I will put itall together into one. little neat little package. for people to hear exactly what theemployees have said about cockroaches, kicking them off the boxes and puttingthe pizza in there delivering them to everything else. But you see, I am not soconcerned about that. My brother has been threatened. He has hefl calledafagot. People have said I want to kill that fagot. I want to tell you what you arelooking at You are looking a potential sex crime hate crime. One has alreadyoccurred aheady It already has occurred because he has been threatened. Now,you could either put up your hands and say okay look we are going to talk to someof our employees and find out what happened. You can tell them that they arehing to you. I am talking about the Carters As soon as you start talking toanyone outside of the Carters, I am initiating a lawsuit.i don't play games.

are all illegal things. Urn.. .did they call John ever a fagot or tell the people hewas a fagot arid make threatening insinuations to John that he is a fagot and hemight begetting it. 1 don'tknow if you are writing anything down.

D(HJG: SPEAKING]

ED: Okay, I'm just saying. You know, did they ever do anything of that because, okay, andthat uh . .did they make any other threats to ernp1oyes not to say anything aboutdifferent things, about John about anything that they might have done, okay?Then you want to ask them about drug dealing, sending them on drugs you knowon deliveries. Tell them, you need to let them know that look, its going to becheaper for you right now and less embarrassed with no embarrassment

vhatsoeer becauseif it goes through anything, I

I

am making it totally public Iwill make sure they hear about it from California to Florida. It will make the

t national news because1 will make it that way. The point is, if. any of this is true ata ll .you need to tell them, look you can save your jobs and be on probation and idus ,know really what it is that they are going to be able to prove because if so weneed to make a settlement with Mr. linger. Apologize to Mr. Unger and leavehini alone and go on our way and you mister who over and so on and so forth aregoing. to be on pfobation. I am just suggesting. However you might want to .'

andle this because if you don't handle it that way, I am just trying to give aresolve a to resolve this Look if we wanted to rnal'e up a story ofsomethin& there is a lot of creative ways and ways, you know, they will just haveto prove. Lemrne just tell you, personally, I feel my brother has won a smalllottery right, here. Small, not a large one, a small lottery. If it goes to court, itwould be a very large lottery okay. I didn't tell him that I don't want to say thatkind of dung to turn okaybui look I atn involved with dealing with these kind ofissues and fight these kind of things that go on around. They have done it to thewrong guy and I was totally unaware 01 it. M) mother, rn'v father, nobody hadeven insinuated they were all aware of what was going on. All of them formonths., including the doctor which I could really strangle her. She should havemade a phone call and somebody should have done something. I mean this isreally a serious situation. lie is in fear of his lile These guys when they deal withcrystal meth amphetamine. They're whacked in the head because they are usuallydoing it and they are whacked in the head. So, for lack of better terminology, youneed to speak to Y our ernplo\ees I guess ask 111cm whatever and then we need togo ahead and we need to meet and try to resolve this. if it doesn't make, sensewhat 1 am saying then we will, just go the other route. .11 doesn't make adifference John is out of money tight flow but I guess farntiv members orwhatever will have to help him and it \\iIl be a bi.ger collect to him later. Wehave got hate crime, harassment, I 'mean this is sexual harassment in its worstform.. This kid never did anything H. was an excJlent cmp1oce and anyonewho knows him. An,' yone who knows he is an excellent worker. He 'would sthyand they would make him -heystuff that they two people are supposed to do
