I Can't Believe It Came to This: Rekieta Law's Case is Alarming
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Rekieta Law is the online pseudonym of Nick Rekieta, an American lawyer and RUclipsr who creates content focused on legal analysis and commentary, often related to internet drama, pop culture, and politics. He gained popularity through his coverage of various legal disputes and controversies within online communities.
@RekietaLaw / @rekietalaw
Some key points about Rekieta Law:
Background: Nick Rekieta is a practicing attorney based in Minnesota, United States. He has experience in various areas of law, including business law and intellectual property.
RUclips content: Rekieta's RUclips channel features live streams and videos where he analyzes and discusses legal aspects of current events, online controversies, and high-profile cases. He often collaborates with other RUclipsrs and online personalities.
Legal commentary: Rekieta is known for his in-depth analysis of legal documents, such as lawsuits and contracts, and for explaining complex legal concepts to his audience in an accessible manner.
Controversial topics: Rekieta often covers controversial topics and is not afraid to express his opinions, which sometimes lead to disagreements with other online personalities or communities.
Audience: His channel has a significant following, particularly among those interested in the intersection of law, politics, and internet culture.
It's important to note that while Rekieta Law provides legal analysis and commentary, his opinions and statements should not be considered as legal advice. He often reminds his audience to consult with their own attorneys for specific legal guidance.
Innocent until proven guilty" is a fundamental principle in many legal systems, particularly in countries with a common law tradition, such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This principle is also known as the "presumption of innocence."
The core idea behind this principle is that a person accused of a crime is considered innocent until they are proven guilty in a court of law. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution, who must present evidence and arguments to convince the court or jury of the accused person's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Key aspects of the "innocent until proven guilty" principle include:
The accused has no obligation to prove their innocence; it is the prosecution's responsibility to prove guilt.
The accused has the right to remain silent and not testify against themselves (the right against self-incrimination).
The accused has the right to legal representation and a fair trial.
The court or jury must presume the accused to be innocent until the prosecution has presented sufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
If there is any reasonable doubt about the accused person's guilt, they must be acquitted (found not guilty).
The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is essential for protecting individuals from wrongful convictions and ensuring that the legal system is fair and just. It is a safeguard against the abuse of power by the state and helps maintain the rule of law.
The "court of public opinion" is a metaphorical term that refers to the collective judgments, opinions, and reactions of the general public regarding a person, event, or issue, particularly when there are allegations of wrongdoing or controversial matters involved. It is not a formal court of law but rather a concept that describes how public sentiment can influence the perception and outcome of a situation.
Key aspects of the court of public opinion include:
No formal legal process: Unlike a court of law, the court of public opinion does not follow a structured legal process, rules of evidence, or the principle of "innocent until proven guilty."
Media influence: The media plays a significant role in shaping public opinion by reporting on events, providing commentary, and sometimes sensationalizing stories.
Social media impact: With the rise of social media, individuals can quickly share their opinions and reactions to events, leading to rapid spread of information and potentially influencing others' perceptions.
Reputation impact: Being "tried" in the court of public opinion can have significant consequences for an individual's or organization's reputation, even if they are not formally charged with a crime or found guilty in a court of law.
Emotional responses: Public opinion is often driven by emotional reactions rather than a careful examination of facts and evidence, which can lead to a rush to judgment.

(not watched yet, plan to)
But this situation with Nick has me feeling geniune hate for his haters but also the enablers. I want him to do well, i want him to come back to his sense and have a redemption arc. His self destruction came as whiplash to me after not watching him for a period.
Very interested in your thoughts.
His 9-old child tested positive for cocaine!
@@PARAMONARIOSbecause he sold his kid to "pizza guys"
@@xzenderxlmao stop simping. He, allegedly, sold his kid for coke.
@@KarlKapo Wanting him to redeem himself is simping? Piss off.
As the son of an addict, i can fully relate to going to school dirty and hungry, wearing the same clothes. I never doubted my mom loved me, but she did abuse and neglect us during that time. We did eventually get taken away, and it was needed. We made up and i got to spend her last two years with her, during which she apologized for everything. It was the first time she ever admitted what she did, and took accountability. I had stopped holding it against her long before, but I'm glad for her sake that she got it all off her chest. I know she loved us, and I know she was sick. I hope this dude gets the same redemption before it's all said and done.
That sounds like a rough way to grow up, but it also sounds like you've gone through some incredible healing and recovery. ❤ It's so great that you were able to forgive her, spend time with her, and say goodbye without (hopefully) any resentment or regret. 🙏 ❤️
Stories like yours,,, and My own are what got me to Smarten tf up.. I was a Musician, living the rock start life, if you will... then my gf at the time wound up knocked up. Checked into rehab and sorted myself. I didnt want what happened to you, me and others, to my Son. 20+ years clean. I know how it goes mate, I wish my folks would have clued into the Damage they had done and least owned up to it. Too late for that as theyre dead now. Good luck to you. Thanks for sharing your story. Cheers.
I just hope Nick gets the help he and his family needs.
@@fredsmith5782 As of today, he's refusing that help. The KCHHS document from last night states plainly that both parents are refusing the steps that would allow the children to come home: they are refusing drug tests, and refusing access to the home to see it is suitable for children to return.
The man has 5 children though, the fool is a grown ass man he should have known so much better. Do hope he gets better for the sake if his kids but him even doing this is completely asinine.
I started watching him durring the Rittenhouse bs. Im sad to see how bad things have gotten. Every time more news comes out, it just gets worse.
