She wasn't a former English teacher, but she might as
well have been. That's who I usually get contacted by
our former English teachers who have a problem with something
I've said because it wasn't proper grammar. I get that
if you have that knowledge base and you're always perfect
with your grammar and you hear somebody who is in
it can drive you crazy. Well, and I can relate
(01:17):
to that because it's the same way for me when
it comes to news reporters who act like lemmings and
report something as something it isn't. And the story that
is bugging the crap out of meat today is the story.
Did you hear about this shooting that happened yesterday here
in Houston? Some woman got shot on the freeway by
(01:40):
guy me just riddled her car with bullets. Then there
was a second shooting not all that far away that
occurred at a at a mechanics place of business. And
then two shootings, actually two mechanics got shot. And then
there was a third location where this guy shot himself
(02:03):
and it was described as a road rage incident. It began,
it's described as beginning as a road rage incident. Well,
I'm going to play the report for you. You'll hear
our television partner, a KPRC to report as a road
rage incident at least to start, and then you can
listen to what happened and you tell me does this
(02:23):
meet the definition of a road rage incident?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
We've learned from sugar Land police that the road rage
incident was not random and the shooter was in a
relationship with that woman. He is accused of killing. Now
out here in Houston, there is no longer a crime
scene where those two men were shot and killed earlier
this afternoon. Investigators tell us that these shootings happen at
two different auto shops right across the street from each other.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Here.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Now, I did have a chance to look at surveillance video.
We are not sharing it out of respect for the family,
but you could see the shooter get out of his
car and chase one of the men before Sertley shooting
and killing him. Loved ones are left shaken by this tragedy.
Cruz towed away this white suv riddled with bullets inside.
(03:11):
A woman was found dead after sugar Land Police say
a man she was in a relationship with shot and
killed her around twelve thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Upon arrival, officers located a female victim in a vehicle
with several gunshot wounds to her body.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Two witnesses helped as officers tried to save her, but
she died at the hospital about an hour later. Investigators
say that same man opened fire on two different men
at auto shops in Houston near Fondren and Main Street.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
There was a report that a male and a gray
Ford escape, which matched the description of the vehicle in
the sugar Land shooting had been involved in an altercation
with a mechanic there. During that altercation, he shot the
mechanic as he was fleeing. Apparently somebody came out of
another warehouse here started filming that suspect. Leaving. The suspect
(03:59):
didn't fired several shots, killing that witness.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
The shooter was later found near Fondrinn and Creek Bin
Drive dead and signed his suv. Invest getter say he
had a self inflicted gunshot wound. Families of the two
men rush to the seat, hugging and shedding tears as
they hope for more answers.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Does this again, Does this sound like a road rage
incident to you? Let's let's go over the facts again.
So a woman gets shot on the freeway, So the
immediate assumption is it's road rage or this is what
we call when somebody gets shot on the freeway. We
call it road rage. Even the police sometimes are guilty
(04:38):
of doing that. Somebody gets shot on the freeway, it's
road rage. No, No, let's let's take a look at this.
The man who shot the woman was in a romantic
relationship with her. He shot the vet He didn't just
shoot once at somebody who might have I don't know,
been tailgating him, or that he was tailgating, or somebody
(05:03):
who flipped him off. He knew who this was and
for whatever reason, he decided he was going to murder her.
This is murder, pure and simple. The fact that it
happened on the freeway does not make it road rage.
It's murder. Road Rage is when you're upset because somebody's
tailgating you, or somebody's disrespecting you, flipped you off, or
(05:26):
done something else to make you angry, and at its
most extreme, you can get shot. That's not what this is.
They obviously knew each other, They had some sort of
a romantic relationship. Who knows what the relationship was at
the time of the shooting, but the two at some
point were a couple. Now, the fact that right after
(05:47):
he shoots her, he goes to a different location, specifically
looking for somebody he's going to shoot, tells me, this
is my comments sense working tells me that this was
a guy that she probably also had a relationship with.
Is this like a love triangle? Maybe it might be
(06:11):
a love triangle, or it probably is based on what
i'm hearing here. For whatever reason, this guy shot shot
the girlfriend, then shot this other man, the third guy.
