Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 12, 2014 As if there wasn't enough drama in world... be interesting to see how this will play out in the next season. (if there is one.) Sons of Guns" star Will Hayden was arrested in Louisiana over the weekend for suspicion of molestation and crimes against nature, ET has learned. Will, 44, was arrested, booked and released on Saturday after posting a $150,000 bond, according to his booking sheet. According to an internet report, Hayden's ex-girlfriend accused him of molesting their child, but Hayden refuted the claim, saying that his ex fabricated the story because she was upset about the breakup. Will is the founder and owner of Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge. He and his shop were the focus of Discovery Channel's reality show "Sons of Guns," in which he was the main gunsmith.

+JonathanRL 974 Posted August 12, 2014 I admit I almost stopped watching Sons of Guns after a while. "A while" being when there was more drama then gun building. About the case in question, I am a bit surprised about the amount of whitewashing going on with vague arguments. That said, I am not going to state an opinion as wherever he is guilty or not; that is up for a jury to decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted August 12, 2014 ex-girlfriend, that's sums it all... she said then it's "true" I'll wait to real evidence before I jump to conclusions! nice show, from time to time I watch an episode :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not defending the guy nor chastising him; however I do find it interesting that such an allegation would be made. I'm not a faithful fan of the show because, like both of you said, they do have more drama than a desperate housewives show but every once in a while they'll get a cool project that keeps me interested.

+ST0RM 145 Posted August 12, 2014 I was impressed with the show the first few years, but like you all, got fed up with the drama. I've watched sparingly over the last few years. I've read some back story on Red Jacket, and they've had some trouble with the ATF. Apparently their license has been pulled a few times. From what I've seen on their site, they make some nice weapons, but are VERY proud of their prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironroad 218 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) CPS interviewed the girl. No proof of abuse. In the US all it takes is an "allegation" of sexual misconduct or abuse and a man's (keyword MAN) life and career are ruined forever. If he is found guilty then it is on the sexual predator's list for the rest of his life (although I do agree with the need for having a such a list), if he is completely exonerated most people (including the authorities in the jurisdiction he lives in) are still going to assume he "did something wrong" and will treat him accordingly. In the court of public opinion, which seems to be the only court that matters, he is finished... They are investigating the Ex now. Hope she'll get jailed for false reporting of a crime I highly doubt it, if at most maybe a "fine" or a behind the scenes "don't do it again miss, unless you have more "credible" allegations that can put him away ;-) ". In this instance there is really no difference when a police officer or government official knowingly and willingly official commits perjury in court or during an official hearing and there is written evidence (official reports, video, etc.) that shows everything contrary to their testimony or account. It is about "getting their man". It sucks, but it is how the justice system in the US has been twisted and contorted to be used against the majority of the people it is supposed to protect, Edited August 12, 2014 by ironroad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironroad 218 Posted August 12, 2014 That show is such a fake load of garbage. Makes Dork Dynasty look like Frontline. Almost all the realty TV shows are contrived "faux" dramas, although not my cup of tea, I can understand how some people can find them entertaining. I will occasionally watch one of the millions of variations of "Pimp my Ride" that come on one of Discovery network or Speed channels. What really pains me is what the History Channel has become, the name changes of the "Anything but" Wings, Military, what are you being called this week Channel, and the slow death of TLC (which was the first channel in that grouping to go). Speaking of Frontline, it looks like PBS is trying ti damnedest to play in the "cable TV" sandbox with its realty tv and cartoon line-ups. Miss the good old days of watching Frontline and local documentaries/dramas on weeknights and classic British comedies on weekends. I suspect cable TV will be the next "bubble" that will burst, and services like netflix, ondemand, etc. will slowly take over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+JonathanRL 974 Posted August 13, 2014 That show is such a fake load of garbage. There is a reason I prefer American Guns. They kept the focus where it belonged. And yes, it was fake too at times but it was so obvious that they never even tried to hide it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 13, 2014 I suspect cable TV will be the next "bubble" that will burst, and services like netflix, ondemand, etc. will slowly take over. Yeah they will and it might happen sooner too because every time I turn around the cable company keeps hiking their F*ing rates up for whatever BS reason. Soon the only thing cable TV will be good for is weather reports and I don't know what else... there aren't any good entertaining shows anymore that aren't full of over dramatic bull. ( or like the one last week on FX that was basically a soft-core porn) It would be neat if they could let me opt out of channels so I can lower my rate. MTV, CMT, ESPN ESPN2, Univision, Home shopping Network would be among the top of the services I'd get rid off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+JonathanRL 974 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) OK Im going to break my silence on all the stuff that’s been happening. This will be my FINAL comments on it. Also be prepared, I don’t have to watch what I say anymore because of a TV show. First off Im going to go with innocent till proven guilty because that is the law of the land BUT there is a ton of evidence out there. Im privy to a little more info than most of yall are and I can tell you its fucked up. Like I don’t even want to know what I know fucked up. Ive known who the accuser is for a while now and I can tell you 100% I believe her. She isn’t looking for cash she is just doing whats right. If someone out there still thinks the ex wife is trying to get back or some silly shit like that you can stop that shit now. Did will hayden jumpstart my career? Yep sure did. So did the folks at Discovery and Jupiter productions. I appreciate what they did. And to Discov and Jupiter and most of the guys at RJF, I had a ton of fun with it Thank you. Now to the point at hand, this may sounds harsh but ya know what fuck it. If he is guilty hang him. From the tallest tree, with piano wire. I consider the folks I was on the show with my friends and I will always be there for em and I hate what the family is going through but remember one egotistical asshole did this. Im sure he can find one bullet - Glenn Flemming Today, Red Jacket Firearms has received complete legal separation as an entity, from Will Hayden. We will continue to operate, although with heavy hearts and promise to do everything in our power to fill customer orders, back orders and provide support to those affected by these new developments. - Red Jacket Edited August 28, 2014 by JonathanRL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
