DA Poo #9 – Dr. Sociopath
“This is a montage of threats Dr. Martin Young emailed me over a few days at the end of March 2016. The DA made him their Councillor five months later. That was one month after I had a meeting with Premier Helen Zille, gave her the threats and then sent her detailed information. I believe the DA was rewarding him for his campaign to discredit me. The DA were playing dirty.
‘Attention Hampton…
You seem not to realize that you are in no position to negotiate. I’m surprised you even tried. We hold all the cards, and have all the power to make your life really and truly miserable…