He just happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time, doing the wrong thing. He comes out,
he's filming the guy trying to get away, so he's
(06:31):
going this guy can identify me. He's awaitness. Bang bang,
He's dead. And then the final stop is he kills himself.
This is what you call murder suicide.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I don't know if he planned to do a murder
suicide the entire time, or if it just piled up
for whatever reason. He decided to kill her, and then
he decided to kill this man probably involved with her,
and then he decided to kill himself because he's probably
saying to himself, I just I just shot three people.
I'm going to prison for the rest of my life.
(07:05):
I'm not going to do that. Bang, I'm dead. That
is not road rage. It's a lot of things. It's
a lot of what is wrong with our society right now.
This is probably a guy who comes from a culture
who believes that he had been disrespected and that the
appropriate punishment for somebody disrespecting you is to kill them. Now,
(07:31):
you and I don't think that way. We don't think
that's a logical conclusion to come to. But evidently this
guy did. Yeah, let's not please, let's not call this
road rage. That is not what we just saw. All right, quick,
a little break back with more in a moment, Jimmy
Baird Show here at AM nine fifty KPRC. All Right,
(08:09):
I don't think we're going to continue on this disrespected
theme today, at least for a few more minutes. We
just be opening segment. We did our little story about
the quote unquote road rage incident that wasn't here is
another one. This story is again this is a cultural thing. Now.
(08:29):
I'm not going to be one of those people says
only these people are those people do this. But I
think we all know who we're talking about when we
talk about cultural differences. When we have people who feel disrespected,
who who react in a very very very violent way
about being disrespected, there are plenty of people, especially in
(08:49):
the drug world and drug culture, who end up getting
shot and killed because they disrespected somebody, or somebody shot
them because they felt disrespected. This is of just a
strange story. It is a very strange story. It's out
of Dallas, Evidently a woman ended up getting shot to
death or not saying thank you. Another woman held the
(09:13):
door for her, she didn't say thank you. They got
into this big argument and one of the women gets
shot and she dies over not saying thank you. Here's
a report from Fox four in Dallas.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
I said, according to that arrest Warren Affid David, we
now know that it was the victim who got mad
at the suspect for not saying thank you after she
held the door open for the suspect at an area
of business. Well, that ended up spilling over into another
nearby business where the arguing continued. And then once they
were outside that is when that verbal altercation turned deadly.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
The shooter was telling them come outside, like let's hand
to let that outside, like you know, let's fight outside,
and the mom and the daughter were kind of just
like telling her to like go away.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
This twenty seven year old nurse, who asked that we
not use her name, had just walked out of this
pet Smart store located off West Wheatland Road in the
southeast Oak Cliff area of Dallas Tuesday afternoon when she
noticed two women, one with her twenty year old daughter,
arguing in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Moments later, she heard gunshots, but.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
The mom and daughter tried to like get in the
car and like deescalate the situation, but the lady wasn't
having it, so they ended up turning to fight, and
then that's when the lady pulled out her gun to
shot her.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Dallas police later identified the suspect as twenty two year
old Keona Hampton. She fled the scene in her car,
but was arrested hours later with the help of surveillance
video that captured her image, car and license plate. The
witness ran to help and put her training to work
performing CPR.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
The daughter was next to the mom the whole time.
She like, it's hard because you know, the screaming of
a child for her mother is never easy or and
is never going to leave my head.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
The victim, identified as Cecilia Simpson, died at the hospital.
All of this started on the other end of the
shopping center at five below, as both the suspect and
victim exited the store with something that might seem like
a simple gesture of courtesy. According to the arrest warn Affi,
David Simpson got upset at Hampton for not thanking her
(11:20):
for holding the door. It spiraled quickly from there. Hampton,
who reportedly waived her Miranda rights, confirmed that she engaged
in the verbal dispute, entering the pet smart twice and
continuing the arguments, throwing a drink bottle at Simpson's car
when she was about to leave, and engaging in a
physical altercation with her.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
How crazy is this? Maybe ever held the door open
for somebody and they didn't say thank you? What's your reaction?
