Transcript
00:00:12 Kevin
Hey gang, Kevin here, Life 22.
00:00:16 Kevin
I know.
00:00:17 Kevin
You're like, where the hell have you been, Kevin?
00:00:19 Kevin
You said you were going to give us more content, and you haven't.
00:00:23 Kevin
And truth be told, I've been trying.
00:00:26 Kevin
I've been formulating a plan for the channel, for a bunch of other things, and then life happens, right?
00:00:32 Kevin
Like it's been frigid cold out.
00:00:34 Kevin
I run an HVAC business.
00:00:36 Kevin
I'm an HVAC technician for my full-time employer.
00:00:41 Kevin
I have rental properties, frozen water lines, all that other happy stuff.
00:00:46 Kevin
Been jumping on all that thing, all those different things.
00:00:49 Kevin
And I have a family.
00:00:50 Kevin
So I'm drying.
00:00:53 Kevin
I was painting an apartment all day today.
00:00:55 Kevin
And that's why a lot of you are probably like, man, Kevin's been awfully quiet.
00:00:59 Kevin
And not just for the fact that if you're a follower of the channel, you know, I told you guys I'd be getting you more content throughout the week.
00:01:06 Kevin
And I have
00:01:09 Kevin
No, not quite delivered, and I apologize.
00:01:12 Kevin
But for the rest of you who are like, man, Kevin's always been outspoken about this house that is right down the road from his house.
00:01:21 Kevin
And I want to let you know that I wanted to let it digest.
00:01:26 Kevin
I have a lot of feelings.
00:01:27 Kevin
I have a lot of thoughts.
00:01:29 Kevin
And I can tell you that the days are brighter on Grubb Street.
00:01:38 Kevin
There have been, I've been, I've still been sitting back, not sitting back, I've been working, right?
00:01:45 Kevin
But in addition to sitting and working and hearing, and I've been taking in all this information, right?
00:01:51 Kevin
There's been news articles about it.
00:01:53 Kevin
There's been satire news articles about it, which, and I've been reading all the comments and all the different articles across the interwebs over the last couple days, well, since yesterday, when I saw
00:02:07 Kevin
this, what some people are calling a tragic series of events.
00:02:12 Kevin
And it's not really tragic, it's more inevitable.
00:02:15 Kevin
And people who are online, I'm sure, are going to be like, oh, you have a heart, Kevin.
00:02:20 Kevin
They're people too.
00:02:21 Kevin
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, this house, the scourge of our neighborhood, had caught fire yesterday morning.
00:02:29 Kevin
And if you polled every one of the neighbors within like 2 blocks,
00:02:36 Kevin
you'd be hard pressed to find one that wasn't glad that the house caught fire.
00:02:44 Kevin
I talked to one of the neighbors today, and he had pointed out, like, you know, were there any losses in the fire?
00:02:51 Kevin
I said, yes, a dog passed away.
00:02:54 Kevin
And I guess, you know, some organization had to re-home 2 cats.
00:03:01 Kevin
And the sentiment was,
00:03:05 Kevin
had all the residents went up like candles in the house.
00:03:09 Kevin
Nobody, no humans were injured in this house fire, but had all the residents in the house, and visitors gone up like candles, the saddest part would be that the dog got lost in the flames and that a cat, that two cats had to be rehomed.
00:03:30 Kevin
And that seems to be the gist from a lot of the neighbors that I'm talking to anyways.
00:03:35 Kevin
And a lot of people are going to be like, oh my God, how hideous of a person must you best be to think these ways.
00:03:43 Kevin
Listen, I spoke with somebody this morning about this.
00:03:52 Kevin
We have tried everything, to get through to these people.
00:03:57 Kevin
that it is not okay to sell drugs in our neighborhood, it's not okay to do drugs in our neighborhood.
00:04:02 Kevin
I'm talking about, we have 25, 30 homes in a two block radius of that house.
00:04:13 Kevin
And you say each home has three people in it, right?
