In fact, this crisis is an answer to prayer: My wife and I had been contemplating whether to leave Maryland, and had asked that God would give us a sign. Guess we got what we prayed for — unexpectedly!

Be careful what you ask for. God wrote the law, therefore, one of His qualities
is that He thinks like a lawyer, so, He listens carefully and closely to what we say.
Be careful, be very, very careful.

Breitbart exposed this bastard a year and a half ago!
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2010/10/11/Progressives-Embrace-Convicted-Terrorist (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2010/10/11/Progressives-Embrace-Convicted-Terrorist)
Umm...this would seem to indicate even to the most naive person that we are literally in a war with the Left in this nation. The elite of the Left are supporting this murderous terrorist bastard, and we blog and rant about the injustice of it all...
This bastard is getting loads of Leftist cash and is terrorizing conservatives.
Enough is enough! I am not afraid to say it...conservatives under attack have to hire some bad asses and go right after this trash! The LE community is ill-equipped and uninterested in tracking this sh*t down, so once more we have to do it ourselves...or just let them kill and bully us!

Who Is Brett Kimberlin? Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gco5nQVZYo#)
-
I don't know if you been following the stories about the problem some bloggers such as Robert Stacy McCain, Patterico, Liberty Chick, Aaron Worthing, and Virginia attorney Aaron Walker have been having with harassment by a convicted felon, domestic bomber Brett Kimberlin. Kimberlin now runs a not-for-profit called the Justice Through Music Project. Kimberlin, a jailhouse lawyer, has also filed dozens of suits. Stacy McCain has actually moved to an undisclosed location because of threats. Lee Stranahan has put together a short video on Kimberlin's criminal career and asks that this Friday be Blog about Brett Kimberlin Day.
I thought the name was vaguely familiar when I heard it this week. 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.
Upon his final release from prison, you'd think the reality-based community would figure out Kimberlin is a con man. I mean, it's not as if no one has ever written about his lies. The reporter who broke the story about Quayle wrote an entire book in 1996 on how Kimberlin had repeatedly lied to him. Instead of being an outcast, Kimberlin now seems to be a progressive institution.
Kimberlin is a known associate of Neal Rauhauser, a Democrat campaign consultant who has described himself as a computer "hacker." Kimberlin, director of the tax-exempt Justice Through Music Project, is also involved in another tax-exempt group, Velvet Revolution, which has gained national attention by demanding criminal prosecution of high-profile figures including Republican strategist Karl Rove, U.S. Chamber of Commerce president Tom Donohue, and the late Internet news entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart. Kimberlin's name also surfaced last year in connection with the so-called "Anonymous" international hacker conspiracy. Kimberlin has pursued numerous strategies to harass journalists and bloggers who have attempted to call attention to his criminal past and his notorious dishonesty - a "top-flight con man," as Publisher's Weekly called him in a review of award-winning journalist Mark Singer's 1996 book, Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin.
Convicted of drug smuggling and forging documents as well as numerous violent felonies, Kimberlin claims to have ceased his lifelong criminal career after being released from federal prison in 2000. Yet his habitual dishonesty - Kimberlin was first convicted of perjury at age 18 - appears unchanged. As recently as 2007, Time magazine reported that Kimberlin was gaining notoriety on progressive blog sites by "repeatedly asserting as fact things that are not true." According to Walker, Kimberlin falsely accused him of assault after a courthouse encounter in which Kimberlin attempted to photograph Walker in violation of court policy. Walker says Maryland officials have refused to investigate his complaints of criminal actions by Kimberlin, and has asked his blog readers to contact those officials to demand action.
That TIME article, "The Wizard of Odd," details how Kimberlin used personal contacts and some heavy stroking of the political far left's insistence that the 2004 presidential election had been stolen to become a player in the 2007 debate over the validity of electronic voting. Because his contacts had gathered some valid information, Kimberlin was able to leverage said information for access to credible opinion-makers in academia think-tanks and in government. This access, in turn, helped Kimberlin further stoke the more lunatic fringes on the left.
I was a subscriber to the New Yorker when they ran Mark Singer's story about how he came to know that Kimberlin had been lying to him about Dan Quayle. After reading that piece, I decided not to renew my subscription. I don't think I have picked up a copy since except to kill time in a waiting room. Not only had a magazine once renowned for its fact-checking originally run an inflammatory accusation, the sole source of which was a man sitting in prison for a bombing, but Singer had been an entirely willing dupe. I remember being appalled. Singer's rationale for swallowing what was an obvious fabrication boiled down to the expression of a wish. The story should have been true. In a better world, it would have been true. Why? Because it is an ironclad law for sophisticated New Yorkers that that all conservatives are hypocrites? Midwestern conservatives doubly so? Singer wanted that story to be true so badly that he willingly surrendered whatever common sense he possessed until the stench of Kimberlin's collective lies became too obvious to ignore.
Fast-forward a decade. When I look at the institutions that poured money into Kimberlin's 501(c)(3) after it offered the reward for proof that the 2004 presidential election was stolen, there seem to be even more marks like Singer out there. The Justice Through Music Project has collected $1.8 million from the usual suspects on the political left over the last eight years, including these grants.

