Also, I can't believe reporters especially as bad arss as Jeff German are not always strapped up and hyper aware Especially leaving Your Home . I am always head on a swivel and especially leaving the Home & that's just from watching this type of stuff on the psychos of this crazy world let alone if I were in a position of reporting on it . Stay Strapped . Stay Strapped . The more legal , righteous firearm owners the safer a society We will be . As scary as it may be to some people it is just facts that when the criminals are out numbered and by intelligent people with the proper skills & training then the safer law abiding citizens are . Criminals are far less likely to take that chance if they are most likely going to meet someone ready for their BS . Much Love 🙏
My best friend was Chauncey Bailey He was the Editor of the Oakland Post and he was murdered over a story. The story that he was murdered over eventually did take down a very powerful organization in Oakland. It is truly heartbreaking. I would love to see 48 Hours do a story about Chauncey he was truly a remarkable individual.
A successful and respected journalist, Bailey was about to expose a corrupt business that held itself out as a pillar of the Oakland black community. In reality, it was run by a bunch of rapists, fraudsters and thugs. True to their nature, they killed Bailey as he was working with an insider to expose the business' current financial treachery. Bailey, who was also black, cared far more about the truth than the fallout of exposing the "man behind the curtain" in his community.

I had a bully boss exactly like that at Business Insider. He came in after I'd been there three years, isolated me from my colleagues, told me I wasn't allowed to talk to them directly anymore, and started bullying me constantly. His behavior was exactly the way abusive men treat their wives or girlfriends. He even took credit for my work, admonishing me and my co-editor to be careful not to allow unfounded allegations to go to print when it was him who did that and me who fixed it. Ultimately, his treatment caused me to have an emotional breakdown and cost me that job. I wish him nothing but a life of hell.
@@PianoGesang This happens on both sides of the aisle. Hell, I saw a list of 50+ convicted Republican PDF files. This had nothing to do with his political affiliation.
He is a psychopath and believes he is smarter than everyone else. Additionally, observe his eyes; they are dark, evil, and empty. He should never be released from prison. His wife dodged a bullet, and I hope she is okay after being married to him.
Telles wasn't as bright as he thought. DNA, sunhat, car...A nasty, narcissistic bully who got called out, lost his job and couldn't accept it. RIP Jeff.
We don't have enough honest reporters left. This is a loss in so many ways. Good reporting is essential to a working democracy. This is a true tragedy.
Anyone who questions the importance of preserving independent investigative news media should view this episode. A sidebar comment: as part of the judgment around his domestic battery charge, German's alleged killer was ordered to attend a "corrective thinking class." I cringe whenever I hear about this (commonly referred to as "anger management") in a court order. It has no value --zero-- if the person a) doesn't accept that he has a problem and b) isn't committed to changing his behavior. That's true in almost all cases (where mandated by a court order) and clearly was true here.
@@americatruecrime if I were a judge in these cases, I would order psychological testing and get the results before determining a sentence. This guy is way beyond “alternative thinking” classes. He likely has some serious psychological issues.
They are not seeking the death penalty on him…which I, shocked!!!! I live here…Telles ambushed German….we need to stop using the death penalty and a means you can sit on death row for 20 years plus.
Breathtaking Episode. Our hearts go out to Jeff German's loved ones, frieds, coleagues, family. I trust justice will be served and Jeffrey will be honored and will rest in peace.
can always trust 48 hours to deliver the best quality/directed true crime docs, finally one honouring jeff and starting from his POV, I’ve watched a couple of others that focus on the murderer
Yep, the murderer is preposterous so the focus was on him. It’s so nice to see Jeff’s friends and family speak of him, I have a real sense of who this man was. He didn’t deserve to be murdered. Poor guy
Roberta Reid, a frightened, reluctant, fired by Telles, told her that he committed this heinous and when found out, threatened her. She was found and she shared this information and the truth about what Telles told her and the threat on her life is she told anyone.
You know- if ever I worked at a job where I felt unsafe and thought to myself that killing myself was a better option… I think I would quit. Not saying what these ladies went through wasn’t horrific but no job is worth that.