I also watched him during the Rittenhouse trial. I tended to gravitate towards Viva Frei and Barnes more as it went on though. Hadn't thought about Nick since. This is a crazy story if true
I watched the entire Rittenhouse case through his streams. Wild time.
Rekeitas 9 year old daughter had a hair follicle tests that tested positive for a massive amount of metabolized coke, the test is consistent with daily controlled substance use for months.....this is a test of his 9 YEAR OLD KID
@@MrCadet08 ...who was 8 at the time of the testing... As I recall, it wasn't until age 10 that I entered MIDDLE SCHOOL. Sad sad.
@@MrCadet08 wth??
My brother is in prison for stupidity. This is colossal stupidity. Pray. for the family.
But what if I'm an atheist?
@crumphorn *cringe*
This entire topic is horribly tragic and i pray for Nicks kids
Prayers won't help
@@KarlKapo You could not be more wrong about that. Pessimism is never a virtue.
@@arnoldvezbon6131 It doesn't help. Taking away his kids form him does
@@KarlKapo OK Captain Justice. Thanks for the input.
@@KarlKapoI have had the prayers of others lift me and keep me going throughout the health issues I've battled. You might not believe it, and that's fine, but I can testify that prayers do work.
There's one thing to be an adult partaking in degenerate acts. It's another to disregard your kids and even have your 8 year old daughter use drugs is fucked up.
I'm truly hoping the child wasn't actually using but had some type of second hand exposure. Not that they should have. Our job as a parent is to protect them. But intentional use at 8/9 is horrifying
Woah pump the brakes I keep hearing this case pop up on channels I watch but I am so ignorant to the entire thing I guess it's time to look it up
@@crazywanch101 respect for you for pumping the brakes and not getting caught up in the hysterics. Being able to know when to stop take a second and do a bit of research on the topic yourself before jumping on the bandwagon is such an important thing to have. Much respect!
I was brought up in the care system because my life was in danger from birth to two years old. I was fortunately adopted.
Neglect of children is abuse.
If you don't feed a dog and deny it the basic needs to live a healthy life, it's animal abuse.
Denying a child of the very basics is as bad as actual physical abuse.
@@kurtdavis7588uh.... I don't think the coke they're referring to is soda.
The people who are angriest and the most disappointed are the ones who liked Rekieta.
Whoever did are nonces
Absolutely. I used to watch him almost every night, at the very least as background noise at work. Stopped watching regularly right after Rittenhouse, and then stopped watching at all once all the stupid swinging and balldo nonsense started. He was a breath of fresh air compared to most creators. Seemed to be a good guy standing up for what was right. Family man, good morals, all that stuff. He had everything, literally the life the vast majority of people could only dream of. He flushed it down the toilet like an ungrateful scumbag.. And the kids seemingly being involved is horrific. He could have been number one, now he's a big steaming pile of number two. I've never seen someone snatch utter ruin from the jaws of success/victory so completely.
💯
I'm mostly angry at myself. I thought it was just his drinking getting out of hand, but looking back it's obvious that there was something else going on even before the Rittenhouse case.
@@svensorensen7693 its only obvious if you have experience.
I finally learnt what a balldo was. I regret everything.
I just googled it; thanks lot.
Aw...no. nonono. Curiosity is a curse. 🙈
But guys it's FUNNY (at least Rekieta thinks so)
AHHHHH
A what?
Oh. That's... new. In an industry where no one has innovated since silicone became a thing.
It wasn't long after the Dep trial, that I stopped watching his live streams. All other things aside, the amount of drinking alone was upsetting or made me feel uncomfortable enough to stop watching him.
I stopped during the trial. It seemed like he never had anything valuable to add compared to everyone else covering it. It came off more like he was a simple gossip rather than a lawyer.
99% of stream viewers watched it because of Depp, not because of Nick. I myself watched live with Asmon, than any 'lawyer'. Lawyer reaction was visited later.
Same.
Same here. I found him during the Depp trial, but he...rubbed me the wrong way, and I tended to avoid him. The drinking was also uncomfortable to watch.
When he first started and just having a couple of drinks it made the show better and what he was known for but he slowly started drinking more and more
I first learned of Rekieta back during the Vic Mignogna trial. I also enjoyed his coverage of Johnny Depp trial.
I hadn't been watching him in months, so the arrest came as a shock to me.
Very sad but i just hope the kids are okay, since they are the most important thing in this situation. I appreciate you not rushing out a video on the situation like youtubers who just want to clout chase.
I like more level headed discussions on this. So thanks.
His 9 year old daughter tested positive for cocaine. 5000 picograms, which is considered daily use in an adult
@@djduncanjames I saw that today on Legal Mindset. Shame on Nick.
@@djduncanjames 5000, which is ten times the cutoff rate of 500 (for false positives and prescription cocaine use... essentially ten times the "doesn't matter" level)
They are unfortunately in the foster care system (not with family for some reason), and since Nick admitted the information leaked was real/true, the documents stated that they are being uncooperative every step of the way - meaning they aren’t even trying to get the kids back. They refuse to submit any drug tests (starting to make sense as to why they paid the 50k for bond to not have any conditions - to continue use), refuse to let the home be inspected, refuse to remain in contact with CPS - basically they have refused to do anything that could have them seeing their kids and reuniting with them. Which if he didn’t want the state being involved in this manner, he should have never done anything in that home where the kids reside.
