0:00 didn't know that if you shoot someone in 10 people I was like here dead [Music] some of you guys might have seen this already but there's a video um that went out a Florida woman in her own apartment complex working out in her own gym oh I have seen oh I saw this dude who just comes up and just randomly attacks her in her own apartment gym it's like you know you need a key card to get in and this guy's just standing at the door and she lets him in she lets him in thinking like maybe he's a resident and forgot his key card so she's being nice about it you're like that's not a workout outfit [Music]

0:50 so she's just in there doing her workout homeboy just comes up to her yeah approaching me I pushed him I said bro what the f ifth chasing me around the bench and we ended up on the other side whoa ████ so he was like a homeless dude or does he live here yeah she said that she's seen it around before grateful that she came forward oh look at that we're gonna take the back oh my God yeah so she fought him off can I see the rest of the video at the end oh you want to see the freaking tactics all right to never give up uh my parents always told me in life to never give up on anything and that's one thing I always kept in My Mind as as long as you don't give up you fight back he's so Armstrong that you are one that

1:41 you're able to fight back to survive situation yeah she's probably on that pre-workout too that's why she's ████ up yeah she's using barbells Brigade shower guns strength stack the reason why she let him in is because she's seen him around that area before but I don't know if he's well he could be the homeless guy on the same block exactly yeah and I guess like what they found out later is that there was like another time maybe either before or after that I can't remember which one that he would just watch people on their balcony like another person had a report of saying like hey this dude's just watching me from down below looking up in my balcony and then he showed up at their door what to do what they didn't open it so he's not a resident he can't be yeah he's a local I mean yeah but he might be he's also walking in there and

2:32 he's got ████ what looks like Hotel slippers on you know what I'm saying he got a cool Jersey yeah hockey jersey fan he did have a cool Jersey yes is that red wings yeah where was that at in Florida Tampa damn well that's just regular Florida Behavior though right it's crazy out there I'm so happy nothing happened to her though thank God yeah it is crazy and like the longer surveillance video and stuff too like she like opens the door for him she's like in the middle of her ████ and he just kind of like chilling around or he like walks and he stands there and then she's like going to the other room and then he's just like standing there for a second yeah just being creepy yeah it's just being really weird you know so it's like obviously also like a really just improper Behavior it's like something's kind of loose up there and then even the way that he like attacks her so to speak it doesn't seem team he just seems loopy you know what I'm saying it doesn't look like he's trying to ████ put her down because he don't

3:23 look like a professional he was he was trying to take her down bro he picked he picked up her legs trying to dump her yeah what was his like goal like was he trying to like bone in the middle of the gym or you might be office like rockers is just like not on his meds but the thing is like what do you do with somebody like that you know like like what's the solution like how do you help him like afterwards yeah like once you like what do you do with him do you send him to jail like how long does he stay in jail for like California Catch and Release yeah bro he's gone he's out of there in California so it's like it's it's a weird thing you probably ask her like are you hurt and she would be like I don't think so in there all right cool yeah because because he's definitely like not there yeah right like we talk about dude he's got a cool Jersey that's cool that's true I'll take everything back actually I thought that was a hockey jersey that's definitely what he said I think I'm pretty sure it's not New Jersey it

4:14 is it is too when she does get away from him it's like she like runs out the door and stuff like that he's still kind of just like discombobulated it's still kind of going out there too so it's like it's it's dope for her to just kind of like get out of that situation get into I'm assuming maybe it's like a more public Street or something like that you know be able to call for help um but that's do you ever think about sometimes being nice like that opens the door oh hell yeah 100 so she has a lady right you got to be really careful how you move well because being nice doesn't necessarily mean anything to a person that's crazy like it doesn't necessarily mean like all the branches out and they're like oh they understand or they pick up you're being nice they might just be like oh someone's within my reach it's an entry point form exactly yeah they're like free candy yeah sometimes that's what he might be thinking you know that's kind of why you have to be careful with like you know

5:05 just people that you see out like not even like strangers but just people that don't seem right yeah like it's not the person to be like hey you don't just start a conversation with them yeah I could imagine how complex it is if she isn't aware of that situation or like who that guy is as like a random you know stranger who's already gotten some sort of report and like imagine a dude that's like you know and you're in like a metropolitan area or or like a neighborhood of like you know other people that are responsible yeah like a nice complex and maybe a guy's like knocking on the door you know you also don't want to be like nah at the same time but yeah like where's your ████ game but I do think like people yeah especially in chicks or people that like obviously maybe can be physically you know in trouble they should be like extra ████ protected girls shouldn't even take the chance in my opinion yeah but what if they're afraid to be like racist or something because they're like oh I don't want to open up that door

