I watched it as well. I then watched a bunch of people explain that it is the fault of the white man basically that only one hospital will take them. Apparently, everyone should have to pay more to fund these hospitals so that they can get filled with criminals who got shot by other criminals.

Thanks, I'll be waiting.