He’s so trumped up on this whole GUBMINT OVERREACH lame excuse and trying to act as if he’s being persecuted for just being a MURICAN EXERCISING HIS RIGHTS that his narcissism has led himself to believe that the state is genuinely targeting him because of his beliefs. He thinks he’s “standing his ground” against some big conspiracy against him - at the expense of his kids. I’m sorry, but he lost that ability the moment he let his children be exposed to this stuff. He needs to step off his high horse and play ball for the sake of his kids, but because his ego has gotten so massive that he thinks all of this is because he has said certain things on his stream about the government and that it could never possibly be that he was being a shite parent doing shite things with children present in the home.
Guy has become delusional, and now looking back on streams and thinking back on certain comments …. he’s always been this way and it’s been clear as day going all the way back to the Vic days. He’s always seen himself as a big, grand person with principled beliefs standing up for what’s right and no one can tell him otherwise, and anyone that tried to come at him with a different perspective was always cast as being “stupid”. He lauded his profession as a lawyer over others as a way to fuel his ego and make others hang on his every word, building up a cult following in the process that would egg him on and build up his “I am always right” mindset. He has never seen himself as ever being in the wrong - he’s _always_ “right”.
He reeks of narcissism, but if this was someone *he* didn’t like? He’d be all over it and calling a spade a spade. He’d be supportive on what the state is doing and would consider it right, but since it’s him? Now we’re suddenly supposed to believe he’s innocent and it’s all a ploy by the government to come after him.
Raffaello, please, do not under any circumstances accept a Sonichu medallion. Do not open strange, suspicious, and unfamiliar boxes with weird or creepy notes. The curse has gotten many a person, including youtubers, into hot waters.
Can't be stressed enough. Don't even say the word out loud. Its not worth it.
What's a sonichu medallion?
It's best you don't find out
Yes, ward yourself against Magichan!
@@roskana "What's a sonichu medallion?"
A powerful magic medallion forged by the Demon-Prince Chrischan, that will spiral down it's wearer to unimaginable depravity, debauchery and derangement.

There's a famous saying from an actor, I don't remember who.
Be nice to people on your way up. Because you'll be meeting them on your way back down.
That was Danny Trejo
Red Skelton
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."
Good on you for standing up for yourself! Eloquently, politely, and controlled. Well done!
Perfect video to learn how to defend yourself.
It's great until you stand for the truth while all those around you are falling for lies.
I've been following Rekieta since before his Vic Mignogna days. It's absolutely tragic what's going on in his life right now. He's not the man he was years ago. He was genuinely awesome and incredibly kind with his time. Regularly shared his platform with nobodies. A fellow 40k nerd at heart. Was always wholesome seeing his little ones infiltrate his streams to get a hug before bed and it added to his humanity. Guy's wit was sharper than most blades and he could think on his feet rather well. His humour, too, while too much for some, was a breath of fresh air in an age where folks censor themselves to appease certain groups. As the ol' saying goes, he called a spade a spade. Heck, he even upheld the virtues of marriage, when so few do nowadays.
... now? I'm not sure what to believe. I feel I don't even know him anymore, or at least it felt like I knew him back then. I do hope he gets the help he needs.
Ā Vic situation, thats where Ive heard of this chanel. Oh how many years have passed. Stopped watching RWBY when they fired him and now Rooster Teeth has been shut down.
He was really good at explaining court documents in a way that's both insightful and entertaining. He also didn't drink every stream and if he did it was only a few drinks.
Yeah I remember watching back during the Maddox case. His work was solid. You see streamers fall off all the time, but I don't think I've ever seen someone so grounded and normal fall off this hard.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Yeah... can't say I'll ever shed a tear for Rooster Teeth's fate. Also can't imagine its founder would have appreciated what it became.
His wife is also just as guilty, and the best thing for them right now is to be rightfully shamed. I sometimes wonder if the old Nick was ever real or just a facade that fell away with enough ego and substances. I wanted the guy he used to be to be real. I'll give you that.
You are by far one of the most polite and accurate content creators online. You take much more erroneous backlash and critique than anyone I know, dealing politely with people I would have told to “F.O.” a long time ago.
Deeply appreciate the nuanced approach to this topic and the respect shown throughout. It's the quality of presentation we have always come to expect from this channel.
I'm glad to hear that thanks
@@metatronyt He drugged an 8 Y/o child.
Get off your high horse. I am not impressed. Are you some kind of robot? The guy takes pot shots at you. And you can't take a single shot back? We are only human. It is okay to shame people from time to time.
You know the history of shame and how effective it is.
I suppose this issue hits home because of my child hood and maybe I am projecting more than others.
I just find it weak not to take a stronger stance against what he did.
@@RickSICKO Metatron specifically said that if it is proven he harmed children, then any sympathy ends. This is still America; innocent until PROVEN guilty, with no need to create virtual vigilante groups.
@@trenae77 The problem is, the line has been crossed for a long time, that isn't even the worst thing he did.
@@trenae77 No one is talking about creating vigilante groups. It is simple to say he is a POS.
He has no right to wear any armor or larp as some "warrior".
His take was weak and limp.
I was watching his live stream last night. The guy was extremely defiant and doubling down saying he owes no one an apology for anything. He also had to delete so many superchats 😂
I watched that and I wouldn't be surprised if the video is suddenly privated soon
If I understand correctly, mods were removing personal information about his family or something similar.
@@daeraedor you are correct, and most likely overly hostile/trolling as well.
