Video summary
The video transcript centers on a tragic and complex series of events involving a fatal police chase on the A66 road near Middlesbrough, UK, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and five young men in a Volkswagen Passat. The incident was sparked by alleged gang-related turf wars, specifically following a "ram raid" where suspects drove a vehicle through the front door of a teenager's home just forty minutes before the fatal collision. The narrator expresses deep shock over the high-speed nature of the pursuit, noting that the police car appeared to be driving on the wrong side of the road and seemingly engaging in a dangerous game of chicken with the suspects, a tactic he argues is highly irregular and risky for law enforcement.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities have arrested seventeen individuals in connection with the incident, including those charged with organized crime, firearm possession, and making threats. The transcript highlights disturbing details about the victims' social media presence, revealing that some of the deceased were filmed engaging in reckless driving and posting content that glorified dangerous behavior for clout. This raises significant questions about whether social media platforms incentivize such extreme actions by young people seeking attention. Additionally, the narrator discusses the broader cultural context of gang activity in the region, where rival groups often engage in violent property damage and intimidation, suggesting that the crash was not an isolated accident but part of a larger criminal enterprise.
The tragedy has been compounded by further loss of life, with a separate house fire occurring shortly after the crash that claimed at least two more lives, including a young child. Police have stated they cannot rule out a link between the arson and the wider organized crime group involved in the A66 incident, leading to fears of a coordinated attack or retaliation. The narrator reflects on the devastating impact on the tight-knit community of Middlesbrough, where many emergency responders and residents know each other personally. He also critiques how news outlets and social media often sensationalize these events, potentially glorifying the criminals involved while overshadowing the grief of the families and the sacrifice of the fallen officers.
Ultimately, the video serves as a somber examination of the intersection between street crime, organized gangs, and modern digital culture. The narrator emphasizes that while investigations are ongoing to determine exactly what led to the crash, the sequence of events suggests a deliberate escalation involving multiple criminal factions. He calls for a balanced approach to understanding the situation, acknowledging the role of social media in promoting dangerous behavior without dismissing the reality of violent gang conflicts. The conclusion underscores the profound heartbreak felt by the community as they mourn nine lives lost in a matter of days, urging viewers to respect the grieving families and recognize the severity of the circumstances that led to this unprecedented tragedy.

grow the uh family from Chicago to the
UK. Right behind me, you see it. Warning
screen. I think this is a touchy,
sensitive subject. Um, from the titles
of these videos, this might be touchy to
the streets and it might be touchy to
it's definitely touchy to the officers
involved
and the innocent families that were
involved
who lost loved ones, but
um, twitch.com is where you can catch a
live stream and YouTube usernames at the
bottom of the screen. We also got
Patreon Monday through Sunday. Premier
League has started back up. We are on
time. Everything is up to date. Go lock
in. go look over it, go see if there's
anything that you want to, you know,
view. Um,
just uh that's in the description below.
Man, this is the A66
incident
and what it was sparked over allegedly.
We're going to cover a few videos. One,
two, three, four, five, six.
And I really want to know y'all comments
on this. Um, this is where I really get
into my
bouncer,
my DJ academics type energy because
there's a lot of stuff to unpack here.
Keep in mind, I know nothing at this
moment. I know there was an accident
from a police chase. Two officers passed
away. Five
suspects passed away. There was a car
crash into a house.
A house rammed.
Um,
and I don't want to allege anything, so
I just want to look at the videos and of
course give my commentary on what like
how I'm connecting it. You know what I'm
saying?
So, let's get into this, man. So, I
guess we'll start with the oldest video
I have from three days ago. This from
Sky News. Uh, let's check it out.
Let's bring in our correspondent, Katie
Barfield, who's in Middlesbrough for us.
And Katie, we now know the identities of
the five in the car, the Volkswagen Pat.
>> So, it's a Volkswagen Pat. Okay. Normal
vehicle.
>> We do indeed. that update just within
the last half hour from Cleveland police
confirming the names and the ages of all
of the five people who were in the
Volkswagen Patat um at the time who lost
their lives in this deadly crash as
their pat uh careered head on into a
police car that was being driven uh by
>> head on into a popo car.
