Informant Page #2
He was like, "Brandon."
And I was like, "Oh sh*t,
where are you at?
You don't know what,
the situation I'm in.
Where are you?
Don't tell me you're in Texas."
And he was like, "No,
I'm in this boat with these Rangers."
And I was like, oh sh*t.
It was the Army Rangers who had
initially picked me up.
And they,
they went to his address and got him.
In a moment, in a, you know,
flash of an eye,
how the whole infrastructure
could just dissolve.
I had been surrounded by water by
this time about maybe ten days.
"Your friend sent us to get you.
Do you know Brandon?"
I said,
"Yeah" and I just laughed and said, "Wow."
Brandon calls. "I got King."
And man, I cried.
And I cried, like it was one of
the most joyous times of my life.
hope that he would be alive.
You have all kind of signs
all over the community
saying that we kill looters,
but what constitutes a looter?
Scott:
They put all these really hateful signs.
But then they decided
to take it on themselves
to have armed militia patrols.
These guys were
policing their community,
and they identified
enemy as black.
And so they had in fact
become racist and because
they were armed and they were using that,
they were using force,
they had become
racist militias.
Scott:
We go and we cover up adead body that was bullet-riddled.
And the question is,
who killed this man?
And then there's
another one two streets over.
And I'm like,
who killed this man?
- Was it the vigilantes?
- We shot 'em!
Woman:
They were looters!- You had to do what you had to do.
If you had to shoot somebody
you had to shoot somebody.
Don't go into a white woman's home and
tell her you're gonna take it over.
Woman:
No. You don't do that.- No.
We don't allow
No way is this happening.
Not in front of me, you know?
Not in front of me,
I'm not letting this happen.
Even if it kills me,
it's wrong.
It's just wrong,
I'd rather die saying hell no to this.
And that's what we...
that's the decision we made.
Brandon and I,
when we brought guns,
we brought a lot of
semiautomatic weapons,
we brought a lot
of high-powered rifles.
And we f***ing...
and us and people from this community
sat on the porch
and said, "no more."
Get the f*** out of here.
This is not a place to f*** with.
Like this is...
it's over.
You know I was ready
for guerrilla warfare
and Scott was the one
who was actually
and he was like well we need
to be prepared for that,
if indeed something else happens and they
start trying to kill black people again.
But we also...
here's a chance to organize.
