Trump flotilla leader to be charged with felony, his lawyer says
The Palm Beach Post ^ | 8/31/20 | John Pacenti

Posted on 08/31/2020 11:07:18 PM PDT by Spirit of Liberty

Carlos Gavidia, who earned national attention for his "Trumptilla" boat parades, is expected to be charged with sending a threatening text, a felony, to a resident of his former Jupiter country club community after they clashed over politics, his attorney told The Palm Beach Post on Monday.

Gavidia will surrender at the Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday morning, said attorney Stuart Kaplan.

The criminal charge would come just days after Gavidia attended President Trump’s Republican National Convention speech on the White House lawn Thursday night.

Gavidia organized the boat parades with his vessel as the centerpiece. He renamed his 42-foot Yamaha Invincible boat “Trump” and wrapped it with a banner containing the president's name adorned with an eagle and stars.

No, this idiot did that himself when he sent that text

Don’t threaten anyone, especially through text/email/mail/in person/etc, it is dumb, pointless, and will be used against you in the court of law.

Uhh no. Read the article. The Trump supporter did it to himself. It is extraordinarily dumb to send a written threat. We have dumb people on our side, too.

Go join them if you think that is how your should behave.

However, this dope sent threatening texts to his neighbor, it is really dumb to “write down” your threats, anything that happened to that guy would be on him.

Lets live life smart and out of the courts.

You just don't process information very well. [Thanks for calling me an idiot on another thread.]

The person you are blabbering at is not concerned with a threatening email. He is pointing out that in these perilous times, it is not wise to send threatening emails since the left will drag you into court.

Not a threat to do bodily harm or kill the guy, IMO. He says, “... I’m coming after you. I’m going to ruin your life..” If he kills the guy, the guy wouldn’t have a life to ruin.

Hi Deplorable,

I had Jo call me an idiot on another thread for a similar problem recently.

Just remember to type slow when you try to talk to this one.

““I’m like, ‘you are (expletive) with the wrong guy. How dare you (expletive) flip me off and start harassing me and my wife at dinner. I’m coming after you. I’m going to ruin your life,” Gavidia said. “

A felony? Ridiculous!

Hmm... sounds like he wouldn’t have faced any worse charges just smacking this guy right in the kisser, which would have been much more satisfying as well!

The moral of the story don’t waste time emailing when you can say it then and there with your fists.

Back in the old days real men got up, dusted off and had a few beers after the fight.

exactly, all his lawyers have to say is that he meant it not in the sense of bodily harm, that he would pursue legal means to make the guy’s life miserable- This was way over charged- a good lawyer will get him off likely- unless there is more to the story?

Here’s his words:

“He is trying to take it like I said I was going to kill him. I was going to post and expose him for the racist that he is and the political taunting he is doing to me.”

They are overcharging him- no charges shoudl have been filed if this is all he said-

Of course, but he’s a Trump support snd he’s going to be the scapegoat.

They sure are big on justice when it’s not a liberal/dem.

Just like dem politician can get away with literal murder *cough* Kennedy *cough*, if you are the right race or political persuasion, you are scot free.

If not, it’s off to the gulag with you comrade.

I like this guy.

Not Guilty!

However, that does not look like a 42 foot boat to me.

If that’s the legal threshold for a felony, then every leftist on Twitter merits immediate prosecution.