I was literally just before she said
that I was wondering like how did all
five
like I feel like that's a
god forbid it happens to anybody but I
feel like it's a rarity for everybody to
you know what I'm saying
[snorts] and guaranteed at least two
maybe at least one one of those people
in that car didn't want to be there 100%
that's normally how it go like dang
there's one person in there that just
went off Peter pressure at least.
That's that's messed up.
>> PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Kluff who
also was being driven in this deadly
crash as their pass uh careered head on
into a police car that was being driven
uh by PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Kluff
who
>> and I see like during head like
high-speed police chases like it's like
we watch a lot of police chase videos,
you know what I'm saying? So like this
is a serious subject. We watch a lot of
police chase videos on this on this
channel.
It's a it's rare that I see
I've never seen actually I'm not saying
it's not possible, but I've never seen
a police car
willing to play chicken
with
the suspects. I've never seen it. Never
seen it.
I don't think I've ever seen it. Like
that's high risk. That's too high risk.
Like nobody's coming out of that.
That's messed man. Keep going.
>> Also died. We now know that all of the
occupants of the Volkswagen pass were
male. They were all either teenagers uh
or in their early 20s. I'll just run
through the names of them. Uh again,
Michael Robert Cahill was 23.
>> I'm going guess this is Michael Roberts
Cahill. Theo Ray who was 17, Cole Robert
Worthy who was 16 years old, Jacob
Matusiaak who was 23, and Mai Saddington
who was 18. Now an incredibly sad day.
>> That's messed up.
These two are full grown men.
Still got their frontal lobe
undeveloped, so they can't they make
rash and stupid decisions. But I don't
know, man. These dudes are super young
up here
>> for the community around here. This is a
very tight-knit community in this part
of the northeast. And all day we've
watched people coming to lay flowers and
tributes uh both for the police officers
who lost their lives and also for the
people who died uh in the Volkswagen
pass out. Some of the balloons uh behind
me here have been left for Michael who
of course uh is one of the people
Michael Cahill who lost his life in the
pass out. Several notes have been
written uh in memory of the people who
lost their lives. We've also seen a
couple of police officers in uniform
coming to lay flowers and pay tribute.
>> My initial thought was why why
were both of them driving
or was one sitting still and one just
was going like boom and hit him.
Like what? Like what? Like I need more
info cuz I just don't see the police
playing that type of game with anybody.
No, nobody. I don't see that. I don't
see that ever
being a tactic of the police in no
country like that. I don't see it. So, I
just need more like
I need more. I need to know what
happened.
>> Their colleagues. Now, the investigation
here is still ongoing as well. There is
still a large section of the A66 that's
closed behind me at the moment while
police continue their investigations.
We've been watching over the past 24
hours. police forensics teams coming in
combing through uh the debris from that
crash. We saw a car being moved on uh by
a recovery team yesterday uh evening. So
they
>> had to be a devastating crash like it
had to be stuff like parts everywhere
from the vehicles
>> will be continuing their work uh to
piece together their investigation.
There also is an investigation
simultaneously ongoing uh by the
independent office for police conduct.
standard in any case where there are
deaths, where the police are involved.
>> And that's going to be important because
that ties into my line of questioning.
Was the police sitting there or were
they really playing that game of
chicken? Because that cannot be standard
protocol in any office across the UK.
So, it leads me to like I just don't
like that would be shocking if they did
that. That's what I'm saying. They will
be wanting to look not just at the crash
itself, but in the moments leading up to
that and the decisions that were made.
We understand that PC Blades and PC
Kluff were not invol involved directly
in the pursuit of the Volkswagen pass as
it hit them. Well, it was driving the
wrong way down the A66, but that other
teams of officers had been
>> Oh, he was driving the wrong way down
the A66.
I thought it was like for some reason
I'm thinking it's like a
like a one of those thin roads and you
got to pull over and they just No, this
is okay. You were literally on the wrong
side of the road. So, we've seen that in
a lot of police chases. But
what time did this occur?
Hold on. Okay, because I have to go get
a look at the road. It is a dual
carriageway. It is separated by a clear
median, but I do do I do know for sure
whatever it takes in a criminal's mind
to get away, they're gonna do. They're
going to put themselves at high risk so
the police can back off. And from this,
here's the Volkswagen right here.
