Comment and Criticism, blog post by John Hoff
You read it FIRST on Johnny Northside! A source within MPD who has been reasonably reliable in the past, especially as far as reporting what is "rumored within the department," tells me in a breathless Facebook whisper that MPD Chief Deputy Eddie Frizzell plans to file against Hennepin County Sheriff Stanek in the next election.
If Frizzell wins...
...(and here is where the rumor gets oddly specific) then Stanek will be back as MPD Lt. If he loses because MPD eliminated Captains which he used to be but he'll get his old Captain pay.
Copied and pasted right off the "secret squirrel" Facebook message, folks.
JNS blog doesn't know Frizzell but has no reason to hold any negative opinion of the man. As for Stanek, he has always been helpful and gracious to this blogger. Long ago, when I dodged legal service that a frivolous litigant Level Three sex offender was trying to serve upon me, I spoke to Sheriff Stanek on the phone and apologized repeatedly and profusely if I had done anything to embarrass his department by, well, managing to get away from one of his deputies and then writing more than one darkly humorous blog post about the topic.
I won't say precisely what was said in that phone conversation but the upshot was...
Stanek held no rancor against me and said some time we'd have coffee together. I have never met the man but will have to take him up on that coffee some time.
I'm sure Hennepin County would be served well by either candidate but I'm interested to see what positions they take on various issues.
So if Stanek and Frizzell want to submit commentaries (even lengthy commentaries) to this blog, I will be happy to publish those pretty much verbatim. As election looms closer maybe I can submit questions to each of these men.
(Excited. Rubbing hands together)
Yet one question burns me here and now, and here it is:
Why is a wanted fugitive felon sex offender named Peter Rickmyer allowed to roam around free, filing frivolous litigation and generally making life difficult for decent people in North Minneapolis? Why isn't the warrant division of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office more or less DEMANDING and LOBBYING Oklahoma County, Oklahoma to take back their fugitive who has been wanted on a "non-extraditable" felony warrant since a time before the world heard the phrase THE MOTHER OF ALL BATTLES come from the lips of Saddam Hussein, so long ago was the warrant issued? The warrant is so old it's OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK.
That's why I care about. That ONE issue.
And as far as I'm concerned, anybody who solves THAT problem gets THIS blog's ringing endorsement, for whatever it's worth.
Stanek and his little bitch entitled son need to be strung up.
ReplyDeleteYou are the ONLY person who cares about what Rickmeyer is doing! That is why no one cares about a century old minor warrant. You need to examine your own delusions about and obsession with this guy Rickmeyer. You act like a rejected and spurned lover who has become a stalker. Move on with your life, John!
ReplyDeleteHere we go with the Pete Rickmyer shit again! John you answered your own question, the Oklahoma warrent is non-extradiable! end of story. As to why he is allowed to roam around free making life difficult for the people in North Mpls, (allegedy)It's because we live in the greatest nation in the world, and Rick has the same freedoms as the rest of us. The courts have taken steps to curb Rick filing his frivolous suits, (allegedly) We get it you don't like Rick. If he re-offends let us know, but otherwisw give it a rest. Here is a question, Why is Johnny Northside allowed to terrorize the people in North Mpls, OMG it's the same answer, because we live in the greatest nation in the world and you have the freedom to do so.
ReplyDeleteStanek has a son? I know nothing about this topic. Feel free to elaborate, nasty troll.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes 10:19 PM a nasty troll? The only value this blog has is entertainment value, and the nasty troll (allegedly)should be free to comment without you slandering him. And stop censoring this blog John, Let the people speak!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a bootlicker John. You so badly need those pats on your head from your masters don't you? They own you bro and don't pretend they actually care about you. To them you're probably just a problem and a liability that needs to go away.
ReplyDeleteJohn is willfully ignorant about Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek's son Ryan's felony destruction of 3 Rivers Park property, isn't he? How could you not hear about the Hennepin County Sheriff's son destroying $5,000.00 worth of park property, huh? Oh, by the way, did you know that the pictures of Ryan's muddy truck are being illegally withheld? Terry Dean, Nemmers

Johhnny: Ask your best buddy Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek why his son Ryan's pictures of his muddy truck are being illegally withheld after sonny Ryan committed felony criminal damage to 3 Rivers Park property, okay? Damage in the excess of $5,000.00 is a felony, isn't it? Are you going to ask for his mugshots? Oh, that's right, isn't it? Sheriff Stanek's son wasn't arrested, was he? Ryan wasn't arrested or charged, was he?

