Raymond Knez Jr. Is An Ass
February 5, 2009 by Jaded
Raymond E. Knez Jr.
Chippewa Falls, WI–Authorities in Chippewa County got a phone call in the early morning hours on Wednesday, January 28th. They were asked to do a welfare check at the home of Raymond Knez Jr. Upon arrival, deputies were approached by an 11-year-old child. The little girl told the officers that earlier that morning, Knez shot and killed six of the family’s pets. If that wasn’t bad enough, he killed all but one of them inside his trailer home, while six children looked on.
On January 27, one of the family’s dogs killed another in a fight. Knez’s girlfriend, 30-year-old Chrystalyn Adcock, was pissed off at the remaining dogs after that incident. Trying to appease her, Knez told her that he would take the dogs to a pound or shoot them while the kids weren’t looking. Faced with a difficult decision, Knez spent the next 11 hours drinking. He told deputies that he had consumed 26-29 cans of beer in that period of time. He even traveled to a local tavern to discuss his dilemma and gather opinions from others. He left the bar thinking he could legally shoot the dogs. So, at 5:30 a.m. the morning of the 28th, that’s what he did.
He went home, grabbed his .280-caliber rifle, went outside and shot one of the dogs. He carried the dog’s body into the trailer and showed it to Adcock. Then, for some bizarre reason, he decided to off the rest of the pets in the house. He found one of the kids’ dogs, stepped on it in the hallway, and shot it. He started hunting for more animals, and even recruited one of the children to help round them up. He found one cat, stepped on it, pinning it to the floor, and shot it. He grabbed another cat, held it out in his left hand and shot it with his right. By the time his alcohol-fueled rampage was over, four cats and two dogs were dead.
There were six children, ages 10-14, in the residence at the time. All were terrified and crying. After the shooting, the children were told by Adcock to go to school and not tell anybody what happened…she didn’t want Knez to get in trouble because ‘he’s a good guy.’ Oh yeah, he’s a real fuckin’ charmer, you stupid twat. The 11-year-old was too upset to go to school, so she was allowed to stay home…but only if she cleaned up the dead animals. Adcock was too busy to do it herself, she had an errand to run, she had to go buy more beer.
Knez was found on the property and was arrested. He was released on $1,000 bail Thursday on the condition that he have no contact with Adcock or any of the children. Knez made his first court appearance on the 3rd, and was advised on the charges filed against him. He faces three misdemeanor counts of mistreating animals, three felony counts of mental harm to a child, felony first-degree reckless endangerment, and misdemeanor possession of a firearm while intoxicated. The charges carry a combined maximum sentence of 53 years. His next court appearance is set for MarchMarch reviews
. You can read the criminal complaint here.
Adcock is looking at one count of felony mental harm to a child, for making the 11-year-old clean up the mess. She could face up to 12 years behind bars and $25,000 in fines, but I see a slap on the wrist in her future. All six children have been placed in protective custody.
Special2bme has this one covered in the forums.

WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM??? I can not even imagine hurting my animals, let alone to kill them, anything, in front of CHILDREN OR ANYONE, AND THEN MAKE THE ELEVEN YEAR OLD CLEAN THAT UP, those kids will be scarred for life, nice going to ray and adcock, NICE GOING YOU TWO PIECES OF SHIT, you know what would be justice here would be this:
TAKE THE MEANEST LARGE CATS, TIGERS, COUGARS, LEOPARDS, WHATEVER YOU ENJOY, AND PUT THESE TWO IDIOT WORTHLESS PIECES OF GARBAGE IN THE CENTER OF A ROOM AND THEN RELEASE THE WILD BEASTS, ALL TEN OF THEM, MAKE SURE THEY REALLY FEEL THE SCRATCHES, AND WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS AND THE TWO WILL HAVE NO WEAPONS THIS TIME…..

