Author and owner of Captain Obvious' Crime Site. I have been blogging in one form or another since the days of Fidonet and BBSes in the early nineties. Started blogging in it's current form around 10 years ago and got seriously interested in crime in 2005, about the time Natalee Holloway vanished. I've been hooked ever since.

    I have three words for you “Captain Obvious” – Defamation of Character. Before you decide to tell lies about someone you better check your facts. First of all – he did not steal the vacuum. The person who bought the vacuum hit his daughter with his cart, then instead of apologizing for what he did, he instead cursed Richard and his daughter and told him to “Keep his “f***** daughter out of the parking lot!” I’d like to know what you would do if someone did the same to your child. Richard made sure his two children were safely secured in the car with their mother before he walked over to the lowlife douche bag who hit his daughter and threw his cart on the ground, (which contained the so called “stolen” vacuum), then smacked the lowlife man in the face. He then walked back to his car and drove away, while the sissy jerk-off tried to grab Richard’s car as he drove away. Also, Richard was with his two children – not three – and the children’s mother.

    According to testimony from the trial – the security officer who was supposedly “shoved aside” by Richard as he was fleeing Sears – testified that he DID NOT lay a finger on him and did not try to run anyone over.

    Richard DeKenipp is a loving father to his children and he would never, ever endanger their welfare. They are his life. He is an upstanding citizen who was wrongly accused.

    I STRONGLY suggest you recant then remove this story before you find yourself facing criminal charges yourself. Only in your case, the charges will be legitimate.

      Wow do you really think you are any different from any of the other folks who have claimed defamation?

      Let me help you with that.

      Via Wikipedia: Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).[1]

      I went and read the news reports and they said the same thing. So go [try] and sue Fox before you try to sue the Cap’n.

      So to reiterate.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

        Yes Miss “Queen” if you notice every single one of the so called “reports” are exactly the same. There was apparently one account of the situation and it is wrong. I was at the trial so I KNOW that the story given is NOT THE TRUTH. And YES, I am different from others claiming defamation – because the information stated in the reports are false. If you knew anything about what the legal term of Robbery means you would know what I stated was true. Since you’re obviously not aware of what it means, let me help you with that:

        Robbery requires a taking of property from the person or presence of the victim, which means that the taking must be from the victim’s possession, whether actual or constructive. Property is on the victim’s person if it is in his hand, in the pocket of the clothing he wears, or otherwise attached to his body or clothing. The phrase “from the presence” or “in the presence” has been construed to mean proximity or control rather than within eyesight of the victim.

        So anotherwords “Queen”, it clearly shows the vacuum was not taken from the store – that would have been classified as “Theft” – not “Robbery”. Since Richard grabbed the douche bags cart (which contained the vacuum) from his hands and threw it down, it was considered “robbery” – which was not what he did, but that’s irrevelant and really none of anyone’s business.

        I just wanted to make sure the REAL story was told and now it has been. THANK YOU.

          Is it really necessary to put quotations around my name? It is actually my nickname used by people of flesh instead of 0′s and 1′s.

          As I said go sue Fox or the original source for not reporting the correct information. This site is based on News stories and if you can prove that he was released from all charges then Cap will fix it. Trying to define robbery to me is absolutely irrelevant to the argument as I am not debating the crime of the person above but your ability to sue this blog as opposed to the dozens of others that have come before you.

          As there is no report on the trial preceding then there can be no update. And your juvenile temper tantrum is not going to change that. This blog is based on the facts presented as you yourself have acknowledged (every single one of the so called “reports” are exactly the same.). Instead of kicking your feet against the wall couldn’t you have simply said that there was misinformation in the news and he was released at trial without incident and Cap would have been glad to change the info as required. But instead you’ve come on this blog, shown your ass and your lack of following an argument which gives Cap a chuckle at his PC, an eyeroll and a probable “dumb ass” comment before moving on.

          So prove what you’re saying is true.

          Anyone can say anything, and we’re supposed to believe some methed-out (coked-out? junked-out? what?) asshole’s drug/booty buddy because you say it’s true? Yeah, that’ll happen.
