In an exclusive report, Imagine 2050 reports that one of the staple speakers in Minnesota's anti-Muslim speaking circuit is the subject of a restraining order obtained by Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek.
The Imagine2050 staff reports in EXCLUSIVE — Anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist Guandolo assaults Minn. sheriff at NSA conference, per court documents:
John Guandolo’s anti-Muslim paranoia and ill temper appear to have landed him in a heap of trouble.
Guandolo, a disgraced former FBI agent, travels the country giving anti-Muslim workshops to law enforcement agencies under the guise of counter-terrorism training seminars. His presentations are riddled with anti-Muslim conspiracy theories and overt prejudice, once saying in 2011 that mosques in America “do not have a First Amendment right to do anything.” Most recently, Guandolo delivered one of his presentations to the attendees of the National Sheriffs’ Association’s June 2017 Annual Educational & Technology Expo in Reno, Nevada. It may be his last appearance at a law enforcement event for quite some time.
While in Reno, Guandolo physically assaulted a Minnesota sheriff. The sheriff has since successfully obtained a restraining order against the noted anti-Muslim bigot.
Confidential court records sent to the Center for New Community (CNC) by an anonymous source indicate Guandolo was involved in an altercation with Hennepin County Sheriff Richard Stanek on June 28, 2017. Seeking to verify the documents, CNC staff contacted the Fourth Judicial District Court in Minnesota and were informed that all records connected to the case number listed on the documents were sealed and not subject to public disclosure. The response corroborated a detail in the documents that a judge honored the sheriff’s request that the information be kept confidential.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) also confirmed the validity of the court documents to CNC staff on August 10 and provided a statement. “On June 28, 2017, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek was physically assaulted while attending the National Sheriffs’ Association Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada,” the statement reads. “John Guandolo, of Dallas Texas, was cited for battery. Guandolo was presenting at the conference on behalf of the ‘Understanding the Threat’ organization.”
“The Hennepin County District Court has issued a Harassment Restraining Order against Guandolo. The criminal investigation is being conducted by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office,” the HCSO added. ...
