Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Charlemagne, say the game.
Don't get out of shape.
Charlemagne.
You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the
day donkey of the day does not discriminate i might not have the song of the day but i got
the donkey that 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 mr ed sharon's donkey of the day today? Well, Mr. Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Thursday, May 23rd,
goes to a 29-year-old fugitive named Jose Sims, all right?
And I'm going to give a little donkey, a little he,
to Lieutenant Brett Johnson in the Torrington Police Department.
Now, Jose may be listening to me because authorities believe he's somewhere in New York right now.
Okay, Jose has four warrants for failure to appear in court first degree
and three warrants for failure to appear in court second degree.
So that's seven warrants total for Jose Sims.
Now, we live in a different world, people.
Well, at least those of us who are a certain age,
it's actually a great thing to see, you know, how different life is now.
And it's great to see how people are so different from how we grew up.
But when I grew up and you had warrants, you just, you ducked the police.
Okay.
And when I say duck the police, I mean, duck the police.
You hit out as best you can.
You tried to avoid the jail at all costs because, you know, once you went in, especially if
you didn't have any money, you was going to have to sit for a while, especially if it
was for child support.
Lord have mercy.
If you had a warrant, you know, you simply went and turned yourself in because you didn't
want the police coming to your parents' house, your grandma's house, your baby mama house or whatever your last place of residency was.
Well, those days are over because now when people have seven warrants, they call police to negotiate.
And apparently police in Connecticut are willing to meet the demands of these fugitives.
Now, I have watched a lot of movies and I've seen criminals make crazy demands, especially when it's a hostage situation.
But it's usually something that makes sense, like money.
OK, money in a plane or a helicopter to get the hell out of there.
OK, tangible things that you can use and, you know, go and live a great life if you escape the police.
But keep in mind, Jose is a new breed. OK, when I'm not on the radio, I call him new niggers, new N words.
All right. So his request is something I've never heard before,
but I guess something we've got to get used to in this era.
Let's go to WTIC Fox 61 for the report, please.
One local police department is taking quite the unique approach trying to get a wanted man.
And they need your help to do it.
Now, take a look here.
This is 29-year-old Jose Sims.
Torrington police say he is wanted on seven arrest warrants
after he repeatedly did not
show up for a court appearance. But, and this is bizarre, Sims apparently told police he will turn
himself in if enough people respond to his wanted poster on Torrington police's Facebook page.
And then they negotiated this. Police said, hey, 10,000 likes maybe. Sims said, no, I want 20,000.
So they met in the middle, Apparently settled on 15,000 likes.
Right now, the post has about 11,000 likes.
So 4,000 more, and the guy will turn himself in.
I think he's at 17,000 now.
Oh, so he got to turn himself in?
But he hasn't yet.
Oh.
Seriously, why?
Why does Jose want this?
Why are the police in Connecticut complying with this?
Okay, a man cannot survive on likes alone.
You got kids, Jose. Because if you do, your shorty can't eat no likes, dog.
Now, I need to know why Connecticut police think this is okay.
Clearly, this guy didn't skip a court date for anything of any importance, okay?
I would hate to think he had to be in court for something serious and CT police playing
friendly with this guy, you know, getting his Facebook lit.
All right, listen, Jose, I know you you somewhere out there right now thinking your life is popping because you're getting all these
likes, got the most likes you ever got in your life for a picture. But those likes are not going
to pay your lawyer fees. All right. Those likes are not going to pay your bail. OK, those likes
aren't going to do a damn thing to you, but give you a false sense of confidence. You think you're
popping, but you're not. All right. Nobody Nobody in jail gonna care how many likes you got,
sir. Not to mention, you're a wanted.
You're a fugitive.
Fugitives are not supposed to bring attention
to themselves. Do you think I
pay attention to wanted posters? Seriously,
do y'all pay attention to wanted posters, wanted billboards
and stuff like that? I look at them.
I don't. You just see the big wanted thing, but I'm
driving. I ain't got time to look and see who that really is.
I don't. But guess what, Jose?
I paid attention to yours.
I know exactly what you look like because you have brought all this attention to your mugshot.
All right?
I hope they give you a day in jail for every like you get.
How many likes you got so far?
Over 20,000.
20,000 days in jail.
Wow.
All right?
You should have shot higher.
I want your bail to be based off your likes.
All right?
However many likes you get, that should be your bail in multiplier times 10.
All right?
And if there's a reward for your arrest, I want in.
All right?
Everybody reach out and touch 1-800.
No.
1-860-489-2000 if you know the whereabouts of Jose Sims.
I know you know what he look like because everybody went to his page to go like the picture.
And I know everybody knows what he looks like.
Okay.
He look like Rodimus from Juice.
All right.
That's what he looks like.
Some donkey of the days just saw themselves.
Please give Jose Sims the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.
You are the donkey of the day.
He should have said like 50,000 likes or something.
It'll get that.
I think so.
He's the donkey
of
the day.
He
should have said follows
and follow me, not just likes.
This update from the city of Torrington
Police Department. This is Lieutenant
Johnson. We are getting a lot of inquiries as to if Mr. Sims has turned himself in yet.
As of now, he has not.
We will update the post again
when he does turn himself in.
Thank you to everyone who liked the post
and messaged us with info.
It's all appreciated.
Let me like it.
You'll like it?
Okay, it's at 22,000.
You know what?
These police might be smarter
than I'm giving them credit for.
They might have did this on purpose.
Why?
Just because they know everybody
will go look at his wanted picture
and everybody will see him. so they're making him famous.
So being that they're making him famous, he really has nowhere to go.
Not famous.
Infamous.
I don't want to say the word famous.
He's infamous.
So they're making him infamous, so he really has nowhere to go.
Well, I'm hoping that they also stream everything
when he turns himself in on Facebook Live.
Why not?
Give him what he wants.
My goodness.
All right.
Well, that was Donkey of the Day.
So I'm crying when he can't make bail.
All right, Charlemagne, thank you for that Donkey of the Day.
Thank you, you beige bully.
Bully? All right, when we come back positive note.
My beige brethren.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Beige bay. Beige bottom.
