Lots of "Well, every interaction I had with Nick Rekieta was a good one-- he was always nice to me personally, so this is just sad and I hope he gets his life together."



I'd rather see no reactions from these content creators than these limp dick reactions.
AGREE 100000%. These faggots think anyone cares that Nick was always nice to them? Get the fuck out of here.
He neglected his 5 children. He is a worthless piece of shit and has some heavy-duty atonement due. He doesn’t deserve his children. Neither does Kayla, but I hope she can divorce him and get them back someday. Two addicts won’t have an easy time… and those kids deserve far better.
 
Correction, Barnes was not fired off that team because of his general incompetence. Barnes was fired because he tried to railroad himself into the lead position with the goal of making the entire trial a show. He wanted to turn it into a massive circus with himself as the ringleader, and use it to cudgel his own ideas. This was is goal and he was vocal on it.

Then, when every adult in the room pointed out this would be toxic to a Wisconsin Jury and would almost certainly sentence Rittenhouse to a guilty verdict, he -insisted on it anyway-.

Then, when promptly kicked to the curb on the recommendation of every other adult in the room, he began -actively sabotaging- the Rittenhouse trial by 'misplacing' evidence he had in his possession and requiring Rittenhouse's team to re-acquire it all on short notice.



Fuck. Robert. Barnes.
Isn't that what he seems to be trying to do here? Seeking to influence Nick to do something stupid and against his own interests in order to push Barnes novel theories of law? It's just in this case Barnes is a trusted loltuber colleague instead of being an attorney of record.

God forbid Barnes ends up on Nick's team. The jury might bring back Witch Burning.
 
Fair, but even Fatrick Tomlinson was always (relatively) humble in court, being only mildly argumentative and never getting himself into any actual trouble with courtroom antics. And he's lolcow #2 on this site (at least according to the most recent Julays).

Serial killers and future doctors & lawyers who've caused an accidental death-by-drive-by and dindu nuffin are crazy enough to pick the worst options in court, but for even the biggest egos, being in a courtroom face-to-face with someone who can order you to spend years in prison or turn you loose (dependent largely on the words you say and your general conduct) is astonishingly sobering for just about anyone else.

Yeah I don't think Nick would be dumb enough to get a loud mouth in court to the judge. But might he grudgingly accept a plea deal while still feeling that it's all bullshit, and fail his probation within a year? That seems highly plausible to me.

Yes. Yes it is. He has a clear pattern of behavior.

Yeah, that's more likely. I still temper my hopes for that possibility with the counter-argument that he is very selfish and narcissistic. He might be bright enough to conclude "I don't want to go to prison" and overpower the worst of his vices. It's not like there aren't others still available to him that won't land him in prison. Alcoholism, gambling, swinging, smoking, all sorts of shit.

Yes. The only way new precedents get set is by someone challenging existing laws. Nick is in a perfect position to challenge an existing law is how Barnes sees it. But I bet if you tell Barnes he has to do it pro bono AND compensate Nick $10m per year he serves if his case fails, Barnes would suddenly not be such a betting man.

All I could think about after reading the search warrant and the detective having to watch the streams: this super chat from coke stream

I really wish they'd post the info on if nick paid cash bond or not. I really don't think he's going to make it to August without a bond violation either way.

Generally bond violations are probable cause, not reasonable doubt, and if he's streaming at all he's going to get pinched. (I don't believe for a second he's going to stay off the stims, and even if his only bond condition is "remain law abiding" it's going to lead to a drug test for PC of being zooted on the online, which will lead to a failed drug test, which means you possessed drugs, which means you weren't law abiding).

Little known fact, it is actually theoretically possible to have a prescription for cocaine, how hard is nick going to pursue that. :story: (I believe it is functionally impossible to be proscribed an at home supply due to DEA shenanigans, but nick is the kind of narcissist that would try)
 
I have to say that the latest information obtained through the search warrant being released has actually restored some faith I have in humanity. Literally on the day of the arrest before we actually knew about it, I talked about in his thread about the reason why people from Nicks real life weren't intervening was because they just don't care and it is easier to not get involved in something like this.