ReplyDeleteIs that the best you have on Stanek, troll? The son is 21, an adult, and has been an adult since the age of 18. It sounds like country boys having a good time who made a mistake and now will pay for it. I'm sure there will be no felony in the end but some kind of plea and compensation for damages. Somehow this story makes me like Stanek MORE.
ReplyDeleteAs for the young man, I say let him redeem himself with a hitch in the armed forces.
Oh, look who's here.
ReplyDelete"Lion News" is a naive small town entity with an axe to grind against Stanek and, well, law enforcement in general. I know this guy and, well, I'm not impressed. Some time ago Lion News asked for my help with advice about how to obtain some police data and I foolishly helped. WIthin a day or two, Lion News started throwing my name around like I was an ally of Lion News and I had to put the word out to those concerned that I have nothing to do with this guy. This is pretty much the pattern. Associate with Lion News, give Lion News help, and you'll regret it.
But since Lion News is actually commenting on point and raising substantive issues in a political race, I will allow that. But if Lion News starts to act nutty (which I fear is pretty much inevitable and will occur within no more than 48 hours) then Lion News won't be allowed to comment about ANYTHING AT ALL.
"Bootlicker" is so much nicer than other troll utterances.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, through long exposure to this blog and the feedback in the comments section, you are finally learning some nice manners.
Here.

Know what that is? A fork and a spoon. Let's see you use those instead of your bare hands and determined if you've really progressed or if this is just an anomaly.
'"Lion News" is a naive small town entity with an axe to grind against Stanek and, well, law enforcement in general.' Thanks for the childish smear, Johhny. What I post is upsetting to propagandists like you, isn't it? It is, isn't it? I have all sorts of pictures of the carnage at 3 Three Rivers Park property, don't I? (Johnny didn't ask for a single picture, did he?) In fact, I have pictures of two of the three vehicles that caused the felony damage, don't I? Just not Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek's son Ryan vehicle, correct? That is an affirmative. And does Johnny bat an eye or find that suspicious in the slightest? Nope. Why? Propagandist are trained to censor out or mitigate all the damning and incriminating facts, right Johnny?
ReplyDeleteCorrect. I did not ask you about the pictures because I don't CARE about the pictures.
ReplyDeleteBut even if, hypothetically, I actually cared about the pictures...
I don't go and just REPOST stuff available elsewhere for any story.
But even if, hypothetically, I engaged in the habit of just republishing stuff from other entities...
I wouldn't republish something from Lion News. Dealing with Lion News is like stepping in something unpleasant and then wondering why you smell bad before you realize something is stuck to your shoe. In fact, I can see that precise processing happening right now. I am already starting to regret publishing your comments but let me assure you it's not too late to just delate them.
You want a forum here to say what you have to say? Behave yourself. Or your comments won't be published.
"Process."
ReplyDeleteI meant to write "that precise process" not "that precise processing."
"I can see that precise processing happening right now. I am already starting to regret publishing your comments but let me assure you it's not too late to just delate them." Johnny is so rattled that he forgot to change "delate" to "delete," huh? Johnny the pictures are not on my blog, are they? You could be the blog with the exclusive pictures of the Hennepin Co. Sheriff Rich Stanek's son Ryan's carnage, couldn't you? But, I am sure that Rich is counting on you to keep a lid on his rigging of his son's case, aren't I? That is your job as Stanek's propagandist, isn't it? You're supposed to ignore the two different sets of laws & special treatment, right? The free and easy access to police reports would abruptly come to an end if you posted those damning pics, wouldn't they? Hmm?
ReplyDeleteOh, you got me. A typo.
ReplyDeleteYou totally got me.
I don't care whether the pictures are on your blog. You have them and I want NOTHING to do with you or your crazy little campaign to turn this minor matter into something of even modest size. I do not care to put that story on my blog and you will not be getting access to my 3,000 page views per day. Though, of course, if you had enough sense to ask nicely or be more manipulative you might sometimes get somewhere...
But you don't.
And what police reports are you even talking about? Kindly look over the FOUR THOUSAND PLUS STORIES on my blog and link to the single story which includes a Hennepin County POLICE REPORT. I think you have certain offices of Hennepin County all mixed up. I can see how that happens, give your limited insight into government entities larger than a county sheriff and half a dozen deputies. You really should stick to fishing in your own little pond out in Douglas County and not try to run with the big dogs.
"You have them and I want NOTHING to do with you or your crazy little campaign to turn this minor matter into something of even modest size." The spin master Johnny Northside is really going crazy stretching it to make $5,000.00 dollar felony criminal damage to public property into a minor incident, isn't he? The extra effort is because the perpetrator of the crime (Who was caught in the act - with beer cans, right?) is the son of Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Staneck's son Ryan, isn't it? The story is so radioactive that Johnny is running for the fallout shelter, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteBig Dogs? OMG! You sure think a lot of yourself. Dog yes, Big not even. Get a fuckin life John and stop censoring your posters, that subtracts from the entrtainment value of this blog, which is the only value that it has!
