>> Tucker: WE SHOWED YOU TAPE
LAST NIGHT THAT WAS SO AWFUL WE
HESITATED BEFORE PUTTING IT ON.
TERRIFYING, A HIDDEN DRIVER AND
LOS ANGELES, 16-YEAR-OLD STOLE A
CAR AND INTENTIONALLY RAN OVER A
WOMAN WHO WAS PUSHING HER
8-MONTH-OLD SON AND A STROLLER.
WE’LL SHOW YOU AGAIN, IT IS
DISTURBING, BEFORE YOU PUT IT ON
THE SCREEN WE SHOULD TELL YOU
THAT THE MOTHER AND CHILD ARE
WELL BUT IT IS STILL AWFUL TO
SEE.
AND THE L.A. DISTRICT ATTORNEY
HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE GUY WHO
DID THIS WILL RECEIVE SENTENCE
OF ONLY FIVE MONTHS IN
DIVERSIONARY PROGRAMS, THE
MOTHER WHO WAS INJURED IN THE
ATTACK IS OF COURSE OUTRAGED,
OBVIOUSLY.
WHAT IS TO SAY ABOUT THE VALUE
OF HER LIFE, REQUESTING TO GO
ONLY BY HER FIRST NAME, RACHEL
AND HONORED TO HAVE HER JOIN US
NOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
COMING ON.
>> THINK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
TUCKER.
>> Tucker: WE DEBATED TO PUT
IT ON, IT IS THAT AWFUL AND I
CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL.
HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SEE IT?
BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I AM
PRETTY NUMB TO IT, I WATCHED IT
I WOULD SAY AT LEAST A THOUSAND
TIMES, I STILL SHOUTED IT TO
SEE, DID I DO WHAT I THOUGHT IT
DID?
DID I DO EVERYTHING I COULD TO
PROTECT MY CHILD, AND THANKFULLY
I THINK I DID.
IT IS VERY TOUGH TO WATCH AT
FIRST, MADE ME VERY SICK.
BUT I’M OKAY NOW.
>> Tucker: IT SEEMS VERY
OBVIOUS, AND I AM LOOKING AT THE
SCREEN RIGHT NOW, THERE IS SPACE
FOR HIM TO AVOID YOU AND YOUR
SON, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE DID IT
ON PURPOSE.
>> ABSOLUTELY HE DID IT ON
PURPOSE.
I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH HIM AS
HE WAS APPROACHING US, IT
SCREAMED FOR THEM TO STOP.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS PLENTY OF
ROOM, TWO CARS CAN FIT, IT’S A
ONE-WAY STREET, SO IT IS MEANT
FOR JUST ONE CAR, BUT THERE ARE
CARS THEY CAN PARK ON THE SIDE
OF THE ROAD AND THERE IS STILL
PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ANOTHER CAR
TO PASS.
>> Tucker: STILL ANYONE WHO
WOULD MOW DOWN A MOTHER AND HER
BABY IN A STROLLER ON PURPOSE IS
SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE LOCKED FAR
AWAY FROM THE REST OF US, RIGHT?
>> ABSOLUTELY, AND JUST LEARN
FROM BILL OF ON SUNDAY THAT THE
KID HAD A FELONY RECORD ALREADY
AND WAS OUT ON PROBATION WHEN HE
HIT ME.
>> Tucker: SO HOW DO YOU --
THIS IS ALMOST A RHETORICAL
QUESTION, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
WHAT GEORGE HAS DONE, WHAT
MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND?
>> IT SENDS A LOT OF MESSAGES,
TO CRIMINALS THAT IT’S OKAY TO
DO BAD THINGS, BECAUSE WE ARE
NOT GOING TO PUNISH YOU, WE WILL
PUNISH THE VICTIMS INSTEAD.
YOU KNOW, I’M JUST BESIDE MYSELF
WITH THE COMMENTS THAT HE HAS
COME OUT WITH ON TWITTER CITING
THAT CALIFORNIA LAW SAYS THAT
THE PUNISHMENT IS FAIR, WHEN IN
FACT IT IS HIS POLICY IS HE PUT
IN A PLACE THAT PREVENT US FROM
GETTING APPROPRIATE JUSTICE.
>> Tucker: HE ASSIGNS NO VALUE
TO YOUR LIFE OR YOUR SON’S LIFE
AT ALL IT FEELS LIKE.
>> NO, HE CAN TAKE THE TIME TO
TWEET ABOUT IT AND MAKE THIS A
POLITICAL THING, WHICH IT IS
NOT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADMIT THAT I AM
A DEMOCRAT AND I VOTED FOR
GEORGE GHASSAN I AM PRETTY
CENTRIST, BUT EILEEN LEFT, AND
HOW I VOTED FOR THIS GUY BECAUSE
I BELIEVED THAT OUR PRISONS DO
NEED SUMMER FIRM, BUT REWARDING
CRIMINALS, VIOLENT CRIMINALS FOR
THEIR ACTIONS IS VERY FAR FROM
ANY KIND OF REFORMATION THAT
ANYBODY WOULD THINK IS
APPROPRIATE.
>> Tucker: YEAH, I MEAN, IT IS
THE MOST BASIC DUTY OF
GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT ITS
CITIZENS, PARTICULARLY MOMS WITH
BABIES IN STROLLERS.
>> ESPECIALLY THE COURT, THEY
ARE HERE TO PROTECT US, AND HE
IS REWRITING THE LAWS
ESSENTIALLY IN LOS ANGELES SO
THAT PEOPLE CAN GET AWAY WITH
WHATEVER THEY FEEL LIKE.
>> Tucker: ARE YOU GOING TO
STAY IN THE STATE DO YOU THINK?
>> NOT LONG TERM, NO.
WE HAVE PLANS TO MOVE IN THE
SHORT TERM, THE VERY SHORT TERM
WE WILL STAY IN THE STATE FOR A
WHILE, BUT OUR LONG-TERM GOAL IS
TO LEAVE THE STATE.
>> Tucker: SO THE FUTURE OF
THE STATE OF ROADS, SO SAD, YOU
ARE BRAVE TO COME ON, ESPECIALLY
SINCE AS YOU ADMITTED, IT IS NOT
A POLITICAL THING.
SO THANK YOU.
>> EVERY PERSON IN LOS ANGELES
SHOULD BE CONCERNED, THE CRIME
RATES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF, AND
WE NEED ALL OF THE SUPPORT WE
CAN GET FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE, ALL OF THE VOTERS, IT IS
