SAR Ignores Dismissal of Illegal Arrest of Jeffrey Marcus Gray: Why?

Sixteen (16) days after all bogus trespass charges were dismissed against Jefrrey Marcus Gray for picketing on a public sidewalk with a sign saying "First Amendment Is Not a Crime," and "Photography Is Not a Crime," there's still nothing in the St. Augustine Record about it.

Why?

Is the St. Augustine Record is in bed with Sheriff DAVID SHOAR and his henchmen? Does it lack decent respect for First and Ninth Amendment values?

Read my e-mail to St. Augustine Record owners and controllers, some of whom may not want you to know about official oppression in St. Augustine and St. Johns County.

What do you reckon?

Subject: Here's the "Smoking Gun!" -- Irrefragable First Amendment violations by Sheriff DAVID SHOAR and School Superintendent JOYNER et al. Aimed at Journalist-Activist Jeffrey Marcus Gray

Dear Ms. Fogel, Messrs. May, Morris, Richardson, Sutton, Korfhage, Keever, Martin and Ms. Gardner:
1. When is The St. Augustine Record finally going to do its job as a First Amendment watchdog -- without fear or favor -- and prominently report on our State's Attorney's righteous 4/25 dismissal of all of the wrongful criminal "trespass" charges brought against Jeffrey Marcus Gray, in violation of the First Amendment?
2. Does Morris Communications support the First and Ninth Amendments, or not?
3. Does Morris Communications oppose police state tactics by our Sheriff and School Superintendent and other examples of official oppression in our community, or not?
4. Mr. Gray is the only person ever to receive a trespass warning in the entire history of F.S. 810.0975, enacted in 2002, 1/7 of a century ago. See below.
5. What does that tell you?
6. Does being Sheriff mean "never having to say you're sorry?"
7. Does being The St. Augustine Record mean reckless, feckless, fawning obeisance to a corrupt political machine and doctrinaire adherence to President Ronald Reagan's "Eleventh Commandment" ("Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican")?
8. As RFK once wrote to Senator James O. Eastland, "repent now, there's still time."
Please call to discuss.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

There’s no log. Warnings given Mr Gray are the only ones the SJCSD has issued under 810.0975.

By school safety law, I assume you are referring to the school safety zone statute, 810.0975 ? pls confirm.

    This guy is a parasite filing frivolous lawsuits in order to gain cash money settlements. Waste of human excrement.

  2. Who are you? And who are you to judge? Jeff Gray performs a valuable public service. Like NAACP testers filing lawsuits on housing discrimination, Jeff uncovers the evil that otherwise would not be detected. So who are you, and why do you hate Jeff? Are you ex-Judge ROBERT KEITH MATHIS?

  4. That’s funny because his channel views would say otherwise. Anyone calling him a Patriot, suffers from mental illness. His is just a f
    Grifter and. That’s why Florida Bar got him stopped in filling the frivolous lawsuits. So nope he is not. A Patriot, to say he is. Is you just being dishonest, so your point has no merit.

  8. 1. One of the Anonymice is so full of hatred that s/he just posted on a 2016 article the same nasty, fact-free message four (4) times, attributing "mental illness" to people who consider Mr. Gray a patriot.

    2. Have you ever met Mr Gray? What is your interest?

    3. Jeffrey Marcus Gray is a patriot.

    4. Jeffrey Marcus Gray's 2017 video of Sheriff David Shoar and UnderSheriff Matthew Cline was featured in the New York Times, showing blatant First Amendment violations and louche lying by Shoar and Cline -- a lawyer with a degree from a now-defunct for-profit law school -- about our county-owned convention center at World Golf Village. Are you Shoar or Cline? Because your ranting cant sounds like something one of those two energumens would say.

    5. So who are you, a four-time poster on an article from 2016? Are you a psychiatrist? Or a failed politician?

    6. I feel sorry for unAmerican trolls and sad sacks, who hate Americans for exercising our cherished rights under the First Amendment and Florida Sunshine law, who hide behind anonymity.

    7. Identify yourself, please.