Five minutes alone….that’s all I want.
7:39 am on February 5th, 2009
Thank God those kids are not with those monsters-hopefully they will not be returned to them.
7:48 am on February 5th, 2009
I can’t believe she thinks he is anything remotely close to a “good guy”. She must have been matching him beer for beer. Using her scale, my husband is a god… but no way am I telling him that.
8:04 am on February 5th, 2009
thus is so disturbing. on so many levels.
and how big was this freaking trailor?? jesus.
I hope he never sees those children ever again.
god. not the kitties
:(:(:(:(:(:(
8:40 am on February 5th, 2009
Hope these kids get the help that they are going to desperately need. More than that I pray they never have to see these two fuck-ups again! What a dispicable act!! I am just waiting for someone to come on here today to defend this bastard!! And the bastards bitch!
9:19 am on February 5th, 2009
She had to clean them up!!!!! My heart is hurting right now. I know all your animal lovers can agree pets are family and this must of been so devistating for those children. I lost my german shepherd back around labor day and I still tear up every once in a while. It was one of the worst things I had to go through. God I don’t know what else to say……..
9:28 am on February 5th, 2009
I can’t believe he’s out on $1,000 bucks. And only charged with misdemeanors? Are you freaking kidding me? This bastard should be shot like the animals. I hope he gets the shit kicked out of him by someone and soon. Show that on the news!
And the mother, she needs to be in prison. If they get these kids back it’ll be a tragedy. Can one imagine what they’ll do to the daughter who told the authorities? God help her.
I hope she is never sent back to that hell hole of a trailer with those two trashy fuckers.
9:56 am on February 5th, 2009
I don’t know if she is the mother of any of the children. It’s been reported that she’s his girlfriend of 8 years. I do know that some of the kids are his…they could all be his, I don’t know. The 11-year-old girl is his daughter…it was her mother (his ex) that called police in to do a welfare check.
10:15 am on February 5th, 2009
$1,000 STINKING DOLLARS?
holy hell.
Where are the other charges?
Future killer of humans right here, if he hasn’t done it already.
What a disgusting, vile, miserable existence for those poor children who probably don’t know how much better their lives should be. Cooped up in a tiny smelly trailer with two obvious monsters and who knows what else.
I agree with RedShoes, this is wrong on so many levels.
Hard to believe one can do something like this and pay $1,000 and get back drinkin’ again. Too bad this douche doesn’t have a computer, I’d like to go shart on his myspace.

In a childs mind, a pet can be as essential and important as a parent. In so many ways, pets are where children begin to learn to be parents. Giving them chores to do such as feeding and cleaning up the litter boxes teaches responsibility and caring. To shoot a pet infront of a child is essentially teaching a child it is OK to kill the ones you should love just because you have grown tired of them or they become an inconvenience. Growing up the way I did, we had a couple animals, pets to me, that had to be put down, but my Dad was very careful to explain to me the WHYs and he certainly didn’t do it in front of me. These two have no regard for life and certainly no idea what it means to be a parent.
10:20 am on February 5th, 2009
Right there with you. They are going to need it to prevent them from one day doing the same thing. “Daddy did it so……….”.
Thank the Fates the children were not hit by ricochettes. This could have ended a lot worse.
10:22 am on February 5th, 2009
I didn’t even bother looking for a Myspace….didn’t figure he was smart enough for the upkeep.
11:20 am on February 5th, 2009
Hell yeah!
11:42 am on February 5th, 2009
Visualize that. After 29 beers? In a trailer? I am thankful that he didn’t accidentally shoot any of the children! Good Lord.

