Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, we are back in another jam packed
show is headed your way today, and look at some
of the topics we will be covering. In North Carolina,
a pissed off dad went viral when he spoke to
lawmakers regarding the murder of his daughter. We have learned
more about the church shooting in Michigan that killed four
(00:22):
people and wounded another eight. In Florida, a man eats
his own peacocks to prove a point to his neighbor.
We're going to bring you that crazy story. In Texas,
a candle crisis at a bath and body works location
led to the arrest of an employee. In New York,
(00:43):
the sentencing of Sean Combes is on the horizon, actually
occurring today, and we're going to bring you our final
thoughts all this plus much more today. This is Crime
Wire Weekly, And I'm Jim.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Chapman, and I'm Kelly Jennings.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And you are the feral Kelly Jennings. I am, y'all
may wonder why I make a point of Kelly being
feral Kelly. I gave you a phone call yesterday? Did
I not? You did so, y'all, I just want to
tell you quickly that Kelly had posted something on her
(01:22):
I think it was her personal Facebook, if I'm not mistaken,
that was, and in that she mentioned that she was
still feral. So, Jim Chapman, I've always been of the
belief that Ferrell had a different meaning. So I called
Kelly because I'm like, man, she sure is coming out
there with it. And I said, Kelly, did you mean that?
(01:45):
You do you know what ferrell means? And she says, yeah,
I know what it means. And I said, it means
your horny.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I didn't know what to say to you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I was like, no, it doesn't, and that's exactly what
she said. And I'm like, yes, it does when you're feral.
And look, I'm completely serious about this, y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
He was.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And so of course, like me and Kelly always do
when we have a disagreement, we google it. And so
I'm like, I'm gonna prove her wrong, and I googled it,
and of course Kelly was right. What did it mean? Again?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The actual means when you're wild. If you're feral, you're
not domesticated, you're wild, and you're you're running free. Yeah,
so feral animal, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And in my mind, I thought when people said and
it's so funny because people say that pretty often, and
I'm like, damn, everybody talks about how horny they are
on the facebood. Yeah, a bunch of people been saying
they faral lately. I'm like, shit, what are y'all on
progester drone or whatever? I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Damn anyway, handle you sometimes. So y'all, I am feral
as in wild toward me. But thanks for checking.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
On the gym.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I just want to make sure because I'm like she
telling the world girls anyway. So that was, uh, that
was an exciting part of my day yesterday was to
find out what you exactly meant when you wrote that word.
I'm glad. Yeah, so I'm glad I know the true
definition now, so feel free to let me know when
(03:12):
you're far from now on people, I won't get the
wrong idea. But we'll jump into our articles for today.
How about that. Kelly's all right, and we're gonna start
off in North Carolina, and I'm gonna start off this
episode without reading you an article of any sort. I'm
just gonna tell you the story because I know this
one pretty good and it's really what happens when you
(03:34):
mess with the wrong dad. I'm gonna take you to
South Carolina rather uh uh, North Carolina for this story,
and I'm gonna tell you the details of what happened.
I'm gonna play you a clip of the dad in
this story who spoke to the delegation of legislators in
North Carolina, and you're gonna get a good grasp here
(03:57):
in this clip of not only his pain as he
articulates what happened to his daughter, but you're also going
to get an idea of what happens when the justice
system fails those they intend to protect. So before we
get into the story, listen to this club Carolina.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
How many of y'all have kids. I'm just curious. Here's
what I need you to do when I tell you
this story. Think about your kids. Think about your child
coming home from the night out with their friends, laying down,
going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and
wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced
(04:42):
on her knees with her hands over her head. Beg
you for her life, Beg you for her hero, her father,
me that couldn't be there. She was five foot three,
She waited a one hundred and fifteen pounds, Bang.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Dead gone.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine
goddamn times twenty five felonies, was on the street. How
about that? How good are we doing for our family?
(05:30):
How good are you doing for your kids? He should
have been in jail for over one hundred and forty
years for all the crimes he committed. You know how
much time he's spent in prison, a little over six
hundred days in ten years.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He's only thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
He was committing two point sixty five crimes a year
since he was fifteen years old. But nobody could figure
out that he couldn't be rehabilitated. Well, you'd have to
put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated.
Isn't that the idea of prison? But no, my daughter
(06:11):
wanted to be a teacher. She finally figured it out
two weeks before she was executed. And I haven't heard
a damn word from Byron Gibson in South Carolina, not
one word, four months, no communication. His biggest concern was
(06:31):
that he was pissed off about my interview and how
I made him look on the Fox News channel with
Trey Gowdi. How pathetic is that that we're letting our
twenty two year old kid visiting friends. It's all she
ever wanted to do was visit friends, and she literally
was executed while on her knees, begging for her life.
(06:57):
Her name's Logan, Federico not and you will not forget her.
I promise you will be sick and tired of my
face and my voice until this gets fixed. I will
fight until my last breath for my daughter. You need
(07:22):
to fight for the rest of our children, the rest
of the innocence, and stop protecting the people that keep
taking them from us. Please, you have the power. We
put you in the power to do what you have
to do. We're asking you, we're begging you all to
(07:42):
stop this. Thirty nine crimes in ten years, twenty five felonies.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Can anybody here explain to me.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, how possibly he could be on the street, possibly
be on the street. How is it possible? I could
sit down a room and I can explain the whole process.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I have it failed?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How South Carolina failed?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Logan?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, how lack of communication? What y'all did? You woke
up a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy,
because I'm gonna put it out there and I'm not
going to be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to
be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard,
and we will trust me. My daughter laid on the
(08:32):
floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized
that something was wrong, and that curer criminal an hour later,
went on a spending spree with her debit card.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
When they saw his face on a video, they didn't
have to do a check.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
He was arrested so many times.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
They knew who he was, They knew exactly where to
go get him. Pathetic, absolute pathetic that I'm here today,
thank you for your time.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So here's a quick overview of what happened in this case.
