The Foreword

The Diary and The Plot evokes an emotional response from the reader at first read on the first page. I say, at the first read because this book should be a part of everyone’s personal library. There’s not one of us, that hasn’t experienced or watched Lascivious behavior in the work place. That fun fact is what I call a sorry state of social affairs. I’m a sociology major. College was a long time ago. Thank you, Jesus for leading me through the Liberal Arts maze of possible non-decision, to at least study theories of thought that I use to reference and understand human actions and conditions in every single aspect of my life.

Doctor Davis understood human condition and responded right from the start of this bully’s interactions and infusion into his life. Dr. Davis is a Theologian and Biblical Researcher. At the time of this book’s creation He was in Security/Law Enforcement. He understands evil in its simplest form. He saw it, identified it, documented it in (the diary), exposed it then in (the plot). He walked away with as much dignity as humanly possible and forgave them because they knew what they had done. Dr. Diallo Sekou Haki Davis survived the predator. What a great gift he gives to us all, because through this nonfiction book we have a better chance to also survive predatory behavior.

Dr. Davis sees a clear and direct link between the Precedence of a Surreptitious Serial Predator in the workplace that results in physical violence. He suggests that his case study be used as a tool or a lesson in any work place where harassment is occurring. The books format can serve as a time line or template for harassing situations that occur and should be reported. Dr. Davis is giving us a way to identify the predator. He identified his predator from the first interaction. In my opinion, God wants Dr. Davis to herald this news from the concrete jungle parking lot! There are several examples of Dr. Davis’s forethought, I believed that saved his life.

I personally know Dr. Davis now. He made it. He has a few battle scars, but he is still fighting back. This nonfiction book teaches us all about his journey. That journey is pretty darn grotesque and intimidating at a few turns. It reads like a great novel. However, it is nonfiction, Dr. D’s Memoirs. It would show as a suburb film. It leaves the reader understanding that yes, this read might very well be the answer to the sociological dilemma that has insidiously made its way into every congregate group of people in today’s society. Lascivious behavior can be exposed and irradiated through active knowledge of the situation. Dr. Davis’s book makes that all possible. The Diary and The Plot can and will make a significant contribution to finding a solution that ends violence in the work place and a happier and more conducive environment that promotes positive interaction and individual success.

Thank you, Dr. D, God blesses all of us through your strength and courage,

Introductions

This book has been rated for mature adult readers; however, it is also suitable for readers starting at age thirteen and older, but only with mature adult supervision. This book is not suitable for children under the age of thirteen years of age.

This work of nonfiction is an educational, controversial, and psychological study into the mind of a surreptitious serial predator or bully, who turned out to be my supervisor in this, my memoirs of a corrupted workplace. I write this book as a warning to others who may cross paths with this person of interest. Before we start my story, I want to share some facts that I am sure you are aware of nevertheless, I present them anyway; they are important to the issue at hand. In these facts you will see how people are victims of violence in the workplace. After you have considered the facts, I will present my story. Then after I present my story, a startling reality will give precedence to all the questions you have pondered over before. Questions like, why is violence created in the workplace? Yes, I said created. I am sure that your questions will be answered, including questions relating to mental illness being triggered as well. Please keep these definitions in the back of your minds as you read this book.

Violence. Behavior involving physical force or mental anguish intended to hurt, damage, or kill. Strength of emotion, an unpleasant or destructive natural force from within.

Sexual slander. "The action of making a damaging, defaming, unethically sexual or spoken statement that damages a reputation or mental fortitude of a man or a woman. Compare with libel, a false and malicious spoken statement."

Mental abuse. Mentality used improperly and to excess. Mentally treated with cruelty or mental violence especially in being assaulted sexually. Speaking in an insulting and offensive way, the improper use of something cruel and violent, mental treatment and especially sexual assault.

Sexual harassment. Sexually tormenting (someone) by subjecting them to constant interference or intimidation mentally or physically, an unwilling act upon a person that sexually makes repeated mental or physical attacks on (that person) for the sport of it and to satisfy the attackers sexual need to harm or to wear down a person’s resistance. The ingredients that are established in the creation of violence in a workplace, including school systems and institutions of higher learning. Definitions described by our country’s dictionaries.

