I'm just ignoring her." And so she comes running through the gate and I saw her running at me. I went running to stop her from coming through the other gate. >> Mhm. >> I don't want any confrontation. I don't need it. Especially off this little mall. >> Well, you're thinking that she's coming over to do something for you. Okay. No, she wasn't coming like make believe she was a Vietkong running at me. Okay. Okay. >> That type. Okay. So, she got to the fence to cool her off. I threw a little water on her for my thing. So, I locked the gate. Well, not locked, but shut shut the lever.

But your friend was a jerk. >> Why were you a jerk to me then? I was so nice to you. I came up to you. I told you why we were talking to you. >> I told you, "Let's go to the front so we can talk." And uh you didn't. And then you threw yourself to the ground. >> Okay. But >> I want to talk to you about what happened. You want to tell me what what's what's going on? What what's why all of this? I am going to need a much more specific question. What do you mean why? >> Tell me what happened between and the uh the gentleman that was wearing the Trump hat. >> Oh, there has been conflict between the two of us. Not the two of them. He is just as mean to me as I am to him. >> Okay. So, today, let's just focus on today. What happened today? today. His friend who I've had several nice conversations with, I said to his friend, "Can I ask you guys why you still support Trump and one of them, the one that I was talking to, started to answer me, but Trump hat started freaking out, yelling, pussing. I I went into the small dog park to talk to the man who I was trying to talk to." >> So, he's freaking out. No, I wasn't trying to talk to the man who was freaking out. >> Okay. I >> was trying to talk to his friend. >> So, while the other one was freaking out, >> he was freaking out and it looked like he was leaving. >> So, I was going to talk to his friend. He wasn't leaving. He was coming to dump his drink on me. >> So, when the other gentleman, according to his freaking out, what was your purpose of going over and talking to the other gentleman? >> To talk to the other gentleman. Maybe >> what you just told me. >> Yeah. >> What was your purpose? to talk to >> about. >> I was asking them. >> I'm trying to make sense because if you're saying that someone is yelling, right, and obviously he's upset because of whatever comment you made about a Trump hat, I don't know. A reasonable person would probably turn around and go in a different direction and not actually go and talk to the other guy that's with him. So, I'm just trying to understand that part. >> It's a loop. So, I walk around over and over. Yesterday, I wasn't even here yet. >> Okay. So anyway, so you go and you talk to the guy that was not freaking out and then what happened. >> Thank you, sir. >> And um we disagreed. >> He saidoulevard >> and I got upset. >> What about what happened with the drink that he >> took some bottle? He threw his drink on me first. >> Okay. >> Seriously? >> And then >> Yeah, I dumped my drink back on. He did it first. >> Did you throw it or do you just dump it on him? >> I don't understand the question. >> Okay. You need me to reenact it for you? Throw is like this. Did you throw it like that or did you pour like this over him? >> I poured my drink on me. >> Okay. You poured your drink on him. Okay. He threw his drink at me. >> Okay. So, you poured your drink at him and then what happened? >> And then now I'm here. Are you >> I already told you what happened. >> Okay. >> Now, are you on any medications right now? >> I told you guys this. And I love I love that this is your response cuz I'm the crazy one. >> Wait, >> is that a yes or no? >> Of course, I'm on medication. Everybody should be on medication. What medication are you on right now and how long ago did you take it? >> Been taking my medication. I've been taking my anti-depressants since 2019. >> Okay. You took it earlier today. >> I have been taking my anti-depressants reliably since 2019. >> I'm asking you because this is the first time I have contact with you. So, I don't know what a normal behavior for you is. So, this may be normal for you. Uh, it's not really normal for most people.
