A Bad Christmas for Neal Rauhauser

Posted on Comments

Regular readers of this blog need no introduction to Neal Rauhauser, the disgraced former Democrat campaign consultant and associate of bomber/porogressive activist Brett Kimberlin. A few months ago, Rauhauser stalked my Army son’s Facebook page.

The latest weird turn in Rauhauser’s weird career is that his ex-wife evidently showed up on Twitter, complaining that Neal still owes some $47,000 in child support for the two children — now ages 17 and 13 — of their marriage, which ended a decade ago. Now, this caveat is necessary: I cannot verify that the Twitter account is his ex-wife’s nor, if it is indeed her, can I vouch for the accuracy of all she alleges. However . . .

A diarist at Daily Kos put up a post last Saturday which, with the necessary caveats, is certainly worth excerpting at length here:

During the years that Neal Rauhauser has been involved in internet intrigue while neglecting to pay child support, his ex-wife Nancy went through ovarian and breast cancer . . . Nancy holds no illusions about getting money out of Neal but she’s making the effort because her son and daughter asked and she wants them to go to college. For Nancy, “it’s all about the kids.”
Unfortunately Nancy lives in Nebraska and in order to get the state involved in collecting child-support across state lines she needs to give them a verifiable address for Neal. That’s no easy task. Neal tells no one where he lives, not even his mother, he has no driver’s license and he travels by train and bus. The man leaves no paper trail. So Nancy joined Twitter (where Neal hangs out) in early December as part of her quest for her children and that’s why the need for a restraining order and private security. . . .

Yeah. According to this DKos diarist, when his ex-wife joined Twitter, Rauhauser began harassing her:

Nancy has documents showing her ex-husband was clinically diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder overlaid with Reactive Affective Disorder. Neal Rauhauser is a certified Sociopath.
So in the two weeks she’s been on Twitter, Neal has begun harassing Nancy, her children and her relatives with phone calls and text messages. He also did what he calls a SWAT lite and called Child Protective Services on his ex-wife. Other strange things have been happening recently too: someone attempted to hack Nancy’s eBay account, someone attempted to use her daughter’s social security number and someone accessed her son’s school records and found out where they live.
This is why security and a restraining order are needed . . . And why a lawyer is wanted by the Rauhauser children.

To repeat: I have not verified this information. However, the “SWAT lite” — reporting his ex-wife to Child Protective Services — certainly sounds like Neal Rauhauser’s usual tricks.

There is nothing that Neal Rauhauser hates more than when people tell the truth about Neal Rauhauser. We’ll see what happens.

Re: @X3n0ph0n and the Burden of Proof

Posted on Comments

John Hoge takes notice of Team Kimberlin publicist Xenophon:

If the post that went up Monday evening at Breitbart Unmasked (No, I won’t link to it.) is any indication, TDPK truly misunderstands the memorandum Aaron Walker filed in the Maryland Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. case. And he misunderstands its significance.

Having previously addressed Walker’s filing, I will excerpt, but not link, Xenophon’s typically boastful output:

A federal judge dismissed Walker’s federal lawsuit against Kimberlin, Neal Rauhauser, and Ron Brynaert with prejudice over a year ago, but the vexatious Mr. Walker has learned no lessons from that blistering rejection of his paranoid style.
Instead, he tries to re-litigate all his failures once again in a grand unified conspiracy theory.

This has been recycled endlessly by Team Kimberlin: Walker’s lawsuits against Kimberlin were dismissed and therefore . . .?

If Walker failed to prove his claims against Kimberlin, this is because the plaintiff has the burden of proof in a civil suit. But as Kimberlin is now the plaintiff, and Walker among the defendants, the advantages of the defense have been transferred to Kimberlin’s antagonists. Xenophon evidently doesn’t recognize the significance of this, assuming that because Walker lost as a plaintiff, Walker will also lose as a defendant. Further demonstrating a deficiency of understanding, Xenophon continues:

Mr. Walker and his four co-defendants are being represented in the state defamation case by two attorneys, Marc Del Bianco and Francis Ostronic, neither of whom were party to Mr. Walker’s filing. Both of them will be asked to account for it anyway. Walker has tried to exercise leadership by claiming to represent everyone’s interests, including Kimberlin Unmasked. Walker’s filing leaves competent counsel with a dilemma: they can either move to have Walker’s novella-length screed stricken, and apologize to the court, or they can walk away from the case while there is still time to reach cover.
Either way, they should politely tell their client that he has done them no favors and ask him to please shut up.