This man's daughter, twenty two year old Logan Federico, was
shot and killed by a repeat defender. And when I
say a repeat defender, as you just heard over twenty
five felonies in nearly forty arrest. This incident occurred on
(09:29):
May third of twenty twenty five. Now, Logan was visiting
friends when this jackass by the name of Andrew Dicky
breaks into her friend's home and kills her now, after
he kills her, he steals firearms, he steals credit cards,
he stole some other items. He flees the scene in
(09:50):
a stolen vehicle, and then he goes on a damn
shopping spree. The vehicle eventually breaks down in another county
and Dickie takes off into the woods. He ends up
stealing yet another car and sets a house on fire
before he is eventually caught. Now, as you heard in
(10:13):
the clip I just played, he messed with the wrong dad,
and this guy has made it his life, his life
mission to keep this from happening to another family. So
the benefit for you and I in this case is
that my co host actually carries a master's degree in
(10:35):
criminal justice. So kJ one, how the hell does this happen?
How the hell does the criminal justice system release this
guy over twenty five times when he has felonies? How
does he overcome some forty arrests to get back on
the streets and destroy a family? How does any of
(10:56):
this make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So I haven't got a copy of hisn'time record, and
I haven't reviewed it or anything like that, So I'm
just going off of basic things that tend to happen here.
But probably pleading down. Probably a lot of the things
that he's done have been plugged down in the beginning
of his criminal career, and he's picked up on that.
(11:18):
They learned. These people learn, criminals like this learn they
know the drill. They know when they go before they
know it's going to get knocked down. They know the
things that they should say and do, and so pled down.
I don't know if he also had a juvenile record
or not, and so I don't know if these thirty
nine include a juvenile record, which then again would have
not been do you know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I actually his dad said in that clip that since
the age of fifteen, this particular individual was averaging over
to a rest a year.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So that's my point. So if he was a juvenile,
then those wouldn't have rolled over into his adult record,
so you would have knocked those off, so it wouldn't
have even really been accounted for, you know what I'm saying.
So then he becomes an adult and they give him
chance after chance, they do a plea down, and what
tends to happen here, and I'm not blaming prosecutors, but
I'm just going to give you the reality here, is
that a conviction is a conviction no matter how you
(12:10):
get it in terms of how effective a prosecutor is.
And so if this guy steps forward and says, look,
i'll plead guilty. If we can plea down to a
lesser charge, well, then the prosecutor would be almost a
fool to not take it. It's a win. It's an
easy win. And there's so many people in the criminal
justice system every single day they're just you know, we're
rolling through it. And so he gets arrested and then
(12:32):
he gets released, He gets arrested, and he gets released.
And we also don't know specifics on where every arrest
took place. So if this is different states that he
did crimes freeze in the courts may not speak to
one another, you know what I'm saying. So there's a
million things that can happen, and in twenty twenty five,
I think the average person thinks that it's more of
a well oiled machine than it really is, right, And
(12:55):
that's what happens, and the criminals benefit every single time.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, and I think he nailed when you said that
you learn as a criminal, Okay, I can do this.
It's going to get pled down to this and I'm
not going to get much, if any, jail time. It's
similar to raising kids. If you say, how many of
us that have kids out there have told our children, Hey,
(13:19):
if you do that again, I'm going to take your
phone away. And you take it away for an hour
and it was supposed to be a day and you
end up giving it back or whatever. Same situation here.
Those kids, they eventually figure out that mom or dad
is not going to do what they really say they're
going to do. They're not going to grind me for
a week, they end up grinding me for a day.
That sort of thing. The problem is you're playing with
(13:42):
lives here, and in this case, this guy got released
so many times that you know, it doesn't take no
Stradamis to figure out that eventually he's probably going to
kill somebody, and he did. And I don't blame the
uh well, I do kind of blame the justice system.
I think there's got to be some way to stave
(14:06):
off all these plea bargains. These plea bargains have taken
over the justice system in such a way that it
seems like there are tons of people running around on
the streets that shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, in this one, I mean, these are violent offenses,
you know, and felonies. It's not like these are misdemeanors
of you know, adult Yeah, it's not. Well, they may
have been, we don't know, but all of them aren't.
And clearly he had to have gone before a judge
at some point in this criminal record, have been a nuisance,
and that judge look at this and go all right, buddy,
(14:41):
we're tired of dealing with you. We are tired of
dealing with you. I mean, that's the point of three
strikes and you're out in Louisiana, you know. But they
have to meet a certain muster. And so for example,
in Louisiana, you know, it's not just three any three
drug offenses and you go to prison for the rest
of your life. Now, I mean, these have to be
a violence of certain amounts, has got to be drugs
(15:01):
that are punishable by certain amounts of time. And so
he probably and again this is a guestimation here, but
he's probably falling right underneath that that you know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That line.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, And so he continues to get to ride the waves, and.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
He probably knows where that line is, and so you know,
he's cognizant of those three strike laws.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And people of that come from the gutter. And if
you don't know what I'm talking about, educate yourself on this.
But people who come from like nothing, for example, they
grew up in households where it's a single mom, maybe
low income. They don't have much, they've never had much,
and then they become adults and then you take them
and you put him in jail where they get fed
regularly and they have a bed, and they're getting medical care,
(15:46):
and they're getting their friends are there, literally, their friends
are there. Jail is not Jail is more of a
punishment to someone who doesn't break the law than someone
who consistently breaks the law.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think he just nailed. Yeah, someone that appreciates their
freedom doesn't like being in jail. Someone that never has
really had freedom. I mean, they're on the streets hanging
out with their boys, and now their boys are in jail.
Where do you think they want to be?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Well? And when life is a and I'm not giving
this guy an ounce of victim here, but when life
is not sunshine and rainbows from the jonp then it's
like comparing jail is just like regular life. You just
can't walk free. I mean that. I think that's part
of the issue there, and we just catch and release
(16:36):
doesn't do anything right, you know, I want I would
guess just what I've heard from this dad. I'd guess
he's unemployed. I guess that he's got no education. I
would guess that he doesn't have a car, you know,
I would guess all of these things, and no wonder. Yeah,
he's running around stealing from other people so he can
make money.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That's right. And I'll tell you he absolutely did mess
with the wrong dad because this guy letting up, he
has a fire in his heart and in his ass
right now that he is going to push until there's change.
