Speaker 1: I'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They
Speaker 1: should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not
Speaker 1: making these people do these days.
Speaker 2: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
Speaker 2: off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of
Speaker 2: day today?
Speaker 1: Yes, Donkey today for Thursday, December nineteenth goes to a
Speaker 1: man named Justin Ray Donaldson of Anderson County, South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Slew to everyone from my home state of South Carolina,
Speaker 1: drop on a clues box for South Carolina. I'll be
Speaker 1: down there to borrow for the grand opening of a
Speaker 1: Crystalline Orangeburg. Ribbon cutting is at ten forty five am.
Speaker 1: All the festivities will be from ten am to two pm.
Speaker 1: My God, DJ Frost, you will be providing the soundtrack,
Speaker 1: So I'll see you all tomorrow at Crystalline Orangeburg, fourteen
Speaker 1: eighty six Chestnut Street. But right now we're talking about
Speaker 1: Anderson County, and there's some nefarious things that play in
Speaker 1: Anderson County simply because scams coming all shaped, sizes and forms. Okay,
Speaker 1: Scamming has no color, Scamming has no sexuality. Scamming it
Speaker 1: has no religion. A wham Bam. Think you scam can
Speaker 1: happen at any moment, and that's why you always got
Speaker 1: to have your guards up because folks is always trying
Speaker 1: to get over. And that's exactly what happened with Justin
Speaker 1: Ray Donaldson. See he is now in jail with scam
Speaker 1: and senior citizens. The man befriended a seventy three year
Speaker 1: old woman diabolical. This woman probably wanted the friends so
Speaker 1: bad because all her other friends probably dead, so he
Speaker 1: established a relationship. Nothing in freaky, Okay. He wasn't into
Speaker 1: you know, ja rentifolio. I think that's what they call it,
Speaker 1: ja rentifolio. That's an attraction to elderly ass Okay, he
Speaker 1: wasn't into that. His role was similar to that of
Speaker 1: a grandson. And this woman's husband died, so he was
Speaker 1: in a she was in a very vulnerable state, and
Speaker 1: Justin saw the opening and slit in for this camp.
Speaker 1: Let's go to NBC News for the report.
Speaker 3: Police and Anderson County man is under arrest after your
Speaker 3: deputy said he was. He scammed a recent widow into
Speaker 3: believing she had dementia. Deputy say, thirty five year old
Speaker 3: Justin Donaldson established a grandson like relationship with a seventy
Speaker 3: three year old woman at a senior living facility. According
Speaker 3: to deputies, after the woman's husband died, Donaldson convinced her
Speaker 3: to make him her power of attorney. Official say, the
Speaker 3: woman reported fraud this month. Donaldson is char Chards with
Speaker 3: breach of trust.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not sure how dementia works. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how dementia works in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: I have no idea of people with dementia, even though
Speaker 1: they got dementia. So I don't even know how you
Speaker 1: can be convinced that you have dementia. Now, what I
Speaker 1: don't understand is this woman has daughters. According to the
Speaker 1: news report, Okay, who are her power of attorneys? If
Speaker 1: this elderly woman went and told people, hey, I want
Speaker 1: to remove my daughter's power of attorney over her affairs,
Speaker 1: wouldn't somebody call the daughters. Then the daughters can intervene
Speaker 1: and say, who the hell is justin Ray Donaldson? They
Speaker 1: just going to allow this man to come in have
Speaker 1: her remove her daughter's's power of attorney, and he's just
Speaker 1: easily able to secure the woman's trust and access to
Speaker 1: her bank accounts. I don't get it. He instructed her
Speaker 1: to take out a home equity loan for home repairs,
Speaker 1: but instead went out and bought a twenty fifteen Chevy
Speaker 1: tie hole for himself. Now, I know dementia causes a
Speaker 1: decline in someone's mental abilities, but this woman was able
Speaker 1: to understand everything Justin rad Donisan was telling her to do.
Speaker 1: She had enough cognitive abilities to know to take her
Speaker 1: daughters off the power of attorney. She had enough cognitive
Speaker 1: abilities to put everything in this man's name, but she
Speaker 1: didn't understand that she was getting scammed. Once again, I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about dementia. Of course I have had
Speaker 1: people in my family who have had it, but hey,
Speaker 1: do they know they got it? And can somebody just
Speaker 1: diagnose and convince you that you have it? Because that's
Speaker 1: what happened in this case. I guess now that I
Speaker 1: think about it. If someone is telling me I got
Speaker 1: dementia and I can't remember ever having dementia, and maybe
Speaker 1: I did forget that I got dementia, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just know it's a special place reserved in hell
Speaker 1: for someone like Justin Ray Donaldson. I don't know why
Speaker 1: we take advantage of elderly people. That's like taking advantage
Speaker 1: of kids. Okay, we act like we don't have grandparents, Okay,
Speaker 1: great grandparents old to parents. Hell, we act like we
Speaker 1: not gonna be old one day. Respect your eldest. Okay,
Speaker 1: learn from the people who walk the path before you
Speaker 1: respect them, because someday, sooner than you could ever imagine,
Speaker 1: you're going to be an elder. Two, if you're blessed,
Speaker 1: please let me memind give Justin Ray Donaldson big as
Speaker 1: se hall.
Speaker 2: He haw he ha. You stupid mother?
Speaker 1: Are you dumb? How do you convince somebody they got dementia?
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: My grandmother be trying to convince us she ain't got it,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: So she's aware she has it.
Speaker 3: She has to mention some people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, people definitely know what they got. What you mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know about the all timers people, but yeah,
Speaker 2: my grandmother know she got dementia because giz mother didn't
Speaker 2: had times that she got it, but she definitely got it.
Speaker 1: His mother didn't. She didn't know. She had no clue.
Speaker 2: Like she was, everything was regular, So if there was
Speaker 2: a story, she'd tell a.
Speaker 1: Story over and over and over again, and she thought
Speaker 1: she was telling it for the first time. She had
Speaker 1: no clue. Yeah, that's how it goes.
Speaker 2: But like, did y'all ever tell did she tell her
Speaker 2: mother that she has it because.
Speaker 3: She didn't remember she got it.
Speaker 2: She didn't remember, Well, my grandmother is going to get
Speaker 2: to that point. But it's still kind of like early
Speaker 2: for like she knows, she know she got it.
Speaker 1: If your grandmother did anything like you, she probably playing yes, yeah, yeah.
