‘Enough is enough’
Abdalla: Hackers are attacking the innocent
January 5, 2013
By DAVE GOSSETT - Staff writer ([e-mail]) , The Herald-Star

STEUBENVILLE - A visibly angry Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said Friday night his department and other agencies are now investigating an unofficial Anonymous member who has claimed credit for last week's protest rally and a second rally scheduled to be held at noon today on Market Street.

"Anonymous can say whatever they want to say about me. But when you attack innocent people and young children, I am coming after you," Abdalla declared during a Friday evening press conference in his office.

"We have a good idea who this Anonymous person is. I know where he lives. I know his mother's name, his father's name and his brother's name. This is not the real Anonymous. Enough is enough. You had your fun. People will believe what they want to believe. But I credit the Steubenville Police Department for the job they did. They had the investigation into this incident wrapped up in four or five days after the rape was reported to them in August," continued Abdalla.

Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison announced late Friday afternoon the city will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. today to discuss the focus on the city regarding the rape investigation.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

1. You're kind of fucking stupid, aren't you, sherrif?

[HangOnKids]

34. It's Early But POST Of The Fucking Year!

[Pachamama]

98. The bar for stupidest comment of year has been set by Sheriff Abdalla....

Its good to have the bar set really high....

[KansDem]

35. He's the "Stupidville Sheriff."

Yeah, he "knows where he lives"...

What an ass.

[darkangel218]

40. Yah he "knows where he lives"

Notice the "mafia" gold ring on his pinky?

[alphafemale]

50. I ran into him when I was a teen and he tried that hard ass shit on me

I and my friends weren't doing anything he just decided to be a hardass.

He said to me, "I know your dad."

I said "If you really knew my dad? You would know he hates you passionately."

Yes. He is a part of la costra nostra so far as I can tell.

Fred Abdulla is a very, very corrupt man.

[Drahthaardogs]

69. Really? I knew guys in the mafia back in my youth.

None of them wore gold rings on their pinky. So why don't you stop the Italian stereotypes? Is it really necessary? He has black curly hair too, he must be one of those Sicilian types with that Arab blood in their veins huh? He also has a swarmy complexion. Yes, yes, this is definitely Cosa Nostra shit right here.

Turn the fucking Sopranos off and stop your racists stereotyping please. Oh, and the people on Jersey Shore, most of them are not Italian-Americans anyway. They just want to be.

[unblock]

76. "swarthy"

[darkangel218]

90. lol!! nt

[Drahthaardogs]

101. It takes a special kind of hypocrite to use Italian slurs

while yammering about the rape of women. Really funny huh?

[darkangel218]

106. The subject isnt funny a bit.

The reply to my post was though. Is mafia same thing with Italian? If it is, my bad, I didn't know.

I have no respect for mafioso type of losers, such as this sheriff. So too bad. Btw, youre ignored, so don't bother replying.

[Drahthaardogs]

108. Oh, you did not realize mafioso=Italian slur

Then you use it again, saying you have no tolerance for "those types"? Whatever, you're a racists. Glad I am on ignore;

[In_The_Wind]

46. I could not have said that any better.

[MADem]

2. This is not the real Anonymous?

Well, who is it, then? Someone in the police department?

[pacalo]

9. Could it be one of the guys (with an actual conscience) who was in the room

when that inhuman video was made?

And why would a police chief be so angry about the exposure of that video -- he should be elated for the heads-up on those creeps.

The ugliness is unfolding like a 1970s B-movie -- a small-town sheriff having no more moral fortitude than to hold a press conference for the purpose of threatening the messenger? No mention of the real crime? And you have to wonder if he's basing the identity on assumption or perception; does he have evidence? My guess is he's a member of Dubya's shoot-from-the-hip club & he's all bluster.

[Oilwellian]

12. It's funny you say that

I've been studying this case all day and walked away feeling as though I had just finished a Dukes of Steubenville novel starring Boss Hogg and Rosco P. Coltrane. I think the sheriff is going down. Just look at his corrupt, guilty face.

[pacalo]

14. We're on the same wave-length right now -- I almost used "Boss Hogg" as the sheriff's

sobriquet but scratched it.