And I love that part of it. Well, he's taken
(17:15):
the most horrible thing in his life and he's doing
something good with it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, And I like the part too where he says,
I don't know if this this part is in that
actual clip you just played, but that he couldn't protect
his own daughter, but he can look out for other
people and that's his job.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Is that this is ridiculous? Thirty nine arrests thirty nine
Are you kidding me? Because in schools where it's the
offenses aren't even that serious. I mean, you get enough,
they kick you out of the school. Right, these are
serious offenses. And think of all the victims here now too.
Also think of how many people have had their shit stolen,
how many people have been offended in whatever manner of
(17:57):
all of these crimes, and now we have a young
girl dead. People should be ashamed, We should be as
when we say the system. By the way, you can't
blame the system. The system is not a thing. It's
a multiple part complex, you know, intertwined grouping of things
that have to take place. But we should as a
society should be ashamed that this was allowed to happen.
(18:19):
When someone has been arrested thirty nine times, when someone
tells you who they are, or they show you who
they are, we need to believe them. That's right, he's
a criminal, that's right.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Well, let's move on to Michigan. Now, this one's horrid,
but two days after a devastating attack on a church
of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, it shattered this
small Michigan community. The investigators are coming through the wreckage
of the burned out chapel, trying to find clues that
may help them make sense of what the FBI says
may have been a quote targeted act of violence. The
(18:52):
attacker and Iraq war veteran who made disparaging comments about
the LDS faith in the weeks before unleashing bullets and
fire on all of the constituents, drove his car into
the chapel where he opened fire and set ablaze the building,
where improvised explosive devices later were found. Now he was
killed in a police shootout. Four people were killed and
(19:14):
eight were wounded by gunfire, according to the Grand Blanc
Township police chief, and he said that all that were
injured or wounded are expected to recover. Three others suffered
smoke inhalation. It could have been much worse had it
not been for the heroic response, authority said. And here
is what we know. Congregants had gathered at the Grand
Blanc church for the ten am service, and it was
(19:36):
a monthly fast Sunday when LEDs members around the world
are encouraged to forego two meals and donate the food
or the money that they would have spent on food
to the poor. Worshippers. By late morning had finished the sacrament,
which was the first half of the two hour service,
after which some congregants leave. That's whenever we heard a
big bang and the doors flew open. According to a
(19:57):
church goer named Paula, the attack had rammed his four
door pickup truck into the front of the chapel, and
then he fired several rounds from an assault weapon at
worshippers before somehow setting the building on fire and sending
huge plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. The
congregants shielded children and they helped them move to safety.
Medical residents that were attending the service jumped straight into action,
(20:21):
acting as the first responders to help the wounded, and
nearby there were some nurses that were on strike or
were striking, and they left their picket line and ran
to the church to try and help. Police were on
the scene in less than a minute after the first
nine one one call, and Sandford was killed in the
parking lot eight minutes after police arrived. The man police
(20:43):
say committed the attack. His name was Thomas Sandford, who
was forty years old, had served in the Marines and
he worked as a mechanic in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He
was an avid hunter who grew up in Flint and
he was known in the small Michigan town of Burton
for his distinctive pickup truck, which he often drove with
two American flags flying from the bed behind him. It
(21:04):
seems to be the same truck he used to ram
the church. Sandford was married. He had a young son
that was born with a rare genetic disorder, and social
media accounts that were linked to his family were the
ones that gave that information. The family did launch a
go Fundme campaign to fundraise for treatment for the child's
congenital hyperinsulinism, which required a lengthy hospital stay and surgeries
(21:27):
that had to remove portions of his pancreas. And so
it had been they were documenting this long and very
difficult journey of his son now. Sandford was a quote fun,
loving family guy according to a longtime friend of his name,
Kara Pattison, but he also harbored unkind feelings towards certain
groups and he definitely talked about groups of people in
(21:48):
ways that were not acceptable. That also was, according to Pattison,
that included openly declaring his hatred for the LDS Church.
Sandford had a relationship with a woman in the LDS
Church while he lived briefly in Utah and Sanford heavily
abused drugs at that time. There appears to be no
motive outside of pure hatred. And I will add to
(22:10):
this that I saw this morning, right before we were
recording this. Do you know that those church people got
together the victims of this very man's crimes against them
and raised I think over two hundred thousand dollars to
give to his son for his medical expenses. Wow, that's
beyond anything I expected.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I would say the same. And you know, this case,
I've seen a lot out there people not excuse Obviously,
there's no excuse for what he did, but there are
people that are out there and they're hypothesizing that he
had some stuff from the war going on in his head.
And of course, look, I don't give a shit. None
(22:54):
of that excuses us at all. I mean, it's certainly
people out there that are war get their heads screwed up,
but none of you know, there are very few go
out there and just shoot up churches. In this case,
it also seems like he had a lot of hate,
a lot of hate for this particular religion. And I
don't know a whole lot about this religion, but he
(23:19):
had hate in his heart, and that's what this seems like.
A hate crime.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Absolutely, I would I would absolutely say this was a
hate crime. One. How can you just hate people you've
never met? I just don't. I can't relate to that.
I don't hate people I've never met. You know, I
talked about this too. Get your thoughts. I talked about
this with my husband recently that you know, there's people
around the world who hate Americans, like just hate us,
(23:44):
and I don't hate them like I don't hate other people.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Hate is such a strong, heavy thing to have for someone.
And if I don't have a personal relationship with you,
I have a hard time hating you. How do you
get there? And so to me, I almost feel like
maybe he had self indoctrinated into some weird fanaticism and
it sounds like he had.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
A relationship with some people that were in that religion. Yeah,
and it didn't go well, And maybe that awesome manipulated
of his head. But what a what a piece of
shit to kill a bunch of innocent people just because
you disagree with whatever it is, and.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
To leave your own child, yeah, Like, and I'm not
discounting those other victims but you're willing to go leave
your own child because you hate someone else strangers that much.
That's that's wild, that's not normal. And I don't I
hate whenever veterans get brought into these types of things.
