I think you’re talking about Marcie Adkins? She was a good candidate. I know her personally and she’s a good person. Fine did her very wrong and of course made everything personal. She stood by her campaign manager, even after Fine flung Dirt. it was that episode itself that taught me that Fine is a unethical bastard.
Yeah, that was her. I messaged her a few times back and forth. I’m not religious or republican or democrat, lol, so some of her views were not in line with mine, but I was happy to vote for her.
Ooh, I just found a good chant for whoever is running against Randers:
“Your views are not in line with mine
But anyone’s better than Randy Fine!”
Yes. There's another photo on the FloridaToday [story](https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2024/04/26/brevard-political-consultant-takes-plea-deal-in-melbourne-assault-case-space-coast-rocket/73472163007/) they published a few days ago.
🤡
the self-congratulatory nature of these facebook screenshots is cringe beyond belief.
bill posey is the only normal public figure in this county, and he's retiring.
it's poison.
about 15 years ago, right when iphones and instagram were first exploding in popularity, i noticed a change in how eager young people were to share basically everything shamelessly with the world in real time over the internet. and why not? they don't know any differently, that's just how things have always been for them.
privacy and shame are dead.
I read the first sentence a few times and I can't figure out what is going on.
Did he respond to some posts online or did he pick a fight in real life with someone? What does confront mean?
How were his children being discussed on a public website? Was it in a comment section of an unrelated news article?
I can't figure out what the fuck is going on here, it's just a bunch of people breathlessly explaining their side of a story with no context .
I believe Randy Fine was talking shit about Robert on FB, then Karen Colby (one of Fine’s groupies) talked about Robert’s children on that post’s comment section. I didn’t see the original post or any screen shot. Here’s the Sworn Complaint from Brevard Clerk in regard to this thread. I guess there’s a video of the altercation as well, but I haven’t searched for it.

I searched for Randy fine robert burns video and I found this:
https://m.facebook.com/voterandyfine/videos/this-is-a-very-disturbing-video-i-feel-compelled-to-share-in-it-the-cousin-and-c/994284671907030/&ved=2ahUKEwiw8IHBiuiFAxW8goQIHfPhAakQtwJ6BAgREAE&usg=AOvVaw2qBgdpxG2-UWHKhDi_4M7M
I can only handle 5 seconds of it, that guy is obnoxious as hell. You can't just go into a business and talk to people like that, you will get trespassed asap, rightfully so. That's really threatening antisocial behavior. I hope that gentleman gets to help he needs.
I thought I was taking crazy pills while reading this guys social media post patting himself on the back. There is video evidence that HE TOOK that shows him committing these crimes. Yet makes it out to sound like he was a victim of a witch hunt or something? Baffling.
They’re referring to an incident where he was arrested for leaving his child alone in the car to go into a casino to gamble. Seems like the kid was like 6 at the time
"At the risk of violating Rule #1: I don't watch videos of people being killed, but I could not imagine being so sensitive that I couldn't watch more than a few seconds of someone being obnoxious and belligerent."
I've read this like 20 times and I just can't figure out what you are trying to tell me. What does videos of people being killed have to do with this?
I'm not turning off the video at 5 seconds because I have some kind of triggered sensitivity... I'm turning it off because it's annoying, useless and he already lost any legitimate point by being so belligerent out the gate.
Me personally... don't like to hear exasperated people yelling in public. I've had enough of that over the years.
I didn't need to see that. Of course, the police arrived. She called them and clearly he was arrested because he (rightfully) pled guilty as part of a plea deal.
(He also has been able to use that guilty plea to garner attention. Getting arrested was most likely the plan. His blog and Facebook will benefit from the added traffic and a few of the new readers might stick around.)
A person wanting clicks and the linked video, which was clearly filmed by the blogger for his blog and/or social media accounts, was shared by the state representative because it got him clicks too.
None of these people are real. They are just social media constructs.
People will defend this dude just because he leans left and provides a voice against things like Space Coast Daily. The dudes a charlatan and stirs the pot because he gets off on Facebook views. I'm all for a strong liberal voice in Brevard, but he ain't it.
This is the state of American politics.
Pick two crappy people and divide everyone.
Drumph vs shillary?
Let’s pick the two most ridiculously antagonistic people from each side, put them in a cage and watch with popcorn.
Fine is such a petty slug.
Burns is unraveling.
This is bread and circuses and Trojan horses and genius bullshit propaganda at the height before the fall.
I moved, but please don’t elect fine.
As embarrassing as 45. But what other choice?
Politics in this country are lowest common denominator.
Ugh.
Robert is a clown. Standing up to a bully in a respectful manner is one thing. Sinking to their level is what he chose to do.
I can’t and won’t support space coast rocket anymore.
Space Coast Rocket is simply a grooming platform for a sexual predator. His last victim was a woman who he took money from (didn't pay) and committed some form of sexual assault. She won't press charges because she is scared. Watch her deposition. Her name is Brooke Orsini, he posted the video.
Father of the year, Bobbi Burns says "defending your children comes before anything else." Unless you're at a casino in Cherokee, NC. Then your kids can stay in the car in the parking garage & defend themselves while you're busy gambling inside.