Crunched.
Crunched. Devastating. Had to ignite.
Police cars flipped over
from Van. I know the police car stopped
and it's had a bend. This is a bend in
the road, too.
But I'm wondering if like they got to
this. No, this is a long bend. So maybe
this car was the Volkswagen was gone,
gone, gone. And they probably didn't see
each other, but the police knew cuz
they're on comms. They knew what was
happening. Maybe it just they didn't
expect her to be that close. And I'm
pretty sure that Volkswagen came around
this corner and didn't know that that
car was the police car is right there
cuz this is a crazy bend. Like you going
at speeds
that would do this to your car. It had
to be super fast. Had to be.
[clears throat] That's that's crazy. And
the fact that these officers are over
here having a cup of coffee, like get
off the scene of the crime. Get go home.
Go sit in your car and do that.
I'll be taking stuff like this as
disrespect lowkey, but but whatever.
That car. So, the IOPC will be wanting
to look at the decisions that were made,
often split-second decisions, of course,
in a high-speed pursuit like this. Uh
they'll be wanting to look at the
communication uh between officers and
>> was that it cuz this looked different
this road
>> possibly whether there was any
communication uh with PC Blades and PC
cloth.
>> Was that picture I pulled up the correct
one? Cuz that it kind of look a little
bit different
>> as well. So the investigations uh are
continuing here. What we don't know at
the moment is the circumstances of the
crash. Although we have been told the
names uh and the ages of the occupants,
we haven't been given any details about
the circumstances that led uh to this
impact other than Cleveland police
saying uh that family liaison officers
are continuing to support the families
of everybody who lost their lives.
>> Katie, we had that emotional uh
statement from the chief constipal of
Cleveland police, Victoria Fuller,
yesterday. Just give us a depth, the
sense of emotion as well even today
within the local community.
Yeah, you could just hear it, couldn't
you, in the Chief Constable Victoria
Fuller's voice as she named the two
police officers who had lost their lives
yesterday, visibly and audibly uh
emotional as she named them. Uh she
spoke about having visited their
families personally uh to break the news
to them, which we can imagine must have
been very difficult, particularly as
Cleveland police is quite a small force
and quite a tight-knit community around
here. I spoke also to the local police
and crime commissioner, Matt Sto.
>> We've seen
This is not a um this is not like an
isolated incident in Middlesborough
either. There's a ton of police chases
in Middlesborough.
This is Middlesboro like just from my
research on our own on this channel.
Middlesboro,
they have a lot of police chases. Like
we they're they're in they're I I follow
their police force
like on YouTube. like I follow their
channel because I know they're going to
have something
>> very early and he was talking about that
about how it is a small area. It is a
close-knit area. It's likely that many
of the officers and also many of the
other emergency services uh who worked
here uh may have known each other. So,
this will be a loss really felt hard uh
in the cle Cleveland police community,
but also in the wider community here.
Plenty of people who've come down to lay
flowers said this is the kind of
community where everybody knows each
other. So, this is like the beginning of
the site because the road is closed. So,
that picture that I showed could be the
road, but y'all I'm pretty sure y'all
going to let me know 100%.
Yeah, I just went back and looked at the
article. That's that's the road
>> talks to each other. So, it will be very
deeply felt.
>> All right. And this is the BBC News
coverage. This from two days ago. So,
>> hello. I'm Lucy Hawings. Welcome BBC
News. Now, we start with some breaking
news from here in the UK this hour.
Cleveland police says it has arrested uh
12 people that is in connection with a
head-on car crash on the A66 dual
carriageway on Saturday which killed
seven people including
>> Wait, 12 people was arrested.
So were 12 people initially committing a
crime? So were were 17 people initially
committing a crime and then five hopped
in the whip and ran off or something?
ing two police officers. The police are
launching a widescale investigation into
what they say is the criminality which
took place.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's the part that I
heard. Okay. The criminality
in America, we got something called a
Rico. The whole gang going down and
because of there was a loss of life
and there were officers involved that
loss of life. Oh, everybody. It's a it's
it's done
in about three years. Middlesboro is
going to be a place they go that's going
to be the the best place to live.
