It was a to me like a wood. But he like they jumped me. Okay. And then let's say we verify everything. Do you want to press charges or you just you he we spoke to him. We got his side of the story. He said he doesn't want to press charges or anything. Can we uh like go like talk or something like people like Yeah. All right. So he messaged you some stuff on Instagram. I guess you have you had beef before this or is it Okay. So you came over. All right. And what did you guys get in an argument in the gym or what? Yeah, we got an argument there.

Then that's when we started fighting. Okay. Then he hit you with a boat. It's It's say so. So, how do you I haven't seen the video yet. You know, once I review that, you know, we can figure out what's going on. But are you planning on pursuing charges? If they jump if they if they jumped in, then yes, because that's they know if they jumped in. I don't know. Well, yeah, they hit me. Well, yeah, that's true. Cuz I know somebody hit me from the back, so Okay. Yeah. up. You want to pursue, but are you pursuing charges on the person that hit you from the back on him on like all of that? Whoever whoever jumped in because that's that wrong. You're going to jump there four guys versus one guy. Like that's Yeah. Like that's ridiculous. And you're you're using weapons. Like what the hell? So your plan initially you were fine on on fighting him mutually one-on-one but not a bunch of group like a group of people. Okay. Hey. So, I watched the video. The there a guy did pick him away, but he never hit you. He kind of was just holding it above his head. He hit me with a belt. With the with the The guy that you were beefing with did hit you with a belt. Yeah. Okay. But you were you went there to fight him. But he hit me with a weapon. So why didn't Why did you come there in the first place to fight him? He called me to fight. I showed him. So why'd you come? Cuz he told me to. No, but I got a message and you told him left. Hey, can we go? Yeah. So, nobody nobody really jumped you. It was kind of him and you and and people were huddling trying to get him off and whatnot. Sure. Do you have an ID? So, bro, yes. He was here last time when I was like, "Hey, hey, like I don't even And you asked me this question about what if you gave me the scenario and everything and I told you too, you got to be careful with excessive." Yeah, but I No, I didn't talk to you last time. You talked to the other guy. It was me and Cal when we were talking to you. Yeah, I didn't talk to cops last time. When that guy came in tried to fight me, I didn't talk to any cops. Yeah, you did. And then you guys squashed the beef. We were there. Me, Cal, and it was like a Russian or Ukrainian. No, no, no. It was a tall black last time. No, this is the I guess a previous time. I guess we've been here both of the time. How often it happened? Some guy had a beef with your cameraman or something and I don't know. I don't remember that time. All right. So not playing out here, bro. Yeah, but I just What am I supposed to do, bro? I just I mean, [ __ ] dude. You You get pumped up, dude. You're not just We don't know what the [ __ ] I know. The the other guys and they're self-defense. Clear as day. Like, I didn't try to fight the guy to a point. I I get your I get what you're saying, but again, there's there's a point where that that fight ends, a fine line where that fight was over. What are we going to do then? So, this is what we're going to do for now. I'm going to get your information. the the other the male is is back and forth. At first he was telling me, "Oh, I want to he thinks he got jumped." I told him, "Okay, let me review the he thought somebody hit him with a weight and all this." I said, he said he would want to press charges if he on the people that jumped him. Not he said between you and him, it was a one v one. He thought and he thought he got jumped. So I told him, I'll see the video and then we'll go from there. how he's like just tell him to talk out of him and be like, "Dude, Wes would be friends with you. I would be friends with all these people. I I don't want problems." Like I've been telling her like her ex like talks [ __ ] about me online. I'm like I'd be friends with the guy. I don't want like issues with nobody. Like I'd be friends with everybody in here. I don't want no problem. Yeah. So right now he's getting transported to the hospital. Um so a lot of this is dependent on his injuries if they're not major. And then um if he you know in the end of the day I might still document this whether it's criminal or not that's that's different. But if he has no serious injuries it might be you know referred to the state and you'd have to go to the state attorney and and and figure out from there. Okay. So from now I'm going to get your information and then I'll give you case cards and then we'll we'll go from there. Okay. Take our advice because it could deny your head next time. Yeah. Next time kill mother. No, straight up. Because I'm sick of this [ __ ] Like me defending myself even have toing sit here right now. You know how pissed off I am that I get attacked in the gym and this ising happening. Like I'm pissed. I got respect for you guys, but that you guys saw a motherucker attack me and I'm sitting here like I'm ining trouble. I'm leaving. You're fine. Don't worry. We get it. I know. But god, dude. I just was trying to work out. We understand. I know. But that What's your I don't even care anymore. I've been to prison for 10 years. I don't it straight up. Not no disrespect to you guys. It's aing bullit situation. You guys should be like, "No, that that guy was sitting in the corner minding his business and some 7 foot dude tried to fight him. He got a [ __ ] handed to him. That I know, but I don't give a about the line. I I'll literally squish one of their heads. I'll I'll poke their neck in in front of everyone like straight up. I don't give a I know but a member you got your business you don't want to