Re: Glendale Police Report by Officer Andrews: DR 01-13775
Assault and Battery Upon Victim Dean McAdams
Dear Mr. St. John:
Thank you for your phony concerns and lies you glibly tossed out during our telephone conversation on August 20. When I took my time to come in and see you in person, your employee "Murdoch" admitted in front of the both of us on that same date that he took a report of the August 19 incident and had the name of the perpetrator who threatened my life. Now, on this date, you deny that you have the perpetrators name and say that you have turned the matter over to your Risk Management Department. You obviously think I am a dumb pushy lying salesman just like you. WRONG! I work in the Legal Department of an insurance company. Risk Management comes into play long before incidents such as this occur, i.E., underwriting, safety planning, security planning, etc. However, I will not waste my time attempting to explain this to you, as it is either beyond your understanding, or you will simply deny it.
This letter shall serve to memorialize the facts surrounding the incident.
On Sunday August 19, at 4:30 P.M., at the GLENDALE SPORTING CLUB located at 450 N. Brand Blvd., a perky Armenian girl approximately age 25 began flirting with me. I am a happily married man and merely smiled back at her. I attended a family funeral on Saturday August 18, and was on my way to a family dinner with relatives in from Florida. I had neither the time nor the inclination to ruin either my marriage or my family dinner. (I was indeed late to dinner as a result of this incident).
At 5:15 P.M. "Allie" an Armenian friend of mine told me to go into the dry sauna, as he had heated it up, I joked "where is that girl in the orange swimsuit who is trailing me?
I WENT INTO THE STEAM SAUNA FIRST AND THE SAME FLIRTATIOUS ARMENIAN GIRL IN THE ORANGE SUIT CAME INTO THE SAUNA AFTER ME and we sat at opposite ends of the steam sauna as I did my after work out Yoga. No words were exchanged whatsoever were exchanged between us and SO she left.
At 5:30 P.M. The flirtatious Armenian girl's father walked up to me out of the blue and committed assault and battery upon me by touching me with his finger, drawing it across my neck and saying "I am going to kill you!" in a thick Armenian accent. He ranted something about his daughter that I could barely
understand. The man was very serious, I attempted to apologize for any misperceived transgressions several times, but the aggressor would have none of it and threatened by life a total of three (3) times.

GLENDALE SPORTING CLUB management at first refused to take an incident report, so I asked to call the police. Management got really angry my request for police assistance.
When the Glendale Police arrived Officer Martinez said that he had personally responded to similar incidents of this nature, some much more serious than mine where a member had a face smashed in and a nose broken.
Mr. St. John, as you yourself stated, the club will go to hell if violent members are allowed to continue this conduct unabated. Actually, it has already gone to hell according to several other members. You obviously do not care as you can run into your office and hide. I can see that you are part of the problem and a hindrance to the solution. Certain of your employees are siding with the troublemakers, as they are also Armenian. I got a lot of dirty looks from some of your employees during this incident. Also, Officer Martinez and I stood in the central reception/aerobic area of the club for ten (10) minutes waiting for Officer Andrews to show up as back up. The non-violent Caucasian members did not look too happy about this, but certain other persons seemed to be enjoying the aura of danger and tension.
Let this be constructive and actual legal notice
to the glendale sporting club:
You are now on notice of dangerous conditions at your club referenced herein and any further such incidents may subject you to a lawsuit for causes of action which may include punitive damages.
You have created a situation where violent personalities can threaten, assault, and batter with impunity.
I again request you to contact me regarding what you intend to do to remedy this situation. I am a non-violent Caucasian Professional and a gentleman with advanced degrees and a career in the legal profession. I pay a lot of money to go to Glendale Sporting Club to work out, not to fight. I am especially disappointed about this situation because I work in a Law Firm next door to the club and two of my co-workers wanted to join the Sporting Club so we could work out together and have health improvement contests! My wife will not even join this club because of the known danger from
Armenians! I have a legal, moral, and ethical responsibility to give notice of the conditions herein to the community at large.
I must now warn the public at large the dangers they face if they make the mistake of joining your club.

Mr. St. John, you may remember that I even remarked to you when I joined that I did not want to deal with violent Armenian troublemakers at such an exclusive club. Even if my co-workers and I were forced to defend ourselves against assaults, our careers could be in jeopardy as we are sworn officers of
the court. There are rules posted in the club that the type of behavior exhibited towards me by this Armenian gentleman are specific grounds to have his membership revoked, (I consider this a contract). What do you indent to do? Nothing obviously. How does The Glendale Sporting Club plan to provide a safe environment for the people who pay a premium to work out at an exclusive club? Lie, of course. I still have a year left on my Balleys membership, and your salesmen promised me that The Glendale Sporting Club did not even compare to the low quality of Balleys. You either need to stop making these false representations or remedy this situation in a major way.
Thank you in advance for your phony professional consideration in rectifying this most unfortunate problem. Until then, I will be in both the bricks and mortar neighborhood and the World Wide Web warning the unsuspecting public of the dangers at your club.
It is time that someone like myself finally takes a stand against they tyranny of Health Clubs and violent minorities that do not know how to act in a civilized nation. Once a person is given the hard sell to join your club, you then give them the hard sell to pay for $75.00 trainers.
The truth shall set you free
Cordially,
Dean McAdams