@@daeraedor Far from just personal details. Almost ever single a-logging comment was removed, in real time. A rogue mod posted screenshots of many being removed (and by whom) and it was almost entirely just protecting Nick from unkind comments.
@@darklelouchg8505 As somebody whom used to watch Nick pretty regularly(I think I dropped off either during or before the Depp trial he seemed to be becoming too much of a degenerate even for me) the old Nick would've welcomed overly hostile/trolling comments with glee.
He is unhinged... Popularity and money brings up what people usually keep bottled up (pun intended)
Fuck yeah, own your puns!!! be proud of them, even the bad ones.
Totally agree. My sweet husband turned into someone I no longer recognized. It continued to get worse, so I ran...
He was rich his whole life. Being in the public, being that popular and celebrated, imo that was the bigger problem. He came in contact with the wrong people, and did drugs.
Yes. Power does not corrupt. Power allows you to act as you wish. Thus the evil show themselves as such.
@@HerMajesty1 You never knew him then, grownups dont really change. I have told my girlfriend exactly what Id do with exactly how much power. With more and more power the worlds shackles on me are weakened and my true self becomes more clear and easy to see. And why would I be with someone who doesnt like who I am at heart? So I told her exactly what I was like and she loves me all the same.
You've for integrity and maturity. Great work man.
I appreciate that thank you sir
Metatron, do not open a box that you suspect has a Sonichu medalion inside. It's a genuine curse!
the curse is real..... anybody who denies it should wear the medalion to prove us wrong.
LOL. Such stupid superstition @@wackpendejo3000
Metatron is religious, so he's got God protecting him. ✝️
@wackpendejo3000 My guy... we have proof positive that God walks the Earth, for Liquid Chris hath worn the amulet many a year ago and now he's a GODDAMN SUCCESSFUL ONCOLOGICAL RESEARCHER, which is still the wildest part of the Chrischan story somehow.
@@dontshanonau1335I never considered that. Wow
I started watching Nick years ago when he covered the Vic Mignogna case and back then he was great. Good coverage, funny, and generally kept a clean show (little to no cursing and no crude humor). I don't know what happened since then but I stopped watching a year or two ago because his show just became so vulgar. It's very sad because I know he can be a cool upstanding person, but some evil got it's hands on him. I partly blame the internet and the chat regulars that he acquired. You fall in with bad people and you are going to become like those people.
Always appreciate your calm and balanced take Metatron.
We should pray for the Rekieta family, those kids are suffering for this and need healing, and he and his wife need help.
Honestly, Nick brought this on himself.
I wrote that as soon as nicks name was mentioned. I had not yet watched the video. I have already formed my opinion he is a sack of garbage.
@@charlesg5085based
He's blaming it on the government for goofy reason they don't like what he's saying which is so ridiculous since we have a good two years of him livestreaming his deterioration.
As a US lawyer, I agree that statements he us making on his channel would be admissable for his criminal case and the best course of action for him is to not discuss things publicly.
He is a lawyer. He knows this. At least should
Addiction messed with his mind. He's making lots of mistakes that a lawyer shouldn't be making.
Good luck on that because it's not going to happen.
Lots of lawyers who should know better still do incredibly stupid and self incriminating things.
To quote Ken White, if you're facing charges for something, "shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up."
Honest question, as a lawyer, would it be a bad thing for him to get rehab help
Wow never expected these worlds to collide
Same here!
What a crossover! 😲
It's the Chris Chan dimensional merge.
He hasn't hit rock bottom. That's the problem.
He's still high as a kite.
Rock bottom is a myth. You can always go lower.
My University experience gave me the first taste of how "fatherhood" makes you change your perspective. I was living in the dorms but was a bit older (27-28 among mostly 18-22 year olds) and many in my hall seemed to look to me for guidance. I myself was still a bit if an irresponsible manchild at the start of that experience but I began to realize how they might pattern their behavior on my own and I strived to not set a bad example.
Speaking to my own father, a retired deputy, about it, he told me I had entered a mindset similar to his own when he became a Sergeant. You're simultaneously one of the guys but also one they look up to. Once you reach thay point it's necessary to put some distance and realize you have to live and breathe steering others in a good direction.
A self destructive mentor begets a similar student.
I'm 53 and I look at you with respect.
You've been consistently thoughtful and fair for all the years I've been watching you, and I learn a lot about history bc of you.
Keep up the good work.
Rikieta's descent into alcoholism and other has been horrible to watch.
I hope he gets sober after this and cleans up.
He was fun to watch and seemed to hold a mindset i generally agree with.
I would disregard anything from nick posted in the last ~year as the alcohol speaking.
Such a shame.
Good response, great disclaimer at the start.
One of the best things to come of this will be uncivil law remaining sober.
Yeah, same. His earlier livestreams were all fun but at one point he started to go off the deep end
Being sober isnt the main problem when you are an alcohol addict, its to keep being sober.
As for every addiction the best way to prevent this is to not start
Nick is funnier and more insightful when he isn't in his cups.
Yeah for me it really became clear how bad it was when he had a stream where he figured it would be a good idea for people to pay him to drink. Then we have his whole degeneracy that followed after and while i didn't stick around long after the unbreaded stuff started, moving to good lawgic for the legal stuff and moral discussions as well as understanding some of jewish law when he brings it up, when i popped in it came more and more less tolerable for me. By the time he had Coomalot on I could hardly stand 5 mins with or without the goon gang on.