00:04:18 Kevin
You know, so you say, okay, you know, on average, right, there's some homes that are vacant and there's some homes that might have five or six.
00:04:25 Kevin
So let's say 4.
00:04:26 Kevin
if it's each one of those homes, so I mean, you're talking like 100 people, right?
00:04:32 Kevin
100 people in a two-block radius.
00:04:37 Kevin
And this house was bringing in non-residents to our neighborhood in the 20 an hour rate.
00:04:48 Kevin
It's been a little slower recently, but over the summer, it's easily 50 different individuals an hour.
00:04:53 Kevin
An hour coming and going out of this house.
00:04:56 Kevin
And it really upsets your neighborhood when 50% of a two-block radius influxes in vehicles, on foot traffic, cutting through backyards, stealing property off of people's porches.
00:05:10 Kevin
And so you can only imagine a lot of the grief of the neighbors who have to deal with this.
00:05:15 Kevin
And so it's one of those, you know, hey, I'm sorry that we've gotten hardened to the situation.
00:05:23 Kevin
We've become cold and callous, but it would be true of any neighborhood and most patrons of most neighborhoods if this was in your neighborhood.
00:05:33 Kevin
I have a lot of respect for the police department and they could not do anything.
00:05:36 Kevin
They actually, you know, they were sorry that they can't do anything.
00:05:39 Kevin
Their hands are tied by New York State law and it stinks and we have to deal with it.
00:05:44 Kevin
We have to deal with it as a community.
00:05:47 Kevin
I spoke, the person I spoke with this morning, I said, we tried everything.
00:05:51 Kevin
my wife and the neighbors would get together and they would document people coming and going.
00:05:56 Kevin
They'd call them out.
00:05:57 Kevin
Some people gave us grief about us calling them.
00:05:59 Kevin
Oh, you know, they have a problem.
00:06:01 Kevin
They have a problem.
00:06:02 Kevin
You have to you have to deal with it.
00:06:04 Kevin
You know, they have to deal with it.
00:06:06 Kevin
Well, I'm sorry.
00:06:07 Kevin
No, we don't have to deal with their problem if they're not going to solve it.
00:06:10 Kevin
You can't just sit there and turn a blind eye.
00:06:13 Kevin
Oh, that's, you know, it's the same thing.
00:06:16 Kevin
You know, it's like, oh, well, it's not your business.
00:06:19 Kevin
Well,
00:06:20 Kevin
When it's affecting my kids, when it's affecting our neighborhood, it is my business.
00:06:25 Kevin
That's like saying, oh, Jim the neighbor, I'm trying to think of it, I don't even have a neighbor named Jim, but Jim the neighbor diddles his son, right?
00:06:36 Kevin
Well, it's like, well, it's none of your business.
00:06:37 Kevin
Well, no, at a certain point, it becomes my business because certain behavior,
00:06:42 Kevin
is just unacceptable in our society.
00:06:45 Kevin
And it can be a problem.
00:06:46 Kevin
Like if somebody was a raging alcoholic, you wouldn't allow them to wander the streets and start, being loud and obnoxious and catcalling and yelling and harassing neighbors and dropping beer bottles and smashing them and becoming violent and belligerent.
00:07:03 Kevin
If Jim started beating his wife because he was a raging alcoholic, I get to step in too.
00:07:09 Kevin
You know what I mean?
00:07:09 Kevin
And these are the things that we had to deal with.
00:07:12 Kevin
And it wasn't just, there was, sure, there were some people partaking in alcohol, but most of it was meth, heroin, just crack.
00:07:20 Kevin
There was things that like you just, the amount of different kinds of drugs that were going in and out of that house, the amount of traffic coming in and out of that house, to the point that I, there was one guy that lived upstairs
00:07:35 Kevin
And I just, he had to transfer, he had to get, he got relocated to Salamanca and he was like, man, he's like, my electrics got shut off because somebody downstairs had theirs shut off.