lose any of that. I do it for the fact of human beings and Americans defending themselves. That's fine. But straight up like in in Florida the cops said if they come your house like they say that on on the news in Florida. Yeah. But the the mother came and tried to which is wrong. There is always a threat if he's moving. He could pull out a gun. Admit it. He could pull out a gun. Admit it. I don't know what's in his waistband. What's up, dude? You guys act quit lying. You don't know if a guy's getting up if he has a weapon. Stop lying. All of you. Straight up. I do have a point. So, quit trying to make yours, dude. Straight up. And this is not out of disrespect to you guys. It's It's No, no. I'm not I'm not mad at you or any of you guys. I'm mad at the situation. Straight up. I'm telling you. Yeah, but I want you guys to hear me out and say he could have had a gun and you should have kept you should have him up. I don't know. I want you guys to say that right now. He could have pulled a gun out and you should have kicked him in the face straight up. The second part I can't say, sir. Why? He could have. Sir, we are police officers on the same represent. But if someone's moving still and they've attacked me, I'm going to incapacitate them to where they're not moving so they can't shoot right. Have you ever had a gun pulled on you? I have plenty of times. And we all know the situation. But we need to know that I got I got cut my face. I thought they cut my eyeball out. The guy cut my face like this and it was bleeding so much. Look, when you go to court, that's why if it goes around, you can say, "Hey, I PTSD from this and this and this." And this is why I dealt with that. But but the thing is is I shouldn't even explain that. You guys should be like the dude was chilling. A guy attacked him. He got what he wanted. Yeah. Listen, that's going to be written. And I And we said, I like your I like your demeanor. I like all how you guys all handle it. I wish I was as calm as him. I if I had the calmness like this dude, I'd be better in my life, but I'm not that one. Like, so I'm trying I'm trying to be a calmer dude and a better dude. That's why I'm here. And I help people for a living. We're trying to help you. Yeah. Yeah, we help people. We're trying to help people. Hey, don't take it out of the house. We're trying to prevent something. Okay. Can somebody get a case? It's not what you I wish I was this calm. I I wish I was. No, I I mistake you. That's like a superpower. I mistaked you from someone else. I I remember you because I the swatting incident at your house. That's I wish I was a lot of in my life by me getting agitated. But look how far you got. It's not worth It's not worth you getting jammed up again, bro. You lose everything you make. And then I'm down to get jammed up if people want to come fight me. Well, what am I supposed to do? Get get us get get victimized. And then perfectly, hey, this 7 foot guy tried to fight you. It the the match is over. Wes, that's not how real life works. Like you guys all should be like, hey, that's not how real life works. Like when real life happens and someone comes and attacks you when you're chilling, it's fight or flight. It's life or death. It's not, "Hey, we're in the ring squabbling. Put up your fist to gun. That's not real. Nobody really operates like that in the heat of the moment. Okay, but uh you're talking about a neighborhood hood fight versus a gym public, you know? You know what I'm saying? Like, no, but that was a neighborhood hood fight. That dude look complete. I know. But the thing is, you're going to have a million people, a million cameras. This is a This isn't a hood fight. Cuz a hood fight, you're not going to see any of that. It washes there and it ends there. The guy filmed it. Yeah. And yeah, he himself filmed it and he didn't tell us. But I I get where you're coming from. He he's he made a huge mistake. As far as I know, the dude looked like a gang member who would carry a gun. If you saw a guy like that, wouldn't you think maybe strapped a guy like that, too? No. Exactly. There there's there's the word. Everybody in Miami carries fire. I got I get I got my car detailer. What's up? Like so you said that you were worried that he had a gun and that's why you continued. Yeah, dude. Did that look kind of completely He punched four people. I'll make sure that's my How would you not think he has a firearm? Everybody in Florida has a firearm. Everyone. I don't cuz I'm a felon. So I have to up I'm the only one who can't carry anymore. So I have to beat the out the [ __ ] that you get. Yeah, it is what it is. I'm willing to go to prison. Name badge. This is the case number. It'll be an information report at least. If we can't talk to him or or see if he wants to press the [ __ ] out of say, "Hey, hey, Les would be your friend." Straight up. I wouldn't even give him I'm I'm trying to talk to him. Okay. He He was pushing. Oh, I got jumped. I'm going explain to him, you know, he wasn't really jump. Okay. The fight wasn't changed. It was just you. You guys Wes is pretty strong. He you up. But like the whole thing is it's like don't have long ass girly ass hair if you don't want to get your [ __ ] Man, he probably could have fought better if he didn't have that girly ass hair. Okay. So other than that, if it does get put into like a an assault or whatever, it's going to be referred to the state. So he would himself has to go to the state attorney and present whatever evidence Yeah. And then if they reach out to you, you just present your evidence. I wish I was as calm as all you got. I really After this incident, the man who provoked the fight was treated for his injuries and later filed a report with Miami detectives against Wes, leading to his eventual arrest. Do you believe Wes acted in self-defense or were his actions excessive? In the next part of this series, we'll take a closer look at what happens when officers apprehend and arrest Mr. Watson. Stay tuned.