@@deborahwilliamson5655I don’t think it was that serious at all.

I’ve actually worked in the past for ppl similar to Telles. They make ur life a living hell . I would physically get ill from the stress of working for ppl like him. I took an early retirement bc of this kind of treatment.
@@concettaworkman5895 haha dude is so much of a narcissist that he thinks everyone will believe this isn't him. Can't wait for the trial to see what defense he is going to use
As a single dad for two teenage girls, I realize every day that there are millions of Rob Telles's out there who don't care who they harm to maintain their fragile egos. These creeps are everywhere.
There's nothing you can do. Hopefully your daughters will be mindful of their partners. My father is a retired Sheriff's Sgt and every guy was scared of him but they didn't stop. I dated every bad boy/criminal element around. Married one even. Finally thought I had a good guy (high school principal) and HE turned out to be the very worst of them all! I gave up.
3:07 this is how y'all set up an episode! Absolutely fantastic! So much suspense, the victim was a hero writer and has a world of e enemies, with the best Peter Van Sant!
I couldn’t help but notice Telles’ change in facial expression and demeanor after he was confronted repeatedly about the fingernail DNA. A true Jekyll and Hyde that gives me chills.. how those women continued to work anywhere near him reveals their bravery because I believe, even if the story had not broken, one of them would have eventually become his victim.
IMO, this could have been prevented had the first official these women reached out to taken action. Elected officials are not immune to the consequences of their actions.
Exactly! According to that person, if you’re an elected official you can bully, harass, threaten, sleep with staff, etc and nobody can do anything about it??!! What a load of BS!!
Robert Telles is currently representing himself, acting like a 5 year old, tried to have a judge removed and moaned about the jailhouse conditions amongst other things, a complete narcissist. His rambling court appearance videos are laughable and his trial might have Darrell Brookes 2.0 potential.
This is the BEST 48 Hours reporting I've ever seen! Finally a worthy story of a man of integrity in a world of A) corrupt reporters and B) buried incidents of principles that used to be the strong thread in humans now going dormant - honor. I applaud this news paper and the workers there. I pray they will continue Jeff's character traits into the future no matter the cost. Maybe... maybe there are still a few good reporters left and it will matter to important people that can go public and fight the tide of the worst kind of humanity we are capable of. Maybe...
We all have a voice and should be heard! Jeff had a huge voice and used it to protect others! R..l.P. Jeff, thank you for stepping up and being heard! March 18, 2024 will be a day where the monster that killed you will come to ⚖️. Thanks to 48 hours, the investigators, the four women, the forensics team and especially the neighbor with the video!
What a horrible work environment to endure. That can cause so much mental and physiological damage to a person. Glad they banded together to protect themselves and their livelihood while fighting for justice
@martharunstheworld A civil suit is for damages aka money. It does not remove someone from office or get criminal charges. They did exactly the right thing, reporting his behavior through official forms and records to the county. The country's terrible response is on them
@SidewaysInTraffic "But do these women not have husbands, sons, or brothers?" uh... what? What does that have to do with anything? Anyone who is just a normal person reading these comments, please just take a second to note how far people will go to victim blame, to the point they are completely nonsensical. Literally thinking "bUt sHe HaD a bRoThEr" is a defence of abuse in the workplace. Everybody has family members lmao
When you're in denial about the validity of multiple unrelated stories about you (e.g., "nothing about me is ever true... despite video evidence to the contrary.")... you are making yourself seem guilty af!
Is literally impossible to plant DNA under someone's fingernails. Obviously Jeff was able to claw at his assailant and get that person's DNA embedded in his fingers. There is no way Robert Telles can deny this fact 😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Roberta Reid, a frightened, reluctant, fired by Telles, told her that he committed this heinous and when found out, threatened her. She was found and she shared this information and the truth about what Telles told her and the threat on her life is she told anyone.
I've been watching so much from different outlets on this exact case and then this pops up! Best one yet....such a sad case of someone's ego and corruption that destroyed countless lives.
