Crime New Jersey man arrested for threatening Volusia sheriff on 4chan, Sheriff’s Office says

A man from New Jersey was arrested on Monday for threatening to kill Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood, authorities said.

Richard Golden, 38, faces extradition to Volusia County and a felony charge for written threat to kill or cause injury, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Golden’s threat, posted on a 4chan on Feb. 22, regarded Chitwood’s stance against an upswing antisemitic activities in Volusia County.

The threat read: “Just shoot Chitwood in the head and he stops being a problem. They have to find a new guy to be the problem...But shooting Chitwood in the head solves an immediate problem permanently. Just shoot Chitwood in the head and murder him.”

The Central Florida Intelligence Exchange flagged the threat and launched a joint investigation.

South Brunswick Police Department officers arrested Golden Monday afternoon. According to the arrest report, Golden told detectives that he did not intend to act on the threat he made.

Golden is being held at the Middlesex County Corrections Center, pending extradition to Volusia County.

In a statement, South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka said “the anonymous nature of the internet may make people feel they can say anything, but if you make threats or put people in fear we will use all our resources to track you down.”

Chitwood has been publicly denouncing hate-speech and hate groups following a stunt last month over International Speedway Boulevard, where white supremacists where recorded holding up antisemitic signs in an attempt to harass Jewish people.

The following day, antisemitic messages and flyers were spread throughout Volusia County. The Sheriff’s family was also targeted by hate groups.

“I cannot wait to meet [Golden] when he gets off the plane,” Chitwood said, “because one of the first faces he’s going to see welcoming him to the Volusia County Jail, the happiest place on earth, is going to be me.”

You're just mad because you can't enjoy the hottest band in the world.

But Gene Simmons fucked all the women and there's none left for the incels *sob*

The holocaust didn't happen, but it should have.

You'll just have to find some way of living with the disappointment that a tiny, minute fraction of the population has somehow managed to outwit you, runs the worlds entertainment and finance and controls the entire narrative.

You were bested by Jews. More importantly, your parents and entire generation in congress were. Tsk tsk.

I've heard that Mike Chitwood is a child molester who sucks baby dicks after the rabbis get finished with the circumcisions. I've also read that he brutally beat a black inmate to death and concealed the death by dumping the body in a dumpster while acting in his official capacity as a law enforcement officer. At least that's what some people in Florida are saying.

 

[Blacklight]

Jesus christ, that sheriff is a massive faggot. He's acting like those idiot antifa jackasses who LARP about fighting the 'man' when they target some small business, or local liqueur store. Replace the small business with anyone mocking him and it's the same. He WISHES he could be a good boy and find real KKK members to shoot, but it's 2023. The demand for actual racists vastly outstrips the supply side.

That man is clearly homosexual. That man clearly takes balls to the face every day.

On one hand I get a lot of entertainment out of watching the stormfag rejects seethe like teenagers because they got told "No," but on the other hand Chitwood is irritating me because he is just copying the way his father used to talk, the difference between father and son is that the father would rant about actual criminals that were robbing, murdering and destroying Upper Darby, which borders West Philadelphia and gets a lot of spillover crime, and a lot of transients because its where a lot of the light rail and bus routes have their origin points for eastern Delaware County. His father retired in 2019 and its been a rough few years for Upper Darby without him.

Why the son is getting into social media feuds just escapes me, I'd really wish he would just focus on his fucking job.

That's the face of a man who enjoys niggeroni made in his basement.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Wait, that's considered a legitimate threat?

It isn't a threat, but it could be considered a call to action. Though, context should factor in. It's a random guy talking out his ass to nobodies online. He should get a slap on the wrist at most, but he'll probably get more time than a violent nigger.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

I cannot believe this retard is a sheriff

A retard sheriff wouldn't care about what is being said on 4chan...the FBI on the other hand. What would be based is the sheriff drops it and lets the feds do their thing rather than be tied to unconstitutional actions.

4chan is clearly a honeypot at this point.

I'm kind of sad that this implies people thought contrary after 4chan got national attention many years ago. That's more words to say, don't be a retard on the internet because someone is watching;


Well that and its ties to violent retards and 4chan was an SEO clickbait gold mine before Donald Trump.

 

[TowinKarz]

I miss the bad ol' days where the Sheriff would just ignore pissants talking loud, or at most, work them over in the alley behind the bar..... it's not flattering when they take toothless threats from losers that are almost certain to never vet seriously.

You don't understand. I need to get the FBI to import people from all over the country to my jurisdiction so I can punish them appropriately of course.

No, it couldn't. You have to be very, stupidly, hilariously specific for any speech to legally puncture the protection of the first amendment.

This isn't even in the same galaxy as a call to action.

The corrupt sheriff will make sure he gets the shit beaten out of him by niggers. They'll get let go for their service to this repulsive corrupt pig.

No threats found in this post.
No antisemetism found in this post.
But if Sheriff Tranny decides to single you out, he will get local police to haul you in and start punishing you with the process.

 

[Happy Fish]

Wait, that's considered a legitimate threat?

Well, they certainly want you to think it is. Whether or not the charges stick they wrote this article.

But no, brainstorming good solutions to a problem is not a death threat.

 

[The Internet Dick]

Forget the "in minecraft" part of the post. How is that legally considered a threat if he didn't say he was going to do it?

You're right: There is a strong hypothetical aspect to the phrasing Golden employed in the 4Chan post. A good attorney could probably argue that its speculative tone negates any intention to translate ideation into action--I mean, hey, it would be worth a try.

The downside of such a strategy is it would mean taking it to trial, always a risky move, and it would also take a really talented, persuasive lawyer to pull it off. Golden frankly doesn't look like someone who can afford that level of legal representation.

 

[BoomerSperg1922]

Not a credible threat, any bargain bin lawyer would be able to get him out of this. HE should be able to argue his way out of this.

This is why you always preface your homicidal impulses with "I hope someone..."

Edit: He actually told detectives he WAS making a threat (according to the article), holy shit what a fucking retard if that's true.
