My my concern is the the initial blow is a shove. I mean, it's a hard shove. There's no question about it. >> Mhm. >> But the next the next one is the bringing the knife up. There wasn't a punch. It was first first reaction was the knife came up. >> Well, I mean, I'm in my pants, man. I'm talking about I don't know if you got a gun. >> I don't know if you branding a weapon.

I'm trying to do you know I'm looking cuz I don't know if somebody with him out there. I really don't know. But I'm like, man, I don't know if somebody going to run up. I don't I don't know. >> Here here's my other issue with it. >> Mhm. >> He didn't he wasn't in the apartment. He got into the He went into the entryway. >> Mhm. >> He couldn't get through that door until you opened it. >> Right. Okay. I understand. >> I mean that. So, >> I understand that >> that's where where the problem kind of all kicks off >> Mhm. >> is because he's on that side of a locked door. You're on this side. >> Hey, what you talking about? I shouldn't even open the door. >> Yeah. I mean, once that door opens, >> but look, okay, I'm I'm going to go. I understand where you trying. >> You see where I'm coming from? >> I'm I'm tell you where I'm going. This is my place to stay. This is my place of living. This is where I live. This is my home. If a person can come to your house and do something and then you can't come out your door. I'm just saying this is my place. What's that? >> There are almost 900 of your police officers >> that can come help you and take care of this without you having to. >> Mhm. Well, why they didn't come for him? >> Cuz you never called them. >> I'm talking about with all this stuff going on. What? What I'm saying if you >> When did you Bruce Fry >> this girl? This girl made a call. I didn't call. I didn't call. >> Bruce Fry is the one getting threat. >> I didn't make I didn't make no I didn't make that call. >> I didn't call. >> You didn't call? So even though Even though this girl makes a call saying there's guys in here kicking on a door, they don't get to talk. They don't talk to you because they don't know to come talk to you. >> Mhm. >> You're later, you're in the apartment now. This dude this dude shows up. You're not even sure if it's the same dude that was up at your apartment door and you know that he's because when you're standing on the other side of the locked door before you open it, he's already talking [ __ ] to you, right? Mhm. Hey, can you send one of my 900 police officers that I'm paying for? Can you send one couple of them over here? >> Mhm. >> They like to drive fast. They got flashing lights. They like to come fast. >> Okay. >> You know, that's what we're here for. >> To help you so you don't end up in that situation. >> Mhm. If you know, well, can I say something? >> Sure. >> I didn't take no first blow. I know. >> Let me get this right with you, bro. >> I didn't take no first blow. >> Look, Bruce, I'm not saying he did. >> He in my place, man. >> Mhm. >> I'm not in his place. He in where I live at. He swings at me. >> What wrong when you swing at a person anyway? You swing throw your punch at me. >> Mhm. I'm defending myself anyhow. I I not didn't come to mess with you. I'm not looking for you. You come looking for me. You been beating [clears throat] on my doors. See what I'm saying? >> But do you know that he was? >> I don't know who these That's what I said again. I don't know who all these people are. I really don't. >> Okay, >> let's let's get these girls out of the way. So they >> So what I have to do what you know going from here? Where we going? Once once we get this part done, then I've got to grab something. I'll then I'll come back in here. Okay. >> Okay. >> Is it any lawyers? Do I have you know cuz I ain't calling nobody. You >> I don't have any. >> Mhm. >> Um I mean they're all over the place. So hang tight there. Okay. Hey, what they looking for on my on my ass? Uh, what they looking for on my arm? >> Well, sometimes, you know, in these things, you get cuts on your hands or, you know, especially when somebody's like really trying to bury a knife in somebody, their hands will slip down the slip down the blade and cut their hands open. This just shows that that's not the case. So you don't have to cuz they'll literally you'll see that >> that mean though when you saying that that mean when you say your hand slipped and >> Yeah. So the hand like slips down the blade slips off the handle and onto the blade. So it's just showing that that didn't happen to you >> like Okay. Do they breathe something like you trying or you >> Well, it just shows that it shows that it wasn't it wasn't a situation where you you were going going it was so bad that it cut your hand open. We're just trying to prove that you didn't injure yourself with that thing. That's all. I'm just saying that that sound I know it's I've been up for 30 some hours, so my explanations kind of start falling short. >> All right, I'll be right back in, Bruce. Okay. Do you need anything? >> I want to ask you a question before you go, man. What What do they do? What you coming right back? >> I want to ask you, man.
