Hope you enjoyed today's vid. Gotta go jump into Friday Show! See ya back here tomorrow.
Philip DeFranco thank
I heard you say shishtar shishtar
Philip DeFranco Phil me in daddyDeFranco
Phill I’m gonna be honest I had no idea who the Kardashian’s where or many mainstream people until I started watching your show. I don’t follow them and I really just subscribe to people on TH-cam. Shit I still don’t know most mainstream celebrities.
Philip DeFranco please don't ever stop referring to him as convicted sexual offender Brock turner
Love how phil keeps saying, "convicted sex offender Brock Turner" - make sure they remember
He used to say "rapist Brock Turner". I correct him in my head every time he says "convicted sex offender Brock Turner". LOL?
Fiveohfivethree he doesn’t say rapist Brock Turner anymore because he wasn’t convicted of rape. He was convicted of offenses that qualify him as a sex offender, but he was convicted of intent to rape, which isn’t any better, but it’s different.
Its extremely cringe actually
go read the court dockets and don't take your news on this case from Phil repeating other news sources, your mind will be blown by the court dockets, and testimony, it is nothing like what they are claiming in the news. Such as the two foreign dudes found him on top of her... false according to their testimony he was crawling around they attacked him he tried to crawl away from them. Nothing you think about this case is represented in the court case.
Phil is using classic propaganda tactics to his advantage. He's definitely not above using classic propaganda techniques to get his point across.
As a volunteer firefighter myself in NJ, anyone who is willing to join the frontlines either on the structural or forest side, I 100% respect. Also if an inmate is willing to do something good for the community, allow them to correct their past by doing good for the present and their future.
Exactly! The guys that are sent to "fire camps" are all MODEL prisoners! They don't get sent to fire camps if they were convicted of violent crimes. Most of the guys in fire camps are there for DUIs or minor drug offenses. It's beneficial to the communities where they fight fires and to the men who get to live in these minimum security camps. My son's half-brother was sent to one when he was 20 (he was convicted of a felony DUI at 19) and it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He quit drinking, he learned how to maintain a LOT of different kinds of equipment and it encouraged him to go to college so he could learn to repair and design machinery the right way. He's graduated from college now and is well on his way to becoming a respected member of the mechanical engineering community. None of that would ever have happened for him if he hadn't been sent to a fire camp.
Jeff Saxton Vlogs I'm agreeing. I have a couple guy friends that are volunteer firefighters. I definitely respect the inmates that are volunteering to fight the fires. I live in a small city with about four prisons and they're planning on reopening the prison farm. I think it's great for prisoners to be able to gain skills, help the community and/or something to do other than essentially sit there.
Are American prisons privatized though? I read somewhere that they were.
coffeegirl18 - Not all US prisons are privatised, but many of them are.
I thought it interesting that they had a rule that "arsonists need not apply" but I am pretty glad that they do!
I agree
Outercourse? What?
Zico Tops basically its sexual activity over clothes. Like dry humping, groping over a shirt or pants, etc
Zico Tops the mental gymnastics they had to do
Outercourse is anything you can do that resembles sexual behavior without genital contact. Kissing, sensual massaging, etc...
Usually a term for people who are sexually abstinent due to cultural, religious, health, or personal reasons.
courses taken outside the house
Thank you for calling him what he is, a "Sexual offender" not like other news sources calling him, "former Standford student"
What, you want news broadcast to start saying shit like "OMG CRIMINAL!!" at every crime story? I watch the news to get the news, not that OMG bullshit. That's why I unsubbed from Phil today.
Tyler C. I mean its true especially when he's calling the right title about Brock unless you have a better name.
Tyler C. Also who cares if you unsubbed Phil; life goes on and Brock is a rapist.
FooeyMcgooey - Of course it's true. It's also true that Nazis are racist. Doesn't mean news achors should be going "OMG those racists!" When I see some hoe, I want say "bonerific hoe" but I won't describe her as such when telling the news, no I'll just describe her as "Kim Kardashian" or "reality star" or whatever.
I watched Phil for the news, but he's got a lot of that drama bullshit. I just want the news. I'll get the OMG for pundits and the like.
Tyler C.
Not even one word you say makes any sense.
I love that u keep on referring to that monster as SEX OFFENDER turner
SergioAmigo57 why? He is innocent. The girl lied because she was cheating on her boyfriend
Kool Kids Klan what does this even mean
SergioAmigo57 Huh? You mean, that was not his given name?
So no one should forget that he is.
Quincy Vickers They were at a party and left drunk together and they made out on the floor and they were caught by a Swedish guy and they thought he was raping her. She went along with it because she didn’t want to her boyfriend to find out she cheated on him.
Prisons shouldnt just punish people. It's also for rehabilitation.
If a prisoner wants to serve the community (especially putting their life on the line), more power to them. It should be commendable.
There's no incentive to rehabilitate when there's a for-profit prison system
that's the point of prison. if the exspectation is that once people are released they'll just commit crimes again then you might as well just kill them. If we aren't trying to help these people to become acceptable and law abiding members of society prison has no point but, torture.
"Convicted sex offender brock turner" I love that, some journalists are still labelling him a stanford swimmer as if that is still relevant
I see it as you can either refer to him as a stanford swimmer or a rapist, or just Brock turner.
ninjaguy2511 Or...you know, convicted rapist brock turner. It's a bit of a mouth full but it gets the point across
+ninjaguy2511 no even if you're going easy on him that's going too far.
Its like someone stabbed a guy and was convicted and instead of referring to him as a convicted murderer, you talk about him as former 'pool bar owner'. Classifications like this are put in for a reason.
ninjaguy2511 We ain't calling Jeffrey Dahmer a former chicken tender lover
I wonder why he's not being called "Rapist Brock Turner" like he used to.
DEAR PHILIP DEFRANCO,
Can you PLEASE consider allowing / putting CLOSED CAPTIONS onto your videos for your hearing impaired audience? I have such a hard time following your videos and hate that none offer closed captions. I am sure if you allowed, fans of yours would caption them for free, many YTers do this for their videos. PLEASE ADD CLOSED CAPTIONS as deaf and hearing impaired really miss out otherwise.
THANKS and please consider,
KileyTK, the piss poor lipreader.
Yes! I think some videos have got CCs but no idea why not all of them. I know writing them takes time but I'm sure Phil has some staff that could help, I'm sure it would make a massive difference to those who are hard of hearing, and it would also help English learners who may have a hard time keeping up with fast speech.
Think about it Phil, there is an audience who it would benefit
If you check the gear icon then subtitle/CC and add caption/CC you can get a CC version, like for this one. As you see i'm 5 day later but its there.
That would be cool. Colleen Ballinger just did a video about her deaf brother and how she originally thought the automatically generated captions were accurate. In the end most of them don't make sense and it is an extra expense to have captions put on the videos, but worth it. Try it Phil!
@@mactony4 yes it's available some days later but normally not straight away. Since Phil's content is so current it's no use for it to be available days later when the news have changed. I haven't checked the latest upload so not sure if it's captioned or not
It was probably there sooner but i checked 5 days later and on another video it was still mostly auto generated so it wasn't 100% accurate.
C O N V I C T E D S E X O F F E N D E R B R O C K T U R N E R
Mob I T ‘ S R A P I S T B R O C K T U R N E R
No, it isn't rape.
It's sexual assault. While all rape is sexual assault, not all sexual assault is rape. It's just like with Donald Trump and his stupid face that spouts stupid words: hit them on legitimate points, don't try for wild swings.
sergeantassassin3 well the people who found him said they say him thrusting and got him off of her
dry humping is not rape...
+Carlos I'd advise you look up the legal definition of rape and then get back to me on that.
Not gonna lie, hearing the word "convicted" being repeated so often I thought he'd gotten away with it but it brightened my day hearing his appeal was denied
How coincidental is it that the man who started that fire was named Forrest?
It's vengeance man.
He was annoyed that the forest was getting all the attention
Finally, someone used "coincidental" instead of "ironic".
I make cringy Minecraft Let's Plays can you explain what a wrong with using ironic, I feel dumb now
Tasmiyah Khatun you use irony when, the thing that happens is the exact opposite of what usually occurs or expected to occur. Like an athlete breaking their leg falling down the stairs, rather than playing their sport. Or a fire station catching on fire.
As someone who participated as an educator in a prison writing program, I don't think that having inmates fighting fires is in itself a bad thing. I worry, however, how they're being used, if their safety is being properly seen to, and if their work and lives are seen as valuable as non-inmate firefighters. The prison industrial complex is rife with abuse, and the issue I have with the low pay is that many inmates are expected to purchase things that most people assume the prison would provide (like tampons or extra clothes), which means they *need* money just like people on the outside. Add to it the way private companies take advantage of the low pay by offering inmates jobs in what are essentially on-site sweat shops, and that the private companies running the prisons make money off these arrangements, AND make money off of imprisoning people, and you've got what amounts to a get-rich conspiracy built on the backs of our country's most vulnerable: people of color, queer people, people with mental health issues, and those trying to survive poverty. If anyone is interested in a more in-depth study of how the prison-industrial complex works, I recommend "The Gates of Injustice" by Alan Elsner and/or "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. (Side note, inmates recently won the right to have "The New Jim Crow" stocked in their libraries after it was banned by prison wardens who didn't want inmates to "get ideas.")
I just wanted to say I appreciate this comment. Definitely going to educate myself more on this topic.
Thank you for your work in helping inmates further educate themselves. To answer your concern on the inmates safety while in the fires, they are treated just as equally as the Cal Fire employees working with them. I have an Uncle who worked specifically with inmates in Lake County (area of the Mendocino Complex) for several years. They would train daily about equipment care, physical exercise and also would work on clearing undergrowth in the forest to help prevent fires. He was a firm Captain with everyone under his command; both the inmates and regular Cal Fire workers. Of course this is just one unit, so cannot say for others. But I believe in these extreme situations, a life is a life and firefighters will fight to save any life. No matter the background. I hope that gives you some comfort in the good in people~
This was a really great and informative comment, thank you for sharing
Part of the problem, which Phil mentioned, is all this time and money that gets spent on training inmates, but then those same people (who know what they need to do and can get started immediately) are not eligible to be hired to do the same job when they're released. So it's a lot of time and money essentially being thrown away. But they don't have enough non-inmate people who are eligible for the job and actually wish to do it. Another problem, as mentioned by angelofdusk13 is that to most (obviously not all) people, inmates are expendable, and sometimes they're not even viewed or treated as human. I cannot even begin to count the number of comments on videos about somebody who was arrested for some of the stupidest stuff saying things like "we should just kill them", and "why should we be forced to pay for their screw ups". When the $0.20/hr average wage thing gets brought up, I've seen a number of people comment things like they shouldn't get paid at all while in prison, they should have to work 10 times as much as they do, they should be forced to do jobs that are dangerous (without any increase in pay of course) so the "regular" (presumably meaning somebody who has never been arrested) people don't have to, etc. I have a friend who was arrested (and somehow found guilty in a trial) because a friend who was in the car had some illegal substance in his pocket which was discovered during a traffic stop. No, I don't know the details, I wasn't there (everybody in the car was arrested, so if I was there I wouldn't be here mentioning this). I do know that my friend was not the one in possession of it, and had zero knowledge of its existence, but he was convicted anyway. He did nothing wrong (unless you're supposed to strip search your friends every time they get in your car) but is both treated and classified the same as a drug dealer, so when I see people saying that "we should just kill them", or that inmates aren't worthy of the same basic rights (like safety) all humans should be, it bothers me.
Don't do anything you could get sent to prison for and you won't have this problem.
I'm 40 years old, and never did time. Never found it that hard to stay out of jail. Did serve one overnight in a drunk tank but that was largely my fault.
Now, yes, there are those that are wrongly convicted, but this percentage sits just above 2 percent, according to a 2015 study.
Obey the law, do what you're told when approached by a police officer and don't give him any shit and you should be just fine.
Can you talk about the situation in Florida regarding sugar companies dumping waste into the water killing tons of marine life? Please they need someone to speak about this
yesss im from here and its so sad
msingstar15 i dont know why no one is talking about it. It is so awful!
That whole Brock Turner segment gave me life and helped my crops grow I love you daddy DeFranco
Edit: In terms of the prison fire fighters I think it's bullshit that there's a high chance that once they serve their time, they'd be unable to become "actual" firefighters. They served their time, they put in the work and put their lives on the line, they deserve a second chance. Any ex-con deserves a second chance if they are willing to put in the work and are dedicated to becoming better people.
F he ruined his second chance with this bullshit about "outer-course". Keep in mind I said "any ex-con deserves a second chance" not "third".
Also Brock Turner wasn't reformed. He got off with such a light sentence I wont be surprised if he gets another rape conviction before his probation is up.Meanwhile if you smoke pot you kill mankind.America Logic 101
F They said sex offenders can't be inmate firefighters.
Convicted sex offended brock Turner....there i fixed your comment
"TH-cam's resident shister" *I'm crying* why is it so funny when Phil says it like that?? 😂😂😂😂
Hajira S. i thought i was the only one who caught that
Hajira S. I think its because we didnt see it coming 😂🤣
No Diggity what
raj kacharekar 2:15
Hajira S. I felt off my couch and replayed it.
I found the James Charles comments confusing... so the estimates were too low (haha we get paid LOADS more than that, we're REAL celebrities) there's a huge pay gap (we're paid too low and deserve to be paid more I'm sister sad). Which is it?
Who knows, but could be both. Paid more than estimates but less than "regular" celebrities.
So someone in Scotland saying that Nazi’s are bad and making jokes gets a fine and jail time but convicted sex offender Brock Turner gets let off easy because “his fee fees can get hurt?”
Absolutely not. This is not justice.
He didn't get jail time, just a 800 pound fine. He "may" go to jail if he refuses to pay his the fine like he says he going to do.
I feel like people who have been to jail for the lower end crimes and who have been completely rehabilitated should be able to get more jobs. If not then most turn back to illegal things because they can't get work to provide for their lives or families. Just my thoughts. ❤❤
Foxy brown yea they do
If employers see you went to jail your chances of a job are "almost" nil. You saying they should be able to get more jobs doesn't matter, it isn't your store/brand/whatever that is on the line and taking a chance here.
Danny Gelbart there are people that think the same thing as the OP and just because they might reject them anyways doesn't mean we should make it even easier to get rejected
BigDaddyDank420 Agreed, society wonders why recidivism is so high, it’s because we mark ex criminals with a scarlet letter and punish them the rest of their lives. There’s not enough focus on rehabilitation, education, and second chances.
Definitely agree. I'm not a bleeding heart, and I don't think there's anything wrong with criminals being treated like criminals while in prison, but if you've got guys legitimately trying to change and be useful to society like the ones fighting the fires in California then give them a chance. That's how you encourage people to change. Don't give them handouts or coddle them, but reward real attempts at change.
I love you for referring to him only as Sex Offender Brock Turner
@@TKUA11 stating the facts is now hate?
Can someone explain to me how someone can be simultaneously be convicted of *''penetrating* an intoxicated person'' and ''attempting rape''? Sounds to me like someone being convicted of ''smashing someone's skull to smithereens'' and ''attempted manslaughter''.
Bible Illustrated some places have laws that have a weird way of labeling things. Which isn't good because a lot of the time is downplays what happened to the victim . Where I live it would have just been put under rape since rape includes any penetration no matter the object used.
Penetration dont gontt be your weiner dumbo
Peach Creamsicle A) if said rapist doesn’t have a penis then they can still rape someone. And B) penetration of any kind with anything is rape
Hermoione Reynolds Depends on the state
Bible Illustrated a person can be convicted of both since both are crimes. Attempt to rape is a crime and actually raping someone is also a crime. So they just add on the charges so that you get harsher punishment. So if someone rapes a person not only do they get the charge of raping them but also the charge of attempting rape. This sounds dumb but when someone is charged with crimes they make sure to charge him with a bunch of crimes not just one big crime. Also this is done so that let’s say Brock turner fought the rape charge and proved somehow he didn’t rape the girl but now he still has the attempt to rape charge which he has to prove wrong in court so it makes it harder for him to fight against it.
Phil calling James Charles “TH-cam’s Resident Shistar” gives me life
I can’t tell if they are a boy or girl. Boy name and hair, but wears so much makeup and fake nails, the Starbucks drink, and the pretty feminine pose. I dunno maybe in part of the “cis male patriarch” :/
"Convicted sex offender Brock Turner." say it again for those in the back :)
Man named Forest decides to burn down the forest. Now, he will be in jail forest of his life.
*Claps Slowly*
And he will be able to fight forest fires in prison
OXK but he cant as he commited arson
MeatPopsycle - as much as I want to sock you in the arm, gotta admit you made me laugh
barz!!
Is it possible that advertisers are aware of the reach of famous TH-camrs but are just happy to have cheap advertisement? Meaning, they might just be milking the fact that it's cheap when it clearly shouldn't be.