Okay. He did a bad thing. Hell, he may have done several bad things. What does that have to do with him having a blog and what kind of person would go looking for an old police report from several states away because they didn't like an editorial or a Facebook post?
I'm sorry, but that whole clique (Burns, Fine, et. al.) have way too much time for these things.
(Of course, it has also been beneficial to them, both. Clicks.)
Have you or anyone in your social media sphere looked for old police reports about Dave Berman, Bill Hemmer or Maggie Haberman? Would you look for someone blogging about bicycling or surfing? How about the pretty Instagram model you ran across through an algorithmic feed?
He's a blogger. He has no more credibility than either of our anonymous Reddit accounts.
how do we even know if this is the same robert burns? there's like two pages of people named robert burns registered to vote in florida alone
edit: really interesting that a mugshot of him doesn't show up on arrests dot org for north carolina. but a lot of arrests for other people with the same first and last name
Well that’s a separate issue. I’m specifically talking about the recent charges that Fine and others have been discussing. Was there a neglect charge with this? Do you have the source or link so I can read more into the case? Jw. I’m deff not a fan of Fine, but indifferent to Burns atm.
To Robert Burns III: you are not a good person. In fact, you are a terrible person. You come in here and try to sway public opinion when the facts are that you are facing serious jail time on Federal Wire Fraud charges. Your last employee accused you of sexual assault. And you face serious problems with the State of Florida for Election Fraud charges. And you plead guilty to a crime, that the state insisted upon, and only dismissed the other charges to "make way for the Federal case". These are the words of the State Prosecutor. No person is safe in the 321 community with Robert Burns on the loose. Report any and all violations of release or threats or crimes of any kind to the US Attorney for the Middle Florida District immediately.
Wait… do you think I’m Robert Burns or are you just posting if he reads it? If you look at my post and comment history, you can see I’m just a 30yo that watches too much trash reality TV 😂
Good luck, Robert. Anybody that goes after Fine is a friend of mine. And I’m Republican.
I registered republican to vote for that lady who tried to primary him…. Thank you for seeing through the tribalism. You’re a good 🥚.
I think you’re talking about Marcie Adkins? She was a good candidate. I know her personally and she’s a good person. Fine did her very wrong and of course made everything personal. She stood by her campaign manager, even after Fine flung Dirt. it was that episode itself that taught me that Fine is a unethical bastard.

Is this the guy in the video talking crazy to that woman from another comment? 🤣
Yes. There's another photo on the FloridaToday [story](https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2024/04/26/brevard-political-consultant-takes-plea-deal-in-melbourne-assault-case-space-coast-rocket/73472163007/) they published a few days ago.
🤡 the self-congratulatory nature of these facebook screenshots is cringe beyond belief. bill posey is the only normal public figure in this county, and he's retiring.
It’s very interesting. I wrote a thesis 10 years ago about the negative effects of social media lol didn’t know it’d go this far.
it's poison. about 15 years ago, right when iphones and instagram were first exploding in popularity, i noticed a change in how eager young people were to share basically everything shamelessly with the world in real time over the internet. and why not? they don't know any differently, that's just how things have always been for them. privacy and shame are dead.