If you didn't make that call, it's quite possible one of YOU would have died. That's exactly what he would've responded with. Credit to Mr. German. Makes me wish I continued pursuing journalism. Remarkable person!
How did a punk like Telles get a public official title in the first place?! I admire the 4 women who exposed the tyrant Telles. The Mayor's office and City's Management office which oversees the smaller public offices have a lot of explaining to do. They also should be brought up on charges of dereliction of duty, incompetence and aiding and abetting a monster.
Um... Biden? I can't believe he is president! A man with a disgusting past at all turns and yet record numbers voted him in?!? This Telles guy is a small fish nugget in the big ocean of corruption.
34:25 when someone says NO, but their head shakes up and down.... That's them subconsciously telling you the truth while they're lying through their teeth.
Rest in peace sir and thank you for your service to the people and your community. Now your murderer will spend the rest of his life in prison hopefully 🙏 I hope the victims of this murderer will forgive themselves for what happened to their favorite reporter.
Holy crap. When Van Sant called this an overwhelming case, that was a bit of an understatement. In all my years of watching this show, and others like I have seen many cases this clear cut. Telles might as well have done it on camera and sent to to the police.
This is what journalism looks like and cheers to the brave men and women who stand up for the truth. Please stand up and support freedom of press and support Julian Assange now before they destroy our right to know
Saddest thing to me is that Jeff had been such a giant to our Vegas community, taking down even the Chicago mobster, and he was murdered by such a little pest of a human being, a ne'r-do-well who seemingly never had done anything substantial in his life.
Mr German lead a life well spent ... his story and the way he did his job reminds me of the saying, 'the hardest person to defeat is one who wont giveup'
I sometimes ponder what legacy I will leave after my death. Will people remember the little that I tried to do to help improve society. & individuals. I think it good that unsung heroes like Jeff can be memorialized (regrettably like this). God bless the family & friends he left behind🙏🏽
It's interesting that you mention this. I remember going to a funeral when I was very young, and the woman who died was memorialized as someone who " played cards" and " always had a good time" Even as a kid I knew that something was missing. To have your whole life summoned up into, seemingly not much was so sad to me.
I worked once with someone like that. He even looks a bit like him. Luckily, I was his boss and I ended up getting rid of him. This book is worth reading "Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work".
Did u know him well? Any "warning signs?" I once met a man at the beach and spent a long time talking to him, playing guitar together, we went and had pizza. A few days later, I found out he killed someone for money & their car. You can't always tell. Something did tell me not to take this guy anywhere or give him any $, and I could tell he was lying about certain aspects of his past or exaggerating, but I never would've expected THAT.

My best friend was Chauncey Bailey He was the Editor of the Oakland Post and he was murdered over a story.

I would love to see 48 Hours do a story about Chauncey he was truly a remarkable individual.
You didn’t know ole’ Chauncey

A successful and respected journalist, Bailey was about to expose a corrupt business that held itself out as a pillar of the Oakland black community. In reality, it was run by a bunch of rapists, fraudsters and thugs. True to their nature, they killed Bailey as he was working with an insider to expose the business' current financial treachery.

He is a psychopath and believes he is smarter than everyone else. Additionally, observe his eyes; they are dark, evil, and empty. He should never be released from prison. His wife dodged a bullet, and I hope she is okay after being married to him.
Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on
Jeff German was a true journalist. Thank y’all for presenting his story. 🦫
Neva heard o him
@@annechris2677your problem not anyone else’s. He was an Award winning journalist. You should research him. You’d be amazed at his accomplishments!
@@annechris2677and you don’t have to know Jeff German for him to still be a true journalist
His behavior once elected speaks volumes. Reminder that psychopaths often are in suits. People keep forgetting that.
Mostly in suits!
Mr. Peter Van Sant is my favorite 48 hours correspondent 😊
48 hrs never disappoints! Great episode 👍
Its a good day when 48 hours uploads a new show..thanks
Telles wasn't as bright as he thought. DNA, sunhat, car...A nasty, narcissistic bully who got called out, lost his job and couldn't accept it. RIP Jeff.
