Transcript
00:00Brandon Fulton is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
00:03Animal Service is finding four horses dead on his property
00:06and five others in heartbreaking conditions.
00:09I'm not a criminal.
00:10So I'm like, but once I get into the court system with the horses,
00:14it's like, damn, it's trying to make me like I'm a criminal.
00:18This agency for 10 years have put cases on me, cases on me,
00:23and they all got dismissed.
00:24I was on house arrest for six months with an ankle bracelet
00:28and had an $80,000 bond.
00:33I don't understand why he was arrested.
00:35It should be real simple.
00:37Case dismissed, return property.
00:40If I was what they said I was, then why you didn't prosecute me?
00:43That's the question I want the world to see.
00:45With my lawyer hat on, I would say, hey,
00:49that I think he might be entitled to the return of his property.
00:55Was the taking constitutional?
00:57Your property rights cannot be taken without due process of law.
01:03I enjoy his fight.
01:04I think it's the right fight because somebody has to stand for the black former.
01:09Somebody got to stand for the black cowboy.
01:11He was already DJing in New York, but when he came to school,
01:18he came prepared to DJ in Atlanta.
01:22Then he transitioned from Brat over to Jaquan.
01:26I think horses became purpose.
01:29I think horses became passion.
01:31And it's hard to walk away from purpose.
01:35I'm a horseman until the cash is dropped.
01:36I plan on being buried right here.
01:43Buy land.
01:44They can't make any more.
01:46When you got land, you're in a different game.
01:49The United States of America can print money all day,
01:51but they can't make no more land.
01:53Keeping something natural is conserving.
01:57If we use everything up and don't give it back,
02:00the generation to come won't have it.
02:01You know, we're losing bodies of water,
02:04doing deforestation for the enjoyment of entertainment
02:08and living as the population is growing.
02:11Eminent domain is the power of an entity,
02:13usually government,
02:14to acquire private property
02:16and put it to a public use.
02:18If we can't come to a negotiation or agreement,
02:21the government has the right to go in and say,
02:24hey, we're doing this for the health and safety
02:26of our residents.
02:27And then you won't get anything.
02:28So you play hardball all day,
02:30but at the end of the day,
02:31that's usually the case.
02:33Just looking at it from, you know,
02:35the past 100, 150 years,
02:37black land ownership has declined significantly.
02:41Land ownership should always be on our radar.
02:43When you got property on a major through fare,
02:46then you are targeted
02:49because it's in the way of progress.
02:53And that's what Brandon represents to that county.
02:56He's in the way of progress.
02:58I got offered $3 million for this property twice.
03:02And I turned it down.
03:04It's got to be about the horses on this land.
03:07Got to.
03:08I can't give up my dream for their dream.
