It would appear by the scant coverage given by the mainstream media to this horrific and tragic crime, that they were more invested in falsifying reports on the pro-gun rally in Virginia than reporting the senseless murder of William Knight.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the 28-year old construction supervisor got into a heated political discussion with fellow construction co-worker, 28-year old Mason Trever Toney, around 10:30 a.m. While both men were working on a Florida Turnpike job site, an argument between the two friends – possibly over their opposing political views – erupted into the deadly confrontation
A police source acknowledged that “Toney is “anti-government and very outspoken about his beliefs that the government is bad and out to get him.”
Witnesses recalled hearing Knight yell for help and seeing Toney repeatedly stabbing him with a trowel. They tried to stop the attack and threw objects at Toney, but he jumped into a truck and drove away, calling them “terrorists,” according to the affidavit.
Toney’s coworker called 911, at 10:45 a.m., from the construction site to report their boss had been stabbed to death. Deputies rushed to the scene and found Knight dead next to an excavator with a brand-new American flag draped over the side of his body. Co-workers recall seeing Toney with a backpack where it was thought he kept the flag.
Ironically Knight gave Toney a ride to work on Monday before the two men, clashed. Police also acknowledged that Toney is known to be outspoken about politics and has said the government is out to get him.
According to local affiliate Fox 13 News, Knight’s family said he and Toney had been friends since grade school. Knight woke up “extra early” every morning to pick Toney up and bring him to work, the family reportedly said.
Deputy Christian Marrero said, “Detectives are thoroughly working through every lead, talking to every witness that was on the scene, in order to determine what happened here today.”
The sheriff’s office on Monday released a photo of Toney and a white Dodge Ram pickup truck they said he was driving as they searched for him. However later in the day police tracked him to neighboring Brevard County where they arrested him without incident and booked temporarily at the Orange County Corrections Department, where he was being held without bond.
This senseless stabbing is reminiscent of another brutal assault on a 14-year old Trump supporter on a school bus, ironically also in Florida just a few months ago.
The young lad was savagely beaten on November 21st by a group of young thugs while riding on a school bus wearing Trump 2020 hat to school.
A 21-second video clip of the incident showing the boy, identified only as Tyler being repeatedly punched and kicked by two girls and three boys on a Hamilton County school bus, as other students look on and screamed in the background.
After the assault, his mother acknowledged that young Tyler was a huge Trump supporter who bought the Trump cap “with his own money” at a flea market several weeks earlier.
“He was proud to wear it,” she tweeted. “He wore it to school, but due to immediate bullying he put it away & didn’t wear it to school again, sadly the damage was already done & was now a target.”
The teen was then “steadily” bullied on the bus, getting “tripped” and verbally abused before the situation culminated in the senseless beating that ultimately required a trip to the hospital.
“The nurse noted there are bruises on his arm that were older along with his new injuries,” the boy’s mother tweeted last month. “He didn’t tell us about the bullying, but they took it to a new level yesterday and we are just now learning what he was going through.”
This is a cautionary tale, to those of us who support our President, be aware there are bullies and emotionally unhinged individuals, out there, suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, who at any moment might go off on those proudly displaying their support for our Commander-in-Chief.
Lawsuit!! The School for not protecting him, the school bus driver, the families of the bullies!! Retire in peace and richness. NAIL THEM !!
Boaz, totally agree! School bus driver should have reported the bullying from the first incident.
Lets stop all the drama its very simple to get to the bottom. Trump says he is innocent and has done nothing wrong then let the witnesses and documents into the investigation and prove the Dems wrong. They will be humiliated
Sad how these young kids acted, this is a learned behavior so the home they live in should be investigated and once proven they are teaching kids to be brutal to other children the parents should be jailed and fined. Our country and the socialist group know as DEMOCRATS are outlandishly breaking every law that we as conservatives had to endure when such a loser/racist like OBAMA was in his terms as SOCIALIST LEADER of the pact. Guaranteed if any of our people would have acted out toward the opposing team there would have been prosecutions. I am on the team that think since our duly elected president has had to endure so much should be allowed to serve three consecutive terms as THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER!
This is awful an innocent life has been taken because of some one supporting President Trump. Dems always bad mouthing President Trump since day one before he even took office this is a very sad world if things like this are going to happen, Trump has to sign a bill that people who are supporting him by wearing his hats or banners or etc. that they are allowed to wear them and that if any one even starts an argument over the hat should be arrested and put in jail…maybe then they will think twice before starting trouble over the best President we ever had in a long time…this is only my opinion….President Donald J Trump in 2020 another term and maybe more…Have a great day every one and thank God the economy is much better with Trump as President…any one who can’t see this doesn’t want to see it.
Someone should beat those bloody red raw they’re filthy cowards
I do not recall any of this happening to outspoken Obama supporters. I don’t recall anyone receiving a beating because they wore pro Obama tee shirt or hat.
I could be wrong, but the left seems to be overcome by hate and intolerance toward people peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights. Oh that’s right, I forgot; if others don’t agree with the left then the left has the right to beat and/or kill. The party of tolerance is like the religion of peace: an oxymoron.
KILL HIM AND DRAPE IN SH*T!
nobody cares
Time to ban all liberals and all democrats. If a person safely owning a gun is a problem then a person with liberal beliefs is a problem. Ban all liberals.
Yup clearly having liberal beliefs made this I dividual a threat to society. We need to ban liberals. Based on bernie sanders aids who are threatening violance if trump is elected we need to ban liberalize today
Clearly being iberal has gone beyond a political thought and has become permission to be violent and abusive. So time to ban liberal belief
When will parents learn to let children be children? If parents can’t be civil in regard to politics how can they expect children to be? I blame Trump for sowing all this hate and non stop vitrol. Totally despicable man especially for a president. Lock him up in a mental health ward and let the rest of us live in peace!
Right on Crystal. We need the truth to come out. I agree on all your points.