00:07:44 Kevin
The house is like wired incorrectly.
00:07:47 Kevin
And he was a nice guy.
00:07:48 Kevin
He had been a friend of ours for a while.
00:07:51 Kevin
He was stuck in a crappy building between multiple owners.
00:07:54 Kevin
There was, you know, and I, and I feel, I feel for him, you know, and so I gave him a lift.
00:08:01 Kevin
He was like, hey man,
00:08:03 Kevin
I got to get out of here.
00:08:04 Kevin
I found a place.
00:08:05 Kevin
I got to go.
00:08:06 Kevin
And I gave him a lift to Salamanca.
00:08:09 Kevin
And he got out of there.
00:08:10 Kevin
Him and his dog got out of there.
00:08:12 Kevin
And he's, you know, he's in a nicer neighborhood.
00:08:17 Kevin
Obviously, until today, now our neighborhood's super nice, right?
00:08:20 Kevin
And minus the eyesore building.
00:08:22 Kevin
And actually, not even true, because, like, there's still squatters coming and going into that building.
00:08:26 Kevin
Like, as if they're going to find something that didn't make it through the fire.
00:08:32 Kevin
That's, the sad reality of it.
00:08:34 Kevin
But he was threatened.
00:08:38 Kevin
They threatened him.
00:08:40 Kevin
They were going to beat the Christ out of him.
00:08:42 Kevin
They beat, they knocked his door in when he was at work.
00:08:46 Kevin
They've destroyed his apartment.
00:08:48 Kevin
They did the same thing to a girl downstairs who was in the drug program.
00:08:52 Kevin
She, you know, she came yelling, crying to us neighbors, you know, like, hey, what do I do?
00:08:58 Kevin
You know, I have kids.
00:09:00 Kevin
She moved out.
00:09:01 Kevin
So essentially there were no children in the home.
00:09:03 Kevin
None of the people that were coming and going out of that house.
00:09:08 Kevin
I know quite a few of them.
00:09:11 Kevin
They're regulars in Olean.
00:09:12 Kevin
Like you see them and you're like, yep, nope, she lost her kids.
00:09:15 Kevin
That guy lost his kids.
00:09:16 Kevin
That guy just got out of prison.
00:09:18 Kevin
So none of these people in the house should have been allowed to take care of children.
00:09:23 Kevin
They shouldn't have had any kids living with them.
00:09:25 Kevin
And you know what the funny part is, that this girl that moved out with her kids,
00:09:30 Kevin
She was the only other one besides the guy upstairs who we knew.
00:09:34 Kevin
And there was one girl in the back who have lease agreements.
00:09:37 Kevin
All the remaining people just kind of wandered into vacant apartments and they were squatting.
00:09:42 Kevin
And because the owner's not from in town, people got, you know, people get, you know, they're, well, they're not squatters because, you know, blah, blah, blah.
00:09:53 Kevin
They've been living here for 30 days.
00:09:54 Kevin
It's like just because the landlord didn't notice and somebody's living in a vacant building,
00:09:59 Kevin
two vacant apartments.
00:10:00 Kevin
And then what happened is they scared that girl out.
00:10:02 Kevin
They wandered into her apartment.
00:10:04 Kevin
Now all of a sudden you've got three apartments.
00:10:08 Kevin
And then we helped relocate the last guy.
00:10:16 Kevin
And I know there were evictions going down.
00:10:19 Kevin
And isn't that the case?
00:10:20 Kevin
Because there was one over in, there was one over in East Olean, not East Olean, but like east of center.
00:10:26 Kevin
of Olean and the lady got an eviction notice and she's in jail right now because she, the day they, the day before they were going to evict her, she set the house on fire and the apartment still sits vacant, and it's one of those like she went to jail over the whole ordeal.
00:10:42 Kevin
It's just, you know, who knows?
00:10:47 Kevin
We don't know what's going to come of this.
00:10:48 Kevin
I'm sure there's fire investigators and stuff like that are looking into this.
