Jimbo Fischer (Season 2 Finale FOR REAL)

Joining us for a very special interview is the subject of our previous episode, Jimbo Fischer.

Trooper Jason Young Watchdog Group (Season 2 Finale)

To wrap up season 2, we're going to dive into a story that has no current documentary because it is still a story in progress. In March of 2022, a Mississippi man named Jimbo Fischer was targeted and harassed by a state trooper named Jason Young. As a result of Mr. Fischer's issues with not only Trooper Young, but the justice system as a whole, a Facebook group with over 14k members has sprung up in support of Mr. Fischer.  We discuss how we discovered this story on Tik Tok, share our feelings on the case and talk about how this story relates to law enforcement in the US as a whole.  If you'd like to contribute to Jimbo Fischer's legal fund you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/fight-for-peace-and-justice?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer&utm_term=undefined Join the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/606182591152814 Follow Us: https://www.instagram.com/auntneandclayshow/ https://www.facebook.com/TheAuntNeAndClayShow