Oh will he served in the war, Well, no doubt
(24:47):
that can cause problems in people. But you don't get
to turn around and hurt other people as a result
of that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's right, And veterans will be the first one to
tell you absolutely that you're a piece of shit for
doing that, you know. So we'll move on to the
friendly skies and I'm gonna tell you a pretty wild
story that you don't come around often, and it involves
American Airlines, which has been slaped with an eleven million
(25:12):
dollar bill after a jury rule the carrier failed to
adequately treat a man even though he showed signs of
a stroke before takeoff of his transatlantic flight. This verdict
came after a six day trial in September, where jurors
sided with the passenger and his wife, California resident Jesus Placina,
(25:35):
then sixty seven, displayed worrying symptoms while the plane was
still parked at the gate. Plincina briefly lost motor control
and the ability to speak. His wife noticed he was
in distress. She immediately flagged down crew members and she
urged those flight attendants and the captain to get medical help.
(25:57):
But instead of following company rules, Silet allegedly laughed off
the incident. The suit claimed the captain joked with the wife,
brushed aside the concerns, and then cleared the plane for departure.
Protocols state the airlines should have called in medical experts
before the plane left the ground, and lawyers argued that
(26:20):
the rules have been that had the rules been followed,
doctors would have quickly spotted the emergency. Instead, the flight
took off with Plancina on board, and disaster soon struck.
Hours into the nearly eight hour TRUP, he suffered a
major stroke over the Atlantic Ocean. Not a whole lot
you can do then, right. Medical professionals on the plane
(26:42):
stepped in, but they said that the jet didn't have
the equipment that you would need, such as a blood
pressure cuff, and that surprised me. The crew had little
to no choice but to continue the journey to Spain.
When the plane landed in Madrid, Plancina was rushed to
a high biddle. He remained in critical condition for more
than three weeks before being flown back to the US. So, wow,
(27:08):
you know, eleven million dollars, but shocking that before the
plane even took off. I couldn't even believe what I
was reading when I came across this article, because normally,
if you would bring that to the attention of a
flight attendant and say I think my husband's having a stroke,
they would say get the hell off.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The plane right like immediately.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And this is a lawsuit that has been covered and
it's a done deal, and he's getting eleven million dollars,
which I'm not saying any amount of money is worth that,
but it's you know, it's one of those things where
you say, it's got to be true. The captain actually
laughed this off when they told him. It's bizarre to me.
(27:50):
I would think you were you were lying to me
if you told me that story ahead of time, before
it's been settled.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, Oh, I don't know. I wonder if maybe they
were worried but then kind of minimize the symptoms, because
then he was like, well, I don't know, I'm kind
of feeling better, and maybe they kind of chuckled about it,
and he was like you okay, And he's like, yeah,
I think I'm okay. You know what I'm saying. Maybe
it was that kind of interaction.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well not according to the lawsity, I mean, according to
the lawsuit, the captain said, we're taking off anywhay they
took off.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They take drunk people off for less than that. Yeah,
I don't Yeah, I don't get that, and that this was.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Bad judgment at its bestment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Really, And then you're wondering, I wonder if this was
all about, like if they were on schedule or not. Yeah,
sit down, sir, buckle up. We have places to go,
but then not to have a blood pressure cup or
any type of thing. You know, you're about to be
gone over a waterway. That's kind of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're not flying from Atlanta the Louisiana. I mean, you're
not taking a forty five minute fly.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Like, what do they have?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
What do we have?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Any airline people that listen to this, I'd be curious
to know what do you have on the plane or should.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You have typically would have something.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Like that something, I mean, I wonder, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I believe they even have. Uh, the shocking the paddles.
Get the shocking paddles that shocked your heart in case
you have a heart attack on the plane.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, they probably got an aed Yeah is what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I got you. Yeah, I would think so clear. Yes, yeah,
I was thinking it was like charged in the wall,
like you have them hung up like a phone in
the wall of the plane. Everybody please put your please
put your phones in airplane mode. We need to shock
a passenger. Yeah, not even lie of it, but yeah,
that's that's wild. And I hope that do better, you know,
because that could have killed him. Yeah, definitely could have
(29:36):
killed him. Now we're gonna move on to another crisis.
I wouldn't say it's quite as serious, but some women
might think it is because a twenty six year old
bath and body works associate in Houston was arrested Thursday
after what police described as a candle crisis, which sparked
was sparked by a heated sail dispute. According to shoppers,
(29:57):
Rachel Morgan was stocking shelves during the stores three three
wick candle promotion when a customer tried to apply an
expired coupon. Morgan allegedly slammed the registered shut and shouted,
these deals are hot enough already, golly. Witnesses say she
then lit one of the display candles, held it aloft
(30:20):
like a torch, and declared no discounts shall pass while
blocking the exit. The scent, ironically named comb Breeze filled
the store as chaos broke out. Police say Morgan refused
to leave until every customer recited the words limit ten
per customer, get out. Some onlookers praised her as a
(30:41):
defender of seasonal savings, while others said she had turned
smellgood into jail time.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Listen, these three wicks are serious in my house. I
do appreciate a good three Wi candle.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, and how dare her try to use that koopa
a fixed by coopon?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
The sales were good enough people.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, it's a hot enough deal, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Trying to get more sounds like.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
An employee that may have been working too many hours.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That sounds to me like a man. She plays dungeons
and dragons and loves renfest. I guarantee no discount shall pass.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I love it. And that was Houston, Texas, that was Houston, Texas.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Wow, I would want to go to that store just
just to see the scene of the crime.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
People be serious at bath and body work.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Hey, Christmas time, you better get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, and it's getting close. She was probably getting her
mind mentally prepared.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
And maybe it was all the toxicst sight. They say
the candles have permanent toxins. When you burn them in
your house, you can never get rid of them. Maybe
she was affected.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
There may be something to that so allegedly. Yeah, all right,
Well we'll move on to some pretty big news as
this case is finally coming to a close. Shan Combed
Day of reckoning is almost here and things saying looking
good for the bad boy Mogul.
Speaker 2 (32:07):

Thanks for listening.