Today everyone is sort of curious. Why does violence occur while we’re at work? Generally unexpected violence that had been secretly bubbling up like volcanic lava slowly then erupting. In order for it to erupt, there has to be agitation; know one simply commits violence unless provoked. There has to be something or someone to agitate a tendency for violence. For instance…

An Analysis

Studies show that extreme violence occurs in our workplace. What preventive measures can we implement into society? My story will answer all the questions on why violence is created in our workplace. Every act of violence must have a beginning. Educate yourself on what I have been through. Violence can be avoided in many cases substantially. The employee-selection process should acquire persons that not only have the necessary skills set but also ensure that individuals are mentally, socially competent and be legally compliant. One of the most accurate predictors in determining the potential for future violence is a history of violent behavior in the past. Also, domestic partnerships that are a source of problems off-site will often find their way into the workplace.

Management has a responsibility to deal promptly and professionally with such situations. Discrimination-, harassment-, and violence-prevention policies and procedures are the basis of a strong support infrastructure, as is commitment from the top of the organization. Management training should reinforce the need for incidents and individuals to be handled in a consistent fashion. Identification of early warning signs and timely response to potential violence should also be part of this training. All employees need to understand their shared responsibility in the prevention of harassment and violence in the workplace. All of this is fine, but you have missed the point of interest. Predators and bullies are also in management; they are supervisors! Why do you think a person would kill everybody then kill himself? It’s because a predator or bully caused the issue at hand. No one would believe what he or she would say, so his or her intentions are to kill as many as possible as a cry out for help, to anyone who would listen. To let you know that it was a predator or bully in management that was doing the character assassinating time after time, and all went along with the abuse, and that would set anybody off!

An Analysis

A twisted obsession usually starts with subtle contact, but unless effectively checked by someone in authority, can escalate to violence. Others may be manipulated to achieve the offender’s objective. Unless there was a two-sided relationship, the perpetrator had no entitlement to closure. He must be held accountable for his inappropriate actions. In this case, with a combination of intervention by the male colleagues, the victim screaming, security and the police arriving on the scene, no injury occurred. The offender gave up, and the gun was a fake. A thorough, timely, independent, and skilled investigation is essential in such cases as it provides the facts necessary on which to make future decisions. Because of investigations confidentiality, those with information are likely to speak out. An investigation will reduce speculation, reveal errors, establish accountability, and recommend future prevention measures. The victim has the feeling that those in authority care and proper process is being followed. An investigation that is not launched in a timely fashion will lose its effectiveness. Debriefings have a place and must be properly structured, but they do not replace the value of a thorough investigation.

Okay, all that is fine, but we are doing nothing about the real problem: predators and bullies in the workplace and in authoritative positions, which gives the real victim no recourse but to retaliate with violence. You see, the idea is, you have me cornered, and there is no way out; you have gotten me fired. I am going to kill you, the predator or bully, and all those who were involved. That is what is happening in our society.

This book was created to help working Americans and people worldwide in workplaces, in school systems, and in institutions of higher learning. We must be aware of the precedence of a surreptitious serial predator in our work environments. The ideology of this book is to read it and infectiously recognize the primary causes of violence that can and quite often does occur in the workplace. This violence that resonates from abuse and harassment can and often does contagiously fester into a hostile environment where violence can manifest. Abuse and harassment are categorically believed to be the smoking gun behind the occurrences of violence in the workplace. This book is an actual case study into events that occurred between January 1996 and August 1996 at the Law Enforcement Agency of Georgia, my former place of employment. This story will present itself as one of Georgia’s greatest cover-ups. In this study, we’ll examine the birth of abuse and harassment in its infancy and abuse and harassment that develops, aggresses, and intensifies in its daily quest to create violence.

We have a unique opportunity in this book to examine the tendency to commit abuse and harassment and how it festers into violence. Stopping this is the key to stopping violence and exposing the predators and bullies throughout the country who prey on the weak and the subordinate employee for whatever reason. This can be achieved with the help of Americans and people around the world in their various roles of society. As a society, we can commit ourselves to the dedication of bringing forth solutions on the subject of violence in the workplace, including our systems of learning. Together, we can stop violence in our environments before it occurs again somewhere else. Document on paper the time and date of the incident(s) and take your reports to a notary public. Then inform your human resource department with your report(s) of the incident(s). Ask personnel to please take charge of your situation. You should do this when the incident occur and in a timely fashion. Yes, in a timely fashion to save lives. The longer you wait to report abuse and harassment or sexual harassment, the more it will look as though you condoned the incidents.

