State of Minnesota v. Nicholas Rekieta, Kayla Rekieta, April Imholte

[Chirping Smoke Detector]

Interesting. They likely either got it from the Onion guy, or more likely got it from the same person who leaked it to the Onion. This is not supposed to be viewed by the public.

The screenshots of the Onion podcast reading through it were documented in Nick's thread and then joined together to make it readable in one image.

 

[gang weeder]

I demeaned the cops and religious fundamentalists. The same thing every kiwifag has done on various occasions when it suited the milk. It is still my opinion that a mandated reporter with knowledge of suspected neglect who wanted the best for the kids would take it to CPS and not the police.

Problem being mandatory reporters in this case likely know Nicky well enough to know he is defiant, doesn't believe he has a problem, and won't change without being whacked upside the head VERY hard, if even then. This means the best course of action would be to get the kids out of the drug den sooner rather than later, and that means going straight to the cops. CPS would be if you weren't entirely sure what you were dealing with or if you thought the person might not be totally hopeless.

You could obviously make the claim that CPS would've been the better call if, for instance, the cops busted Nick's door down and found nothing except liquor and a dirty house. But instead the results of the search warrant prove that yes the police was the right way to go.

Nick is sleeping in the bed he made, but I am not going to cheer on the destruction of his family. Those kids deserve better. They deserve to live with their sober, loving parents and that is my hope for an outcome.

The problem is that Nick is still coping and clearly is not trying to become either sober or loving. If he showed some accountability your narrative might make a bit more sense. But if he remains stubborn and retarded he deserves to be smacked around by the state for it. Even then, I don't see how you are making the churchgoers out to be bad guys. Nick had his side hoe living in the house with an ounce of coke. The bad mean evil incel prude church people did what they could to put a stop to it, which was obviously the correct course of action in hindsight. It would be much more contemptible for them to see what was going on and just let it continue because "muh cops bad."

I know, but I doubt that is Nate’s source. The one image had multiple screen cursors on it, and it does not appear in Nate’s version (though I only skimmed it)

It's mine, you can check the cursors (and the black bars on the side, I tried to line them up, but they don't always do so perfectly.) compared to this post:

Here it is, stitched together. Looks like there's a bit more at the bottom that's not shown, though.

However, I'm not sure what happened for it to get compressed that much worse.

 

[Henri Barbusse]

"Scandinavian prudes" has been a Nick meme for months ever since he complained about them being at his church. His pastor has a Scandinavian last name. Four people came to the pastor. That looks like the pastor tried to intervene with Nick first and only reported it when things escalated to the level that four people noticed it. The escalation probably happened once the nanny was gone, so no laundry was being done. And then Aaron went as well, so no able to open a can was left in the house.

Anyway, I hope it's Nick or Nick's defense leaking the docs hoping it makes him look better. (Look, the church was conspiring against me with my evil sister in law!)

 

[talk talk talk]

The whole "report to CPS, not the sheriff" thing is a red herring put out by Noseguards who haven't looked at the relevant state statute. Mandatory reporters report to whoever is proper and available.

It's mine,

They used your image? Interesting. So only Onion (and the state) has (have) the original doc.

 

[Henri Barbusse]

Instead of pastor reports Nick to the sheriff who reports him to the CPS, we could have had pastor reports Nick to the CPS who report him to the sheriff. Surely, it would make a huge difference for Nick's case.

 

[Blarmed&Dangerous]

Let's pretend for a moment that all four people who talked to the pastor were lying - or hell, that the pastor was lying period - for reasons unknown. Let us also assume Aaron was lying because he's mad about being the snack-cuck.

No one - not Aaron, not the pastor, not anyone in the congregation, not even that dang kiwifarms - made the kid ask the cop for clean clothes.

No one put track marks on Nick's arms.

And no one made Nick read "Anime Sucks, Cope and Sneed" 17 times in a row while struggling to stay conscious.

There is no way if the situation were reversed that they wouldn't argue the opposite. As others have pointed out, CPS will get involved on lower standards of evidence and have just as much power as the police, in many cases. They would say the case is about ADULT drug use, so why call CPS? It's a nonsensical argument.

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

This entire thing was so completely avoidable. What a horror story.

 

[Pelican Bones]

Regarding bail. "They" refers to Nick and his wife:
View attachment 6033278

The bail thing is interesting to me.

What normally happens with bail is you go to a bail bondsman, pay him 10% of the bail (it is his fee, you will never get it back). You will also have to put up collateral to cover the other 90% in case you flee. The bondsman determines what he will accept for collateral.

