Right behind you so ... BOO!

non-theist, anarcho-socialist
The suit lists 14 counts against J&J owner Ernest J. Edwards and manager Bobby Paul Edwards, including false imprisonment, discrimination and exploitive labor practices. Bobby Edwards, 50, was arrested a year ago in connection with the case. Those charges are still pending.

Last October, Smith was rescued when social workers received a tip from an anonymous source who expressed concern for the man’s safety. Attorneys Mullins McLeod and David Aylor said that while the civil suit cannot change the past or rectify the harm done to Smith, hopefully it will “bring about positive change in the future.”

The Post and Courier explained that Smith worked at the Edwards brothers’ business for more than two decades, but it was when Bobby took over as manager in 2010 that Smith’s situation turned ugly.

Smith was routinely called the N-word, according to the suit. He was savagely beaten with a frying pan, hot tongs, butcher knives, belt buckles and fists. He worked 18-hour shifts Monday through Saturday and 11-hour shifts on Sundays with no breaks, receiving little pay. His total wages for each year added up to less than $3,000.

The complaint against the Edwards said that Smith was often abused on the job, dragged into the walk-in freezer where he could be heard screaming in terror and pain by other employees and begging his abusers not to kill him.

Smith told social services workers that he was too afraid to run away or leave his job at the J&J Cafeteria because he believed the Edwards brothers would hurt him even worse or murder him.

Not the N-word!?! Seems kind of quaint compared to the savage beatings. Though, how do you get "beaten" with butcher knives. Aren't you typically murdered by butcher knives?

And while the perpetrators are to blame the most, did most of this occur while the other co-workers were never near by? And how did these two guys ever get their mits on him in the first place? Owned his apartment and were his employers.

And these guys are facing criminal charges right? That is a vague point in this article.
 
Whatever those guys get for punishment, you know it won't be enough.

Yeah, sounds like a case of Arson, Murder, Jaywalking.

You can be, with the blunt edge.

But obviously, following the logic of those who want to keep sex work illegal, now that we have a case of involuntary servitude in the restaurant industry we must outlaw buying and selling food for money (or under the Swedish model, only buying of food for money).

The masochist says stop taxing me and giving me nothing but warfare and lower opportunity and worsening infrastructure for my money.