If my wife’s boss was treating her like that I would be going to jail and he’d be going to the hospital. How did no one ever confront him?
Well said sir, I wondered the same. I'd come visit you from Kenya.
Exactly
The fear he put in their hearts- they might not have told anyone else
You’re assuming they were all married unless the video said so and I missed it
Slima
Tellas suffered from little man energy that his fragile ego couldn't handle anymore.
And bold
@@escapeearth2327 bald
In his criminal trial, Telles says he is 6'5. Perjuy!😊
RIP Jeff Michael German! Thank You 🙏 For All Your Service To The Community! Let Your Memories Be Remember Forever!
They were not allowed to speak, only him! What a dangerous man.
Holy crap, they should have recorded him surreptitiously in the office.
Napoleon complex, truly pathetic
even the person who didn't speak was called out by him for giving that order. such a hypocrite
@@normanli7085 You what they about control & abuse. What is the ultimate control.
I wonder why they didn't quit.
We don't have enough honest reporters left. This is a loss in so many ways. Good reporting is essential to a working democracy. This is a true tragedy.
Journalism itself is a dying profession. Investigative Journalism has largely disappeared years ago.
@@zakariafarah1101Indeed. The Covid years showed us journalism is dead.
You got that damn right. It’s all political propaganda now. You can get much better, more unbiased information from independent sources online now.
All we have left are people paid to present their side of propaganda
Democracy is like the Easter Bunny, something the leaders feed the masses to keep them distracted. There is no democracy.
Anyone who questions the importance of preserving independent investigative news media should view this episode. A sidebar comment: as part of the judgment around his domestic battery charge, German's alleged killer was ordered to attend a "corrective thinking class." I cringe whenever I hear about this (commonly referred to as "anger management") in a court order. It has no value --zero-- if the person a) doesn't accept that he has a problem and b) isn't committed to changing his behavior. That's true in almost all cases (where mandated by a court order) and clearly was true here.
What rehabilitation would you have ordered if you were the judge? Thank you for your interesting comment.
@@americatruecrime if I were a judge in these cases, I would order psychological testing and get the results before determining a sentence. This guy is way beyond “alternative thinking” classes. He likely has some serious psychological issues.
@@bigtallgrl he definitely was way past an anger management class. Would he have been made to pay for the evaluation?
Local news 🗞️ is critically important.
@@CrazyMaryJo definitely. Hyperlocal is what some neighborhood news and blogs or vlogs could be considered. Social media is included.
Telles should get life sentence
Hes a cold blooded murderer..
Yep, premeditated.
They are not seeking the death penalty on him…which I, shocked!!!! I live here…Telles ambushed German….we need to stop using the death penalty and a means you can sit on death row for 20 years plus.
Breathtaking Episode. Our hearts go out to Jeff German's loved ones, frieds, coleagues, family. I trust justice will be served and Jeffrey will be honored and will rest in peace.
can always trust 48 hours to deliver the best quality/directed true crime docs, finally one honouring jeff and starting from his POV, I’ve watched a couple of others that focus on the murderer
💯👏
Yep, the murderer is preposterous so the focus was on him. It’s so nice to see Jeff’s friends and family speak of him, I have a real sense of who this man was. He didn’t deserve to be murdered. Poor guy
I hope he(Telles) rot in jail for what he did. May Jeff's soul rest in peace for all eternity.
I’d actually forgotten about this story. This is the first time I’ve heard about the victim rather than the criminal. Thank you.
What a coward.. always harassing woman and when he had the chance to talk to a man who was only exposing the truth, he could handle it. RIP JEFF
That's a special kind of arrogance not to cover his tracks after doing a hit like that!
He probably would have got away if he didn't double back with his wife's SUV.
Roberta Reid, a frightened, reluctant, fired by Telles, told her that he committed this heinous and when found out, threatened her. She was found and she shared this information and the truth about what Telles told her and the threat on her life is she told anyone.
@@SidewaysInTrafficsuch a narcissist.