I agree, advertisers probably already know the influence youtubers have and are just trying to spend as little money possible. Basic economics.
exactly my thoughts! And now youtubers got themselves backed up to a corner because they cannot afford to lose the sponsorships they accepted when they first started to get traction. There's no winning for them. Either they accept the low offers or they lose a possible sponsorship.
Advertisers know how ephemeral a TH-camr's fame and influence is. All it takes is one scandal or dumb move and they're finished.
Did you know Brock Turner is a

Izu Oguike Dude, really?!?! I didn’t know!!
James Charles looks like a real life Hunger Games rich person.

Jeffree star.
Sage Hornet He can say what ever he like's freedom of speech.Being homosexual doesn't make him immune from sarcasm.Cut the PC Nazi police attempts at silencing humour you don't personally enjoy.
LOL
Zarathustra Zarath holy shit he does
LOL. I love how every time Phil addresses Brock Turner, he puts “convicted sex offender” at the start. 😂😂😂
He said he would do that the day he was convicted,and has held to it. It's nice to see a man with conviction. Not like Brock's sex conviction, though. Very different.
I thought it got annoying really fast, but Phil does what he wants.
Will Black mate, if you are going to try and be a troll, then actually get a profil that isn't so obviously faked.
Being a sex offender is like a title, like sir or dr, it always comes before your name because DAMMIT you earned it.
So your mad at him for not being mad at things that make you mad?
My dad was in prison for around 7 years from when I was 3 till I was 11...he was charged with involuntary manslaughter which he has repented for and has never stopped feeling guilty about! When he was there and being around the horrible types of people in prison the only escape he had was working through his sentence...he worked his way up to chief of the inmate fire department and as a child I admired what my dad did (in jail or not) I thought of him as a hero because he was one and was doing it with so little respect! He also had to work hard for it...he wasn’t a bad person just caught in a bad situation and this program was probably one of the biggest factors for his succeess after he got out! He was given an opportunity to change for the better and to have something to live for! Came home after 7 years and started his own construction business from the ground up and went on to make 6 figures a year! How could anyone ever say that the inmate fire program is anything but wonderful! Giving inmates an opportunity to better themselves, to serve others, and to feel like a human being. There’s clearly guidelines and if you don’t fit those you don’t make it in... so for those inmates who deserve to be respected although they may have made some bad choices but are not bad people shouldn’t be shoved in a corner and molded into even worse criminals! We should be lifting them up and try to do what we can to better them and have them learn from their mistakes.
Ashley Bickford had your dad died fighting those fires making $1 an hour you'd be furious not happy
I appreciate this
While I agree there is also the issue of Inmates that would "Pretend" to be rehabilitated just so they can get what they want and use said tools or resources to get back at the People that put them in Jail in the first place.
Thanks for sharing this! That’s such an awesome story and I agree I think it’s a great program for inmates! It gave your dad, and many others, and chance to live a fulfilling life while serving their sentence
Love the way Phil does hammers in "Convicted sex offender Brock Turner" over and over again. 😂😂
As Ethan would say, “DENIED!!!”
A mAtTEr oF lAw
QUINTESSENTIAL
I think it’s a little silly that people are jumping on James just because he’s mentioning money while he has more than they do. But I definitely would say that he is oversimplifying the disparity between mainstream and digital stars. There’s definitely a qualitative difference. It’s not there’s nobody in Hollywood who can’t act, but it’s a lot harder to make it and there’s a lot more of a filtration process so most people who get big are very talented. You can get famous on social media if enough 12-year-olds enjoy your content no matter how shitty it is. I don’t think it’s surprising that the media doesn’t see Jake Paul on the same level as Tom Hanks.
Libertarirynn Videos While I can see where you’re coming from, I don’t think using a comparison of Jake Paul vs Tom Hanks is relevant- Jake Paul is a “cough” controversial young person who has been around a couple of years- Tom Hanks has been acting in blockbusters for literally decades. But if we were to compare Jake Paul to a newish Hollywood actor of approximately similar age and experience I think their potential outreach and advertising clout would be actually be higher on Jake Paul’s side (although I really hate to admit that!) Hollywood has always deliberately kept a “closed club” so they have control of who joins them, on TH-cam that’s less the case it’s true. But it’s also true that plenty of talented people who work hard in both platforms that get little recognition- and vice versa. I think comparing TH-cam to TV workers and actors would be more appropriate and a better like for like- and in that way I do think that TH-camrs are getting a raw deal. However I agree 100% that James is oversimplifying the situation. Plus, I don’t think he realises that because he is a top youtube influencer in the “beauty community” that he is on a massively higher pay check per click, per video and per sponsorship than most youtubers in most other sectors- because beauty keywords usually generate top advertising compared to other TH-cam markets. So he will be making a far higher sale salary and advertising fee per 10 million views, compared to say Shane or others that aren’t considered advertiser friendly or what TH-cam want to promote.
But if the advertising are able to bring in the same value as those celebrities, they should be paid the same.
1. The point of the prison system isn't revenge, it's reform. The reason America has such high recidivism rates is because of how we treat ex-cons once they finish their time. If the state/prison system deems them worthy of release we should consider them reformed. Closing off professional paths doesn't benefit anyone, it removes qualified people from the workforce and encourages them to return to crime, which isn't good for the ex-cons or their communities.
2. Inmates should be able to volunteer for jobs like firefighting, as long as an ethics committee has determined that there isn't undue pressure on the inmates to do so. It's the same thing in human research, inmates are considered a vulnerable group and are afforded certain protections because of it.
3. If society is going to collectively agree that it's okay to enslave prisoners with involuntary/mandatory/very low pay work, we at least need to be honest about it.
Under looked at comment (maybe)
First point might turn too many away
Your third point is best
Noice
I read your comment and here is what I think. I think it would be great to have convicts be able to go into the world and get a job and then move on w their lives. But, would you be ok if child molesters do their time and then become teachers to small children ? I dont think so but I also want them to be able to become normal citizen. I am not sure what a good solution would be.
Former Volunteer Firefighter and EMT for 5 years. Not knowing ALL of the facts about the inmates, such as their crime and how fighting the fires has helped rehabilitate them, I support their efforts and think they should be allowed to become firefighter and EMT's after they serve their time. Prisoners or not, I think those of us in the first responder community should embrace them as brothers just like anyone else who dons the gear.
Damn right, I've deployed side by side with inmate crews. They deserve the same respect as any who face the fire. We were glad to have them and they should be able to join us when they get out
PeruvianGentry well said. Thank you for your service and opinion on this matter. I also totally agree.
I agree under one condition, the first 20-50 years of this idea being implemented, there's a program involving parole officers checking in frequently with the ex-cons and their bosses to make sure everything's smooth. I know that some countries have more lenient rules about this with lower recidivism rates, so I'm optimistic as long as we keep track of the progress, the successes and failures to weigh out the benefits vs the drawbacks over time.
Good news we have had that in place since the 50's
Philly D! Please talk about the Toxic algae off the coast of florida killing all the wildlife and making people extremely ill. Its a lot of politics and its rediculous that us floridians have to go through our ecosystem being destroyed because of politics with sugar companies.
Yesss. Toxic algal blooms need to be talked about more. It’s quite sad most people aren’t aware what they are.
It's just nature doing to Florida what the rest of America wishes it could do.
*Swamp Thing and Toxic Avenger*
...idk why but this comes to mind when I think about toxic algae
This has been going on long before trump this is Governor Rick Scott who has been governor for 8 years and each year he show how much less he cares about Florida and it’s ecosystems
Sara Hostos I never blamed trump, but you're absolutely right. Its all rick scott.
If you are an inmate fire fighter volunteering with high standards for enter, then when you leave prison you should be given a certificate allowing you exemption from the EMT rule (no criminal record) as to volunteer there is already strict requirements. This has two advantages, the first is that there will be people with experience who can apply for a job ad a fire fighter, and experience is key, and secondly this give former inmates a career opportunity to change their lives
It’s a thing that inmates that are not violent do help fight fires.
US Military too. I was in a unit training in the field and a brush fire came up.
Due to our position, size, and equipment, we were directed to assist in fighting the fires.
It felt good and we got a lot of first hand experience.
Dark Guardian But is it fair to the inmate. One, they are risking their life for a dollar an hour. Two, though they are doing an heroic deed, they still have a criminal record. Just because they are prisoners, doesn't mean they should be consided criminals if they risk their life to save thousands( im not considering rapeist, murderers..etc).
Just a thought
Prisoners should get a massive amount of time taken off their sentences for their work out there considering they can actually die
Phil stated that it was for minimum security prisoners and rules out murderers sex offenders etc. the prisoners do it voluntarily and I’m sure they want to get the feeling of self worth not just get out of the prison walls.