[MADem]

17. That was my thought, too.

How would this police officer "know" anything unless he's already done some hacking of his own?

I'm with you on the "bluster/shoot-from-hip" diagnosis. It smells a bit like horsepoop from here, too!

[pacalo]

25. Plus, is he putting an excuse out there as cover for his plans to arrest as many protesters

as possible who will show up at the next rally for the victim?

But there will be some people there who want to yell and curse the Steubenville police. And that is wrong," Abdalla said.

Creepy & twisted. Might this be a shining example of how Homeland Security can be exploited? Phone-tapping, possibly, along with the authority to arrest anyone he pleases, for political purposes -- all in the name of crowd control. Is he that transparent to anyone else?

[MADem]

26. He sounds like a dumbass bully to me! But he does have that "threatening look" doesn't he?

I get the feeling that this story is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to corruption and creepiness in that community.

I'm hoping the guy is just an incompetent blowhard who has never, to this point in time, been challenged, and that's why he is behaving like a right arsehole!

[alphafemale]

91. Really...you stupid asshole. The whole world is watching right now.

Sheriff, proceed.

[joshcryer]

44. That's my thought, too.

This sheriff has nothing on that kid, there's nothing illegal about posting a revealing video online if it is in ones possession. OK, maybe if he didn't film it and the filmer went after him for copyright violations or something absurd like that. But I doubt a jury would convict.

[pacalo]

107. The person who exposed it needs to get a lawyer for protection.

The sheriff probably questioned the one who made the video first, then maybe got a list of people he sent a copy to, & he could be basing his suspicion on that list. "We know who you are...we know your brother." Pretty pathetic thing for a sheriff to say publicly when he's obviously not sure.

[joshcryer]

113. True, hopefully he does that.

But it should be kept on the down low, only between him and the lawyer, he has no need to reveal anything about himself or his motivations for revealing the video. If they know who he is for sure they can get together and try to make him look like he was involved (ie, lie, say he was there during the incident and participated, etc).

[Pretzel_Warrior]

112. It's like Abu Ghraib writ small

[Luminous Animal]

18. Anyone can be Anonymous. It's not like the Elks or a fraternity.

[MADem]

19. I was quoting the cop, there....! nt

[Luminous Animal]

21. Got it. Sorry. I didn't read through. Battling 6 month old kittens trying to eat my

Kung Pao chicken.

[MADem]

23. Play the "Cats in the Kettle at the Peking Moon" song--

they'll look at you in horror and run from the Kung Pao like they've been burnt!!!

"Meow!! How COULD you?"

[Luminous Animal]

24. Snort...

[rosesaylavee]

60. Ha!

I will use this line at my next available opportunity! Love it.

[Recursion]

72. There isn't a "real" Anonymous

It's a voluntary worldwide collective whose members consist of anyone who takes up the mantle.

[Kalidurga]

3. Bring it on sheriff...

Coward. You will do nothing. And anything you do or say can be held against you in a court of law.

[demmiblue]

4. Can anyone be more naive?

It is almost laughable.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

7. This guy used a series of tubes--not dump trucks

To hack into computers. This guy has 800 usernames and makes it appear he lives in 20 different states. But we're onto him!

[Zookeeper]

5. No acknowledgment of the tape released yesterday??

Amazing. Clearly he thinks he can b.s. his way out of this.

[Skittles]

6. "They had the investigation into this incident wrapped up in four or five days"

wrapped up? More like covered up, asshole.

[pinboy3niner]

15. +100

That was August. This is January. Why aren't those reprobates in jail?

[Skittles]

105. I particularly despise his description as "this incident"

makes it sound like those guys were caught TP'ing a house

[MADem]

28. I guess that's why the State's Attorney still has an open investigation working!!!

http://www.heraldstaronline.com/page/content.detail/id/581754/DeWine--State-probing-alleged-ra---.html?nav=5010

....DeWine said it wasn't unusual for the state to become involved in a case when there was a potential for a conflict of interest.

