Sup you beautiful bastards
hope you're having a
fantastic Wednesday welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into and the first thing I want to talk about today is
The crazy story around the Michigan 5 and the death of Kenneth White. Ken was a 32 year old construction worker
He was riding shotgun in a van on
I-75 when seemingly out of nowhere a six pound rock smashed through the windshield hit him in the chest and head and soon after Ken
Was pronounced dead at the hospital so what happened well according to police the Michigan five
seventeen year old Kyle
Anger, 16 year old Marks Seklesky 16, year old Mikadyn Payne, 15 year old Trevor Gray and 15 year old Alexander Miller
Went to two separate overpasses that night and threw things down at the oncoming cars police saying that the group through a tire, 20 rocks one weighing as much
One weighing 20 pounds in addition to Ken being killed by one of those rocks several other vehicles were damaged police say after throwing the rock that ended
up killing White, teens left the overpass and went to a McDonald's
To eat. Now where we are today is that this group has been arrested and individually they've been charged with
Second degree murder conspiracy to commit second-degree murder and malicious destruction
of property and so ultimately what that means is all of them are facing a
Possibility of life in prison we also receive the news today that the judge denied bail for everyone charged here and personally I say good
These five should be punished
While I understand why they're not charging
first-degree murder that it doesn't appear that there was premeditation to kill it does 100% appear that they had the intent to harm according to
Police it appears if the Michigan five took rocks from another location and then brought them to the overpass one of which as previously mentioned
Was 20 pounds and keep in mind these are being dropped or thrown from a height at vehicles most likely going around
75 miles per hour and understand I'm saying this from my point of view where there is no win here. A man's life was taken
In a situation that cannot be deemed an accident accident is not the proper word for
Purposefully dropping a 20 pound rock from an overpass onto oncoming vehicles to me
There's no way there wasn't an understanding that this could do massive damage, and I get no joy from the potential harsh punishment
But I think that there is a need for an incredibly harsh punishment here
I think an example needs to be made are the people responsible
They need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law it's for a statement to be made and that statement is if you
Are going to do something that could potentially ruin
Someone's life your life could be ruined as well actions have consequences and the actions of these five took away a life
But of course I do want to pass a question off to you. What do you think is the proper punishment here?
Are you thinking along the lines of a life in prison or you think any lesser sentence how much of a factor is their age?
To you anything and everything I'd love to know what you're thinking on this story
Then let's talk about our douchebag of the day 30-year old Carlos
D'Angelo bail you may be wondering Phil how can this guy be our douchebag of the day you just talked about the Michigan 5 well
Because Carlos who is a now former
Maryland school a a former track coach is accused of sexually assaulting several male students while he was HIV positive
Also when I say several he is accused of assaulting
42
juveniles
According to the State Attorney's Office the ages of the alleged victims at the time the offenses were committed range from 11 years old to
17 years old while Bell who is once again HIV positive allegedly sexually assaulted the students
He was not wearing protection additionally when police searched his home electronics
They found child porn as right now the charges against bail include 22 counts of sexual abuse of a minor
19 counts of second degree sex offenses seven counts of third degree sex offenses and 97 counts of child pornography
The State Attorney's Office said if they do get the conviction
They are going to seek life in prison that said if Marilyn does have a change of heart
And they feel like maybe I don't know we go with my opinion on what you do with these kind of people
Throw them into a fire
I would be more than happy to clear my schedule which actually side note I address this on Twitter
But I also want to mention this in a video someone the other day was messaging me on all these things that I need
To change about my show one of the things they wrote was again dropping f-bombs and suggesting people be lit on fire are
Significant behaviors that will keep you from gaining new support
And so I'll repeat and add on to what I tweeted back because I want I want even the people in the in the back
Row to hear one child molesters people guilty of what Bell is accused of here
I believe deserve to be lit on fire and two I don't care if sharing my unreserved opinions and not keeping it PC prevents growth
I have passionate feelings about varying topics, and I'm going to share those opinions with you
That's going to push people away, or keep others from from joining. Then sorry. I mean just kind of think about it
Why would I rein myself in? Not be
the real me and all of a sudden that the the real me one day slips out and then I what do with all these
Other people that are trying to keep it PG for money do
apologize for letting your real self slip out and passionate about many things and one of those things that has been brought up recently I
Very unfortunately because of news stories been about the punishment of predators to children people that abuse children
And I will share those because especially because there's like this small little creeping movement of people that are trying to make it seem
