| If you could say something to the people who did this to your store, what would you say? | |
| Oh no, find a better way. | |
| Find a better way to send your message. | |
| Last night was so scary. | |
| I had a bagpack by the door thinking I might set my building on fire. | |
| They set something on fire next to my building. | |
| What do you think Trump should do about what's happening? | |
| Send help. | |
| We need more help so the cops can do what they need to do. | |
| Military help? | |
| military help, national guard, whoever it is, you know, bodies. | |
| *Dramatic Music* | |
| If you could say something to the people who did this to your store, what would you say? | |
| Find a better way. | |
| Find a better way to send your message. | |
| If you could say something to the police, do you have any thoughts about them or get it together? | |
| Gonna set it better myself. | |
| Get it together. | |
| So I'm a downtown Cleveland resident and I live at Perry Payne on Superior and I was I saw it all happening last night. | |
| I got in early because it was a little scary. | |
| But the DCR, there's a downtown Cleveland residence group, and they posted a meetup at the Soldier Sailors Monument and they gave us all bags and we're just out. | |
| They asked us not to pick up glass because for obvious reasons, but um just to pick up whatever we can and help clean and it's really heartening to see so many people out. | |
| There's like hundreds of people out. | |
| Some of them are just putting up the boarding and everything, but they're out helping. | |
| And it's you know, last night was so scary. | |
| I had a bagpack by the door thinking I might set my building on fire. | |
| They set something on fire next to my building. | |
| So it's good to be out and see people see the love for the city. | |
| Man, I just I cannot imagine. | |
| So you live in maybe one of these apartments that are. | |
| Mine's down, it's a 1888 building. | |
| It's down uh past Public Square in the warehouse district. | |
| And you could see everything happening from down below. | |
| Not everything. | |
| I could see I had a limited view. | |
| I could see the terminal tower and I could see smoke and I could see people were stopping to film something happening beside my building, only I didn't know what it was and it was unnerving, but I knew it was not a good idea to go out. | |
| Luckily one of my neighbors had video of the back and she could see it was like a little uh where they take cash in a parking lot. | |
| It was just a booth for that. | |
| I was afraid the whole Rockefeller building was on fire and that you know like it was getting crazy. | |
| But that I mean that's crazy enough, but like not threatening fire to my building. | |
| As you guys know, this is a very scary and dangerous time to be a right winger out in this type of environment. | |
| Please consider going to patreon.com slash can it to support my work coming out here. | |
| I'm dressed like this because of how I get treated by people who did this. | |
| So you guys were called in to do some construction, some cleanup, I'm guessing. | |
| Board-ups, the windows, all the broken windows, broken glass, we cleaned the glass up, put plywood. | |
| What did it look like before you guys started cleaning it up when you got here? | |
| Uh before we started cleaning up, looked like a whole bunch of graffiti, just a mess, like a bomb went off. | |
| I mean you can see over there with the cars, you know, burnt up, just havoc. | |
| Do you think this is justice for what these people say is wrong in this country? | |
| And they're in their ways, maybe, but they're still destroying businesses that's costing people money. | |
| We just opened up the city. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Let me ask you guys this. | |
| What do you think of the police response to them doing this during it all? | |
| What do you what do you think of their response? | |
| As far as then tear gas and paintballing the people you mean? | |
| All of it. | |
| Did they do enough? | |
| Did they not do enough? | |
| They did what they could. | |
| I mean they were outnumbered. | |
| There's thousands of people and hundreds of you know officers. | |
| So they did what they could and everything in their power. | |
| Do you think maybe we should bring in some military forces to back it up? | |
| Yes. | |
| I was talking to some uh officers while we were boarding up and they said they want the National Guard to come help them. | |
| So they want they want the help. | |
| If you could say one thing to those people who made you feel that way, what would you say to them? | |
| Well I s I support the movement and I support the cause and I understand the anger. | |
| Obviously most of the people here were protesting peacefully. | |
| I it's it's just it's just heartbreaking when it's your home and the city you love to see so much destruction, you know. | |
| We're paying evil for evil. | |
| It's not gonna get us anywhere. | |
| What we need to do is get on our knees and pray to God because that's the only one that can solve this. | |
| You know, Satan's trying to divide us. | |
| He's dividing the People and this is what you get. | |
| You get hell. | |
| So we need to all become united, and we need to have people that need justice serve the you know the cop. | |
| If he was wrong, if he's proven guilty, he needs you know pay for his crime. | |
| Do you think this type of violence and looting and rioting and setting things on fire is justified for what happened? | |
| People are dying. | |
| They're killing people. | |
| So I can't. | |
| I mean, it's gotta stop. | |
| I mean, I'm not saying it's right one thing over the other, but we can't keep killing people, you know. | |
| You guys said you're Trump supporters, right? | |
| Yes. | |
| What do you think Trump should do about what's happening? | |
| Send help. | |
| Send help so we can uh, you know, if this happens again, if it happens today, the cops can't keep up on their own. | |
| So he needs to send help. | |
| That's the only thing we could do. | |
| It's sad that our people have to fight against our people, but um, you know, have no choice. | |
| We need more help so the cops can do what they need to do. | |
| Military help, military help, National Guard, whoever it is, you know, bodies. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What do you think? | |
| Well, it's sure. | |
| I mean, it's not really about political. | |
| I mean, when you got businesses here that just opened up from the c I mean, all these people gotta pay for their families and everything else. | |
| So I mean, people need to respect their, you know, property and all that too, as well. | |
| I mean, it shouldn't come down to politics. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| You know, that's just common sense. | |
| You know, it's kind of stupid. | |