On my worst day, I might say, you're welcome to
somebody who didn't say thank you to me on my
worst day. But most of the time I would just go, oh, well, okay,
(12:02):
I guess they didn't appreciate that. That's okay, Yeah, I was.
I was brought up with with Wilda's boot Camp. That
was my mom's name, Willda's boot Camp, which means you
do you say please and thank you and yes sir,
no ma'am, and you know you're applied to people. I
realized that there are some people that just never learned
any of that stuff. So, because I know there are
people who never learned of that stuff, if somebody fails
(12:25):
to do the proper etiquette with me, I you know,
I don't worry about it very much. I mean, so
what didn't say thank you? Big deal, no big deal whatsoever.
But think of how this escalated. First, First of all,
it's crazy that they had a fight over this, that
they actually got into verbal altercation. You didn't say thank you.
(12:49):
And this is the victim, of course, who ended up
starting this. I would like to think the victim had
no idea how this was going to end up. Why
did you say thank you? I'm a managing what happened here.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'll have to say thank you.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I didn't ask you to.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Hold that door.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And it goes from there, and then then they're gonna
go outside and fight. And then when the victim finally realizes, okay,
this is going to a very bad place. I'm getting
my car and leaving now, she ends up getting shot.
This is supposedly in a civilized society. Is this a
(13:25):
civilized thing to do in any way, shape or form.
Clearly it isn't. Oh, sad, sad, sad, sad sad. All right,
let's do this. I want to spend a couple of
minutes talking about this. This is another local store. I
got a lot of good local stories today. The city
of Houston, Texas has invested or is investing sixteen million
(13:49):
dollars into a brand new, low security homeless shelter. So
except it's more than a homeless shelter, I guess it
also includes psychiatric substance abuse clinic, all those types of things.
Former Houston City Councilman Greg Travis was on our morning
(14:12):
show today. You know, it's not like we got a
ton of money left over in the City of Houston budget,
So can we afford to do something like this? Is
this a good idea? Anytime you have someplace that attracts
a huge number of homeless people, it can be a
negative image for the city. Do you see that as
being a problem with this.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Well, Jamie, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Actually, I think this is going to be encouraging more
homelessness and I'll talk about that in a second. Was
in Portland. But the interesting part, as you asked at
the beginning with your teas, is this gonna be a
good investment? And the answer is gonna be no. I mean,
we're gonna be paying sixteen million dollars for a property
it looks like it's only worth around six million. And
the reason for that is, they're trying to get early
the homeless underneath the bridge near Dyking Park, and you're
(14:56):
only four blocks away from that area. How are we
paying sixteen million to try to move people four blocks away?
It just ignores human nature. It just ignores the fact
that these people don't want their rules. They don't want
it because it says it's gonna be a no barrier. Well,
that means they can come and go as they please. Well,
I guess what they're going to go when the baseball
(15:17):
games you're playing, They're going to go four blocks to
Dyke and Park. That's where the money is, That's where
the panhandling is. So I don't understand why they're doing
this unless it's somebody just wants to give it to
sixteen million and give it to somebody.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Well, you know, and even in a perfect world, if
something like this would actually work, right and gravi us
and I agree with you, I don't think it does.
It only is expected to include one hundred and fifty
to two hundred and twenty five beds. We have a
lot more homeless than that, don't we.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Oh, well we do.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Fortunately we don't have as many homeless as other cities
if you go to San Francisco, La, Portland and Seattle.
But that's awesome because we don't enable them, and I
don't want us to be enabling them up there. They
actually pay Importland, they actually pay their people one thousand
dollars a month stipend be homeless. So that's why people
we'll go up to Portland and become homeless. And if
you walk around there, our city's got some bad homeless issues,
(16:05):
but it's not as bad as other areas. And you
don't want to walk on that slippery slope where you
start encouraging it, because then you're going to get more
people congregating and they're going to be coming here from
other cities.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And they do that.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Okay, do you ever talk to the people on Portland streets.