Less weird, but of course like with everything I talk about I love to know your opinion on this story
But with all that said let's jump to a happier segment, and that is today in awesome brought to you by shopDeFranco.com

I just shared, the secret link of the day, anything at all links has always are in the description down below
Then let's talk about why actress Heather Lind is in the news and that is because she is accused George HW
Bush of sexual assault and now delete an Instagram post from Tuesday Lind said that she had posed with Bush during a photo op in
2014 in Houston this were a screening of her AMC show turn
Washington spies the post read I was disturbed today by a photo I saw President Barack Obama shaking hands with George HW
Bush in a gathering of ex presidents organizing aid to states and territories damaged by recent hurricanes
I found it disturbing because I recognize the respect ex presidents are given for having served and I feel pride and reverence toward many of
the men in the photo when I got the chance to meet George HW
Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on he sexually
Assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo didn't shake my hand touch me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara
Bush by his side he told me a dirty joke and then all the while being photographed touched me again
Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say and not again the security guard told me I shouldn't have stood next to him for the
Photos there also others who spoke up and back to her account Craig Silverstein the executive producer
Showrunner for turn writing I was there probably 10 feet away
I remember watching your eyes bulge and shot the cameras snapping away we all learned
What happened about five minutes later and were shot I remember seeing you in the alcove of the theater doors trying to collect yourself
Afterwards I think it's incredibly brave of you to share this Joel Stillerman Hulu's chief content officer writing as you know Heather
I was there
It was a terrible moment for you
But you were strong then and you were strong now in the wake of all the recent news everyone who has been
Proximate to an incident like this has had to contemplate whether their response was appropriate
I'm sorry you had to live through that and I hope the grounds will have awareness around this issue makes it harder for
Perpetrators to act like this and easier for victims and bystanders to call it out when it occurs stay strong
So that's what we heard from her side than the obvious
Question became what does Bush have to say for himself and we found out from Jim McGrath a Bush spokesman who issued the statement
President Bush would never under any circumstance
intentionally caused anyone distress any most sincerely
Apologizes if his attempt at humor offended miss Lynn and so that's where we are right now
And I'm left with a few questions
First up for me would be why did Heather Lynn delete this post it's also unclear when she deleted this post so what did she?
Second-guess this move she tried to remove it by then the new is it
When did she remove it because once it was in the news cycle. It was mission accomplished
We don't need that post anymore for some other reason as of right now
We don't know also does deleting the post kind of undermine what she was trying to do here does it undermine part of the hashtag
"Me Too" movement have seen some people arguing that then two when I looked at that Bush apology, it's it's unclear to me
What exactly he is apologizing for statement reads
He most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended, so is he apologizing just for the dirty joke that Linda mentioned
Or is he saying the butt grab was part of the joke and so he's sorry that his sexual
Assaulting joke was offensive like I said, that's where we are right now
And I would love to know your thoughts around this and then let's talk about Amazon key
Amazon just announced this new service today for Prime members to be a part of this new program
You need to buy an Amazon Cloud cam that's their $120 internet-connected security camera and along with that
You'll need to buy a smart lock they even have combined camera lock packages that start at $250
It's the idea behind Amazon key is you install that smart lock you install the Amazon Cloud
Camera outside your door and then when your order from Amazon is delivered to your house your door will open
So that the delivery person can leave your package inside, and I have to say personally that's gonna be a no from me
I understand why some people are excited by this but for me this seems like convenience over security. I don't want some person
I've never met before having the ability to open the front door of my home
And I'm not even saying that person steals something there. I in my head my cynical brain
I'm like that person's gonna case my house. See if you have an alarm have expensive stuff
That said I am very excited about all the stories
I'm gonna get to cover of all the home pets that get to have brand new interactions with people
They don't know opening the front door. I don't just mean you know that cliche of an animal attacking the mail carrier
There is no way that a cat or a dog or two
Doesn't escape and run away hey Alexa find my dog also good luck to everyone that sets an alarm when they leave their house
I wonder how many false alarms we're going to see trigger? I'm sure the police are gonna
Love all the false calls they get or I guess if you have an alarm system. You just don't have the alarm on???
But, hey, that's my mindset on this. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Cynic. Maybe you love this you're going for it
Let me know what you're thinking in those comments down below
