Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.
Starting point is 00:01:29 And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches. All right, Sean Dean, please tell tell me why was i your donkey of the day well let's discuss uh donkey of the day for wednesday march 20th goes the two white former mississippi law enforcement officers who are members of a self-styled goon squad yes their names are hunter elward who was a 31 year old former mississippi sheriff's deputy and jeffrey
Starting point is 00:02:03 middleton a 46 year old former sheriff's deputy who federal prosecutors described as the ringleader of the goon squad. Now, I know some of y'all believe I'm a race baiter and you're saying to yourself now, why did you have to say the officers were white? Well, race play is a very important factor because these officers ran up in these people's house without a warrant, all because a neighbor reported that several black men were staying at a white woman's home and reported seeing suspicious behavior. I put suspicious in air quotes. Keep in mind, this is Mississippi, a state that didn't officially abolish slavery until February 7th, 2013. OK, simply because someone forgot to do the paperwork. True story. The state of Mississippi had never submitted the required documentation to ratify the 13th Amendment. So slavery didn't officially get abolished until February 7th, 2013. So in a state like that, OK, the suspicious, all right, suspicious behavior is simply all these black men living with a white woman. All right. That damn neighbor probably was thinking to himself, I got porn hub.
Starting point is 00:03:03 I know black gangbang hardcore when I see it. So he decided to be the fun police and call the police and this is what happened let's go to wapt 16 abc for the report please this has been a historic day and historic sentencing hunter elward the man who shot michael jenkins in the mouth got 20 years in prison the first member of the rankin county goon Squad to be sentenced, Elwood apologizing for the actions of he and others for abusing and sexually torturing Eddie Parker and Michael Jenkins in what started as a suspicious person investigation
Starting point is 00:03:34 but later led to a cover-up. Hunter Elwood stood in court and apologized to both men. Parker stood up in court and forgave him. For what is given and what is done, I forgive that part, but other than that, he still did, you know what I'm saying, what he did and he has to be punished for that. Elward put his weapon in Jenkins' mouth, pulled the trigger, but it didn't go off the first time. He did it a second time, severing Jenkins' tongue as the bullet exited his
Starting point is 00:03:58 throat. Jeffrey Middleton was sentenced to 17 and a half years in prison. The reported architect of the Rankin county goon squad in the assault in january of last year six officers tortured the victims tested their tasers to see which one was the strongest and tried to cover all the evidence after prosecutor say middleton said he had no problems killing anybody god bless that brother he better than me i would have had to talk to my therapist my wife all my spiritual uh leaders to get to that level of forgiveness they tortured sexually tortured this black man last year in a brutal attack that was based on race six cops came into this man's home with no warrant and assaulted these brothers with stun guns a sex toy and other objects let me
Starting point is 00:04:40 tell you something man i was born in 1978 okay therefore i grew up on wu-tang torture tactics and always said that wu-tang torture tactics were extreme okay i never thought in a civilized society wu-tang torture tactics would ever be necessary but after hearing this story i disagree with myself okay sometimes you gotta get medieval on these fools all right these are some of the things that need to happen to these officers in prison if you're new to Wu Tang torture tactics listen Torture mother mother Tie you to a bedpost with your cheeks spread out rocks put a hanger on a stove and let that shit sit there for Like a half hour take it off and stick it in your Yeah, lay your nuts on a dresser just your nuts laying on a dresser And bang them shit with a spike back
Starting point is 00:05:25 I'll pull your tongue out your mouth And stab the shit with a rusty screwdriver I'll hang you by your dick Off the 12-story building This is my favorite I'll sew your dick's whole clothes And keep feeding you And feeding you

Starting point is 00:05:54 You know this about me, but I also believe in energy. And what you put out, you will get back. It's a really simple concept. If you live your life with the mindset, don't do anything to anyone that you wouldn't want done to you or someone you love then you will live a great life so with that said i want these cops to receive the exact same energy in prison that they administered on the street see if you ask me this isn't the first time these officers have done this this is just the first time they got caught and punished for it i have no problem with eye for an eye dildo for a dildo in this situation okay do you know what eye for an eye means the principle
Starting point is 00:06:25 of justice that requires punishment equal in kind to the offense not greater than the offense as was frequently given in ancient times so if someone puts out another's eye one of the offender's eyes should be put out now i've heard people say eye for an eye makes the whole world blind that is not true the whole world will not be blind in fact nobody would be blind if whatever you did to someone got back done to you i really believe that people would would move a little different a lot different see what those members of the goon squad don't understand is that it's all fun and games until the inmates got the dildo okay and listen i see the comments on social media sometime and folks say charlamagne you make everything about race and it's usually white people saying
Starting point is 00:07:03 that and i don't even get upset i understand simply because race doesn't really exist for you because it has never been a barrier. Black folks don't have that choice. That's a quote from a Nigerian writer's name who I cannot pronounce. Let me just hear her name. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Say it, play it one more time.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Even when I hear it, I can't, you know. There's no S's in it. What I mean? It's pretty easy. and gozi adichie even when i hear it i can't you know there's no s's in it what i mean i don't want to chimamanda and gozi adichie still feel like i'll be spitting all over the place yes blessings to that queen drop on the clues bomb for her just remember whenever you tell a black person they're making everything about race, just remember that
Starting point is 00:07:47 quote from Chi Chi, okay? Race doesn't really exist for you because it has never been a barrier. Black folks don't have that choice. Please let Kathy Griffin give Hunter Elward and Jeffrey Middleton the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.
