K Kennelly and Xiaodan Li do NOT support all “viewpoints”— for the past 3 years, they have REFUSED to pay attention to, acknowledge, refuse to let their members see the IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE from the computerized voting machines, that was found, right here, in 8 South Carolina counties, by the SC Safe Elections team… “irregularities” and severe problems that continued in ‘22 and ‘24… you are NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK about what is going on, around the country, in regards to those machines and system, that ABSOLUTELY is NOT TRANSPARENT, NOT SECURE, NOT HONEST…. Voting is the foundation of our freedom and you MUST accept their way, OR LEAVE.
“76 years old” and “octogenarian” …. is this some SC DOE shit?
Must be, by my count he is a septuagenarian and won’t hit octogenarian until 80.
? FITSNews’ “hit back”
FITSNews’ coverage of Skip Hoagland’s trespassing case misses the larger point.
Yes, Hoagland was convicted of trespassing at a BCRP meeting — that much is a matter of public record. But the critical issue raised by citizen reporter Lee Granade and others was not about Hoagland’s personality or style. It was about the abuse of law enforcement authority in Beaufort County.
FOIA records have already shown that Sheriff P.J. Tanner directed deputies to arrest Hoagland before he even arrived at the event — contradicting his public statements that he wouldn’t have dissenters arrested. That is not “paranoia.” That is documented misuse of power under color of law.
This isn’t just about one man’s behavior at a private meeting. It’s about a pattern of political policing and intimidation in Beaufort County:
• County employees pressured or fired for not supporting Tanner.
• Whistleblowers reporting harassment after publishing.
• Victims and families intimidated at public meetings.
• Deputies pressured to underreport crime data.
South Carolina already has the highest sheriff indictment rate in the nation — nearly 1 in 3 since 2010. To dismiss legitimate concerns about intimidation, FOIA-verified misconduct, and a sheriff’s unchecked power as “radical” or “libelous” is to ignore the receipts and shield a broken system.
The focus shouldn’t be on whether Hoagland is likable. It should be on whether taxpayer-funded law enforcement is being weaponized to silence dissent. That’s the question Beaufort residents deserve answered.
