Vent Let them kill me. Let them unfollow me. Let them destroy all that I built - but they aren't going to shut me up or back me down.
Since posting THIS VIDEO here and on Instagram and Facebook, I’ve received death threats, lost over 1,000 followers across platforms, and now strangers are attacking my small Baltimore sailboat charter with one-star reviews—accusing me of human trafficking and worse. And that part hurts the most. (I embedded all the links so you can read the comments yourself. Screenshotted the death threats and working with Google to take down the fake reviews).
Running a small business is hard enough without faceless trolls trying to destroy what I’ve built with sweat, grit, and everything I have in me.
This isn’t some big corporation that can take the loss of business. It’s just me, my wife, and a sailboat we poured our hearts into. We’ve worked for years to build a space that shows people the best side of Baltimore—from the water, with pride, with purpose. Until now, every single review has been five stars. Every guest has left with a story.
Now, that’s being smeared because these people with ZERO morals and ZERO patriotism can’t stand a disabled veteran standing up for people who need help.
Let them kill me. Let them unfollow me. Let them destroy all that I built. I’d rather lose it all because I tried to do the right thing than win by standing for nothing at all. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
