s China she could track down the guy who did it and he and he's with us Jason
Roberts is the most I've simple misfits
their YouTube channel is YouTube dot com slash simple misfits
and its it's a really amazing piece Jason welcome to the program
they'd rather thanks for joining us sewed
tell us what you did but what you saw what provoked you and what you
accomplished so
were actually here partisan initial idea was
I actually have lost my keys in my car and I had to call AAA
and it happens every once in a while and
when AAA Wright the is trying to break into my car
yet to get my keys and he just happened to be and African American guy
and when I started to notice that they looked around is
that people started Iranian any and maybe so the locksmith was
was black and people were looking at him like what's this guy doing during you
obviously professional had a triple a jacket on
right it yeah he was a professional West somebody actually came out to be a
one-point and I think it the
with you Ryan which issue really shocked me so
I figured out Renae reenact it all processes the
I I would get a sense of how shocked at the
different a the reaction that I got one I went out
and that verses when and my friend clinton
went out and did it and sound and your
your friend your white your friend clinton is black and on the video is
amazing video
you more breaking into your car with a coat hanger
on a SUN a public street is people walking by
for what 30 minutes yes with
well over half an hour yet with the car alarm going off what mom mom ma ma ma
and all these people nobody give you a second look no one said anything
no interest army carpet at one point there there were
a a police car literally drove by
and stopped for a light next to you as you are breaking into your car
and then continued going when the light changed didn't even notice me
yeah so then what happened when you're when you're a dear friend who was ever
an American
but broke into your car so we we set up the camera
I this family that's why it is a Spanish very fast by
I I noticed that they stop and a this very experienced the
already started looking at quentin and what he was doing a really noticed onee
trying to break into the car three minutes later the car so I i
didn't I couldn't get the for asia the family calling
II thawing their phone out west they kept going in and out of the store
my double check out what's going on in sure nothing is where the car
over there with cs5 life-size so
you breakin date you with the white guy break into your own car
for 30 minutes nobody says anything your friend
after American guy breaks into your car within two ministers by police
and they didn't just like come by date putting up against the wall
yes they also put me up against the wall worry
baby day
took it to a whole nother level I didn't think that
it was necessary when they have 5 patrol quite chenecocs
their I eric *** the how fast they were
I heard how it got there about me my fell in circles career not
yeah I don't think that he would have to be taken to the level I love
being handcuffed and background checked
even though I through the car that that was in fact my car
and II and this was your friend when you asked him to open the door for you
exactly and at that point what were they thinking of charging you with something
a min knew it would
not sure they they let go a
with no charges with a nice to you at that point her I mean did be
I read the the
weren't happy about the prank they weren't necessarily nice
but right they understood that any idea they
wasn't a serious matter who is just a prank
reading the cops black press badges are
on not a recall
yeah remember Asian in way yeah okay
arm so what's the carry home message
that you got actually I think I C A one police officer might be african-american
I'm looking at the
at the at the club right now um who all this the guy handcuffed
our own as your friend whose handcuffed yeah ok am looking at a freeze-frame
here
arm so so what's the carry home for you Jason what's the what's the lesson he
learned from this new you try to share with people I put this up on youtube you
could see it over you to dot com slash
simple misfits well
I wouldn't say iraqi keep an eye out area
II didn't make this video engineer to get this video is it's more of a social
experiment
my own fine I but
yeah just well in the in the waco upstart
are still very much alive you know we we don't
think that it is don't believe there is and we believe like every every one
is as treated equally very high
I just guy I think your timing on on this thing
I mean this is just a couple days after a white guy gets off
for murdering a a black kid you know and and its
a and bay and basically his defense was he was black and so I was afraid of him
you and so cared about that and so so here we have is in your case
you know white guys could break into cars black guys can't
and even even when they on the car and Kate you know
so this is really I'm a commentary on
the fact that racism or or even
I'm sure you call racism racial awareness fear brace whatever
hereof other is alive and well in america that was is a largely white
neighborhood or was it a mixed neighborhood or was it it that the
you're doing this
most people walk by seem to me to be white
on this in hollywood in hollywood okay
in in Bay City Central LA yet in central LA so there's a large black population
but Hollywood is mostly over a white community
some so your friend probably
i think is pretty multicultural but yeah up
yeah amazed amazing story