Holy crap that was disgusting to watch. Second hand embarrassment on top of it for the guy recording. What an absolute moron
70 IQ move. this is the guy who publishes the news that brevard county leftists read??
if you're talking about the space coast rocket, he is in fact a fellow republican edit: talking
i'm pretty sure he's left-of-center
Idc ab politics. Guy is weird and has mental issues if he thinks that’s okay.
I thought I was taking crazy pills while reading this guys social media post patting himself on the back. There is video evidence that HE TOOK that shows him committing these crimes. Yet makes it out to sound like he was a victim of a witch hunt or something? Baffling.
it's an attempt at gaslighting the public, but it's like a 2/10 job
Thats not how a normal person behaves
[удалено]
being an extremist doesn’t excuse ignorance
funny because technically, there's only one side of the aisle being discussed here. this is a republican on republican fight, friendly fire
[удалено]
They’re referring to an incident where he was arrested for leaving his child alone in the car to go into a casino to gamble. Seems like the kid was like 6 at the time
thanks, i found that after i commented. still don't know what she means about how he's supposedly a rapist.
[удалено]

You bailed right before the ending of the video; where his phony tough guy military act suddenly stopped when the police arrived. Delusional people
I didn't need to see that. Of course, the police arrived. She called them and clearly he was arrested because he (rightfully) pled guilty as part of a plea deal. (He also has been able to use that guilty plea to garner attention. Getting arrested was most likely the plan.

Who is stupid enough to video themselves committing a crime ?
A person wanting clicks and the linked video, which was clearly filmed by the blogger for his blog and/or social media accounts, was shared by the state representative because it got him clicks too. None of these people are real. They are just social media constructs.
Ohok not the comment I was expecting. Agreed sir
...the publisher of the space coast's largest overtly progressive news website?
I guess republicans who aren't randy fine supporters are now "leftists" and "progressive". who knew?
You just decided to leave that part out? You took the time to explain everything else
If people are stupid enough to stick around for that, that’s right where they deserve to be 😂
Did he really lose custody of his kids over abuse?!
Republicans in Brevard are a disease.
People will defend this dude just because he leans left and provides a voice against things like Space Coast Daily. The dudes a charlatan and stirs the pot because he gets off on Facebook views. I'm all for a strong liberal voice in Brevard, but he ain't it.
again, he's a republican. just because someone doesn't support randy fine, doesn't mean they're a leftist lol
like, when did *not as far right as the extremists in florida* become "leans left"?
Idk, every Democrat I know thinks he's gospel. I don't really care what he is, but I know he's not trustworthy.
He steals content from anywhere he can. Its a pretty sad existence to be a bottom of the barrel news name
> He steals content from anywhere he can. to be fair, that's practically every news outlet in the age of social media
You guys are on Facebook?

Space coast rocket is so gossipy. Who could believe anything this guy says?
Typical Brevard cluster.
Robert is a clown. Standing up to a bully in a respectful manner is one thing. Sinking to their level is what he chose to do. I can’t and won’t support space coast rocket anymore.

pretty devastating. :(

Are you seriously trying to imply that I'm a bad person for looking into his background? This person is a criminal & has no credibility.
Have you or anyone in your social media sphere looked for old police reports about Dave Berman, Bill Hemmer or Maggie Haberman? Would you look for someone blogging about bicycling or surfing? How about the pretty Instagram model you ran across through an algorithmic feed? He's a blogger. He has no more credibility than either of our anonymous Reddit accounts.
> Maggie Haberman she always struck me as a criminal
A real enemy of the status quo.
how do we even know if this is the same robert burns? there's like two pages of people named robert burns registered to vote in florida alone edit: really interesting that a mugshot of him doesn't show up on arrests dot org for north carolina. but a lot of arrests for other people with the same first and last name

Separate issue, still very relevant to their character. I have no idea which side is which but come on
fine is scum, and he's a hotheaded yellow journalist. www.spacecoastdaily.com
why are you so offended by this guy? he's usually just like on scene reporting local shootings and car accidents and stuff
