On May 29th, I wrote in praise of Mr. Laurence Heffes' apparently brave stand against extortionists. Unfortunately, what seemed to be a case of one man facing down extortionists with only his courage and unflinching stand as weapons seems to have dissolved into something far different. Apparently, Mr. Heffes has known Donald 'Zeeks' Phipps and his family since the early 1970's, and is the godfather of one of Zeek's daughters. For those of you who don't know, Zeeks is the "reputed" don of Matthews Lane, a PNP enclave in the middle of a JLP garrison. It has also come to light that Mr. Heffes' wife posted bail for Zeeks last year, claiming, quite rightly, that the posting of bail makes no presumption of guilt or innocence.
And now he's changing his fucking tune! If bailing Zeeks last year implied no presumption of innocence or guilt, Mr. Heffes, why wouldn't you bail him now, if asked? How is it a different ball game now? Perhaps you know something the rest of us don't about the "alleged activities"?
Didn't it ever occur to you that you could "run way" extortionists and help other businessmen deal with their problems because the extortionists knew of your close association with Zeeks, or were subsequently made aware of it???? I mean, come on dude! We were all under the impression that you made the stand with no "backative" other than your moral convictions. Having a don on your side kinda changes the fucking playing field, don't you think?
One man's fight.......yeah, right.
