Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods had zero patience for media games Thursday when a reporter tried to hijack a press conference about a major child predator sting to ask about an unrelated Florida Highway Patrol lawsuit.

Florida Sheriffs'.....you gotta love 'em. 😂

Investigate the reporter
He definitely was NOT pleased with that reporter…
“Those pieces of sh*t right here…”
I’m assuming he had the perps there with him? Or was it photos?
Either way… I like that guy 😂
Photos.......if I was that so called “reporter” I’d make sure I drove the speed limit for a few weeks.
And OBTW, this needs to happen way more often.
The lib media is notorious for hijacking press conferences to ask questions unrelated to the press conference.
That sheriff just taught a master class on how to handle these jackals.
I think just photos.
I think I saw the vid via James Woods on X. His comment was something like “I don’t think I’m related to the sheriff, but I wish I were!”
….and they don’t just ask a question. They make a statement which establishes a premise that the person being asked must either agree with or deny before answering. I hate it.
Indeed, if the reporter can turn the focus from his own personal predilections to another subject entirely, he will have achieved his objective of protecting other child molesters.
Well done! Need more of this.
It’s a shame the reporter and his employer weren’t identified.
Sheriff shut guy down as he should , trying a weasel trick like that.
The case the reporter was talking about was messed up. FHP Arrested and jailed the wrong woman over a crash that killed three motorcyclists . County Investigators went over all the 911 calls, something the FHP did not do and got not only the correct color (maroon vs black), but a partial license plate as well , that lead to the arrest of the actual criminal.
The innocent woman spent 2 weeks in jail.
Thank you!
Now just imagine how fast we could turn this country back around if the majority of sheriffs in this country were like this one…
The FHP deal was irrelevant to the reason for the press conference.
If it had been me the reporter woulda been ejected immediately.
Re master class:
Yes… I have to agree that that was absolute perfection.
Not sure the reporter knew what hit him… 😁
I realize that, just a little background on what he was talking about.
As far as that goes FHP fucked up big time , some heads should roll over thre, what a bunch of fuck ups
If the reporter is local, I’d put money on his sudden abilities to obey EVERY traffic law…
The sheriff went off the rails a bit with his language, but the reporter was totally off base and deserved to be put in their place.
The reporter is just doing what trolls do on websites.
There’s one right on this thread.....see post 15.
Ha!!! You win!
