WBAI LSB meeting September 9, 2009 where a sledgehammer Is displayed and an assault against Michael Vincent Crea is reported to have occurred. At about 8 minutes the sledgehammer is displayed.
At 51:23, Ryan makes several threatening physical gestures after saying "F..k you" to Khalfani andhas to be taken off. Khalfani only acts - talks, actually - in response to the threats. Yet he is the one who was suspended - as a volunteer producer - while Ryan has continued in his position undisturbed.
At 32:28, Kamau Khalfani objects to the just transpired assault on Michael Crea by Seth Goldberg (an ally of Mitchel Cohen and the coup management) by pulling a chair from under him. Please watch until the end. Kamau also condemns the action of Ryan and others for stepping over Crea, as he lay on the floor. When this happens Ryan says "F -you to Kamau, in front of Williams, who then told Kamau he was banned and suspended, as were others in the opposition. Nothing happened to Goldberg or Ryan.
And at 16:38, Ryan is seen conferring with the chair. It appears that both senior management and the board chair at the very least assented to, if not directed, the behavior of Ryan at this meeting.
LaVarn Williams, the then-acting GM of WBAI and still current CFO of Pacifica Foundation, can be seen actually SMILING encouragement at Ryan as he walks past her with the sledgehammer on his shoulder at 08:35 et seq.