They've come from other cities.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh yeah, they go to where they think they can
get the most benefits exactly. One of the things that
the superhod though supposedly would do, that maybe has some
good to it, is that evidently they were planning and
providing on site healthcare, psychiatric services, substance abuse treatment, and
it covers at least two out of the three big ones.
(16:40):
We know that most of the people who are homeless
are homeless because they want to be. Many of them
have mental health issues, many of them have substance abuse problems.
So you would like to see a successful treatment of that.
Maybe you can get them out of that cycle of
being homeless.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Well, and that would be a good thing. But we
can still do that now. We still do that now.
And it's not that that's not being done. It's just
this is gonna be done at this facility. But again,
you're not gonna what about people that are, you know,
a mile away or over in the Galleria area that
we've got some homeless over there. They're not gonna go
away down there for this homeless treatment. But I do
(17:17):
agree with that, and here's why, because when the public
out there thinks of homeless, they think of the mother
with two kids who just lost their house through divorce
or whatever. But most of these people are mentally ill.
And that's what we have to cost youre on is
the mental illness and what they do with their drug
of choice, whether it be heroin, meth or alcohol, is
they're trying to overcome the pain and they're trying to
(17:37):
that's that's their treatment of choice. So you got to
take care of that mental illness. But you know the
best way to do that is you know, President Trump
was talking about reistuting the mental institutions, and there's a
lot of pushback on that. But obviously you gotta be
crul toally kind sometimes because it's better that these people
be in a facility with a warm bed, hot shower,
(17:58):
and three meals a day getting psychatic treatment than be
on the streets.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, here's the bottom line too. Sixteen million dollars is
a big expenditure for a city that has financial issues.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
We're spending more than that on homeless. We're spending over
one hundred million. If you look at all the NGOs
are involved. Just pull up Houston homeless shelters. Almost everyone
that pulls up on your website is on the city
doll They get some money somewhere because we've afford those NGOs,
non government organizations to treat this facility, to treat this issue.
(18:31):
So there's a lot of money going out to the homeless.
I don't have a problem taking care of the problem,
but let's just do it where we get the most
benefit for the bucks.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well, I think you're saying that there's money, Well, spent.
There's money that's wasted. And if we're spending one hundred
million dollars and we still have a homeless problem, then
obviously the mouney's not being very well spent.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Exactly, it's not. And again it's also not done in
just one in one tratch. It's done to this group,
to that group, to this group, and under this guy's
under that guys. And so when you look at it, it
looks like ten million here, five million here, eight million there,
but when you add them all together, it's over one
hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay, so we're talking real bunny here, one hundred million dollars.
You think that homeless new homeless shelter is a good idea?
Like I said, four blocks away from from Dyking Park,
you know that's you know, that's not much of a
walk if you're homeless. All right, quick bill break, We
are back with more in a moment. Jimmy Barrett show
here an AM nine fifty KPRC. Well, it's just a
(19:46):
lot I got to kick out of a great Gutfeld segment,
so I thought I would share that with you here
because you know, we all need a little laugh every
now and again. And great Gutfeld is usually good for
a laugh. This is more of a snicker than it
is a laugh. But he's doing a bit here where
he's talking about how Democrat in particular Democrat men are
starting to reintroduce themselves to the gym. It's like they
(20:11):
have a light bulb that went on, albeit very very late,
where they realize that they're kind of coming across as wimpy,
feminize men, and therefore they are losing ground with real
men in America, men who understand that they're men and
want to behave like men. They are not afraid of
testosterone and are not afraid to act like men. So
(20:34):
here's Greg Guttfeld ripping on Democrat men going back to
the gym.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
But once again Trump is lifting up Americans, including his opponents.
Guys that look like David Hogg or a hog period
are going to the gym now just to beat Trump.
But this gym, it could be a doorway to the
logic of hard work. Maybe the Left won't resent people
that succeed if they see what has happens when they succeed.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
How soon before they discover.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Other healthy habits like proper hygiene and not eating your
body weight in bare claws, and it's helping female Democrats too,
who now realize that a guy who looks like Pete
hegxith and can carry the groceries is far more preferable
to their soy flavored emotional support animals whose idea of
pleasing a woman in the bedroom is to vacuum it.
