Blunderbuss Firozabad

Made of Pumpkin pie
For a couple of months I've wanted to post about the "Gilbert Goons" a group of affluent teens who violently menaced the community and are now charged with the murder of Preston Lord, 16, but it unfolded really slowly so it never felt like the right time
You'll understand why it took so long when you see the example of one teenager "Goon" Talan Renner, 17, who had a lot of help from his parents in concealing his crime.

Clockwise from upper left,
●Talan Renner, 17, MVP of the football team, popular, good looking, good grades, wealthy parents, and all of that just wasn't enough.
●Preston Lord, 16, victim
●The rest of the Gilbert Goons.

There's loads of videos online from the attacks they committed all over that community, they've been at it for months.

Arizona

"The City of Chandler is exploring a new ordinance to better protect minors after a wave of teen violence in the East Valley.

Thursday, the Chandler City Council is expected to learn about a proposal that would ban the sale of brass knuckles to minors."

The Gilbert Goons:

"Police call the teenage gang the "Gilbert Goons" in thousands of pages of recently released documents obtained by FOX 10 Phoenix.
Treston Billey, 18,
Jacob Meisner, 17,
Taylor Sherman, 19,
Talan Renner, 17,
Dominic Turner, 20,
William Owen Hines, 18, and
Talyn Vigil, 17, have all been charged in Lord's murder.

"One witness told police Nov. 4 that Renner apparently admitted to a friend he was the first one to punch Lord at a party in the Phoenix suburb, allegedly over a $10 gold necklace stolen from one of Lord's friends, according to FOX 10.

Renner's parents, Becky and Travis Renner, owned multiple Orangetheory Fitness studios in different states.
Becky allegedly took the 16-year-old to a lawyer following Lord's attack and "was told by the attorney that he would 'get off' [not in trouble] because of the amount of kids that were said to be involved.""

"Renner's family allegedly transported him to their cabin in Show Low, about three hours from their home in Maricopa County, as his father's ex-girlfriend told police, according to local news outlet AZ Family.
Renner's attorney allegedly advised his family to allow his hands time to heal before bringing him home, the outlet reported, citing police documents."



Things are very much ongoing in this case.



The community, naturally, is shocked, SHOCKED this isn't all Dominic Turner's fault, doing, idea, etc.



Treston, Talan, Talyn are right up there with the names made fun of on the regular here.
Married men shouldn't leave a trail of disgruntled ex-girlfriends.
Lawyers shouldn't give sketchy advice to scumbag parents.

Just a touch more...


Here's dad, Travis

"Phoenix police had to apologize this week after Talan's parents Becky and Travis Renner received special valet parking services from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office cops - who drove their Tesla straight to the back exit of the Durango Juvenile Court so they could avoid journalists.

Authorities took months to name the suspects, with enraged locals who demanded justice and claimed the young boys' powerful families were preventing justice from being served."

"Ashley Reynolds, who worked for Talan's father Travis Renner, has claimed she was an unwilling participant in a coverup that allegedly began as soon as Preston was critically injured.

The former employee at Relentless Media Agency told Arizona Republic that her bosses Renner and Adam Kifer, CEO of Relentless Media Agency, openly discussed their plans to hide evidence and shift blame on another boy with a 'similar name.'"



If you think we live in a classless society then you're not a part of the class that knows its not. Doesn't bother me, just think it's ridiculous when people look the direction they try to distract you with.

This part:
"...shift blame on another boy with a 'similar name."
should tell you a lot about how the world of the rarefied class works

Shifting blame and attention.

TRY to find a mugshot of Talan Renner. No reason there shouldn't be one published. Arizona doesn't have the kind of mugshot laws other states have that explain the abscence of other mugshots, so why do YOU think Talan Renner's isn't online??
Other underaged suspects had their mugshots posted online and they're all being charged as adults and he is the main suspect.
Soooo...?

My whole town is full of them or used to be. Our town was basically built by the owners of the textiles mills here, there were at one time about 4 plus a plant that supposedly invented Silvertown radial tires, there's large section of town named Silvertown. Tho the children of these people were long gone when I was a teenager and the progeny didn't live in our podunk town, the town is still pretty much run by them. Just not officially.

The preferential treatment some kids in my hòmetown got baffled me for a long time.
Election fraud was rampant. Like, how could you be elected our 6th grade class president, and lead in our play? You don't even go to our school .

Why are brass knuckles for sale to anyone? Aren't they illegal to possess?
 
Brass knuckles:

"Brass (metal) knuckles are NOT illegal to buy or possess in AZ. They ARE considered a "deadly weapon", so the same rules for carrying a gun apply. That is the problem: The only way you can legally open carry any deadly weapon is a "belt holster" or "in a scabbard or case designed for carrying weapons".

If enough attention is kept on it, they will eventually be exposed for their actions. Problem is, most people won't commit the amount of time it takes unless it's personal.
Well said.

Brass knuckles are such a low-tech weapon that it's all but useless to prohibit them by law, as anybody can manufacture them or an acceptable facsimile of them at home with common materials. Kind of like trying to ban common cudgels which could be fashioned out of anything from a tree branch, to a table leg, to a length of pipe.

I know, I know, plenty of jurisdictions try to implement such bans. Fat lot of good it does them.

Seems like a table leg could do more damage than the knuckles.
