They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. Called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jeff's hilarious. Donkey of the day for Thursday, August 3rd, goes to a 21-year-old Mississippi man named Shunkendrick Huffman.

His first name is crazy. His first name looks like the last line on an eye chart. Why do people waste letters? Why name me something where most of the letters are going to be silent? This man's name is Shunkendrick, but it's spelled S-H-U-n-e-k-n-d-r-i-c-k shouldn't it be s-h-u-n-k-e-n-d-r-i-c-k whatever listen i need everyone to listen to this story closely because this story is a prime example of why patience is a virtue people see kendrick was 21 years old uh he's doing seven years well he was doing seven years

in the mississippi correctional facility for aggravated assault so that means he's been locked up since he was a juvenile right that means he's been locked up since he was like 13 14 he clearly must have had a public defender because no juvenile should get seven years for aggravated assault but either way this young man did his time and he was scheduled to be released in december of 2022 and needless to say that didn't happen why didn't it happen let's go to wapt 16 abc news for the report please an inmate who had only a few months left to serve before escaping from prison is now looking at decades behind bars shakendrick huffman is the person that you see on your screen the 21 year old escaped the central mississippi correctional facility in in Pearl August 25th of last year. He was serving the last four months of a seven-year sentence

for aggravated assault. Investigators said that Huffman broke into a nearby home and held the homeowner at gunpoint for hours. Authorities said Huffman stole a vehicle from the home and at some point rammed a law enforcement vehicle at a roadblock before running away. Huffman is sentenced to 60 years for two counts of kidnapping. He'll serve 40 of those years of the sentence with 20 suspended. Jesus. That's wild. He's an idiot. Kendrick, you did seven years in prison. He was four months away from coming home and you decided to break out. And once you got out, you broke into a nearby home, held three people at gunpoint for hours. And you stole a car from one of those hostages before before you crashed it. Then you fled on foot and then you was found hiding in a trash can just two miles away from the prison.

Now, I know we have conversations about these kids lacking patience, but this is ridiculous. He was four months away from being able to live in any trash can you wanted to. If you wanted to come home and identify as Oscar the Grouch, you could have done that legally. But no, four months from being released and you ended up escaping from jail and then committing a series of crimes that got you 40 years. I know what the hell happened. Sean Kendrick got a boo. I have a theory, yeah. Sean Kendrick has a prison bay.

All right. That prison bay Was pressuring him Oh you just gonna leave me in here Okay I gave you cigarettes I gave you honey buns We used to be in this cell Cheek to cheek Okay

And you just gonna leave me You were free Sean Kendrick Alright You served seven years Just to wait until The last four months To act up There's only one logical reason

That I could think of That would make a man Want to stay in And that's love The man is penis stay in, and that's love. The man is penis-matized, all right? Somebody's Indiana bones got him open, all right? This is like the movie Life in Reverse. Instead of coming up with a plan to get out, Kendrick was coming up with a plan to stay in because he loves the taste of Frankston beans, okay?

Him and his locked-up lover had an argument. Big Ray said, I gave you the best seven years of my life. How many rolls of toilet paper have I sacrificed for you? And you're just going to leave me? The thought of freedom and vagina should have motivated this man to be on his best behavior for four months. But instead, the fear of losing his guzman motivated him to get caught so he could stay in prison. He didn't want to leave, man. Too hard to adjust to this new world. He got to come home and pick a pronoun. He didn't want to leave, man. Too hard to adjust to this new world.

He got to come home and pick a pronoun. He don't even know what that is. And the thought of doing all that without his bae, he couldn't handle it. You know what I mean? All partners want is their significant other to show their commitment to them. But there's no bigger sign that you're committed than adding 40 years to a seven-year sentence and what 20-year-old or 21-year-old Sean Kendrick is going to realize is that at 21, no D is good enough

to make that kind of commitment. Right, AJ and Tammy? I agree. You know what I'm saying? Run. You and that man not even going to be together in five years.

But you still going to have to do all that 40. All because he fell in love with one-eyed Pete. A wise man once said, that penis will do that to you, man. Please give Sean Kendrick Huffman the biggest hee-haw. Sad, man.

But what if he was just a kid when he went in? What if he's institutionalized and afraid of society as a grown man? I believe that. That's what I'm saying he's probably scared of the world he probably it's too hard to adjust you gotta come home you gotta you know learn it well he could have learned to trade that's why they should teach that's why correctional facilities should be actual correctional facilities let this man learn to trade let this man get you know some proper education in there so he can come home and be a productive citizen right yeah

they don't do any real-life rehabilitation in prison, especially in America. We have the most people in prison in this country. They call them correctional facilities, but they're not correcting nothing. Mm-mm.

Not when the judge is on the prisons. Mm-hmm. So, Kendrick, you want to play a game? No, I do not want to play a game. All right. This man's name is spelled S-H-U-N-E-K-N-D-R-I-C-K. You want to play a game. Alright. This man's name is spelled S-H-U-N-E

K-N-D-R-I-C-K. You don't want to play a game? We do not need to play a game. It's Mississippi. You don't want to play a game with a racist? It's Mississippi. His name is Sean Kendrick. We do not need to play a game. You sure? You really want to play this game, huh?

Alright. I guess it's time to play a game of Guess What Race It Is. Okay. All right. 21-year-old Mississippi man named Shaquindrick Huffman had seven years in prison, only had four months left, broke out, held people at hostage, ended up getting 40. Guess What Race It Is. Bam, bam.

Mexican. Bye, Rachel. You know what, though? I can see why you would say that, is. Bam Bam. Mexican. Bi-racial. You know what, though? I can see why you would say that, though. Working hard. AJ, what do you say? Bi-racial. He's mixed.