Ain't going to be no crime. It's over
with
>> prior to the fatal crash is the
criminality which took place prior to
>> Okay. So, what happened prior to it?
>> Let's take you to our reporter Philipper
GMA who joins us uh now. Philipper, just
bring us up to date.
So on the morning of Saturday the 22nd
of August, Cleveland police received
reports of two vehicles being driven
dangerously in the local area in the
northeast of England. The first vehicle
was a Volvo and that was ramming
properties in a town called
Middlesbrough. The second vehicle, a
Volkswagen
>> ramming properties
>> sat is believed to have been associated
with the activities of that Volvo XC60.
Now,
>> number plate recognition cameras picked
up that these two cars were using clone
plates. The Volvo had been involved in
the initial reports has been traced and
recovered in Middlesbrough as part of
this investigation. Police inquiries
have resulted in 12 people being
arrested across T-side. Nine men and
three women aged between 19 and 61 have
been ranging
>> 19 and yeah, they got everybody.
Somebody's snitching. All they need is
one person to snitching. Everybody's
going down. aged between 19 and 61 have
been arrested on multiple offenses
ranging from possession of a firearm to
participating in the activities of an
organized crime group. And the police
have also pointed out that at this
current time there is no evidence to
suggest that filming of the activities
that took place on Friday and sat Friday
night and Saturday morning has taken
place for the purposes of Tik Tok and
that four of the occupants of the Pat
for who died had previous police
convictions.
>> Here's my thing.
I'm pretty sure the town and its
residents have been complaining for
years about this stuff that's been going
on.
And I'm pretty sure the policing was,
you know,
spotty to say best. All right, let's
let's go check it out. Let's show our
presence. All right, we've done our job.
Let's chill for a little bit. All right,
let's put some AMPRs up. Let's let's
let's
let's make the residents feel a little
bit comfortable.
But boom, as soon as them officers
RIP, too. Now, let's say that first and
foremost. But as soon as those officers
pass away and and anything that could be
related to street, oh, it's over. Now
it's ramped up maximum.
What happened to the preventative
measures that could have prevented any
of this? Like I'm just speaking from the
outside looking in. I I'm I'm just
taking a educated guess of how this
neighborhood probably went.
>> And that is the latest update on the
incident on the A66 that happened near
Middlesbrough in the early hours of
Saturday morning. 12 people arrested.
>> Thank you, sir.
>> So, seven people passed away, 12 people
arrested.
much. Well, as we've heard, the
government has told social media
companies, including Tik Tok, to take
content down that shows dangerous
driving. Our senior technology reporter
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
>> Sha McCullum uh joins uh spoke to us
earlier.
>> I'm pretty sure only posted by the
police though. It can only be posted by
the police.
Dangerous driving has existed for a long
time, but the problem is now you're able
to film it, post it, and potentially
reach a huge audience with the
algorithm. And there's a growing concern
about these videos that are showing
young people fleeing the police, young
people going up the wrong side of the
street and showing reckless behavior.
And I think what's now the question is
that is social media the incentive for
doing more and more extreme types of
driving because people are getting
likes, they're getting shares. Uh and
they're being known for either being
cooler or notorious on
>> You know what this reminds me of? When
it when drill music first started in
Chicago and then the internet came
and made it so much more. So now I'm on
the internet. I could drop a song
dissing this person and this person and
this person and you going to get it and
a bunch of people going to like it and
it's going to piss you off. It's kind of
similar.
It's kind of similar. I I will say that
it would be tragic if they took that
off. I mean, it wouldn't be tragic. It
would be it I can't even say they wrong
in this because I'll be I'm I'm here. I
watched them.
I watched them. I react. I
but I I watch mostly police's videos
though. You know what I'm saying? Like
the ones the police and the news post.
But I can't I will say like that's
probably she's on to something. That's
what I said.
I said, man, bro,
putting this on the news,
the police putting this on their
channel, putting it everywhere. like
y'all just y'all doing nothing but
boosting their ego
like like we going we popping out every
Saturday. I don't think this was that
case
[sighs] because of all the other
evidence that I've heard like gang land
ramming houses ops doing this this and
the third. I think they was just doing
they was on some they was on some other
stuff allegedly, but I don't think this
is the case. But I think a lot of the
time,
yeah, clout is very dangerous. Let's put
it up for clout. Let's get the likes.