ReplyDeleteBet you'd put this story on your blog if the kid was black!
ReplyDelete"ICR#14002022 states the following: "My squad camera was out of service, Deputy Koch photographed the scene, and Officer Converse took photos of the suspects." West Hennepin Public Safety Incident Report" Johnny, maybe you could ask Sheriff Stanek why the West Hennepin Public Safety is not sending me the documentation on this very convenient dash cam failure, huh? How rude of me. Since you don't want the pictures of Ryan Stanek's felony criminal damage to public property pictures do want a copy of the police reports? They have the words "beer" "PBT" and other bad words in the reports, don't they? Or do you consider the reports just as radioactive? Hmmm?
ReplyDeleteSend me the reports if you like. I'll be happy to look those over. Send it to the same email where you have been sending rude, borderline psycho messages. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have not completely decided whether or not to put the story on my blog. The problem is not the story, though I may judge it not terribly relevant or something I don't care to pursue or whatever, or I might completely change my mind.
ReplyDeleteNo, the PROBLEM is I don't like to deal with Lion News because the person who operates Lion News is a problematic personality. And if I accept info from him, then he's going to keep TALKING to me and I want nothing to do with Lion News. He takes really minor stuff and he acts like he's found a gunman on the grassy knoll and he WILL NOT STOP YAMMERING ABOUT IT. So if I take his info and use it, he'll never stop talking and yammering and forcing his unwanted, overly-intense, borderline bipolar social interaction upon me.
John, you are correct on most counts, but you are not qualified to diagnose a person with Bi-Polar because you have not a clue about bears who like it both ways.
ReplyDeleteLion News,
ReplyDeleteYour comment is rejected.
And I don't want the reports or any further contact with you. You will not be allowed to comment further.
If somebody else offered me the reports I'm sure I would find them interesting. I might even publish those, though I don't see the actions of this young man as reflecting in any way on our sheriff. Fair is fair, though, I'd probably publish the reports because they are exclusive and "blog worthy."
But what it comes down to is I don't want the reports from YOU. That would require further sustained contact with you.
And therefore I don't want the reports from any other source, either, since they've already been yours and you are connected to them. I simply do not want to interact with you let alone receive information from you. I don't care if you have a picture of a gunman on the grassy knoll. Take your wares elsewhere.
To another comment that has been rejected: Not anymore they haven't. Not in a number of years for pretty much the same reasons I have outlined in these comments.
ReplyDeleteYou question Donnerson's behavior as effecting his son's behavior. But you totally reject that Rich Stanek has had any negative effect on his son.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of kid, takes his truck, ignores the signs, and drives on a horse trail and causes 5 grand in damage. You don't think this kid has an "Edina" attitude because his dad is Sheriff? You don't think he pulled the "My dad is Sheriff" card on the cops that stopped him?
The news article states that he ignored the orders of the cops and winched his truck out of the mud damaging trees.
Why wasn't he arrested on the spot, and booked into the jail?
I don't have that answer, but I'm willing to bet it's because his dad is a Sheriff.
This 21 year old has the "rich brat, my dad is Sheriff" attitude, and if his father had taught him respect, his name wouldn't be in the paper.
Yes John, his father is directly responsible for his attitude of disrespect. If Ryan Stanek had been brought up properly, this wouldn't have happened.
Sheriff Staneck has been doing a pretty good job. I haven't heard of any abuse of power or brutality cases involving Sheriff deputies since he took over.
ReplyDeleteStanek is widely hated by his employees. Good cops are leaving the department because of him.
ReplyDeleteWhen I stop publishing the comments of Lion News, suddenly an influx of "anonymous commenters" with the same trash talk. STRANGE COINCIDENCE? CONSPIRACY?!
ReplyDeleteI guess this is the new internet age form of what Ollie North called "plausible deniability."
Oh jeez, next you'll accuse the anonymous commentators of being Don Allen. You seriously need some anti-psychotic meds pal.
ReplyDelete>----------------------------------------------------------------<
And for those that remember Sheriff Stanek pissed off Mayor Rybak and former police Chief Dolan for taking credit for the response to the 35W bridge collapse. Stanek was a bit player, but he tried to steal the spotlight because he's an egotistical blowhard.
Johnny on the spot! Rich Stanek is almost beyond reproach...and check the Hennepin jail roster...can't even take care of his own. Must be difficult being an asshole.