One hazard of living in a world in which things have to be true simply because you want them to be true is that such a world is also highly attractive to con men and women.

Michelle Malkin (http://michellemalkin.com/2012/05/23/free-speech-show-solidarity-for-targeted-conservative-bloggers/) weighs in:
For those of you who are old fogies in the blogosphere, you’ll remember the “blogburst” concept — hundreds of bloggers of all sizes getting together to push an idea or action item. In this case, a blogburst would raise the cost of the online terrorists’ speech-squelching business immensely. It’s a collective show of support and force.
Along those same lines, Stranahan has proposed that Friday be “Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day.”
Even a simple link, e-mail, or tweet will do.
I will join and I hope you will find a way to spread word about this horrifying saga, too (it gets worse, believe me). The targeted victims — past, present, and future — will need not only media support, but sustained financial support. A few good and brave philanthropists could come in handy right about now.
We should add our two cents right here on Friday.

Kimberlin needs to be taken out of the picture.

Huh, why am I not surprised? ::gaah::
This guy has to be dealt with, and the outfits funding him have to be hounded 24/7/365!
If enough people rise up none of these thugs can get away with squat!
And if this POS Kimberlin wants enemies, I say we give him lots!

An account of Patterico's travails at the hands of Kimberlin, Neal Rauhauser and Ron Brynaert and their organizations, Velvet Revolution and Justice Through Music:

In the last radio interview Andrew Breitbart ever gave, on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Breitbart talked about a new ruthless tactic used by thugs against political opponents:
- ne of the things they’ve done to people who have worked with me in the past, including an L.A. prosecutor, is to “SWAT.” That means that they’re spoofing phones, pretending to be somebody else’s phone, calling 911, and saying “I killed somebody” and then the person’s home is met with the guns drawn, the SWAT and the helicopters, in a horrifying act. It’s happened twice: once in New Jersey, once in Los Angeles, with an L.A. County . . . prosecutor who [is] associated with me.”[/i]
I am that L.A. County prosecutor. And in this post, you’ll hear the hoax call that sent police to my house, pointing loaded guns at me.
The Blaze joined the "blog about Brett Kimberlin" day as well:

If you follow the blogosphere, you’ll know that bloggers who criticize left-wing activist and convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin have been harassed. While doing some research on Mr. Kimberlin, I discovered he runs a group called Justice Through Music, which has received money from Soros and other rich progressives. Looking on JTMP’s front page, I discovered this interesting little bit of information.
MAY 24, 2012 - JTMP has been a participant in the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Programfor 3 years now, where citizens from around the world involved in the arts get to come to America and visit to learn about the role of arts in the US. This year we had visitors that came from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia to see how Justice Through Music Project uses art to raise awareness on issues, and to bring about social change. This year’s contingent had musicians, playwrights, and people involved in art production. We gave them a presentation and showed them many of our musical art videos that deal with politics and issues, while we spoke about how we operate and produce our art videos. We then showed them how we use this art on our website and YouTube channel to raise awareness on an issue to help bring about positive social change.
Here’s a bit more info about the International Visitor Leadership Program:
The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) is the U.S. Department of State’s premier professional exchange program. Launched in 1940, the IVLP is a professional exchange program that seeks to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other nations through carefully designed short-term visits to the U.S. for current and emerging foreign leaders. These visits reflect the International Visitors’ professional interests and support the foreign policy goals of the United States.
Who are International Visitors?
International Visitors are current or emerging leaders in government, politics, the media, education, the arts, business and other key fields. Over 5,000 International Visitors come to the United States from all over the world each year. Since its inception in 1940, thousands of distinguished individuals have participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program, including 330 current and former Chiefs of State and Heads of Government, thousands of cabinet-level ministers, and many other distinguished leaders from the public and private sectors.
So why is the State Department partnering with a convicted bomber and having him meet important people from around the world we’re trying to influence to like America? Who vets these organizations in the State Department? Is Brett Kimberlin the man we want to try and “win the hearts and minds” of the rest of the world?

