Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott VORDIEZ horrible story here in Omaha that could have
been so much worse. And I do want to take
a moment to incredibly sarcastically say to those of you
who say, no, no, we don't need police officers need
to be defunded, defund the police, and we certainly don't
need things like no knock search warrants or anything like that.
(00:22):
You know, what if someone is behaving poorly and you
know they're in a building, a business with people around,
just I don't know, follow them home or wait for
him to just send them a text message. We probably
have their phone numbers somewhere, send them a text and say, hey,
you shouldn't have done that, so come on out with
your hands up and everything will be fine. We wouldn't
(00:45):
want officers to be able to get the jump on
a suspect not knowing that cops were coming down. We
want to announce loudly, hey, we know you're in the
bathroom here at this gas station, and we know that
you have a gun and you've already shot someone as
recently is like two hours ago, so we're giving you
time to reload and take up a tactical position and
(01:07):
try and take out cops. Do you hear that you
get all that? Let us know that you're okay with that,
because that's what happened yesterday. We could have had three
police officers killed as well as civilians getting big gulps
and everything else beef jerky gasoline at a gas station.
(01:27):
And I'm sure that there are a number of people,
a bunch of cop hating people who were very upset
that these officers weren't more badly injured or even killed.
Is there are a lot of people that think, well,
you know, hey, sometimes that happens to them. So to you,
I sarcastically say, ah, man, that had to have been
rough for you not to have these officers killed, for
(01:50):
them to be we had three officers, two shot, one
injured by shrapnel during the shootout. That officer who was
hit by shrapnel has already been discharged from the hospital.
These are gang unit guys. If you're not familiar with
our timeline, yesterday Northeast Omaha, just afternoon at the big
(02:14):
grocery store area there at like thirty second and Ames,
Northeast Omaha. That's where a guy was shot and shot
and shot man was critically injured in the shooting. The
police were able to get through I don't know, surveillance
or witness accounts, the description on the vehicle. They even
(02:37):
got the license plates from some information, and they were
able to track the vehicle down a few hours later.
Now it is well south of there, at a gas
station near thirty third and L Streets. This guy's just
heading up and down the thirty second Street corridor, which
technically doesn't exist. But go with me on this. Now,
(03:00):
he's at thirty third and L gas station. There a
couple of restaurants and for you know, threes or so
in the afternoon, a pretty busy place in that part
of town. So the guy goes in and goes into
the restroom, as I understand it, and I this could
(03:24):
very well be wrong, but we're getting more details out now.
But it seemed to me that when I got the
details from the Omaha Police Department last night, and I'm
gonna see if I can pull up that dispatch right
now so I can reread it in case I'm wrong,
But it seems to me that when the man went
into the bathroom, it wasn't to go hide from the cops.
(03:46):
It seems to me he did not know he was
under surveillance at the time. Let me read this directly
from the Omaha Police Department. Officers with the OPD Assault
and Gang Units located the suspect vehicle in the area
of thirty eighth and Harrison. Surveillance was established. Detectives followed
(04:06):
the car to the gas station at thirty second and
l The suspect exited his car and went into the
QT the Quick Trip gas station, and then entered the
men's bathroom. So detectives followed the car. It's not described
as a pursuit, a chase, officers with their lights on
or anything, or even in a marked car. This guy
(04:29):
didn't know that police were tailing him. This would have
been an excellent opportunity to go in there and get
the jump on the guy. Now you know what would
have happened then, right, if this suspect was just gun happy,
trigger happy, finger on the trigger, ready to go, and
suddenly anyone that comes through that door looking like a cop,
(04:50):
suddenly here come the bullets, and someone just a guy
in there buying Grandma's cookies or little Chocolate donuts or
something get shot. And then everyone's like, well, these cops
shouldn't have acted like that and go in there all
military style, all raging with their masculinity and testosterone toxic
(05:12):
cop behavior. This is what gets people killed. So what
people gets people get shot. These officers, what they should
have done was they should have quietly gotten everyone out
of the store and out of the entire area and
then said, hey, when you're done, go ahead, wash your
hands and then come on out and we'll cuff those
washed hands. And the officer who would have went, dude,
(05:34):
all right, the jig is up. I had a good run,
you know, because all these people think that you can
shoot a gun out of a suspect's hand, and any
suspect who knows he's been cornered and has no other
alternative turns himself in nobly like an episode of Colombo.
How'd you know, lieutenant? So none of that happens in
(05:57):
real life. But the officers, and I don't know if
it was directive policy and abundance of caution, I don't know.
I don't know why they didn't go in there. I
don't know why a plain clothes detective didn't go in there,
just in there wearing just a big gold parka some jeans.
(06:19):
Cold day yesterday, yesterday afternoon, very blustery, windy, cold day.
He's got a gun all bundled up and underneath his
big jacket, big coat, a whole bunch of guns and
body camera and all the rest of this stuff. And
when it was safe to do so, you either tackle
(06:39):
or put a pull a gun or both on this guy.
And that's when the officers go in there. Why in
the world, And I hope that our good friend and
fantastic police Chief Todd Schmater and the coolest mayor Johnny
when he had a T shirt wore it on Facebook,
(06:59):
take look at this situation and if there's if there
has been any capitulation to anti cop activists who will
never be happy with anything cops do as long as
they're cops. So this whole idea of you know, no
knock search warrants and what if someone get shot and
all the rest of this stuff. I know, I'm Thursday
(07:21):
Morning quarterbacking this one. But these guys are the experts,
marrying years of law enforcement in his background. Tach modern
years of being Omaha police chief, had been and had
served our community in law enforcement for years before that.
These guys know law enforcement much better than I do.
(07:45):
But I also know there's a lot of stress on
political pressure on this department, on law enforcement in general,
and why the decision was made to when they had
this guy in the bathroom and they couldn't see him.
They don't have windows into the bathroom, you know, couldn't
see him, didn't know what he was doing in there,
and suddenly they just knock on the door. How long
(08:06):
are you gonna be where the cops? We know you
already shot someone a couple of hours ago. Come on out,
wash your hands, come on out. Why didn't they send
a plane clothes in there and get the drop on
the guy, and then they're like okay, and then all
the like every cop from here to Timbuctoo rushes in
(08:27):
there and they take the guy into custody. I don't
understand why they're out there. It says officers entered the
gas station once other detectives a ride to assist. They
attempted to call the suspect out of the bathroom, and
that's where the initial was described as exchange of gunfire occurred.
(08:49):
I can't imagine our police officers fired first unless they
had they noticed that the guy already had the gun.
I don't know about like if the guy tried to
shoot through a door or whatever. This is the gas
station bathroom door, big heavy metal door. In most instances,
you said.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That they made verbal contact with him, yes, but had
not come out.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I hey, I'll tell you what it says. Okay, the
guy goes into the bathroom. Officers were there, they got
some assistance, and now he's still in the bathroom. They
attempted to call the suspect out of the bathroom and
an initial exchange of gunfire occurred. That's where the first
officer was struck by gunfire. So then if he.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Was the one struck by shrapnel, then that couldn't be
get the guy shot through the door.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Noh, they says. One officer was struck. At this time,
officers retreated outside the main bathroom door and tactically positioned
themselves again calling the suspect out. The suspect then exits
the bathroom and opens fire, injuring another officer with gunfire.
(10:04):
Officers return fire. They kill the suspect and a third
officer was injured by shrapnel during this second encounter. Also
in the midst of this, there's a customer in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
In the bathroom. Yeah with him, yes, annoyingly well at
that point.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, and wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Those are usually only for no it's a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This is a quick trip, quick trip, good bathrooms, good
clean convenience store. I've always liked quick trip.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I need to go to better bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You can't go wrong stopping at a quick trip for
getting a few snacks, beverages, gassing up in a bathroom solid.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
To another.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So there there is a guy in there. It's probably
two three doll's, couple of arnal's, and and so I
don't know where the other suspect was. I don't know
if he was in stall, standing here washing up. Maybe
he was a bathroom attendant. Would you like a mint, sir?
I don't think they. I mean the quick trip bathrooms
(11:17):
are nice, They're not that nice. So the other guy's
in there, whatever he's doing, I'll put it this way.
Once the exchange of gunfire started, if he wasn't doing
it before he was, then do you catch my drift?
So this guy is in the bathroom, and I, honestly
I don't want to be glib about this. I do
(11:38):
try and looking at a story, put myself in everyone's
shoes in a situation. Can you imagine being that guy?
You're there in the restroom. It's what did this happened at?
I don't know two three o'clock yesterday afternoon we started
getting the details. I think that was around three. But
(12:00):
so here at mid afternoon, I don't know if he's
knocking off work for the day or he's like, hey,
i gotta go pick up my kids at school. I'm
gonna pop in here. And I don't know how mundane
his Wednesday afternoon was to that point, but it suddenly
took a turn and a story he'll be telling everyone
about and people will say, hey, tell us the story
(12:23):
again about the time that all this happened, and he
was probably thinking, this guy is just firing away at cops.
Cops are understandably shooting back. I'm gonna die in here.
And so now the first exchange of gunfire happens, an
(12:45):
officer is hit, and the officers are now trying to
get the guy out of the bathroom again. I don't know,
we don't back in. Oh yeah, he was still in there.
That was his tactical position. Okay, So I don't know
who let it be known that there's a customer in there.