Nick won't have $100k laying around to post bail himself, but anyone could go to a bail bondsman w/money & collateral and post bonds for him. This obviously has not happened. It seems unlikely family is willing to stick their neck out for him.

Nick might have $10k in cash he could scrape together, but he might not have enough collateral.

Tl;dr Money problems and family isn't helping get Nick out on unconditional bond.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

Then why did you complicate your thesis by introducing the "kids were manipulated" theory, other than airing your grievances of growing up in a church?

Because mommy and daddy made him go to church athletics night instead of playing vidya! Literal religious trauma!

I can't believe it's not Android Raptor!

 

[Low IQ Doctor]

So Nick tries to save April. Kayla attempts to fuck her over by calling her a live-in nanny.

[Xarpho's Return]

This entire thing was so completely avoidable. What a horror story.

Yeah, it is.

Whether you believe that Nick was a conman and a grifter from day one, or a fallen hero whose descent into evil is worthy of a film, it's nothing less than a tragedy.

 

[Scout Trooper]

I posted the jail channel traffic in the other thread but was able to add a call on the MSP channel.



23 May 2024 0950 - 0959 local
MSP St. Cloud area dispatch channel
129 (Scandinavian prude Trooper Monson) advising en route to Kandiyohi County Jail with male and then advises he has arrived at the jail

23 May 2024 0950 local
Kandiyohi County Law Enforcement Dispatch, channel 2 (Jail)
3336 and 129 are en route to jail with a male and female on local charges and are 10 minutes away.
(Records show April and Nick's jail intake times as 1003 and 1008, respectively)

23 May 2024 1109 local
Kandiyohi County Law Enforcement Dispatch, channel 2 (Jail)
Unit is requesting help with a female in the sally port at the jail. Radio traffic after this advises that a unit is en route to the jail with an assault and battery subject.
(Records show Kayla's jail intake at 1130 and at 1140 Ibarra Lopez, Wilfrido is checked in with domestic assault charges)

Still working on getting a decrypted copy of the tactical/operations channel traffic where they would have been coordinating the traffic stop and the breach/search.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Legal Mindset just credited the kiwi farms for getting the warrant. He's also saying that he has heard people have submitted evidence that could lead to charges against Aaron and April.

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

Yeah, it is.

Whether you believe that Nick was a conman and a grifter from day one, or a fallen hero whose descent into evil is worthy of a film, it's nothing less than a tragedy.

I'm leaning more towards the former.

There was that clip when he was talking about Null. Something like 'Oh I love him, he's my friend, I have nothing but good things to say about him but he's so stupid, he's dumb, he's a moron, he can't read social cues, he needs me to advice him, he's great, he's just dumb, he's incapable, I could help him', if he just let me'.

Or something along those lines.

Also there was a moment when he was like 'I'd give my life to defend the kiwi farms'. So he'd give his life if he had to in order to defend the farms and free speech and what not but would he put down the bottle?

But when the Farms were only available on Tor and was getting ddosed all the time he featured Null on his stream, letting Null in some small way defend himself.

I think he's been charismatic all his life, but now the drugs have taken that from him. I don't think he realizes just how socially clumsy he's become. He just can't bullshit like he used to.

Yeah it's a tragedy. Full on tragic flaw, everything. I don't think he'll redeem himself but it'd be nice to be proven wrong.

And no one made Nick read "Anime Sucks, Cope and Sneed" 17 times in a row while struggling to stay conscious.

I don't know if I'd go that far.

The reason why the cops were there to even talk to the kids was because of the warrant, which had its origins in the priest and, by proxy, the four concerned parishioners.

If it was all lies, them the police would have had no basis to even start looking. Fruit of the poisoned tree.

Maybe an anonymous tip could've lead the detective to watching Nick's drug streams, but I don't know if those themselves would be probable cause.

I guess that could an interesting thought experiment. If the reason for probable cause were later found to be lies, but the warrant found evidence of crimes after the fact, how would that shake out.

 

[Truly Rural]

Here is my question. Cops usually note every injury on a suspect they are detaining if for no other reason to protect themselves from allegations of brutality. How come Nick's black eye was not mentioned but "track marks" on his arms were? Seems deliberately left out. I am guessing it's because they didn't want to incriminate each other by saying his wife hit him because Rekieta doesn't want to charge Kayla with the assault.

However even if that is the case wouldn't cops still take note of that injury? This has been picking at my brain for a while.