(21:28):
Of course, you're gonna have to know exactly what a
woman is, or dudes will split because young men they
like young women too a lot, especially the ones without penises,
So change is afoot. Suddenly, the Dems are like, wait,
these Republican guys are strong and confident.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Maybe we overcorrected.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
A little toxicity is kind of hot, and maybe being
a helpless, perpetual winer isn't the path to happiness. We
call that growth, and the first step is admitting you
were wrong. The second step is admitting you were wrong again,
because I never get tired of hearing it. But also,
why not unblock all your conservative loved ones and admit
(22:09):
that they're not hitler, even those with an undescended testicle.
And even if the liberals' fitness is driven by politics,
who cares? They'll soon discover testosterone then, along with it
logic and reason and poof, they're wearing khakis and voting Republican.
Fact is, you can't bolgerplaus.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Do we meet later.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Fact is you can't be into fitness and into socialism,
gender ideology, or open borders.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
There is no redistribution at the gym.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
You can't take someone else's well earned muscles, and you
can't tell everyone that your scrawny biceps identify as twenty
in pythons, and you can't work out at a good
gym unless you're a member.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
But that's the hidden genius of Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He doesn't just to make America great again, makes his
enemies better too.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
By leaving the left in the dust.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
He's raised the bar which has forced them to start
lifting it.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Ah ah, there you go. That is that is kind
of be interested that you think that's true. I think
that I don't think you would see most liberals in
the gym lifting weights. I think you're more likely to
see them on the track running. I mean, I'm not
saying I'm not going to agree with this premise there
(23:28):
that that liberal men in particular, you know, shun physical fitness.
I don't think that's the case at all. I think
they just pick entirely different ways to try to get
physically fit because they just they don't they don't get
the whole muscle thing because they're well, they're not interested
in in the whole muscle thing. I think all right,
(23:49):
and one last story here before we call to day,
and that has to do with James Colemy, who found
himself being arraigned in court. And I'm not naive enough
to think that James call me just because he's being
charged with Lyne the Congress is actually going to be
found guilty and end up going to jail over this,
but he will have to deal with court cause and
(24:13):
the disruption to his life in all the things that
his FBI in the Department of Justice was guilty of
during the Biden administration of doing two Republicans. So yeah,
is it payback? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Is it justified payback? I think it is.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The liberal media, however, thinks that this is well, to
quote a term, it's a winch hunt. Here here's the
media on the left reacting to the James Commy arraignment,
and then Greg Guttfeld and Jesse Waters reacting to them.
Not since Watergate, Hannah, have we seen a president weaponize
the Justice Department to go after his political rivals.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
This is one of the most significant cases in America's
two hundred and forty nine year history. A president of
the United States directed that one of his opponents be
prosecuted because he didn't like that in individual.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
This is an effort by the president to use the
power of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
To muzzle somebody he doesn't like.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
The legal case is simply a way to get Jim
Comey to shut up.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
These guys are great jestsy isn't the whole point of this. Really,
it's not really the conviction. It's the process which many
innocent Republicans and I'll even throw Martha Stewart had to
go through because of that guy's ambition.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So maybe he should go through the process he put
everybody else through.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, and the process is expensive and it's depressing, and
I wouldn't mind seeing a conviction because you can't just
lie to Congress. All these Democrats in Congress are saying
people come in and lie to us all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We never charge them. What are you doing.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
You're saying you're okay with coming into Congress and being
lied to. You're conducting an investigation on January sixth. You're
okay if Republicans come in and lie, You're okay. If
Fauci comes in and lies about the Labliku, you're okay
with that. They were conducting an investigation on the Russia hoax,
and James Comey, the FBI director, line to Congress, who's
(26:05):
conducting oversight, who are trying to get to.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The bottom of how this happened, any lied about it.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
And if you're.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Okay with that, then Congress is a joke.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
That we don't have a.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Country, Then this is the whole thing.
Speaker 11 (26:15):
You go in, you put your hand up, and you
see I swear, and you just going and lie, Then
this is the stupidest government of all time.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Well, you know, we.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