Notice they're targeting bloggers, and not politicians or big-shooters like Limbaugh. They want to intimidate, and they're picking what they believe to be the softest target; to either get these people to stop telling the truth and move on to something else, or to live in fear for continuing to do what they do.
This will be a test for the conservative blogosphere, and I suspect the Leftists are watching this very closely. If they can continue to do that and get away with it without consequences, then it will only get worse. The job for the good guys is to band together and not let it drop no matter what.
This would be a good cause for Bill O'Reilly. He's a blowhard, but on things like this, he does better than ANYONE else at getting an outrage against decency into the news, demanding justice, and keeping it in the news until justice is done. If he is not in the loop on this yet, someone needs to bring him into it.
-
Beck's been on top of this, and if he and O'Reilly are still on good terms, then O'Reilly's been informed.
Kimberlin is, or was, the death beneficiary of a couple of rich old women; one, an Aunt, I think.
He needs to be stopped in a manner that leaves the watching-Left agape and stunned. And fearful.
-

Yep. That exactly why the Soros/Kerry/Streisand moronic alliance is funding a terrorist to go after the political opposition that's at the bottom of the food chain.

Breaking: Domestic Terrorist Kimberlin Has Conservative Blogger Arrested (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/breaking-domestic-terrorist-kimberlin-has-conservative-blogger-arrested/)
One person who attended the hearing in Montgomery County District Court said that Kimberlin asserted that Walker’s continued blogging represented a violation of a “peace order” Kimberlin had obtained against the Virginia attorney, who says Kimberlin tried to “frame” him for assault earlier this year.

Good Lord. This can't be allowed to stand. I don't care if the frikkin judge needs to be taken into the street and hung by his heels, and whatever jail Walker is held in dismantled by a mob of 100,000 brick by brick. This cannot stand.

During the course of the hearing — which reportedly lasted about an hour — Judge C.J. Vaughey appeared to become increasingly hostile toward Walker, who was taken into custody when the hearing concluded.
I really hope that someone who was at the hearing reports what went down. I sounds like Walker pissed off the judge (which is generally a counter-productive tactic).
Trust me on this: There's nothing "just" about the justice system.

Here is such a report (http://www.munseys.com/technosnarl/?p=1295)
Sounds like Walker lost it. Even if you are a lawyer, get representation. If you are too emotionally involved in the case ( which you will be if you are the plaintiff or the defendant) you need someone impartial there who can keep his/her cool and deal with characters like this judge. It sounds like BK was pushing walkers buttons the entire time ( he is a psychopath after all- they can do that well) and Walker responded accordingly, bringing on the wrath of the judge, who like a parent, is more interested in quiet and order in his courtroom than in actual justice. I suspect if Walker had kept his cool or let someone else represent him, the relevant facts would have come to light. Judges ALWAYS, ALWAYS , ALWAYS have a chip on their shoulder. They dislike people representing themselves, partially because of the lawyer fraternity, and partially because things just go smoother without the drama of emotional outbursts. That isn't to say the Judge was right, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for Walker if he was inviting contempt charges by his behavior and pushing a "retired" ( as in no consequences) judge at that.

I can't get the link to work so I'll have to explore this later.