I don't know if the guy was like, I've got
(13:06):
hostages or whatever, or the officers note. I don't know.
The only detail we have right now is there was
one civilian inside the bathroom at the time of the
first volley of gunfire. He was safely called out before
the second encounter with the suspect. So as bad as
(13:29):
this gunman was in the bathroom, at least he wasn't
a civilian killing maniac, because this could have gotten really,
really bad.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
But he shot another guy who was a civilian.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'll put it this way. I'm connecting dots here. This
is an assumption a gang unit was called. One guy
was shot, probably targeted earlier in the day in northeast
I don't think that was just well, I'm gonna shoot
someone today, Sorry, bub you're the guy. I think he
(14:08):
was probably targeted, not to say justified. I am saying targeted.
Probably gang unit suggests gang warfare. The guy in the
bathroom is just some poor s ob South Omaha boy.
This happened in South Omaha. And if this gunman were
an absolute craze murdering maniac, like indiscriminately, you know, then
(14:32):
this this guy could have died in that bathroom. Cops
are like, let's get that guy out of there. What
did that look like, gunman did? The customer comes out
of the stall, looks in the eyes of the gunman.
Gunman's like, go, if that, if that happened, that is
the last and maybe only noble thing this criminal did
(14:54):
in his entire life, and thank God for that. Obviously,
what happened next not at all noble. Now they got
the customer out of there, he's probably still running. I
just want to get as far away from this situation
as possible. And then the second exchange, gunfire happens. I
(15:17):
don't know why this guy thought like, I'm gonna Butch
Cassidy my way out of here. By the way, that
didn't end very well for Butch. And so the guy's
dead and you've got three officers injured, two shot, one
hit by shrapnel. Here's the great news on this. It
was reported by both the mayor and the chief. They
(15:37):
visited with the officers at the hospital and said they
were in good spirits. That's great. A non life threatening
gunshot wound sounds great. When it happens to somebody else,
you don't want to be the person and have someone say, well,
the good news is it's a non life threatening gunshot wound.
You don't want any gunshot wound. These officers, especially after
(16:02):
the first cop was hit, knew the danger and they
stood there to protect the citizens anyway, because that's what
they do. And Mayor Ewing said as much. He said, quote,
I want to commend the Omaha Police officers for the
great police work and the bravery they showed at getting
a plate license plate and following up on that and
(16:24):
doing what was necessary to try to be able to
complete and arrest unquote. Quick Trip even issued a statement
because it was noted yesterday this is the second time
an officer has been hit by a suspect, shot by
a suspect while an apprehension was attempt to be made
at a quick trip. Different quick trip. We don't have
(16:44):
enough quick trips in our community. I'm giving them special
love today. One because when I lived in Kansas City,
I was a customer of a bank that had all
of the ATMs in all the quick trips in Kansas City,
so you wouldn't have to pay like this. ATM charges
you two dollars to get your money out. Note not
at quick trip. When I was in Kansas City with
(17:05):
umb Bank, so I've always appreciated QT for that. I'm
giving them extra love because for them, they're like, hey,
we're on the news again, and here's a reporter standing
there in a cold, blustery day, hair not even being touched.
Newscaster hair, news reporter hair doesn't even move in the wind.
And behind all the sirens of the police tape there's
(17:27):
a Quick Trip gas station and they're like, come on,
you had the one here recently at one hundred and
twenty if Ish and Dodge, and then this one yesterday
thirty second and l so. Quick Trip issued a statement
and said, our top priority is always the safety of
our employees and customers. We are working closely with the
Omaha Police Department to assist with this ongoing investigation into
(17:50):
an enforcement action at one of our Omaha locations that
resulted an officers being injured. Our thoughts are with the
officers and their families as they recover. We greatly appreciate
our partnership with the Omaha Police Department and its continued
efforts to keep our employees and customers safe. We will
continue to take necessary and appropriate measures to ensure the
safety and well being of our employees, customers and communities
(18:13):
we serve, unquote appreciate that statement. They didn't try and
tiptoe around like, hey, we're not telling the cops nothing
if you're if you're in our community and you want
to use the bathroom, we don't snitch. You know, they
didn't do. They said, we appreciate our partnership with the
Omaha Police Department. Solid. So the guy's dead, the officers
(18:40):
are recovering, one's already out discharged from the hospital. That
was That could have been a much worse situation. I
hope that all of it leads to Okay, should this
happen again in the future, why would we loudly announce
our presence to a guy we know is hold up
(19:01):
in a confined space, maybe with customers inside, with a
gun he has already used as recently as noon today.
I would have preferred be done differently, but unless that
sounds infuriating and small minded for me to say so,
but I imagine the officers also would have preferred that
this has been done in a different way too. Scott
(19:24):
News Radio eleven ten KFAB got an email from Michelle says,
all right, the shooting at the gas station was the
bathroom on the inside of the building. Yes, I am
an aficionado of convenience stores, and I know who's got
what where, and a quick trip, as I mentioned good
(19:45):
bathrooms spent countless hours. I don't know. I yeah, they're
in They're inside the store. It's a large convenience store area.
The bathrooms are inside, probably back left.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I want to know how you have enough knowledge to
be able to compare convenience store bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You tell me, give me a location of any any
point in the area. I'll tell you the best place,
and I'll answer this question for you, because as a guy, clearly,
I mean, if you've ever how do I put this delicately,
if you've ever been in a men's room, you know
that not everyone takes great care in serving humanity with
(20:34):
what apparently goes on in there. And I didn't really
care too much when I was just a single, swinging guy,
but then I had kids, and then I had a
girl child, and occasionally you're off with your daughter and
you're like, Daddy, I gotta go to the bathroom. Okay,
Well I can't send this little kid into the ladies
(20:56):
room all by herself. So she goes into the men's room,
and that's when I realize, oh no, this place is
the worst place ever, every one of them. And so
that's when you start kind of getting an idea in
your head, like, all right, if she says she has
to go, this is the kind of place I want
to take you. Ever see those billboards on the side
of the interstate with the lady doing the two thumbs
(21:18):
up and it says mom approved bathrooms. I don't think
I have parents. Know when you get especially dad's when
you got to take a little girl into the men's room,
they're like, okay, even a little boy. The little boys
are like, all right, I touch everything. No, don't touch anything.
So I know where the clean restrooms are.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Eighty fourth and Center.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Well, if you're an eighty fourth and Center, I would probably.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Now see, you're just going to make another business feel bad.
I wouldn't do this.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm fine with this eighty fourth and Center. I would
go into the Cinema Center or the Gemini Movie Theater
or shop co.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
All right, okay, right, they're.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
All still there. I are all still there. Just pop
into the cinema center, get some popcorn and.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Pinkies.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Sorry, now, that's an eighty fourth and park drive.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And then as far as I mentioned the quick trip
in their statement in favor of law enforcement, Ryan says,
they give free coffee to law enforcement. It's a great policy,
trying to give them some extra love since we had
two officers shot in separate incidents, both at different quick
trip gas stations and quick trips like we we are
(22:40):
here to serve the public in many other ways. Don't
think of us like this. Please the other big local story.
I saw a lot of really interesting reaction to this
on social media, people reposting the story the news and
saying some variation of how could he do this to us?
(23:01):
What an embarrassment for the city of Omaha. We give
him this big parade and bail him out of jail
and Mayor Ewing has the worst day of his life
because of him, and then he doesn't pay for his
boxing title. We always wondered when Terrence Bud Crawford was
(23:22):
going to lose his first fight, who was going to
be able to beat him? As it turns out, Joe
in accounting with the World Boxing Committee the WBC.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm sure there is a perfectly acceptable explanation.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Willie in accounting took to some guy, some pencil necked
geek sitting at a computer. He still hasn't paid. Well,
do we tell him he needs to pay? We told him,
We told his people, told his manager, told his legal counsel.
He didn't pay. All right, take away his belt. I
(24:01):
think he still has the belt, like he's still in
possession of the physical belt. But suddenly they said that
belt suddenly means nothing. So here's what they still. Here's
what they said. His super middleweight title, he failed Bud
Crawford Pride, Almaha, Nebraska, failed to pay sanctioned fees after
(24:24):
his last two fights against Israel Madramoff and this last
one here where he took he he defeated Canelo Alvarez
and got that title, earned fifty million dollars for that
Alvarez fight alone. And as I heard here on news
radio eleven ten kfab and a Jim Rose sports update
(24:46):
this morning, apparently the World Boxing Committee takes a percentage
of whatever the boxers get, and that which is zero
point six percent of how much is made, the boxer
is supposed to give back point six percent and that
money goes into kind of a pension fund. For boxers
(25:07):
and their families, because not every boxer through the years
has come up there and made fifty million dollars for
a fight. There's a lot of old guys sitting there
still they got calliflower ear, and they still can't see
out their left eye, and they've got nothing like, Hey,
I'm interested in the job here, what are your skills? Well,
I punch people, sir. This is a dentist's office, you know.