Random Dud3 heroic deeds do not undo past mistakes at all. If I con someone out of $100,000 but as a prisoner help with brush fire, am I suddenly more of a hero than a criminal? Me conning someone out of a ludicrous amount of money has not gone anywhere, the repercussions of that awful action can't be undone
Dark Guardian but inmates can't become firefighters
I thought this title said "Brock Turner DIED" and i got so damn excited
Etta Jurima same
Jacob Garrison sorry if I misunderstood, but are you defending a convicted rapist?
Anyone else a little concerned that Phil goes wild every time Brock Turner is mentioned but just scowls when there's a bombing? I wonder if he doth protest too much.
he is not a convicted rapist, never was and never should be. Get our language right.
Jacob Garrison Disagree, very cool. The coolest.
I like when Philip gets pissed off.
Ikr. He sounds like a radical protestor.
Silver Eyeshadow: Me too.. I just sit there grinning like an idiot.
Yet he never gets this heated over women doing f'ed up stuff tho?
Example: The Japanese nurse who killed patients so they wouldnt die on her shift so she didn't have to break the news to a greiving family because it was a hassle.
The Omniscient Sociopath well that is your opinion but honestly i just find it hilariously hypocritical of him.
I know i was disappointed when he would rather report and discuss "Kylie Jenner being the fastest self-made billionare" than the story of " Forbes writing and publishing a hit piece on Total biscut on his 1st birthday since his passing " or How some of the Games media lashed out against Arena Net due to the firing of 2 employees who attacked fans on Twitter during an AMA.
I was worried his appeal would be approved. My faith in humanity has increased just a tad bit, but i was legit scared he would go clean. Thank god he didn't.
Hearing Philip say “shistar” literally made me want to scream
I visited a jail as part of a criminology class. The officer who took us around said that in this specific jail, the reoffense rate was over 90%. He said many inmates come through 10+ times. They don't have money bail, they dont have anything going for them outside of the system, so they just wait for months until they're either released or move on to a prison. It's just so... Futile. Once people get in, they can't seem to stay out. I think the lack of opportunities post conviction plays a huge role in that. If someone has no options, how are they supposed to change their lives around? It must be terrible to finally be released from prison, only to feel like there's nothing left for you and everything moved on without you.
The repeated use of "convicted sex offender Brock Turner" had me rolling. Good stuff Philip 😂
Same though xD
saaaame
I LOVE IT
I don't think he meant it to be funny, but you're right, very good stuff!
Marubolas eh. First few were ok. Then it got cringe worthy quick.
Why haven't you talked about the situation between Canada and Saudi Arabia. It's a huge piece of news.
His name is Forrest and he started a forest fire? Man oh man God why you playin' with us like that.
Matt Stanislen oh shit dude
Hope that judge is never appointed again, disgraceful!
Dr. D he’s been recalled. I think that prevents him from ever being a judge again.
I’ve probably said this on every video you’ve put up regarding Brock Turner but I’ll say it again because it can’t be said enough. Brock Turner and his parents have demonstrated time and again that they DO NOT understand the enormity of what he did and are completely devoid of any insight regarding the impact of his actions. This is his second appeal and the last time he appealed the argument had to do with whether the area he raped Emily Doe was a dumpster or a dumpster enclosure... I didn’t get it and the judge wasn’t having it. But common sense prevailed and the appeal was denied. They’re not even debating whether or not he had sexual contact with a woman who couldn’t consent or defend herself. They’re just trying to find a technicality so they can throw out his conviction. They also talk about Emily Doe like she’s some thorn in his side or some roadblock to the life he wants to live. They don’t seem to acknowledge or even show awareness that Turner made poor decisions that led to where he is now. He is NOT a victim, he is a PERPETRATOR. Given that they employ this mentality we can clearly see that Turner and his parents have no remorse for what happened and have learned NOTHING. We can only hope that if he slips up again (lack of insight and remorse is a good indicator he WILL) he’ll have the book thrown at him.
Was she actually raped?
Please answer and I will let you know why I said that statement
Jacob Star I don’t remember commenting on anything you’ve written. He stuck his fingers into her vagina while she was unconscious which IS rape. The difference between consensual sex and rape has nothing to do with what body part was used (if it was a body part at all, people HAVE been raped with foreign objects) to do it and everything to do with the difference between yes and no. Yes Emily Doe was raped. She was not capable of agreeing to sex or even defending herself. She was found unconscious with her dress hiked up and this asshole doing what he pleased with her.
Males stop defending him! You all need to learn that what he did was rape, was wrong, destroyed a woman and despite his parents money and influence their kid is a sex offender who deserves to be homeless til he dies. Daddy screwed up raising him, Daddy should be homeless with him.
Miss Moxie he was also drunk. If she was black out drunk and doesn’t remember leaving with him that doesn’t mean that they didn’t kiss on the ground and etc. until she passed out in the middle of it, which is essentially what it sounds like happened. I’ve passed out drunk while having sex with my boyfriend and he didn’t notice for a bit because he was also drunk. This sounds like two college kids getting wasted and one of them blacking out and not remembering what led up to the situation, or anything period. Everyone kept saying she was raped so she said I must have been raped.
Young-R did anyone see him drag her or is this just an assumption? Because from the evidence I’ve seen, nobody saw her get dragged behind a dumpster. For all anyone knows she went there willingly while black out drunk.
“TH-camrs are all talentless hacks” *watches all youtubers more than traditional media* lmao this comment section 😂
Can you do the same thing as those people you claim untalented and earn as much as them ?
Revolting Swan i dissagree youtuber have to film, edit, resond to fanmail, research and write a script almost everyday it is very difficult to do that and thats why only the best youtubers make it. Therefore i belive that they are just as talented as actors.
Revolting Swan and celebrities like Kylie Jenner are way more talented right?
Revolting Swan stop looking at the TH-cam recommended page there are so many talented people not the mainstream garbage you are talking about. There are so many holes Your argument too.
Doing a crime that isn't violent shouldn't be a scarlet letter for inmates that show reform and take part in contributing to society.
keiharris332 Still, 6 months isn't enough. Reformed or not that girl was still raped, and mentally that's not an easy thing to deal with.
I think keiharris332 was referring to the firefighters. Rapist Brock Turner wouldn't have been able to join even if he was given a sentence worthy of his crime because sex offenders aren't allowed to sign up.
Snake I don't think that's what they're referring to
Snake They were talking about the inmates fighting fires not sex offender brock turner
Why not violent though? They still did their time
Brock, when Bubba wants to snuggle up with you in prison...remember, it's just outercourse. Its no big deal. 😂
male rape is so funny! right?
Just "20 minutes of action."
Ha, good one
He already serviced his really, REALLY small time in prison away from the general population. So no chance of meeting bubba.
Eh that’s kinda messed up man. What he did was terrible and because of that I’d never wish that upon him as well.
If we found out about inmate firefighters because they were escaping, abusing privileges, or otherwise... I could see being upset.
It appears that they are contributing much needed help with containment with little incentive other than fresh air and small compensation in pay.
Anyone complaining about the program can help clear brush for the same pay or hold their tongue till there is reason for concern imo...
Thank you to the inmates contributing to this program 👏👏👏
Kimiko
As long as they are in it to actually pay back society for their mistakes, I'm all for it! I personally feel that all manner of criminals should work jobs on the magnitude of their crimes. Chain gangs should come back to those who beat wives/husbands/children. Dangerous tunnel work/mining should be given to those on death row or life in prison. That way if they die, it isn't a big deal as they were going to die anyways. It should be only for the worst of the worst though.
I'm not sure you can say that they are getting "fresh" air. I live 2 states away from California and every time I step outside, it smells like a campfire. People *here* are getting sick because of the outdoor air quality. I can't imagine the air quality closer to the fires is what anyone would call "fresh".
Does anyone else see the irony in Forrest Gordon’s name?
Hey man, I am the best rapper. I got more views than drake and logan paul
Lil Enoxx dude holy shit
Lil Enoxx no
I sure do. I plan to fight fires if the seasons not over when i get home.
Wait, people didn't know about inmate fire squads? I work with a guy who was part of one of these squads, and it helped him get a job after prison. He was able to put it on his resume rather than leaving a gap, and one of the people overseeing him on the squad was one of his references.
TheJeffreyJJones But...they can't be firefighters when out.
Adding "volunteer firefighter" to any resume can show dedication.
Aya A. There are some municipalities that allow people with criminal records to become firefighters. The fact that the prisoners are willing to voluntarily fight the wildfires can help them get a job that isn't even related to firefighting. I see it as a positive, as long as parole boards and future possible employers are willing to take it into account.
