Dr. Roque and his son Joseph were arrested for hacking into a website that was helping coordinate a recall election against him. the website "Recallroque.com" was only up and running for five days before the servers puked. Well, now we know why:
In February, Joseph Roque was able to access the e-mail account of one of the recall organizers and used that to hack into Go Daddy, the internet service provider that was hosting the website RecallRoque.com. Prosecutors say he then cancelled the account without authorization, taking it down.
The actions of Dr. Felix Roque in threatening recall supporters are almost as bad as the hacking allegedly done by his no-count son. Listen to some of THESE "threats" issued by Roque to recall supporters:
...he had the connections to take down the recall website by “highly placed government officials and that everyone would pay for getting involved against Mayor Roque.”
“A friend of mine. he works in the—I can’t tell you — three letters — CIA. You know. That's how I get information. So what I’m doing is not very kosher.”
But wait, there's MORE from Dr. Felix Roque's dreamworld where he alone is king:
*After learning that another individual contributed more damaging information to the RecallRoque.com website, the mayor e-mailed him and threatened to refer him to the IRS for a tax audit.
*Later in the month, Roque sent a text message to his son asking him to look at the Facebook page of another individual tied to the opposition against him to “let me know what we can do.
We'll give anyone their day in court (and Dr. Felix Roque is about to have a few of them it would seem) but this is just heinous. Does Dr. Roque think winning a recall election makes him some kind of tin horn dictator? Does he think he's simply allowed to behave like this?
The website is still down as of this morning.
