From the stripper to the pizza driver, the personality of the suspect of a mail to the bomb has changed dramatically

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Thirteen years ago, Cesar Sayoc, a post-mail suspect, traveled the country at the head of a troupe of exotic dancers – he used scams and set himself up angry, but another African-American dancer has never expressed racism or homophobia.

Years later, Sayoc often expressed his hatred for minorities, Jews and gays, said his official. He drove a van covered with stickers supporting US President Donald Trump, criticizing the media and showing the line of sight of his guns at liberals like Hillary Clinton and director Michael Moore. But she kept him, even if she is a bad, because he was honest, reliable and that he never fought.

Why Sayoc changed so radically over the years remains a mystery, but for those who know him, there seems to be little question that he has done.

"We were friends, we were boys, we traveled in the same van and slept in the same room," said former dancer David Crosby, a black race. "When I think about the guy I knew and the guy I see now on MSNBC, CNN and Trump rallies, I think," Did he really slip? "

"It was not really a bad guy," Crosby said puzzled.

But former pizza manager Debra Gureghian said that if Sayoc had initially been respectful, articulate and polite, a few days later, a dark side showed up and he told her he was disgusted with his baduality.

"I was an abomination, I was unsuited to God … I was a mistake," said Gureghian about his former employee, who left his post earlier this year. Sayoc thought she "should burn in hell with Ellen DeGeneres and Rachel Maddow … as well as President Obama and Hillary Clinton."

Sayoc, 56, was arrested on Friday near Fort Lauderdale and is accused of sending at least 13 mail bombs to Democratic personalities and other frequent targets of conservative anger, including the following. former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Cable. CNN network. He is scheduled to appear for the first time in court on Monday.

This radicalism contrasts with the mid-2000s, when Sayoc directed and played with two men's dance magazines: "Men of Steel" and "American Hunks". He never expressed a political opinion at the time, said Crosby.

"I do not know if he was a Democrat or a Republican," said Crosby, who now runs a gym and is an actor near Minneapolis.

With three or four other chiseled men, Crosby and Sayoc traveled the country aboard a pickup truck, undressing on ropes for screaming women in honkytonks and night clubs. They would go to a motel, perform, bring the women to the party, sleep a few hours and get up early the next morning to drive several hours before the next concert.

"It's a tough life," said Crosby, very seriously. The party, the bad food and the lack of exercise have a negative impact, he said.

Sayoc welcomed, then danced last. Crosby said that he and the other almost naked dancers would bring women on stage, make them laugh with their friends and make some badual innuendos – with the exception of Sayoc, who was not a good performer.

He added that Sayoc would ask the women to sit on a chair, get their legs stuck and push his pelvis into his – "bang, bang".

"The chair bounces against the wall, their head bounces off the wall," said Crosby. Sometimes he bit the exposed skin of women enough to leave teeth marks. Crosby said the women would complain to other dancers that Sayoc was too brutal but that no one ever called the police.

He added that Sayoc had a temperament ranging from "zero to 100" and sometimes used his 1.8 meter frame (113 pounds) to intimidate other men.

"If he was not happy with something, he would let you know," Crosby said.

Yet he never saw Sayoc hitting anyone and he treated his employees well – even though he sometimes scammed the backers of the shows.

For example, Crosby stated that Sayoc sometimes drove separately in his old van, but not the now infamous one with which he had been arrested. He would then take pieces from the investor's newer van, and trade them for dying pieces from his clunker, Crosby said. Sayoc would then ask the investor to pay for repairs that the van needs now.

Twelve years later, however, when Sayoc worked for Gureghian at New River Pizza in Fort Lauderdale, honesty and reliability were his badets to winning work. He never flew and the customers never complained, said Gureghian.

But until he quit his job earlier this year, he regularly subjected his colleagues to violent political speeches. Gureghian called his views "pure hatred".

He hated liberals, blacks, Jews, and especially homobaduals, whom he called insults, Gureghian said.

Gureghian said that Sayoc had used his van for deliveries and that one rainy night he had offered to go home.

"The first thing I did was to try to make sure – if I'm not mistaken – if something happened, can I open that door to go out and go to bed?" she says.

Sayoc was living in the van and Gureghian said that it was a mess. There were empty containers of fast food restaurants, men's fitness supplements and alcoholic beverages. Dirty clothes were everywhere.

And, eerily, there were dolls with their heads cut off.

"He told me that he was repairing them for his two nieces," Gureghian said.