(25:30):
So it's it's a pension fund for these guys who
came up risking their lives getting hardly anything for it
other than broken noses.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
We should start a pension fund for radio people.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, this is much the same thing. It will start
a pension.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Fun ears through my headphones, Yeah, we'll start.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
A pension fund. The problem with the pension is you
need more people painting into the funds than those who
would be receiving it. And with all the people laid
off and fired in this industry, like twelve radio people
trying to pay a pension for twelve hundred taxpayers. Yeah,
this isn't gonna this is I'm declaring the fund insolvent. Okay,
(26:12):
By the way, what's point six percent of free coffee
So Bud Crawford makes fifty million dollars for this fight,
he is supposed to pay about two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars. Is that all a lot of Well, yeah,
it's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Out of fifty million.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But it's when you compare it against fifty million.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
What buddy, he has to pay taxes on the fifty million,
and I think they're at a higher rate when you
quote unquote win them.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Right, Bud Crawford, you see him, Walmart Greeter, he'll tell
take any job he can get. This guy's destitute. So
I'll say this, Bud Crawford doesn't manage his own money.
At no point was Bud Crawford like, hey, let's take
a look at the paperwork and let's figure this out.
(26:59):
He's got people and based on the quality of the
people around him, which as I said at the night
after his celebratory parade here in Omaha, had the big
party and then was speeding in the streets of downtown Omaha,
gun visible in the car and the officers are like,
(27:20):
step out of the car, let's figure this out. It
really wasn't all that big a deal, but a lot
of people turn it into a big deal. And some
of those people were those on the Bud Crawford team
who are saying, I'm I'm calling the mayor. How dare
these officers are unjustified in their actions? Yes, pulling a
car over late at night with a bunch of people
(27:41):
they don't know, guns visible in the vehicle, people in
the back seat they can't see. Let's get everyone out
and figure this out. This all went exactly how it
was supposed to. But there were some people who're just like,
I don't know, how come I can't speed one hundred
miles per hour in a twenty five mile per hour
zone and have gun in the car and not be
hassled by the cops. That was some of his some
(28:03):
of Bud Crawford's people saying that now those are bodyguard people.
I hope they're not also the ones handling the books.
I provide security and accounting for the champ. That's probably
not the right thing. Domination has skill sets. So who
are his people and why didn't his people pay this?
(28:25):
Did they think? And this is what I would think
as well? Like, okay, so everyone already knew whatever my
take is from the fight, I got to pay this
percentage to this pension fund. Why wasn't that deducted before
I was issued payment? Are you sure it wasn't So,
I don't know. I do know this. The the people
(28:52):
who from the World Boxing Committee that told the champ
and his people apparently after two like you guys do
need to pay this fee?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He disappeared. Apparently my kid.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Not Yeah, not getting back to them was the wrong
course of action, what I And then they said, all right,
because we didn't even receive so much as an up
yours on the receipt or any response in these communications,
then we have no choice but to consider Champion Crawford
(29:29):
had received ample notification, multiple opportunities to address and resolve
the situation. Because he hasn't. They have vacated his super
middleweight title belt, and they said, all right, and the
belt's vacant. Hamza shahiz Or Shiraz will fight for the
vacant title against Christian BILLI.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Does he have to send it to him? They probably
pay postage.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They'd probably make another belt.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I don't know, But so this belt is going to
end up on pawn Stars at about forty years as
the belt that was taken back.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Right there next to Reggie Bush's vacated Heisman Trophy. But
like the Reggie Bush situation, I believe what happens next
is suddenly Bud Crawford is people like Bud's probably calls
people going gentlemen, exactly what the hell is this? I
(30:25):
don't know if he knew anything about all this. I'll
give him the benefit of the doubt. Bud Crawford's job
is to punch people hard and then train for the
next time he needs to punch people even harder. So
Bud Crawford's probably not in there taking a look at
Hey give me those spreadsheets, but can you put them
in an Excel spreadsheet for me? It's just easier for
(30:46):
me to read. I don't think I'll get him the
benefit of the doubt. He didn't know anything about this,
so now he either is directing his team or getting
a whole new team to then put a legal stay
on this decision until such time as the situation is
figured out, either through payment rendered or some sort of
(31:07):
negotiation which would then allow I would hope Bud Crawford
to retain this title, whether it does or doesn't. Though
Bud Crawford is the super middleweight title holder the only
one to have three belts in these different classifications at
the same time. He is the undisputed undefeated, not even
(31:29):
so much as knocked down boxing champion, best boxer of
all time, arguable bad with paperwork, probably bad with picking
a team. Like a lot of other athletes. They are like, hey,
all my good friends and a bunch of guys I
just knew in their cousins, Hey, you're all in charge.
(31:50):
Probably an awful idea, but whatever ends up happening with
the paperwork aspect of this, Bud Crawford is the champ.
They can take away his title on paper, but Bud
Crawford is the champ. A couple of years ago, when
Gretna won that high school football championship and then they
vacated it because one kid on the team had a
(32:12):
paperwork dispute between two divorced parents as to who was
living in the district and what his home district was,
which all those rules are now at the window. Gretna
earned that football championship, You guys are the champs and
Class A for that year. Whatever. A couple of years ago,
a few years ago, and Reggie Bush won that Heisman,
and Pete Rose is in the Hall of Fame, so
(32:33):
they can do whatever they want on paper. Those things
are the facts Scott by all the people on social
media going what an embarrassment for Omaha, The Bud Crawfords
people didn't pay a thing, and it's not This is
not an embarrassment for Omaha. This is not shame on
the champ. This is a paper work issue and either
(32:54):
it'll be resolved to everyone's satisfaction or if it's not,
then I guess that's Bud Crawford's choice. He knows he
won this belt. He doesn't have anything else to prove
to anybody. So if he's like, I'm good, everyone knows it,
and I don't have to pay all this money now,
(33:17):
that would be an awful thing to do, because he
made a ton of money and he agreed that this
is going to go into this pension fund for these
boxers that paved the way before him, who need the
money more than he does. So all the people are
like Bud Craft, Hey, like Bud Crawford doesn't have anything
to apologize to anyone for, and he didn't let anyone down,
(33:37):
but for when you tell someone you're going to do something,
and these would be his people, not him again. His
job punch guys sock fools in face, that's his job.
He's got people that do the paperwork stuff, and those
people when they signed all the agreements, they're the ones
who said we will pay this money, we will assure
(34:01):
that payment is rendered, and then they didn't do it.
And these are Bud's people. His name's at the top
of this ticket. He needs to hold them accountable. That's
all paperwork stuff though, not boxing, not all the kids
looking up to him, not the hard scrabble story of
a guy coming up here on the main streets Omaha
and making something of himself and inspiring others to do
(34:22):
the same. So all the people are like he brought
shame on olmah. No, he didn't there. There were people
really driving home yesterday going Bud Crawford had a paperwork
issue with the WBC. What am I gonna tell my kids?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Do you think he's gonna make the guys that said
they were going to do it make them come up
with the money their own money.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well, I think either one of two things, other than
paying the thing and honoring your agreement, one of two
things should happen. Either his people should get in the
ring and fight out with the accountants of the WBCIX
my accountants against your accountants, battle Royal Trump Atlantic City.
(35:09):
So that's what should happen, or maybe it'll be maybe
Crawford's like, you know what, I'll just go in there
win that title again. So they took my belt away,
these two guys are gonna pay for it, and they're
gonna fight for it. One of them is gonna win,
and then I'll immediately schedule a fight and have that
guy wet himself for the next six months until we fight,
(35:30):
and I'll take the title again. I'll win it again.
So that could happen to We have a statement from
the champ and I wrote down what Bud Crawford said
in this video because I can't put it on the
radio because I'd say the champ is mad, frustrated, sounds
like he's taking a big stand against the World Boxing Committee.
(35:52):
So to reset this up, Crawford, according to the WBC,
failed to pay sanctioned fees after his last couple of
fights sanctioned by the World Boxing Committee not the only
sanctioning body in boxing. But these guys have a sanctioning fee.
They say it goes into a pension to help other
retired boxers and their families. And it's only zero point
(36:14):
six percent of the fifty million dollars you made, can't
you part with about three hundred and so, Bud Crawford says,
Actually it's about four hundred. Between these last couple of fights.
He says, they say I owe him four hundred thousand
dollars and that I need to apologize. Now here's as
Bud Crawford's filming this video. Once again. This is the
(36:37):
same man who, after a celebratory parade and birthday party
here in Omaha, was arrested, well, was temporarily detained and
ticketed by Omaha police for speeding and reckless driving downtown
while having a gun on the floor of the vehicle.
(36:57):
So Bud Crawford already probably not opening the Terrence Bud
Crawford school of driving here in Omaha. Now he's released
a video on his Instagram page which is him filming
himself as he's driving and looking at the camera. At
least it looks like he's driving. I mean, I'm watching
(37:20):
this and I see him turn the wheel. I can't
really tell. Maybe he's a passenger. Actually, you know what,
as I look at the angle on the video, he's
a passenger. Okay, I detract my snarky comments about his driving.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
This is a first.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, No he that night.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
No your snarky comments being detracted.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
No, I detract the snarkiness when called for when I
realize my mistake. In fact, Ben Gray yells at me.
If I don't, it does look like Bud Crawford is
the passenger in the vehicle on this I did, councilman,
we miss Ben Gray. So Crawford does the video and
(38:04):
his statement here as to whether he knew that his
team didn't pay these fees and whether he feels sorry
about it or whether he'll pay is a very nuanced statement. Lucy.
I'm going to read and put in some extra words
or different words for replacement words for some of that
which he said. And I'll tell you what he said.
(38:26):
You tell me. You try and figure out and parse
these words. Okay, see what he thinks about it, all right.