Report incidents to your nearest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) federal office and file a formal complaint with the federal government, depending on the degree of the offense. You will have people behind you, and you will be federally protected against any type of retaliation, which could occur after what is known as whistleblowing after an incident is reported. If it is of a minor nature, then your human resource department can handle the situation. However, I would still have the incident documented on paper and notarized before a notary public to certify that the incident occurred and is true. The document could be used as evidence thereafter. Don’t wait like I did until it is too late to do anything. In the state of Georgia, a right-to-work state, you have 180 days to file a formal incident report with the EEOC. However, you should first go to your human resource department in a timely fashion and to the federal EEOC office ASAP—in other words, right after you have your incident notarized. Again, this is what I should have done—and the sooner, the better—so the incident can be properly documented and the problem stopped at its source. What is a predator in the workplace? A predator is anyone who is comfortable with abusing or harassing for the fun of it or for sexual favors in a work-related environment among fellow coworkers. These predators create what is known as a hostile work environment. The definition of a predator is an animal or person acting like an animal who preys on others, a person who exploits others. I ask you, is there a predator in your workplace?

Dr. D

This story will give you insight on how you can be framed, blamed, or fired for absolutely nothing that you have done at work. Nevertheless, being framed, blamed, or fired by someone in the workplace that is far cleverer than you could ever be is a possibility. This is a story of a cover-up within the state of Georgia in the city of Atlanta, USA. I was not sure of the legality of using the real names of the defendants, attorneys, and others involved, so I changed their names for this book. However, my name and some others were used because I know personally they would not mind because their roles were very small. Nevertheless, this book is a work of nonfiction.

*******

I met what I call a serial predator or bully while working for the State of Georgia. He managed to dupe two high-ranking officials within the agency who happened to be his superiors. He cleverly manipulated them to participate in his harassment and abusive tactics that they inflicted upon me. I was a state employee, as well as a man of God, with aspirations of becoming a chaplain in law enforcement for the State of Georgia. This book could very well be the smoking gun, the connection that will link us as a society as we determine why violence occurs in the workplace. This book could be the answer to averting the tendency to commit violence in a work environment. Please judge for yourselves. Examine the evidence in this mock trial (as I call it) to see if you can discover how many labor laws were violated. How many human rights violations were committed? How many civil rights laws were violated, if any? How many acts of abuse and harassment were committed?

Why did I choose to write a diary of evidence describing my place of employment that turned out to be the ultimate environment of hostility? Why? When I could have simply gone postal, as so many employees have done before me as they buckled under pressure, as newspapers throughout the country have proclaimed. Throughout my ordeal, I grew to understand that the written word was far greater than any weapon. He who uses a weapon usually dies by that weapon of choice. As for me, I wanted to live to tell my story. I would not go quietly into the night, to selfishly commit suicide, or leave society in the dark as to why violence occurs in the workplace. No! That was not going to happen to me.

This book is dedicated to the memories of former State of

Georgia senator Francis Gregory and Mr. Donald Campbell of Australia.

Amen.

This book is also dedicated to the loving memories of family, my son, friends, and other supporters who understood the urgency of preventing violence in the workplace. Don’t sit idly by and possibly become a victim yourself.

This book’s content is based on public records and eyewitness accounts that were transcribed from a whistleblower’s diary of evidence. The defendants’ depositions inside this book were taken from the original transcribed testimonies under oath. The language or spoken word in each of the depositions was not altered for this book. Even though I use the term mock trial, the diary of evidence and depositions are true. However, because this case never went to trial because of the State of Georgia cover-up, everything in this case will have to be made as a mock trial so the world can see that justice or just us is for just them!

