When Inmates Run the Asylum

We live in a society growing more insane by the second. A surreal state of affairs that borders on asinine where a convicted criminal with a rap sheet longer than Richard Nixon’s Pinocchio-erected nose is able to get 15 minutes of infamy by refusing to show his ID when asked by a cop.

By now most people are familiar with the media-induced hoopla surrounding Sandusky, Ohio and Andre Stockett. For those few blissfully unaware, Stockett, who has been arrested & charged 93 times, recently accused the Sandusky Police Department of racial profiling after refusing to show his ID to an officer. I contend that the officer was merely doing his job and engaged in criminal profiling.

The local salacious rag, the Sandusky Register, has fanned the flames of racial discord, and provided a career criminal with a stage to spout off his grievances, and to offer advice to the SPD. Stockett telling the police how to do their jobs is like an arsonist telling firefighters how to do theirs.

Stockett’s arrest record includes assault, possession of cocaine, abduction, aggravated menacing, and robbery (not to mention 7 different charges of domestic violence). Just another good guy being harassed by the racist white police. Then he has the nerve to compare Sandusky to Ferguson. All the while, the Sandusky Register devours his drool like so many lap dogs in a rabies kennel.

To support Stockett on his anti-cop crusade is a Know Your Rights rally scheduled October 11th in Sandusky, Ohio. According to the Facebook event page 110 people are scheduled to go (as of 9AM this morning).

Using this website: http://www.sanduskymunicipalcourt.org/, I was able to discern that the attendees to this event have a combined 994 criminal charges amongst them. Stewards of the Sandusky community for sure. This total does not include the two outstanding charges Stockett racked up in Morrow County. I originally set the over/under at a 1000 just by glancing at the names. See, this is simple investigative reporting, something the Sandusky Register avoids. They’d rather create the narrative that inspires the most controversy instead of reporting the facts.

I have a great idea, if an officer asks to see your ID, show it to him then be on your way in 5 minutes. If you don’t have a warrant you have nothing to hide. Instead, Stockett became belligerent and verbally abusive, dropping “f bombs” on the cop like he’s never been pulled over before. If Sandusky really were Ferguson, this sort of act would’ve resulted in pepper spray, or worse.

So let’s drop the Ferguson comparisons, and better yet, pick a better social activist than a career criminal. As Public Enemy once pointed out: “Don’t believe the hype!”

James You need an update: the corrupt lying tainted police officer Denny already knew the passenger was Andre Stockett because the so called officer called dispatch to see if Andre Stockett 'had any papers on him' and dispatch said no not in Sandusky. He did have a moving violation in another jurisdiction. So the cops who swear to God Almighty to serve and protect are low diwn dirty racists lying criminals themselves. And to threaten to take away an innocent baby in an effort to get MR. stockett to bend to their evil will is demonic. Go to Sandusky Register online. The cops followed the same corrupt script most police departments follow when it comes to racial profiling and police brutality. The joke is on the police apologists and I hope Mr. Stockett bankrupts the city with his lawsuit.

Jonathan Heatt If Officer Denny already knew the passenger was Andre Stockett then that proves the officer was merely criminally-profiling him instead of racially-profiling him.

Sandtown isn't very big. If a person doesn't want the police to target them then it's probably not a good idea to commit dozens upon dozens of crimes.

Thank you for your comment.

Jonathan Heatt For the record: the 100 people attending the Sandusky rally today do not represent the city of Sandusky. Considering that about 30,000 people reside in Sandusky, Stockett's supporters consist of less than 1/3 of 1% of the city's population.

And if Stockett is so worried about people judging him based solely on his past then he should write a book. Because right now, his record is telling the story.

Jonathan Heatt Feb 2015 Update:

Some people ask me why do I give a shit about this? My Jeopardy answer:

A wanna-be Rick Ross dude trying to act like Malcolm X. And the Libs eat it up...Kibbles, and the bits too.

The Sandusky Register hypes up a Deadbeat Dad/Career Criminal who pitches a bitch about showing his ID during a traffic stop.

And now the BGSU Democraps, in their finite tunnel vision, are having the follicly-challenged muse to a Willie D song come to speak.

"We pay our debts sometime."
-Alice In Chains

So long as they don't involve children, says the hero activist of the criminal community.

A crook, a fraud, a pathological charlatan does more harm than good when center stage in activism. He does nothing for the real victims of racial profiling. He becomes a pawn of the media to besmear the problem. Sort of like plaster on a hole in the wall. Is the hole still there? Or did they cover it with puttzy?

When it comes to the horrid case of Eric Garner, or the police shooting in Cleveland, or even the Ferguson controversy, this Sandtown dude is a fuckin' joke. The punchline of the Sandusky Register. Is it still a news organization? Or a shrill controversy magnet infatuated with web-clicks?

They have no more interest in the truth than the sociopathic protagonist in Nightcrawler.

Jonathan Heatt I tried to tell people:

http://www.sanduskyregister.com/story...

A Sandusky man was arrested on drug trafficking charges Monday after police raided his home.

Andre Stockett was charged with two counts of felony drug trafficking and one count of felony cocaine possession.