"We were asked to become involved by the local prosecuting attorney," said DeWine. "This is not unusual when there are (potential) conflicts with the local prosecutor."

Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin has recused herself from the case, as has Jefferson County Juvenile and Probate Judge Sam Kerr...."Our job is to find the truth - not to just seek prosecution, but to seek justice," said DeWine. "The community should have great confidence we are approaching this with in an unbiased manner. It's a visiting judge. You have an independent attorney general's office prosecuting the case."

DeWine added, "This investigation is continuing. It's far from over. We encourage people to contact us if they have (evidence or information on the case.)"

[bluestateguy]

8. And they decide to do an investigation

of Anonymous, not the rape.

[In_The_Wind]

47. Does shifting_the_attention_away_from_the_real_crime remind you

of other times when this tactic was used as a cover up ?

Rape is the issue that should be investigated. [img][/img]

[tavalon]

73. It's quite Bushian, isn't it?

Blame the messenger.

[Major Nikon]

10. Reminds me of a cockroach after the light has been turned on

[grantcart]

11. Never interupt an idiot making a fool of themself.

[Pachamama]

41. Sheriff.....Please, Proceed....

[Aerows]

64. LOL

Proceed Sheriff, I love it.

[davidn3600]

13. Apparently this sheriff is friends with the head coach of the football team

According to the leaked information on "The Steubenville Files" website.

So that makes sense...

[Tsiyu]

16. Abdalla has chosen his path

Now he doesn't seem to like the scenery.

Tough shit, Abdalla.

You didn't give even a thought about the fifteen year old who was gang-raped by your fave football stars.

You didn't root out all who were involved with drugging, abducting and torturing one of your town's girls. You just dismissed it and happily went to the games, I'm sure.

Gotta keep them old men who love football happy...let the Rape Crew have at the female students as long as there's FOOTBALL!!!

Now you want to pretend you care about children? Fuck off. I feel sorry for every young person in your nasty, perverted, corrupt, twisted little town, Abdalla. You would see them all raped, no doubt, as long as the rapists were your buddies or your favorite players.

I am SOOOOOO happy Anonymous punked your corrupt ass.

Be a man and step down and then confess your crimes.

And even then, may you know no mercy, for you SHOWED no mercy. Except to RAPISTS.

You fucking PIG.

[MADem]

22. His last name means "Servant of God."

It's a variant of "Abdullah." He's a long way from any religion-based morality, I'd say.

I think he prefers to serve himself!

[Tsiyu]

29. He has "masters" that look nothing like any Divine for sure

and he is serving himself up as toast, I think.

But you're right, he covers his ass and lets a child be tortured. There's got to be some payoff to be THAT evil

[Petrushka]

27. FWIW: According to a Dec. 16 article in the New York Times . . .

. . . the victim was not from Steubenville, Ohio. She was from a middle-class neighborhood on the other side of the Ohio River in Weirton, West Virginia where she was an honor student and athlete at a religion-based school.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/sports/high-school-football-rape-case-unfolds-online-and-divides-steubenville-ohio.html?pagewanted=all

[Tsiyu]

31. You are absolutely correct

and thank you for reminding me.

I've been unable to get the NYT story to open before it times out, so maybe later today i can read it in its entirety.

Still, he puts every student at risk when he lets the Rape Crew get away with this horrendous crime. I'm pretty certain in my own mind that this girl's torture is merely the tip of the iceberg in that nasty little town.

The town needs to come to terms with its dark side , fess up, clean up its act and start giving a shit about more than football, that's for sure.

But thanks for correcting my error, Petrushka

[Petrushka]

45. That NYT story is so lon-n-ng, I ended up . . .

. . . making a printout to read offline.

And . . . inasmuch as I was born and grew up three counties south of the Weirton-Steubenville metro area, I remember quite a few nasty little towns along the Ohio River---especially when I read the poems (and prose) of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Wright, who wrote something memorable about football in his own hometown: "Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio"

http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15590

[n2doc]

81. Very apt

thanks for sharing that

[yardwork]

82. I thought of that poem when I first read about this on DU.

I even mapquested to see how close Steubenville is to Martin's Ferry.

Football has been everything to little Ohio towns for a long time.

[meow2u3]

96. The FBI can and should get involved

The savages kidnapped the girl across state lines, so this is literally a Federal case.

[Ed Suspicious]

77. They really dislike losing control of the agenda.

I love it when the people have the power to decide what is important enough to warrant investigation.

[coalition_unwilling]

88. +1,000,000,000 x 1,000,000,000 - A most righteous rant and sorely needed - n/t

[Sunlei]

20. another sheriff who wants to 'kill the messenger', what an idiot!!

[StrictlyRockers]

42. Right! Obviously the problem that needs focus here is Anonymous.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. I thought this was the Onion.

he didn't really say that, did he?

[defacto7]

32. In my experience

There is a certain probability that local police have local interests in mind, but I have never in my life found sheriffs departments of any state of county that do not have some core of corruption and a twist of masochism. I have learned not to trust or respect any sheriffs Department. That's just my experience.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. Translation: One week into 2013 and I have 100 Tons of Shit-Smelling PR Nightmare on my hands.

Quick, blame someone!

[Scootaloo]

36. "But when you attack innocent people and young children" - fucking say what?

What, 16 year old girls getting drugged and gang-raped don't count, you miserable, worthless turd-in-uniform?

[HangOnKids]

38. YES!!!!!

I had to read this idiots words about 5 times because they were so FUCKING STUPID. Gawd my head hurts!

Hope he's having nightmares if not about the victims than certainly about the ending of his career and reputation.

Roast piggie.

[gtar100]

37. I can only speculate that this is not the only incident involving this "rape gang".

So much of this doesn't make sense. This level of criminality rarely, if ever, happens as a spontaneous, one-time event. Those boys had to feel awfully sure of themselves to tape what was going on. And why would the sheriff feel so compelled to side so quickly with the rapists and abusers if this were the one and only time something like this happened? Sadly, this town probably has a lot more dark secrets to reveal before it can return to a sense of justice.

[HangOnKids]

39. Small Town Small Minds

Big Fucking Problem.

[Prometheus Bound]

48. Comment that caught my eye: "If there are any men in Steubenville they are cowards."

[alphafemale]

49. scurvy little small town schmuck still thinks he's hot shit.

Wants to take it to the next level. He thinks this "Anonymous Person" is one guy.

lol. dude. please. you' re making my tummy hurt from laughing.

You are done. It is all coming out.

All of it.

[Honeycombe8]

52. So he's going after ANONYMOUS and not the rapists????How f___ked up is THAT?

There's your problem, right there!

[sendero]

53. Well.....

... the hubris and stupidity that led up to this debacle are now in full view. It's hard to imagine someone this full of shit becoming a sheriff.

It's time for the community to facilitate a job more commensurate with his character and abilities, I'm thinking used car sales.

[Atman]

54. You either "have a good idea," OR you "know where he lives."

It can't be both. Lying sack of shit.

[randome]

59. Quite a bit of disconnect there, isn't it?

[hobbit709]

55. Translation: He hasn't got a clue and no idea where to buy one.

[madrchsod]

56. "we have a good idea..."

since he has his entire families name i`d think he knows the name of who did this.

he must be covering for some kids with wealthy families. if these kids were poor whites or blacks the powers to be would have convicted them by now.

[Earth_First]

57. Don't you mean the investigation was swept under the rug in four or five days, Sheriff?

Isnt't that what you mean?

[rppper]

58. Perhaps if you pull your head outta'....

Your a$$ $heriff you can actually do the honorable thing and pursue the guilty parties.....honestly, and this is MHO, my guess is that 95% of LEO's want to keep their communities safe....that has been my general thoughts based solely on my personal experiences...but it's the human colostomy bags like this Buford T. Justice wanna-be that f@ck it up for the others...

Movie flashback....the Sheriff in the first Rambo movie...he's somewhere between him and that campus security douche who pepper sprayed all those protesters in California....it's like a bad 70's cop vrs. Hippy movie in real time.....

Where is the citizen's outrage?