All right, folks, we are back in another jam packed
show is headed your way today, and look at some
of the topics we will be covering. In North Carolina,
a pissed off dad went viral when he spoke to
lawmakers regarding the murder of his daughter. We have learned
more about the church shooting in Michigan that killed four
(00:22):
people and wounded another eight. In Florida, a man eats
his own peacocks to prove a point to his neighbor.
We're going to bring you that crazy story. In Texas,
a candle crisis at a bath and body works location
led to the arrest of an employee. In New York,
(00:43):
the sentencing of Sean Combes is on the horizon, actually
occurring today, and we're going to bring you our final
thoughts all this plus much more today. This is Crime
Wire Weekly, And I'm Jim.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Chapman, and I'm Kelly Jennings.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And you are the feral Kelly Jennings. I am, y'all
may wonder why I make a point of Kelly being
feral Kelly. I gave you a phone call yesterday? Did
I not? You did so, y'all, I just want to
tell you quickly that Kelly had posted something on her
(01:22):
I think it was her personal Facebook, if I'm not mistaken,
that was, and in that she mentioned that she was
still feral. So, Jim Chapman, I've always been of the
belief that Ferrell had a different meaning. So I called
Kelly because I'm like, man, she sure is coming out
there with it. And I said, Kelly, did you mean that?
(01:45):
You do you know what ferrell means? And she says, yeah,
I know what it means. And I said, it means
your horny.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I didn't know what to say to you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I was like, no, it doesn't, and that's exactly what
she said. And I'm like, yes, it does when you're feral.
And look, I'm completely serious about this, y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
He was.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And so of course, like me and Kelly always do
when we have a disagreement, we google it. And so
I'm like, I'm gonna prove her wrong, and I googled it,
and of course Kelly was right. What did it mean? Again?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The actual means when you're wild. If you're feral, you're
not domesticated, you're wild, and you're you're running free. Yeah,
so feral animal, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And in my mind, I thought when people said and
it's so funny because people say that pretty often, and
I'm like, damn, everybody talks about how horny they are
on the facebood. Yeah, a bunch of people been saying
they faral lately. I'm like, shit, what are y'all on
progester drone or whatever? I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Damn anyway, handle you sometimes. So y'all, I am feral
as in wild toward me. But thanks for checking.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
On the gym.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I just want to make sure because I'm like she
telling the world girls anyway. So that was, uh, that
was an exciting part of my day yesterday was to
find out what you exactly meant when you wrote that word.
I'm glad. Yeah, so I'm glad I know the true
definition now, so feel free to let me know when
(03:12):
you're far from now on people, I won't get the
wrong idea. But we'll jump into our articles for today.
How about that. Kelly's all right, and we're gonna start
off in North Carolina, and I'm gonna start off this
episode without reading you an article of any sort. I'm
just gonna tell you the story because I know this
one pretty good and it's really what happens when you
(03:34):
mess with the wrong dad. I'm gonna take you to
South Carolina rather uh uh, North Carolina for this story,
and I'm gonna tell you the details of what happened.
I'm gonna play you a clip of the dad in
this story who spoke to the delegation of legislators in
North Carolina, and you're gonna get a good grasp here
(03:57):
in this clip of not only his pain as he
articulates what happened to his daughter, but you're also going
to get an idea of what happens when the justice
system fails those they intend to protect. So before we
get into the story, listen to this club Carolina.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
How many of y'all have kids. I'm just curious. Here's
what I need you to do when I tell you
this story. Think about your kids. Think about your child
coming home from the night out with their friends, laying down,
going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and
wake them and drag her out of bed, naked, forced
(04:42):
on her knees with her hands over her head. Beg
you for her life, Beg you for her hero, her father,
me that couldn't be there. She was five foot three,
She waited a one hundred and fifteen pounds, Bang.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Dead gone.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine
goddamn times twenty five felonies, was on the street. How
about that? How good are we doing for our family?
(05:30):
How good are you doing for your kids? He should
have been in jail for over one hundred and forty
years for all the crimes he committed. You know how
much time he's spent in prison, a little over six
hundred days in ten years.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He's only thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
He was committing two point sixty five crimes a year
since he was fifteen years old. But nobody could figure
out that he couldn't be rehabilitated. Well, you'd have to
put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated.
Isn't that the idea of prison? But no, my daughter
(06:11):
wanted to be a teacher. She finally figured it out
two weeks before she was executed. And I haven't heard
a damn word from Byron Gibson in South Carolina, not
one word, four months, no communication. His biggest concern was
(06:31):
that he was pissed off about my interview and how
I made him look on the Fox News channel with
Trey Gowdi. How pathetic is that that we're letting our
twenty two year old kid visiting friends. It's all she
ever wanted to do was visit friends, and she literally
was executed while on her knees, begging for her life.
(06:57):
Her name's Logan, Federico not and you will not forget her.
I promise you will be sick and tired of my
face and my voice until this gets fixed. I will
fight until my last breath for my daughter. You need
(07:22):
to fight for the rest of our children, the rest
of the innocence, and stop protecting the people that keep
taking them from us. Please, you have the power. We
put you in the power to do what you have
to do. We're asking you, we're begging you all to
(07:42):
stop this. Thirty nine crimes in ten years, twenty five felonies.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Can anybody here explain to me.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, how possibly he could be on the street, possibly
be on the street. How is it possible? I could
sit down a room and I can explain the whole process.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I have it failed?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How South Carolina failed?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Logan?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, how lack of communication? What y'all did? You woke
up a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy,
because I'm gonna put it out there and I'm not
going to be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to
be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard,
and we will trust me. My daughter laid on the
(08:32):
floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized
that something was wrong, and that curer criminal an hour later,
went on a spending spree with her debit card.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
When they saw his face on a video, they didn't
have to do a check.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
He was arrested so many times.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
They knew who he was, They knew exactly where to
go get him. Pathetic, absolute pathetic that I'm here today,
thank you for your time.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So here's a quick overview of what happened in this case.