In our nation’s workplaces, including our nation’s school systems and in our nation’s institutions of higher learning, we ask what is occurring behind closed doors? What are the dirty secrets that go on there that we have never been privy to? Well, I hope this thought-provoking book causes you to wonder no more. My story is dedicated to the law enforcement agencies that were misinformed on the real perpetrator when they arrived at the scene, only to find a victim with a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound to his body, along with carnage from his or her rampage. My book is designed to introduce to the law enforcement community and our society a new type of predator: one who is present in almost every workplace, in every school system, and in every institution of higher learning. This is a predator who will stop at nothing to target someone for abuse and harassment. This is a predator who will turn their prey into a victim, who will eventually not be able to take the abuse and harassment any longer. It is always only a matter of time.

This book will encourage law enforcement agencies to reopen a massive file of cases they thought to be closed. My story will, for the first time in history, place a premeditative character, which I call a surreptitious serial predator, at the scene of each of the cases that have been closed and forgotten. People will start to remember that there was someone that was always picking on the victim, a predator who killed others. Someone who made fun of him or her, someone who made up jokes in front of others in an attempt to belittle the victim, causing the victim to remember each person responsible for his or her demise when the time came to kill them all.

This surreptitious serial predator who skillfully orchestrates an environment to fit his or her planned masterpiece shapes each character to his or her liking. The surreptitious serial predator then creates an environment to which all of his players are targeted and placed in their proper perspectives psychologically and, on the bases of that, applies pressure until the victim cannot take any more abuse and harassment. The result in workplace violence erupts in the school system. Violence erupts in the institution of higher learning. Behold the perfect hostile environment to which any type of spark could set the subordinate employee off, the misunderstood school student off, or the misunderstood college student off. For the first time ever, we have an opportunity to be mentally awaken through the exposure of a real predator to whom I nearly became a victim of myself.

After you have read my story, it will set a new precedence into reasons why mass murderers kill in work environments, in school systems, or in institutions of higher learning. Why do they kill? Were they a part of a greater influence that may have existed? Are they surreptitious serial predators with a talent to manipulate and skillfully orchestrate minds into a hostile state? Can an assassin be created? Is he or she generally the very first real victim in these past incidents? They generally had to have been targeted themselves for abuse and harassment first unless they were mentally unbalanced, which would have made it even easier. Somewhere down his or her path of existence, someone had to have triggered some type of emotional spark that emotionally set his or her mind off. On a personal note, as a doctor of ministry, a man of God, and not a doctor of any type of mental health association, it is plain to see that something is wrong here. In my situation, after the surreptitious serial predator had targeted me, he then started bringing into play other players or employees. These coworkers were led to believe that I was different. Abuse and harassment inflicted on me was the norm. All the rest of the coworkers did not understand what was going on and weren’t interested in finding out. They were somewhat fearful of this predator’s abusive and harassing tactics. They went along with the program so they could keep their jobs.

My story will bring to mind why I believe mass murders occur as the ingredient to create such an environment unfolds. You will see from my perspective how I was victimized. You will see how I lost my job, why I lost my job, and how I was nearly compelled to commit violence because of the lies and trickery that were so carefully orchestrated to make me look like the bad guy. This infuriated me. The surreptitious serial predator was getting away with costing me my job, and yes, I wanted to totally eradicate him from the face of the earth. I did not want anyone else to fall victim to him and have to go through what I had to go through. For a moment, a long moment, I wanted to kill out of rage! This is what I believe happens to so many of the mass murderers who came back to the workplace looking for the person who got them fired. However highly enraged, especially after not being able to find the one he or she really wants to get even with, he or she turns the weapon of choice on himself or herself, ending the whole ordeal. Since police could never find a real motive for their actions, cases were closed. I may be on to something that would have never been brought to our attention had I not been targeted for abuse and harassment in the workplace. Those who have died and were labeled mass murders in a workplace, school system, or institution of higher learning were never able to tell their side of the story until now. Just think for a moment; they very well could have been victims themselves, influenced by someone to do what they did.

