| “ | I got something I want to say: my cousin Anthony went into business for himself. We all know this. In a way which there is no excuse. He's got a problem with rage. He disappointed me, Anthony, in ways I can't even begin to tell you and he put all of us at risk. Regardless, it's been made clear to me, that if they put his hands on him, he will not be dealt with quick. I'm talking torture. For that reason even if I knew where my cousin is and I do not. I would not deliver him up to them. I am offering him the same protection that I would offer any of you in similar circumstances. Now I know what you're going to say, you're going to say "hey Tone, I would never do what he did." God bless I hope not. But we are a family and even in this fucked up day in age that means something. So we're going to deal with this as a family, together no matter how it affects anybody, personal safety-wise, financially-wise, whatever. I see that my nephew isn't here, it's important he lamb it now and it's my desire to "circle the wagon" to support him. | „ |
