    [footsteps and voices as they're walking away...]
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    [interviewer] So, how do you feel?
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    [person in pic] powerful! and happy!
  • 2:55 - 3:03
    [interviewer] yeah? um, do you think that it went, um, as well as you had hoped?
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    [person in pic] um, it went better.
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    i mean, i thought it was going to, like,
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    not happen for a second,
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    and then, it did [laughing]
  • 3:12 - 3:18
    [interviewer] um, what do you think particularly was like, um,
  • 3:18 - 3:23
    what do you think worked? what do you think was effective?
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    [ person in pic] the mic check was extremely effective,
  • 3:25 - 3:29
    because when he went inside, he obviously still heard us all,
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    um, i think it was effective that we had so many people with us.
  • 3:33 - 3:39
    i think it was effective that, um, we left a demand letter on his fucking car.
  • 3:39 - 3:40
    [interviewer] you left two right?
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    [person in pic] we left one on his porch too,
  • 3:42 - 3:46
    it went really good.
  • 3:46 - 3:51
    [interviewer] cool, and um, do you think he got the message?
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    do you think he'll leave you alone now?
  • 3:53 - 3:54
    [person in pic] i hope so.
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    im still nervous, cause i just know him, and...
  • 3:57 - 4:03
    as you... in the video you see how violent, hopefully you see how violent he is,
  • 4:03 - 4:07
    and i'm just hoping that he fucking got the message.
  • 4:07 - 4:14
    [interviewer] um, cool, and so i guess, where do you, what would you say to someone else
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    who might be in your situation?
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    [person in pic] um, definitely do this,
  • 4:19 - 4:24
    because it's very important to hold people accountable for their actions,
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    um, and to never let, if someone's ever treating you that way,
  • 4:28 - 4:31
    to not let them just continue treating you that way,
  • 4:31 - 4:37
    or, like, you need to let them know that that's not acceptable.
  • 4:37 - 4:42
    Also, it feels really powerful to have fucking 28 of your friends behind you,
  • 4:42 - 4:45
    and screaming with you,
  • 4:45 - 4:47
    even if they dont know the whole story,
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    they just believe you.
