| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 166 in my podcast. Who's paying attention? |
| 0:22.9 | And I'll tell you right off, first week of January, first week of a new year. I can't keep up. |
| 0:29.4 | It's happening so fast. I got a laugh. I mean, it's unbelievable. So the first heinous crime of the year, horrible crime, unbelievable, were the four people in Chicago who trapped and beat the mentally challenged man. |
| 0:55.7 | The four suspects, Jordan Hill, Tisfaya Cooper, Tesfe Cooper, |
| 1:02.0 | Brittany Covington, and Tanisha Covington, |
| 1:05.5 | basically took this guy who they knew from an alternative school |
| 1:10.6 | and locked him in a room and beat him, |
| 1:12.7 | it was on Facebook lie. It's just horrible. They've been charged with hate crime, aggravated |

| 2:03.4 | I know that sounds ridiculous, |
| 2:08.5 | but honestly, it's how it goes. And we've seen it in the news before. If a black person does something, it represents all black people. If a Mexican does something, or especially now, |
| 2:12.6 | if an Arab does something, well, or a Muslim, then they're part of ISIS and they're all bad and blah, blah, |
| 2:18.6 | blah. |
| 2:18.8 | For a white person does it, well, he acted individually. |
| 2:21.9 | That's just how it goes. |