He said that the guys of the World Boxing Committee
were talking a bunch of stuff and that they're calling
on him to apologize. He says, quote, who the blank
you think I am? You better slap your blanking self
I ain't paying your rear end spit unquote, which would
(38:51):
you like me to There's so many interpretations of the
statement slap your mama. No, you better slap yourself. You
better slap your blanking self.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Oh, because they were slapping him with some kind of well, yeah,
slap yourself. It's that's that's a throwback or a comeback. Yes,
so they must have said something about that. I think
he was telling them to slap their mama.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
No, he wants them to slap themselves. So I ain't
paying your rear and spit. So what do we think?
Do we think he's.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Gonna pay I'm gonna go out on a limb.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Do you think he's sorry about this?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He then goes on to a long rant about how
other boxing sanctioning bodies don't charge these fees. So why
does the WBC think that they're owed some of the
money that I made going in there? Why risking my
pretty face?
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Why is he surprised? There's no way he did this
without knowing, without knowing that there were going to be fees.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Look, look are you looking?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I get where Bud Crawford's coming from. Again, there are
a lot of people that want to sign a lot
of Hey, people look up to you. You need to
probably not use language like this, and you need to
honor your commitments and all that stuff. Again, let's look
at who Bud Crawford is. He is a boxer. He
is not the pastor at your church. He's not the
(40:29):
congressman for your district. He's not dating your daughter and
asking you for her hand in marriage. He is a boxer.
His job is to sock fools in the face. When
not hitting them about the midsection, his job is to
(40:50):
punch people. And when he's not punching people, he is
training for the purpose of punching people. So maybe he's
a little rough around the edges. This guy willingly takes
shots to the face to earn a living and he's
very very good at it, maybe the best ever. So
people are like the language from the Again, he is
(41:11):
a boxer. So is he standing up for other boxers
who don't make fifty million dollars for a fight? You know,
we always have the undercar and we got these two
guys fighting. And then next Friday night and at this place,
the WBC is sanctioning a couple guys that no one's
ever heard of. They're going to go out there and
fight each other and you're risking you're risking your long
(41:35):
term health. I mean, you get enough blows to the head,
you have a hard time seeing straight the rest of
your life. You're seeing ghosts the rest of your life.
That's what these guys do. And then WBC says, hey,
we we sanctioned that fight. You owe us money. So
Bud Crawford seems to be standing up for those guys
(41:57):
who don't have as much to part with, saying, these guys,
other sanctioning bodies don't charge these fees. The WBC does,
and it's wrong. And you know he's probably right, but
that's an excellent stand to take before you sign the
contracts and agree to the fights and the terms. Terrence, buddy,
(42:23):
honor your commitments. You've made your stand, he said, I
don't care if you take my belt. It's a trophy.
I don't need it. I know that, I know that
I earned it, so you're gonna So I won this
tournament and I got a trophy for it. I got
a bowling trophy here, and you guys come in there
and go no taking the bowling trophy. Fine, I still
(42:44):
know that I won the Thursday Night Bowling League over
at Brunswick. He didn't say any of that, but he
in terms some of us old fat guys might be
able to relate to, Yeah, if I go out there
and I win the Thursday Night Bowling League at Brunswick
or Western Bowl, then still they took the trophy. If
(43:05):
you lose the trophy, did you not win it? Whether
you lose it because he misplace it, someone steals it
from you, or you didn't pay the fee for it,
you still earned it. Right If you win with Lucy
when you win your next Super Bowl ring, yeah, and
you lose the ring, yeah you still won the Super
Bowl again.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Because I didn't. I wouldn't, but he did. He did win.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Lucy was part of There are a lot of huskers
on those Super Bowl winning teams that the forty nine
ers had in the eighties. You had Roger Craig, you
had Tom Rathman, you had Dug Dabos, you had Lucy Chapman.
It was stacked. Montana's like, what do I do with
the ball? I mean, there's so many options. People give
Joe Montana too much credit. It was all those huskers.
(43:50):
So Lucy won a lot of Super Bowl titles and
she'll win another one. Now what was I said? Oh? Yeah,
so you lose, you lose your new or just give
it away because you already have so many. Then you
you still earned it. Bud Crawford earned this. Some pencil
pusher is gonna take it away, and that's crud. Pardon
(44:11):
my language, but crud. That's super crud. But he should
still honor this commitment. It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
You agreed, But that's that was my question. Did he
know about this? Did he knowingly go into this fike
knowing he was gonna have to pay what two point
three or six percent or whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, I don't know, but it seems to me that
the agreement was made and it should be anywhere it
should be honored. Lucy's calling attention to things happening in
and around the studio. Now you want to call attention
to distractions. We've got a guy out here hammering away
at the coffee bar. You know. We had a couple
(44:53):
other things that happened of a criminal element in this
town that popped up in the news yesterday. One maybe
you've seen as you're driving around town, we'll get to
both of these next. Scott Voice News Radio eleven to
ten KFAB. He also had a guy we learned about yesterday,
but this happened a while back. Here. Guy was hanging
(45:16):
out at a laundromat near sixtieth and Ames. He's seen
on video, and I'm so glad they have surveillance video
at the laundromats stealing someone's laundry or waiting until the
washing machine ends or even the dryer ends, and the
person doesn't immediately start removing the clothes. You're like, sorry,
(45:39):
I need the machine. And you take all their especially
their dry clean clothes out and you just throw them
on the floor on top of another machine. These people
should be shot. They got surveillance video at the laundromat.
Guy's looking at his phone, he's looking at the area
he's looking at. Apparently there's it, says, a gaming machine.
(46:05):
This has become more and more of a thing.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Oh like a slot machine, like a well.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Like a like a video poker kind of a thing.
I don't know if it's technically video poker, but they've
got these video gaming like casino game machines. You're at
the waiting room, waiting for your car to be fixed,
your windshield to be repaired, your laundry to be done,
and these these business owners. You get approached by all
these guys. It's not vending machines, Like, hey, you want
(46:31):
someone to buy hot Tomali's what they're waiting here. We
got vending machines. No, these are like video gaming machines. Hey,
they're gonna be in here, sitting here anyway. Let them
put a couple of bucks in here if they want,
and you get a couple of bucks in the side.
The business owners are like, why not have expanded gambling
even though the state of Nebraska is generally I thought
frowned on that kind of thing, But why not? You know,
(46:53):
he went from the casinos to the bars to your
local laundromat. Hey, I try to be an adult. I
don't really have a big thought on it. I think
it looks Takio wouldn't do it in my business, but
hey whatever, not speaking down on gaming, but there's a
place for that. It's weird. So the laundromat is now,
it says, mostly empty. The story from k E TV
(47:15):
News Watch seven. The guy then pulls an electric saw
out of his pants or was he just happy his
laundry was done well, I mean he.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Was at the laundromat, so he probably needed to wash
his clothes.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Puld an electric saw out of his pants and he
cut open the front of the gaming machine, allowing him
to access the cash box, which he removed. He took
his saw, and he took his clothes, and he quickly
left the scene. The gaming company says it costs about
five thousand dollars in damage to the machine and stole
(47:55):
more than eleven thousand dollars from the cash box. One machine,
one machine at the one launderyman. I don't know how
often they empty that thing. That's a that's a haul.
You're not that's not your money. You shouldn't do that.
But now they're looking for him, and they say, well,
we don't think he has an address. We think he
(48:16):
mostly stays at a homeless shelter. Guy's got an electric saw,
a phone.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Where is he charging these things?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
He's probably not spend any time at the homeless shelter. Now,
he's probably at the Four Seasons, the Omaha, the Waldorf
Astoria Omaha, sorry, waldorf Astoria, Council Bluffs, and so he's
probably gonna spend a couple of nights over there, and
then they'll catch him. But yeah, what what did? What?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Questions you ask, where's he charging this stuff? Well, probably
Londer Mats.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
Yeah, probably at the launder man.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
And so when he charged the saw that he used
to break into their machines, he charged it there.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
I know, you don't know, insult to injury, to theft. Yeah,
and then this is a major crime. You're in Omaha.
I don't know where. Can I see where this is?
This looks like it's on El Street from it might
be on I can't tell what that business is this
(49:14):
is either. I think it's I eighty because it's got
the concrete barricade going down there. But it turns out
there is a new billboard here in town touting the
fact that Isaac Jensen, quarterback from Millard South, Sorry, receiver
Jim Rose is here in the studio. Thank you, Jim.
Isaac Jensen's a receiver with that's right, because the quarterback
(49:38):
went to Bama. This receiver went to Missouri, which I
know because there's a billboard showing his face and a
lot of brightly lit colors. So you don't miss it,
says Isaac Jensen to Missou and it shows him wearing
a Missouri jersey. And the people who bought this billboard
and put it here in Huskernation the University of Missouri. Man,
(50:02):
I wish we still played them. That is so funny.
It's just brutal. Though yesterday signing Day, high school athletes
across the nation made their initial of what will probably
be forty commitments to forty different schools. And that's just
in the next few months. But right now Miller South
(50:23):
Isaac Jensen is going to Missouri, and Missouri decided to
put a billboard here in his hometown, Husker Nation and
say we got your boy. Well played Missouri. Jerk moved,
but I have to admit well played. Scott Boys Mornings
nine to eleven, Our News Radio eleven ten KFAB
Scott VORDIEZ horrible story here in Omaha that could have
been so much worse. And I do want to take
a moment to incredibly sarcastically say to those of you
who say, no, no, we don't need police officers need
to be defunded, defund the police, and we certainly don't
need things like no knock search warrants or anything like that.