That's great, for this specific guy. We're talking about GENERALLY, felons cannot become firefighters.
Most politicians pay lip service to the plight of ex-cons. However they don't do anything because their opponents, despite the benefits of rehabilitation programs that train prisoners for real world jobs, say they are being soft on criminals.
This is an example of that, these ex-cons get years worth of experience with wildfires yet will likely NEVER be firefighters. That's my issue with it. We create the department of corrections to CORRECT their behavior, yet don't give them the tools to be successful creating an assembly line of criminals.
Commit a crime
Go to jail
Get "services" to "improve your life"
Get released (at least 98% of prisoners will at some point)
Go to a halfway home
Halfway home requires you to have a job.
You can't get a job because no one hires a felon.
Because you can't get a job, you violated your probation. Back to jail.
Rinse and repeat. And people wonder why recidivism is so high in the US. That's why. We act like we give a damn, we know the problem, yet we fail them at every point because it's not politically tenable to help felons.
I don't understand the outrage around it. I guess I'll just chuck it up to people being outraged about anything and everything just to try to fish out some moral superiority points.
Prisoners are fine being firefighters. The goal is rehabilitation, right? Allow them to gain skills to hopefully be successful after they get out. With that said I think it depends on the crime committed. In the 21st century you can’t do anything with a criminal record, which in my mind will most likely lead them back to a life of crime
Dave Koffee there are plenty of labor and low skill jobs that don't do a background check. You can in fact do something with a background
Dave Koffee The primary goal is punishment and keeping the rest of the populace safe from a criminal.
ApartmentViews no, the point is incarceration and rehabilitation. That's why we have a variety of sentences. If they cannot be rehabilitated then yes, keep everyone else safe. But the point is rehabilitation
Food for thought; inmates pay no taxes and live on govt funds. It's profitable to the private establishment, not the general populace.. if the govt gives you 100 dollars a day to care for and incarcerate someone, and you can do it for 20 bucks a day, are you not more inclined to simply say they aren't rehabilitatable. It's a crooked system, designed from the ground up, hundreds of years ago, to put people in cages and leave them there, so the government pays all the bills for you, and you have an 80% profit margin on every inmate.
Dave Koffee but some prisoners have to pay a bill at the end of their sentence
opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/paying-for-their-crimes-again/
This increases the likelihood that they’ll go back to prison as they don’t have money saved and have to get back on their feet. I think they should be able to earn something close to a minimum wage(or a bit less) so they can save up and build from something once they’re released instead of starting from scratch.
ceasarspartacus No. You're quite wrong. The primary point of prison is punishment. Prisons were created to punish the bad and keep safe the rest of the population. Rehab centers are primarily for rehabilitation, not prisons. Presumed criminals are sentenced to prison as a punishment first and foremost, not primarily sent there to be changed.
I think the idea of keeping inmates out of society and making it harder for them to have normal lives after serving their time is incredibly troubling. We as a country should be pushing for criminals to transition back into society and have the opportunity for things like becoming firefighters or police officers. Let people redeem themselves.
Tyler Harris You should have a look at the Norwegian prison system it really focuses on reform. They even have an island where offenders walk free and do work contributing to their own little community. It's very interesting
My neighbor raped little girls he shouldn't be allowed to be in a normal society. He deserves to be set on fire. I agree to an extent but murderers, rapists, stuff like that shouldn't get a second chance.
Nah. Comply or die. That's the motto we should have implemented in our police force so the criminal population lowers.
Tyler Harris yeah but it definitely depends on what they did time for imo.
It depends on what they did. Something minor, sure, but definitely not murder or rape or something major.
Phil, PLEASE address the water quality issues in south florida! The media is completely silent.
taprackbang88 what's happening ?
Did Phil just say "Shishter" 😂
I just want to chime in on the plate about inmate firefighters. I've been a volunteer firefighter for 16 years in Pennsylvania since I was 15 years old as a junior firefighter moving to a full-fledged firefighter I think that it can be a really big thing. Most of the fire departments across the United States are comprised of volunteers at least in this state you do not need to have an EMT certification to become a firefighter for a volunteer department. You are required to go to fire School and complete modules 1 through 4 and if they're receiving this training doing a service that is very very needed I believe it will be very beneficial to them.
If they can get a job with their criminal history working as a firefighter after the fact, but honestly how many public municipality or fire departments would hire people with a prior conviction to work in the public sector. This would be beneficial if they were able to take those skills to make a better life outside of prison, but more than likely, they won't be given the chance after they served their time.
There have actually been numerous studies done on the prison labor, which no one seems to take in to account. But let's sum them all up in 1 sentence.
Working while in prison reduces the rate at which people return to prison.
One. You should probably get your facts a bit more straight. There is no bribery, at least that I know of, and isn't particularly widespread if there is. You may be thinking of private prisons (which are bull shit, by the way, and is the one instance that I support government seizure of ....'production') have contracts with local governance to have at least a set amount of inmates at any one point, or they face penalties.
Two....I could go look up the reasoning they gave (it was quite reasonable)...but from memory, they actually *do* get paid minimum wage, but in much the same way a macdonalds servitor doesn't go home with minimum wage page checks (if to a greater degree) are because of deductions like taxes. And the reason why they don't said servitor doesn't have that check paycheck in the bank is because it is spent - on food, entertainment, and so on. IIRC, it's much the same, though with less choice, as you are restricted to the prison.
Three. The pay isn't the important bit. The important bit is rehabilitation, and keeping people from returning to prison. The first prison to implement this work policy saw a relapse rate drop of 50% (IIRC). And the work is 100% voluntary. If they feel that it's not worth their time, they can not be coerced in to doing so.
thank you for calling that monster by his FULL title every time you mentioned him
The evidence of the case that was apparently ignored by every judge, even the one who gave him a ridiculously light sentence? If that were true the first judge would have completely thrown the case away. The judge, Brock and his father all admitted that non-consensual sexual contact took place and there were male witnesses who CRIED when they saw what he was doing to her. There was physical evidence of sexual assault including foreign matter in her vaginal canal.
Rapist Brock Turner is not innocent. He apparently has you fooled, though.
If criminals are never given a chance to rejoin society they will never have any motivation to stop commiting crimes.
Josh Harkema Interesting point. I think that's valid to say. I think Phil draws an arbitrary line a lot of the time with people he's willing to give chances over time and people he hopes suffer for the rest of their lives. Not sure what makes this divide in his head.
If they die in prison, they can't harm anyone but their fellow inmates. People like Brock Turner deserve to rot in prison.
People like Brock Turner deserve lifelong punishment, absolutely, an 18 year old who got busted with an ounce of pot shouldn't have to spend the rest of his life living under then shadow of a single mistake.
BLNKT pretty sure he draws the line at rapists, murderers, and maniacal torturers.
I definitely agree with that but there are just some cases where that doesn't apply. It really depends on the motive behind the crime. If it was out of pire malice or just because they are mentally unstable any more chances wouldn't change anything, but with most smaller crimes commited (mostly) out of necessity, not giving them a second chance would deffinitely be a terrible mistake (which is also why the war on drug is/was an absolute fucking terrible idea.)
Its messed up, because they get all this training and none of it can be used outside of prison. Its fucked up
They should get the opportunity to become real firefighters if they want to.
Eduard Lizardo MD ... true BUT you and I don’t know how or why they are in jail. Being that they are paid a dollar an hour and trained to risk their lives like the regular firefighters, i believe they should be given the opportunity to pursue it outside of jail. Maybe becoming real firefighters could prevent some of the offenders from going back to jail.
Honestly I never understood why someone, especially a JUDGE would defend someone as disgusting as Brock Turner, it’s great to know he’ll go through the full extent of the law!
nah he's not going through the full extent of the law. He's just not getting an even harder pass.
Labrintyhium I honestly can’t imagine what that girl and her parents must of been feeling when they heard the judge say this, I also feel kind of bad for the two boys that rescued her I know that sounds strange but I can’t imagine what it must’ve felt like for them to know that they risked their lives to save this girl only to find out that the judge practically let him get away with these criminal acts.
Labrintyhium that's because you never looked into the publicly available court transcripts, don't worry, neither did Phil...
The fact that he COULD have been great blinds them, they blame the ppl who want justice for his failure instead of his own actions.
Bdog -it And? There was nothing worth reading in those transcripts. Nothing that judge said validated his final opinion and decision.
