Hi, it's the Lanzo Boden, and I want to welcome you to episode 233 of my podcast, who's paying attention.

This one, I simply got a call, is there any good news?

Man, what a week since Thanksgiving.

It's like we've taken just a beating.

I don't even know, I don't even know where to start with this.

So, well, let's get right into it, right? And this is honestly, this is in no particular order because there is just

a lot of bad news. So, uh, well, let's go with Thanksgiving Day. Okay, because, um, yeah, there was the

the fight at the Walmart in Lancaster, but there's always a fight at a Walmart. But more seriously,

um, 21 year old, a Manick Fitzgerald Bradford of Alabama was shot. Now, you probably heard about this. There was a shooting in a mall

in Alabama. A guy got shot, unfortunately, a 12-year-old girl also got shot, and the police came in,

and they saw this black man with a gun, they killed. And they said it was heroic effort

by the officers to kill the assailant and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Until the next day when they

actually found out the guy they killed wasn't the guy. It was a black guy with a gun. Now, he had

he illegally owned the gun. Alabama, I'm not sure what the carry rules are, but apparently he was

allowed to have the gun with him. And he may have even been the mythical good guy with a gun.

We don't know. And we'll never know because when the cops see a black guy with a gun,

they kill him. So it, you know, it's tragic and it's a shame. And I certainly don't in any way

blame the victim. But this is the truth. These laws, whether they be self-defense, stand your

ground, open carry, whatever you want to call it. These do not apply to

black people. These do not apply to people of color. You can't have a gun in, in public, whether it be

on display, concealed, whatever. If the cops see you with a gun, if they know you have a gun,

you're going down.