Even if we stipulate Xenophon’s (and Kimberlin’s) claim that Walker’s filing was improper, why should my attorney be required to apologize on my behalf for what my co-defendant Walker has done without my knowledge, permission or authorization? But such are the implausible assumptions that Team Kimberlin rely on, and Xenophon piles up these assumptions in profusion:

According to our sources Mr. Kimberlin has found a very competent attorney to handle the work of dismantling Mr. Walker on a witness stand.

Uh, “dismantling Mr. Walker on a witness stand”? This requires the assumption that one or the other of Kimberlin’s lawsuits will eventually make it to trial when, in fact, there have been only two procedural hearings to date, and the next hearing in the Maryland case — where the various preliminary motions will be heard — is not until Jan. 13.

Many of the defendants in the federal suit (myself among them) have not yet been served, and we are therefore very early in the game, which is ultimately unlikely to result in a trial, because Brett Kimberlin is completely full of crap. Legal scholars can ponder what “completely full of crap” means, but permit me to express doubt that any “very competent attorney” is likely to agree to represent Brett Kimberlin.

 

The World’s Worst Pro Se Litigant™ Says ‘Defendant Walker Has Gone Rogue’

Posted on Comments

An interesting aspect of being accused by Brett Kimberlin of being part of two distinct conspiracies — one described in his Maryland suit Kimberlin v. Walker, et al., and the other described in the federal RICO suit John Hoge has dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al. — is that my alleged co-conspirators have done things without my knowledge or permission, and yet I’m somehow responsible for their actions.

Kimberlin just filed motions expressing his anger that my co-defendant Aaron Walker filed a motion on behalf of co-defendant Kimberlin Unmasked, including this claim:

“Defendant Walker has gone rogue and filed his pleading because of his grandiose and misplaced belief that he is a ‘legal scholar’ who is not bound by the rules. He believes that the lawyers in the case are not blessed with his skills or knowledge so he must file pleadings to educate them and the Court on the facts and laws as only known by him.”

This is rich amusement, indeed. Given the wild hare-brained recklessness of Kimberlin’s own pro se litigation — any competent attorney would have advised him against filing these lawsuits — who is Kimberlin to argue that Aaron Walker, a Yale-educated attorney, is acting on a “grandiose and misplaced belief”?

While I am not qualified to judge the legality or wisdom of Walker’s filings, it seems that Kimberlin is upset that Walker has done something unexpected and unusual, outside the rules of the game as Kimberlin understood them. Given his own demonstrable contempt for law — as evidenced by the crimes for which he served 17 years in federal prison — it’s quite ironic that Kimberlin expects his antagonists to scrupulously adhere to the rules. Is it not possible that Walker understands the rules better than Kimberlin? Could it be that Walker’s filings, while unexpected and unusual, were nonetheless entirely legal?

We’ll have to wait and let the court sort this out, but my own guess is that Kimberlin’s motion is just a continuation of his long-term efforts to damage Walker’s reputation as a lawyer, and will likely fail.

Meanwhile, my co-defendant Kimberlin Unmasked calls attention to this recent outburst by Kimberlin associate Neal Rauhauser:

This is further rich amusement: In September and October, Rauhauser and his friends were thumping their chests and proclaiming that Kimberlin’s lawsuits were legal tours de force, that the defendants were all guilty and should be terrified at the looming prospect of Kimberlin’s courtroom triumph. Yet now it’s December, the defendants have begun filing motions in the case, and suddenly Neal Rauhauser is on Twitter seeking pro bono legal assistance for the pro se plaintiff, Brett Kimberlin.