Boom, boom, boom. You know,
>> line. And that's why the government has
asked Tik Tok and other social media
platforms [clears throat]
today to take down any content that
celebrates dangerous driving. We've
heard from the prime minister, Andy
Bernham, speaking in Kiev in the last
few minutes. He says that the
glorification of dangerous driving for
clicks and entertainment is truly
reprehensible. Um,
>> yeah, we're not here for glorification.
We're here for educational purposes.
We're here to kind of thwart that
>> exposure to this kind of mater material
needs to be taken down. There is the
online safety act which Ofcom uh pursues
and tries to get this type of material
taken down.
>> Salute to you. But I feel like I do
something different. Um
it's rare that I have somebody like
somebody's material from there and it's
just posted on their channel and I watch
it. I normally go to the police channels
and watch or like BBC News. They've put
the police up and there the other
footage. So listen, no matter what, that
footage is going to be obtained.
There's a lay there is a layer of
protection on social media, but
sometimes it gets through and even if
it's there for a slight second, somebody
has screenshot it, screen recorded it,
put it somewhere, the news be on that
same thing. They be scouring looking for
that type of stuff too to put in their
report. So, I mean, it's it's still
going to get there. And let's not act
like the news these big these big news
stations are not perpetuating it, too.
Because if I'm a criminal and I see
y'all talking about me on the news and I
see my clip, boy, I'm lit.
Just put your I'm putting myself in the
mind of a criminal. Oh, I made it to BBC
News. Oh, what we on next week. It's
y'all, too. Don't think it's not. Before
it was social media, it was the news,
man. Y'all see me on the news?
Y'all see me on channel five, man. I was
Come on. Let's not act like that wasn't
a thing.
Don't pretend. But remember, if you're
old enough, remember before social
media, if you was like that back in the
day, remember?
Oh, man. I Hey, Channel News, Fox 32.
Yeah.
Like, let's not act like the news wasn't
always doing this.
Don't get up here and have that
that attitude. I get what you're saying.
Like social media, this this and the
third, but BBC News, the mirror,
all y'all going to do it anyway
regardless.
So,
I hear you.
I agree kind of. But I also will say
don't act innocent. Don't call. Don't.
Isn't to me it's like a Isn't that
calling the T pedal kettle black type
situation? Y'all going to do it too. The
news been doing it. How you think we got
the the the rhythm?
It's the same.
We just cut the not not we. My bad. Let
me take myself out of there. They just
cut the middleman out.
Gave it direct to consumer.
But let's not pretend like y'all don't
perpetuate and
Y'all don't glorify it. Y'all don't do
this and that, but y'all definitely put
it up for clicks.
It's 2026
or views or or or surges back before
internet, however you want to watch it.
All right, so this is the mirror. This
is 15 hours ago. A66 crash sparked my
turf war after home of teen victim
dad ram raided before. Whoa. Hold
on. Five more arrests have been made in
connection with the A66 crash near
middle A66 crash was sparked by turf war
after home of teen victim. So, one of
the teens that passed away, his
home,
no after home of teen victim
dad ram raided before deadly crash.
After home of teen victim's dad. Oh, so
one of the teens
dad ram somebody's house.
What's ram rated?
cuz I know what RAM is and I know what
raid it is. So what did they Ram then
raid one of the like teen victim's dad's
house?
Oh,
so one of the Okay, I get it. So one of
these victims dad's house got rammed by
the ops. It got rammed and then raided.
I think that's what that mean. But that
I I think I got the first part for sure.
One of these teens that passed away, one
of their father's home got raided by a
right that like got rammed by a rival
gang. Okay,
I'll read what's behind me.
A 16. Let's mute the music, man. They
throwing me off.
A 16-year-old boy and two men aged 18
and 21 were arrested on suspicion of
participating in an organized crime
group.
Okay,
I think I can go up top for this. Let me
Yeah, let me go up here. Get out your
way.
Oh. Oh. A 55 year old man has been held
on suspicion of assisting an offender
and a 23 year old man was arrested on
suspicion of making threats to
all five remain in custody bringing the
total number of arrest in connection
with the investigation to 17.