"And, also, I have considered the character letters that have been provided by Mr. Turner’s friends, family, which indicate a period of, essentially, good behavior. "
"Number five is the likely effect of imprisonment on the defendant and his or her dependants. Obviously, a prison sentence would have a severe impact on him. And that may be true in any case. I think it’s probably more true with a youthful offender sentenced to state prison at a - at a young age."
"Number six are the adverse collateral consequences on the defendant’s life resulting from the felony conviction. And those are severe. And they’re severe in a couple of ways: One, with respect to the Penal Code section 290 registration that he’ll be subject to for life; and, secondly, with respect to the media attention that’s been given to the case, it has not only impacted the victim in this case, but also Mr. Turner. Where, in certain cases, there is no publicity, then the collateral consequence on those on the defendant’s life can be minimized. And so here, we have, I think, significant collateral consequences that have to be considered."
"But the - I - I think you have to take the whole picture in terms of what impact imprisonment has on a specific individual’s life. And the impact statements that have been - or the, really, character letters that have been submitted do show a huge collateral consequence for Mr. Turner based on the conviction."
If you can *SERIOUSLY* read through this and not see that the judge is trying to essentially defend the person that tried to commit rape, then you should have your eyes removed. Everything Phil, and people that reported on this *HONESTLY* said was correct. The judge sentenced an *ADULT* that he *CONVICTED* of attempted rape to a month because it would "unnecessarily impact his life". He fucking tried to rape a girl and his proper punishment for those actions *SHOULD* be near death. He was convicted, with multiple witnesses and forensic evidence *CONFIRMED* he was guilty.
"Mr. Armstrong offered an explanation for that disconnect, which is that Mr. Turner, in his state of intoxication, sees the events in a certain way."
This was the best he could muster to defend why convicted sex offender Brock Turner's "depiction" of events were *UTTERLY and OBJECTIVELY* false. Rather than taking the opinions of a drunk person at face value with proper reasoning, the judge said "nah, he genuinely thought the girl wanted him to fuck her while she was unconscious, and he's probably sorry, because I think so for no real rational reason, and this whole prison thing will just harsh his mellow, so let's tone it down a bit bro".
That moment when you even have Ajit Pai suspicious and concerned about shady business between two big companies merging...
DMind Gaming We call that, "a supreme fuckup", in my country.
TheOneAndOnlyKevan lol like Disney getting 20th century fox when it already controls 90% of licensed kids apparels and toys.
Quickly read the title as “Brock Turner Died...” and was SO HAPPY for a second smh
J_Venchy wishing death upon somewhat, regardless of what they did, and being SO HAPPY about it is fucked up in all honesty. It honestly saddens me
J_Venchy ah don't worry I've had title misreads too
I read it the same way and was like "oh shit I wanted him to be punished but this is... Oh denied" well at least the outer course thing didn't go through
I wouldn’t be happy he died. I wouldn’t be sad though..
As much as I hate wishing death upon someone, I wouldn’t exactly be sad.
Phil, as someone who holds a Red Card (Incident Qualifications Card) with the National parks service and having been out west fighting wildfires earlier this year and in previous years. I can tell you to be a wildland fire fighter you do not have to have EMT training. Most structural fire fighters have to because it is mandated by their individual departments. To be a wildland fire fighter, a person must pass a few fire behavioral courses, burn tests and equipment classes. After all the field and class room course work is completed, a person must pass the Pack Test. Where you carry a weighted pack along with your tools for a distance in a certain amount of time. Just thought that needed some clarification.

Djuntas I think his content is pretty original for a big beauty influencer, but he is very immature and doesn’t know when to shut his mouth on social media
"6000 dollars" flexing in thumbnail automatically qualifies him to be a target for a douchyYT compilation or content cop meme target Im sorry. Just cba. Kids makes the stupidest content popular.

My response to inmate firefighters not likely to becoming firefighters is that if you already exclude the wrongful ones like arsonists and the rest mentioned then why is incarceration for 'rehabilitation' as most often use as an excuse to not execute every offender for every crime. For the ones with light sentences or opportunity, is it not rehabilitation?
That Machete guy was in prison but when released became a very iconic actor throughout the industry of movies.
Jive Turkey who is that machete guy?
Danny Trejo
www.imdb.com/name/nm0001803/
it has to do with the EMT portion of Firefighters - they are in peoples homes when those people are in dire health situation. I for one would NOT want a criminal or ex criminal (esp a "white collar crime" criminal) in my home with me in a dire health situation. They may be able to help save me but they also may take my id for id theft or check where things are so a friend can come by later to rob the house....on and on....while acting in a movie they do not have access to the directors home, personal papers etc....but Firefighter WILL have access to that stuff if they are coming out on a non-fire emergency, which they ARE called out to. =) Love the machete guy, Danny is an awesome actor!
Jive Turkey I'm struggling to understand what your saying, please clarify? Thanks.
My guess is that he was saying that it is flawed to exclude ex convicts, who have served their time for the opportunity to better themselves with jobs. The argument of "jail is for rehabilitation" is used to combat things like death penalty and what would constitute a non rehabilitatable crime ie. pre meditated murder. Also he threw in Danny Trejo (Machete guy) as someone who is an ex Con who has done good things not only in movies but in the community.
I thought this said “Brock Turner DIED” and I nearly died
rainingtrees from happiness?
rainingtrees I almost screamed “YES”
I'm not going to say that death is a good thing but if someone's gonna die Brock Turner isn't the worst option...
I did too 😂😂
Me too,I started hearing that song ‘celebration time come on!’ In my head
If someone payed their debt to society, why are we still punishing them? If these inmates could leave jail and get jobs as firemen, they would become regular citizens and contribute to society, isn't that what we want?
Pedro Ludwig Marcial Yeah my city tried that, they pardoned thousands of offenders, even violent ones. Crime ended up tripling in the area....sooo.
Because there are many crimes that indicate a person's character and propensity to commit that crime. Would you put a person who had been convicted of embezzlement in charge of your account? Would you hire a sex offender to babysit?
Obviously not. And there's a reason for that.
Brendan O'Brien but that’s just a fraction of the prison population. Most offenses are non violent like procession of weed.
But I do agree that a arsonist should be a firefighter, or a tax embezzler shouldn’t manage savings accounts.
ItzTweek exactly!
Luis Prado that's nuts, what city is that? Would love to read about it. Also, that is not what i am talking about, violent criminals are not allowed to go through the program.
I think our prison system needs a ton of reform and this story with the volunteer firefighters prove it. Pay them a decent wage that they can then live on for when they leave prison or at least offer reduced sentencing. Many of these prisoners will struggle to find decent work once they leave. Prison should be about reform and no one not getting a life sentence or who did a nonviolent crime should be punished for the rest of their life. How many of those in jail are from things like possession of marijuana? It's ridiculous that they would lose the right to vote, to make money, and actually be able to move forward in their lives, especially if they were willing to risk theirs to help save homes.
Better yet, shut down the prisons, eliminate the threats to society (murderers, rapists etc) and rehabilitate the others through servitude.
Amanda Reynolds-Gregg
Mind altering substance (weed) while driving should put you in prison for at least 5 years repeat offenders get 15years until they kill someone, for endangering my life.
Don't feel bad for them, they have been housed and fed and clothed, while in prison. Working creates character in a person they should all be forced to work.
Prisons like welfare now, used to be you work for your food each day.
america spends 60k per prisoner a year to keep them locked up. thats a lot of money already
That's a tough thing. They're prisoners, you can't pay them a decent wage because you're paying their food and essential services. If you pay them a decent wage, you encourage people to get arrested to get jobs. I think $1 is low, however they shouldn't be given a full wage. maybe $3?
Amanda Reynolds-Gregg actually they get 2 days off their sentence for everyday of good behavior at the camps
I don't see why people would be against inmates fighting fires. Like, are *you* going to help? Didn't think so. Criminal or not, they still help save people, whilst being despised by the public. I'm not going to say they're heroes or anything, but credit where credit's due.
Miss the mark much? The issue is about just how truly volentary vs pressured into it they are and whether or not they are treated right for it. Not that they are helping. If they are being trained for these roles they should at the least be eligible to use what they have learned for a real job outside of prison.
They do not learn everything that real fire fighters learn though. That is like saying a night watchmen who guards an empty building at night with a flash light and radio is ready to be a cop because they do some of the same things. They would still need to get picked up by a department and go through actual training first if they were eligible.
I know a man who was an inmate forest fire fighter and he was fully trained in all aspects of forest fire fighting. He attained an advanced tree faller certification while out on fires. He was based out of Idaho. Maybe it's different there?
Subezdo that’s not the argument being made
Minor offenses should just be treated as, people who made mistakes and are atoning for it sooooooo, all rights should be given back to them after time is due.