As for Rauhauser’s claim that Kimberlin was the victim of a “faked rape charge from some cranks,” the charge in question was filed July 28 by Kimberlin’s estranged wife:

“Brett Kimberlin met me when I was 14 years old. I was
living in Ukraine. Brett Kimberlin courted me and
enticed me to come to Maryland so I could be his
sex partner and bride. I arrived in Maryland
September, 1996, when I was fifteen years old.
Brett Kimberlin had sex with me every single day
between the day I arrived and the day I
turned sixteen, on Nov. 16, 1996.”

This charge — 16 is the legal age of consent in Maryland — was subsequently dismissed, but as it was based on a sworn statement by Mrs. Kimberlin, it would seem that Rauhauser is accusing her of being a “crank.” Nor have Rauhauser or any other Kimberlin fanboys addressed the substance of the accusations that Mrs. Kimberlin made in her July 7 motion for a protective order against her estranged husband:

T. Kimberlin v. B. Kimberlin Petition for Protective Order 7.9.13 (OCR)

Those claims of her husband’s “threatening” and “abusive” behavior were made by Mrs. Kimberlin before I even knew that she had been estranged from Brett Kimberlin and, while the court denied the protective order she sought, her accusations against her husband (a public figure) were nevertheless newsworthy. These charges were highly relevant in light of Brett Kimberlin’s criminal history:

“Plaintiff is a public figure because he has had an authorized biography published about him detailing his exploits. Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin (Singer, Mark, Knopf, New York, 1996) is an authorized biography of Plaintiff Kimberlin. In it the book insinuates that the Plaintiff had an inappropriate relationship with a ten year old girl, (id. at 78.), that he was suspected in having arranged a murder-for-hire of the girl’s grandmother (at 82, 83), and that the subsequent Speedway Bombings were an attempt to distract the murder investigation (at. 89).”

That’s what the Franklin Center said in filing its motion to dismiss Kimberlin’s federal RICO suit. Maybe Neal Rauhauser can explain why these facts should be ignored. Good luck with that.

A Brett Kimberlin Christmas: Unexpected Gifts From My Fellow Defendants

Posted on Comments

‘Speedway Bomber’ Brett Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in 1981

“Really? Really? Can this be what it sounds like? Somebody is trying to out-crazy Stacy McCain? That’s not going to end well . . . .”
— Professor Glenn Reynolds, May 21, 2012

“It turns out that Kimberlin has been spreading lies about conservatives for almost as long as he’s been a criminal. Remember the risible story that then-Vice President Dan Quayle had been a drug user? The source was a jailbird named Brett Kimberlin. . . .
“The reporter who broke the story about Quayle wrote an entire book in 1996 on how Kimberlin had repeatedly lied to him.”
— Rosslyn Smith, May 23, 2012

“Plaintiff is a public figure because he has had an authorized biography published about him detailing his exploits. Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin (Singer, Mark, Knopf, New York, 1996) is an authorized biography of Plaintiff Kimberlin. In it the book insinuates that the Plaintiff had an inappropriate relationship with a ten year old girl, (id. at 78.), that he was suspected in having arranged a murder-for-hire of the girl’s grandmother (at 82, 83), and that the subsequent Speedway Bombings were an attempt to distract the murder investigation (at. 89).”
— The Franklin Center, Dec. 18, 2013, Motion to Dismiss, Kimberlin v. National Bloggers Club, et al.

The Franklin Center’s concise summary of certain facts relevant to the federal RICO lawsuit is an unexpected holiday gift, and Aaron Walker explains that Franklin appears to be “re-gifting,” so to speak, by copying a similar paragraph from John Hoge’s motion to dismiss in the same lawsuit — an acceptable practice in law, and one of which I expect to avail myself if and when Brett Kimberlin ever serves me in the federal suit, which he has not yet done.

It would seem to me a self-evident fact that Brett Kimberlin has sued so many bloggers just to harass and intimidate us, but in law one must actually prove facts that may seem self-evident. Likewise, it seems self-evident that Brett Kimberlin was “notorious” or “infamous” — that he had a very bad reputation — before I ever wrote a single word about him, a fact which would tend to undermine Kimberlin’s claim that he is the victim of tortious defamation. Nevertheless, in law, one must sometimes prove facts that seem obvious, and the filings by my co-defendants provide some examples of how this might be done.

