the attack happened at a dance venue in monterey park around seven miles east of los angeles city centre. the motive for the attack is still not clear. emma calder reports. celebrations turned to tragedy. a gunman opened fire at this lunar new year celebration. thousands had attended the event, which had drawn to a close when witnesses say a man turned a semi automatic weapon on the crowd. i had my head phones on at the time, but i did hear some sounds going off and i was like, are those fireworks? i was, wow, i thought we were missing fireworks. and then i knew for a fact it was not fireworks when i heard the helicopters, up above, because we never get helicopters around here. preliminary police reports suggest the suspect is an asian male who is still at large. all of us at the department, all - of my officers responded, all of my
we know it, but then we don t necessarily practice it. it s not normal to come out of concerts and clubs with your ears ringing and not able to hear. you need your ears! you just need your ears, we take it for granted. and a lot of people just don t think about it cuz they think, “tinnitus, oh yeah, that s that ringing in your ears right? something that maybe just lasts a couple of minutes.” you know if you don t know you don t know. but what you don t know can actually hurt you. i thought i had decades until something like this was going to happen. i didn t know that there was a lot i could have done to prevent it. you gotta protect your hearing. protect your hearing. wear ear plugs or wear head phones that actually minimize the sound that s going inside your ears. take sounds breaks. we re constantly on our phones. this is going to get very real for you a lot sooner than you think. you re still cool. your sound isn t blasting and vibrating all the windows. and you re still cool.
in that crowd? i mean, this is crunch time. right? this is not essentially thinking, this is the general, little more composed and thinking, let s have a different take. that from president obama was really going at him. that s been a theme in the last few days of warnock s campaign is using herschel walker s own words against him. and they are running an ad that s gone pretty viral that is just voters reacting to herschel walker. with head phones. yes. and it is very powerful because quite frankly it s what we ve been hearing from georgia voters, not all of course, but a lot of georgia voters have been saying the same thing throughout the campaign like is this guy serious? why is he being taken seriously? what is your reaction, liam? i watched president obama out there having fun. this is a role even to the extent he was ever on the trail to do these sorts of things he hasn t been able to play the attack dog role. he is having fun, mixing it up.
and he kelly montague day is something we created. you know you have friends that are just extra. he was extra. we all loved him. so my high school they would have, like, 707 s day was a thing. then we re dressup days. we just made it up. it wasn t a real thing. we all just dressed up like him one day. he didn t know it. he showed up and everyone is walking around dressed like him. and then they put it in the year book. can you have a idea that is not real but then it becomes real. maybe there is kelly montague day. what can you say about you and your friends? yo! you have the picture. i ll tell you right here. all right. this is kelly montague on kelly montague day. kelly just was a style he rocked. he would always have this kind of tank top, backpack, usually had the old school head phones. there it is. the real picture. shoutout to kelly montague day. the shoutout to kelly and to garfield high school in seattle. in fact, our alma mater is known for the alumni like jimi hendrix
it would really quick to jump on this train of thought directly, but i will say this is a very authentic thing in the right. they have been pushing this idea that they are persecuted, especially if you watched cpac, you saw the guy pretending to cry in a jail cell, pretending to be a january 6th prisoner as january 6th people s testimony played in head phones. they believe that conservatives are being persecuted they had a panel saying we are domestic terrorists, the have that had if you re conservative you re being persecuted again. that is real thought and what they are going to run on in 2022. so a lot of what i ve seen also from the right online is even sort of congressional republican websites have said, hey, if this can happen to donald trump, this can happen to you. if this if these kinds of raids can occur, what can happen to you? i m sorry, i think of breonna taylor, that raid was much
