Mildred Hayes:
Y'know what I was thinking about today? I was thinking 'bout those street gangs they had down in Los Angeles, those Crips and those Bloods? I was thinking about that buncha new laws they came up with, in the 1980's I think it was, to combat those street-gangs, those Crips and those Bloods. And, if I remember rightly, the gist of what those new laws were saying was if you join one of these gangs, and you're running with 'em, and down the block one night, unbeknownst to you, one of your fellow Crips, or your fellow Bloods, shoot up a place, or stab a guy, well then, even though you didn't know nothing about it, and even though you may've just been standing on a streetcorner minding your own business, what these new laws said was You're still culpable. You're still culpable, by the very act of joining those Crips, or those Bloods, in the first place. Which got me thinking, Father, that whole type of situation is kinda like your Church boys, ain't it? You've got your colors, You've got your clubhouse, you're, for want of a better word, a gang. And if you're upstairs smoking a pipe and reading a bible while one of your fellow gang members is downstairs fucking an altar boy then, Father, just like those Crips, and just like those Bloods, you're culpable. Cos you joined the gang, man. And I don't care if you never did shit or you never saw shit or you never heard shit. You joined the gang. You're culpable. And when a person is culpable to altar-boy-fucking, or any kinda boy-fucking, I know you guys didn't really narrow that down, then they kinda forfeit the right to come into my house and say anything about me, or my life, or my daughter, or my billboards. So, why don't you just finish your tea there, Father, and get the fuck outta my kitchen

You know what I was thinking about today
00:00:03.991 --> 00:00:05.799
I was thinking about those street gangs
00:00:05.801 --> 00:00:07.259
they have down in Los Angeles
00:00:07.261 --> 00:00:10.321
those Crips and those Bloods
00:00:10.324 --> 00:00:12.096
And I was thinking about that bunch of new laws
00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:13.313
they came up with
00:00:13.315 --> 00:00:15.367
in the 1980s I think it was
00:00:15.369 --> 00:00:20.029
to combat those street gangs those Crips and those Bloods
00:00:20.999 --> 00:00:21.385
And if I remember rightly
00:00:21.387 --> 00:00:24.657
the gist of what those new laws were saying was
00:00:24.659 --> 00:00:26.361
if you join one of these gangs
00:00:26.364 --> 00:00:29.179
and you're running with them
00:00:29.181 --> 00:00:31.649
and down the block one night unbeknownst to you

00:00:34.295 --> 00:00:37.215
shoot up a place or stab a guy
00:00:37.217 --> 00:00:39.372
Well then even though

00:00:41.002 --> 00:00:44.801
and you were just standing on a street corner
00:00:44.803 --> 00:00:46.888
minding your own business
00:00:46.089 --> 00:00:51.069
what these new laws said was you're still culpable
00:00:51.692 --> 00:00:54.158
You're still culpable by the very act of having
00:00:54.016 --> 00:00:55.655