I will tell my story and perhaps their story too as I nearly became a victim myself, being irrefutably abused and harassed in my workplace. In workplaces, in our school systems, and in our institutions of higher learning around the country, what happened to me is happening to countless hardworking Americans every day. This is, without a doubt, something worth looking into. I believe you will be surprised at what you will find. For the first time in America’s history, an opportunity to view abuse and harassment up-front and on a personal note has emerged. You will establish a bird’s-eye view of this dramatic study of how abuse and harassment takes shape. You will witness abuse and harassment’s quest for supremacy in the mind of a subordinate employee. In this book, you will have an opportunity to examine how I, a subordinate employee, viewed this abuse and harassment as an attack on my character. Moreover, I viewed it as a declared act of war on my personal life and well-being. This surreptitious serial predator also launched premeditated character assassinations my way. Finally, I concluded, after an innate fear of losing my job emerged and with everything to lose, I had to blow the whistle on this surreptitious serial predator who was my supervisor.

Politics cleverly disguised as a form of the agency retaliation turned on me. Like lions in the wilderness feeding on helpless prey, termination for whistleblower, which was a daily diary of evidence that was turned in for my proof, was the outcome. So I did what any normal person would have been inclined to do under the highly traumatic circumstances. I entertained thoughts of total eradication of my surreptitious serial predator and his abusive and harassing behavior, including anyone else associated with this predator’s antics from the workplace. Does this sound familiar to many of our nation’s newspaper headlines from times in the past? Violence in the workplace! Before we start entertaining thoughts of total eradication through violence in the workplace, the public needs to read this book. Like so many of you, I thought this would never happen to me. It did, and it could happen to anyone. This surreptitious serial predator that I met up with is still out there. I am afraid he will eventually strike again. It is in his nature to hunt for someone weak to prey upon. Nevertheless, the nation’s newspapers will call attention, possibly to the subject of violence in the workplace. Is this a valuable subject, a type of teaching tool? Yes, it is because it will challenge your own way of thinking forever. This book examines the major cause why violence can occur in the workplace. It examines a new type of predator, a predatory instigator who loves what he does.

Now that we have exposed this predator for the very first time ever, I ask you this question: is there a predator like him in your work environment? Learn the surreptitious serial predator’s demeanor. Learn how this predator works on the minds of subordinate employees or classmates. This book will challenge the minds of law students, seminary students, and corporate and government workers. It will also challenge the minds of executives, psychologists, students of psychiatry, doctors of psychiatry, students of psychotherapy, doctors of psychotherapy, pastors and ministers alike. It will also challenge the everyday working American and student as well.

This Is a Nonviolent Disclaimer from the Author

This book will not try to encourage violence in the workplace. However, after one has read my story, a feeling of outrage may occur as thoughts of your own situation may spark something negative. It may influence one to act in a way that is not suggested in this book. As a man of God, I detest any forms of violence. In addition, I do understand that I personally came very close to committing acts of violence in the diary of evidence. My book, nevertheless, does not make any type of justification for the reader to commit any type of violence in their workplace or educational system because of their personal situation. The objective of this book is to teach one what not to do and simultaneously teach one what to do when one is confronted with a situation similar to the contents of this book. Simply follow its instruction on how to avert the tendency to commit violence. Learn from the mistakes I made in handling my situation as described in the contents of this work of nonfiction drama. Everything I did in the book was out of fear, confusion, rage, and instability. Yet I overcame my ordeal through my faith in God. This faith that I have even to this day kept me then and keeps me now from any violent episodes that very well could have occurred. Nevertheless, no violence occurred. All who read this book will go away with a positive sense of direction and a sane and practical attitude toward their own situation. The teachings in this book will help the reader to examine and learn from its contents in hopes of making a better work environment for all.