5:56 because it's it's for like or I do want to open up because it's a black guy and I'm afraid to be a racist yeah but then the Race part I feel like is in essence secondary to the safe card to the safety card right but some not not all people think that way though oh yeah I agree well I'm not racist so I'm gonna open the door for him that happened that happened to me a little bit when I was in uh outside the studio in downtown some uh girl was like knocking on my window sitting in the car I just don't talk to people if they try to talk to me in downtown at all yeah and then she was like yo I need I needed something like like roll your window down just roll it down I'm not rolling I'm like nah just get the ████ out of here like I cussed her out and then she was like no I'm not homeless like she just kept saying I'm not homeless I was like I don't give a ████ if you live you're acting like it yeah that's all this activity yeah and then like I she like left and walked down the road and then uh and then like

6:48 she was like cussing me out or whatever she left walk down the street a few minutes later I finally drove off and then I saw her um trying to change her tire at her car three cars down from me she could still be homeless though you don't know did you did you pull over and help her like no man that I'm not gonna face my fears you know what makes me I felt so bad but I'm like hey but again like it's downtown bro downtown's different I'm not changing my rules for nothing even if I was wrong I'm like I I'm so paranoid I I I could be a racket it could be a Honeypot it could be like yo can you help me and then you're like all right where's your car and you I was just down here it really could be yeah and then they're like oh it's in this alley real quick I just broke down right here and you're like yeah yeah sure you walk over and they're like all right

7:38 dude Five Guys come up what do you got in your pocket I got some Medellin type scam yeah I mean she clearly had a flat tire and everything and had the jacket she was the one that needed like I don't want the Five Guys to show up but it was odd because she wasn't saying that she was just like saying just roll it down just roll it down I'm like that's a weird way to go about it anyways like you could easily sign like I have a flat tire right there it's like a window it's not like a ████ soundproof box and it's like to say like no I'm not homeless it's like that's weird yeah that's interesting yeah that's like Dylan got it it's saying on that stuff well you are a dick for not helping her hey but still yeah that sounds crazy though that happened to me three times in a row and I was I will not change I've seen people just take a ████ on the sidewalk downtown man he's got a couple videos of that oh my God yeah this dude is taking a massive dump in front of my

8:28 door he pulled he took his jacket off he was taking a dump in it and I was like come on man and then he uh he like bundled up his coat with all the ████ in it and he like David and Goliath swung it and it splattered across all the cars if that were like at the stop sign like these dudes are still driving oh I was like that's points for creativity what do you do with that guy man yeah like how do we help that guy well he had this so the district cop who's like the the Fashion District police officer guy came over and all he could do was just beg him to leave he was just like please just go you already took a ████ like you can get out of here man I couldn't do anything about it that's wild and you still love living in downtown no man I like living in Lincoln Heights I

9:18 don't like living in downtown L.A yo right down the street from you though there's like there was some crazy ████ that went down like right in front of Bargo like um there was a guy that was ████ so drugged out he was trying to come up and open all the doors and he and then I I felt so like I heard something in my door I was just chilling inside of my car and then I look up and this guy's looking at me with bloodshot eyes like bald-headed cholo like tatted up and stuff and he's like trying to open a door like hella aggressively and I was like what the ████ turn on my car and I move a little bit and I just see what he's doing and he goes and he goes into um other other cars right there's two two guys that was leaving barbell yeah and then um you know they're just like regular dudes like gym goers right and I saw him

10:08 like hassle them like like ████ punk his ass and I was like oh no so I I busted at you I went back and then I was in the car and I was like hey what the ████ so he looked at me and then he's like ████ yeah and he just started ████ like coming up to me so I was like oh ████ so let's change targets yeah I drove up a little bit but I didn't drive like hardcore because I wanted him to follow so then he was following me now and I was telling those guys like go go right and then like when I went he would just chase me and I just ████ bounced and I looped back around and I went inside the gym and I was like dude you know this guy was ████ hassling your members it was weird man what kind of drugs do you think he was on it was not yet normal drugs PCP or some ████ huh the real question for our hero over here is where was Bart yeah what the hell were you doing Bart were you there that day I know Gio was there he was

