Hi G-Lers

The likes of Ebou Jallow will only respond to intimidation and fear because
this what they perceived as the only way to persuade someone to answer their
questions. Although I am not a fan Jemus, I know that he surely knows how to
get at his man.


No matter how much he flatters or praise the Butcher would not change his
circumstances in the least.  It is such a pity to see a supposely brave man
stooping down so low.

However, If I was living anywhere near him, I would make sure Iwiil squeeze
him so hard to get an answer on the whereabouts of the 3,000,000 dollars he
so uncermoniously pilfered.

peace
Mohin