(00:22):
You know, what if someone is behaving poorly and you
know they're in a building, a business with people around,
just I don't know, follow them home or wait for
him to just send them a text message. We probably
have their phone numbers somewhere, send them a text and say, hey,
you shouldn't have done that, so come on out with
your hands up and everything will be fine. We wouldn't
(00:45):
want officers to be able to get the jump on
a suspect not knowing that cops were coming down. We
want to announce loudly, hey, we know you're in the
bathroom here at this gas station, and we know that
you have a gun and you've already shot someone as
recently is like two hours ago, so we're giving you
time to reload and take up a tactical position and
(01:07):
try and take out cops. Do you hear that you
get all that? Let us know that you're okay with that,
because that's what happened yesterday. We could have had three
police officers killed as well as civilians getting big gulps
and everything else beef jerky gasoline at a gas station.
(01:27):
And I'm sure that there are a number of people,
a bunch of cop hating people who were very upset
that these officers weren't more badly injured or even killed.
Is there are a lot of people that think, well,
you know, hey, sometimes that happens to them. So to you,
I sarcastically say, ah, man, that had to have been
rough for you not to have these officers killed, for
(01:50):
them to be we had three officers, two shot, one
injured by shrapnel during the shootout. That officer who was
hit by shrapnel has already been discharged from the hospital.
These are gang unit guys. If you're not familiar with
our timeline, yesterday Northeast Omaha, just afternoon at the big
(02:14):
grocery store area there at like thirty second and Ames,
Northeast Omaha. That's where a guy was shot and shot
and shot man was critically injured in the shooting. The
police were able to get through I don't know, surveillance
or witness accounts, the description on the vehicle. They even
(02:37):
got the license plates from some information, and they were
able to track the vehicle down a few hours later.
Now it is well south of there, at a gas
station near thirty third and L Streets. This guy's just
heading up and down the thirty second Street corridor, which
technically doesn't exist. But go with me on this. Now,
(03:00):
he's at thirty third and L gas station. There a
couple of restaurants and for you know, threes or so
in the afternoon, a pretty busy place in that part
of town. So the guy goes in and goes into
the restroom, as I understand it, and I this could
(03:24):
very well be wrong, but we're getting more details out now.
But it seemed to me that when I got the
details from the Omaha Police Department last night, and I'm
gonna see if I can pull up that dispatch right
now so I can reread it in case I'm wrong,
But it seems to me that when the man went
into the bathroom, it wasn't to go hide from the cops.
(03:46):
It seems to me he did not know he was
under surveillance at the time. Let me read this directly
from the Omaha Police Department. Officers with the OPD Assault
and Gang Units located the suspect vehicle in the area
of thirty eighth and Harrison. Surveillance was established. Detectives followed
(04:06):
the car to the gas station at thirty second and
l The suspect exited his car and went into the
QT the Quick Trip gas station, and then entered the
men's bathroom. So detectives followed the car. It's not described
as a pursuit, a chase, officers with their lights on
or anything, or even in a marked car. This guy
(04:29):
didn't know that police were tailing him. This would have
been an excellent opportunity to go in there and get
the jump on the guy. Now you know what would
have happened then, right, if this suspect was just gun happy,
trigger happy, finger on the trigger, ready to go, and
suddenly anyone that comes through that door looking like a cop,
(04:50):
suddenly here come the bullets, and someone just a guy
in there buying Grandma's cookies or little Chocolate donuts or
something get shot. And then everyone's like, well, these cops
shouldn't have acted like that and go in there all
military style, all raging with their masculinity and testosterone toxic
(05:12):
cop behavior. This is what gets people killed. So what
people gets people get shot. These officers, what they should
have done was they should have quietly gotten everyone out
of the store and out of the entire area and
then said, hey, when you're done, go ahead, wash your
hands and then come on out and we'll cuff those
washed hands. And the officer who would have went, dude,
(05:34):
all right, the jig is up. I had a good run,
you know, because all these people think that you can
shoot a gun out of a suspect's hand, and any
suspect who knows he's been cornered and has no other
alternative turns himself in nobly like an episode of Colombo.
How'd you know, lieutenant? So none of that happens in
(05:57):
real life. But the officers, and I don't know if
it was directive policy and abundance of caution, I don't know.
I don't know why they didn't go in there. I
don't know why a plain clothes detective didn't go in there,
just in there wearing just a big gold parka some jeans.
(06:19):
Cold day yesterday, yesterday afternoon, very blustery, windy, cold day.
He's got a gun all bundled up and underneath his
big jacket, big coat, a whole bunch of guns and
body camera and all the rest of this stuff. And
when it was safe to do so, you either tackle
(06:39):
or put a pull a gun or both on this guy.
And that's when the officers go in there. Why in
the world, And I hope that our good friend and
fantastic police Chief Todd Schmater and the coolest mayor Johnny
when he had a T shirt wore it on Facebook,
(06:59):
take look at this situation and if there's if there
has been any capitulation to anti cop activists who will
never be happy with anything cops do as long as
they're cops. So this whole idea of you know, no
knock search warrants and what if someone get shot and
all the rest of this stuff. I know, I'm Thursday
(07:21):
Morning quarterbacking this one. But these guys are the experts,
marrying years of law enforcement in his background. Tach modern
years of being Omaha police chief, had been and had
served our community in law enforcement for years before that.
These guys know law enforcement much better than I do.
(07:45):
But I also know there's a lot of stress on
political pressure on this department, on law enforcement in general,
and why the decision was made to when they had
this guy in the bathroom and they couldn't see him.
They don't have windows into the bathroom, you know, couldn't
see him, didn't know what he was doing in there,
and suddenly they just knock on the door. How long
(08:06):
are you gonna be where the cops? We know you
already shot someone a couple of hours ago. Come on out,
wash your hands, come on out. Why didn't they send
a plane clothes in there and get the drop on
the guy, and then they're like okay, and then all
the like every cop from here to Timbuctoo rushes in
(08:27):
there and they take the guy into custody. I don't
understand why they're out there. It says officers entered the
gas station once other detectives a ride to assist. They
attempted to call the suspect out of the bathroom, and
that's where the initial was described as exchange of gunfire occurred.
(08:49):
I can't imagine our police officers fired first unless they
had they noticed that the guy already had the gun.
I don't know about like if the guy tried to
shoot through a door or whatever. This is the gas
station bathroom door, big heavy metal door. In most instances,
you said.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That they made verbal contact with him, yes, but had
not come out.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I hey, I'll tell you what it says. Okay, the
guy goes into the bathroom. Officers were there, they got
some assistance, and now he's still in the bathroom. They
attempted to call the suspect out of the bathroom and
an initial exchange of gunfire occurred. That's where the first
officer was struck by gunfire. So then if he.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Was the one struck by shrapnel, then that couldn't be
get the guy shot through the door.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Noh, they says. One officer was struck. At this time,
officers retreated outside the main bathroom door and tactically positioned
themselves again calling the suspect out. The suspect then exits
the bathroom and opens fire, injuring another officer with gunfire.
(10:04):
Officers return fire. They kill the suspect and a third
officer was injured by shrapnel during this second encounter. Also
in the midst of this, there's a customer in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
In the bathroom. Yeah with him, yes, annoyingly well at
that point.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, and wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Those are usually only for no it's a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This is a quick trip, quick trip, good bathrooms, good
clean convenience store. I've always liked quick trip.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I need to go to better bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You can't go wrong stopping at a quick trip for
getting a few snacks, beverages, gassing up in a bathroom solid.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
To another.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So there there is a guy in there. It's probably
two three doll's, couple of arnal's, and and so I
don't know where the other suspect was. I don't know
if he was in stall, standing here washing up. Maybe
he was a bathroom attendant. Would you like a mint, sir?
I don't think they. I mean the quick trip bathrooms
(11:17):
are nice, They're not that nice. So the other guy's
in there, whatever he's doing, I'll put it this way.
Once the exchange of gunfire started, if he wasn't doing
it before he was, then do you catch my drift?
So this guy is in the bathroom, and I, honestly
I don't want to be glib about this. I do
(11:38):
try and looking at a story, put myself in everyone's
shoes in a situation. Can you imagine being that guy?
You're there in the restroom. It's what did this happened at?
I don't know two three o'clock yesterday afternoon we started
getting the details. I think that was around three. But
(12:00):
so here at mid afternoon, I don't know if he's
knocking off work for the day or he's like, hey,
i gotta go pick up my kids at school. I'm
gonna pop in here. And I don't know how mundane
his Wednesday afternoon was to that point, but it suddenly
took a turn and a story he'll be telling everyone
about and people will say, hey, tell us the story
(12:23):
again about the time that all this happened, and he
was probably thinking, this guy is just firing away at cops.
Cops are understandably shooting back. I'm gonna die in here.
And so now the first exchange of gunfire happens, an
(12:45):
officer is hit, and the officers are now trying to
get the guy out of the bathroom again. I don't know,
we don't back in. Oh yeah, he was still in there.
That was his tactical position. Okay, So I don't know
who let it be known that there's a customer in there.