Why does Brock Turner look like Michael Cera if his life took a dark turn.
Tiger Bears don't do Michael dirty like that
Tiger Bears Michael Cera's life isn't what happens when his life took a dark turn?

I agree _except_ in cases involving hair. I've done that thing where you take a celeb's photo to your stylist and demand THAT cut. Yeah, that doesn't always work out. But I admit I've done it... walked out with all the products, all the confidence until the next day after my morning shower. Mousse, for example is shit. All it does is big hair. It's a one-trick pony in my hands. I have hair fails that would make you cringe, none of them recorded, thankfully.
Amen. When celebs do ad campaigns for drugstore makeup, I just switch off. You expect me to believe that such and such is using a 7.99 mascara? Really? However when someone on TH-cam I trust says "x is great and inexpensive" and shows what I believe to be an honest demonstration of the product working well, I am more likely to buy it. Some mascara ad filmed for TV with lash inserts is just going to turn me off
Miss S - you lookin fine af
I hate how we treat ex convicts. Most convicts can’t legally vote so once you have a record you can’t even represent yourself in the U.S, and not only that but even when serving your time as a prisoner is done, even if you had good behavior and come out wanting to be a positive influence on society, you can’t do a job in service of your country like a firefighter. Even if you had fought fires on slave labor wages. It’s like we’ve been branding people with the Mark of Cain from the Bible, to ostracize these people for life.
🤨
Michael Lopez, I'm still establishing my views on the rights of convicts, but, I still come to the place of ”you committed a crime, yes... But how does that stop you from being a person, with rights that should be acknowledged”
I have trouble discounting the personhood of a felon, just because they have done wrong( and paid penance for it)
It should depend on why you went into prison in the first place. Pedos ,rapist, muders, robbers and those who do any violent acts no longer have their rights. Those who went to prison because no violent acts that harmed no one just themselves they should have their rights still.
i couldn't agree more and it seems like this could be a way to rehab some convict by teaching them an important and difficult job. This is a missed oppertunity
Zaira Angel, yeah I can understand certain people not receiving the right back but I’d rather have a probationary period after prison, depending on the crime committed, a longer or shorter probationary, and then if they fill the requirements that show them being an active member of society that they get their full rights back at least. How’s someone supposed to get a job though and be a productive member of society though when the moment they say they served time they can’t get a job. It’s ridiculous. We’re hypocrites if jail follows you the rest of your life even if you had good behavior and tried atonement and to be a better person
Can you please talk about the Utah wildfires? The Coal Hollow Fire is 0% contained and people have had to evacuate their homes.
Philip I'm kind of in love with your journalism. Your channel is giving me life.
People angry at inmates wanting to help point at their future employment? Why be angry at the prisons, or the inmates? Get angry at the EMT office! If an inmate has “voluntary firefighter” on their prison history, why would you reject them? They have 80% of the training they need, if not more! Stop being angry at good things, get angry at those who are causing that good thing to be bad.
Thank you Phil. Thank you for speaking out about the garbage person Brock Turner, his father and the judge that convicted to him to only three months. Having sexual trauma in my past it makes me respect you so much (than I already did) for being outspoken on these garbage people. Hugs from Minnesota.
I want to ask you. ( not meant to offend but inquire)
1. How did Brock Turner get the girl to the trashcan?
2. At what point did Brock start to have "Dry humping" intercourse with the girl. Was she passed out before they started humping or did he hump her after she passed out.
3. When did those guys catch Brock in the act and did Brock tend to rape or was he about to stop when the guys started chasing him and he was scared seeing a couple of guys try to chase him so he ran.
4. Did brock actually rape this girl or is the media so hysterical about anything that looks like rape that they will call it rape even if it is not?
5. I am not saying he could not have raped this girl but there are so many questions that went unanswered as the media just said he was guilty without actual DNA proof which is why I believe he got the 6 month sentence.
6. I could be wrong but after seeing how hysterical rape accusations are, I tend to want more evidence rather than a crying girl saying he did something without actual proof.
BTW: if he did actually rape her than i would be very upset but I have to ask these questions to make sure the justice system does not railroad men just because they have a penis.
F You do realize that penetration of an unconscious person with sticks and other items is still RAPE, right? Might wanna go look up the legal definition, bud.
The guy is guilty of what he was found guilty of.
Jacob Star: 1. The girl was passed out at a dumpster. 2. She was passed out, so she did not consent to anything. He violated her with his fingers and foreign objects. He was convicted on three counts of sexual assault. 3. The guys interrupted his sexual assault on the woman so he fled to try to get away. Your question seems to be positioned to give Brock some defence as to why he fled. "If" he was scared and fled because two guys were chasing him. No. They interrupted a rape, he was not "done" and then ran. 4. Yes. He raped the girl while she was passed out. He had several charges that he was arrested for and was convicted on three. Regarding your comment about "hysterical rape" concern. No man (or person) should be convicted with no evidence and everyone deserves a right to an unbiased fair trial. Instead of looking at it from the "hysterical rape" view, try looking at it from a different perspective... An incredibly large amount of rape cases go un prosecuted, rape kits sit in evidence lockers for years with no action or testing, the victim is usually subject to shaming and or pressure to "let it go". And also.. How would you feel if your mother or sister..or girlfriend was raped and the cops did nothing. There is a "hysterical rape" "culture" because there are so many rapists out there. I have been sexually assaulted three times in my life, I also have two sons. I am teaching them to be extremely careful when they are out with a girl.. Advising them to never leave a party with a girl who has been drinking. To stay alert for themselves as well because not all rapists attack women.. And to stand up and fight for any person that has been assaulted. 5. The sentencing guidelines for the crimes he was convicted of (guilty of) were 12+ years in prison, he received an extremely light sentence because the judge "didn't want to harm this kids chance at a full productive life. I.e. He had immense compassion for this garbage human. He only served three months. Put it this way... Imagine that you are drunk and passed out in an alley. A man finds you.. He gains access to your ass and proceeds to stick his fingers inside you, or his dick..or a bottle.. To the point where you have debris like pines needles inside of you. Brock's father is on record that the sexual assault lasted over 20 minutes AND he considered the encounter as "getting some action". You survive the trauma because two people came up to the man and restrained him until police could get there. Should we care about your trauma or should we give the guy a break because he made a "mistake"? 6. Rape kit and subsequent exam as well as two eye witnesses are the evidence. There isn't "no evidence or just the girl crying". She was unconscious.. She was rescued from further trauma by the witnesses. 7. No innocent man should be railroaded and no our judicial system is not perfect.. And yes.. There have been some bogus rape accusations out there, which are a horrid thing to do to an innocent person. There are so many violent crimes against women out there who are not getting help and have been severely assaulted. Imagine going through something like that and then hearing some guys downplaying the reality of the situation by using terms like "hysterical rape accusations" or "she got what she deserved" etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking for evidence but please understand what message you are sending any rape victim by framing your questions as you did..or lamenting about news media hype. Set a timer and sit in the quiet for 20+ minutes..then imagine that entire 20 minutes as if you were going through a terrible assault. It can seem like a lifetime.
F: 1. He was convicted, based on the evidence in the rape kit, the two eye witness accounts and by his own statements. His father is on record calling this "20 minutes of action. 2. THEY didn't have a drunk mistake.. She was unconscious and therefore could not consent. He violated her internally, that is rape. He only stopped when the two eyewitnesses stopped him. She was still unconscious. She didn't get a decision. There were a couple of assault charges that were dropped as well. He got a fair trial, an extremely lenient judge and a whole lot of "good ole boys" support. If you want to understand what it is like then go pass out and have a man penetrate your ass to the point of having debris inside of you.. And no, a woman being the perpetrator should have any double standard.. But sadly there is a whole lot of men out there that think of something like that as "he should be happy, he got some" or "she was hot, way to go" .. The same thing happens when a female teacher assaulted a male teenager. It isn't right and there should not be acceptance of that. Given how you proposed your questions you clearly side with Brock and seem to think he didn't get a fair sentence.. Sadly there is some "hysterical rape" culture out there because of the enormous amount of sexual assaults being committed. I have two teen sons, I am teaching them to be very careful when dealing with women, or with alcohol..etc. They need to protect themselves from assault as well as from an unfounded accusation. There was evidence.. You seem to think eye witnesses, rape kits and the perpetrator's own team acknowledging the assault as 20 minutes of action... That is "no evidence" to you.

As always excellent job Philip DeFranco and team.
Went through the comments of today's video and became mortified when seeing that there are people not just defending Brock Turner, but are fans of him. Yikes.