You know- if ever I worked at a job where I felt unsafe and thought to myself that killing myself was a better option… I think I would quit.
Not saying what these ladies went through wasn’t horrific but no job is worth that.
I think the women felt that quitting would put their lives in danger. He was treating them like hostages rather than employees.
@@deborahwilliamson5655I don’t think it was that serious at all. I think the women had likely spent many years in local government and did not want to have to start all over again (can’t say I blame them).
State pension is great. The health benefits are superior to MOST private insurers by leaps and bounds. You can retire at the state level after only 20 years in MANY states when there are people working clear into their 70-80’s in order to “finally” retire
That little pip squeak of a man was not holding a whole town hostage. Have you seen his DUI arrest footage?
@@AlaFrigginBama I NEVER said anything about him holding a whole town hostage. I made it very clear to whom I was referring. Nonetheless, both your comment and mine are simply our opinions. Neither of us will ever know for sure. We might both be completely wrong. However, together we might have come to the right conclusion(s). Again, who knows?
@@deborahwilliamson5655 uhhh…no one yelled at you, ma’am…so…..?? your outburst is an interesting choice but may I offer some advice 10/10 recommended by the entire American Medical Association????
Go take your overdue antidepressant or antipsychotic medication and when you do, please remember to not mix it with ETOH (that would be alcohol, ma’am). 🙄🤷🏻♀️😘
@@AlaFrigginBama What are you talking about? I never said that you yelled at me. How can one discern a yell by typing? You keep adding to my very clear statements. You are making more of what I said each time. Perhaps you should consider an evaluation, or just a vocabulary review of the English language. You're obviously having trouble with what simple words mean. Anyway, I wasn't looking for a silly cyber-fight. I thought we might have an intelligent conversation. I'm done. I hope you have a great day!!! I certainly will.
I’ve actually worked in the past for ppl similar to Telles. They make ur life a living hell . I would physically get ill from the stress of working for ppl like him. I took an early retirement bc of this kind of treatment.
Dumba$$ literally had all evidence just laying in his house. That straw hat gets me 😂😂
And he used his own car. lol
@@concettaworkman5895 haha dude is so much of a narcissist that he thinks everyone will believe this isn't him. Can't wait for the trial to see what defense he is going to use
Oh, but didn’t you know that was planted too!😂
I think its planned
@@annechris2677 yes. All planned. By HIM. 😂
As a single dad for two teenage girls, I realize every day that there are millions of Rob Telles's out there who don't care who they harm to maintain their fragile egos. These creeps are everywhere.
And the ones like Jeff are few and far between. Such a loss. May he Rest In Peace ❤
and they ARE creeps.
There's nothing you can do. Hopefully your daughters will be mindful of their partners. My father is a retired Sheriff's Sgt and every guy was scared of him but they didn't stop. I dated every bad boy/criminal element around. Married one even. Finally thought I had a good guy (high school principal) and HE turned out to be the very worst of them all! I gave up.
One was even in the white house from 2016 to 2020.
There are millions of people like this out there, and they all love each other for their criminal minds. That's why they vote for Trump
3:07 this is how y'all set up an episode! Absolutely fantastic! So much suspense, the victim was a hero writer and has a world of e enemies, with the best Peter Van Sant!
I couldn’t help but notice Telles’ change in facial expression and demeanor after he was confronted repeatedly about the fingernail DNA. A true Jekyll and Hyde that gives me chills.. how those women continued to work anywhere near him reveals their bravery because I believe, even if the story had not broken, one of them would have eventually become his victim.
IMO, this could have been prevented had the first official these women reached out to taken action. Elected officials are not immune to the consequences of their actions.
Agree
Yes exactly!
Exactly! According to that person, if you’re an elected official you can
bully, harass, threaten, sleep with staff, etc and nobody can do anything about it??!!
What a load of BS!!
THIS is a reporter! Protecting sources...good call!
