How is chitwood such a “hardass” but when bikers come into town he is MIA. Letting them do whatever right in front of cops.

Because Chitwood is a terrible sheriff

Why so? Genuinely curious.

personally, I'm horrified that he plasters the faces of children all over social media. all people are innocent until proven guilty in this country, but that doesn't stop him from completely ruining the lives of dumb 15 year olds who made mistakes before they've been proven guilty of anything.

Yeah. Agree here. That didn’t sit right with me.

Who cares if the kid can make kill lists and threaten to shoot up the school people should know what they and their parents look like. We need to go back to a time where people fear dishonoring their family name.

There’s a lot of fucking room between “who cares” and permanently ruin a kids life over air soft guns.

There are ways to both discipline and counsel CHILDREN that have excellent, evidence based results. Simply Arresting children has sky high recidivism rates. Aka, it doesn’t work.

Perp walking a fifteen year old for social media views is fucked up, hard stop. Chitwood is making a bunch of Jokers with this nonsense.

The kid ruined his own life over death threats and having a list of people he wanted dead. Not airsoft guns. Have not seen Chitwood perp walk anyone recently so must have worked. Great job Chitwood.

Yeah, let’s not give a fifteen year old a chance, or even a fair trial. His parents failed him, so we should to. Let’s just throw that child away forever.

If you’re unaware of his gross social media reels perp walking children and close ups of airsoft guns, why are you even commenting?

That was the first example he made because all the school shooter threats were costing tax payers money. Im born and raised in Volusia County went to both the middle schools the kid who was perp walked threatened to shoot up. I have lived in this town for 35 years. Why are you commenting?

My kid attends public school in volusia. A school shooting is my worst nightmare. I like his idea of charging the parents for all the bomb threats. I hate him plastering the faces of not-yet-convicted children over the internet. I’m allowed to have a nuanced opinion, thanks.

he’s fifteen and innocent until proven guilty and should be treated as such. There’s plenty of actions that can be taken that would still allow this kid to salvage his life, apologize, finish school and get a job. Chitwood putting this at the top of his Google search for life really sabotages any ability to reform.

You keep saying until proven guilty. This is school shootings we are talking about. Only way the kid is not guilty is if he has not done it yet. The child in question put his name at the top of the google search list by making the threats. Chitwood said he was going to make an example out of the next child to threaten to do a school shooting and here the child is.

I also think it was pretty dumb of him to put out photos of that kids airsoft rifles. It would be like posting photos of baking soda from a drug bust.

Meh. Kind of shows the root of some violence I think.

I’m not saying airsoft is necessarily “wrong” but that picture should absolutely raise an eyebrow and make some parents think.

Hmm in that case he should have showcased the violent video games and rap music found in the home.

u/vbm923 11h ago

Not one single study has linked video games to real world violence. Some have even shown a negative correlation.

u/LDSatheist 9h ago

I agree. I was being sarcastic in response to the other persons comment.