Part 2

The Preface

Welcome to my n onfiction mock trial courtroom drama or my autobiography. I will present my case study so you can understand why people are driven to kill in the workplace. I firmly believe as we are subjected to mental abuse and/or sexual or nonsexual harassment, we reach a level where we just can’t take it anymore, and insanity takes over. After being mentally tormented through acts of embarrassing and belittling character assassinations, face-to-face in private, and sometimes in front of fellow coworkers, we tend to not have an avenue of escape. The stage or atmosphere has been set in place, where everywhere you look in this created hostile environment, you are looked upon as the bad guy. This could also be said to exist in a school or college setting. As you already know, my name is Dr. D. Back then in 1996, when this occurred, I was known as Security Officer Diallo Davis; and as you already know, I am the author of this seemingly incurable story. I am a black minister and presently a member of a Conservative Southern Baptist–affiliated church in Norcross, Georgia. I would like you to understand why Christian thoughts, religious thoughts, and scripture verses from the Bible were used in my story. It’s simple: to keep me focused on not killing the man! Christian principles and scriptures were implemented into my story to show where the subject of violence’s history began and how my faith in God saved my predator’s life. Yes, God saved the man’s life! Yes, God did! Current events suggested that this type of predator that I’m about to introduce you to wasn’t dealing with just any ordinary man but a man of God and a man on the edge, as you will agree with later on. It seemed as though I was somewhat of a challenge for him, so it seemed at that particular time. The challenge for me was to not go on a rampage of violent activity, as he clearly would have wanted me to. I believed his actions were for the thrill of the hunt. He was the hunter, and I was the prey. As a man of God, he wanted to break my will, as you shall see in this story.

Now, even though this is a mock trial, it is a true story. I simply changed the names of the characters portrayed in the story because I wasn’t sure I could use their names. Although their names are listed in the original language of the depositions, I used fictitious names but did not change any of the original language of the depositions. Nevertheless, we will see that even a minister was nearly brought to a breaking point. I believe Christianity, my faith, had an impact in saving this man’s life. We are only here to examine the facts of the case. We are here to participate in what I call a mock trial—a book trial, if you will—that will open your eyes to the facts that there is another view or theory to look at when mass murders occur in a work environment, a school system, or an institution of higher learning. There are predators and bullies out there who instigate and target the weak just to see how far they can go with their antics toward them. Imagine yourself a juror in the jury box of this book. Your participation is vital to the case. Weigh the diary of evidence against the defendants’ depositions. At the end of the case, the jury (you) will be asked to read the summation to the jury. Then you, the jury, will be asked to render a verdict; again, you do not have to. The jury will find the defendants either guilty or not guilty. Then the jury will be asked to e-mail the word Guilty or Not Guilty to the e-mail address you see at this time: [e-mail]. Your verdict will help determine if you agree or not that the crimes were committed against the plaintiff, Dr. D. Your participation would be greatly appreciated. Remember this: my predator is still out there seeking and claiming his next victim or victims. Of course, you, the jury, who do not have to render a verdict, should at least read the book. It could help you in the long run, or maybe even save your life someday. However, I would like jurors simply to read the story and, as jurors, at least render a verdict at the end of the story, please?

I would like to warn the jurors: although this book court case is educational and entertaining, it may cause a little disturbance in your own mind as you realize it could happen to you. As my incredible true story starts to unfold jurors will be disturbed from the very beginning. Nevertheless, jury members must maintain a fair and impartial attitude as a juror while reaching a fair and impartial verdict at the end of the case. That’s it, now curl up in your favorite chair and focus on the book. Your undivided attention will be needed because this book is also a caper. So enjoy and concentrate.

This Is a Salutation to the Publisher and the Jury (or the Reader)

The grammatical structure embodied in this book needs to capture the stress and nature of the individual characters being portrayed. This book will capture the feelings and mind-set of each of the characters. The objective is to capture the traumatic stress the author faced while transcribing the events that occurred. This also includes the expressions embodied in the depositions as the transcriber captured them. Man of the jury, I now present my story.

In my research on violence in the workplace after my ordeal, I learned some very interesting facts through public documents published from the Bureau of Labor Statistics involving workplace homicides in United States.

Workplace homicides committed by women in 1997 were 145, compared to men, who killed 715, a total of 860 homicides in the United States.

In 1998, workplace homicides committed by women were 164 times compared to men, who killed 550, a total of 714 homicides.

In 1999, workplace homicides committed by women were 126 compared to men, who killed 525, a total of 651 homicides.

In 2000, workplace homicides committed by women were 134, compared to men, who killed 543, a total of 677.

In 2001 (not including 9/11), workplace homicides committed by women were 128, compared to men, who killed 515, a total of 643.

In 2002, workplace homicides committed by women were 136, compared to men, who killed 473, a total of 609.

In 2003, workplace homicides committed by women were 119, compared to men, who killed 513, a total of 632.

In 2004, workplace homicides committed by women were 99, compared to men, who killed 460, a total of 559.