I hope that Munsey doesn't mind but I'm posting the report...
When Your Honor, This Man Is a Convicted Domestic Terrorist Is Not Enough
This morning, I attended the hearing over a protective order sought by Brett Kimberlin against Aaron Walker in Rockville, MD. There were only a few people there. The actual hearing was first in the regular room for DV/Peace orders, so we had about an hour of, you know, couldn’t-service-him, my ex-threatened-my-property stuff.
Then the case was moved to a different courtroom, and the trial commenced fairly quickly.
Walker, the defendant, if you will–and I apologize for getting any terminology wrong, I don’t have a lot of experience with peace orders, as my thorough pre-adoption criminal background check shows–had to represent himself. Kimberlin had an attorney present, who issued a few objections, nearly inaudible to me.
The Judge, and I haven’t confirmed this, but I believe he was former Montgomery County Chief Justice James Vaughan–a guy who retired in ’04, and still takes the odd shift when stuff gets busy or there are vacations. In an earlier matter, Judge Vaughan mentioned he lived in the Caribbean, so pretty sure that’s the guy.–update, man’s named was Vaughey, not Vaughan. Is still retired, taking the odd shift.
It went bad for Walker pretty quickly. If you’ve followed the matter, and I know not a lot of people have, Walker, who is an attorney, acted in an advisory capacity for another blogger who had dealings with Kimberlin. Kimberlin later accused Walker of assault; those charges were null-processed; Walker wrote about things like you’ll read on Kimberlin’s wikipedia page, as well as his own dealings with Kimberlin.
Judge Vaughey had read up on the matter, knew Kimberlin’s history of felony convictions, but clearly was technically ignorant of even basic facts about what Twitter is, in one instance point saying “He Googled you 500,000 times” through the Tubes or whatever. The Judge had identified himself, earlier, as being “of the Royal Typewriter Generation,” and at another point, when confronted with the voluminous material from both sides, asked “don’t people have jobs, who reads this stuff?”
That said, Judge Vaughey did know a lot about the kind of respect a Judge is owed. He also, again, knew all about Kimberlin, saying “even a prostitute is entitled to protection.”
And Walker pissed him off. So did Kimberlin, but Walker identified himself as a Yale-trained lawyer, albeit one who was representing himself. Kimberlin made any number of allegations–essentially, everything that was said about his side–issuing death threats, harming business interests, summoning SWAT teams to the home–was said by Kimberlin to have been done by Walker’s side.
The pair went back and forth, back and forth, with Walker getting increasingly flustered, and the Judge finally asking, “what did they tell you in Yale Law School about interrupting a judge?” And later advising Walker to sit down, grip a pencil, and whenever he was tempted to speak over the Judge (or Kimberlin, but mostly over the Judge), to instead grip the pencil.
At one point, when Walker again interrupted Kimberlin, an attorney who was “advising” Walker–i.e.,. sitting in the coutroom, but not actually at Walker’s table, signaled to the plaintiff that he ought to “zip it.” This process amused Kimberlin, obviously.
For the Judge’s faults, he really did try to let Walker make his case. When Walker was able to question Kimberlin–not about everything, but merely the facts that had occurred in the last 30 days (which is all that’s relevant in a Peace Order Hearing), it became clear that Kimberlin would unravel under any kind of competent examination. The guy’s story changed 3 times in 5 minutes. First it was that Walker had issued 14k tweets against him–which the Judge assumed were to Kimberlin’s account, and by Walker. Then it was 54 pages of 10 tweets each actually by Walker. Then it was 15k tweets about Muslims or something.
Walker was also able to introduce for the record–again, Peace Order, it’s only about the last 30 days–Kimberlin’s convictions for bombings from I guess 1980, his revocation of parole in 1998, and even something where Kimberlin was convicted of perjury in 1973… ish. Then, when it came to actual convictions, there was one moment when Kimberlin came up with a defense about the judge being convicted of bribery, so he didn’t feel that those particular verdicts should be discussed, but that turned out to be an unrelated civil matter, and Judge Vaughey then insisted that the convictions remained in the record.
But, Walker didn’t press the credibility of Kimberlin enough. He was too easily sidetracked by the latter’s machinations, and every time Walker veered off, the Judge got madder.
Last portion of the trial, once the Judge decided he’d heard enough, came when Walker was asked, repeatedly, when does this all end? Judge cited his own upbringing in Brooklyn, where when guys had disagreements like these two did, somebody’d get picked up in a truck and they’d go have it out near the East River or words to that effect.
Walker at this point stated what he wanted was for Kimberlin to be tried by the State’s Attorney for perjury related to that earlier assault thing. Judge kept pressing Walker on this, stating that it’s entirely the Government’s business to decide who to punish (Libertarians might disagree), asking if the uproar could end, bringing up the concept of “Too Much Justice,” asking if Walker was aware of this–the latter indicated he was. Then the Judge and Walker swapped precedents for a little while, with the Judge… unimpressed.
Then the Judge ruled. He upheld the Peace Order, and he further stated that Walker was in no way allowed to harm Kimberlin–and by harm or contact the Judge sending blog posts or tweets. The latter was justified, in the Judge’s opinion, on Walker’s supposed “mob” having issued “death threats” to Kimberlin.
I left at that point. But apparently, Walker couldn’t quit while he was ahead, kept talking, and was arrested for, I assume, contempt. I hope contempt, and that he didn’t lose it further.
One other thing, besides technical illiteracy that may have motivated the Judge. MoCo is a notoriously timid place. There was a recent case where the authorities “didn’t do enough” in another peace order/DV matter. By all accounts, the burden of proof lies, in the extreme, with the defendants in such matters, and it’s likely the MoCo Judge was even more circumspect than usual.