Robert Telles is currently representing himself, acting like a 5 year old, tried to have a judge removed and moaned about the jailhouse conditions amongst other things, a complete narcissist. His rambling court appearance videos are laughable and his trial might have Darrell Brookes 2.0 potential.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
And I think he's telling everyone that he's 6'3
This is the BEST 48 Hours reporting I've ever seen! Finally a worthy story of a man of integrity in a world of A) corrupt reporters and B) buried incidents of principles that used to be the strong thread in humans now going dormant - honor. I applaud this news paper and the workers there. I pray they will continue Jeff's character traits into the future no matter the cost. Maybe... maybe there are still a few good reporters left and it will matter to important people that can go public and fight the tide of the worst kind of humanity we are capable of. Maybe...
Interesting that it wasnt the mob that took him down, but a cheating wigglin worm. The lesson is to not underestimate sneaky people.
We all have a voice and should be heard! Jeff had a huge voice and used it to protect others! R..l.P. Jeff, thank you for stepping up and being heard!
March 18, 2024 will be a day where the monster that killed you will come to ⚖️.
Thanks to 48 hours, the investigators, the four women, the forensics team and especially the neighbor with the video!
I hope they do a follow up story after the trial
The hearing has been postponed to August.
48hours always delivers. Much appreciation from Ghana 🇬🇭
“Ordered to attend a CORRECTIVE THINKING CLASS?
This comment was completely overlooked but I found it was the most disturbing element of this story.
Same here. "Corrective Thinking"??? WTH.....
AGREED
Aka an anger management class, court ordered.
@@Verawnique the luxuries of being rich, white and powerful.....
That's what sent me over the edge. That judge had a opportunity to stop this guy's domestic violence and he ignored it
What a horrible work environment to endure. That can cause so much mental and physiological damage to a person. Glad they banded together to protect themselves and their livelihood while fighting for justice
You can literally see the evil in his eyes. This is a unemphatic psych that doesn’t deserve to say daylight ever again
He looks like that guy in Salem's Lot
Wow that Telles guy is a maniac!! What a monster. And he was a person in a responsible position of authority. Unbelievable
Unfortunately it's not uncommon for narcissists to be in a position of power.
Found guilty today
"Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose" ~ George Orwell
Predators walk among us! So many people were in fear of this creep, why was allowed to terrorize, over & over!? Those poor women 😢
Right. But do these women not have husbands, sons, or brothers?
Poor women? They could have sued much earlier. Women are not helpless, we're not living in the 1950s.
True, maybe one of them, or one of their sisters or daughters is an attorney and they could have sued the county for them.
@martharunstheworld A civil suit is for damages aka money. It does not remove someone from office or get criminal charges. They did exactly the right thing, reporting his behavior through official forms and records to the county.
The country's terrible response is on them
@SidewaysInTraffic "But do these women not have husbands, sons, or brothers?" uh... what? What does that have to do with anything?
Anyone who is just a normal person reading these comments, please just take a second to note how far people will go to victim blame, to the point they are completely nonsensical. Literally thinking "bUt sHe HaD a bRoThEr" is a defence of abuse in the workplace. Everybody has family members lmao
When you're in denial about the validity of multiple unrelated stories about you (e.g., "nothing about me is ever true... despite video evidence to the contrary.")... you are making yourself seem guilty af!
Is literally impossible to plant DNA under someone's fingernails. Obviously Jeff was able to claw at his assailant and get that person's DNA embedded in his fingers. There is no way Robert Telles can deny this fact 😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Roberta Reid, a frightened, reluctant, fired by Telles, told her that he committed this heinous and when found out, threatened her. She was found and she shared this information and the truth about what Telles told her and the threat on her life is she told anyone.
And you qualify for president of the United States
"Come on, man..." You gotta love Mr Van Sant !!! 😂
Telles was obviously a bully and a monster
Hi from Iran . Best crime show .keep this up guys .thank you
From Iran! I hope and pray you are safe and happy!
I've been watching so much from different outlets on this exact case and then this pops up! Best one yet....such a sad case of someone's ego and corruption that destroyed countless lives.
