Tim reads about actor Jonathan Tucker rescuing children during a home invasion near his Hancock Park house, then explains at length why he personally would drive away rather than intervene in any similar situation.

In this bit9 moments
  • Jonathan Tucker is an actor on a show called Kingdom, living in Hancock Park, LA—an old-money area with legendary real estate from the silent film era.
  • Around 6:34 p.m., Tucker spotted a stranger entering a nearby home, ran in, and rescued a terrified young girl, then went back for her mother and infant while an intruder was still inside.
  • Tim says he wouldn't have done it—running into a stranger's house during a home invasion could have gotten everyone killed, and he'd rather stay out of people's business.
  • Tim's actual strategy: if he saw someone break into a neighbor's house, he'd get in his car and drive away to avoid being blamed or shot by police.
  • Guys who look like Tucker get to run into houses and scoop up infants as heroes; if Tim did the same thing, he'd be shot in the face by LAPD.
  • Ring video shows the intruder walking up to the Hancock Park home, letting himself in through the front door as screams erupt from inside.
  • Tim finds the story disgusting—a Black man walks into a house and the family screams, which is the real story here, not the heroics.
  • The neighbor who reported the suspicious man is smart not to be identified, because media narratives could turn this into a Kyle Rittenhouse situation in minutes.
  • Tim's stance: if he sees a Black guy go into a house in California, he assumes he was invited and doesn't get involved with the situation.