SO, HOW’S THAT “BRASS-KNUCKLES REPUTATION MANAGEMENT” WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA?

Professor Glenn Reynolds asked that question in June 2012, two days after a Maryland hearing at which Aaron Walker was arrested and handcuffed because of Kimberlin’s “harassment” claims.

Perhaps some readers have forgotten that day, but the injustice of it — the attempt by a notorious criminal to silence a law-abiding citizen — ought to be remembered. Patrick Frey coined the phrase “brass knuckles reputation management” to describe the methods by which Brett Kimberlin has sought to coerce or intimidate honest people into silence and, of course, Frey is also a defendant in the federal RICO suit, which would appear to be the ne plus ultra of these intimidation attempts. Although an attorney of some eminence himself, Frey has retained the services of attorney Ken White to handle his defense.

So if Kimberlin ever serves me in this RICO suit — John Hoge has dubbed it Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al. — the filings of my co-defendants will offer ample sources for facts and legal arguments from which I can crib. And as for The World’s Worst Pro Se Litigant™, it looks like Kimberlin is going to have a White Christmas with the blizzard of incoming court documents:

So to keep a tally, Brett has to respond to 1) a motion to dismiss the RICO suit by John Hoge, 2) a motion to require verified filings in the RICO suit by John Hoge, 3) a motion to dismiss the RICO suit by me, 4) a motion to require verified filings in the RICO suit by me, 5) a memorandum in support of Kimberlin Unmasked’s right to remain anonymous in state court, 6) a motion to dismiss the RICO suit by DB Capital Strategies, and 7) a motion to dismiss the RICO suit by the Franklin Center. And he will have to work on all of it over Christmas — I mean, he doesn’t want to default on any of that, does he?

God bless us every one!

Brett Kimberlin’s Conspiracy Theory and Other Recent Legal Proceedings

Posted on Comments

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison

“Kimberlin seemed to be the only one with a possible motive — to distract police attention from the Scyphers murder and delay or halt their quiet investigation of him.”
– R. Joseph Gelarden, Indianapolis Star, “Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit,” Oct. 18, 1981

“I have filed over a hundred lawsuits and another one will be no sweat for me. On the other hand, it will cost you a lot of time and money . . .”
— Brett Kimberlin, Oct. 11., 2010, e-mail to Patrick Frey

The World’s Worst Pro Se Litigant™ continues to pursue his $1 million Maryland lawsuit, Kimberlin v. Walker, et al., as well as his federal RICO lawsuit, which has been dubbed Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al., as if either of these nonsensical pieces of amateur litigation has the proverbial snowball’s chance in hell of success.

Unfortunately, the frivolous litigation that a perjuring bomber files against innocent people must nonetheless be taken seriously by the defendants, and therefore motions must be filed and so forth. Even if I were not among the innocent defendants in these cases, they would still be amusingly newsworthy, i.e., the notorious criminal who says he has been defamed by a vast conspiracy of law-abiding citizens. In response to my attorney’s motion to dismiss the Maryland suit, filed last month, Brett Kimberlin filed a motion that included this:

Regular readers know that I moved out of Maryland in mid-2012 to avoid harassment by Brett Kimberlin and his associates. Now, in order to assert that I am subject to the jurisdiction of Maryland courts, Kimberlin asserts (in his own words) a “conspiracy theory” claiming that John Hoge is my “agent” whose actions may be “attributed” to me “in furtherance of a conspiracy.” In other words, Brett Kimberlin alleges I am responsible for Hoge’s actions — that Hoge has acted as my “agent” in Maryland — and Kimberlin claims he can “demonstrate” this as a matter of fact.

You may ask: What is this 2006 Mackey v. Compass Marketing case that Kimberlin cites? It involved two corporate executives who were accused by a plaintiff of conspiring to reduce the commission rate they paid to a broker who lived in Maryland.