If you didn't make that call, it's quite possible one of YOU would have died. That's exactly what he would've responded with. Credit to Mr. German. Makes me wish I continued pursuing journalism. Remarkable person!
Yeah, full episodes!
How did a punk like Telles get a public official title in the first place?!
I admire the 4 women who exposed the tyrant Telles.
The Mayor's office and City's Management office which oversees the smaller public offices have a lot of explaining to do.
They also should be brought up on charges of dereliction of duty, incompetence and aiding and abetting a monster.
Um... Biden? I can't believe he is president! A man with a disgusting past at all turns and yet record numbers voted him in?!? This Telles guy is a small fish nugget in the big ocean of corruption.
Telles doesn't look like a happy person.

He's deff washing someone Sox an draws lol
Hahaaaa 😂 i was down u got me up laughin
34:25 when someone says NO, but their head shakes up and down.... That's them subconsciously telling you the truth while they're lying through their teeth.
Rest in peace sir and thank you for your service to the people and your community. Now your murderer will spend the rest of his life in prison hopefully 🙏 I hope the victims of this murderer will forgive themselves for what happened to their favorite reporter.
Holy crap. When Van Sant called this an overwhelming case, that was a bit of an understatement.
In all my years of watching this show, and others like I have seen many cases this clear cut. Telles might as well have done it on camera and sent to to the police.
Just imagine what all other officials/politicians are hidingm
Oh this nothing compared to the big psychopaths we elect.
I dare any boss to treat me or anyone I work with that way.
You cannot suppress the truth by calling it “fake news”. Support a strong and free press.
This is what journalism looks like and cheers to the brave men and women who stand up for the truth. Please stand up and support freedom of press and support Julian Assange now before they destroy our right to know
Office and work romance between a boss and a junior almost always leads to the junior thinking that the situation makes them boss level.

Hello
Saddest thing to me is that Jeff had been such a giant to our Vegas community, taking down even the Chicago mobster, and he was murdered by such a little pest of a human being, a ne'r-do-well who seemingly never had done anything substantial in his life.
It is hard, and even dangerous, to be a good journalist! RIP, Jeff!
This guy is an insult to everyone’s intelligence. Seriously, the evidence is overwhelming!
To think he has to be reminded of this fact several times!🙄
Why would they go to a parking lot to have relations? Were they both married to other people? How juvenile.
Mr German lead a life well spent ... his story and the way he did his job reminds me of the saying, 'the hardest person to defeat is one who wont giveup'
❤
I sometimes ponder what legacy I will leave after my death. Will people remember the little that I tried to do to help improve society. & individuals. I think it good that unsung heroes like Jeff can be memorialized (regrettably like this). God bless the family & friends he left behind🙏🏽
It's interesting that you mention this. I remember going to a funeral when I was very young, and the woman who died was memorialized as someone who " played cards" and " always had a good time" Even as a kid I knew that something was missing. To have your whole life summoned up into, seemingly not much was so sad to me.
Excellent posts, Jeff and Nisha! Worthy of our consideration always!
@jeffjones9689 What a wonderful comment. You are obviously someone who is introspective and has self-awareness. The world needs more people like you.
I worked once with someone like that. He even looks a bit like him. Luckily, I was his boss and I ended up getting rid of him. This book is worth reading "Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work".
He even had the same walk with the white jumpsuit on.
"No sir I did not" he says while nodding his head... Yeah, you don't believe yourself either.
Edit: grammar
*his
@@stfuplsok thank you. I've rectified my error. Your promptness has been a godsend.
Possible that Telles hates women, given how he treated the female office employees.

Cannot believe his Not Guilty plea, looking forward to the trial next month.
I went to college with Rob.... This was so shocking to see how much he had spiraled into madness.....
Did u know him well? Any "warning signs?"
I once met a man at the beach and spent a long time talking to him, playing guitar together, we went and had pizza. A few days later, I found out he killed someone for money & their car. You can't always tell. Something did tell me not to take this guy anywhere or give him any $, and I could tell he was lying about certain aspects of his past or exaggerating, but I never would've expected THAT.
