Troy Torres - Citizen of Guam Responding to media request for reply to Ray Tenorio For immediate release, September 18, 2018 (Yigo, Guam) The fact that Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him by the Attorney General makes me question whether he is actually mentally competent and fit to hold his current position as lieutenant governor of Guam. At this point I’m not sure if we, as a community, should invoke 10 GCA § 82202 or 3 GCA § 1121. I was not in Tumon nor anywhere near the Block Party on the night that Ray Tenorio was drunk, repeatedly grabbing a police officer’s gun and pointing a loaded weapon at law enforcement officers. I was not there when he committed reckless conduct. I was not there when he first lied about it publicly and blamed the officer. I was not there when he then changed his story and apologized over and over and over for his actions. I was, however, at the Dededo precinct several days later where I proudly filed a police report based on his actions as is my right as a citizen of this island. So if Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him then he is wrong. That is his own fault. If he is blaming me for making sure his reckless and shocking actions did not get swept under the rug well, then, guilty as charged. I filed that report to make sure the corruption of this Administration did not continue to permeate through the darkness and that it would be brought to light. I did it to ensure that those brave police officers were not retaliated against for standing up against this pathetic excuse for a leader. And I did it for every man, woman and child on this island who is fed up with the evil acts of our leaders. If I had not filed that police report, then Ray Tenorio would go on, facing no consequences for his actions, to continue the corruption of the Calvo Administration as a tyrant this island has never seen before. So, yes, I did that and I’d do it again. Why? Because Ray Tenorio and his spineless Chief of Police orchestrated a police operation that destroyed my privacy and woke my sobriety to a criminal justice system corrupted by the politics of power. If he had never done that, I would have never had the courage to do anything about his crimes. I hope as he spends his time behind bars, that every minute of his miserable ordeal he regrets the day he went after me and anyone else who has survived his misdeeds. As for the Republican Party of Guam, either get rid of this guy, or the voters simply will send you all into the political graveyard this November. Is Ray Tenorio really worth abandoning the hard work of statesmen like Carlos and Felix Camacho, Joe Ada, Frank Blas, Tony Unpingco, and so many remarkable men and women who gave themselves in the service of this island and that party? I feel sorry for all of them now, in much the same way they must have felt sorry for me when they cracked jokes about my former drug abuse. They’re in my thoughts and prayers, always. .
