So uh there's a lot of uh there is a shelter right there across the street you know where the church was >> right >> okay so they would come they would cross the street and just go for help. Um, so yeah, that place is the place I never would work. >> Yeah, I don't blame you. >> Yeah, it's closer. >> It's it's they they got violent. They got they got uh few times it was really bad up there. So, Cleveland police would be all the time on the on the spot because they really they really can be violent. Now, if they kick them out of there, they come to us.
