From at least between 2009 and 2014 Bobby Paul Edwards physically and emotional abused a man working (as a slave) at his restaurant.
How many paid employees worked there (if any), saw the abuse, and did nothing? Why did his family not intervene?
While Bobby Paul Edwards confessed to the abuse, this is an odd case with many unanswered questions especially about the relationship of the victim and his family.
From CNN:
In an interview last year with CNN affiliate WPDE, Smith said Edwards physically abused him for years and forced him to live in a room behind the restaurant, keeping him away from his relatives. When Smith's family came to the restaurant, the manager would force him to stay in the kitchen, he said. "I wanted to get out of there a long time ago. But I didn't have nobody I could go to," he told the affiliate. " I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't see none of my family."
Smith said he started busing tables and washing dishes at the restaurant when he was 12, but the alleged incidents started when Edwards took over as manager.
In October 2014, a frequent customer noticed the scars on his body when he was putting food down and called authorities, who removed Smith from the restaurant, the affiliate said. The victim is about 40 years now.
Restaurant manager beat black employee for years and forced him to work without pay
Where is BLM when you actually need some vigilante justice?
This man deserves the full super deluxe treatment when he gets to jail and the prisoners find out who he is.
The last paragraph that the guilty man admitted to is HORRIFIC and if it’s all true, 10 years isn’t enough.
But yeah I wonder if the judge said that with a straight face??!!?
If they actually wanted to crack down on human slavery, they’d be arrested quite a number of congressmen and women for contributing to sexual slavery.
I saw the headline, and expected the subject to be either from Asia or from the Middle East. Both groups are known to treat employees like this while living in the United States.
Same with a third group; illegal immigrants from Mexico.
My guess, abuser is not a White guy. . .no mention of race of the criminal forcing a Black guy to work. . .if the bad guy was White it would be earth-shattering news played 24-7 yelling about slavery being supported by Whites and it was Trumps fault, bringing back slavery ya’know, we all know that.
Wow. . .I posted too early, it WAS a White guy. . .amazing that the usual MSM lefty’s haven’t been braying non-stop about the criminals race.
Looks a lot like Danny Bonaduce....
My guess, abuser is not a White guy. .

Don’t want to paint with a ‘broad brush’ BUT
Bobby Paul ain’t exactly many minorities choice of names.
Similar. I guess if he had red hair maybe even more so. 8>)
My guess is you should look at the picture in post 5 :)
Post 8.
Boy as a northern, I would Definitely assume that’s the name of a good old boy :)
Just like the south may think Rocco and Antonio and Aniello are EYEtailan names :)
And you’d be right. Aniello is my middle name
Post 8. . .yup figured that out. . .thanks.
*My first mistake on FR*
There's more going on than is being reported. His family seems to have simply forgotten him (or were they glad he was out of their lives?)
I’m at 4,382 mistakes on FR.
The most recent one is my utter mistrust of Rs in the senate and my thoughts that they could go against Trump if impeachment got through.
That won’t happen.
Don’t know what I was thinking.
I was sure mueller was gonna get him too.
AND I thought Vietnam was a relatively new country.
I could go on but you probably have to go to work some time tomorrow!!