Hearing how everything has gone since, I still hold innocent until proven guilty but there is a mountain he has to get over to not be found guilty by any sane person. Especially with him continually putting his foot in his mouth. And even still with how much he's changed and how little of a character he is on stream there still are major concerns I have about how his family life is doing. I don't think his kids have it well even if there was some big grand conspiracy against him and all of this is faked just because of how he's been.
He should be in jail
Now there is info about his 9 year old tested positive for coke. Grim...
How sensitive are those tests? Since most Dollar bills are compromised could handling a particularly contaminated one be enough to get a positive result ?
@@David_randomnumber it was a hair follicle sample. It wasn’t just a brush up or second hand contact. It was in her system for months.
@@GoodArtorias Yeah but how much is necessary to test positive. My daughter isn't particularly thorough in washing hands before eating so would this microscopic amount be enough to be detected ?
@@David_randomnumber how about this,she tested at a coke level of 5000 out of a threshold of 500 in the test. Which suggests regular use. Took 5 seconds to find this.
@@David_randomnumber There was enough accumulated coke to suggest regular ingestion far beyond what's possible from any dollar bill handling.
He and his wife were also swinging with another couple in the same house their kids lived in. In some cases the other husband had to feed Nick's kids because Nick was either passed out from drugs and alcohol, or too busy messing around with the other woman.
Absolutely disgusting.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
@@KarlKapoMore like narcissism.
I have no problem with swinging if consensual for all parties but I do when you condemn others for doing the same thing, which he did
That's what that dude claims
As a father I agree with you regarding children being a priority. Though not an addiction, I am a motorcycle rider. When my children were young (through High School) I gave up riding 'cycles so that they would not lose their father to that dangerous sport. I do ride now that they are adults and could withstand the loss of their father. Children need to be the priority for parents.
I gave you a like because the video title is actualy informative and not clickbaity
I appreciate that Nick went out of his way to confirm the CPS document was real.
Now I can rest easy knowing Nick deserves everything that's coming to him.
This is an interesting social crossover.
I have no respect for a man that can't control his addiction (drugs and alcohol) especially with firearms and children around, the guy's a lawyer and still hasn't grown up?
he is grown up, fully. thats why he has all those things. the factor youre trying to identify is; what is his major malfunction? maybe hes wondering about living or not..
Nick grown up? Lol.
if they could control it, it wouldn't be an addiction. Thats kind of the entire point of the word.
sigh......
@@0x_hackerfren no its not. addiction describes the unsolicited desire for the thing, not your incapacity to resist. gtfo SIGH.
If they could control their addiction. they will not be addicts. It's in the definition.
And just recently, the 9 year old child of Rekieta, tested positive for cocaine (on their hair) which is absolutely appalling. No trace amounts of cocaine and/or other illicit substance should ever be found on a child, period.
Not *on* their hair. The purpose of the test is to see whether or not an individual has recently ingested a drug and metabolized it-- and as such it tests for the presence of that drug's *metabolites* in the hair.
@@somni2246 Thanks for clarifying that. It actually makes it worse, in the way you just described, due to the cocaine being ingested in order for it to metabolize all the way into the hair. It's just deplorable what this child and all the other kids were put through over the years.
@@australisborealispolaris477 I'm completely agreed with you on that-- Nick is a total scumbag who doesn't deserve to be a father
@@australisborealispolaris477 I'm completely agreed with you on that front. Nick is horrible person who doesn't deserve to be a father.
@@somni2246 Damn right brotha
Wow, this is a cross-over I was definitely not expecting.
One of Nick's children tested positive for cocaine...
yeah on a lvl that would be deadly to a child. Most likely Nick hugging his daughter and having coke from his nose rub onto her hair.
Omg really?
@@bentogelthat would've affected the other kids too, no?
@@slomnim no nothing happened with it
@@slomnim also I've seen Nick hug that kid on stream multiple times so I think thats something she liked to do especially
Up until recently Rekieta had a painting of liquor bottles behind him. I spent about twenty minutes looking through his channel, and I do not think that he is a nice person, and I suspect he may also be better at getting likes and subscribes from other awful people than he is at getting legal clients. Schadenfreude.
We support you Matron. Your channel is awesome and go Italy! Some of best food I have ever had was in that country and some of the most beautiful art and architecture in the world. There is a reason my structures like the Pantheon still stand. Keep rocking!
The sonichu curse is real! look it up!
Never heard of that guy before. I appreciate how you keep your civility all throughout your video.
As someone who currently protects a relative against themselves, I cannot feel sympathy for addicts with kids. There is an unavowed selfishness with these people, because they impose their burdens on people they’re supposed to look after.
Nick put on a Sonichu Medallion and his life has gone to absolute shit since he made that mistake
What is a Sonichu Medallion? I like to learn things I never heard about before. Love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤🎉
@@eleniminas7742 Christian Weston Chandler (known online as Chris-chan) Created Sonichu a hybrid of sonic and pikachu. He created a medallion with Sonichu's face and wore it in youtube videos. With the disaster of a life Chris-chan had there is a superstition that a demon is possesing the medallion. Rekeita got a Sonichu medallion and showed it off on stream a few years back so people joke (or maybe they actually believe) that the character Magi-Chan is possessing the medallion and it ruined Rekeita's life.
Geno Samuel has a great documentary series about Chris-chan's life if you want to look into the background of the person who made the medallion.
