Wishing John Robinson Luck, He'll Certainly Need All He Can Get


Getting yet another big plug in the Daily Times today, John Robinson purposely admits that he's going to spend close to $400,000.00+ in the hopes of keeping his kid out of trouble.

Besides buying a bunch of used cars lately and having everything painted black, you just never know what's next with this guy. He's threatens just about every business owner he disagrees with or person he doesn't like that he will open up a store to compete with them. He's started a screen printing business. He has a clock and jewelery store, he's advertised just about everywhere claiming he'll pay you more money for your gold than anyone else. Seems to me that IF you're paying people more money than anyone else out there your profits would be somewhat slim, wouldn't you?

Yet some how, some way, this John Robinson seems to be so filthy rich and overflowing with cash. He just keeps buying cars and opening new businesses, even if he loses money, admittedly. Heck, now he even wants to start his very own magazine.

Look, I'm all about ANYONE legally opening a business and making a success of themselves. I'm all about giving back to the community, especially kids. However, I happen to know the kind of business Mr. Robinson is about to embark upon and at $5.00 per day, sorry Charlie, it's NOT going to fly, period.

Now, that being said, Robinson openly admits the kind of kids that will frequent his new business venture aren't what some might call honor roll students, if you get my drift. One of the biggest issues, (no matter what the nay sayers say) will be SOME kids selling drugs. Sorry, it's a FACT. It's a problem and an issue no matter what business you own where young people gather on a regular basis. If you think what I'm saying isn't true, well, you're simply in denial. I've been in these type of businesses before and it's a constant struggle fighting it.

Considering Robinson has his hands full with a multitude of businesses, well, there's just no way he's going to be able to police it himself. Oh sure, you can set up cameras but believe me, the kids will find the blind spots and there's NOT enough time in a day to sit back and watch those tapes. Been there, done that.

So what will actually come of this. My guess is when you have an admitted troubled 15 year old kid running your business with no experience, well, in politics they call it lipstick on a pig.

Many have come to me and asked, I never see Robinson's parking lot loaded with cars, how do you think he can afford all this stuff. Oh, I don't know, maybe he has a money tree in the back of his business that just keeps producing cash. It's none of my business. God Bless ANY business person who makes a lot of money and doesn't end up in jail. Better in John Robinson's pocket than Obamas!

Good Luck Mr. Robinson, you're going to need it.

I just found out those cars are all used. He told everyone they were new. He also told me he bought that building his clock business is in and I found out he lied about that too. Maybe he's opening that business because he can profit from those kids in other ways. How much time can a 15 year old kid get.

Something smells in between those lines.

He affords it by scamming poor people out of their valuable gold for a teeny-weeny fraction for what it's worth!
He's made a small fortune by shystering and scamming poor people out of the few assets they possess, and then he pretends that he is poor. Believe me when I say that this swindler has PLENTY of money.
To compensate for his immoral nature, he PRETENDS that he is such a great guy with morals and principles by helping his son get a skate park in the area and then calls his low-life buddies at "The Daily TRASH" to say "Look at meeee!" to glorify him and mask the fact that he is corrupt & EVIL.

I don't think any parent is doing their child a favor (nor the community) by opening anything to do with skateboarding. It's so gauche and crude. I've never heard of any parent that encourages skateboarding.
He should buy the kid a string of polo ponies and open a polo club and school if he wants to keep his kid out of trouble. It's a better class of people.

Records, what records. We don't keep no stinkin records. Robinsons oven burns 24-7.

One problem facing skateboarders is the fact that they are marginalized by much of society. The time will soon come when that is a thing of the past. The number of skateboard enthusiasts around the world, and here in Salisbury, grows daily.
Skateboarding is a healthy activity. Some would say a healthy LIFESTYLE. This lifestyle celebrates and nurtures a sense of self worth, self reliance, and individuality. We feel as a committee that it is in everyone's best interest to help, not fight, the pursuit of skateboarding by so many of our youth.
Just wondering if you agree with this statement?

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 12:56, do you actually have a life?

No one has critisized skateboarding as an unhealthy activity. That is, unless you crack your skull open, break 3 ribs like Robinson admits to in the article, broken arms, legs, ankles, fingers. Yeah, I'd say its a pretty healthy activity.

Look, many say smoking pot is healthy for some. Think about that for a minute, eh.

The reason that skateboarders are "marginalized" sits squarely on their own shoulder, and who cares if it is healthy or not when the attitudes of skateboards is so bad.
Living in Ocean City, I have actually been able to reason with drunken June Bugs and ended up forgiving them for damage done but never skateboarders because they always argue back and never appear sorry.

How come none of the other we sell gold store owners are opening up new businesses or driving new cars. These local cops sure are stupid. Nothing like slapping them in the face.

Is anyone concerned that two close friends of his are sitting in jail on child abuse charges? But this guy wants to open a recreational business for children to attend unsupervised. Does Robinson pass a background check saying he is safe to supervise minors? Will he background check the staff or other adults involved? It seems like the safety and well being of children is being forgotten here.

