Todd Kincannon (For. GOP executive director of the SC) arrested for domestic violence

Hadn't seen this here but this crazy teabagger has made it in the new several times for some pretty horrendous statements. Hopefully a jury will put him in prison and his wife can get away from him safely. Hopefully.

Former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party and all-around awful human being, Todd Kincannon, was arrested a couple of weeks ago for criminal domestic violence.
An arrest warrant alleges Kincannon was driving on St. Andrews Road and Harbison Boulevard near Irmo when the pair began to argue. At that point, Griffith said she rolled her window down to yell at passing motorists for help while she pleaded for Kincannon to stop the car.
Kincannon, according to the incident report, began speeding through traffic, but eventually stopped the car at the Chick-Fil-A on Harbison Boulevard. Griffith told deputies that she tried to exit the vehicle in the parking lot, but Kincannon grabbed Griffith's arm in order to prevent her from leaving.

At that point, according to the incident report, Griffith began to hit Kincannon until he sped up the car in an effort to prevent her from leaving the vehicle. The report continues, and says Griffith then dialed 911 so the dispatcher could hear Kincannon. A short time later, the report says, Kincannon saw a patrol car and "freaked out." Kincannon then told Griffith that he would drive their car into a concrete barrier if the police got involved, the report says.

That's when I discovered that saying outrageous things was his schtick, his way to get attention. So I shelved him after that. But I see that he's now deleted his Twitter account. This is probably a good thing for him. There's no shortage of people who would dearly love to laugh in his face now that he's been exposed as a certified piece of garbage.

They love war. Love to step on minorities and women. They don't care if the elderly and disabled are left to die. They like lynching minorities and GLBT. They are violent at heart.

you would!

In one of the clips – obtained exclusively by FITS – Kincannon tells Griffith he will have his “revenge” on her if she leaves him, and that he will make her “very f*cking sorry” if she fails to follow his instructions for improving their marriage.

The profanity-laced clip begins with Kincannon castigating Griffith for not “doing what you’re supposed to f*cking do.”

“Now I’m going to tell you right now – I can’t survive in this f*cking environment that you create with your bad attitude and your unhappy spirit,” Kincannon said. “I’m – I’m sick of it and I’m done with it. And I want to make very clear to you – I don’t give a sh*t about you, or about any of the sh*t in your life. I don’t give a sh*t about all your f*cking divorce threats. You have pushed me so far down the hole that I don’t care any more.”

Wow …

“What I’m telling you is – you are going to by God make my life better than it is,” Kincannon continued. “And you’re going to do the only things that you can do to do that – or else I’m going to make you very f*cking sorry. Because I don’t give a sh*t anymore.”

Kincannon repeats the threat again on the recording – which is essentially a monologue of his thoughts on the current status of his marriage to Griffith.

“I don’t know why you don’t just let the relationship dissolve,” Griffith said at one point in the clip.

“Because I blame you for creating the problems,” Kincannon responded. “And if the relationship dissolves I will get my revenge. I wanted something out of this.”

“I got into this marriage with expectations that it would be a thing that it is not,” Kincannon continued. “And I am telling you right now, you will cure that problem and you will begin to meet my expectations or else you will be very sorry with what happens next.”


I guess the "asshole on Twitter" thing wasn't just an act, after all.