That case had nothing to do with defamation, harassment and the other “tortious actions” that Kimberlin alleges against the defendants in this suit and, I would argue, this difference is quite important, because what I have actually done (as opposed to what the convicted perjurer Brett Kimberlin falsely alleges I have done) is to report about and comment on various newsworthy events, a sort of business quite unlike the paying of commissions to brokers. In fact, my reporting and commentary were (and are) matters directly related to the exercise of freedom of speech and freedom of the press under the First Amendment. Readers should forgive me for suspecting that Kimberlin will be required to clear quite a high threshold of proof to claim that my communications with John Hoge constitute a conspiracy, rather than the ordinary business of a journalist citing sources for accounts of events.

Well, I am not a lawyer and it would perhaps be imprudent to discuss any further my own view of this particular matter. Maybe later I’ll share more amusing excerpts from Brett Kimberlin’s conspiracy theory case, but of more immediate interest:

  1. Aaron Walker has published his motion to dismiss Kimberlin’s federal RICO lawsuit, and has also published his lengthy supplemental memorandum to that motion;
    and
  2. John Hoge notes that, even before Walker published the memorandum, that filing was already being discussed by certain persons on the Internet as if they had direct familiarity with the document.

It is perhaps merely a coincidence that Bill Schmalfeldt seems to be privy to every detail of Brett Kimberlin’s legal proceedings, but if one were prone to constructing conspiracy theories, one might allege that Schmalfeldt and others are Kimberlin’s agents.

Brett Kimberlin’s pro se litigation is outrageous because, if he had sought the counsel of any competent attorney, that attorney would have been obliged to tell him that his conspiracy theory is nuts and that he has zero chance of prevailing in court, and therefore no such lawsuit ever would have been filed. However, because no court has yet imposed sanctions on Kimberlin, the dishonest felon continues to persist in this pattern of “lawfare” harassment.

Exit Question 1: If it is defamation and harassment for the defendants to have expressed suspicion that certain people are acting on behalf of Brett Kimberlin, how are Kimberlin’s own false conspiracy allegations (e.g., that Hoge is my “agent”) not also defamation and harassment?

Exit Question 2: If your answer to the previous question is that Kimberlin’s allegations are privileged because they were made as part of a civil lawsuit, doesn’t this tend to incentivize such litigation, so that the safest way to smear a person’s reputation is to file a frivolous lawsuit crammed full of malicious accusations that would be libelous if they were published as journalism?

Exit Question 3: When are courts going to take notice of Brett Kimberlin’s own boast that he files lawsuits merely for the purpose of harassing people against whom he has a grudge?

One Week Until Bill Schmalfeldt’s Next Carroll County Circuit Court Hearing

Posted on Comments

The day before Thanksgiving Day, I asked a simple question:

Why does it seem that the targets of Bill Schmalfeldt’s harassment overlap Brett Kimberlin’s enemies list with such exactitude?

It was Schmalfeldt’s harassment of the person he believes to be “Kimberlin Unmasked” that prompted that question, and “Kimberlin Unmasked” has continued the comic series “Oedipal Bill”:

Schmalfeldt paid little or no attention to “Kimberlin Unmasked” until Brett Kimberlin filed the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al., lawsuit, and it was amusing to watch Brett Kimberlin in court last week trying to explain his failure respond to an attorney’s motion asserting that Maryland courts have no jurisdiction over “Kimberlin Unmasked.”

Of course, Schmalfeldt has been convinced by his Team Kimberlin colleagues that not only is this Maryland lawsuit a shining example of legal brilliance, but that the federal RICO suit known as Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al., is destined to succeed. Meanwhile . . .

In Carroll County next Monday, Dec. 9, there will be a hearing on John Hoge’s petition for a six-month extension on his peace order against Bill Schmalfeldt. To say that Schmalfeldt has been making an ass of himself is an understatement: He posted a video of himself tearing up a court document in the case, posted pornographic photos onto which he had superimposed Hoge’s face and, as of 7 p.m. today, had sent 468 @ messages to Hoge on Twitter since Oct. 16, in violation of the peace order the judge granted in June.

Despite all facts, law and logic, however, Schmalfeldt continues boasting on Twitter about what dreadful humiliation and punishment he expects to inflict on Hoge in court next Monday, and seems to imagine that our amusement at his antics is un-Christian.

