BRETT KIMBERLIN SUES BLOGGERS

Posted on Comments

The following joint statement has been authorized:

Convicted felon Brett Kimberlin has filed a Maryland lawsuit naming bloggers Aaron Walker, W. J. J. Hoge, Robert Stacy McCain, National Bloggers Club President Ali A. Akbar and the anonymous blogger “Kimberlin Unmasked” as defendants.
The defendants believe that the suit is without merit and is part of Kimberlin’s continued effort to use lawfare to silence journalists and bloggers who have written about Kimberlin’s criminal past. The defendants will not be made available for comment until they have finished initial consultations their respective legal counsel.

Media seeking comment may e-mail me (contact info is on the “about” page) and reporters who know my number can call, but as the statement says, I can make no comment for the record without advice of legal counsel. Of course, regular readers already know the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

 

 

UPDATE: John Hoge has also published the statement. The suit was filed Aug. 30. An initial hearing has been scheduled Nov. 27 in Montgomery County Circuit Court, before Judge John W. Debelius III.

UPDATE II: Linked by Kathy Shaidle — thanks!

UPDATE III: Linked by Da Tech Guy — thanks!

UPDATE IV: The Lonely Conservative calls Brett Kimberlin “evil,” so maybe the Speedway Bomber will sue her for . . . accuracy.

UPDATE V: Linked by Matt Ross at Conservative Hideout — thanks!

UPDATE VI: Patterico has done some research:

A search of court records reveals the complaint is for “DEFAMATION, MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, HARASSMENT, STALKING, CONSPIRACY, INVASION OF PRIVACY AND INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.” It sounds like “accuse the accusers” on steroids, doesn’t it?
It will be fascinating to see how Kimberlin tries to assert that his reputation has been damaged — given that he has been convicted of setting off multiple bombs, one of which blew off a man’s leg, causing him to commit suicide. Doesn’t that tend to harm one’s reputation quite a bit more than stuff said by bloggers on the Internet?

No comment at this time.

UPDATE VII: Headline by Zilla of the Resistance:

Perpetually #ButtHurt Free Speech Hating
#ConvictedTerrorist #SpeedwayBomber
#BrettKimberlin Sues Bloggers — AGAIN

You forgot to mention “evil.”

UPDATE VIII: Welcome, Instapundit readers!

And, no, if “unwanted Internet attention” is your problem, trying to sue bloggers into silence is perhaps not a clever strategy. Maybe you could ask Charles Carreon about that.

UPDATE IX: Linked by Maetenloch in the AOSHQ Overnight Thread — thanks! — and now a Memeorandum thread.

UPDATE X: Linked by Donald Douglas at American Power and by Jeff Dunetz at Yid With Lid — thanks!

UPDATE XI: Jeff Quinton reminds me of something I’d forgotten:

I previously blogged about Brett Kimberlin admitting to the sabotage of military equipment and a federal lawsuit that Walker filed against him.

Kimberlin sabotaged military equipment — he said so himself — but then again, Kimberlin is a perjurer, so maybe he made that up.

UPDATE XII: Linked by Evil Blogger Lady and Batshit Crazy News — thanks!

  3. Of course, we at the National Bloggers Club will be standing for free speech again. Brett Kimberlin cannot suppress the Constitution.

  7. I would have thought he’d have his hands full with manipulating the court system to bully his wife. The man sure can multitask.

  18. Because Brett Kimberlin is a creepy little free speech hating freak who suffers from profound ButtHurt if people tell the truth about his history as a convicted terrorist bomber, his alleged pedophilia, and his being suspected in the murder of the grandma of a little girl he is believed to have been molesting, and also, because Brett Kimberlin is an epic d-bag who is short and ugly and us such a loser that he lives in his momma’s basement – for real.