Same guy; Aaron Worthing is the name under which he posted (@ Patterico and elsewhere). Aaron Walker is his real name.
-
It seems to me the judge identified himself pretty early of being ignorant of the digital age and as such how this clown drew this duty is a reflection of the poor quality to choose from in this neck of the woods. As such Walker ought to have kept that in mind and laid low. As it is I don't know what avenues exist beyond this, but on its face it appears this judge finds the concept of protecting the rights of a dirtbag paramount to the free discourse of factual verifiable information. That said information is negative and unflattering should not matter a damn if it is accurate. The world is an effed up place.

Gonna have to go to Plan B.
If the above report of Walker's actions in the courtroom are accurate, he couldn't have picked a more important moment to screw up and act like a douchebag. It seems to me this was the one chance to smack Kimberlin down according to the law, holding justice and the standard of civility up against Kimberlin's naked abuse of law enforcement and the judicial system. Instead, Walker failed to understand the import of the moment, and fumbled the ball.
At least that's my read, regardless of how right he is, how wrong the judge is, or what has gone before. This needed to be handled right.

What you say has merit, however there are other factors here:
From Patterico ... (http://patterico.com/2012/05/29/aaron-walker-arrested-for-blogging-clearing-some-of-the-fog-surrounding-todays-litigation/)
I am told that Aaron raised the Brandenburg case (that’s U.S. Supreme Court precedent on incitement, folks) and the judge said he didn’t care about Brandenburg.
That’s what I’m told.
So Brett Kimberlin, knowing that Aaron was coming to court to defend against a civil “peace order,” lay in ambush with a criminal charge, so that Aaron would be arrested.
One wonders if this is his new strategy: he sues you for your blogging, and simultaneously obtains a peace order saying you harassed him. If you blog about him again, he gets a judge to rubber stamp a criminal complaint for violating the peace order.
Now, if you don’t show up for the lawsuit, he gets a default judgment. If you do, you get arrested for blogging.
Catch 22. And a nice scam if you can get judges gullible enough to go along with it.
This is, I had thought, the United States of America. I thought we had freedom of speech here.
It will take a few days to nail down with precision what happened. But if the account I have given here turns out to be correct — if the basis of the arrest today was that Aaron incited others by blogging about a public figure — I want all lovers of the First Amendment to stand tall and ride to Aaron’s defense.
Because they’re not done. They claim they’re just getting started:

We can't have the rule of law without lawful judges.
Until recently we and the judges were expected to
have and to exercise common sense, it should be
illegal for an idiot to become a judge.

That's a litmus test CO, our side isn't allowed litmus tests, only the other side...didn't you get that message?

I'm afraid CO, that there's not enough of us non-idiots to go around.

It appears to me this judge is senile and ignorant...prospects for an appeal look good, as soon as they can get out from under this fool!

Judges gone wild, as full of themselves as congress, this situation

the voice of the people we reattained the rule of law. ::pray::

Thomas Jefferson recognized that people are willing to bear any number of abuses and usurpations unless and until they become absolutely intolerable. It's no different now. I don't know what the breaking point is, or even if there's a breaking point, not when people are still eating well and watching mindless entertainment in a La-Z-Boy recliner.

Kimberlin is pursuing this in the People's Republik of Demokratik Maryland for a reason. The Constitution of the United States isn't really recognized as law here.
Secondly, from what I read of all accounts, Kimberlin is NOT a political individual: he's a stalker, and running true to form. His "reward" in all of this is the psychological manipulation of his victim~and he is willing to go to any lengths to get it. He just has happened on a victim group that is a very lucrative target for him, because he can get paid by organizations to stalk their "enemies."
The only difference between a stalker and a serial killer is that we haven't found the bodies of the stalker's victims. Yet.
And the only way to stop either one of them is by death. Preferably theirs.

