“Let’s stop this. This is not the block, this is not where we grew up… This is not the neighborhood, this is a serious medical situation. If you go and do what you are not supposed to do, you are putting other people’s lives at risk,” he said. “I understand that we are talking to some 20-year-olds and guys that are young. And so, the message needs to be, ‘don’t do t. If you see something, say something.'”
