The New Jersey man who has gotten national attention for opening his Bellmawr gym in defiance of the state’s shutdown orders is now facing some backlash after word circulated online that he also broke the law 13 years ago in an incident that cost a young man his life.
Ian A. Smith was a 20-year-old Stockton University student in 2007 when he drank 10 to 12 beers and in the morning ran a stop sign, killing Kevin Ade, 19, of Galloway Township, according to 6ABC reports at the time. He pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to five and a half years in prison, court records show.
Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym, addressed the incident in an Instagram video Wednesday, saying he was responding to “a lot of postings about a tragedy in the past that I was the cause of.”
Smith and partner Frank Trumbetti have reopened their gym for three days, arguing the state shutdown of gyms is unconstitutional and that they can take steps to keep members safe, like taking temperatures and limiting capacity. For each of the three days, they and patrons have been cited by police for violating Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order. A Gofundme pledging to pay their legal fees had raised over $40,000 by Wednesday afternoon.

But ol’ Teddie Kennedy was a saint, eh?
meanwhile joe biden didn’t rape tara reade
Difference between him and the left is they have slush fund to cover up things like this.
So now they have to destroy him?
To Hell with The Left. Vile snakes.
How can the media find out so much about this previously anonymous guy in just a day or two, but couldn’t ever find out information about Obama’s background over the years?????
In MA one Gym has reopened and the the left is actually questioning the owner claiming he couldn’t have possibly lost 100k as a result. Easy, bills keep coming wile monthly memberships don’t get paid due to being closed, no personal trainer or class revenue, etc.
They are vile, but also have no understanding of how a business is successful.
Please do not sully the memory of the Lyin’ of the Senate.
“”How can the media find out so much about this previously anonymous guy in just a day or two, but couldn’t ever find out information about Obama’s background over the years?????””
No doubt due to the ever popular social media - anything/everything will come back to bite someone UNLESS they are what was already pointed out - a Kennedy or a demonrat… Someone aware of the guy’s background posted to social media and the rest is up to the people who want to stir up trouble and it seems it worked!
The media has known about this ever since Ian Smith started going on Fox. They just held to now to make him look bad, including interviews with deceased’s family.
They find out everything and take down someone they don’t like within 48 hours.
The only exception to this rule is the Qannon larp. They can’t seem to figure out who that is.
The modern left doesn’t believe in forgiveness. In fact, leftists are vengeful and cruel to the core. They take their “bleeding heart” positions due to concerns regarding hegemony and revolution, not mercy. Wish more people understood that.
Since those on the Right are required to play nice, at least that's the lecture I get on this forum, we've lost. Trump is our final roadblock to hell, and the country is going to let it happen without a physical war with those so-called leaders who have led us down this path.
COVID-19 should have killed 95% of the planet. Earth needs a f*cking reboot.
Remember "Joe the Plumber," who dared to question the "annointed one?"
I'd be willing to bet that there's a hotline between the DNC and NSA/CIA deep-state operatives.

Yes, they are vile. They will do anything they can using information warfare to defame or undermine you to include trying to get you fired from your job or ostracized from your community.
Always support anyone the left tries to destroy both with your money and by shouting down the leftist who tries to defame someone.
Leftist “journalists” are all just a bunch of Karens and Chads. Just look at what msnbc mika tried to do today to President Trump. She is the ultimate Karen.

NJ.com is fvcking disgusting. They shut down all comments section and are the mouthpiece of the vile POS left in NJ. I recognize this a-hole crayon scribbler from other “stories”.
I remember the Lyin' of the Senate every year. I have July 18 as a recurring reminder on my Microsoft Outlook calendar. It's Mary Joe Joe Kopechne day (started in 1969).
