Indianapolis, Indiana: Gabe Whitley, a former Indiana congressional candidate and fearless advocate for justice, is unjustly portrayed as a violent figure by his political adversaries. Despite facing baseless charges and a biased legal system, Whitley’s actions reveal a man committed to exposing corruption, not perpetrating violence. Here’s why Gabe Whitley deserves support as a principled fighter against the entrenched powers of Marion County.

The Unjust Arrest: A Tweet Misconstrued

In August 2024, Gabe Whitley was arrested and charged with a Level 6 felony intimidation (Case No. 49D36-2408-F6-021970) over a single tweet: “National Law Enforcement needs to raid 4418 Braemar Drive for stealing taxpayers’ money.” This address belongs to Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, a political commentator with a personal vendetta against Whitley. The Marion County Prosecutor, Ryan Mears—a close ally of Shabazz—seized on this statement, alleging it was a threat. Yet, Whitley has consistently maintained, and discovery supports, that he never called for violence, let alone for Shabazz to be shot, debunking sensationalized reports from outlets like the IndyStar. This arrest, still pending a jury trial in July 2025 but has been moved to another date in the fall, is a clear attempt to silence a vocal critic rather than a reflection of any violent intent.

A History of Standing Up to Bullies

Whitley’s courage shines through his legal battles. In 2022, he defeated Shabazz in a defamation lawsuit, a victory that exposed Shabazz’s obsession with tarnishing Whitley’s reputation. Undeterred, Whitley took on Mears and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office in December 2024, filing a lawsuit (Case No. 49D13-2412-CT-054792) alleging civil rights violations. When Mears failed to respond for 80 days, Whitley rightfully sought a default judgment—a legal victory that the court has yet to fully recognize due to procedural errors. On June 11, 2025, Whitley filed a bold motion to correct these errors and request a change of venue, proving his determination to seek justice in a fair setting.

Fighting a Biased System

The Marion County judicial system, intertwined with the Prosecutor’s Office through the unigov structure, has shown alarming bias against Whitley. His recent motion highlights how the court denied his default judgment motion on June 9, 2025, based on a fabricated claim of three filings (when only two were made) and a mootness argument despite clear evidence of service. Whitley’s pro se efforts reveal a man navigating a rigged system with intelligence and resilience, calling for a venue change to Hamilton or Boone County to escape local conflicts of interest. This is not the behavior of a violent individual but of a patriot demanding accountability.

No Evidence of Violence

Unlike the narrative pushed by his detractors, Whitley has no history of physical violence or convictions for violent acts. His legal troubles stem from a campaign finance issue (for which he served three months in 2025) and this pending intimidation charge, both of which appear politically motivated. His focus remains on legal and rhetorical challenges, as seen in his meticulous court filings, rather than any physical threat. The absence of weapons or violent incidents in his record further supports his claim of non-violence.

Why Support Gabe Whitley?

Gabe Whitley is a symbol of resistance against a corrupt establishment. His tweet was a call for investigation, not harm, and his lawsuits target systemic abuses by powerful figures like Mears and Shabazz. As a pro se litigant, he’s outmaneuvered seasoned attorneys, winning a default judgment and challenging judicial errors head-on. His fight for a fair trial and venue change reflects a deep commitment to justice, not vengeance.

Conclusion

Gabe Whitley is not a violent threat but a courageous whistleblower targeted by a biased system. The fall of 2025 trial will vindicate him, but until then, his supporters should rally behind a man who dares to challenge corruption at great personal cost. Stand with Whitley—his battle is ours.