00:10:52 Kevin
It's just, it's obnoxious.
00:10:55 Kevin
It's obnoxious.
00:10:56 Kevin
And, we could, I could go there.
00:11:00 Kevin
This has been going on for so long.
00:11:03 Kevin
Also, most of you, if you don't know me from this podcast, you also probably don't know, or maybe you do know, that me and my wife and the neighbors in our neighborhood were instrumental in starting the Where the Sirens Aren't.
00:11:16 Kevin
So we started that because the cops couldn't come here.
00:11:19 Kevin
Well, they could, but they really weren't able to do anything because their hands were tied.
00:11:23 Kevin
So we became the group that we are where the sirens aren't.
00:11:25 Kevin
And we became a neighborhood watch motivated group.
00:11:28 Kevin
So that's the only good thing that came from those people living in my neighborhood was it caused somebody like me, who has a lot of fight in his blood, to say, hey, we're watching you.
00:11:39 Kevin
And they would call out people.
00:11:41 Kevin
So going back to that, the girls would call out people.
00:11:45 Kevin
They would write down names and times and, hey, this person went in with an empty backpack and they came out and it's full and they're talking openly about the drugs they just got, how they traded food stamps for, just the litany of crimes.
00:11:59 Kevin
And it's like, well, that's just hearsay.
00:12:01 Kevin
Well, that's fine.
00:12:02 Kevin
But you know that they're doing something wrong and there's nothing anybody can do about it.
00:12:07 Kevin
So I'm sorry that like I don't have any remorse
00:12:14 Kevin
for the people in this house.
00:12:17 Kevin
We did one of these podcasts the other day that on New Year's Day, we got woken up because somebody was beating down the door of the house next door because he was high and drunk and at the wrong residence.
00:12:35 Kevin
It's just, you know, or the fact that we had
00:12:39 Kevin
We've had these people, they wander the neighborhood.
00:12:41 Kevin
They know that we're monitoring them.
00:12:43 Kevin
We know that we're doing this and we're doing that.
00:12:46 Kevin
We've called them out like, hey, and we'll be open about it because we know who was operating most of the drugs out of that building.
00:12:54 Kevin
We know the name of the guy who was running the apartment, claiming to have lived there, and then allowing the drug dealer to deal out of that apartment.
00:13:04 Kevin
And that individual who is
00:13:10 Kevin
dealing, the individual who lived in the apartment and pretended to live there, pretended like he had a lease agreement, which is funny because there's no lease agreement documentation.
00:13:19 Kevin
He just happened to wander into an apartment and claim it as his own.
00:13:25 Kevin
He, his name is Curtis Ford.
00:13:28 Kevin
His name is Curtis Ford.
00:13:30 Kevin
And we've been following him.
00:13:32 Kevin
We've been monitoring his activities.
00:13:34 Kevin
We've been doing a bunch of other things.
00:13:36 Kevin
And, you know, we were
00:13:39 Kevin
Listen, man, this one's for you, Curtis.
00:13:42 Kevin
I don't forget.
00:13:48 Kevin
I don't forget.
00:13:49 Kevin
I don't forget the threats that you've made towards my family.
00:13:53 Kevin
I don't forget the **** you put my family through, the drugs that you peddled in my community.
00:14:00 Kevin
Like, I'm not going to forget this.
00:14:03 Kevin
Okay?
00:14:07 Kevin
Because of Curtis, back to the audience, because of Curtis and the fact that we were calling him out and causing his business harm, he would have these drug addicts going around the neighborhood asking other people and inquiring with tenants and neighbors and residents of our neighborhood, like, hey,
00:14:28 Kevin
We have a friend, he wants to know, what's the guy at the corner's name?
00:14:31 Kevin
Oh, what are his kids' names?
00:14:33 Kevin
Yeah, they were inquiring about all these different things.
00:14:35 Kevin
They were trying to build evidence on us.
00:14:37 Kevin
Not evidence on us, but they wanted to gather information on us.
