Has anyone started a “GoFundMe” for these folks?
As a matter of fact the officer said that they had started one. It’s here - https://www.gofundme.com/navy-veteran-fire-relief?ssid=831189536&pos=1
I’m going to add that to the report so people can help him.
Thanks for doing the interview. And thanks for posting your whole article.
I appreciate it. I just hope they catch the low-lifes who did this and that the Smiths can recover financially very quickly. I hope they had fire insurance and that the GoFundMe page gives them lots of help.
Hehe. That’s some name you got there, RHETT.
Welcome to FR. Hopefully you’ll be more than a blogpimp.
So you have an anonymous interview done by a pseudonym.
And it reads like you were talking to yourself.
Tell me - Does your press credential pocket thingy say “Rhett October” with your picture on it?
None of the “real” media is covering this. It must be “fake” news.
I made the phone call today to someone I know who is a police officer in Tampa. Feel free to fact check it for yourself. Other outlets will catch on. I quoted him.
He also said that he thinks it’s tied to a BLM sympathizing group who vandalized other homes back in September.
getting REAL sick of your BS blog pimping! You need to go away.
I'll get right on that.
I'll just dial up the Tampa Police and ask to speak with "Officer X."
Of course I'm just foolin' with you.
I know in real life his name is "Officer Well-Placed Sources."
“getting REAL sick of your BS blog pimping! You need to go away.”
I bitched about this a week or so ago——but gave up.
I don’t get it.

Well so far Mr. October (That’s like “Mr. September, but late) has had most of his stuff moved to “Bloggers” and a few of his threads have gotten the Zot.
Most recently he had one pulled for some thinly disguised re-wording of another person’s story, which he also conveniently forgot to cite as source.
Is it plagiarism?
Let’s just say that Rhett October has a lot in common with Joe Biden’s Law Review articles and Milli Vanilli.
Not well placed, just lucky I knew someone in that town. And lucky he was willing to tell me things. But he also said that the same information was available to other media sources if they were interested in asking for the information. So you could probably call and tell them you are with Free Republic and want to report on the BLM vandalism and they’d tell you the same information he gave me - just without the political opinion on hate crimes.
I posted the entire thing here at Free Republic. No blog pimpin. I’ve seen posts today that used an excerpt to link to a website that had lifted the first few paragraphs and then linked to the original. And they did it in the news section. But I do exactly what the moderators tell me to do and post the full content in the blog section and you troll on me. Don’t you have better things to do?
Yep, and they made no mention of “Black Lives Matter,” being one of the things painted in graffiti. I wonder if Matthew said that but they didn’t air it. Also note that they don’t mention that police think this is the same group who vandalized and burned other homes in September. They actually didn’t talk to any police in that report. I wonder why they didn’t do a follow up with police who investigated. Well, I did.
