Shocking: #FreeKate’s Father Conspires to Shut Down This Blog: ‘Media Blackout’

Posted on | August 22, 2013 | 164 Comments

Steven Hunt, arrested for fraud, April 22, 2012

“Never tell a lie, nor take what is not your own, nor sue anybody for slander, assault and battery. Always settle them cases yourself.”
— Andrew Jackson, recalling his mother’s advice

Every decent, law-abiding citizen of Indian River County despises the Hunt family, a vile pack of trashy scum who have done everything possible to bring shame and dishonor upon their community.

And it has now come to my attention that several weeks ago, when the facts of the Kaitlyn Hunt case were just beginning to destroy the dishonest “Free Kate” myth her parents had created with their hateful lies, Steven Hunt conspired with one of their Facebook group administrators to “shut down” this blog:

So the admin “Amber” was attempting to suppress awareness of the site, SupportHonesty.net, which compiles the authentic facts about the Kaitlyn Hunt case. Amber identified me as “the biggest supporter” of SupportHonesty.net. Steven Hunt then called me a “DOUCHE,” and Amber said:

“Yeah well im trying to get his server kicked off
the internet and cause him to go in a media blackout.
thats if anon agrees with our opinion of him.”

In other words, Amber was soliciting members of the computer-hacking conspiracy “Anonymous” — which had originally rallied to the “Free Kate” banner — to help shut down my blog. Amber boasted of her influence within Anonymous. While those online anarchists are crazy, however, most of them are not stupid and, as the facts about Kaitlyn Hunt’s case emerged, support among the “Anons” quickly eroded.

You see the lawless tactics that Kaitlyn Hunt’s lawless supporters endorsed in their effort to suppress the truth. As the entire purpose of the “Free Kate” movement was to apply political pressure to Florida law enforcement — to smear the victim’s family and falsely accuse prosecutors of discriminatory intent — it is possible that these messages might be interpreted as part of a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

But I am just a journalist, not a lawyer.

“Brass-knuckles reputation management” usually fails, because the truth eventually is known, and if Steven Hunt has not researched the “Streisand Effect,” he should be advised that he has been dealing with its consequences for about three months now.

Honest people hate a liar, and when the liar displays himself as a bully who thinks he can intimidate people into silence . . .

Well, how’s that plan working out for ya so far, Steve?

Your criminal pervert daughter is now in jail, charged with a new felony, the evidence of which the judge called “overwhelming.” Kaitlyn’s lawyer seems to be having a nervous breakdown, and people who have long been silent are now speaking out.

As bad as that was, Booking #2012-00001721 has now been exposed as having sought to deprive me of my professional livelihood, and therefore the dreaded War Oath of Clan Cameron has been sworn.


 

Henceforth, you shall regret having forfeited my mercy. Selah.

 

 

UPDATE: Linked by Donald Douglas at American Power — thanks! Some may be surprised (and I’m sure that Steven Hunt will be shocked to learn) that I had hitherto been merciful. But when I learned of Hunt’s purposes to destroy my livelihood and deprive my wife and children of my support, all claim to mercy expired, which is the metaphorical meaning of the Gaelic oath: Steven Hunt, by intending to destroy me, has invited destruction upon himself, and if anyone would claim to be my friend, I implore their assistance in this crisis.

UPDATE II: The important thing to understand is that the “Free Kate” movement began as a campaign of hateful vengeance against the parents of the 14-year-old girl Kaitlyn Hunt molested. This is the only plausible reason why Kaitlyn’s mother, Kelley Hunt Smith named the victim’s parents nine times in her May 17 Facebook post, in order to demonize them and incite harassment against them.

This vindictive purpose was exposed again Wednesday, when Kaitlyn Hunt’s lawyer Julia Graves issued a statement accusing the victim’s family of abuse, knowing this would incite hatred by readers of such publications as South Florida Gay News:

Younger Girl in Kaitlyn Hunt
Case Had ‘Bible Thrown At Her’
The day after Kaitlyn Hunt, 19, had her bond revoked and sent to jail to await trial, her attorney, Julia Graves, released a statement that hit back hard against the prosecution making some outrageous claims.
In the statement she says the younger girl, known as C.S. has been “taken to a church that labels being gay a sin, has the Bible thrown at her, all of her thing[s] in her room boxed up and taken from her, is apparently hit by her parents, and clearly yelled at for lying by her father in the presence of Detective Shepherd at the school in a subsequent interview.” . . .