11:00 when I parked so I drove back in I parked my car in the back lot when you guys had that open and I ran in and I was like like Geo like your members are they okay because I don't know if they ran back here or where they went he was like oh that's just Julio I went to the front desk let him run around only told him to call the cops and then like yeah but that guy was like a creature like his eyes he was just and then the guys later we talked to him and they said that he just smelled like alcohol and all that he just wanted to fight yeah yeah I think there's different rules for people that like clearly look like they don't follow rules the rules are out the window and these

11:50 ones are in I remember I remember like uh we were talking about this a long time ago but I was just in like near uh Venice Beach area or something like that it came out of an ice cream shop and then this homeless dude looks at me he's like ████ you China man right he's just going oh like I'm Vietnamese whatever's convenient I was like I don't know the rules to this situation right now because the dude's like you know I say a slur back to him or something just walk away dude it's beyond reason that's the hard part what do you want me to say though white guy yeah well he's a very very dirty white boy yeah yeah so some sort of white racial slur it might be the same guy I was in Venice Beach too and it was his one white dude pulling a ████ baby carriage basket and then he was just talking like ████ ████ and then like get him away get on my way right and when he saw me he goes ah ████ Chinese

12:41 might have been Nigel and I was like damn I think they all have like one like homeless people they just have like one look bro if you know it's like One race have you noticed that it's like what race are you homeless it's like Beyond yeah for sure the scary thing is like the types of crimes when when there's like that population in the area the crimes are so weird they're very like unusual like the one that was right next to where uh like off of Maine yeah it was like oh yeah there was a report of a guy pushing a burning shopping cart with a woman inside of it like that's the crime like that is so odd yeah like it's never like normal things with a with a clear goal it's like there's no it's like Mad Libs yeah it's just they're just doing they're just doing whatever yeah yeah it's like bizarre stuff so again like like how she

13:32 handled it that's great that she was able to get away but man not everybody's here don't open that door bro if you could be you don't take the chance man you don't have your key card you gotta go back upstairs and go get it bro or if you're alone in there like come on man I do not miss living in downtown there was like when I went to sulfite underbelly he's right on skid roll yeah so yeah he's right on Skid Row he's down dude he like just picks people off the streets and like yeah that's why he can do those 10 there's tents like all around I don't know Stanford and fifth or whatever right like tents everywhere and this this lady was coming in like giving blankets to people and then she I guess she kind of like knocked on the tent as if it was a door like you know yeah I guess this guy was kind of like whatever drugged out and so she tried to kind of open and be like hello and then he was just he screamed at her

14:22 and this was me just pulling up like it's like don't ████ touch my house ████ he's like he was screaming it's not money but but I swear I heard like a a gun and then yeah and then I told Mark I was like bro and he's like you don't know Johnny like there's actually people here who are don't just because they're homeless it doesn't mean they're not strapped up and I was like that's crazy that's crazy yeah because they they're protecting themselves they're scared and yeah different set of rules out there ████ and the guy that reached out who was under him this other dude he was like basically saying like because he lived on skid roll too like before he got a job and all that and he's like these people a lot of them don't want they don't want help they just want to like they've made a choice to just stay here and there's also other games things that kind of act like they're whatever

15:12 it's a patrolled area it was crazy bro I didn't know anything about that wow the ecosystem's so different that's a whole thing that I'm interested in because I know that that's a peace zone for all the gangs because they all sell drugs so Bloods Crips everybody they just don't ████ with the market basically huh yeah yeah some of those tents are just businesses yeah yeah the one that was in front of the one they cleaned up in front of the brewery remember I told you I think this dude has her scooter because it was a Chop Shop yeah that whole tent was a chop shop so if you could see people bringing bikes and motorcycles and then all day long you just hear the saws the paints they had a paint booth you hear all that ████ in the tent yeah no they're doing it outside the tent oh no they had a school bus yeah I don't know how yeah but they had a full old school school bus with tents and then they had a whole ████

16:02 business there yeah so it looked like a like a repair shop that was owned by a homeless person so you know people are like oh that's nice he has his business still I'm like yo these people bringing stolen ████ all day and he's like chopping them off rest in peace my scooter but then the cops the cops finally put a stop to it because uh someone had shot somebody in a tent that's the only reason because they're like I want my headlights back yeah they didn't care about all the stuff he was doing until someone got shot and then they're like okay now we can move on they didn't know that if you shoot someone to 10 people I was like here these heads are pretty thick you're ████ dead you heard that don't zip it up
