Jonathan Sharkey
Born (1964-04-02) April 2, 1964 (age 60)
Other namesRocky Flash,[1] Lord Ares[2]
OccupationProfessional Wrestler
Known forPerennial candidate, Professional wrestler

Jonathon (originally John) Albert "The Impaler" Sharkey (born April 2, 1964) is an American professional wrestler and perennial candidate. He resides in Florida and initially attempted to run for President as a Republican in 2012.[3] On August 24, 2011, he formally ended his presidential campaign, but states that he has "all intentions of running" in 2020.[4]

Background

He formerly lived in Minnesota but moved to Florida in 2010.[5] Sharkey has three living children, and a fourth child who is now deceased.[6] He also has a grandson. Sharkey says that he has never dated anyone over 19 years old since 2006. One of his former girlfriends, Audrianna Foster, has claimed to be a vampire herself.[7]

Wrestling career

Sharkey began wrestling in 1988. He began his career with Larry Sharpe's WWA promotion, facing "Diamond Jim" Brady in a boxer vs. wrestler match. Following this, he worked with a number of other wrestling promoters including Rocky Johnson, father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He cites his greatest wrestling influences as Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat.[6]

Beliefs and vampirism

Sharkey claims that he first drank blood at age five and now consumes the blood of his girlfriends and mistresses twice a week.[8][9] He has described his vampirism as "a very healthy thing to do" and has praised Hollywood for making vampire feeding practices "romantic and erotic". He does not drink men's blood, only women's because "women are beautiful... they have such beautiful necks and arms".[10] He claims to be well known among the vampire community, and says he drinks cow and pig blood.[11]

Sharkey is a Luciferian [6] who "turned against God" because he would not worship a God who "caused the deaths of innocent children" and "allowed his only son to be used as a sacrifice on the cross".[10] He compares Lucifer to the Founding Fathers of the United States, arguing that they both exemplify the idea of rebellion against tyranny.[6] He says he doesn't hate Jesus, just God the Father, and that he follows the goddess Hecate in addition to Lucifer. [6] Also in 2006, his then-wife and blood donor Julie Carpenter was fired from her job as a school bus driver because her employer was nervous about having a witch driving the schoolchildren around. Carpenter complained that she was actually a pagan rather than a witch, and that her boss was unable to tell the difference between the two.[1]

Political positions

He has described his policy on crime as follows: "Certain criminals, instead of being put in jail, they should be brutally tortured and impaled.... Upon them being found guilty of their crimes I'll beat them, torture them, dismember them and decapitate them." [9] In an appearance on Tucker Carlson's television show, he agreed with the host's description of him as "not simply a vampire, [but] a right-wing vampire" and said his policy for dealing with drug dealers is to "go to Sicilian families and have them attack the drug dealers for me".[10]

Sharkey strongly criticized President George W. Bush, whom he described as a "wuss" and a communist who was responsible for the deaths of innocent Americans in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. He has expressed a desire to try, and convict, and impale Bush,[10] and has since stated that "Obama is even worse than Bush, and I never thought anyone could be worse than Bush. He has no idea how to run a country, nor should he be running a country."[6]

Sharkey once served on the Hillsborough County, Florida Republican Party's Executive Committee. A. J. Matthews, who also serves on the committee, has described Sharkey as someone who believes in "Republican values" but said that Sharkey needs to focus on campaign issues rather than "extreme behaviors".[12]

Sharkey says that he would ban abortion and the teaching of evolution in public schools. On other social issues, he leans libertarian; he supports equal rights for gays. He opposes President Obama's health care reform and said that he would replace it with a plan of his own in which the poor would receive free medical and dental care; the expenses would be paid with government taxes on marijuana and prostitution, which Sharkey supports legalizing and regulating. On foreign policy, he wishes to bring American troops home from foreign war zones. In keeping with his belief in the goddess Hecate, he supports environmentalism and "protecting Mother Earth". He said that his ideal running mate would be former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman.[6]

Sharkey has filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for President of the United States twice as an Independent candidate (in 2004[13] and in 2008[14]) and for Congress in at least three states—his home State of New Jersey (1999–2000, Republican),[15] Indiana (Reform Party, 2000)[16] and Florida (2001–02, Republican).[17] In 2006, he ran for governor of Minnesota.[18]

The VWP

The Party advocates protection of the religious beliefs and political advancement of individuals identifying themselves as vampires, witches, pagans, demons, Satanists, Wiccans, and those professing similar lifestyles and religious views.

Legal troubles

Sharkey was investigated by the United States Secret Service for threatening to impale President George W. Bush. Agents visited Sharkey at his home for questioning. A spokesman for the Secret Service said that he didn't believe the investigation was an overreaction.[19] He has also been jailed in Tennessee for making threats against an Indiana judge. Investigators confiscated two rifles and a wooden stake with spikes at his house. While in Tennessee he had reportedly attempted to set up a colony for vampires.[11][20] He has also been accused of "brainwashing" a 16-year-old girl in Minnesota, whose family now has a restraining order against him, and has admitted to harassing another 16-year-old Minnesota girl online.[12]

Sharkey's 2006 bid for Minnesota governor was cut short after Sharkey was arrested by Minnesota police on an outstanding Indiana arrest warrant, sent to Mille Lacs County jail and extradited to Indiana.[1]

In 2010, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children issued an alert after a 16-year-old Faribault, Minnesota girl, Paige Brewer, ran away with Sharkey. The alert described Brewer as an "endangered runaway", and Brewer's mother labeled Sharkey a psychopath. Sharkey and Brewer subsequently posted comments online in which they stated their intention to get married. Police investigators in Faribault subsequently stated that they were not treating the matter as a missing persons case,[21] but one Faribault police detective attempted to establish contact with Brewer. Brewer's mother stated that Sharkey had "completely brainwashed" her daughter, while Brewer alleged that she herself was a vampire,[22] that she had been a victim of child abuse and her decision to elope with Sharkey was her own. In response to critics of her relationship with Sharkey, Brewer reportedly said "I bit him first. Let me live my life." [22] She also expressed a desire to obtain legal emancipation from her mother.[21][22] Sharkey expressed a desire to "completely destroy" Brewer's mother,[22] who eventually won a court order keeping Sharkey away from her daughter, who was taken into custody by police [23] and returned home.[24]
