Recent Dog Incidents and the Sheriffs Office

New posts
The only similarities I see in this and the Ruder Case John G is, that the Sheriff will find a way for his self indulgent "atta boy" moment in the press and of course he will be hailed the hero.

I'm sure the press release will be something to the effect of...."the process worked".
 
Is this an example of what happens to a stable neighborhood when a violent person moves in? The mother of two young daughters who had the gun thrust into her face by Torey Geile has already moved and has her house up for rent. Another mother of three bought a gun and is actively searching for a new home. Both of these families are among the first buyers when the street was developed. I can't say Torey Geile is the sole reason for them leaving but there was no hint of them moving until these recent incidents.:dunno:
 
The court of public opinion in action.


I was waiting with baited breath for the Sheriff fans to comment. Didn't think you would be the first though.
 
In domestic violence situations, when the Sheriff shows up, if the victim has visibly been assaulted the perp is automatically arrested, They don't pass go, they don't collect $200.00 and they don't get out jail free.

In a public affray when the Sheriff shows up, if the victim has visibly been assaulted the perp is automatically arrested, They don't pass go, they don't collect $200.00 and they don't get out jail free.

If you happen to be having cocktails at your favorite jolly spot and a fight breaks out when the Sheriff shows up, if the victims have visibly been assaulted the perp is automatically arrested, They don't pass go, they don't collect $200.00 and they don't get out jail free.

In Walton County if you have your jaw broken trying to defend yourself, your life or your family from a vicious attack the Sheriff says “It was clearly the result of mass confusion,” and hands the perp a get out of jail free card!?!?
 
What I want to know is how does Torey Geile have a concealed weapon permit when he has prior domestic violence convictions? He shot a snake outside of an elementary school and pulled a gun with a silencer on a neighbor. Granted the domestic violence charges were misdemeanors and not felonies, however one stipulation to having a gun permit is whether you have prior domestic violence charges against you. Something is not right here.
 
It's really confusing how our local media reports this incident and makes it look like this Tory Geile joker is a small town hero for shooting a gun in a school zone and causing the school to be on lock-down. He was in his work truck, Torey could have killed the snake with a shovel or some other tool. Instead he pulls a Wyatt Earp on the thing because he's a self proclaimed "above the law" mental case. We need a new sheriff in town!!!
 
It looks as if this case has opened the eyes of many as to how the local Sheriff chooses to enforce (or not enforce) the laws and ordinances of the County and State.

While most everyone is pondering how this could be, let's not forget this case from Summer 2015:

Walton County Woman Arrested on Battery Charges

If you cannot access the link, her name is Edie Batt. She is a property owner in South Walton who was arrested and taken to jail for slapping a cell phone out of the hand of another female she (Batt) believed was Trespassing on her private property.

The "battery" that occurred in this case was a misdemeanor crime and Could Have been handled with a Notice To Appear Summons, in lieu of a physical arrest.

She was arrested and taken to jail in DeFuniak Springs...

Compare this case to the Pastor Attack and I feel there are lots of questions that need to be answered.

There are other examples of the Sheriff choosing to not enforce laws, with little or no explanation, for example; noise ordinance violations, wedding house nuisance disturbances, the infamous beach chair guy being attacked by a drunk wedding party...

To add to this.. When Torey pulled the gun with a silencer on the neighbor after his dogs attacked her dog, a police report was filed. The WCSO said Torey did not have a criminal record and had the right to bear arms on his own property. So clearly this man can attack anyone and anything he chooses and his dogs are also granted the same immunity.