This man's daughter, twenty two year old Logan Federico, was
shot and killed by a repeat defender. And when I
say a repeat defender, as you just heard over twenty
five felonies in nearly forty arrest. This incident occurred on
(09:29):
May third of twenty twenty five. Now, Logan was visiting
friends when this jackass by the name of Andrew Dicky
breaks into her friend's home and kills her now, after
he kills her, he steals firearms, he steals credit cards,
he stole some other items. He flees the scene in
(09:50):
a stolen vehicle, and then he goes on a damn
shopping spree. The vehicle eventually breaks down in another county
and Dickie takes off into the woods. He ends up
stealing yet another car and sets a house on fire
before he is eventually caught. Now, as you heard in
(10:13):
the clip I just played, he messed with the wrong dad,
and this guy has made it his life, his life
mission to keep this from happening to another family. So
the benefit for you and I in this case is
that my co host actually carries a master's degree in
(10:35):
criminal justice. So kJ one, how the hell does this happen?
How the hell does the criminal justice system release this
guy over twenty five times when he has felonies? How
does he overcome some forty arrests to get back on
the streets and destroy a family? How does any of
(10:56):
this make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So I haven't got a copy of hisn'time record, and
I haven't reviewed it or anything like that, So I'm
just going off of basic things that tend to happen here.
But probably pleading down. Probably a lot of the things
that he's done have been plugged down in the beginning
of his criminal career, and he's picked up on that.
(11:18):
They learned. These people learn, criminals like this learn they
know the drill. They know when they go before they
know it's going to get knocked down. They know the
things that they should say and do, and so pled down.
I don't know if he also had a juvenile record
or not, and so I don't know if these thirty
nine include a juvenile record, which then again would have
not been do you know.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I actually his dad said in that clip that since
the age of fifteen, this particular individual was averaging over
to a rest a year.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So that's my point. So if he was a juvenile,
then those wouldn't have rolled over into his adult record,
so you would have knocked those off, so it wouldn't
have even really been accounted for, you know what I'm saying.
So then he becomes an adult and they give him
chance after chance, they do a plea down, and what
tends to happen here, and I'm not blaming prosecutors, but
I'm just going to give you the reality here, is
that a conviction is a conviction no matter how you
(12:10):
get it in terms of how effective a prosecutor is.
And so if this guy steps forward and says, look,
i'll plead guilty. If we can plea down to a
lesser charge, well, then the prosecutor would be almost a
fool to not take it. It's a win. It's an
easy win. And there's so many people in the criminal
justice system every single day they're just you know, we're
rolling through it. And so he gets arrested and then
(12:32):
he gets released, He gets arrested, and he gets released.
And we also don't know specifics on where every arrest
took place. So if this is different states that he
did crimes freeze in the courts may not speak to
one another, you know what I'm saying. So there's a
million things that can happen, and in twenty twenty five,
I think the average person thinks that it's more of
a well oiled machine than it really is, right, And
(12:55):
that's what happens, and the criminals benefit every single time.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, and I think he nailed when you said that
you learn as a criminal, Okay, I can do this.
It's going to get pled down to this and I'm
not going to get much, if any, jail time. It's
similar to raising kids. If you say, how many of
us that have kids out there have told our children, Hey,
(13:19):
if you do that again, I'm going to take your
phone away. And you take it away for an hour
and it was supposed to be a day and you
end up giving it back or whatever. Same situation here.
Those kids, they eventually figure out that mom or dad
is not going to do what they really say they're
going to do. They're not going to grind me for
a week, they end up grinding me for a day.
That sort of thing. The problem is you're playing with
(13:42):
lives here, and in this case, this guy got released
so many times that you know, it doesn't take no
Stradamis to figure out that eventually he's probably going to
kill somebody, and he did. And I don't blame the
uh well, I do kind of blame the justice system.
I think there's got to be some way to stave
(14:06):
off all these plea bargains. These plea bargains have taken
over the justice system in such a way that it
seems like there are tons of people running around on
the streets that shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, in this one, I mean, these are violent offenses,
you know, and felonies. It's not like these are misdemeanors
of you know, adult Yeah, it's not. Well, they may
have been, we don't know, but all of them aren't.
And clearly he had to have gone before a judge
at some point in this criminal record, have been a nuisance,
and that judge look at this and go all right, buddy,
(14:41):
we're tired of dealing with you. We are tired of
dealing with you. I mean, that's the point of three
strikes and you're out in Louisiana, you know. But they
have to meet a certain muster. And so for example,
in Louisiana, you know, it's not just three any three
drug offenses and you go to prison for the rest
of your life. Now, I mean, these have to be
a violence of certain amounts, has got to be drugs
(15:01):
that are punishable by certain amounts of time. And so
he probably and again this is a guestimation here, but
he's probably falling right underneath that that you know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That line.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, And so he continues to get to ride the waves, and.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
He probably knows where that line is, and so you know,
he's cognizant of those three strike laws.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And people of that come from the gutter. And if
you don't know what I'm talking about, educate yourself on this.
But people who come from like nothing, for example, they
grew up in households where it's a single mom, maybe
low income. They don't have much, they've never had much,
and then they become adults and then you take them
and you put him in jail where they get fed
regularly and they have a bed, and they're getting medical care,
(15:46):
and they're getting their friends are there, literally, their friends
are there. Jail is not Jail is more of a
punishment to someone who doesn't break the law than someone
who consistently breaks the law.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think he just nailed. Yeah, someone that appreciates their
freedom doesn't like being in jail. Someone that never has
really had freedom. I mean, they're on the streets hanging
out with their boys, and now their boys are in jail.
Where do you think they want to be?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Well? And when life is a and I'm not giving
this guy an ounce of victim here, but when life
is not sunshine and rainbows from the jonp then it's
like comparing jail is just like regular life. You just
can't walk free. I mean that. I think that's part
of the issue there, and we just catch and release
(16:36):
doesn't do anything right, you know, I want I would
guess just what I've heard from this dad. I'd guess
he's unemployed. I guess that he's got no education. I
would guess that he doesn't have a car, you know,
I would guess all of these things, and no wonder. Yeah,
he's running around stealing from other people so he can
make money.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That's right. And I'll tell you he absolutely did mess
with the wrong dad because this guy letting up, he
has a fire in his heart and in his ass
right now that he is going to push until there's change.