Joe,
I am just getting into work. From paying my property TAXES! Why You would say anything like this is beyond me. First of all I don't know the MacQuires. PERIOD. So stop acting like I do.
Second of all why attack my son? He is 15 and smarter than you and is capable of running any and all of my businesses if I died today. He is an amazing kid that rides a skateboard alongside all his other hobbies!
As for the gold, we buy mostly from dealers. Not that its your business as you say.
The reason we painted our car was because I got hit by someone and the paint wouldn't match and my son wanted his car painted too.
I have nothing to hide. I own a few used cars? OK, whats the big freaking deal? I never buy NEW cars. And I don't brag about what I won. I work hard for what I have and am proud of it. I am blessed to be able to pass on some of my good fortune.
Jealous idiots. If you want something in your life, here is how you get it... WORK YOUR REAR OFF! Stay in School and get an education and learn a trade so you always have something to fall back on.
I will never apologize for working my rear off and honestly giving back to this community. AND SOME HOW THAT MAKE ME A BAD GUY!?
I know I should respond to you but I doubt you will post this. But for crying out loud just leave my kids alone.

JoeAlbero said...

WOW! Let's tackle this one by one.

John, I don't care where you've been all day but it's not 3 PM and you're just returning from paying taxes. OK?

In order, You claim you don't know the "McGuires" LIE #1.

I never said you did, by the way. But now I am.

Attacking your son, LIE #2. I never attacked your son. In fact I simply repeated what YOU said/suggested in the Daily Times. Smarter than me eh. Well, his father is still working, isn't he? That is, unless your not his father. Just saying.

So you buy from dealers, ok. Would that be drug dealers, just saying.

You painted all of your cars because you couldn't match the paint on one of them, LIE #3. John, if you go to a paint shop that can't match paint, your an Idiot.

You then said, "Stay in School and get an education and learn a trade so you always have something to fall back on."

John, have you looked at your comment? Forgive me for being so bold but John, I didn't finish school, I retired at 40 years old a multi millionaire, (which I know kills you inside) I can spell and complete sentences, go figure. You, (on the other hand) cannot and never have been able to do so. John, I do not think people are impressed with your words of wisdom or lack thereof.

Let me close with the kids thing. First of all, YOU ran to the Daily Times begging them to run an article and even take a picture of your kid, Oh My God. I never attacked your "kid" in my article, as you strangely suggest. Nevertheless, he's your kid John. Mine have names like Nicholas and Patrick. You see, I'm a proud enough Father to call mine by their names, not "kid".

By the way John, how's that body guard thing working for you or the alleged video you have of me beating the crap out of you??? Yeah, I have plenty of people on Facebook who can't stand you. I get messages all the time and then you shut down your facebook page and scream at ALL of your friends for betraying you. LMAO!

You run around telling people I stalk you. So you know John, even making that statement is a crime. Do it again and I will have you arrested. You can say follow but you cannot say stalk. You've been warned for the last time.

Anyhow John, I use my real name and never hide behind anonymous. You on the other hand, well John, we catch you all the time because you have a distinct fingerprint on the internet and you are the easiest one to figure out.

I truly wish you luck with your skateboard park. Unfortunately I know for a fact you will fail in a very big way but where I laugh the hardest is knowing I can force you to dump your hard earned cash into that business simply because you'll not let others know just how badly you failed. Or your "kid" for that matter. You have a very long way to catch up John but all the best.

JOE YOU DO STALK ME!
How do you know what cars I own or when I am at my store?
Your a laughing stock of our community. I know of no one that likes you and will admit it.
I am only 41 - I would never retire I want to leave something to my kids and make sure they lead respectable lives. UNLIKE YOURS that are in JAIL!
You have been arrested for stalking me not the other way around and you took a plee to leave me alone. STET with restrictions!
You are a stalker of me and my family!
Now have me arrested! For telling the truth.
POST THAT

JR you should have quit while you were ahead. Joe is right.

JoeAlbero said...

No problem John, I'll publiksh your comment. You see John, I'm not afraid of you and your lies. You had me arrested, eh? Now that's the funniest lie you've said yet. Nevertheless, it's now on the record but as we all know John Robinson, you'll cry in front of a judge saying you never made the comment and every one is out to get you.

You see Folks, the last time John Robinson tried to get another peace order on me the judge caught him in so many lies he threw the entire case out, again.

He likes to make up these lies, (I guess pathological people get a woody out of lying) and then when he's challenged in court the truth comes out and Robinson gets caught. It's all on the record, isn't it John. Yeah, he cried like a little baby at the end begging the judge after he passed his decision against Robinson, can't you send us to conflict and resolution, please judge. It was the funniest thing I ever saw. Heck John, I almost cried for you. The judge started laughing.

So I see now John, stalking means that if someone tells me about all the cars you have, that's stalking. You have many screws loose in your head Johnnie Boy.

Oh, for the record Johnnie, I don't have a son in jail. You really get a hard on lying to people, don't you. In fact, my "kids", (lol) probably make more money a year than you do Johnnie. You see, I did such a grteat job raising my "kids" that they actually learned something and can accomplich success on their own. Now that's giving back to society, eh Johnnie. I guess you're suggesting I'll have nothing left to give them when I die, right?

Sorry to disappoint you Johnnie but ALL of my properties are paid for in cash. I don't beg property owners to do 100% owner financing on borrowing to own a piece of property. You can brag all you want Johnnie but you'll never reach my level of success and again that kills you inside and that's exactly why you have the need to lie about everything.

OK, I'm t\hrough with this pissing match. I win, you lose/r.

Talk about stalking. Look how Robinson is posing in front of your window. The guy is a creep. I will not allow my children to go to any business this guy owns.