hotreadingmama…love the avatar. Big fan of knotwork myself.
12:38 pm on February 5th, 2009
?????? A drunk (more like alcholic) went to a bar to seek advice??? Oh, come on! This guy is a worthless piece of shit. When I want advice, I ALWAYS run to a bar with a bunch of drunks to get their opinions on what I should do. It’s always logical and senible. Please!!!!
12:43 pm on February 5th, 2009
You CAN judge a book by its cover!! My mother was wrong!
1:19 pm on February 5th, 2009
I hate to know what her idea of a rotten guy would be, stupid twat….*Shivers*
1:49 pm on February 5th, 2009
He is either a really good shot or he has the Devil’s own luck.
Poor kids. I hope this becomes a turning point to them. The day they escaped their fate, the trailer, their poor excuse for a father……..
3:41 pm on February 5th, 2009
ITA Redshoes, IMO, it’s wrong on every level imaginable, and on some levels that I can’t imagine ATM, due to my outrage.
Not big enough, I’ll bet.
FFS, have these insipid shitstains never heard of the pound?
Yes, the pound puts down unwanted animals, and I don’t agree with destroying any creature just because one has grown tired of it, but at least the pound doesn’t do this in front of young children, in their own home, and then insist that they clean up after the bloody slaughter’s aftermath.
And the $1000.00 bail is a fucking joke too, IMO.
Where I live, shooting a dog will get you 7 years in the big house, and I hope this drunken bastard gets all of the 53 years he is facing.
Those poor children will be haunted by this for the rest of their lives; I hope that they all get some wonderful new loving parents, who will help them to get counseling and try to put as much of this horrible incident as far behind themselves as is humanly possible.
5:40 pm on February 5th, 2009
He’s a drunken ass and looks like an ass. I hope these kids get some help and be taken care of by a family who will love them and care for them properly. DAMN 29 Beers I’m surprise piss wasn’t coming out his ears, mouth, ass and of course the obvious.
6:02 pm on February 5th, 2009
OMG I have a small rescue and right now am sitting here looking at my dog sleeping at my feet and my 11 cats/kittens sleeping on their heating pads (yes they are spoiled!!)!! And just the thought of someone hurting any of them makes me sick to my stomach!! I hope that POS and the Mrs.POS get what they have coming to them.And I hope those 6 children get some therapy and far,far away from the losers!!
7:19 pm on February 5th, 2009
DAMNIT This is all kinds of f’d up. Theres also gotta be a lot more f’d up stuff going down in that trailer than this and thats pretty f’ing sad…scary even.
I hope these kids get out and can stay out of this crazy, boozed up, psycho household!
8:59 pm on February 5th, 2009
Bless you!! We have 2 rescues but since we rent, we really can’t have anymore pets.
I love my dogs and I will kick a mo’ fo’s ass if they hurt them.
I can’t even think of someone doing that to a child’s pet and making them clean it up. I think I just puked a little in my mouth. Bastard.
7:34 am on February 6th, 2009
26-29 cans of beer?
And if you look closely into his eyes, you can see his two brain cells rolling around in there. I wish there were a picture of his stupidass wife, too.
2:54 pm on February 6th, 2009
HE’S FACING A POSSIBLE 53 YEARS AND THEY LET HIS ASS OUT ON A PIDDLY-ASS $1000???????????? (can you say they will be moving soon and jumping bail?)
WTF!!!
yEH- THIS IS A GOOD GUY OUT IN THE STICKS BECAUSE HE WILL SUPPORT HER AND ALL HER DAMN KIDS IF SHE PUTS OUT AND PROVIDES THE WELFARE CHECK FOR ALL THE BILLS AND GROCERIES.
Dumbass woman. She must not know how to do much but breed.
Those poor kids. I hope they all either know better, or learn that this is not the way to treat animals- or kids.
Anywhere they are placed would be better than going back to the place where they had to witness that nightmare.
4:53 pm on February 6th, 2009
Even if they don’t intend harm later in life, what have they learned about GUN SAFETY up to this point.
10:58 am on February 7th, 2009
Um,Why didn’t the woman-girlfriend/mom get arrested too? She has clearly put emotional harm on those kids as well. I bet she bailed that shitbag outta jail too. what a horrifying thing to have to go through as a kid let alone an adult. JEEZUS!
2:10 am on February 8th, 2009
I want to kill them both.

Couldnt have said it better myself! A freakin Men!
These poor poor children…can you imagine what they went through that terible night/morning? Mmmm… myheart bleeds for them. And sadly enough they were raised around this shit so im sure they think that this behavior is normal. Yet again, we have a welfare case who can afford to support his alcohol but not provide for his family. WTF is he doing with 6 kids and 6 animals… im sorry but social reform programs nausiate me. When you really need the help… its there. Use it! But try to make something for yourself! My probelm is with the people who abuse the ststem, like this family! The more kids they have, the more money theyre getiin… they arent taking care of these kids… they beat em, rape em, and kill em… ITS PATHETIC PEPOLE….WAKE UP TO REALITY!!!!!!
How do you feel about the fact that your tax money is being used to support his freakin drinking habbits?…cuz you damn well the goverment money he was getting sure as hell wasnt being used to benefit his children…. worthless POS.
