Close readers might have noticed that this blog has been under spam attack as of late.
The Spam started in support of Will Royster's ongoing and losing campaign.
Now it has devolved into nasty attacks against your (least) favorite local blogger.
I've always maintained that freedom of expression is the most important right we have in this nation so I'm gonna do my best to defend this open forum.
It's somewhat ironic that the same folks in support of a campaign attempting to thug its way into the State House is also attempting to hijack this forum from readers who have a lot of OTHER things to discuss besides Will Royster's egomaniacal vendetta and his paid cronies who are following him over the edge of reason.
Again, this bully tactic from Royster-loving cretins gives a real insight into the character of the few people who support him. The entire state of Missouri is lucky the guy lost in the primary and that John Rizzo won by a landslide in the General Election.
Still, this isn't the first series of SPAM attacks this blog has endured. Thankfully, I have better technology to fight off SPAM then even a few short months ago.
This post is just an attempt to document a SPAM attack that started in support of Will Royster and has now turned into a really nasty attack against TKC and an attempt to stifle the voices of this blog's readers.
I hate spam jerks like that .
ReplyDeleteGood for you Tony. Now can you please help me stop all the Viagra spam from my mailbox? Just how much Viagra can one man need? Must be my former girlfriends complaining about me in public again. Those bitches!
ReplyDeleteI don't always agree with you T, but I will agree that you have the right to say it.
ReplyDeleteTony, if the readers have a lot of other things to talk about, then why are the vast majority of your posts about Royster? This is your fault moron.
ReplyDeleteTony, remember when someone is trying to attack your site, you are obviously hitting quite a nerve with your growing readers. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHey-that chuck ain't me...
ReplyDeleteTony, if YOU didn't ENDLESSLY report the trivial crap about an obscure nothing legislative seat that no one cares about, maybe the rest of the crazies would go away.
ReplyDeleteThere would seem to be way more interesting and important issues and stories than the latest baloney from Rizzo, Royster, and Moreno.
in his stomach. That's about it.
ReplyDeleteTheresa Garza, Crystal Williams and anyone else that runs against a Rizzo because Henry paid him.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to report both sides because I need money from Henry
ReplyDeleteThank you Lali for being a "campaign worker" for Henry Rizzo. You deserved that $1000.
ReplyDeleteHey babes, it's Hank the Tank here. Look, I want to say my little flojo Tony is being done wrong. He shouldn't be eating spam to begin with. So what if he supports me and my baby boy? So what if he posts campaign ads for us without reporting them. His blog ain't worth a dime anyways. I tell him that all the time when he comes over for money. Hey speaking of that, Tony my little flojo, join me at Isle of Capri. Sylvia and I are going to be gambling all day on county dollars baby!!