I don't know if the guy was like, I've got
(13:06):
hostages or whatever, or the officers note. I don't know.
The only detail we have right now is there was
one civilian inside the bathroom at the time of the
first volley of gunfire. He was safely called out before
the second encounter with the suspect. So as bad as
(13:29):
this gunman was in the bathroom, at least he wasn't
a civilian killing maniac, because this could have gotten really,
really bad.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
But he shot another guy who was a civilian.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'll put it this way. I'm connecting dots here. This
is an assumption a gang unit was called. One guy
was shot, probably targeted earlier in the day in northeast
I don't think that was just well, I'm gonna shoot
someone today, Sorry, bub you're the guy. I think he
(14:08):
was probably targeted, not to say justified. I am saying targeted.
Probably gang unit suggests gang warfare. The guy in the
bathroom is just some poor s ob South Omaha boy.
This happened in South Omaha. And if this gunman were
an absolute craze murdering maniac, like indiscriminately, you know, then
(14:32):
this this guy could have died in that bathroom. Cops
are like, let's get that guy out of there. What
did that look like, gunman did? The customer comes out
of the stall, looks in the eyes of the gunman.
Gunman's like, go, if that, if that happened, that is
the last and maybe only noble thing this criminal did
(14:54):
in his entire life, and thank God for that. Obviously,
what happened next not at all noble. Now they got
the customer out of there, he's probably still running. I
just want to get as far away from this situation
as possible. And then the second exchange, gunfire happens. I
(15:17):
don't know why this guy thought like, I'm gonna Butch
Cassidy my way out of here. By the way, that
didn't end very well for Butch. And so the guy's
dead and you've got three officers injured, two shot, one
hit by shrapnel. Here's the great news on this. It
was reported by both the mayor and the chief. They
(15:37):
visited with the officers at the hospital and said they
were in good spirits. That's great. A non life threatening
gunshot wound sounds great. When it happens to somebody else,
you don't want to be the person and have someone say, well,
the good news is it's a non life threatening gunshot wound.
You don't want any gunshot wound. These officers, especially after
(16:02):
the first cop was hit, knew the danger and they
stood there to protect the citizens anyway, because that's what
they do. And Mayor Ewing said as much. He said, quote,
I want to commend the Omaha Police officers for the
great police work and the bravery they showed at getting
a plate license plate and following up on that and
(16:24):
doing what was necessary to try to be able to
complete and arrest unquote. Quick Trip even issued a statement
because it was noted yesterday this is the second time
an officer has been hit by a suspect, shot by
a suspect while an apprehension was attempt to be made
at a quick trip. Different quick trip. We don't have
(16:44):
enough quick trips in our community. I'm giving them special
love today. One because when I lived in Kansas City,
I was a customer of a bank that had all
of the ATMs in all the quick trips in Kansas City,
so you wouldn't have to pay like this. ATM charges
you two dollars to get your money out. Note not
at quick trip. When I was in Kansas City with
(17:05):
umb Bank, so I've always appreciated QT for that. I'm
giving them extra love because for them, they're like, hey,
we're on the news again, and here's a reporter standing
there in a cold, blustery day, hair not even being touched.
Newscaster hair, news reporter hair doesn't even move in the wind.
And behind all the sirens of the police tape there's
(17:27):
a Quick Trip gas station and they're like, come on,
you had the one here recently at one hundred and
twenty if Ish and Dodge, and then this one yesterday
thirty second and l so. Quick Trip issued a statement
and said, our top priority is always the safety of
our employees and customers. We are working closely with the
Omaha Police Department to assist with this ongoing investigation into
(17:50):
an enforcement action at one of our Omaha locations that
resulted an officers being injured. Our thoughts are with the
officers and their families as they recover. We greatly appreciate
our partnership with the Omaha Police Department and its continued
efforts to keep our employees and customers safe. We will
continue to take necessary and appropriate measures to ensure the
safety and well being of our employees, customers and communities
(18:13):
we serve, unquote appreciate that statement. They didn't try and
tiptoe around like, hey, we're not telling the cops nothing
if you're if you're in our community and you want
to use the bathroom, we don't snitch. You know, they
didn't do. They said, we appreciate our partnership with the
Omaha Police Department. Solid. So the guy's dead, the officers
(18:40):
are recovering, one's already out discharged from the hospital. That
was That could have been a much worse situation. I
hope that all of it leads to Okay, should this
happen again in the future, why would we loudly announce
our presence to a guy we know is hold up
(19:01):
in a confined space, maybe with customers inside, with a
gun he has already used as recently as noon today.
I would have preferred be done differently, but unless that
sounds infuriating and small minded for me to say so,
but I imagine the officers also would have preferred that
this has been done in a different way too. Scott
(19:24):
News Radio eleven ten KFAB got an email from Michelle says,
all right, the shooting at the gas station was the
bathroom on the inside of the building. Yes, I am
an aficionado of convenience stores, and I know who's got
what where, and a quick trip, as I mentioned good
(19:45):
bathrooms spent countless hours. I don't know. I yeah, they're
in They're inside the store. It's a large convenience store area.
The bathrooms are inside, probably back left.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I want to know how you have enough knowledge to
be able to compare convenience store bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You tell me, give me a location of any any
point in the area. I'll tell you the best place,
and I'll answer this question for you, because as a guy, clearly,
I mean, if you've ever how do I put this delicately,
if you've ever been in a men's room, you know
that not everyone takes great care in serving humanity with
(20:34):
what apparently goes on in there. And I didn't really
care too much when I was just a single, swinging guy,
but then I had kids, and then I had a
girl child, and occasionally you're off with your daughter and
you're like, Daddy, I gotta go to the bathroom. Okay,
Well I can't send this little kid into the ladies
(20:56):
room all by herself. So she goes into the men's room,
and that's when I realize, oh no, this place is
the worst place ever, every one of them. And so
that's when you start kind of getting an idea in
your head, like, all right, if she says she has
to go, this is the kind of place I want
to take you. Ever see those billboards on the side
of the interstate with the lady doing the two thumbs
(21:18):
up and it says mom approved bathrooms. I don't think
I have parents. Know when you get especially dad's when
you got to take a little girl into the men's room,
they're like, okay, even a little boy. The little boys
are like, all right, I touch everything. No, don't touch anything.
So I know where the clean restrooms are.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Eighty fourth and Center.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Well, if you're an eighty fourth and Center, I would probably.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Now see, you're just going to make another business feel bad.
I wouldn't do this.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm fine with this eighty fourth and Center. I would
go into the Cinema Center or the Gemini Movie Theater
or shop co.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
All right, okay, right, they're.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
All still there. I are all still there. Just pop
into the cinema center, get some popcorn and.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Pinkies.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Sorry, now, that's an eighty fourth and park drive.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And then as far as I mentioned the quick trip
in their statement in favor of law enforcement, Ryan says,
they give free coffee to law enforcement. It's a great policy,
trying to give them some extra love since we had
two officers shot in separate incidents, both at different quick
trip gas stations and quick trips like we we are
(22:40):
here to serve the public in many other ways. Don't
think of us like this. Please the other big local story.
I saw a lot of really interesting reaction to this
on social media, people reposting the story the news and
saying some variation of how could he do this to us?
(23:01):
What an embarrassment for the city of Omaha. We give
him this big parade and bail him out of jail
and Mayor Ewing has the worst day of his life
because of him, and then he doesn't pay for his
boxing title. We always wondered when Terrence Bud Crawford was
(23:22):
going to lose his first fight, who was going to
be able to beat him? As it turns out, Joe
in accounting with the World Boxing Committee the WBC.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm sure there is a perfectly acceptable explanation.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Willie in accounting took to some guy, some pencil necked
geek sitting at a computer. He still hasn't paid. Well,
do we tell him he needs to pay? We told him,
We told his people, told his manager, told his legal counsel.
He didn't pay. All right, take away his belt. I
(24:01):
think he still has the belt, like he's still in
possession of the physical belt. But suddenly they said that
belt suddenly means nothing. So here's what they still. Here's
what they said. His super middleweight title, he failed Bud
Crawford Pride, Almaha, Nebraska, failed to pay sanctioned fees after
(24:24):
his last two fights against Israel Madramoff and this last
one here where he took he he defeated Canelo Alvarez
and got that title, earned fifty million dollars for that
Alvarez fight alone. And as I heard here on news
radio eleven ten kfab and a Jim Rose sports update
(24:46):
this morning, apparently the World Boxing Committee takes a percentage
of whatever the boxers get, and that which is zero
point six percent of how much is made, the boxer
is supposed to give back point six percent and that
money goes into kind of a pension fund. For boxers
(25:07):
and their families, because not every boxer through the years
has come up there and made fifty million dollars for
a fight. There's a lot of old guys sitting there
still they got calliflower ear, and they still can't see
out their left eye, and they've got nothing like, Hey,
I'm interested in the job here, what are your skills? Well,
I punch people, sir. This is a dentist's office, you know.