And I love that part of it. Well, he's taken
(17:15):
the most horrible thing in his life and he's doing
something good with it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, And I like the part too where he says,
I don't know if this this part is in that
actual clip you just played, but that he couldn't protect
his own daughter, but he can look out for other
people and that's his job.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Is that this is ridiculous? Thirty nine arrests thirty nine
Are you kidding me? Because in schools where it's the
offenses aren't even that serious. I mean, you get enough,
they kick you out of the school. Right, these are
serious offenses. And think of all the victims here now too.
Also think of how many people have had their shit stolen,
how many people have been offended in whatever manner of
(17:57):
all of these crimes, and now we have a young
girl dead. People should be ashamed, We should be as
when we say the system. By the way, you can't
blame the system. The system is not a thing. It's
a multiple part complex, you know, intertwined grouping of things
that have to take place. But we should as a
society should be ashamed that this was allowed to happen.
(18:19):
When someone has been arrested thirty nine times, when someone
tells you who they are, or they show you who
they are, we need to believe them. That's right, he's
a criminal, that's right.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Well, let's move on to Michigan. Now, this one's horrid,
but two days after a devastating attack on a church
of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, it shattered this
small Michigan community. The investigators are coming through the wreckage
of the burned out chapel, trying to find clues that
may help them make sense of what the FBI says
may have been a quote targeted act of violence. The
(18:52):
attacker and Iraq war veteran who made disparaging comments about
the LDS faith in the weeks before unleashing bullets and
fire on all of the constituents, drove his car into
the chapel where he opened fire and set ablaze the building,
where improvised explosive devices later were found. Now he was
killed in a police shootout. Four people were killed and
(19:14):
eight were wounded by gunfire, according to the Grand Blanc
Township police chief, and he said that all that were
injured or wounded are expected to recover. Three others suffered
smoke inhalation. It could have been much worse had it
not been for the heroic response, authority said. And here
is what we know. Congregants had gathered at the Grand
Blanc church for the ten am service, and it was
(19:36):
a monthly fast Sunday when LEDs members around the world
are encouraged to forego two meals and donate the food
or the money that they would have spent on food
to the poor. Worshippers. By late morning had finished the sacrament,
which was the first half of the two hour service,
after which some congregants leave. That's whenever we heard a
big bang and the doors flew open. According to a
(19:57):
church goer named Paula, the attack had rammed his four
door pickup truck into the front of the chapel, and
then he fired several rounds from an assault weapon at
worshippers before somehow setting the building on fire and sending
huge plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. The
congregants shielded children and they helped them move to safety.
Medical residents that were attending the service jumped straight into action,
(20:21):
acting as the first responders to help the wounded, and
nearby there were some nurses that were on strike or
were striking, and they left their picket line and ran
to the church to try and help. Police were on
the scene in less than a minute after the first
nine one one call, and Sandford was killed in the
parking lot eight minutes after police arrived. The man police
(20:43):
say committed the attack. His name was Thomas Sandford, who
was forty years old, had served in the Marines and
he worked as a mechanic in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He
was an avid hunter who grew up in Flint and
he was known in the small Michigan town of Burton
for his distinctive pickup truck, which he often drove with
two American flags flying from the bed behind him. It
(21:04):
seems to be the same truck he used to ram
the church. Sandford was married. He had a young son
that was born with a rare genetic disorder, and social
media accounts that were linked to his family were the
ones that gave that information. The family did launch a
go Fundme campaign to fundraise for treatment for the child's
congenital hyperinsulinism, which required a lengthy hospital stay and surgeries
(21:27):
that had to remove portions of his pancreas. And so
it had been they were documenting this long and very
difficult journey of his son now. Sandford was a quote fun,
loving family guy according to a longtime friend of his name,
Kara Pattison, but he also harbored unkind feelings towards certain
groups and he definitely talked about groups of people in
(21:48):
ways that were not acceptable. That also was, according to Pattison,
that included openly declaring his hatred for the LDS Church.
Sandford had a relationship with a woman in the LDS
Church while he lived briefly in Utah and Sanford heavily
abused drugs at that time. There appears to be no
motive outside of pure hatred. And I will add to
(22:10):
this that I saw this morning, right before we were
recording this. Do you know that those church people got
together the victims of this very man's crimes against them
and raised I think over two hundred thousand dollars to
give to his son for his medical expenses. Wow, that's
beyond anything I expected.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I would say the same. And you know, this case,
I've seen a lot out there people not excuse Obviously,
there's no excuse for what he did, but there are
people that are out there and they're hypothesizing that he
had some stuff from the war going on in his head.
And of course, look, I don't give a shit. None
(22:54):
of that excuses us at all. I mean, it's certainly
people out there that are war get their heads screwed up,
but none of you know, there are very few go
out there and just shoot up churches. In this case,
it also seems like he had a lot of hate,
a lot of hate for this particular religion. And I
don't know a whole lot about this religion, but he
(23:19):
had hate in his heart, and that's what this seems like.
A hate crime.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Absolutely, I would I would absolutely say this was a
hate crime. One. How can you just hate people you've
never met? I just don't. I can't relate to that.
I don't hate people I've never met. You know, I
talked about this too. Get your thoughts. I talked about
this with my husband recently that you know, there's people
around the world who hate Americans, like just hate us,
(23:44):
and I don't hate them like I don't hate other people.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Hate is such a strong, heavy thing to have for someone.
And if I don't have a personal relationship with you,
I have a hard time hating you. How do you
get there? And so to me, I almost feel like
maybe he had self indoctrinated into some weird fanaticism and
it sounds like he had.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
A relationship with some people that were in that religion. Yeah,
and it didn't go well, And maybe that awesome manipulated
of his head. But what a what a piece of
shit to kill a bunch of innocent people just because
you disagree with whatever it is, and.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
To leave your own child, yeah, Like, and I'm not
discounting those other victims but you're willing to go leave
your own child because you hate someone else strangers that much.