In 2005, workplace homicides committed by women were 98, compared to men, who killed 469, a total of 567.

In 2006, workplace homicides committed by women were 120, compared to men, who killed 420, a total of 540.

In 2007, workplace homicides committed by women were 113, compared to men, who killed 515, a total of 628.

In 2008, workplace homicides committed by women were 98, compared to men, who killed 428, a total of 526.

In 2009, workplace homicides committed by women were 83, compared to men, who killed 459, a total of 542.

In 2010, workplace homicides committed by women were 94, compared to men, who killed 412, a total of 506.

Workplace homicides incurred by men were down by 10 percent in 2010, but workplace homicides incurred by women increased by 13 percent.

I feel privileged to have been a survivor of workplace terroristic abuse and harassment, and though I was driven to the brink, I did not choose to commit violence. True, I was traumatized, but I was determined not to become a statistic, and it was not easy to refrain from a total cleansing of my work environment through violence. The negativity of the abuse and harassment in my case occurred nearly every day. My case could have turned into a statistical fatal workplace homicide had I not had my faith in God. Oh, many of you are probably saying, There he goes with the God issue. Hey, I am not sorry. I am here to tell you had I not had God in my life, I would have snapped, and I would be writing this story from a prison cell. A subordinate employee under unnecessary pressure that is not job related becomes much like a balloon. The more hot air blown into a balloon, the more stress becomes a part of that balloon. The bigger the balloon becomes, stress increases inside the balloon. Eventually, it explodes in an eruption of air and bits of rubbery fabric. This elementary principle can be illustrated with the mechanism of violence that takes place in a work environment. As stress is placed on people in the workplace, it causes them to become increasingly stressed. The hot air gradually fills the balloon until we stretch the walls beyond the breaking point. The hot air represents negative comments made to intimidate and belittle an employee in front of coworkers, which in turn creates an acute stress problem.

What is the result of this type of abnormal behavior placed on a person? It may be violence in the workplace, in our schools, and in our institutions of higher learning. In short, whether you agree with this Bible verse or not, it still sends a message that our necks are under persecution, we labor and have no rest, which was based on biblical evidence found in the Old Testament book of Lamentations chapter 5 verse 5. In that depiction, there were accounts of one of the very first scriptures to call attention to being abused and harassed in the workplace. I designed this book to help the American workers and students to identify with the real cause of all the madness in hostile environments. There are predators in the workplace, in the school system, and/or in our colleges and universities. There is always someone in the workplace, in the school system, or in colleges and universities who has a need to be the center of attention. Their need for a crutch, a need to abuse and harass people and subordinate employees for the sure pleasure of it, is creepy to say the least. Their actions show that they believe they are superior to subordinates. The subordinate employee or student appears to be most vulnerable to abuse and harassment when they reach a point where they can’t take it anymore, and one of two things happen: either the subordinate employee cowers by looking for another job or the student cowers by moving to another school, or they simply start killing as a retaliatory strike against their attacker(s).

We must face the reality of this issue and identify with the hostile environments these predators and bullies create. Expose the threat from a predator or bully without firing a shot. Don’t allow yourself to become a part of a predator’s antics. Shy away from the appearance of trouble by exposing them through whistleblowing. My objective here is to teach you ways to avert the tendency to commit violence in the workplace. Otherwise, you’ll become an innocent victim of a violent altercation. Stop and think about the newspaper articles mentioned at the beginning of this book. There were violent episodes in a workplace, in school systems, and in institutions of higher learning. Ask yourself this question: Why did the victim kill one after another but then come to one person, looked them in the eye, and passed them by? Was it because that one person was never a part of the perpetrators’ abuse or harassment? That one person was not privy to the laughter, the name-calling, or any other type of abuse or harassment projected at the victim by the predator who set it all up? Through this mock-trail workbook participation (as I call it) where you become a juror, you will get hands-on knowledge of how I was abused and harassed. You will read about the little comments that were made by the predator I faced. This alone will have you believing as I did that people were making fun of me because I was different or made to feel different. No one else was being treated the way I was treated.

