Court Unanimously Rules Against Sheriff Tom Knight
...and Knight is ordered to reinstate security checkpoints in the Sarasota Clerk of Court Building

12-28-2017, 12:57 AM #3UnregisteredGuestSteube argued that [the Sarasota Clerk of Court building] is just a government building and it is not a “gun free zone.”
Imagine this scenario:
- Knight starts allowing CCW guns into all court buildings where court is not in session, but those without CCW permits are disarmed before being allowed to enter the building.
- A woman goes to the clerk of court to file for a restraining order (it's not issued yet). She is disarmed before entering the building because she doesn't have a CCW permit.
- However, her husband has a CCW permit and deputies allow him to bring his gun into the clerk of court building.
- The armed husband shoots and kills his unarmed wife inside the clerk of court building.
- Guess what? The Sarasota Sheriff's Office is now liable for her death because we disarmed her, but we did not disarm him.

We have never allowed weapons into the Clerk of Court building, even from CCW permit holders. That's why Senator Steube was not allowed to bring his weapons into the building. The administrative order commands us to do what we have always done, which is to prohibit entry of all weapons. If the "Knight and Hoffman duo" order us to allow CCW guns into the facility, then it will be a brand new thing. I seriously doubt that the chief judge is going to go along with it.

- Colonel Kurt Hoffman is going to have Major Jeff Bell tell Chief Judge Charles Williams that we will be allowing CCW's into the Sarasota Clerk of Court Building.
- Interestingly, Mr. Tom Knight will NOT be present at the meeting that Hoffman is asking the chief judge to attend. Knight is a contemptuous and condescending coward.

We can only hope that the Chief Judge issues subpoena to knightmare for a hearing on security and when he refuses to show the judge can then issue a FTA warrant. Gosh I would love to be the one to perp walk that SOB

Knight may not do a perp walk, but he continues to lose credibility among the public because of his continuous (exposed) shenanigans. Look at how he scammed people with the "Sheriff's Activities League of Sarasota" where only 39% of the money went to the kids and the rest went to pay salaries. Nuts. Knight is a conman.

No argument here. He is a master manipulator. That's exactly what he idealized about Adolf Hitler e.g. his ability to manipulate people, both in-person and most especially through the media.
Here is an honest question:
Why is Knight still refusing to personally meet with the chief judge to "work things out"?

During the first scheduled meeting between Knight and the judge (several months ago), Knight backed out of the meeting at the last second. The judge showed up for the meeting and was waiting in the lobby for Knight to appear – but Knight never appeared. Instead, Knight told his secretary to tell the judge that he was at a funeral and could not make it to the meeting. That’s hogwash because funerals are planned in advance (and not at the last second). Knight disrespected and crapped on the judge. Knight treated the judge like a common SSO employee i.e. as being politically, legally and financially expendable. For this second upcoming meeting, Hoffman is asking the judge to meet with Major Jeff Bell “and maybe myself” – but not with Knight.
