But my mom got killed recently in a fire. - [Interviewer] And how old are you now? - 23. - [Interviewer] 23. And you got a black eye. - Yeah. - [Interviewer] How'd you get a black eye? - A date. I asked him to go get some more crack and he just took off on me. I'm a clone so people control me, so they use technology to orthodox him to beat me up, 'cause they get frustrated 'cause I'm comfortable, when I get comfortable. - [Interviewer] Do you have any family at all, any aunts, uncles? - Yeah my dad, but he turned out to be a molester, so-- - [Interviewer] So just your dad, is all you have? - Yeah. I don't have no support. - [Interviewer] You have no support? - No. - [Interviewer] And the only money you get is from guys on the street? - Right. - [Interviewer] Oh boy. - Or I ask for dollars and change from the liquor store around here. - [Interviewer] Wow. - [Amanda] But I do wanna say, it's kinda random, you did an interview me before, but I wanna tell my country, thank you so much for, you know what I'm sayin', the whole downtown thing. I'm sorry for not cleanin' myself up and really tryin', but, you know what I'm sayin', thank you. - [Interviewer] How long have you done crack? - [Amanda] I only did crack like a year and a half? - [Interviewer] Only a year and a half? - [Amanda] Yeah. - You were in college just a few years ago though, right? - [Amanda] Yeah, like crack is the best thing for me. It really lifts my heart and it's like, you know what I'm sayin', it's my everything. - [Interviewer] Crack is your everything? - [Amanda] Yeah. People lean on drugs, you know what I'm sayin'? - [Interviewer] Who are you hanging with now, the gentleman, that is. - [Amanda] I just hang by myself, or with somebody that has crack. - [Interviewer] Oh, so he has crack for you? - [Amanda] Yeah, I search for crack all day, I crave crack. - [Interviewer] And sometimes the guys beat you up. - [Amanda] Yep, he beat me up. - [Interviewer] Who beat you up? - [Amanda] This Mexican, I'm a clone, so I'm bein' controlled. So the people that control me get frustrated when I'm comfortable, so they orthodox him with technology or they control other people to beat me up. So, it was hard. - [Interviewer] Amanda, there is a couple of mental health places, they're are right in the neighborhood here. Would you mind, maybe, going over there? - Yeah I been to the mental home a couple of times, but I get frustrated and there's no drugs, you know what I'm sayin'? - [Interviewer] And what do you do? - I just get frustrated there, there's no drugs. - [Interviewer] And you leave? - No, you know what I'm sayin', like, two or three days. I stay two or three days. - [Interviewer] And then you leave? - Yeah. I'm a clone, so I'm also hurting someone else, 'cause they use animals to, you know, that's part of the technology they use to clone you. So I'm hurting someone else. So I die today or tomorrow. So you really just gotta stay productive in this country, make sure you have a job, make sure that everything's together, you have a purpose, you're always reachin' for something, because they'll kill y'all here, you know what I'm sayin? I have a storyline in my head, you know what I'm sayin', 'cause my country put a storyline in my head, so in that storyline, they say that in America, you know what I'm sayin', everybody gets murdered, so just live life to the fullest, I don't know how true that is, but I know I'm a clone, so, you know what I'm sayin', that's what's up. - [Interviewer] Okay so Amanda, if I wanted to walk you over to one of those mental health facilities here, that's good? - No, I'm gonna get killed today or tomorrow, so I wanna be out and doin', you know, crack, and just bein' out. So that's it. (laughs) But I'm glad I got to make a second video with you, so I can tell my country thank you so much, and, you know, to person that writes my thoughts might tell you I had some ungrateful times, but, you know what I'm sayin' I'm very thankful. I'm so sorry about everybody dyin' and stuff, I didn't know, but when I heard about them, you know what I'm sayin', everybody, you know what I'm sayin', I can't change things. - [Interviewer] Alright Amanda, I'm gonna see if I can -- - [Amanda] Thank you, thank you America. - [Interviewer] Thank you.
