Speaker 1 (00:01):
Say it again, Sharrue Okay Donkey Today for Monday, October seventh,
goes to an Idaho man named Hoyit Webb. Okay, Hoyt
Webb is thirty six years old and he's going to
spend the next thirty six months in jail because he
(00:22):
pled guilty the second degree assault. That's a little over
three years in jail after making a plea deal because
he live screamed himself shooting a homeless man in downtown's Polkane, Washington.
Three years in jail after making a plea deal because
he live screamed himself shooting a homeless man. Guess what
(00:42):
race is. Let's go to Fort News Now News for
the report. Please.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
This photo is from the live stream showing Web armed
with a gun strapped to his chest. Webb claims in
a police interview, when he arrived to the area, he
got out of his car and said he saw a
man with a machete. Instead of leaving the Web went
back to his car and grabbed his gun. His harmless
man Josh, is a friend of the victims. Shaw. On Friday,
(01:07):
police say two bullets discharge from Hoit Webb's gun, one
hitting Josh's friend armed with an almost empty cup of
iced coffee. That's disgusting. According to court documents, Webb confessed
to yelling at people and calling them names, which led
to an argument between Web and several individuals. Buy me.
Shortly after that conflict erupted around the block. Here's that
(01:30):
you specifically went to this particular location for your own entertainment.
Webb has a YouTube channel named Cootney County Press where
he goes into public places and confronts people initiating arguments,
and that's what he did on Friday. He claims to
have been documenting the spoken homeless crisis.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
For the record, all the homeless manhatt in his hand
was some ice coffee, by the way, but the demonization
of the poor will never stop. Hoyt you walking around
complaining about the homeless, Imagine how they feel you complaining
about the homeless and they have complaining about being homeless.
It's not the same. Also, this is what I don't
understand about people like Hoyt Web. If you see a problem,
why make that problem more of a problem. You don't
(02:09):
solve a problem by creating more problems. If you're not
trying to be a part of the solution, then get
out the way some folks act, like these people chose
to be homeless. You think these people want to be
in the circumstances they are in. No, so why go
out there with your camera live streaming folks shaming them
for a condition they don't want to be in, and
then you shoot one and all you get is three years.
(02:29):
Now Hoyt's brother, okay, his name is Keussler. He said
that he feels the three years wasn't enough time drop
on the clues bombs for him. Okay, duh, all right.
He told the local Fox in my Network TV affiliate
that I still don't believe what he got was fair.
That's a brother who's fed up. That's a brother who's
been watching his brother get away with foolishness their whole life,
(02:50):
and he wants his brother to finally have to deal
with the consequences of his actions. His brother told Hoyt,
you're evil. Okay, you went out seeking your fifteen minutes
of fame. Now you're getting your fifteen minutes of fame. Yes,
that is true. He's getting a little over three years,
and I agree that's not enough time. You almost kill
the man because you know you almost kill the man.
You call this man to lose a kidney, he lost
(03:11):
half his bows, he suffered damage to a coronary artery.
Why for no other reason than you hate the poor? Okay,
I don't understand demonizing people because they are in circumstances
that they can't control. There's just too many complex causes
of homelessness, all right. People can be mentally ill, they
can be addicted, they can be running from abusive relationships.
Some people can't find work. Hell, there's a lack of
(03:32):
affordable housing options in this country. So when you demonize
the homeless, you just oversimplify how this person ended up
being homeless to begin with, what happened to the golden rule?
Doing the others as you would have them doing to
you come up with some compassionive solutions to help. How
about just basic human dignity? Okay, understand that every person,
regardless of their living situation, deserves to be treated with
(03:53):
dignity and respect. Don't dehumanize them, and please hoyt understand
homelessness can happen. Okay. I don't know what your financial
situation is, but three years away from society not working,
that's a big setback. It's possible you might come home
to nothing. You might come home and not have a
place to say. Okay, jail, I'm sure was an unforeseen circumstance.
(04:15):
That's how a lot of homelessness happens as a result
of unforeseen circumstances. Okay, Like I said earlier, job lost,
you might have a medical emergency, family breakdown, and oh,
going to jail, all right, going to prison now, Hoyt,
Since you were in prison, the only position you need
to worry about being in is downward dog. Okay, But
once again, hoy this could be you. And when you
demonize the homeless the way you demonized the homeless, you
(04:38):
ignore the reality that you yourself are only a few
setbacks away from being in a similar position. Please give
Hoyt web the biggest he huh.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
