So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitches! Who's donkey of the day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Friday, August 30th, goes to the Montgomery County Court System in Pennsylvania. Ladies and gentlemen, today's donkey is a prime example of why, regardless of what the situation is, you always have to hear both sides. Because if I told you right now, Christopher Casey, 56 years old of Upper Moreland,

was sentenced last week in Montgomery Court to 11 1⁄2 to 23 months in the county jail, followed by three years of probation after pleading guilty to a charge of manslaughter, what would you think? If I told you he was also charged for possession of an instrument of crime, what would you believe?

What do you think, Nvy and LL Cool Bay? When I say this man was charged and sent to prison for manslaughter, what goes through your mind, Envy? That's where he should be. Yeah, he killed somebody. Okay. But that's why you always have to hear both sides. See, Casey was originally charged with third degree murder in the January death of a 62

year old man named Robert Wallace. Robert lived next door in a duplex. They shared a common wall. Well, apparently Christopher Casey was a snorer, not just any type of snorer. Apparently the type of snorer whose snores could leave his mouth, travel through the walls, and into Robert Wallace's ears. We all know the person who snores, falls asleep first, and keeps everybody else up. Well, one day Robert Robert had had enough,

and he decided that he needed to do something about Christopher Casey snoring. What happened next is tragic and is yet another example of why humans need better conflict resolution skills. Let's go to 6 ABC News Philly for the report, please. Right now to a deadly stabbing in Hatboro, Montgomery County. 56-year-old Christopher Casey will spend up to 23 months behind bars for a death that stemmed from an argument over snoring. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors say Casey stabbed Robert Wallace, who'd pushed in a window and threatened to kill Casey over his loud snoring. The two men lived next door to each other in a

duplex. This is why you always have to hear both sides. First of all, if anyone has ever told you that you snore, just know that person has very carefully weighed the pros and cons of killing you. Okay, they have played it out in their head over and over. They've thought about it. If I let this person live, I will never get a good night's sleep. But if I kill him, I'll sleep well just in a prison cell. So there is a part of me that understands Robert's frustration. He did what so many people have thought about, you know, doing.

Meaning he wanted a good night's sleep and he knows he could, he would never get one with Christopher's freight train snoring in the next apartment. I'm just assuming it was freight train snoring because this man was in a whole other, whole other apartment. Okay. They weren't roommates. They weren't bunk bed buddies. This man was in a whole other apartment.

He could have, and he could hear him through the walls. So this wasn't no mild snoring, no moderate snoring. This was freight train snoring that Robert could him through the walls so this wasn't no mild snoring no moderate snoring this was freight train snoring that robert could hear through the walls okay these walls must have been made out of the same material that kawaii linda's knees are made out of because for robert to be able to hear the snoring and then try to push in christopher's first floor window and threaten to kill him i have one question what else was christopher supposed to do if somebody is pushing in your window and threatening to kill you am i supposed to wait until they get in my residence and wait and see

if they really want to kill me no i have to defend myself i have to attempt to neutralize the threat i'm shocked christopher didn't have a gun okay they found robert 50 feet away from the residence after suffering uh the stab wound so clearly he stuck him someplace fatal but if he had a gun they would have found him dead right there at the house. Okay. I think it's terrible that a life was lost, but if you attempt to push in someone's window, you're breaking into someone's house and you're threatening to kill them. You're kind of asking for it. Now back to the Montgomery County court system. I don't believe Christopher should have been found guilty of anything. Was it because he stabbed him several times? That has to be the reason because this man should not be facing any charges I did some research and by research I mean googled and Pennsylvania has a stand your ground law deadly

force is reasonable in specific cases if someone is unlawfully entering your home work or vehicle if someone has unlawfully entered your home work or occupied vehicle and is trying to unlawfully entered your home, work, or occupied vehicle and is trying to unlawfully remove you. Now, it does say the force you use must be equal to the force you are threatened with. Whether or not you provoke the circumstances is decided on a case-by-case basis. I don't think snoring is provoking someone to try to hurt you, okay? And it says it has to be viewed upon the totality of circumstances. For example, courts have said that the mere use of insulting words, which leads to a fight, does not rise to the level of provoke. But once again, if someone is breaking into your house, right,

unprovoked and threatening to kill you, I personally have no problem with a person responding the way Robert Wallace did. Now, Lauren, Envy, after hearing both sides, what do you think? Free Christopher or not? Yeah. You ain't gonna break into my house and me just sit there and look at you. Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright, just making sure. Okay.

Please give the Montgomery County Court System in Pennsylvania the biggest you know. You're knocking my window. I don't know what you're about to do. That's why you always got to hear both sides. Right. That's all I'm saying. You always got to hear both sides.

I was scared for my life. What was I supposed to do? Yes. What do you expect, though, when you do something like that? Like, you should expect something coming your way. I have no idea what he was thinking. I really don't. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, can we switch to Lauren's toxicity? Yes. Yesterday, Lauren LaRosa was in here drunk. Me? Lauren LaRosa. Okay, not this whole Lauren London LaRosa personality you be trying to have. Lauren LaRosa.

People in Delaware call you Nunu and all of that. Lauren got drunk the other night because she was at Sims party, right? The social unplug. She came in here drunk. Can I say your name? Oh, okay. She said no. Somebody that works here's friend was trying to holler at Lauren. Correct. Okay.

And Lauren gassed it up. She said that he put my husband in the phone. Hard emojis. Then she was clowning him for texting him. I tried to take a photo. She was clowning him for texting her. One thing I know how to do is keep my phone getting tooken.

Text her saying good morning and all kind of stuff. Lo and behold, Lauren lied on that, man. He lied on that, man. First of all. When we come back, we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about your lies. So the question is, 800-585-1051. Did you ever dog out a good man?

I wish I knew what me and y'all was talking about. All the man did was text Lauren and say, yo, hope you made it home safely. No, just checking on you. And then she replied back, I love that for us. I love that for us. What? And then he replied, oh, okay. Heart emojis.

I can't wait to talk to you later. And now it's, oh, what? You gassed him up. You started. You put my husband in the phone. I love that for us. heart emojis I can't wait to talk to you later and now it's a what you gas him up you started you put my husband in the phone I love that for us I put my husband
