Mike Rossi hits "rock bottom", vows to "become a better person" after being arrested for "simple assault" of woman

Giving Mike "the business" was gold:

In the grand scheme of things this is a cautionary tale of a wedding DJ runner who may have cheated himself and a wedding videographer who may have cheated newlyweds and their all out shaming, doxing, and public pillorying and their downright refusal to admit any mistakes. Charges brought against both, public feud/obsession with a newscaster, a fake game show ambush, and the untimely demise of one and the descent into alcohol and violence of the other. This thing went out of control and people got hurt.

I wish for all letsrunners ambition to improve and the peace to be content with life.

Did Mike punch Cecilly, his wife, or another chick?

And this website dishonors his legacy by taking down the thread that made him a legend. Restore the thread, please.

There was also that legacy of him liking confederates and not liking American soldiers and vets. Not to go too into it but the legacy was a bit tortured.

I get the sentiment but here's the truth. I posted civilly on the original thread discussing his cheating. He searched my identity out and proceeded with threats of violence and continued insults against my family. I did nothing to this man but post anonymously on this site, keeping personal insults out of my dialogue. It went out of control because he led it there and he is the only one that can end it.

Least we forget, Mike Rossi, woman beater, honoring the Boston Marathon victims:

This is Cecily Tynan- meteorologist for Channel 6, Action News in Philly. Mikey never punched her, but I bet he would if given a chance.

End what?

Mike posted death threats to many. Death threats.

That is what closed the original thread. How can anyone offer sympathy to someone who wanted to kill other posters?

I do wish the original thread would be restored with this one merged into it, but satisfied we have a place to illuminate the destructive Mike Rossi.

Rossi and Floyd Mayweather are both woman beaters.

Rossi made numerous premeditated threats and slander here and elsewhere. A drunk does not do such acts that requires so much cognitive thinking. Rossi is telling lies yet again so that he doesn't get thrown in jail.

Good question. I really don't even know what this is. In my life, and I suspect in many others, you make a mistake admit what you did apologize and move on. If you are the type to not admit your wrongdoing then just shut up and move on with your life. What kind of maniac searches people out and threatens them for being called out on an anonymous site. He should apologize to all he wronged , come clean about Via and try and live a quiet life. End all of this madness. Remember the personal attacks against him came much later than his attacks against others.

Thank you

Some thoughts, observations and suggestions about Mike Rossi's post below:

http://imgur.com/a/TkG6M#Pnve5bU

I have officially hit rock bottom. - Actually your descent started 2.5 years ago and in all honesty, you have not yet hit rock bottom, it just may feel that way because of your hubris and thinking you are above the lectures you gave on Facebook and elsewhere, like another infamous liberal lecturer, former President Obama. He liked to lecture the public but often didn't follow his own lectures. You were akin to his do as I say, not as I do because you felt and believed that you could anything with no recourse, which for you meant, resorting to violence, lying and cheating.

It's been a hellish past 2 1/2 years and despite my positive public persona it's taken a toll on my family and I. - You once espoused about the lessons that your children learned on the trip to Boston. One of the takeaways here is that there are no shortcuts to any place worth going or any goal worth achieving. You cheated and then lied about during these 2.5 years, leaving a wake of destruction for you, your family and countless others. You positive public persona was another lie bestowed upon others at their expense along with your personal attacks, threats and stalking. The toll is solely a result of your own actions, words and choices.

Most of it I brought on myself and I take full responsibility - Actually, you brought it solely (not most) on yourself. No one else helped. It started with your self righteous letter to the principal, who was doing her job according to the Township policies and simply carrying out her professional duties. She was following the rules, rules that you believed you were above, a common theme in your life. In other words, she had and has integrity and ethics. That was the catalyst, but what ignited your downfall, was first cheating and the perpetual lying about it, threatening anyone who questioned you and stalking those who dare ask legitimate questions. Worse, you believed your own lies which fed into your boldness and blind hubris. As for taking full responsibility, well, so far all you have done is said you take responsibility, which given your history of lies, leaves a lot to be desired. Talk is cheap. Actions speaks louder than words. If you really take full responsibility, now is the time to admit that you cheated at VIA Marathon. The public is a very forgiving body. Saying that you take full responsibility is easy, demonstrating it though is the hard part. Time will tell, starting with September 18.

To mask the pain I reached for the bottle and it became an addiction. - Yes, lets blame alcohol instead of yourself. Once again, it is someone or something else. That is the easy way out. Let's blame alcohol for your violence, which in all honesty, had you not assaulted someone this past weekend, in other words, gotten caught, you would not be taking "responsibility" and taking forever to deactivate your Facebook page. Typical I am sorry that I got caught, not sorry for my actions and words!

Now I have to change. Completely - Yes, now you have to because you were caught and given an ultimatum by you know who and you know why. As do we. But it is "you have to change" instead of that you want to change. There is a difference and it is not semantics.

I am sorry to anyone, friends and enemies alike, for anything I said or did to hurt you. Some of the things I've done and said are troubling to me. -

Saying that is one thing, demonstrating it is another thing. "Some"? Confess that you cheated and lied about it, then let's talk.

I am going to fight to become a better person and the man my family deserves. - Fight, huh? Appropriate word choice. It starts with admitting that you cheated and lied because that will dog you forever until it is put to rest and the same demons that you allege earlier will still be there and you are likely to fall off the proverbial wagon again when challenged or asked about VIA. Confess for not only your sake, but more importantly, you family's.

I'll be getting off social media to work on getting better. - Before you do, post an admission that you cheated and lied. Otherwise no matter what you do, that will be there, and you will face it for the rest of your life and you will struggle with staying better.

Now that it is out that you hit your wife, Rock Bottom, everyone finally sees that your public persona was nothing more than more lies littered with hypocrisy. All the bragging about this and that, and trying to convince everyone how much you cherished your wife or bride was a lied capped off by assaulting her and then trying to blame alcohol and everyone else. You recently posted on Facbook several times that when one erases history, history is likely to repeat itself. Yet you have deleted yet another one of your many Twitter accounts and your several Facebook profiles. Hypocrite.

It is time for you to talk less and demonstrate your sincerity..........

Confess that you cheated at VIA. The public can be and is very forgiving. But it is you who needs to take that step first and the rest will follow.

Just as psycho as it was the first time you posted it.

Curious as to what you are anyone think are the odds Mike does this? He knows Via and Barb are cowardly and will not DQ him. In fact he was confident they would never do this.

In fact the Via org is no better and actually far worse than any local 5k. They have less talent and understanding of running, only wanting to line their pockets. They don't even really care about the disabled.

Hi Mike!

The title of his book: Mike Rossi: My greatest hits.

get political wrote:

he is being charged with hitting a woman? Why don't they charge all the men in Atifada and BLM when they punch women?

Because it doesn't fit the lib narrative.