Eventually it will probably come to that, but probably not before Kimberlin draws first blood. Eventually someone will have to hurt this bully, and hurt 'em hard.

Good News! From Legal Insurrection
H/T Gateway Pundit:
State Attorney General decides to drop criminal charges filed by BK against Aaron Walker.
While Walker remains under a gag order, at least he is free from criminal charges based upon the flimsy and outrageous claim that he violated a prior “peace order,” via Michelle Malkin, Brett Kimberlin fail alert: Criminal charges against Aaron Walker dropped:

Team Kimberlin’s Busted Hustle Now Beginning to Unravel Rapidly (http://theothermccain.com/2012/06/16/team-kimberlins-busted-hustle-now-beginning-to-unravel-rapidly/)
Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints is fond of quoting General Patton’s famous lecture on tactics:
[blockquote]“Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that ‘we are holding our position.’ We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!” [/blockquote]
Every day, we grab hold of some piece of the Kimberlin saga — some previously unreported fact or overlooked detail, some development on the legal or political front — and we push it as hard as we can, making the story new and fresh every day. One month into this epic battle of informational warfare, there is now a nationwide readership of thousands following this story with fascinated interest, and I am keenly aware of the need to keep moving the ball down the field, like a football team driving toward a touchdown.

Good. Keep kicking the bastard and all who support him!

It's a good thing that charges against Aaron Walker were dropped. But the fact remains that he was arrested and taken into custody, his life completely disrupted, his long-term freedom threatened, and Kimberlin faces no consequence.
If Kinmberlin ultimately faces no consequence, the template is set for legal harassment of law abiding citizens to be wielded at will by the Left.
Kimberlin must pay, one way or the other. If lawlessness is to be used to intimidate and threaten conservatives, and the legal system will not enforce justice, then the only remaining option is for citizens to mete out justice regardless of the law.

Today, the gag order against Aaron Worthing aka Walker was lifted and shortly afterward, he was SWATted. (http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=139110)

BREAKING NEWS: tonight I was swatted. More details to come. @Liberty_Chick @Patterico @ali @michellemalkin @AoSHQ @Dust92 @rsmccain
Aaron Worthing (AKA: Aaron Walker) was just ungagged by a judge and allowed to blog about Brett Kimberlin.
Today he was swatted.
Twitchy had the celebratory tweets today about the ungagging.
The celebration was short-lived, because Worthing was SWATted a short time later.
Here is Aaron Worthing’s (Aaron Walker) last tweet at 7:32 et

Yeah I said it. Maybe I'll rethink it later, but I don't see an end unless the right people die.

But nobody is prosecuting the perpetrators. They can't face prison if nobody will arrest them.

We are denied justice around every corner now, combined with a continuous message that there is no democratic way to acquire it. It's a dangerous setup.
Honestly, I'm tired of the whole idea that the lid is going to blow off some day. Should've happened already.

“Eyebrows levitated. A drug-dealing colleague had memories of conversations with Kimberlin that struck him as odd: ‘We’d see a girl, who pubescent or prepubescent, and Brett would get this smile and say, “Hey, what do you think? Isn’t she great?”

Since the Brett Whathisname legal threats and SWATting, he took his family and went into hiding. I expect he'll pop up *somewhere* soon enough.

I visited the site just the other day and it was up and
running and no hint of a problem. Before, when he
went underground his partner kept the place up and
running. He would also file reports. This is odd.

First offering - Will Ashley Judd’s Mental Illness Impact Her Senate Bid? (http://www.viralread.com/2013/03/13/will-ashley-judds-mental-illness-impact-her-senate-bid/)
Answer? Hope so. Looks to be many reasons to shoot her down though.
Oh, and since she crazy, wonder if she has any guns? Huh, don't go there?

In the acquisition, ViralRead will also acquire co-bloggers Chris “Smitty” Smith, a veteran Navy officer and career IT specialist, joined the site in spring 2009, and contributor “Wombat” (also a Navy veteran) came aboard in fall 2010 to produce the daily “Live at Five” news roundup.
They actually bought him out. Good for him...although I hope it doesn't change.