00:14:40 Kevin
Like, oh, you know what I mean?
00:14:42 Kevin
And then they started, it was weird because right around the time the kids started going back to school, all of a sudden you had like drug addicts coming out of the house around school hours watching.
00:14:52 Kevin
Okay?
00:14:52 Kevin
You had people driving by.
00:14:56 Kevin
Curtis drove by a couple times on his bike.
00:14:58 Kevin
And then he was like, we're watching you.
00:15:00 Kevin
We're watching you.
00:15:01 Kevin
know what?
00:15:02 Kevin
Good.
00:15:02 Kevin
Watch.
00:15:04 Kevin
And they did.
00:15:05 Kevin
And they continued to watch.
00:15:06 Kevin
And then they had cars come by and roll down the window and be like, you really, you really need to calm down.
00:15:12 Kevin
You really need to watch yourself.
00:15:14 Kevin
Watch your step.
00:15:15 Kevin
Right?
00:15:16 Kevin
Well, I'm not going to watch my step.
00:15:18 Kevin
I'm not going to pick up and move.
00:15:19 Kevin
This is my house.
00:15:20 Kevin
This is my neighborhood.
00:15:22 Kevin
Get the **** out.
00:15:23 Kevin
And that is what our motto was.
00:15:26 Kevin
since this whole ordeal started.
00:15:28 Kevin
And now, if you follow the channel, I've been reading the Bible.
00:15:35 Kevin
I've been praying a little bit.
00:15:37 Kevin
And you know what?
00:15:39 Kevin
I guess prayers work.
00:15:40 Kevin
I guess somebody up there is listening because
00:15:42 Kevin
because when I prayed for them out of my neighborhood...
00:15:48 Kevin
Here's to you, big guy.
00:15:50 Kevin
I'm starting to believe a little bit more every single day.
00:15:55 Kevin
Which is funny, because before I started reading the Bible, I bought 10 Bibles.
00:16:01 Kevin
And that's something I told this gentleman this morning that I was speaking to, who's...
00:16:05 Kevin
a friend of mine.
00:16:06 Kevin
And I said, hey, I was like, we've been dealing with this **** for so long.
00:16:09 Kevin
We've tried everything to the point that I bought 10 Bibles.
00:16:12 Kevin
They're still sitting in my studio.
00:16:14 Kevin
And I was going to go over there and just handing them out, hand them out to people because we've done everything aside from handing out Bibles to these people.
00:16:22 Kevin
Like, I mean, we have done everything from call the police.
00:16:25 Kevin
We've had social workers come there.
00:16:27 Kevin
We've had caseworkers.
00:16:29 Kevin
Everything that we've done over there has come out of my pocket to try to help and try to get this remediated.
00:16:35 Kevin
We've tried aggression.
00:16:37 Kevin
We've tried helping hands.
00:16:39 Kevin
We've tried just everything.
00:16:41 Kevin
The entire gambit we have tried and to no avail, to no avail, except for apparently prayer.
00:16:48 Kevin
Apparently prayer.
00:16:50 Kevin
So, so yeah, I mean, this this thing is this is and then and then and then here's the other thing.
00:17:03 Kevin
I'm sure most of you out there have dealt with vampires, not in real life, but have dealt with watching a movie or a TV series or read books about vampires, right?
00:17:13 Kevin
And then they bite you.
00:17:14 Kevin
And yet there's always some scene, right, where like the vampire bites somebody's child, right?
00:17:20 Kevin
And you're like, oh no, oh no.
00:17:22 Kevin
And you know, then they turned.
00:17:23 Kevin
And then they bite the person on scene, right?
00:17:27 Kevin
Or they bite the other loved one or another child and you're like, it's consuming my family.
00:17:34 Kevin
And there is no loyalty amongst these monsters that these drugs have created, right?
00:17:39 Kevin
These drugs are essentially vampirism.
00:17:43 Kevin
When they bite somebody, that's why they want you to put caps on needles so you don't get bit.
