SATP Patriots Will Question THOMAS CAMERON COWARD, Fatal Deputy In Shooting of Nurse Andrea Sheldon

St. Augustine Tea Party Meeting TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019, 6:30 pm, at MELLOW MUSHROOM PIZZA in St. Augustine.

SATP patriots:  DO bring questions for THOMAS CAMERON COWARD, President of the St Johns County Federation of Young Republicans, a St. Johns County Deputy who fired shots that

• helped kill Andrea Sheldon, hospice nurse, in her home on April 14, 2012 and 
• killed Rodney Wayne Stevens in his home, December 11, 2013.

THOMAS CAMERON COWARD embellishes reports and gives inconsistent testimony.  He once allegedly claimed credit in the news media for rescuing a boy in the surf when his heroism apparently extended to getting his ankles wet.

St. Johns Sheriff's Department gives out annual awards for "armed combat."

It and St. Johns County's corrupt political machine are both headed by Sheriff DAVID SHOAR, who legally changed his name from "HOAR" in 1994.

A fish rots from the head.

Sheriff DAVID SHOAR f/k/a is the man who hired RAYE BRUTNELL, who embezzled from $702,771 to $1.2 million as SHOAR's Finance Director during 2011-2018.  BRUTNELL's husband, MARK BRUTNELL, is an FDLE agent SHOAR hand-picked to investigate Andrea Sheldon's shooting.  Yes, it's All in The Family at HOAR's house.

Sheriff DAVID SHOAR helped coverup two homicides:

• September 2, 2010 murder of Ms. Michelle O'Connell in the home of Deputy Jeremy Banks, a crime that has still never been presented to a grand jury.
• January 31, 2019 murder of Eli/Ellie Washtock, who was investigating Ms. O'Connells murder and had hired investigators to do so, spending tense of thousands of dollars.

Here's the PR fluff from HISTORIC CITY NEWS blog:

Historic City News readers are patriotically invited to attend the open meeting of the Saint Augustine Tea Party on Tuesday, November 12th at 6:30 p.m. at the Mellow Mushroom Restaurant, 410 Anastasia Boulevard in Saint Augustine. Our special guest speaker this month will be Cameron Coward, President of the St Johns County Federation of Young Republicans.

The Florida Federation of Young Republicans are young professionals who vary in age, up to 40 years old. Providing crucial support to the Republican Party, Young Republicans take part in GOP activities in their communities, registering voters, phone-banking, managing campaigns, and even running for public office themselves.

In addition to taking an active role in the St Johns County Federation of Young Republicans, Cameron Coward is also part of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans. As a representative of St Johns County, Mr. Coward attends meetings all over the state and country.

Please join us for a very informative presentation, as Cameron will discuss working in our community to ensure the future of the Republican Party. Question and answer session to follow. There is no admission charge and you do not need to be a member of the Saint Augustine Tea Party to attend and participate.



For those of us here in the reality-based community, here's my 2016 blog post about all of the fatal shootings by deputies in the Sheriff's Department encumbered since January 2005 by the leadership of DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, who legally changed his name to "HOAR" in 1994:
