-- it was -- and -- program.

-- regard to morning mr.

well I always thought that Lou is -- -- because they've never met mark -- and then -- heard Lou every morning on your program so I said I I dig your commentary as you go off a little sometimes but.

Half sister did the market have been -- -- who -- recount which.

I don't.

Either way I'll start with a truck -- -- as well developed out.

Well I it's it's horrible tragedy obviously -- I think George -- the overzealous neighborhood watch captain who called 91146.

Times obviously had deep paranoia it was.

You know and overwhelmed up.

Three -- waiting to spring.

You know and -- feds will will do their justice however having said that and I have to add this.

You know as quickly as I can I think the million -- march they held here in New York on Wednesday night was exactly the wrong message you can't.

Rehabilitate.

The -- it is gang still where it's gangster wanna -- Ever -- every time someone sees particularly a black or Latino kid wearing ability you wanna walked to the other side of the street it conjures up.

A certain reaction a response.

It's it's a tragedy waiting to happen.

And when I'm doing Don -- some urging parents don't let your -- go out with the hood on unless he's going to a sporting event or it's raining outside.

It is it's asking for trouble I'm not saying that trip on Martin brought this on himself I am saying -- parents care about their kids' safety I have my own son -- when he was in his late teen years.

Don you know he's as mom is is Mexican American he has dark -- -- we have that damn witty and I'd look in the -- and I'd say.

You are gonna get stopped by every -- that that sees you when you pull up to the traffic light.

Killed and asked for trouble where they gonna walk away for -- you you're trying to convey this -- Push your cool guy well -- gonna bring -- trouble on yourself and I'm just urging parents that they this is a recipe for disaster these goodies will not be rehabilitated by a million -- marches straight bond -- And victims like him are martyrs I think that this fashion statement.

We're just a common sense though interpretation of what facts that I know based on the newspaper.

And television that sort of thing a number about making initial adjustment which reveal the resort real admiral and after her had to make a judgment about the deflects.

But it does it doesn't sound to me.

Like the kid did anything I mean he may have had -- -- -- -- apparently did.

And I think -- scandals and whatever LC.

But in very got a on a personal neighborhood watch for not rhetorical laws shouldn't have a -- -- so first thing.

The second thing as a means that they're what factually know it was a took.

He told by one woman were every call that told him not to follow -- -- -- what possibly -- to kid have done to be shocked.

I still think and I know this is provocative.

And I understand how people can get angry at me.

But I -- restate I think there could -- is as responsible.

Portray bond Martin's death as George -- it is.

Now your points about the neighborhood watch captains being armed.

I agree with the -- way too many guns and neighborhood watch captain should be people who called the authorities I hate when amateurs get involved.

In law enforcement it's nothing but trouble.

And this guy was an accident waiting to happen.

Having said that I am sure this kid.

Had no good on and his head was clearly visible.

And you could see what a clean cut youngster he really is may be Jordan Zimmerman would've reacted and responded in a way that wasn't so obviously.

Racial and and paranoid and and and overreacted.

And the fact that he had a deadly weapon and -- this that stand your ground law stand your ground laws were.

-- were pushed.

On various states by the NRA lobbying groups and they want people of this much of the pseudo macho attitude you don't have to retreat -- it has been interpreted by some police departments to allow this kind of aggressive and sometimes deadly behavior I am absolutely against it I am absolutely against vigilante -- And these neighborhood watch groups should be our days they shouldn't be hands when it comes to -- keeping nabors said -- oil discuss thousand at least on harass until.

Thank and -- determined of them all of the facts investors well I I believe that the will personally know the police chief has resigned the other vote of no confidence.

But I think that's all Expos -- I I believe that most of the cops when they looked at this.

They -- that there was a black kid wearing -- -- In the in this neighborhood in was he a stranger to this neighbor I think that's a factual issue.

To be determined but -- look at is that why -- -- shot him two or I would -- followed him to I would have done that to and I think there is.

You know may be this.

This reflex that kid wearing a ready in a neighborhood worried may be doesn't belong is someone that deserves the fullest attention from from cops -- from -- -- like George some talk north Harlow Rivera are now.

One important rituals gunslinger -- -- -- -- -- just -- agriculture abacus so strong.

Wondering black off director shots of this Brussels and Saudi and I resistance usually Jerusalem wired by the time 9 o'clock and more incomes and and I and then and then your your dosing it we're -- T Jan I mean would TJ and that expresso -- like -- -- -- would be water -- -- Not at all around seven or whatever all I got on the commodity and federal and I.
