Rosie Manning. I know him. And I was just like The other people The band said, "No, you got to get out of here." Like but that's not their That's not their position. They don't have the decision They don't have the right to sit there and kick me out of an establishment. They don't freaking know because I didn't do anything. I did not start a fight. I did not I was not I literally did not lay a a hand on anybody or freaking I was literally just freaking saying, "All right, man, we got to get a fight."

I'm watching it. All right. I I have an individual comes up and says, "Hey, this person's, you know, causing issues. Can you, you know, keep just keep an eye on him?" I do. I see you engage in a conversation. I see a female try to disengage and walk away. I see you advance. I was talking to a friend. But, my point is >> I thought was a friend. >> Okay. Well, they they weren't. They they complained to the Okay. So, I see you advance. I tell you to leave because I don't want it to become physical. I don't know that's already been physical. I've no idea. I don't want to hear All all I want is no physical altercations to happen. I give you an opportunity to leave and to to go just because I was trying to keep the peace because I have a lot of people that I have to keep an eye on. And you refused. I I I did refuse because because quite honestly, man, If you would have said, "Hey, look, I was battered by these people." You never did. Because I'm not that guy, man.
