off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, Donkey today for Thursday, December nineteenth goes to a
man named Justin Ray Donaldson of Anderson County, South Carolina.
Slew to everyone from my home state of South Carolina,
drop on a clues box for South Carolina. I'll be

All the festivities will be from ten am to two pm.
My God, DJ Frost, you will be providing the soundtrack,
(00:34):
So I'll see you all tomorrow at Crystalline Orangeburg, fourteen
eighty six Chestnut Street. But right now we're talking about
Anderson County, and there's some nefarious things that play in
Anderson County simply because scams coming all shaped, sizes and forms. Okay,
Scamming has no color, Scamming has no sexuality. Scamming it
has no religion. A wham Bam. Think you scam can
happen at any moment, and that's why you always got
(00:56):
to have your guards up because folks is always trying
to get over. And that's exactly what happened with Justin
Ray Donaldson. See he is now in jail with scam
and senior citizens. The man befriended a seventy three year
old woman diabolical. This woman probably wanted the friends so
bad because all her other friends probably dead, so he
established a relationship. Nothing in freaky, Okay. He wasn't into
you know, ja rentifolio. I think that's what they call it,
(01:17):
ja rentifolio. That's an attraction to elderly ass Okay, he
wasn't into that. His role was similar to that of
a grandson. And this woman's husband died, so he was
in a she was in a very vulnerable state, and
Justin saw the opening and slit in for this camp.
Let's go to NBC News for the report.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Police and Anderson County man is under arrest after your
deputy said he was. He scammed a recent widow into
believing she had dementia. Deputy say, thirty five year old
Justin Donaldson established a grandson like relationship with a seventy
three year old woman at a senior living facility. According
to deputies, after the woman's husband died, Donaldson convinced her
(01:53):
to make him her power of attorney. Official say, the
woman reported fraud this month. Donaldson is char Chards with
breach of trust.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Now, I'm not sure how dementia works. Okay, I'm not
sure how dementia works in any way, shape or form.
I have no idea of people with dementia, even though
they got dementia. So I don't even know how you
can be convinced that you have dementia. Now, what I
don't understand is this woman has daughters. According to the
news report, Okay, who are her power of attorneys? If
(02:23):
this elderly woman went and told people, hey, I want
to remove my daughter's power of attorney over her affairs,
wouldn't somebody call the daughters. Then the daughters can intervene
and say, who the hell is justin Ray Donaldson? They
just going to allow this man to come in have
her remove her daughter's's power of attorney, and he's just
easily able to secure the woman's trust and access to
(02:43):
her bank accounts. I don't get it. He instructed her
to take out a home equity loan for home repairs,
but instead went out and bought a twenty fifteen Chevy
tie hole for himself. Now, I know dementia causes a
decline in someone's mental abilities, but this woman was able
to understand everything Justin rad Donisan was telling her to do.
She had enough cognitive abilities to know to take her
(03:04):
daughters off the power of attorney. She had enough cognitive
abilities to put everything in this man's name, but she
didn't understand that she was getting scammed. Once again, I
don't know anything about dementia. Of course I have had
people in my family who have had it, but hey,
do they know they got it? And can somebody just
diagnose and convince you that you have it? Because that's
what happened in this case. I guess now that I
(03:24):
think about it. If someone is telling me I got
dementia and I can't remember ever having dementia, and maybe
I did forget that I got dementia, I don't know.
I just know it's a special place reserved in hell
for someone like Justin Ray Donaldson. I don't know why
we take advantage of elderly people. That's like taking advantage
of kids. Okay, we act like we don't have grandparents, Okay,
great grandparents old to parents. Hell, we act like we
(03:46):
not gonna be old one day. Respect your eldest. Okay,
learn from the people who walk the path before you
respect them, because someday, sooner than you could ever imagine,
you're going to be an elder. Two, if you're blessed,
please let me memind give Justin Ray Donaldson big as
se hall.