The Kansas City Star - Friday, July 26, 1991
Author: JOE STEPHENS ; JOHN T. DAUNER , Staff Writers
A reputed underboss of the Kansas City organized crime family and five of his employees were arrested Thursday and charged with running an illegal gambling operation.
Peter J. Simone and his associates allegedly placed video poker and slot machines in more than two dozen bars and restaurants.
Gamblers fed coins and currency into the machines and collected winnings from bartenders, a federal indictment contends.
The men allegedly laundered $50,000 in gambling profits by mingling them with legitimate profits from their vending machine company, Be Amused Vending and Amusement Co., 1923 E. Truman Road.
Those arrested Thursday: Simone, 46, is chief executive officer of the vending company and a convicted mob bookmaker. His wife, Karla, is a co-owner of Be Amused.
The FBI told Congress three years ago that Simone was an underboss, or capo, in the Kansas City mob. Authorities believe Simone runs the organized crime outfit's day-to-day operations.
James J. Moretina , 42, is a Be Amused co-owner. He is a former business agent for Local 41 of the Teamsters Union and the son of convicted mob leader Charles Moretina .
John Termini, 51, and Charles Sellaro, 44, collect money from vending machines.
Ronald Parker, 33, repairs machines for Be Amused.
Samuel Cessor, 50, is a general laborer for the company.
Federal prosecutors charged each man with operating an illegal gambling business. All but Cessor also face charges of money laundering.
"This case is important because it strikes at a source of illegally generated cash which otherwise would evade detection," said Jean Paul Bradshaw II, U.S. attorney for western Missouri.
"This illegal cash is the lifeblood of criminal organizations. " The indictments strike at what investigators believe to be the mob's most lucrative operation, gambling. It also extends a string of blows against reputed mobsters and their associates.
A federal grand jury indicted reputed top mob boss Anthony "Tony Ripe" Civella and four associates in May on charges of defrauding pharmaceutical companies.
Reputed mob underboss William Cammisano Jr. remains in federal prison after being convicted in August 1989 of beating a girlfriend. She was scheduled to testify before a grand jury investigating a suspected mob hit.
His brother, Jerry Cammisano, joined him in prison May 16 for refusing to answer questions before a federal grand jury investigating Be Amused.
Some reputed mob associates - and Missouri state Rep. Henry C. Rizzo - were subpoenaed to testify earlier this week before a federal grand jury probing organized crime.
And Joseph Peter Simone, Peter Simone's son, is awaiting trial on charges that he and a college roommate ran a sports gambling ring for high school students in St. Louis.

ReplyDeleteHenry did you turn your back again?
Jimmy Moretina? Is he related to the John Moretina that married Sylvia Rizzo's sister, voted in JJ Rizzo's race but admitted to living in the northland on tv?
ReplyDeleteSounds like John Rizzo has some explaining to do.
I like Spam. It's good fried.
ReplyDeleteI used it with spaghetti and also on pizza.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's those darned Somalis.

HMMM. IF THAT'S TRUE, THEN THE ELECTION WAS A TIE?
I don't always agree with you Tony. But I just wanted to let you know I usually disagree with you.
ReplyDeleteThat $1000 to Lali should help this problem, no?
ReplyDelete"Everyone thinks their opinion matters. Don't argue with a nobody. A farmer doesn't bother telling a pig his breath smells like shit."
ReplyDelete."He's a politician. It's like being a hooker. You can't be one unless you can pretend to like people while you're fucking them."
ReplyDeleteTony, you came out of your mom looking like shit. She thought you were beautiful. Don't know what scared me most, your looks or her judgment.
ReplyDeleteTony... just delete all the duplicates. Not a first amendment issue. You're just cleaning up the poop on the ground.
ReplyDeletePoop isn't constitutionally protected speech. It's not a slippery slope unless it's wet poop. And if you don't get rid of it, I'll sue if I slip and fall on it.
Besides, teach 'im a lesson. Don't post anything about Royster until next election. Of all the stories you choose to ignore, that's a good one.
Radioman again shows how out of touch he is, not realizing that this is a political attack on a writer who is shining lights where many don't want the light shone.
ReplyDeleteA gossip rag not printing gossip, that would be like Fox news telling the truth.
Good post, Tony. It is a politically motivated, cowardly, anonymous assault. Noted.
ReplyDeleteTony is the one person who has a grip on the inside scoops and reality in general in JaCo, plus he's a very bright writer. That's why we all come here to read and blog.
ReplyDeleteRadioman just wishes he was Tony.
Radioman is a good guy, I'm surprised how much I agree with him this year.
ReplyDeleteChris has a little dinky, he should get a grip and lighten up.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to document.
Then you'll have a reminder when the little dinky holder comes around during the next election with faux news about some other dinky holder who is stupid enough to pay him.
Where's Jim Sullivan when you really need him?
ReplyDeleteWow, Tony - how can you complain about people trashing your trash?
ReplyDeleteSi senor...i like dee fried spam con refried frijitos on de tortilla harina... ees very good!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no First Amendment issue on a private blog. Delete anything you fucking want to, dipshit.
