Shane Ritter wants us to know

In response to the Bogus Barrister's post about an odd Craigslist ad posted in the South Florida pet section, a Reno man named Shane Ritter has sent the Barrister a few emails (from his account using his real name this time and not that of his ex wife Danielle). For those of you who don't want to click on the link to read our original post (but you really should!) this ad was posted to offer a snake owner "Free snake food" and the food turned out to be a little Jack Russell Terrier named Ian followed by the ex wife herself.

Mr. Shane Ritter, who is the owner/President of Truckee River Fisherman is a little miffed that we linked to his Facebook pages and that we used his name in the story. But we had to in order to point out clasic lulz like this post,that he made on Monday April 9th 2012, " i went fishing on the e. walker river this weekend!" but yet the datestamp on that picture is more than 2 months old!

Furthermore, stating that he did not "approve" of being up here on the Barrister. Well, dude join the club. Nobody wants up be up here either but when you act like a knucklehead on the Internet, be prepared for somebody to point out your knuckleheaderey. Shane Ritter went on a fishing trip alright and he caught himself a big fat crime reporter.



Mr. Ritter admittedly in his email to the Bogus Barrister, came here and read our post. Here is is on our radar.

You can see that he clicked on the "contact us" link and was the only one to do so today. This IP address was the only one we had today and occurred shortly after Ritter writing as "Danielle Ritter" from wheelerpeak23@yahoo.com

Now we know that for those of you who don't have the ability to parse these headers, this is all a bunch of gibberish but to those of us who do this every day, this tells quite a story.

This was the last email we recieved from "Danielle " earlier today from wheelerpeak23@yahoo.com. I'll spare you the rest of this and post the important part.

This tells us that the person who sent out the emails as Danielle today, is the same as the visitor who clicked on the contact us link from Reno Nevada.

It was of course, Mr. Shane Ritter who emailed us with threat of lolsuit alledging defamation and claiming the barrister has no proof. The barrister never lies.

Here is the portion of the email headers that were sent from muddybucket19@yahoo.com, this tells you conclusively that both email senders are in fact Shane Ritter. He can threaten to sue all he wants, but the facts speak for themselves.

im going to respectfully ask that you remove from my name, and all personal information, including links to facebook, etc, from your website. seeing as i committed no actual crimes, nor am a public figure. i understand why you posted the article, however i do not approve of being posted on your site. asince i am allowed free speech, and have the right express an ideas freely, no matter how repugnant the idea, i feel your website posses a threat to my privacy. if you do not comply, i know the liable/defamation laws apply directly to this sort of things. Thank you very much, Shane Ritter


The Barrister's response:

Dear Mr. Ritter,

We regret to inform you that whatever emails you send out are public domain. They are the property of the persons you sent them to and that person is free to do with them as they wish. If you want this removed, you need to get a court order. The court will subpoena your email and phone records in order to understand the nature of your rights in this particular case and to understand what you think they should be removing.
Have a nice day! :)

He responds with this:

Ok. I will file a subpoena on Monday as well as a civil suite naming you and your company for defamtion. You realize I have neither been charged nor committed any crimes, therefor the nature of posts make it both liable and defamation. I understand that your purpose is noable, and I commened you on your doings, but also realize you cannot be sure, by any measure I even sent the emails. I'm asking you very nicely to reconsider, and save us both the hassell. Ian is well taken care, and you have no proof otherwise. I'm sorry if my posts offended you in some way. Have a nice day, Shane Ritter

I'm not worried about the court suboena anything, I have committed no crimes. Your post does not fully fall under defamtion however fully falls under liable. You have no proof that it was I who gave you my number, because you don't know who was on my computer or any other terminal used. Look I'm trying to avoid my name being wrongfully liabled. All you need do is remove me and any connection to me from your story. It still will get the point across. I've already spoke with my lawyer, and I have a case for liable without question. Look I'm willing to work with you now, but later I will not be. Have a nice day.

I like this quote:" asince i am allowed free speech, and have the right express an ideas freely, no matter how repugnant the idea..."

Only a hypocrite would assert his first amendment right for himself in the same letter that he clearly has a problem with our first amendment rights.

And he surely didn't give any consideration to Danielle's privacy when he gave out her name and pictures and physical description to a strange man over the Internet all the while telling him that she had fantasies of being murdered ( i.e being eaten alive).

Now, this case is very similar to what Jebidiah James Stipe did on Craigslist and that landed him 60 years in prison. That guy was an ex Marine who posted Craiglist ads and then wrote strange men as his ex girlfriend. He would tell them that her "dark fantasy" was to be raped.

This story is of public concern. It is newsworthy and that's why it's here. yes, he made the Barrister but it would have been much worse if he would have actually run into the psychopath that he was fishing for. But, who knows who else responded.

Yeah, he spoke with his lawyer that quickly and still is clueless.