Saint Bill of the Blessed Butt Stuff is certainly a paragon of Christian moral virtue, as I’m sure Lee Stranahan’s family would agree.




 

 


Be Thankful for Bill Schmalfeldt

Posted on Comments

The biggest laughingstock on the Web  has been providing hours of entertainment, thanks to “Kimberlin Unmasked” — my co-defendant in the Maryland lawsuit Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. — who has been turning Bill Schmalfeldt’s ridiculous rants into a series of comics. Among my favorites in the series are “Oedipal Bill #22: Internet Detective,” and “Oedipal Bill #23: Play It Again, Sam!”

Kimberlin Unmasked offers this mission statement:

Kimberlin Unmasked mocks Breitbart Unmasked, which was originally about defaming Andrew Breitbart, and has over 90 posts about Brett Kimberlin and even posts pictures Brett Kimberlin himself took. Brett Kimberlin claims he doesn’t want people talking about his criminal past, or his present-day activities. But his lawsuits have given rise to the Streisand effect. If you want to know more, follow @bombersues on twitter and sign up for updates at bombersuesbloggers.com.

In recent days, Schmalfeldt has been relentlessly harassing Kimberlin Unmasked, to whom Schmalfeldt paid little attention until . . . ?

Kimberlin Unmasked was sued by Brett Kimberlin!

Why does it seem that the targets of Bill Schmalfeldt’s harassment overlap Brett Kimberlin’s enemies list with such exactitude?

We might get an answer to that question if the Maryland lawsuit Kimberlin v. Walker, et al., goes to trial, but that seems unlikely.

One of the things Bill Schmalfeldt, Neal Rauhauser and other members of the Brett Kimberlin Internet Fan Club (BKIFC) have been doing the past couple of months is anticipating all the awesome consequences of Brett Kimberlin’s future courtroom victories.

Unlikely.

And by “unlikely,” of course I mean, “Dream on, dancing bear.”

Ain’t gonna happen.

Tuesday I met with my lawyer, Patrick Ostronic. Schmalfeldt and the BKIFC have spent a lot of time mocking my lawyer lately. Very amusing, if you understand that (a) Brett Kimberlin is litigating pro se, as his own lawyer, and (b) Patrick Ostronic is a real lawyer.

Graduated from law school, passed his bar exams, stuff like that.

Hypothetical Question: Would it count as “intentional infliction of emotional distress” to humiliate Brett Kimberlin in court?

Anyway, there is a hearing today in Montgomery County Circuit Court, a strictly procedural affair that is unlikely to produce any actual news, although we can expect Bill Schmalfeldt and the BKIFC to pronounce it a legal triumph for the pro se Perry Mason.

Enjoy the laughs, and be sure to shop our Amazon Black Friday Week Specials, because the bottom line is this: We win, they lose.

And then we laugh at their loser asses.

Good people love me. And that’s all that really matters, isn’t it?

What #FreeKate and Brett Kimberlin Have in Common (Besides the Obvious)

Posted on Comments

‘Speedway Bomber’ Brett Kimberlin was sentenced to 50 years in 1981

“It is very easy to decide ‘this isn’t any of my trouble’ and permit vicious behavior.
“Who wants to get involved? Easier, and surely safer, just to duck one’s head and hide, and hope the danger visits someone else. . . .
“And why should you stick your neck out?
“Hey, it’s not like the Conservative Media is supposed to cast a spotlight on injustice, stick up for the common man abused by bullies, or fight leftist outrages.
“It’s not as if we’re supposed to fight the fights that others shy away from, right?”
— Ace of Spades, May 22, 2012

“The problem is, you’re not angry enough.
“The problem is, we have lost the sense of decency that should be outraged when the innocent are made to suffer, when selfish cruelty is tolerated, when evil flourishes, when liars have no shame.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, Oct. 17, 2013

At some point in the past half-century, our decadent elite got so concerned about “rights” as to become hopelessly confused. This confusion eroded the fundamental basis of a free society. Ancient distinctions between good and evil evaporated in a fog of moral relativism, undermining the rule of law in such a way that criminals were encouraged to believe that punishment for their crimes was social injustice, so that the law itself — and the free society protected by law — is impugned, and law-abiding citizens are deprived of peace and safety.

