Then, when I said that I would never subscribe to a company that pays Danny Glover, he absurdly shrieked, "We don't pay him - he pays US!!! We're USING him!!!"
I hung up at that point, I was so disgusted. Now I wish I'd asked to talk to his supervisor - the guy was incoherent and out of control.
They did the same to Hubby's aunt's business phone last year. She cancelled her service too.
The worst part is, the idiots still send junk mail saying 'We want you back!'.
You too, eh? The best thing we can do is cancel our MCI service if we have it, and let the consuming public know just what a SCAM MCI service really is.
There's even more reason to despise Danny Glover. Along with all of the above, he has been a very big activist trying to get murdering thugs new trials, or released from prison.
One of the most high-profile examples was his work to try to free Gary Graham. This was despite the fact that there were five eyewitnesses to the murder Graham committed which earned him the death penalty:
"If the police had placed 100 photographs of people matching the description which I gave of the killer and among those 100 photographs there was 1 photograph of Gary Graham, I, absolutely, would have selected his picture. Graham killed Bobby Lambert and I saw him do it."Graham was no innocent man unjustly accused:
(witness Bernadine Skillern.)
Graham had been previously arrested on May 20th for a crime spree that included at least 22 criminal episodes, which involved 20 armed robberies, 3 kidnappings, 1 rape, and 3 attempted murders; a crime spree which was later found to include the murder of Mr. Lambert. There are 28 known victims of this crime spree, resulting in 19 eyewitnesses who have positively identified Graham.During Glover's last big push to free Graham, local Houston talk radio interviewed many of Graham's victims, who graphically described what Graham (who they positively identified) had done to them.
"When I knew he was going to rape me I told him I was 60 years old. He then hit me in the face and said 'don't lie.' He said 'I'm going to f*** you in the ears and the eyes and every place else.' He raped me until I couldn't stand it any longer and I screamed and he stopped. He then attempted anal sex. I was screaming and crying and shaking very, very hard... I was in great pain at that moment, great pain."Another victim described how, after being kidnapped and driven around by Graham for a while, he had been shot and left for dead. Needless to say, he had no difficulty positively identifying Graham. Graham had told him:
"After I kill you, I am going back [to the victim's broken down car] to kill your fiancée and her parents so they can go with you to 'honky hell'. Before I kill your fiancée, I'm going to rape her."As the above website summarizes:
In all, nineteen (19) victims/eyewitnesses have identified Gary Graham as the car thief, kidnapper, robber, rapist, attempted murderer or murderer in twenty-two (22) separate criminal incidents involving a total of twenty-eight (28) victims. Graham has pled guilty to ten (10) aggravated robberies. Eleven (11) additional cases were cleared wherein eyewitnesses have made positive identification of Graham or where physical evidence or overwhelming circumstantial evidence tied Graham to the case.This was the "innocent man" that Danny Glover spent so much effort trying to free.
