How a RPF forum member's stepson with autism was shot and killed at school by a cop.

[Pericles]

My nephew is under the autism spectrum as well. Something has to be done with these trigger happy psycho cops! I'm not saying it's all cops but this is becoming an epidemic. What is to be done????

This happens because the police chief is OK with it. The PC answer is that the chief answers to somebody - a mayor, a city council, which means police policies can be made into an election issue. When the chief works for a non elected city manager, then the police have that degree of insulation from political activists that they like. Much harder to influence conduct of the police in that case.

The non PC answer is to return fire. That will ultimately mean a mini-Alamo or two or three, but they will eventually get the message.

Not buying the prosecutor or the cops story AT ALL!

http://www.zimbio.com/Officer+Marcus+Rhodes/articles/eKGCDyM5TOb/Prosecutor+SC+teen+hoped+die+cop+attack

Here are some of the reported facts that seem to be really strange.

1.)

The teen yelled "Just shoot me!" more than once as he stabbed the officer seven times, prosecutor Greg Hembree said Thursday.

Stabbed him in the back 7 SEVEN times? With a bayonet? Also, WHO heard the kid yelling "just shoot me"? Apparently witnesses heard the shouting and even walked in to see the stabbing taking place.

According to witness accounts, teachers heard shouting in the office and when they entered, they saw Varinecz stabbing the officer with a large knife. He was shot moments later.

So the entire stabbing and shooting were apparently witnessed.

2.)

The veteran officer tried to stop the October 16 attack by shooting the student in the leg three times, Hembree said. But when that didn't work

Excuse me, you are being stabbed in the back, how do you shoot someone in the leg that is stabbing you in the back? 3 THREE times!? And how does shooting someone 3 THREE TIMES! Not work? It didn't work.. Sheesh, I'd like to hear what the teachers who apparently saw this have to say about that.

3.)

The day he died, he carried a note in his pocket saying where to find the file.

What? He carried a note in his pocket saying where to find the file? What exactly did this note saying where to find the file say? Was the note in his hand writing? Where was the file eventually found?

4.)

Once the teen got to Rhodes' office, he asked the officer to close the door. The officer first refused, but finally agreed after Varinecz demanded it repeatedly, investigators said.

So the kid asked the cop to shut the door. Did any of the teachers hear this? Why did the officer refuse to close the door the first time the kid asked? Is it policy to close the door with a kid in the room, or is it policy to keep the door open at all times? If it is policy to keep the door open when it is only a kid and an adult, why did the cop "finally agree"?

5.)

Varinecz then told Rhodes there was a spider on the wall behind him, insisting several times that the officer look. When Rhodes turned his back, Varinecz attacked, Hembree said.

Ok, this is the most annoying part. It sounds completely fake. I mean, did the cop forget to tell us that the kid also demanded and insisted multiple times for the cop to pull his finger? Get fucking real. So the kid comes in and steps to the side of the door. Shut the door. No. SHUT the door. No. SHUT the DOOR! Ok fine. Turn around, there is a spider on the wall. No. TURN AROUND, there is a spider on the wall. No. TURN AROUND, THERE IS A SPIDER ON THE WALL! Ok. Stab Stab Stab Stab Stab Stab Stab. Bang Bang Bang. Bang Bang.

Bullshit story, copper. Bullshit, BULLSHIT!

 

[Lucille]

My deepest sympathies to our RPF family for the tragic loss of their son whose life was cut so unnecessarily short. I'll be praying for you all, and for justice to be done.

 

[Vessol]

Wow..just wow..

 

[phill4paul]

I always find it hard to find the words offering condolences in these situations. Words somehow seem to hollow. I hope that someday there is justice for this. I hope that one day the pain the parents feel will lesson in degrees such that only the good thoughts are remembered. Damn.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

I'm sorry for the loss and hope for comfort for your wife (the person that PM'ed this news to AF). I too lost a daughter ~10 years ago to suicide. It doesn't go away, you just get used to it and try not to think about it. But there are times, like now, that it comes back. I hope that the truth comes out so that maybe the mother can find some finality to it.