I am glad to see that I turned out to be somewhat wrong. People actually did see something wrong was taking place and worked to fix it. Granted it took it reaching severe stages to do so, but still. I am happy that there is still some quality people out there in society. It gives me hope.

He will think to himself that he's being smarter about it this time, he knows how to handle it now, he won't get caught again. Also wouldn't probation likely require him to avoid alcohol as well? If not then yeah maybe he could just cope by leaning into that again. But if the probation requires that he stay stone cold sober I don't see him completing it, not if he's still in this defiant cope + seethe mindset.

One thing I wonder about is, even if Nicky boy wanted to score some coke right now, could he? This is an extremely public story. His previous dealers surely have cut all ties. How would he even go about getting a new dealer that somehow doesn't know who he is? Because I have to imagine any dealer who does wouldn't want any dealings with him. Maybe he can get it off the dark web somehow?

I'm sure a confidential information for the state police would be glad to accommodate him. :semperfidelis:
 
I think its the reverse they are using the guns to buffer the drug charges.

2nd Degree Drug charges is 25 grams or more (his 26 grams is close if they remove the packaging)
But with guns present that goes down to 10 grams

It gives them a buffer to nail his ass on the drugs.
It also gives them the potential of sentencing under Minn. Stat. § 609.11, subd. 5


any defendant convicted of an offense listed in subdivision 9 in which the defendant or an accomplice, at the time of the offense, had in possession or used, whether by brandishing, displaying, threatening with, or otherwise employing, a firearm, shall be committed to the commissioner of corrections for not less than three years, nor more than the maximum sentence provided by law. Any defendant convicted of a second or subsequent offense in which the defendant or an accomplice, at the time of the offense, had in possession or used a firearm shall be committed to the commissioner of corrections for not less than five years, nor more than the maximum sentence provided by law.​

Felony level violation of Section 152 (Balldo and Our Wife's drug charge) is listed in Minn. Stat. § 609.11, subd. 9.

It's leverage to get a plea deal done. The prosecutor can dangle a mandatory minimum of three years over their heads.

What's the over/under on him pulling an exaggerated Jimmy Swaggart-style "I have sinned" routine in the courtroom?
 
I'm still in the process of catching up. I know the kids are probably safe with relatives who can make sure they bathe, have clean clothes, are fed more than just spaghetti o's, and are able to take them to at least some of their activities. They're probably (hopefully) being bombarded with food from church ladies.

But I can't shake this strong instinct I have to run out and go buy them some treats and trinkets, knowing I'm like 12 hours away and can't do that. Even if I could do that it wouldn't fix it but it might make them feel better at least for a little while. The mama bear has awakened.

I cannot fathom intentionally becoming druggie bums, WANTING to become trailer park rejects. How could you subject your kids to this? How do you look at Trainspotting and say "Yeah I'd much prefer that to having a nice, clean, and stable home where I raise my beautiful children alongside my amazing wife."

You can tell this is one of the most thorough warrants ever written by this department because the cops watched the fucking streams. Unsurprisingly the cope from the Balldoguard seems to be doubling down on conspirasneeds.

I’m starting to realize that wiggers do the “dindu nuffin he was turn in’ his life around, gonna go to college to learn to take care of dem keeeeds” just as well as niggers.

They just don’t have quite as many opportunities to do so.
 
Fuck I forgot that one of them was a 6 year old. Imagine being 6 and being hungry because your mom and dad are doing coke and talking about theit sex lives to an internet audience.
The Barnes defense: "Your honor, the kids could have eaten the coke! Not only does it have calories, but it suppresses your appetite. THEY wanted to go hungry. I rest my case."
 
Holy balls! I now question his competancy! How dumb can you be? This is basic criminal law. This is proof he never set foot in a probable cause hearing. This is far more than most police get, past the crime happening in front of them or on video, for probable cause. Yes. Lots of people get arrested off someone's word. It's a question of credibility. Probable cause is the lowest standard in law, and the low standard does not violate the 4th Amendment.

Go back to tax law, Barnes, and have some basic Socratic wisdom. Stop talking about things you don't understand.

I'm glad I unsubscribed from you.
