This is hilarious
Cops are sick of this guy's 1st amendment audits.
They came to his house 2am to sucker him outside to bust him
But his response is hilarious
Can fast forward to 2:15 when he finally answers

I kinda hate when people use their voice for their pet in a cutesy way, and misspell all the words on the video. How do you know your PET COULDN'T SPEEL IF IT COULD TALK?

"spell"

Reminds me of the way people perpetuate the baby-talk of their kids. I'm OK with being charmed with that when it is genuine, but I feel much of the time the baby-talk was initiated by a parent ... in other words, the kid was taught the wrong word and who knows what would have come out if just allowed to be natural

I am guessing the least experienced get a nice payout to their families.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Lately I've been irritated by the Facebook short videos they randomly offer

the ones with giant snakes and such I suspect are often fake

sometimes nothing happens in the short video and I'm irritated I clicked on it ... it's weird though