@@eleniminas7742 - My limited explanation, might be errors. There's a guy called Chris Chan involved in a lot of nasty things, including graping his own mother. He's making "sonichu" medallions, cross between sonic from sonic the hedgehog, and pikachu from pokemon. He curses them with Cherokee indian black magic. Catastrophes have happened to everyone he sent one to.
The worst part about the whole thing for me is Nick's and his wife's flippant attitude towards their kids.
If you're single and childless and want to destroy your life with excessive substance abuse then fine. I don't care.
But when you have kids, you should damn well shape up
This was very kindly put. Genuinely compassionate. There is another lesson here, though: never put on the Sonichu medallion.
What is the sonichu medallion?
@@michaelwarenycia7588 a cursed eldritch abomination… Chrischan wore the first one. Replicas have been mailed to RUclipsrs who donned them and had their lives spiral into ruin afterwards on several occasions… Mr. Rekieta being one of them.
And here I was, thinking I could not have any more respect for you than I already had, but you proved me wrong! ❤
It's beautiful how you are concerned about this situation and particularly with the kids, taking time to spread awareness ❤
This has been a very frustrating case. Drug addiction as a topic is quite unpleasant.
Used to watch him quite a bit, but missed that particular instance. Hearing that he dissed you like that makes me even more sad.
I hope his family comes out of this well. A sad state of affairs.
If I remember, it had little to do with Metatron himself. Don’t think Nick even heard of him before. It was more just one person with a set of social rules laughing at how someone following a different code came across. Not that the way Nick treated it was a good thing, but it was not with ill intent.
Always admire how nuanced and gracious you decide to be
Former fan of Nick (Ric ate uh) here only started your video but already you are hitting on something most people who didn't watch him for a long time don't understand. Yes he was polite in the comments, but that is because he is the very definition of duplicitous. He is also extremely passive aggressive. The nuances take is that he and his wife deserve to be un alived for the complete neglect and abuse of their five children, it is 100% confirmed btw, not just alleged. He himself verified that a leaked CPS document in which his 9 yo tested positive for cocaine was real. While he has not been convicted he will be. There is no nuance to those who have been following him since before he got big and through his fall of mythical proportions. For reference I was watching Nick back when he had just over 1000 subs. I found in him a kindred as he is one year younger than me, his wife and him had been married for one year less than I and my wife, we both have five kids. He portrayed himself as a Christian conservative (he is not either) as well. In short transfer all the compassion to the kids as you said, he and his wife deserve none.
what the... I was just watching LM cover some of the Rekieta stuff and Metatron makes a video? What a strange crossover
Also watched the stream
You're like the nicest and most compassionate person I legit watch and I just wanna say I appreciate your logic and understanding of things. It's a breath of fresh air especially on YT
Bro, there are old men that are homeless and have been for decades.
That guy hasn't hit rock bottom, yet. If he hasn't wondered how he'll stay dry, on a stormy night, he's not hit rock bottom.
I never heard of this guy but I agree with you I hate the term influencer. The only people they influence are idiots with no mind of their own. From what you have presented I do hope he gets help, be that going to jail or some form of counseling.
Nate the Lawyer has some great videos that are very balanced.
Wow wasn’t expecting this!
Thank you for saying allegedly. People forget we are innocent until proven guilty. And since government itself is very corrupt, can it always be trusted?
Yesterday documents leaked that Rekieta's youngest daughter tested positive for cocaine in her system. He fired up a stream yesterday being angry that the document was "leaked" (they're public records). He will never "hit rock bottom", he id a trust fund kid that inherited millions of dollars he doesn't need to stream, he just does it because he wants attention.
Nope. Not his youngest daughter. His youngest is 6. And CPS documents aren’t public.
@@halfirish8056Cool so his 9 year old daughter tested positive for cocaine. Go noseguard Hedonism 2
If Turkey Tom's video implication is correct, that "trust fund" money may have been embezzlement.
I hope he gets jail time.
I can't speak for people who've been through this but I have seen how my mother side of the family came out because of toxic family conditions. Fortunately we were raised by my father in the early years, so I count my blessings.
He should have never put on that sonichu necklace!!!
Beautifuly & graciously said, Metatron.
It's been going downhill, especially since he surrounded himself with people who pretty much enabled his down spiral descent, "The Content Creator got Influenced". Then they in turn pretty much left him to his devices while he's doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down.
10:00 Compassion doesn't have to mean you condone what someone is doing. It just means you genuinely want him to get better.
( it's different from empathy, which would be to feel bad for the situation he's in).
In that sense compassion need not be limited, and your compassion for him doesn't conflict with your compassion for his kids ( they are in fact aligned, because him doing better would also benefit his kids)
I’ve only heard of this dude via YT. Sad that children are in the middle of this mess. Best wishes for the children and his family who are stuck with this daily. It’s never just one person hurt by addiction.
You are an honorable man Metatron.
This is the consequence of hedonism, there is no free path to pleasure, you will pay the price. Rekieta is the perfect example of this, learn constraint and understand that there is a price to pay. He wasn't just an addict, he partook in extremely hedonistic, disgusting practices. He said racist things, said horrible things to someone who was on the verge of suicide. He did evil things. Most of which were on stream, his discord and other mediums.
I hope he finds help and repents for his actions, for his children's sake.
What makes me angry is that the Lawyers in Nicks circle who have been honest about the case and penalties and probable outcomes, based on their actual criminal defense experience, are called ungrateful and traitorous. Nick tore other peoples lives apart for his channel and then gets upset when people analyze his DOUBLE life
Holy crap my favorite history youtubers are crossing over with my love of lolcows.