00:17:49 Kevin
They bite somebody, and then that person turns into a soulless demon, and then they start biting more people.
00:17:57 Kevin
And here's a perfect example, is that we've already described that nobody in that house had custody of children.
00:18:03 Kevin
at least children that were of age to have custody of.
00:18:11 Kevin
And then we live near a school.
00:18:16 Kevin
We're walking distance from the school.
00:18:19 Kevin
There's a lot of kids that walk up and past my house and
00:18:23 Kevin
I could probably pick some out of a lineup.
00:18:25 Kevin
If you said, like, hey, I don't know half their names, you know what I mean?
00:18:28 Kevin
Like, I just, I probably know two names because I know the neighbors with kids that go to the high school.
00:18:35 Kevin
But there's kids walking to the high school and the middle school, and there's a couple kids, and I don't know their parents, I don't know their names, and they stop into that house in the morning, and then they come out.
00:18:50 Kevin
And it's been happening since the beginning of the school year.
00:18:53 Kevin
And no one's doing anything about it.
00:18:55 Kevin
They're not visiting any of the parents because there's no parents in there.
00:18:59 Kevin
It's just very funny that that's happening.
00:19:02 Kevin
And then it's like, man, drug dealers who live near schools, you know what they do?
00:19:07 Kevin
They sell drugs to kids because you got to start them young and they're going to trick them out.
00:19:12 Kevin
And that's what happens.
00:19:13 Kevin
And that's the ****** part.
00:19:14 Kevin
And that's why me and my wife make a stand.
00:19:16 Kevin
That's why me and my neighbors make a stand.
00:19:24 Kevin
It also saddens me, like one of the instrumental neighbors in starting the neighborhood watch with us, Emma Ramos, she was an awesome person.
00:19:34 Kevin
She was a foster mom.
00:19:36 Kevin
She passed away a few months ago.
00:19:38 Kevin
And it's with great sadness that she was not able to see the day that her neighborhood became ours again.
00:19:49 Kevin
And I'm sure she's smiling down on us, because Emma was, she was a traditional mom.
00:20:02 Kevin
She was, she had that, she was a strong-willed Puerto Rican woman, and she had that, hey, she had that backhand that would come up and, hey, don't talk to me that way.
00:20:14 Kevin
She, they did not speak
00:20:18 Kevin
Those drug addicts did not speak kindly of her.
00:20:22 Kevin
They would call her fat.
00:20:24 Kevin
They called her the C-word.
00:20:26 Kevin
And she took it and she grinned.
00:20:28 Kevin
And she grinned.
00:20:33 Kevin
Because she knew.
00:20:35 Kevin
She knew that they'd get there someday.
00:20:40 Kevin
The dealers and the drug addicts leave your neighborhood.
00:20:47 Kevin
Eventually they leave your neighborhood in a body bag with a backpack full of their only life's possessions because, their needles got incinerated.
00:21:03 Kevin
I'm hardened to the situation and you can see why.
00:21:06 Kevin
It's not just, you can't just sit there and say, hey, you can't say that because blah, blah, blah.
00:21:12 Kevin
No, you just heard.
00:21:14 Kevin
21 and a half minutes of my rant about this.
00:21:18 Kevin
And if you follow the channel, you know we've been dealing with this nonsense forever.
00:21:22 Kevin
They leave garbage on the streets.
00:21:24 Kevin
They leave needles on the streets.
00:21:27 Kevin
They stalk and harass when you try to prevent them from doing their drugs.
00:21:30 Kevin
They're biting kids, turning them into vampires too.
00:21:33 Kevin
Like, and that, you know what?
00:21:36 Kevin
This isn't the end.
00:21:39 Kevin
This isn't the end.
00:21:41 Kevin
Eventually that house is gonna come down.
00:21:43 Kevin
And here's the other part of this little video we're doing here.
00:21:45 Kevin
And I'm probably going to break this up into shorts because as a community member, as a person who used to be a former alderman, you know what's going to happen to that house?