Coleworthy 17 was one of the teenagers
in the crash. Coleworthy forever in our
hearts. Join us as we come together to
celebrate the life of Cole. Remember
happy times and release balloons in his
honor. Balloon release. Everyone is
welcome to come. RP Cole, man.
RP Cole.
Oh, so this was his dad. Wait, his the
house that got rammed, his father's
house was allegedly ram raided at 3:00
a.m. on Saturday, just 40 minutes before
the devastating
incident. Oh, wow. So, that happened at
3:40 a.m. Oh, it was dark outside then.
Ram rated. So, they ram this door. Did
they Let me see what ram rated means,
man. Hold on. Ram rated. A ram a ram
raid is a crime where thieves drive a
stolen vehicle directly through the
front window or door of a store to break
in and steal items.
Wow.
So this is what I Okay, so this is what
I expected.
So Cole's dad's house, where Cole
probably lays his head every night to
rest,
got rammed by a vehicle and then
suspects came into his home. That's what
ram rated means, right?
40 minutes prior.
Okay. Okay. Let y'all want to know where
I'm at right now with it. After Cole got
that information, Cole made a phone
call.
Either Cole was home or Cole made a
phone call. This is already an existence
be existing beef. They hate each other.
Whoever they ops is, they don't like
each other. Ram raiding somebody house
is insane. This means you don't care
about the consequences. You don't care
about CCTV. You don't care about
[snorts] what comes with your actions.
So
this is a beef that's deep. So when they
did this,
they instantly
had to spin probably allegedly,
called up the boys, mobilized.
It is alleged that the Volvo X6 was used
and that
in that vehicle is now central to the
police investigation into the tragedy.
Okay.
A vehicle deliberately reversed in into
the front window
twice, causing extensive damage,
according to those living close to the
scene. Yeah,
it ain't that bad damage. I ain't going
to lie. This home built pretty pretty
good.
If this wasn't protruding out like this,
it would be more damage if it was just
like that. Oh, the brick is cracked
though.
Yeah, they're probably going to have to
take all of this out and redo everything
cuz this brick brick is cracked right
here for sure.
Old windows busted out everything.
Within minutes, the Volkswagen pating
got who how do you say his name? Ge
worthy son Cole and four friends was
caught on CCTV racing at between 80 to
100 miles per hour down Lime Road in
Tesville pursued by three police
vehicles.
So, was guy was Cole even home
or did he just immediately call the
guys, hop in the car, or was he even
home?
Is this a case of ma'am, they they plan,
we can't catch him. Let's go X, Y, and Z
to his pop's house. What? Which?
All five passengers were when the
Volkswagen Pat going the wrong way down
the A66 hit a Cleveland police armed
response vehicle. heading in the
opposite direction at 3:39. Dang, it's
only 40 minutes 39 minutes later.
Two police officers, PC Matthew Blade,
37, and PC Tom Cloth, 38, were also in
the collision. RIP to both of these
officers, man.
And the line of duty is tough. Um,
prayers up to the families, prayers up
to the kids. Um,
that's tough.
There is no suggestion that Gworthy 39,
a company director, was involved in any
criminal activities, but the attack on
his home appeared to be the flash point
for the chase between rival. Yeah. See,
here we go.
It just it just makes me wonder, was his
son Cole already outside? And how old
was Cole? Did they say
we at 141? How old is Cole?
How old is Cole, y'all? 17. Okay, so
17, man. You very impressionable.
Could probably be outside at this time.
And it's Saturday.
Yeah, he was definitely outside.
Videos online show used in Middlesbor
wearing bllo clouds and setting off
flares and fireworks and a noisy tribute
to the five following the crash.
A gang of around 20 mass use on
motorbikes and quad bikes roared around
the field in an honorer
in honor of Jacob
Mataus Matasic 23 who had convictions
for motoring offenses. The scene sparked
fury and in social media. First and
foremost, I don't like the fact that
they just called this a gang.
It could be, it could not.
But the fact that they went with the
latter, like,
can't we remain neutral and not,
you know what I'm saying, point the
finger to this being a gang?
This just might be the culture around
there. Like, I've been to the UK, people
ride motorbikes in the in the areas like
[snorts] that just that's just the
culture, the vibe.