Again: The younger girl was 14, Kaitlyn was 18 and, even after Kaitlyn was arrested in February, she would not obey a court order to stay away from the minor, secretly arranging for continued “intimate contact” and sending the girl “lewd” photos and videos. Still, the lawyer that Steven Hunt hired to represent his criminal pervert daughter must earn her fee by blaming the younger girl’s parents.

It would be a sin to let people like the Hunts get away with this.

UPDATE III: Headline at the Lonely Conservative:

Father Of Pedophile Tries To Shut Down Critical Website

The word “pedophile” is tendentious, pejorative and inflammatory.

And also quite possibly accurate.

UPDATE IV: Welcome, Instapundit readers!

UPDATE V: In case anyone has forgotten, Steve Hunt lost his police job for trying to intimidate a crime victim.




 

UPDATE VI: More links:

Teen Angel Goes To Jail,
#FreeKate Supporters Hardest Hit
— That Mr. G Guy

So Some Numbskull is Trying to Get
Stacy McCain’s Blog Shut Down?
— Bryan Preston, PJ Tatler

Please, try to intimidate me some more, Mr. Hunt.

UPDATE VII: Feminist and sex abuse survivor S.J. Reidhead:

There is no sentence strong enough for Kate Hunt to serve that will restore what she has destroyed. . . .
This is what Kate Hunt and her parents have done to her victim. She is literally ruined, inside her soul. The only way she will ever be able to piece together what she once was is through a higher power. I found peace through Christ.

Millstone, neck, some assembly required. Becca J. Lower also sees this as fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Here’s the latest news:

Local Teen Says Kaitlyn Hunt Was
‘Bully … Calling Me an Ugly Dyke’”

And that’s just my first post of the day. Pete Da Tech Guy says Steve Hunt made “a miscalculation of epic proportions.”

As usual, Pete is correct.

UPDATE VIII: “All is proceeding as I have forseen,” Ed.

UPDATE IX: Regular Right Guy:

One can only imagine the confusion the victim must be experiencing in having to choose between doing the right thing and her affection for the woman who seduced her at one of the most vulnerable times of any child’s life.

    Robert Mccain I have been reading your blog for the past couple months and I have to say you really know your stuff. As a sebastian river high school alum I am still friends with former friends of Kaitlyn hunt. Many of her former friends including one of her best friends frequently told her to stay away and even warned her of the consequences but she didnt listen to even her friends. I am here to say that i support your claim that the indian river county community is embaressed by the hunts behavior. I am in college now bit everytime I go home I get the satisfaction of hearing how ignorant and immature kaitlyn hunt is.

    It is nothing new that miscreants despise the light being shined upon them, and attempting to silence the criticism through intimidation or force is a tactic born long ago.

    When they attempt to shut down speech in America, it’s not just the speaker who is threatened and not just others who may wish to speak, it is the very existence of America itself. Freedom of speech, religion, and assembly are in the 1st Amendment for a reason: without these, the carefully crafted structure of responsibilities and checks and balances mean absolutely nothing.

    Now, you may think of McCain as a varmint, a brute who runs down Bambi for kicks, a wearer of a fedora stained with sweat and stale beer (at least, that’s what we hope those stains are), a reporter given to intemperate statements and erratic judgment, but when they try to shut him up his fight is made yours – and mine.

    Tell us what we can do, sir.

    It boggles the mind to think Mr. Hunt has not violated laws against hindering prosecution (and clearly his wife has if she urged a witness to lie as alleged). Maybe the whole family needs to do some time in Florida’s fine rehabilitation facilities.

    Thanking you for the compliments — and ignoring some of the rest — my hunch is that investigations of both Kelley and Steve are under way. Phone records, e-mail communications and financial records have probably been subpoenaed. I suspect that DFCS is also making inquiries.

    If my hunch is correct, this is being done quietly, because authorities do not wish to create the impression that they are persecuting these people. Yet state and local officials would be negligent in their duties if they did not see what so many other people have seen, and act accordingly.

    Heh. The trailer:

    Roll montage of gritty, fedora-topped reporter walking the grimy streets of West Melbourne. Tenor sax, piano, and for some reason a banjo. Narration begins after a cigarette is lit.

    Trucks. Lots of pickup trucks and classic cars poorly restored, roll by as the sound of sprinklers and cicadas fills the evening air.

    Sand. Sand on shoes. Not nice, beach sand, but that dark, dry, hot kind that blows across crumbling asphalt and concrete.

    This ain’t the Platinum Coast. It’s the gateway to the world of airboats, cane pole fishermen, and the trail to the Magic Kingdom, where dreams come true–if they conform to the marketing plan.

    The hippies never fared well here. But this is Florida, and old dreams die hard. And this is the man who chronicled the fall.