That's that's wild, that's not normal. And I don't I
hate whenever veterans get brought into these types of things.
Oh will he served in the war, Well, no doubt
(24:47):
that can cause problems in people. But you don't get
to turn around and hurt other people as a result
of that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's right, And veterans will be the first one to
tell you absolutely that you're a piece of shit for
doing that, you know. So we'll move on to the
friendly skies and I'm gonna tell you a pretty wild
story that you don't come around often, and it involves
American Airlines, which has been slaped with an eleven million
(25:12):
dollar bill after a jury rule the carrier failed to
adequately treat a man even though he showed signs of
a stroke before takeoff of his transatlantic flight. This verdict
came after a six day trial in September, where jurors
sided with the passenger and his wife, California resident Jesus Placina,
(25:35):
then sixty seven, displayed worrying symptoms while the plane was
still parked at the gate. Plincina briefly lost motor control
and the ability to speak. His wife noticed he was
in distress. She immediately flagged down crew members and she
urged those flight attendants and the captain to get medical help.
(25:57):
But instead of following company rules, Silet allegedly laughed off
the incident. The suit claimed the captain joked with the wife,
brushed aside the concerns, and then cleared the plane for departure.
Protocols state the airlines should have called in medical experts
before the plane left the ground, and lawyers argued that
(26:20):
the rules have been that had the rules been followed,
doctors would have quickly spotted the emergency. Instead, the flight
took off with Plancina on board, and disaster soon struck.
Hours into the nearly eight hour TRUP, he suffered a
major stroke over the Atlantic Ocean. Not a whole lot
you can do then, right. Medical professionals on the plane
(26:42):
stepped in, but they said that the jet didn't have
the equipment that you would need, such as a blood
pressure cuff, and that surprised me. The crew had little
to no choice but to continue the journey to Spain.
When the plane landed in Madrid, Plancina was rushed to
a high biddle. He remained in critical condition for more
than three weeks before being flown back to the US. So, wow,
(27:08):
you know, eleven million dollars, but shocking that before the
plane even took off. I couldn't even believe what I
was reading when I came across this article, because normally,
if you would bring that to the attention of a
flight attendant and say I think my husband's having a stroke,
they would say get the hell off.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
The plane right like immediately.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And this is a lawsuit that has been covered and
it's a done deal, and he's getting eleven million dollars,
which I'm not saying any amount of money is worth that,
but it's you know, it's one of those things where
you say, it's got to be true. The captain actually
laughed this off when they told him. It's bizarre to me.
(27:50):
I would think you were you were lying to me
if you told me that story ahead of time, before
it's been settled.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, Oh, I don't know. I wonder if maybe they
were worried but then kind of minimize the symptoms, because
then he was like, well, I don't know, I'm kind
of feeling better, and maybe they kind of chuckled about it,
and he was like you okay, And he's like, yeah,
I think I'm okay. You know what I'm saying. Maybe
it was that kind of interaction.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well not according to the lawsity, I mean, according to
the lawsuit, the captain said, we're taking off anywhay they
took off.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They take drunk people off for less than that. Yeah,
I don't Yeah, I don't get that, and that this was.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Bad judgment at its bestment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Really, And then you're wondering, I wonder if this was
all about, like if they were on schedule or not. Yeah,
sit down, sir, buckle up. We have places to go,
but then not to have a blood pressure cup or
any type of thing. You know, you're about to be
gone over a waterway. That's kind of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're not flying from Atlanta the Louisiana. I mean, you're
not taking a forty five minute fly.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Like, what do they have?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
What do we have?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Any airline people that listen to this, I'd be curious
to know what do you have on the plane or should.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You have typically would have something.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Like that something, I mean, I wonder, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I believe they even have. Uh, the shocking the paddles.
Get the shocking paddles that shocked your heart in case
you have a heart attack on the plane.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, they probably got an aed Yeah is what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I got you. Yeah, I would think so clear. Yes, yeah,
I was thinking it was like charged in the wall,
like you have them hung up like a phone in
the wall of the plane. Everybody please put your please
put your phones in airplane mode. We need to shock
a passenger. Yeah, not even lie of it, but yeah,
that's that's wild. And I hope that do better, you know,
because that could have killed him. Yeah, definitely could have
(29:36):
killed him. Now we're gonna move on to another crisis.
I wouldn't say it's quite as serious, but some women
might think it is because a twenty six year old
bath and body works associate in Houston was arrested Thursday
after what police described as a candle crisis, which sparked
was sparked by a heated sail dispute. According to shoppers,
(29:57):
Rachel Morgan was stocking shelves during the stores three three
wick candle promotion when a customer tried to apply an
expired coupon. Morgan allegedly slammed the registered shut and shouted,
these deals are hot enough already, golly. Witnesses say she
then lit one of the display candles, held it aloft
(30:20):
like a torch, and declared no discounts shall pass while
blocking the exit. The scent, ironically named comb Breeze filled
the store as chaos broke out. Police say Morgan refused
to leave until every customer recited the words limit ten
per customer, get out. Some onlookers praised her as a
(30:41):
defender of seasonal savings, while others said she had turned
smellgood into jail time.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Listen, these three wicks are serious in my house. I
do appreciate a good three Wi candle.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, and how dare her try to use that koopa
a fixed by coopon?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
The sales were good enough people.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, it's a hot enough deal, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Trying to get more sounds like.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
An employee that may have been working too many hours.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That sounds to me like a man. She plays dungeons
and dragons and loves renfest. I guarantee no discount shall pass.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I love it. And that was Houston, Texas, that was Houston, Texas.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Wow, I would want to go to that store just
just to see the scene of the crime.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
People be serious at bath and body work.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Hey, Christmas time, you better get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, and it's getting close. She was probably getting her
mind mentally prepared.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
And maybe it was all the toxicst sight. They say
the candles have permanent toxins. When you burn them in
your house, you can never get rid of them. Maybe
she was affected.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
There may be something to that so allegedly. Yeah, all right,
Well we'll move on to some pretty big news as
this case is finally coming to a close. Shan Combed
Day of reckoning is almost here and things saying looking
good for the bad boy Mogul.