(25:30):
So it's it's a pension fund for these guys who
came up risking their lives getting hardly anything for it
other than broken noses.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
We should start a pension fund for radio people.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, this is much the same thing. It will start
a pension.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Fun ears through my headphones, Yeah, we'll start.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
A pension fund. The problem with the pension is you
need more people painting into the funds than those who
would be receiving it. And with all the people laid
off and fired in this industry, like twelve radio people
trying to pay a pension for twelve hundred taxpayers. Yeah,
this isn't gonna this is I'm declaring the fund insolvent. Okay,
(26:12):
By the way, what's point six percent of free coffee
So Bud Crawford makes fifty million dollars for this fight,
he is supposed to pay about two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars. Is that all a lot of Well, yeah,
it's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Out of fifty million.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But it's when you compare it against fifty million.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
What buddy, he has to pay taxes on the fifty million,
and I think they're at a higher rate when you
quote unquote win them.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Right, Bud Crawford, you see him, Walmart Greeter, he'll tell
take any job he can get. This guy's destitute. So
I'll say this, Bud Crawford doesn't manage his own money.
At no point was Bud Crawford like, hey, let's take
a look at the paperwork and let's figure this out.
(26:59):
He's got people and based on the quality of the
people around him, which as I said at the night
after his celebratory parade here in Omaha, had the big
party and then was speeding in the streets of downtown Omaha,
gun visible in the car and the officers are like,
(27:20):
step out of the car, let's figure this out. It
really wasn't all that big a deal, but a lot
of people turn it into a big deal. And some
of those people were those on the Bud Crawford team
who are saying, I'm I'm calling the mayor. How dare
these officers are unjustified in their actions? Yes, pulling a
car over late at night with a bunch of people
(27:41):
they don't know, guns visible in the vehicle, people in
the back seat they can't see. Let's get everyone out
and figure this out. This all went exactly how it
was supposed to. But there were some people who're just like,
I don't know, how come I can't speed one hundred
miles per hour in a twenty five mile per hour
zone and have gun in the car and not be
hassled by the cops. That was some of his some
(28:03):
of Bud Crawford's people saying that now those are bodyguard people.
I hope they're not also the ones handling the books.
I provide security and accounting for the champ. That's probably
not the right thing. Domination has skill sets. So who
are his people and why didn't his people pay this?
(28:25):
Did they think? And this is what I would think
as well? Like, okay, so everyone already knew whatever my
take is from the fight, I got to pay this
percentage to this pension fund. Why wasn't that deducted before
I was issued payment? Are you sure it wasn't So,
I don't know. I do know this. The the people
(28:52):
who from the World Boxing Committee that told the champ
and his people apparently after two like you guys do
need to pay this fee?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He disappeared. Apparently my kid.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Not Yeah, not getting back to them was the wrong
course of action, what I And then they said, all right,
because we didn't even receive so much as an up
yours on the receipt or any response in these communications,
then we have no choice but to consider Champion Crawford
(29:29):
had received ample notification, multiple opportunities to address and resolve
the situation. Because he hasn't. They have vacated his super
middleweight title belt, and they said, all right, and the
belt's vacant. Hamza shahiz Or Shiraz will fight for the
vacant title against Christian BILLI.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Does he have to send it to him? They probably
pay postage.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They'd probably make another belt.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I don't know, But so this belt is going to
end up on pawn Stars at about forty years as
the belt that was taken back.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Right there next to Reggie Bush's vacated Heisman Trophy. But
like the Reggie Bush situation, I believe what happens next
is suddenly Bud Crawford is people like Bud's probably calls
people going gentlemen, exactly what the hell is this? I
(30:25):
don't know if he knew anything about all this. I'll
give him the benefit of the doubt. Bud Crawford's job
is to punch people hard and then train for the
next time he needs to punch people even harder. So
Bud Crawford's probably not in there taking a look at
Hey give me those spreadsheets, but can you put them
in an Excel spreadsheet for me? It's just easier for
(30:46):
me to read. I don't think I'll get him the
benefit of the doubt. He didn't know anything about this,
so now he either is directing his team or getting
a whole new team to then put a legal stay
on this decision until such time as the situation is
figured out, either through payment rendered or some sort of
(31:07):
negotiation which would then allow I would hope Bud Crawford
to retain this title, whether it does or doesn't. Though
Bud Crawford is the super middleweight title holder the only
one to have three belts in these different classifications at
the same time. He is the undisputed undefeated, not even
(31:29):
so much as knocked down boxing champion, best boxer of
all time, arguable bad with paperwork, probably bad with picking
a team. Like a lot of other athletes. They are like, hey,
all my good friends and a bunch of guys I
just knew in their cousins, Hey, you're all in charge.
(31:50):
Probably an awful idea, but whatever ends up happening with
the paperwork aspect of this, Bud Crawford is the champ.
They can take away his title on paper, but Bud
Crawford is the champ. A couple of years ago, when
Gretna won that high school football championship and then they
vacated it because one kid on the team had a
(32:12):
paperwork dispute between two divorced parents as to who was
living in the district and what his home district was,
which all those rules are now at the window. Gretna
earned that football championship, You guys are the champs and
Class A for that year. Whatever. A couple of years ago,
a few years ago, and Reggie Bush won that Heisman,
and Pete Rose is in the Hall of Fame, so
(32:33):
they can do whatever they want on paper. Those things
are the facts Scott by all the people on social
media going what an embarrassment for Omaha, The Bud Crawfords
people didn't pay a thing, and it's not This is
not an embarrassment for Omaha. This is not shame on
the champ. This is a paper work issue and either
(32:54):
it'll be resolved to everyone's satisfaction or if it's not,
then I guess that's Bud Crawford's choice. He knows he
won this belt. He doesn't have anything else to prove
to anybody. So if he's like, I'm good, everyone knows it,
and I don't have to pay all this money now,
(33:17):
that would be an awful thing to do, because he
made a ton of money and he agreed that this
is going to go into this pension fund for these
boxers that paved the way before him, who need the
money more than he does. So all the people are
like Bud Craft, Hey, like Bud Crawford doesn't have anything
to apologize to anyone for, and he didn't let anyone down,
(33:37):
but for when you tell someone you're going to do something,
and these would be his people, not him again. His
job punch guys sock fools in face, that's his job.
He's got people that do the paperwork stuff, and those
people when they signed all the agreements, they're the ones
who said we will pay this money, we will assure
(34:01):
that payment is rendered, and then they didn't do it.
And these are Bud's people. His name's at the top
of this ticket. He needs to hold them accountable. That's
all paperwork stuff though, not boxing, not all the kids
looking up to him, not the hard scrabble story of
a guy coming up here on the main streets Omaha
and making something of himself and inspiring others to do
(34:22):
the same. So all the people are like he brought
shame on olmah. No, he didn't there. There were people
really driving home yesterday going Bud Crawford had a paperwork
issue with the WBC. What am I gonna tell my kids?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Do you think he's gonna make the guys that said
they were going to do it make them come up
with the money their own money.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well, I think either one of two things, other than
paying the thing and honoring your agreement, one of two
things should happen. Either his people should get in the
ring and fight out with the accountants of the WBCIX
my accountants against your accountants, battle Royal Trump Atlantic City.
(35:09):
So that's what should happen, or maybe it'll be maybe
Crawford's like, you know what, I'll just go in there
win that title again. So they took my belt away,
these two guys are gonna pay for it, and they're
gonna fight for it. One of them is gonna win,
and then I'll immediately schedule a fight and have that
guy wet himself for the next six months until we fight,
(35:30):
and I'll take the title again. I'll win it again.
So that could happen to We have a statement from
the champ and I wrote down what Bud Crawford said
in this video because I can't put it on the
radio because I'd say the champ is mad, frustrated, sounds
like he's taking a big stand against the World Boxing Committee.
(35:52):
So to reset this up, Crawford, according to the WBC,
failed to pay sanctioned fees after his last couple of
fights sanctioned by the World Boxing Committee not the only
sanctioning body in boxing. But these guys have a sanctioning fee.
They say it goes into a pension to help other
retired boxers and their families. And it's only zero point
(36:14):
six percent of the fifty million dollars you made, can't
you part with about three hundred and so, Bud Crawford says,
Actually it's about four hundred. Between these last couple of fights.
He says, they say I owe him four hundred thousand
dollars and that I need to apologize. Now here's as
Bud Crawford's filming this video. Once again. This is the
(36:37):
same man who, after a celebratory parade and birthday party
here in Omaha, was arrested, well, was temporarily detained and
ticketed by Omaha police for speeding and reckless driving downtown
while having a gun on the floor of the vehicle.
(36:57):
So Bud Crawford already probably not opening the Terrence Bud
Crawford school of driving here in Omaha. Now he's released
a video on his Instagram page which is him filming
himself as he's driving and looking at the camera. At
least it looks like he's driving. I mean, I'm watching
(37:20):
this and I see him turn the wheel. I can't
really tell. Maybe he's a passenger. Actually, you know what,
as I look at the angle on the video, he's
a passenger. Okay, I detract my snarky comments about his driving.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
This is a first.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, No he that night.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
No your snarky comments being detracted.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
No, I detract the snarkiness when called for when I
realize my mistake. In fact, Ben Gray yells at me.
If I don't, it does look like Bud Crawford is
the passenger in the vehicle on this I did, councilman,
we miss Ben Gray. So Crawford does the video and
(38:04):
his statement here as to whether he knew that his
team didn't pay these fees and whether he feels sorry
about it or whether he'll pay is a very nuanced statement. Lucy.
I'm going to read and put in some extra words
or different words for replacement words for some of that
which he said. And I'll tell you what he said.