That's like in Florida, too. They they
ride motorbikes. That's that's just how
it is. It is what it is.
Oh, my bad. And I know for sure this is
like I live right now currently I live
in an affluent neighborhood with a bunch
of Caucasian kids that be on
motorcycles, ballet claws with motor
helmet like and I don't call them gang
members.
But please, it's out the mud. Y'all
ain't never seen no trauma in y'all
life. I know not to. [snorts] But I know
I also know this a different area. But I
just don't like seeing the word just
because they got on ballet slavas they
automatically like all right
[clears throat]
let's move on
one commenter wrote
I get it that their families and friends
will be devastated and grieving but
surely in circumstances where they have
two innocent men who were simply out
doing their job. You grieve in private.
You can't tell nobody how to grieve.
Period. Yes, they were in the wrong.
[snorts]
Innocent people passed away, but you
never tell nobody how to grieve. That's
just like a rule of thumb. We all grieve
differently.
The fundraiser for the families of PC
Tom Claw 38 and PC Matthew Blaze 37 near
the 1 million mark. More than 900,000
has been pledged to two separate
GoFundMe. Oh, that's what's up, man.
I'm pretty sure they had some type of
life insurance plus this GoFundMe plus
whatever the um plus whatever the
whatever you get for passing in the line
of duty also. Like I'm pretty sure
there's some cop police thing that they
get also.
So they going to be good. But that that
doesn't equate to a life. And so once
again, RIP
This is from Manchester Evening News.
Two in house fire sparking
investigations with police not ruling
out link to A66 crash.
Dang.
Yeah. Once once once
there's like
once in an unaliving occurs once people
lose their lives
[snorts]
especially if you in a ging like
everything going to get blamed on ops
but y'all rammed this dad crib and I
don't condone anything but Like every
action has a reaction.
It just gets wicked in this world.
Especially in this gang world. Wait,
there's reading at the bottom. Police
have launched a mer
and are understood not to be ruling out
the links with the fatal on a66.
Two people lost their lives in the fire
in Burlington Avenue in Graange
Town just after 5:00 a.m. today,
Wednesday, August 26th. Dang.
I've never seen so much consecutive loss
of life in the UK.
Like boom, this happens, boom, this
happen. This reminds me of like like a
little bit like mid 2000 like 2015 2012.
The last time
a woman in a hospital in critical
condition with three people suffering
life in
the blaze happened about 2 miles from
the scene of the crash on A66 last
weekend and seven people that unlive
seven people including two police
officers. Cleveland police said they
cannot rule out any links to wider
organized crime at this point. No, they
can't. What I tell you in a previous
video, like it's a Rico. Everything's
going to connect now.
It's over.
Everything's connecting. Let me move
this to this side, man. I don't like it
on this. But they going to connect
everything possible.
And if whoever did this get caught on
CCTV, believe me, you part of the Rico.
This is bad timing for you.
Oh, they just going to show the house
now.
That's a number. How did this happen,
though?
So they think it's like not like a
electrical
candle type situation. Like wouldn't it
be kind of simple to find out if it was
like a
what is it called with the
the um cloth in the bottle or the gas?
One of those.
They just showing.
Hope they got homeowners insurance, man.
RIP to life lost there, too. But the
police Yeah. Especially only a couple
blocks. Yeah. They they they're tying
all of us together.
I think it when two officers pass away,
if you in that life, that underworld
life, it's time to lay low.
It's time to go off the grid for a very
long time.
or or else you going to get 40 years.
Keep playing.
Nobody's sparing anybody. If you get
caught doing anything like this, the
judge is going to make an example.
Okay, we get to hear them talk about it.
>> Well, this small pocket of
Middlesborough this evening suffering,
reeling from yet more heartbreak in
horrifying circumstances. Police only
confirming in the last hour that two men
have now been arrested in connection
with what happened here.
>> Oh, they got somebody.
>> Oh, yeah. Y'all cooked. Not only is it
arson, but don't let them tie you to
either one of these affiliated
gangs. You You're fried. It's over.
>> On suspicion of murder, a 23y old.
>> Oh, I forgot somebody passed away. Oh,
yeah. We are ready for
>> and a 31year-old.