 

[Captain Shays]

Guys, fellow members, brothers and sisters in this fight for freedom justice, and truth, in all fairness to AF I think that I should just come out with it. It was my step son who was Trevor Varinecz the young star child who was shot and killed at school.
I want to thank AF for posting this and for keeping my identity a secret this long. I and my wife also want to thank every one of you for your heart felt words of comfort.

For what it's worth, there is NO WAY that I will EVER believe until my last breath on this planet that Trevor wanted to die and committed "suicide by cop". Likewise, I will NEVER believe that cop's story. It didn't pass the smell test with me in that first hour and after three years it still doesn't.
I must commend all of you for your insights, your prescience and your fine anaylsis.

Deepest sympathies. Deeper than I can find words to express. I feel truly heartsick for your loss.

Having read the linked news reports, I agree with you that the entire thing stinks of a cover up. For me, the absolute clincher was the description given in the Zimbio article:

The veteran officer tried to stop the October 16 attack by shooting the student in the leg three times, Hembree said. But when that didn't work, Rhodes killed the teen by firing two shots into his abdomen and chest.

Shot three times in the leg and it didn't work? Didn't work?? Bullshit. I don't know what caliber handgun this lunatic was using, but the most common cop sidearms are the 9mm followed by .40 S&W. Even a tertiary single shot with a round like that would be disabling. But three? Even if it was a damn .22 short, getting shot three times in the leg should be enough to allow a Big Tuff Kop to disarm a kid waving a bayonet.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. I have no idea how you and your wife have been able to stand this.


Have you considered filing a wrongful death lawsuit? That might at least give you a chance to go through the legal process of "discovery" and see what these jerks have been hiding from public view.

Again, my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences.

I was waiting for this, and will not hypothesize/comment about what happened ... Prayers to you and your family.

Dad wires up autistic son, 10, to expose 'bullying' by teaching staff

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2...c-son-10-to-expose-bullying-by-teaching-staff

Wonder how common this is in schools?

 

[TheTexan]

This cop is a perv. Check it out. Why would he shoot the kid? He wanted him silenced for some reason. The only viable reason is that he tried to molest him and the young man denied access and the cop shot him to quell the only witness to his attempted molestation. Why is this guy a school cop? Where did he come from? What is his background prior? The door was closed to hide indiscretions. The extra bullets were to make sure there was no surviving witness to the attempted molestation. Nothing else makes sense.

Most likely.

When I was in elementary school, we had a course on the Eskimos. For my project, I made a whale spear and brought it to school. No one was injured, BTW.

Let everybody off easy , I see ..

Hi Kluge,

Did you watch that entire video? I did. If you did then you must agree it was totally disgusting. Incidentially that school is right around the block from where I grew up in Cherry Hill. It doesn't surprise me one bit that the teacher and the aid are still working in the Cherry Hill school district.
Thanks for posting it. I live around here and never heard about that.

Leave it up to the Rev!!! THAT is exactly what my initial thoughts were and I still harbor them. I did a little checking and Rhodes isn't the pristine boy scout the media, his fellow cops and the school district have made him out to be. I didn't come up with any molestation but he was a real jerk off according to some of the other kids I spoke to at Trevor's funeral and afterward. He has also been let go from a couple of other jobs.

 

[bolil]

Can we start getting names of these pigs? Seriously would like to write him some mail.

 

[Pericles]

Other possibility is itinerant cop with 'roid rage issue. He sees the bayonet and freaks out. After each 'roid rage issue, he ends up moving on somewhere else before his LE certification gets pulled.

 

[Kylie]

Can someone explain to my why the hell we need a "resource" officer in any friggin school anyway?

If your school is too dangerous to be in without an officer on duty, then you should not be in the career of schooling.

This whole thing makes no sense.

I am so terribly sorry for this. There is nothing I can say to make it better, but if I can do something, please let me know. Godspeed to your son(I know you said step-son, but that really doesn't matter when it comes down to it) and may you and his Mother find justice, then peace for Trevor.