A sane society understands that criminals are not victims:

In May, high school senior Kaitlyn Hunt could have quietly accepted a plea bargain offered by Florida prosecutors and avoided imprisonment. Instead, with the encouragement of her parents, the former cheerleader claimed that her prosecution for having sex with a 14-year-old girl was motivated by homophobia. . . .
Last month, Hunt finally accepted a plea bargain — a deal noticeably harsher than the offer she rejected in May — pleading no contest to multiple felonies, and was sentenced to remain in the Indian River County Jail until Dec. 20, when she will be released under strict terms of community supervision. . . .
You might think this would end the “Free Kate” story, except that Hunt’s fanatical supporters have continued to promote the gay-rights victimhood narrative of the case — some have actually compared her to civil rights icon Rosa Parks — and vowed an ongoing campaign to make sex with 14-year-olds legal in Florida. . . .

Please read the whole thing at The American Spectator.

Immoral monsters have demonized Jim and Laurie Smith, parents of the minor victim in that case, and the “Free Kate” freaks are a shining example of a deviant antisocial mentality that is dangerously widespread in America today. Criminals are emboldened and honest citizens are intimidated, because the Left has determined to destroy our nation’s traditional Judeo-Christian culture.

On May 25, 2012, John Hoge published “Who Is Brett Kimberlin?” This is composed almost entirely of citations from court documents:

On October 23, 1983 a Marion County, Indiana jury awarded $360,000 to Sandra DeLong for her injuries, and $1,250,000 for the wrongful death of Carl DeLong. …
Sandra DeLong attempted to collect on her judgment by obtaining a writ of attachment against petitioner’s prison commissary account after a United States Probation Officer informed her that petitioner regularly transferred money to someone outside the prison. Petitioner promptly sued Mrs. DeLong, her lawyer, the probation officer, and various Bureau of Prisons and Department of Justice officials for money damages. …
On February 13, 1994 petitioner was released on supervised parole in this district.  Petitioner inherited $155,147 from his father’s estate. Additionally he developed business deals (including an oil project, a prefabricated housing project, a power plant project, a flower mill project, a tire contract and others) in Ukraine through a partnership known as LADA; entered into a recording contract; and entered into a book contract in favor of BKE, Inc., a corporation petitioner established and controlled. The book contract, an agreement between BKE, Inc., writer Mark Singer, and Knopf Incorporated (a subsidiary of Random House), centered around allegations petitioner had made in the 1988 federal election campaign concerning his sale of marijuana to Dan Quayle, and petitioner’s subsequent treatment by the Bureau of Prisons. As of February 10, 1997 BKE, Inc. had received $339,000 in proceeds from that book, with another $225,000 in “guaranteed income” from the contract expected later that year. …
Despite a healthy income, petitioner continued to resist paying the DeLong judgment, which had been reinstated on June 13, 1994. In a July 12, 1994 letter to Probation Officer Koehler, he threatened to go into bankruptcy if enforcement of the judgment was to occur, and claimed that he was personally judgment-proof, with his assets and income protected under “corporate veil.” … Petitioner then proceeded with further unsuccessful appellate litigation attempting to set aside the judgment. Following the Supreme Court’s denial of certiorari, petitioner continued to ignore the outstanding judgment. On May 16, 1996 he submitted a mortgage loan application denying that he had any “outstanding judgments” against him. A $308,000 mortgage loan was approved for the purchase of a house in Bethesda, Maryland. . . .

You really should read the whole thing and then think about what a shocking thing it is that Brett Kimberlin — the World’s Worst Pro Se Litigant™ who has done everything he can to deprive his victim’s widow of the $1.6 million judgment he was ordered to pay as a result of his bloody and reprehensible crimes — should then file a million-dollar lawsuit claiming that he is a victim.

Tomorrow there will be a hearing in Montgomery County Circuit Court about this lawsuit, and today I must meet with my attorney about the case. You may be angry about this deplorable situation, but you are probably not as angry as you should be.