We know no more detail than that other
than the fact that they are being held
for questioning. It's been confirmed as
you say that a child was killed and our
understanding speaking to people locally
here is that that child may be as young
as just 7 years old.
>> This blasphemy.
>> The possibility that this may be linked
to what happened on the A66 remaining
tonight. A possibility. What is certain
though is that within the matter of just
a few days, nine lives have been lost
here. Two of them.
>> That's what I'm saying, bro. I ain't
never seen that much devastation in the
UK. Like that close. Nine is insane.
>> Police officers.
>> All right, Peter.
>> And one of them a child.
>> Nine.
Nine.
Wouldn't that be 10?
Seven people on the A66,
two adults in this house, a 28-year-old
and a 31 year old, right? And a child.
That's 10. Not that it matters. It's
still like a a crazy number, but
it is a scene from above that quickly
conveys the horror of what happened here
at around 5:00 a.m. this morning. The
inferno so intense that much of the roof
of the property collapsed in. But how
how could this be
how could this be a link to the A66?
Like I don't get it. Like if you if you
trying to do something like like this as
a criminal and you trying to spin and
get your get back or do something. I
don't know what what ideas they have.
Why would the roof be loc Why would the
fire be located to just the top?
Do I have access to your house? like
>> burned away in minutes. The inside of
the top floor scorched through.
20-year-old Ellie told me she helped
raise the alarm before other neighbors
tried to help rescue those inside.
>> Shout out Ellie.
>> Many she said it was just too hot.
>> I threw the kids
and everyone shouting and stuff and I
just went down the road shouting
everyone sideways and my friend and I
knew I knew the woman. I ignore the the
kids.
>> That's what he say.
>> We're all likely

down to earth. People don't know what's
going on there. You must be devastating.
>> No man, I don't I don't I don't think I
don't I don't I don't think this is a
part of that.
I would have to see like the report the
fire department report like because
they're going to figure it out how it
was started where where it where it
started at all of that. So bubbling
>> at the back of the property you can see
a ladder up to the window and sections
of fence have also been smashed down.
Signs of a struggle clearly to try and
get people out, but for two of them it
was too late. fire crews remained here
this afternoon. Their colleagues among
those who will have gone in to help save
lives in a brief,
>> you know, at that time of night like
what is it? You can't um
smell is like one of those things like
when you sleep like when you Okay, like
let me let me give you an example. When
you sleep and you dream like you peeing,
you think it's just a dream, but it's in
real life. Like smell is one of those
things where you think you dreaming it
like it don't it's not real. So you
could be in a fully engulfed all of a
sudden and then wake up finally like
wait a minute. My brain was processing
that differently than it normally would.
You know what I'm saying?
>> Statements issued
>> that fire looked like it was burning for
a minute before. online. Cleveland
police confirmed their fears. Their
suspicions are the same as many others.

to establish the circumstances of
exactly what happened, but we're keeping
an open mind and cannot rule out any
links to wider organized crime.

Hospital in a critical condition. Three
others are described as suffering
non-life-threatening injuries. We

two men for this but how like what they
do threw it through the top though.
They could have. They very well could
have.
Let me know what y'all think in the
comments on this one. This is a
This is a crazy one. Like, you had to
put in real effort. Like, you are trying
hard at this point. You really don't
like whoever's in this house
to get that to where it needed to be,
where you thought it should be. RIP
though to everybody. I really thought
about listening to these people talk,
but I feel like I should. So,

LBC's reporter, who's been looking, I
know, at the online element of this,
comments, calls for Tik Tok to do more
about such videos uh as we've seen um
and just the conversation around what
young people are up to when it comes to
this kind of so-called joy riding. M so
Sheila, in the aftermath of this
horrific crash over the weekend, footage
emerged on Tik Tok showing one of the

going through a residential area in
broad daylight before veering onto a

and appearing to drive uh with one hand
on the steering wheel, the other holding

social media accounts followed by some
of the teenagers and young men who were
in the car which was going the wrong
way. And I found this community uh that
uh routinely glorifies reckless driving
and also displays this palpable
disliking of the police. One t

Do we think it's just what do we think?
What do we think though? which