Chris was right, the dimensional merge is happening
I think you did a good job of toning down the drama. I am a subscriber of Nick. I too wish he gets the help if he needs it. Things can get very blown out of proportion on RUclips. Waiting for the facts is wise.
I last watched him several years ago before he made it big but he seemed like an alcoholic then already. Sad to see what he became now.
Always found Rekeita unpleasant but was very shocked to see how he looks these days.
Nate the Lawyer has gone over some of the court documents in this case; it does not look good. A few times Nick went off camera, came back on wiping white powder off his nose. People in his comments mentioned seeing it. Like you, I hope he gets his act together for himself and most of all for his children. Don't want them taken into fostercare or anything like that. I am afraid he is facing jail time, and the kids' mother too. (Cannot remember if they are married).
According to the KCHHS document leaked last night, the children are in foster care now. Page 7 "ORDER: 1. The children chall remain in the protective care of KCHHS for the purpose of placement with an appropriate licensed foster care provider." ...because they stated above that, the Nick and Kayla Rekieta are refusing steps to let the children return home sooner. "The Parents have revoked ROIs, have not been submitting to drug testing, and have not allowed KCHHS full access to the home".
They are married, both of them, are in legal trouble.
@@briareus3 They're with the grandparents but under the care of CPS. Just because CPS is taking legal responsibility doesn't mean a child is placed with strangers. They try to place them with family if at all possible.
I can truly see the educator in you today❤️❤️
HOLY COW even the metatron is covering this that is soooo wild man
I found you when you started ,I CANT BELIEVE ITS THAT MANY YEARS AGO! I found you because i resesrched 1st century Roman cavalry in the middle east. I am working on a book/ novel about the way Tiberious protected the persona l wealth that Augustus inhereted from Anthony and Cleopatra. Im glad i finally listened. How some lawyer could pick a fight with you astounds me. Small world doesnt come close to explaining how you were caught up with a lawyer i watchef because his live streams of two trials were well done. Below ,i left a comment. Because i couldn't fathom how far people go for views.you have become too populsr to advise me on first century cavalry as i oncd hoped.
Please know, my admiration for your work has not dimmed
Im glad i calmed down and trusted you to explain. Thank you for all you do. First draft of book will be sent to you
Best take I've heard on this so far. Couple of things, the way this has went down with how the warrant was handled to the "leaked" document that isn't confirmed to even how the arrest report was written seem to be painting a deliberate negative message. For starters the arrest report made it sound like the house was in really bad shape with drugs in plane sight and firearms everywhere, but when more information came out it seems they found 1 firearm underneath the bed in the master bedroom and the drugs were also in that area. In the USA just because you posses drugs and firearms at the same time doesn't mean it automatically enhances your charges, in order for that to happen both items need to be found on you in public. The timing of all of this comes directly after he was publicly disparaging the same judge that signed the warrant to have his house searched. Also the "probable cause" that was used as the excuse for the warrant was not handled correctly by the local police as the process of a walk in report of impropriety is supposed to be to have a bunch of investigation to validate the report before a warrant can even be issued with CPS involved, not go straight to a search warrant as seems to have happened in this case. I absolutely believe Nick has a substance abuse problem with both alcohol and now cocaine and he needs help and guidance to get that sorted out, but how all of this is being handled reeks of corruption from a Judge that has a personal vendetta against him.
Yeah that's not true. A lot of laws went in because of gangs about possession of a firearms and drugs. You do not need to be in public only. Otherwise a lot of gang members wouldn't have been convicted of those same charges. The search warrant wasn't just people saying things. They went over his streams in the document including the white powder on his nose and his clear usage while streaming. They also used Aaron talking about doing drugs, that he'd been in the house (as shown by them streaming together from his house). It was a lot more than 2 court ordered reporters. His wife's sister also spoke to them concerned about the children's wellbeing. Nat the lawyer, who is a former cop, prosecutor, and current defense attorney, went over the official search warrant in detail. It's a pile of evidence.
Edit: You can argue the constitutionality of the gun charge, but it's been upheld by the courts since the 90s so unless you can get lucky at the Supreme Court, which is extremely expensive, it ain't going away. I can tell you got your information from Barnes. The problem with him is he views everything as a constitutional issue and even if something has tons of case law behind it, that if he thinks it violates it then it clearly does and needs to be changed. Which is fine if you've got a client that can withstand being in prison the years it takes to even get the Supreme Court appeal and the money to do it.
It is irresponsible to keep a gun under the bed, especially if it's loaded. The law says that a gun should be kept unloaded, locked up where a child can't get to it, and the ammo kept separately, also where a child can't get to it. As for the daughter, as someone else stated, the report was public information, it was not "leaked," and it has been confirmed.
First, it's not inherently irresponsible to have a firearm under your bed.
Second, what you describe is called a 'safe storage' law and isn't the standard in the US. The standard various by state.
Third, the report on the child is a government document, true. However simply because it is a government document does not make it public record for all purposes and processes. Information regarding minors is generally kept under very tight information controls and it is typically illegal to disseminate such documents without court release. As would be the case with these documents, and so yes, it was leaked. No ifs, and or buts about it.
Try learning the laws in the US before opining on topics you know nothing about.
Very good! I'm glad that you said something that will help this person if he is intelligent. Especially if he has children and he is in a position to influence young people. You may have saved his life as well.
