- “I hate when they make everything political because...I would still know that that was an innocent man who was unalived.”
- Urges listeners to resist pigeonholing tragedies into partisan debates: “I don’t give a damn about no right or left or liberals or conservative or Republican or Trump or maga. I don't give a damn about none of that...I'm on the right side of a human being who sees another human lose their life.” (48:20)
- Rebukes both Democrat and Republican rhetoric: “These ain't the politicians. This is a nurse who probably working his ass off 70 hours a week just to maintain, just like all of us, and then he gets murdered in cold blood. I don't like that, man.”
- Event Details & Aftermath:
