Another dumbass critter with another dumbass criminal plot. It seems that some thug wanted the “doitforstate.com” domain so badly, he sent a hulking thug with a gun to take it from the rightful owner. What a GREAT idea!
*Sigh* There are so many problems with this plan. First, if you just threaten the owner, he’s going to call the police and tell them what happened. And they will see the thug’s name that stole it as the new owner.
“So let’s just shoot him!” Nope. Same scenario, only this time you get a murder charge along with everything else you’re found guilty of. What a genius. Parents, don’t send your kids to Iowa State. Not if you want them to think logically. Come to think of it, just don’t send them to ANY college except maybe one of the military ones. And even now that’s questionable these days.
Former Iowa State student sentenced for role in holding man at gunpoint over web domain
A social media platform creator from Cedar Rapids has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison after he recruited his cousin to hold an Iowa man at gunpoint in exchange for his Internet domain, officials said.
Rossi Lorathio Adams II . . .
That name sounds like royalty, I mean except for the “Lorathio” part. Lorathio? Maybe his mom has a lisp? You know there was no father around to name him. He’s even got the II at the end! “Oh, yes. You must be from the Cedar Rapids Adams family. True blue-bloods.” Or at least true Addams Family. Just look at this bitch and tell me he’s not fit for an Addams Family role:
. . . also known as Polo, founded the social media company “State Snaps” in 2015 while he was a student at Iowa State University, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice on Monday. His followers often used the slogan, “Do it for State!”
Adams, 27, wanted the domain doitforstate.com, but it was already registered to a Cedar Rapids man. Authorities said Adams tried to buy the domain, but the owner repeatedly declined to sell it, according to the release. Adams even threatened a friend of the domain owner with “gun emojis” after the friend promoted concerts on the domain.
So scary! I have nightmares about emojis. Meh. Is that the best you can do? And what another great idea! Publicly posting violent threats!
In June 2017, Adams enlisted his cousin, Sherman Hopkins Jr., a convicted felon living in a homeless shelter at the time, to break into the website owner’s home and force him at gunpoint to transfer the domain to Adams, the news release said.
Hopkins broke into the Cedar Rapids home wearing pantyhose and sunglasses over his face . . .
I’m almost positive said pantyhose wear taken from his most recent rape victim.
. . . and a hat on his head and armed with a taser and stolen gun.
Stolen gun. We need to make some kind of law to make that sort of thing illegal!
The victim saw Hopkins enter his home and ran upstairs, with Hopkins in pursuit. A struggle ensued as Hopkins demanded the victim lead him to the computer before holding a gun to his head while showing him a list of demands from Adams which outlined how to transfer a domain name.
But it turned out the conehead wasn’t the bad-ass he and Megamind thought he was . . .
After Hopkins began to pistol whip the victim, the Cedar Rapids man managed to take control of the gun before shooting Hopkins several times in the chest . . .
Too bad he didn’t have a larger caliber or better placement.
. . . authorities said. The victim was also shot in the leg.
Hopkins, who survived his gunshot wounds, was sentenced last year to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty in December 2017 to one count of interference and attempted interference with commerce by threats and violence, according to the justice department.
A federal judge on Monday sentenced Adams to 14 years in prison after a jury in April convicted him of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by force, threats and violence. The judge also ordered him to pay $9,000 in restitution and to pay prosecution costs and attorney fees.
At one time, “State Snaps” had more than 1 million users and incorporated other social media platforms such as Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram. Most of the site’s content featured videos and pictures of “young adults engaged in crude behavior, drunkenness and nudity,” according to the justice department’s news release.
KCCI in 2015 aired a segment on State Snaps, calling 90% of the content so graphic that they couldn’t show it on TV. KCCI’s Todd Magel interviewed Adams, who went by “Polo” for the story.
You can see that here if you want to see college students behaving like critters. Oh, and he should have gone by the name “Polio,” because he’s a disease.
“The nudity, that’s what draws the attention, that’s what got it going,” Adams said in 2015. “I mean, sex sells.”
He’s right. And I’m sure he’ll be selling sex, or having it stolen more likely, in his new habitat in prison. I mean a guy who is such a weak wanna-be thug that he sends gun emojis to scare someone? And then is still such a cowardly turd that when things got down to him taking action, he had someone else attempt the deed for him. He didn’t even have the balls enough to go WITH the hired thug. These character traits are not going to go over well with the felons walking the yard.
All of this has me extremely worried about the safety of Brian Anderson. I mean “Def-Con News?” We all know how much critters love the word “Def.” Plus they’re all mostly ex-cons. Fortunately, most of them don’t know how to read and Brian packs heat. 🙂