00:21:56 Kevin
It's going to have to come down.
00:22:02 Kevin
What's going to happen is the landlord's not going to take it down.
00:22:05 Kevin
The property owner's not going to take it down.
00:22:08 Kevin
The city's going to have to step in and take that down.
00:22:12 Kevin
And what happens when the city takes it down?
00:22:14 Kevin
They're going to, if they do it right, they'll be able to get a personal judgment against that owner.
00:22:26 Kevin
It's an LLC, so I don't know how they're going to do that.
00:22:32 Kevin
But they'll get a personal judgment against that owner.
00:22:39 Kevin
or that LLC, and then it can just be disbanded and its debts are absolved.
00:22:47 Kevin
And then, what do you do?
00:22:50 Kevin
What do you do?
00:22:52 Kevin
You put it on their taxes.
00:22:53 Kevin
You put it on their taxes.
00:22:55 Kevin
You can put it on their taxes.
00:22:57 Kevin
Well, I mean, if there's no other assets by the LLC, you'd have to put it, just rely on that and putting it on their taxes.
00:23:02 Kevin
And then what are you going to do?
00:23:06 Kevin
It goes to taxes.
00:23:07 Kevin
The county clears the loan, clears the lien.
00:23:11 Kevin
They just, the taxpayers pay for it.
00:23:17 Kevin
And here's my other plight, and here's something that I hope the new mayor understands, and I hope that the Common Council takes recognition of, is that the
00:23:40 Kevin
There's nothing on the books that's going to prevent, let's say this person had insurance to cover the property and their losses.
00:23:48 Kevin
Well, if he was bank financed, the bank would require it, right?
00:23:53 Kevin
And it would be to clear the loan.
00:23:56 Kevin
And then if there's any money left over, if there's a demolition line item in that insurance, it would cover that.
00:24:05 Kevin
If he had insurance and he didn't owe any money to a bank, he gets to take that money.
00:24:09 Kevin
And there's nothing that forces the city.
00:24:13 Kevin
I know code enforcement's talked about it, but there is 0 teeth to make an insurance company pay the city for rental property or personal property or whatever.
00:24:25 Kevin
It doesn't matter.
00:24:26 Kevin
There's no teeth that allows that to happen.
00:24:30 Kevin
So what ends up happening is the landlord takes the money,
00:24:35 Kevin
unless the house sit.
00:24:36 Kevin
The city tears it down, puts a lien against the LLC.
00:24:39 Kevin
Meanwhile, the money has been siphoned out of the LLC, and by the time you actually get a judgment against this LLC or this individual, the money's gone.
00:24:49 Kevin
It's gone.
00:24:51 Kevin
Like a cigarette.
00:24:55 Kevin
By the time you smoke a cigarette, that money's been shifted.
00:24:58 Kevin
It's been zelled somewhere else.
00:25:05 Kevin
And there's nothing on the books that allows them to stop that from happening.
00:25:08 Kevin
So I don't know what you do.
00:25:10 Kevin
As a taxpayer, I don't like it.
00:25:14 Kevin
I would like to see a vacant lot there in place of that monstrosity of a house that's been, you know, a tombstone of dreams and what have you for years.
00:25:31 Kevin
I would hate
00:25:39 Kevin
I'm, my neighborhood is better off with a vacant lot there.
00:25:48 Kevin
For safety concerns, it's not better off with a burnt down house still standing, a burnt up house still standing, but it's better off than it was as a property that was allowing people to live there and do drugs and corrupt our neighborhood like cancer.
00:26:03 Kevin
So I'm appreciative of that.
00:26:07 Kevin
I'm not appreciative of, and I hope that owner did not have insurance.
00:26:20 Kevin
Because the city wouldn't get it anyways, so why not?
00:26:24 Kevin
I would hope that owner did not have insurance, not to screw the community, but just so that like he doesn't have any, he doesn't gain from it either.