[agentS]

61. This small-town sheriff is in for a world of internet butt-hurt (Anonymous)

Sheriff, you might not know this, but Anonymous is a VERY powerful organization, with a VERY short temper and a VERY long memory.
You REALLY don't want to piss these people off, and right now they're already angry at you.

Do you really want ALL of them (rather than just the one guy) up in your grill? Finding out what other dirty, dark, and buried secrets you and your department has? Trust me, they WILL find those secrets. Ask Scientology about that.
http://leaksource.wordpress.com/tag/fred-abdalla/

Just be quiet, gather the evidence, put the rapists away, and hopefully they'll forget about you and move on.

[redqueen]

68. I think it's too late for that now.

He's just offered himself up to be next. His cover up for rapist monsters was probably not the only time this moron has covered up for powerful people... we might well be about to find out.

[Aerows]

70. Oh, I have the feeling that

all kinds of things are going to be dragged out into the light of day. Anonymous isn't afraid to go after large defense contractors that specifically deal in internet security. Does this blithering idiot think for one minute they are afraid of him? He's a corrupt piece of shit, and Anonymous seems to make a specialty of revealing the heinous crimes of people just like him.

He just served his own ass on a silver platter for their perusal.

[MadrasT]

62. L. O. fucking L.

He's killing me over here.

[Earth_First]

63. Sounds like a threat, too...

"We know where you live" is a bullying threat; an offensive threat made by individuals with a history of bully pulpit tactics; which Stubenville seems to have a long history of.

If I were this individual, and I had suspiscion the Sheriff were talking to me; I would hire an attorney immediately.

[Aerows]

65. What a blustering dipshit

89. psst, he's right behind you, sheriff.

[Tsiyu]

114. LOL

Read on the Anon site that rumour has it the Sheriff's brother is the biggest cocaine dealer in town.

I hope that Anonymous guy outs Abdalla's brutha, too.

[limpyhobbler]

74. in over his head.

probably

[etherealtruth]

75. This is what this ass hole directs his rage toward...?

"But when you attack innocent people and young children, I am coming after you," ... um was this type of rage directed toward the sub-human sociopaths or just directed toward protesters?

[abelenkpe]

78. Anonymous is attacking innocent people?

While this guy has let known rapists free to rape again. Yeah, ok....

[proud2BlibKansan]

79. Innocent young people don't engage in gang rape, Sheriff.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

80. So a 8/22/12 story revealed that an Ohio town high-school athletes gang-raped a West Virginia girl,

little or nothing has been done (the athletes who have not been jailed and may not have even been removed from their football team), and a sheriff says with respect to someone who revealed this:

""We have a good idea who this Anonymous person is. I know where he lives. I know his mother's name, his father's name and his brother's name."

More details can be found here with respect to the attitudes of the public officials in this small Ohio town:

110. Yes, 2 were arrested, have had a preliminary hearing and didn't play football

They're out on bail awaiting trial.

[Tempest]

83. Abdalla has been accused of running the drug and gambling trades in the town

Read the reporting of Alexandria Goddard.

This guy is a piece of shit who will be imprisoned by the time the state and federal investigations are over.

[Arugula Latte]

111. Wow.

If they made a movie about this cesspool town, people would say it was too over the top.

[Tempest]

84. Abdalla eats lunch with the head coach twice a week.

He's trying to cover up the fact that his investigation was inadequate and that evidence went missing after he had collected it.

[AzDar]

85. Seems to me these folks in Stuebenville have been running their very own Rust-Belt Mafia...

All I could think of while reading about this case, was that poor girl, and how fucking awful and disheartening it must be to go up against this little small-town syndicate.

[SoCalMusicLover]

86. He Has Moved From Denial To Anger

Next stage is acceptance, which is good, because it's probably going to come right about the time he'll be losing his job.

[RomneyLies]

87. Dude, every corrupt thing you ever did in your life is about to be exposed.

You do not want to fuck with these people, and then you went and fucked with them.

Sucks to be you, Abdalla, but you brought it on yourself.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

92. He better be busy deleting files right now.

People like this deserve to be taken down.

[PeaceNikki]

93. I hope he sends the internet police after them.