(38:26):
You tell me. You try and figure out and parse
these words. Okay, see what he thinks about it, all right.
He said that the guys of the World Boxing Committee
were talking a bunch of stuff and that they're calling
on him to apologize. He says, quote, who the blank
you think I am? You better slap your blanking self
I ain't paying your rear end spit unquote, which would
(38:51):
you like me to There's so many interpretations of the
statement slap your mama. No, you better slap yourself. You
better slap your blanking self.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Oh, because they were slapping him with some kind of well, yeah,
slap yourself. It's that's that's a throwback or a comeback. Yes,
so they must have said something about that. I think
he was telling them to slap their mama.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
No, he wants them to slap themselves. So I ain't
paying your rear and spit. So what do we think?
Do we think he's.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Gonna pay I'm gonna go out on a limb.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Do you think he's sorry about this?
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
He then goes on to a long rant about how
other boxing sanctioning bodies don't charge these fees. So why
does the WBC think that they're owed some of the
money that I made going in there? Why risking my
pretty face?
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Why is he surprised? There's no way he did this
without knowing, without knowing that there were going to be fees.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Look, look are you looking?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I get where Bud Crawford's coming from. Again, there are
a lot of people that want to sign a lot
of Hey, people look up to you. You need to
probably not use language like this, and you need to
honor your commitments and all that stuff. Again, let's look
at who Bud Crawford is. He is a boxer. He
is not the pastor at your church. He's not the
(40:29):
congressman for your district. He's not dating your daughter and
asking you for her hand in marriage. He is a boxer.
His job is to sock fools in the face. When
not hitting them about the midsection, his job is to
(40:50):
punch people. And when he's not punching people, he is
training for the purpose of punching people. So maybe he's
a little rough around the edges. This guy willingly takes
shots to the face to earn a living and he's
very very good at it, maybe the best ever. So
people are like the language from the Again, he is
(41:11):
a boxer. So is he standing up for other boxers
who don't make fifty million dollars for a fight? You know,
we always have the undercar and we got these two
guys fighting. And then next Friday night and at this place,
the WBC is sanctioning a couple guys that no one's
ever heard of. They're going to go out there and
fight each other and you're risking you're risking your long
(41:35):
term health. I mean, you get enough blows to the head,
you have a hard time seeing straight the rest of
your life. You're seeing ghosts the rest of your life.
That's what these guys do. And then WBC says, hey,
we we sanctioned that fight. You owe us money. So
Bud Crawford seems to be standing up for those guys
(41:57):
who don't have as much to part with, saying, these guys,
other sanctioning bodies don't charge these fees. The WBC does,
and it's wrong. And you know he's probably right, but
that's an excellent stand to take before you sign the
contracts and agree to the fights and the terms. Terrence, buddy,
(42:23):
honor your commitments. You've made your stand, he said, I
don't care if you take my belt. It's a trophy.
I don't need it. I know that, I know that
I earned it, so you're gonna So I won this
tournament and I got a trophy for it. I got
a bowling trophy here, and you guys come in there
and go no taking the bowling trophy. Fine, I still
(42:44):
know that I won the Thursday Night Bowling League over
at Brunswick. He didn't say any of that, but he
in terms some of us old fat guys might be
able to relate to, Yeah, if I go out there
and I win the Thursday Night Bowling League at Brunswick
or Western Bowl, then still they took the trophy. If
(43:05):
you lose the trophy, did you not win it? Whether
you lose it because he misplace it, someone steals it
from you, or you didn't pay the fee for it,
you still earned it. Right If you win with Lucy
when you win your next Super Bowl ring, yeah, and
you lose the ring, yeah you still won the Super
Bowl again.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Because I didn't. I wouldn't, but he did. He did win.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Lucy was part of There are a lot of huskers
on those Super Bowl winning teams that the forty nine
ers had in the eighties. You had Roger Craig, you
had Tom Rathman, you had Dug Dabos, you had Lucy Chapman.
It was stacked. Montana's like, what do I do with
the ball? I mean, there's so many options. People give
Joe Montana too much credit. It was all those huskers.
(43:50):
So Lucy won a lot of Super Bowl titles and
she'll win another one. Now what was I said? Oh? Yeah,
so you lose, you lose your new or just give
it away because you already have so many. Then you
you still earned it. Bud Crawford earned this. Some pencil
pusher is gonna take it away, and that's crud. Pardon
(44:11):
my language, but crud. That's super crud. But he should
still honor this commitment. It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
You agreed, But that's that was my question. Did he
know about this? Did he knowingly go into this fike
knowing he was gonna have to pay what two point
three or six percent or whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, I don't know, but it seems to me that
the agreement was made and it should be anywhere it
should be honored. Lucy's calling attention to things happening in
and around the studio. Now you want to call attention
to distractions. We've got a guy out here hammering away
at the coffee bar. You know. We had a couple
(44:53):
other things that happened of a criminal element in this
town that popped up in the news yesterday. One maybe
you've seen as you're driving around town, we'll get to
both of these next. Scott Voice News Radio eleven to
ten KFAB. He also had a guy we learned about yesterday,
but this happened a while back. Here. Guy was hanging
(45:16):
out at a laundromat near sixtieth and Ames. He's seen
on video, and I'm so glad they have surveillance video
at the laundromats stealing someone's laundry or waiting until the
washing machine ends or even the dryer ends, and the
person doesn't immediately start removing the clothes. You're like, sorry,
(45:39):
I need the machine. And you take all their especially
their dry clean clothes out and you just throw them
on the floor on top of another machine. These people
should be shot. They got surveillance video at the laundromat.
Guy's looking at his phone, he's looking at the area
he's looking at. Apparently there's it, says, a gaming machine.
(46:05):
This has become more and more of a thing.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Oh like a slot machine, like a well.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Like a like a video poker kind of a thing.
I don't know if it's technically video poker, but they've
got these video gaming like casino game machines. You're at
the waiting room, waiting for your car to be fixed,
your windshield to be repaired, your laundry to be done,
and these these business owners. You get approached by all
these guys. It's not vending machines, Like, hey, you want
(46:31):
someone to buy hot Tomali's what they're waiting here. We
got vending machines. No, these are like video gaming machines. Hey,
they're gonna be in here, sitting here anyway. Let them
put a couple of bucks in here if they want,
and you get a couple of bucks in the side.
The business owners are like, why not have expanded gambling
even though the state of Nebraska is generally I thought
frowned on that kind of thing, But why not? You know,
(46:53):
he went from the casinos to the bars to your
local laundromat. Hey, I try to be an adult. I
don't really have a big thought on it. I think
it looks Takio wouldn't do it in my business, but
hey whatever, not speaking down on gaming, but there's a
place for that. It's weird. So the laundromat is now,
it says, mostly empty. The story from k E TV
(47:15):
News Watch seven. The guy then pulls an electric saw
out of his pants or was he just happy his
laundry was done well, I mean he.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Was at the laundromat, so he probably needed to wash
his clothes.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Puld an electric saw out of his pants and he
cut open the front of the gaming machine, allowing him
to access the cash box, which he removed. He took
his saw, and he took his clothes, and he quickly
left the scene. The gaming company says it costs about
five thousand dollars in damage to the machine and stole
(47:55):
more than eleven thousand dollars from the cash box. One machine,
one machine at the one launderyman. I don't know how
often they empty that thing. That's a that's a haul.
You're not that's not your money. You shouldn't do that.
But now they're looking for him, and they say, well,
we don't think he has an address. We think he
(48:16):
mostly stays at a homeless shelter. Guy's got an electric saw,
a phone.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Where is he charging these things?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
He's probably not spend any time at the homeless shelter. Now,
he's probably at the Four Seasons, the Omaha, the Waldorf
Astoria Omaha, sorry, waldorf Astoria, Council Bluffs, and so he's
probably gonna spend a couple of nights over there, and
then they'll catch him. But yeah, what what did? What?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Questions you ask, where's he charging this stuff? Well, probably
Londer Mats.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
Yeah, probably at the launder man.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
And so when he charged the saw that he used
to break into their machines, he charged it there.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
I know, you don't know, insult to injury, to theft. Yeah,
and then this is a major crime. You're in Omaha.
I don't know where. Can I see where this is?
This looks like it's on El Street from it might
be on I can't tell what that business is this
(49:14):
is either. I think it's I eighty because it's got
the concrete barricade going down there. But it turns out
there is a new billboard here in town touting the
fact that Isaac Jensen, quarterback from Millard South, Sorry, receiver
Jim Rose is here in the studio. Thank you, Jim.
Isaac Jensen's a receiver with that's right, because the quarterback
(49:38):
went to Bama. This receiver went to Missouri, which I
know because there's a billboard showing his face and a
lot of brightly lit colors. So you don't miss it,
says Isaac Jensen to Missou and it shows him wearing
a Missouri jersey. And the people who bought this billboard
and put it here in Huskernation the University of Missouri. Man,
(50:02):
I wish we still played them. That is so funny.
It's just brutal. Though yesterday signing Day, high school athletes
across the nation made their initial of what will probably
be forty commitments to forty different schools. And that's just
in the next few months. But right now Miller South
(50:23):
Isaac Jensen is going to Missouri, and Missouri decided to
put a billboard here in his hometown, Husker Nation and
say we got your boy. Well played Missouri. Jerk moved,
but I have to admit well played. Scott Boys Mornings

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
