We Can Make It Problem

[00:00:00]Greetings everyone. This is Jeff. I have a YouTube channel called Honor Your Oath: Civil Rights Investigations that I established on my birthday back in January of 2011. I am here in downtown St. Augustine, Florida to celebrate America's 250th birthday by engaging in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly on traditional public forums.

[00:00:21]And what I also do when I do this is a constitutional rights investigation to see if our constitutional rights are respected, specifically our first amendment protected rights. And one of the things that my constitutional rights investigations have revealed is this unholy alliance between local businesses, specifically restaurants and breweries for the most part, and local law enforcement.

[00:00:42]Typically, what happens is a restaurant manager will come out and they will say, "I don't want you here. I don't like what you're doing. and I don't want you here. There's no laws being broken or anything like that, but if you don't do what we want, we're going to call the police and have the police come enforce what we want, our wants. As my investigations have revealed, I have been trespassed, detained, threatened with arrest, and arrested multiple times by law enforcement, not because I'm breaking the law, not because a crime is being committed, but because a restaurant or a private business called and said, "We don't want him here." And I have been arrested multiple times on under those exact same circumstances, including the felony arrests down in Flagger Beach, Florida by the city of Flaggler Beach Police, who did exactly what I'm talking about. The funky pelican called the police on me. There was no crime being committed. They told the police we don't want him here. And Sergeant Yelington with the Flagler Beach Police Department was more than happy to come and arrest me and charge me with a felony. So, let's hold this magic cardboard mirror up to society out here and see what's reflected in people's hearts. God bless veterans.

[00:01:44]Please pray for homeless vets and happy birthday USA to evening folks. How are y'all? God bless our homeless veterans everybody.

[00:01:53]God bless vet y'all.

[00:04:10]Um, so I have a man out front panhandling right in front of our doors as guests are trying to walk in. He's like literally like in front of the entrances like trying to stop people as they're coming in the door. And I went out there to ask him nicely and he started going on this rant about how he's not an attorney, but he watched a lot of Schoolhouse of Rock and he can do whatever the [ __ ] he wants and with a sign that says like God bless homeless or something like that. Um, he did get a little verbally aggressive with me when I asked him if he could please move across the street and that he couldn't be in front of our door and he told me when get the [ __ ] out of here. Well, he's just like trying to like as they're walking in the door like give him this stop story of why he needs them to give him.

[00:05:01]>> Did you want to meet with the responding unit that's currently there?

[00:05:05]>> Um, I mean, I I'll be upstairs in the lobby and stuff, but they need they can come in here and talk to me. I'm the man I'm the manager on duty right now. Um, so I'll be up there and around and stuff like that.

[00:05:22]Hello.

[00:05:23]>> Yes, sir.

[00:05:24]>> Hey. Uh, you guys called about some guy.

[00:05:26]>> Yeah, he's just I just try to go out there and talk to him. You know, he was just in front of our door like whatever.

[00:05:31]We have those people that sit across the street all day, but he's like in front of the door as people are walking in. I just try to explain to him like, "Look, like, you know, you can be on that side of the streets traffic."

[00:05:40]>> We just can't be in front of our door as people are walking in because >> was he like standing like right in front of the door? he's been roaming, but he'll stop right in front of the entrance when people are coming in and be like, "Oh, you know, the whole life story." Um, and that's all I told him.

[00:05:53]And then he started going on about, I'm not an attorney, and you know, a lot of these places down here have told me this. Like, yeah, because you're trying to stop people from coming in. And then he just started getting mad and was like, I don't [ __ ] care. Like, get He's like, get the [ __ ] out of my face.

[00:06:07]Like, just leave. All right.

[00:06:10]You guys want him trespassed or >> I mean I don't think we need I just wanted him to understand that like he can't be in front of our like I don't think we need I mean this is the first time I've ever seen this guy. I mean we have a couple of >> Yeah. I mean I might have seen him but you know we have we have like two to three guys that are always consistently out there. I'm sure you know like Christian the older guy with the long white hair comes in and like steals our [ __ ] toilet paper >> and stuff. So >> Deon the one dude with the little dot on his screams. Oh, he sits there from 12 to 7 every day screaming his conspiracy theories. So, I mean, I don't think he needs to be trespassed, >> but obviously if it becomes a consistent problem with his doing this, >> Randy, the general manager, will probably end up trespassing him. I just wanted >> Oh, he's the manager on duty right now.

[00:06:56]Okay. Well, I mean, it's ultimately your decision. Exactly.

[00:06:59]>> Cuz like I mean, you can make that decision without him being here.

[00:07:03]>> I don't I don't think he needs to be trespassed. I think Yeah. I think he was just being kind of a dick and I didn't want it to get I could feel him starting to get a little bit more like angry after talking to him. So, the last thing I wanted was like someone else to go out there and like okay >> and like freak out.

[00:07:21]>> Was uh was any of your um customers like in fear for their life or anything?

[00:07:25]>> No, I mean I had like two I had a couple walk in and just be like, "Hey, like just so you know, this guy's like standing by the door like asking for people."

[00:07:32]>> No, nobody seemed scared or anything.

[00:07:34]No, I mean no one was like I mean the typical people that they see a homeless man like that and they think they're going to kill him. But I mean other than that no one was like >> he didn't make any threats towards any >> I mean it was just people being like hey like just so you know it's a little like I think they were a little more like awkward about it but no one was like scared or anything.

[00:07:53]>> He just started yelling at us.

[00:07:55]>> Yeah. Tell them to calm down.

[00:07:56]>> Yeah. I'm going to step away and that's all I just wanted him to calm down and not like freak out.

[00:08:02]>> Okay. That was my That was my biggest concern as after talking to him, the way he was talking to me, I didn't want it to like escalate to anything bigger than it has to be because I can hear this.

[00:08:13]>> All right, man. Yeah, we we'll just tell him to calm down.

[00:08:15]>> I appreciate you. Would you like to do the honors of telling him to >> do anything wrong?
