I NEED YOU TO KNOW
You hold in your hands the only authorized and true account of what went down before, during, and after the Hillsdale incident. Accept no imitations. Any other purported version is the product of a fast-buck artist’s feeble imagination, cobbled together from rumors, lies, and hogwash. Nobody has told this story or will tell this story the way I tell this story, because this is my story.
Anyhow, I’ve been told to say these pages are unsuitable for readers under eighteen or faint of heart. Explicit language, adult themes, and violence predominate. Bad things happen to bad people and worse things happen to good people. I tell it as I lived it. Reader discretion is advised, which is something else I was told to say. Do not claim at some later date I failed to warn you. I tell you this not as a threat, but out of concern for your safety and well-being. There are individuals currently at large who could react with hostility to complaints or criticism directed my way. Trust me here. Please.