00:26:41 Kevin
What he did to our community, by his negligence, by his lack of involvement, is just as bad.
00:26:52 Kevin
Not just as bad, but almost as bad as the people that were there.
00:27:05 Kevin
So
00:27:07 Kevin
We're going to be doing a whole bunch.
00:27:10 Kevin
Here's your content, guys.
00:27:12 Kevin
That house coming down, that house burning down yesterday is just the beginning of the content that's coming out of this channel.
00:27:20 Kevin
I've been putting a dossier together, and here's going to be, here's your premiere trailer right here.
00:27:25 Kevin
We've been putting a dossier together about all the individuals that have been in that house.
00:27:31 Kevin
They've been coming and going out of that house.
00:27:34 Kevin
Mainly main players,
00:27:36 Kevin
But we have lists of people that have come and gone out of that house, including the kingpin himself.
00:27:45 Kevin
So Curtis, I'm not going to forget you.
00:27:57 Kevin
And my wife was reluctant about me.
00:28:06 Kevin
name dropping and calling you guys out.
00:28:09 Kevin
Because she was a little afraid.
00:28:11 Kevin
But we had a gun cleaning party this summer in the front yard and well, my aim's not so bad.
00:28:23 Kevin
So I'm not too worried about defending my home.
00:28:27 Kevin
Never have been.
00:28:28 Kevin
I'm not going to start now.
00:28:30 Kevin
I'm going to defend my home.
00:28:36 Kevin
Come get some.
00:28:38 Kevin
I've got new surveillance cameras up everywhere.
00:28:44 Kevin
And I'm not afraid of you.
00:28:45 Kevin
And I'm not talking to you, Curtis.
00:28:46 Kevin
I'm talking to the entire organization that your buddy, Adonis Linder, has put together.
00:28:55 Kevin
Adonis, we're coming from you.
00:28:58 Kevin
We're coming for you and your entire
00:29:02 Kevin
network.
00:29:05 Kevin
So stay tuned because we're going to break down how Adonis, who is only its biggest drug dealer, he moves more drugs into our area than any other individual.
00:29:21 Kevin
We're going to break down where he's on property.
00:29:25 Kevin
We're going to break down
00:29:27 Kevin
his past criminal records.
00:29:29 Kevin
We're going to break down how he came to being the drug kingpin of Olean himself, how he operates, where he operates, what he operates in, who his associates are.
00:29:40 Kevin
So if you're an associate of Adonis Lender, I'd make yourself scarce because you're about to be on Kevin's Netflix, baby.
00:29:49 Kevin
We are taking down your organization.
00:29:55 Kevin
One drug addict at a time.
00:29:58 Kevin
putting out the entire, man, you're going to be so popular.
00:30:05 Kevin
I'm going to make you so famous that not, and none of your suppliers out of Buffalo are going to want to touch you because you're going to get them burnt, man.
00:30:17 Kevin
You're going to get them burnt.
00:30:20 Kevin
You're going to be too hot for anyone to touch.
00:30:24 Kevin
So congratulations, Adonis.
00:30:28 Kevin
You're famous.
00:30:30 Kevin
You're famous.
00:30:32 Kevin
And for a little town like Olean, it says a lot.
00:30:37 Kevin
So stay tuned, gang.
00:30:39 Kevin
We're going to be breaking this down.
00:30:42 Kevin
And I hope you enjoy as this is what drug dealers have pushed me to do.
00:30:50 Kevin
They've pushed me to dismantle their organizations.
00:30:53 Kevin
Dismantle
00:30:55 Kevin
Goodbye.
00:30:56 Kevin
You're not selling drugs in my neighborhood.
00:30:58 Kevin
You're not selling drugs in my city.
00:31:01 Kevin
Because I live here.
00:31:02 Kevin
My kids live here.
00:31:04 Kevin
I'm going to defend my city from your filth.
00:31:09 Kevin
So with that said, guys, we'll catch you guys next time on Life 22.