Ross E There's too much to unpack in your comment, that I know even if I wrote the best essay in the god damn world to break it down and explain to you why victim-shaming and rape are morally frowned upon, you wouldn't change your mind. So all I can say is that if you and I were in the same room, I'd want to stay a minimum of twenty feet away from you at all times.
Ross E but he does cover women too. Fam it’s not the gender that’s the problem it’s what he did. If he was a 60 year old guy you wouldn’t defend it
Ross E Sexually assaulting an unconscious woman with the intent to rape isn't "an honest mistake" it's an active choice.
Ross E "honest mistake"
"Oh nooo theres an unconscious person. Oh noo i accidentally dragged them behind a dumpster. Noooo now im dry humping her, damn it!!! *darth vader nooooo*" D:
Gimme a break. That was no "oopsie", no crime is an honest mistake. And you clearly dont understand what its like to go through something like that. Much less to think they've had to hear the bullshit news on their case. I hope they are ok.
About the Firefighters:
1. Overall I think it's good that the inmates are able to fight fires in a volunteer program. The prisoners being able to earn wages in prison is nice and I understand why they can be so low, since the extra cost of holding a prisoner is removed from their wage. However, the business practices involved in prisons seem pretty sketchy and should be looked at.
2. I think the limiting of potential is a terrible idea. In the current system we focus on punishment and taking away privileges, which initially seems like a good idea, but if there are barriers that prevent someone reintegrating back into society, then there is not much incentive for them to try and do so.
Note: Running prisons like a business on top of making ex-cons have a difficult time readjusting to society seems like a recipe that will just keep people in prison, meaning cheap labor for the owners. Whether intentional or not, I think we should instead focus on rehabilitation vs punishment.
Scott Reeves I would be so glad if private prisons no longer existed. Their business model relies on recidivism. They don't care about rehabilitation or punishment. They just want prisoners to keep coming back so they can make money. I can't believe they actually exist. It's morally disgusting.

you SNAPPED and i'm living for it
thank you for being so passionate about us victims and always shedding light on our stories ♡
When is Disney going to be considered a monopoly?
cinnamonseahorse never. Not under current laws and regulations at least. A monopoly is an outdated term really. A monopoly means that a seller faces NO competition and is the SOLE seller of goods.
I do get your point that the consolidation of market share and power is getting out of hand but there no laws stopping it and there likely never will be. The corporations and lobbyists have corrupted every corner of the government and control them to THEIR bidding not ours. It’s infuriating and has been going on for decades.
The sooner we remove money from politics the better.
I thought they were getting close to it, hence Fox selling off Fox News.
The whole argument they made about Brock was so ridiculous, even if he was going for ‘outercourse’ (which the evidence says that’s completely not what happened), he still did it to someone who was unconscious, meaning he’s still guilty of sexual assault
guess they were trying to get off the intent to commit rape part.
yes but he isnt a rapist. They seemed to want that off the record, which they are at perfectly at liberty to go for. Sentence BT for what happened not for the overreach the media hyped up.
How is _fucking someone while their drunk without their consent while you're still rational_ *NOT* rape?
I love that they allow the inmates to fight fires. lets some of the them still work and get out while doing good and learning skills. Also showing that they are good people and that just because they went to jail they can be a productive member of society.
I agree that allowing inmates to volunteer to be firefighters is good we need to change the world outside of prison to be more accommodating to people with criminal records so they can actually have jobs and not be forced back into crime. That would truly show that they can be productive members of society
Loved the Sinclair/Tribune story. Please include more stories like that. Your team makes top content.
If you make person fight the fire when they are in prison, why not give them a chance to become a firefighter once they are out?
Allow, not make, they are doing it voluntarily. I agree with your premise though.
*AND PHILLY D STILL JUST JUMPS RIGHT INTO IT!*
I’m of the personal opinion that what got a person sent to prison should determine what kind of job you are eligible for once you’re out. Embezzling and you shouldn’t be allowed to be in a position that handles money. Shoplifting food to feed yourself or your family because of bad circumstances then maybe instead of jail the “punishment” should be training or education for a career with few applicants. People receiving a vocational education in prison, such as fire fighting, should be able to pursue that career after. You probably not going to stop a drug dealer from going back to dealing drugs if it’s something they enjoy doing, but you’ll stop a drug dealer from dealing drugs if they’re just doing to earn money if you give them another way to earn money. And I also think that prisoners should work in prison, provided that work is something they can use towards a career, is a useful skill to have in general, or it goes towards the welfare of the prison.
Fire-fighting inmates sounds brilliant. The restrictions on which prisoners can be a part of the program makes sense. Where it fails is when the inmates have served their time and are blocked from pursuing that career--that seems like a waste. Waste of resources, waste of the training they already have, and a waste of life. Why make it harder for someone to be a productive member of society?
Coming from someone who has a husband in prison, the jobs offered are a life saver. Yes, they get paid minimal. They do not need that much money. The jobs give them enough money to buy extra food in commissary, provide them an actual purpose while behind bars, and keep said inmate out of trouble. To disagree with jobs provided in prison is ludacris.
As far as taking away the right to vote for felons, that is ridiculous. They should have every right to vote in elections.
Allie Brennan A felon breaks law, and should lose some of their rights such as voting. When a driver kills someone, they lose their license. Want to vote? Don’t break the law
J T They lose their right to live in society for a certain period of time.
And no, you don't lose your license if you kill someone behind the wheel. Just ask the man who killed my 5 year olds father 2 years ago. Free man that never lost his privilege to drive. Nice try though 👍
Allie Brennan thanks for sharing this story
Allie Brennan nice proof though
J T feel free to google Scott Marksteiner in NW Indiana. Proof would be my name in an article when I gave my victim impact statement. 👍
The whole "Unboxing isn't a talent, X isn't a talent,......." no they aren't, but entertaining people is. How many big named Hollywood celebrities could have started as an unknown and become rich with a TH-cam channel where it's almost all based on the person's personality and their ability to keep their audience entertained.
Sorry but someone getting millions of people to watch them open a boxes of stuff 3 or 4 days a week is far more impressive then ten or even 100 times that number of people going to see a movie staring an actor/actress and that took 6+ months of shoots and reshoots to get right as well as months/years of editing and special effect. I personally hate PewdiePie's content, what little of it I've seen, but the millions of people spend hours each week watching him so he's got to be doing something right, even if it's not my thing, and that's impressive. He gets far more exposure to his fans than any Hollywood star, and doesn't need $200 million movies to get people to watch him.
Exactly! there are plenty of those type of videos that get no views because the creator isn't entertaining or passionate enough, and being able to draw people in is a skill and a talent. James was talking about the successful TH-camrs after all.
Yeah, it's sad that so many just need to bash anyone who does better than they themselves are doing, I mean it's the same class warfare and identity politics that so many push these days.
John Patz
Is it impressive? Or just a window into how sad we as a species are?
Firstly, I disagree that these people opening boxes become rich. It just isn't right considering the majority of citizens will work actual honest work and never even come close to that money.
Secondly, it really isn't entertainment as it is mindless bingeing videos. More often than not, people will just let TH-cam play videos for them out of sheer laziness. It is why trash creators get rich.
I completely agree! I think the person that made that silly comment fails to realize that even though both talents are under the category of film and entertainment...they are both very different skill sets. I see judgment like this so often when it comes to creative fields like these and other. It’s always due to a lack of knowledge on the amount of time, effort, and hard work that goes into these fields. Also just being plain ole mean and trying to make others feel small. Bleh.
John Patz people pay money to watch real celebrities in movies, these fake celebrities only got "famous" because they make content that is free to watch lets see someone charge for shitty makeup tutorials and get famous. That would be deserving of real money
Not gonna lie, thought the title said “Brock Turner DIED” and I got all excited for a moment. Damn Phil, ya kinda let me down.
Haha same here
Yeah, wow! What a different day THAT woulda been.
hey it’s not Phil’s fault Brock Turner didn’t die 😂
Prince Nixon he did and if you're going to say "it's was outer course" then it's sexual harassment at minimum. It's disgusted and he deserved a way harder jail sentence. Even if a woman did this, that's unacceptable.
Lauren Shubert omg me too
I had a few family members go through the fire program while they were incarcerated. They loved it, they didn’t mind the pay because they did it to get out of the jail itself. I think inmates in the program are a huge help. It is a bummer they can’t become firefighters but I guess that’s the punishment of having a record.
Those men if they proved they can do the job respectfully and honestly deserve a job as a firemen/women
TempRawr i couldnt agree more. If you do your time you deserve every right alloted to the average American.