It is sad. I have been following you AND Nick for many years (I also live fairly near to Nick). I just hope he improves himself and corse corrects quickly if ANY of these things are true.
I hadn't been watching him much this year (his content changed, and I became less interested) and it's been hard to see someone you could admire (he does/did have a lot of admirable traits) sink down so disappointingly.
12:50
Agreed! Fix your stuff before coming back.
That's the greatest sin, imho. A lot of folks DID admire Nick to the point he was a positive force in their lives. They respected his life more than he did, it seems...
@@AikurisuNot a sin. Responsibility only ever comes as a result of taking it upon yourself.
What Nick put his kids through? Absolutely.
Parasocial relationship with fans? As great as it is that Nick had positive impact on people (myself included), he did not owe online people any kind of behavior. Dealing with “our” disappointment is on us, not him.
Lucky him. He’s got more than enough on his plate.
@@skycastrum5803 lol, it was a figure of speech about it being the greatest sin. More like the saddest thing to come out of this, aside from what it's done to his kids, of course. They're the true victims of his and Kayla's idiocy.
Such a double standard. He treats other people like crap, but then wants everyone else to treat him with kid gloves. The chickens are coming home to roost.
As a father and grandfather, I fully agree with this message.
Very civil and reasonable response.
Speaking of "only using facts and evidence" a legal document was leaked showing how his 9 year old tested positively for coke use using a follicle test. Within the 500 range. That is regular use.
Hope he gets what he deserves if his cell mate ever finds that out.
*5000 range. 500 is the legal cut off.
Word of Wisdom for the win!
There's no rock bottom,
not as long as there is a shovel.
Nick Rekieta always talked smack, it's part of his brand. The only time I know he spoke about you, he seemed to be making fun of you for being pretentious. I don't think he actually had any malice towards you; it's his personality to make fun of people, even if he likes them. He's even encouraged his audience to make fun of him, and he's read free non-superchat messages of mine on stream where I've made fun of him.
That being said, he really needs to get clean and take care of his family.
Younger sections and people who are more easily swayed, to be fair. I know 80 year olds who believe things that theyre told without critical consideration.
That's why you absolutly need to deal with your own problem before having a relationship or kids.
The "when i will be married or when i will have kids it's gonna get better" is 100% a false belief.
The term 'influencer' originated in around ~2012 if my memory serves me right.
RUclipsrs were becoming a thing add companies started to interact with. It was a new thing and growing a lot, but they didn't really have a way to categorize this type of media/creator so they coined the term 'influencer'.
(my source is the Co-optional podcast discussing it at the time, their experience with add/sponsorship companies)
Some people are jerks and when they’re using they’re complete, snarky narcissists 🤔
The thing is, he's very visibly happy to not have his kids around. There's not much incentive for him to get his act together.
When it comes to addiction i would rather see a rehabilitation sort of program offered instead of criminal prosecution. I genuinely hope that if it is true he gets help not prison.
What a classy guy.
I appreciate thanks
I come from a family of hunters (all but my mom) and while there were many firearms in our home and - admittedly - we were allowed to USE said firearms at a young age, there were strict regulations. We were not allowed to have them out and use them unsupervised until we had taken and passed our Hunter's Safety Course. And even then, either one or both parents had to know where we were and what we were doing at the time with them. They were kept in a specific closet that was locked at all times, and each firearm had its own case within the closet. I mentioned that my mom didn't hunt; she set rules about how the firearms were carried - NEVER pointed at anyone, even in jest, always aimed directly up or down when carrying. Honestly, the only time we used any of them was either to actively hunt or for target practice. And living in a hunting community, these rules were NOT unique to our household, which is why it irritates me so much when Gun Control people come at hunters. The level of accountability we hold ourselves to is almost military-grade. We are responsible not only for our safety, but for the safety of those around us.
Do you really think the gun control advocates care about what you do with your guns? 😂 They don’t want anyone except the government to have guns.
I was a navy party animal until I had kids. Once my first was born I stopped drinking at home because you can't respond to the cries of "Daddy help!" when you're drunk or hung over. Parental responsibility is a big deal.
9:11 - Very nice thoughts but really not applicable to Rekieta. Nick is the essential, "better to die standing than live on your knees." Which, fair viewpoint for a nebulous defamation case where others might seek to exploit or extort money through frivolous lawsuits but as more information is revealed through his current court documents, he's willing to sacrifice 6 other lives for that same stance. All for being caught with illegal substances which is a personal choice he and Kayla made - not his children. Maybe he's right, maybe being Canadian makes me weak but I couldn't make that decision if I had kids and made a similar life choices.
25 years if for repeat offender and higher amount, for Rekeita case, which is first time offender, the sentencing guideline for him is 48 months, and there is a good chance he could make plea deal with probation and no jail.
However, now that he couldn't keep his mouth shut and start accusing gov. official (CPS agent) things, a plea deal with reduced sentence might be off the table now.
He also petitioned for a new judge and was granted his request, but got an even more stern judge on drug and child neglect cases.
@@nessunolinux Yup. He is his own worst enemy.
You always lead by example. The younger people are looking up to you. Whether you want them to, or not.
Dude, you have no idea how deep the balldo rabbithole goes...
Very civil and fair response. You took the higher ground.
If the police report from the home visit is true, if the report showing the drug test results of his nine year old are true, and if he continues to stream and talk aboht these subjects, he is most certainly going to prison. Especially after her petitioned for a new judge and got one that known for being especially hard on drug and child neglect cases.
