00:06:18.400 woman who cared for the toddler said so yeah so she she's just talking about how she hadn't touched
00:06:23.600 the room since this whole incident occurred i'm wondering why we didn't hear him break in she said
00:06:28.000 the day that he was missing i got up late and thought it was weird it was like it's 10 o'clock
00:06:31.680 already you guys so i figured cash was still in bed cash's brother replied he went outside she said
00:06:36.640 she then screamed cash if you're hiding from mommy it's not funny anymore come out it's time for breakfast
00:06:40.880 he wouldn't answer as reports of a body being discovered a half mile away began to circulate
00:06:44.720 charade said she refused to believe it was her toddler i was crying and confused and in a million
00:06:48.800 pieces and praying they would still find cash and that that little boy wasn't cash she said
00:06:53.440 i kept telling my daughter that's not cash the jogger who found cash anthony square told the daily
00:06:58.720 mail she initially thought she stumbled upon a dog before taking a closer look and calling 911 he was
00:07:03.520 only wearing a pair of bottomed shorts square said i just keep remembering those ants at the bottom
00:07:08.880 of that baby's feet brown was an acquaintance of one of her sons and had visited the home two days
00:07:12.960 earlier and interacted with cash which angered her she said she also disputed claims that the
00:07:17.200 boy's biological mother had made efforts to search for them after their father disappeared
00:07:21.440 on monday charade and her parents visited a makeshift shrine for the boy where they lay
00:07:25.520 down a toy dinosaur it was his favorite toy he loved that toy she said he had a bunch of cars
00:07:29.840 and put them around the dinosaur and said look mom i made a monster truck oh i hadn't actually read
00:07:34.560 this before that was a little touching brown is being held on 1.5 million bail and faces kidnapping
00:07:39.280 and theft charges additional charges are expected pending for forensic test results so in another
00:07:43.680 article and i'm not going to read it here because you know there's no point getting into it um but he
00:07:48.000 ended up being declared incompetent to stand trial of course you know real justice will it be served no
00:07:53.760 will he be remembered no no in order in order for him to be remembered he would have to um be black be 0.99
00:08:00.320 fully grown have a rap sheet hold a pregnant woman up at gunpoint uh use counterfeit cash swallow his 0.92
00:08:06.320 stashes at police encounters and overdose himself under a cop's knee then then he'd be worth remembering 0.94
00:08:13.120 but as it is he was just a boy being snatched out of his crib and just taken off and just killed for
00:08:18.080 no reason at all and that's just not worth remembering right i hate to invoke the imagine if
00:08:22.960 the shoe is on the other foot or if the roles were reversed you'd never hear the end of it you will
00:08:27.440 hear george floyd over and over and over again ahmaud arbery trayvon martin george floyd say their
00:08:33.040 names a cab and it will just never end but little boys like cash gurnan who just get you know snatched
00:08:40.640 out of their bed while they're sleeping taken taken out and just stabbed to death yeah not even worth 0.98
00:08:47.120 talking about i guess you know let's just make sure that we keep paying attention to all the black 1.00
00:08:51.520 grievances let's make sure that we hyper focus on you know a handful of particular cases where
00:08:58.160 generally speaking the person that they're grieving um it's their fault you know if they hadn't resisted 0.95
00:09:03.360 arrest if they hadn't acted a fool if they hadn't done a bunch of dumb they'd probably 0.99
00:09:07.520 still be alive but instead they do all that dumb they get killed then they become a 0.99
00:09:12.880 martyr they'll be remembered and people like cash won't so we need to remember him because that's 0.98
00:09:17.760 up i i see no reason to care about black grievances i mean you you look at this stuff even one of these
00:09:22.960 incidents and the fact that it gets swept aside it gets memory hold while we're constantly reminded
00:09:28.880 about george floyd george floyd it's just i don't care i don't care about black grievances and neither
00:09:34.400 should you neither should you we have our own problems and we have lots of problems and they're
00:09:40.080 the cause of a lot of those problems so don't let them grow beat you and shame you and act like
00:09:45.200 everything is your fault and oh look woe is me look at george floyd woe is me ahmaud arbery 0.93
00:09:50.480 trayvon martin what was me say their names bln blah blah blah yeah i don't give a damn about that 0.99
00:09:58.400 shit um and it's because of stuff like this because of stuff like this so just remember that next time 0.99
00:10:05.280 they cry their crocodile tears and you feel tempted to give a damn just don't don't because they don't 0.99
00:10:10.320 give a damn society collectively doesn't give a damn about what happens to our people what happens
00:10:15.120 to our children so if the world's gonna forget them we're not okay let's remember him take a moment 0.97
00:10:19.840 remember him remember all the other children that are being taken from us by them
00:10:26.240 and they're being hushed hushed and not talked about and not constantly thrown in your face
00:10:35.760 statues are not erected in their honor there are not murals there are not rallies and marches there are
00:10:41.200 not burning cities there's not moral outrage you don't have powers and dignitaries all over the
00:10:47.360 world on tv vomiting out their sympathies no one cares just no one cares so we have to care no one
00:10:54.400 cares about cash just like non-whites don't care about whites in general no one cares nobody's gonna 0.97
00:11:00.720 be there for us nobody's gonna be there for people like cash if it's not for us nobody's gonna be there 0.93
00:11:05.600 for us if we don't stand up for ourselves and we're gonna have to we're gonna have to because this is
00:11:10.560 happening to our children and you don't hear a peep we all forget like it just doesn't matter well folks