This book will help you to overcome calamitous abuse and harassment once you have been targeted with characteristics of character assassination and psychological warfare. In some cases, if you did not give into the solicitation of a predator’s sexual advances, then the tables would turn, and you would be the predator’s target for retaliation. Failing attempts to solicit sexual favors or to simply exercise power over a subordinate employee and talk down to them just for the sport of having control over a person is a thrill to them. To them, it is very much like having sex. The satisfaction of being in control gave me the impression that my predator got rushes from it, telling me, I’m going to do everything in my power to get you out of this agency. Why? Because I would not give into the antics of him trying to use his supervisory position to psychologically control me with non-work-related abuse and harassment. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, so let me slow down here. This book will help you understand what is occurring in the workplace, in our schools, and in colleges and universities on a daily basis. Things are not reported to anyone for fear of a job being lost or becoming an outcast. Warning: this book documentary is educational and psychologically twisting.

One must pay very close attention to the dramatics of the whole issue as to what abuse and harassment is in your own minds. I could have won this case, but the issue of politics and not having the funds to pay my attorney became my downfall. Even though laws were broken, I still did not have a chance going up against a well-oiled political machine. So there was only one thing to do: either kill my predator and everyone else who had contributed to my character assassination and job lost or write about my ordeal in hopes that it will save lives in the future. Because as you will see, I have found the smoking gun to why violence occurs in our workplaces, in our school systems, and in our institutions of higher learning. For the first time ever, a diary of evidence compounded by the plaintiff (me) will open the door to what really goes on in the workplace behind closed doors. A day-by-day account of harassment and abuse imposed upon a salaried employee of the State of Georgia by his supervisor who turned out to be a living, breathing serial predator. I don’t know if there are any more out their like him. I pray not because, as you will see, he was a piece of work. Evidence will support the fact that harassment and abuse are weapons psychologically used to assault an employee’s character or a student’s.

You will see that this was truly a social assassin, a man who unmercifully attempted to keep an employee from a promotion and succeeding in life. Whatever the predator’s reasoning or motives, this employee viewed all of this drama as an act of war! This gave me the fear of losing my job for nothing! However, I was not going to lose my mind and commit acts of violence, not a chance. Documentation of the daily drama of an employee trying to overcome the obstacle course of negativity in the workplace was my weapon of choice. In many instances in America today, the pressure continues to build like a balloon, until an eruption into violence occurs.

While working on this book, there were several occurrences of violence all over the country. The worker who resorts to violence sees this course of action as a means of self-defense. Emotion becomes uncontrollable, and insanity takes over as the individual now turns to choose the weapon of his or her choice. Colleagues in the workplace never knew or cared to know what was wrong with the employee who turned to violence. They did not know or cared to know what that employee was thinking or feeling. They never knew or cared to know the root cause of the rage. I am a survivor of workplace harassment and abuse. I chose to pick up the pen instead of the sword. I chose to write a diary of evidence—everything that my supervisor did while I was at work. Did I kill him in the end? Am I writing this opening statement from a jail cell? Did I become one of OSHA’s statistics? No, I did not. I wanted to live to tell this story. I wanted to use my experience in overcoming harassment and abuse. I want to help educate corporate America and our educational platform and everyone else caught up in clutches of fear like I experienced. A sincere effort to stop this madness is my plan of action. Stop these villains from their feeding frenzy on helpless subordinate employees who have no recourse but to take the abuse and harassment in the workplace, which in most cases does not end well. This predator’s frolicking behavior disguised as supervision almost always starts with a paper trail to cover their tracks of abuse and harassment. This new type of predator or bully is cunning and ruthless even now; he has chosen his next victim somewhere in America.

Sincerely,

One who is in the trenches of life for Jesus Christ

This Salutation to the Publisher and the Jury (or the Reader) Continues

First, I would like to thank you for selecting this book. The account that will unfold before your eyes is based largely on true events. My story never got to a courtroom because of the cover-up that went all the way to the State of Georgia’s attorney general’s office. You are about to read about all that went on and the complete cover-up story. I was ruled against in a civil court discovery proceedings in 1996. I was forced to either forget the whole idea of suing all parties or go ahead and act as my own attorney in the matter since no attorney that I could find wanted to go up against the State of Georgia. As I tried to handle the case myself with little or no money at the same time,
