I can kind of understand why her kid would have mental problems, being raised by this nuttier-than-a-squirrel’s-breakfast gal.

Rebekah Jones’ son was arrested because the 13-year-old made repeated threats to shoot up Holley Navarre Middle School and to stab students who angered him:
In the messages to his friends, the teenager made the following statements, among others:

“I want to shoot up the school.”

If I get a gun I’m gonna shoot up hnms lol.”

“I’m getting a wrath and natural selection shirt so maybe but I don’t think many ppl know what the columbine shooters look like.”

“Okay so it’s been like 3-4 weeks since I got on my new antidepressants and they aren’t working but they’re suppose to by now so I have no hope in getting better so why not kill the losers at school.”

Jones isn’t a martyr; she’s a myth-peddler. She isn’t a scientist; she’s a fabulist. She’s not a whistleblower; she’s a good old-fashioned confidence trickster...Since she first made her claims Jones has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through multiple GoFundMe accounts (and, once she realized that she was losing a percentage to credit card fees, through paper checks); she has became a darling of the online left.

There is an extremely good reason that nobody in the Florida Department of Health
as sided with Jones. It’s the same reason that there has been no devastating New York Times exposé about Florida’s “real” numbers. That reason? There is simply no story here..... By all accounts, Rebekah Jones is a talented developer of GIS dashboards. But that’s all she is. She’s not a data scientist. She’s not an epidemiologist. She’s not a doctor. She didn’t “build” the “data system,” as she now claims, nor is she a “data manager.”

Much of the national attention that Jones has received is the result of her insisting that, having learned about her “whistleblowing,” Governor DeSantis used his “Gestapo” and “raided” her house, putting her children in danger. But this, too, is a ridiculous lie.

Jones now claims that she was “terrified” by the police’s visit. But even this seems to be highly questionable. Not only did she prepare for the visit by creating a made-for-the-cameras sign that read “Biden hire me!” — hardly the instantaneous work of someone who is surprised that the cops are at the door — but she subsequently spread a host of extraordinary claims about the conduct of the police that, after festering online for a while and spawning a swiftly dropped lawsuit from Jones, were flatly disproven by the release of the body-camera footage.

“Jones first teased the ‘breaking’ story about her son on Wednesday but said she needed the ‘Trump indictment fever’ to die down.”

LOL. The phony charges against Trump are going to dominate the news cycle for the next 18 months.

Also, this mom’s reaction is to play the media angle. Mom doesn’t know how to mom, but she sure wants to get some attention.

Excellent Daily Mail article on that loonie. Thanks!

“Rebekah Jones led a team of Florida Department of Health scientists and public health officers to create and design a comprehensive COVID-19 dashboard

The 30-year-old said in a May 5 email that she was fired for refusing to ‘manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen’

DailyMail.com can reveal that she was fired in 2017 from Florida State University when she was a PhD student and instructor for having an affair with her student

Jones was charged with three counts of cyberstalking her student Garrett Sweeterman, then 21, who filed a restraining order against her

She allegedly created a ‘revenge porn’ website called SurvivingGarrett and sent the link to online boards focusing on women’s issues and the #metoo movement

Jones posted at least 60 pages of a 342-page manifesto with a narrative of the affair with Sweeterman, including screen grabs of sexts between the two

She claims in the essay that the fling with Sweeterman led to a pregnancy. She gave birth to a little girl in mid-2018 and shares an eight-year-old son with her husband”

Time for a democrat DA to indict DeSantis and prosecute. If he’s innocent he has nothing to worry about. Moohoohahahaha!
