This is the latest post in what I half-jokingly
call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not
everyone reads my blog. The short
version is that Kimberlin has been harassing me for over two years, his worst
conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a crime. I recognize that this might sound like an
incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that fact; in
other words, you don’t have to believe my word.
You only have to believe your eyes.
So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has been happening.
So Friday
Brett released his Second
Amended Complaint, and boy it was a doozy.
Now, there are presently gaps in the scan of it on PACER which I presume
means that a few pages stuck together as they were scanned. Brett hasn’t seen fit to serve it on us, yet,
and there remains the possibility that the judge might refuse to accept that
amendment. But even if accepted, that
new version of the complaint is full of fail, as I explained on Friday. Yes, a great deal of work will have to be
done answering this silliness, and blogging will be light as a result, but it’s
important to point and laugh at the fail on display, here.
Of course not
everyone is happy. John Hoge reports
signs that Team
Kimberlin is worried and exclusive to this site, we have video of a Kimberlin supporter reacting when he learned about what is in the Second
Amended Complaint. I admit my German is not
fluent, but I think I did a pretty good job translating in the subtitles...
You know, when
you are too crazy for Hitler, you are not doing well... But to be fair to Brett, maybe he shouldn’t
be so worried about Hitler’s tantrum. As
we can see, he didn’t take it particularly well when the bogus charges Brett
fiiled were dropped against me last year, but somehow Hitler made up, right?
I am weird
enough that I thought that line about checking under the cars was
hilarious. So did my wife.
And for those
who are not aware of what a Downfall parody is, you can read up on it, here.
Hey! Not every post about Kimberlin can be a new
document and deep analysis of the same.
Sometimes a post can be just pure fun.
Well, half of it anyway.
Getting a
little more serious, John Hoge has posted Twitchy’s and Michelle Malkin’s
Reply, to Brett’s opposition, to their Motion to Dismiss (the First Amended
Complaint). It’s full of win and you
will need popcorn in order to read it, here. Most of it speaks for itself, and Michael
Smith has been appropriately brutal in his evisceration of Kimberlin’s
arguments. As John observed earlier in
the day, the best paragraph came in response to Brett’s hallucinatory
comparison of himself to those who have suffered injustice throughout history,
where he starts with a straw man argument, and then goes all Godwin’s law on
us. For reference this is what he wrote:
Defendants
Malkin and Twitchy argue in their Motion that their conduct is justified
because Plaintiff was convicted of crimes 35 plus years ago. Reading their
brief is absolutely shocking because it makes the same arguments made in bygone
eras where blacks were hanged because of their color, where women were burned
as witches because they were different, where gays were tortured and tied to
fence posts to die because of their sexual orientation, and where Jews and
Gypsies were exterminated in the name of ethnic purity. In all these cases, the
actors justified their behavior on the grounds that the victims were not worthy
of life because they were lesser humans.
Mr. Smith’s
response was perfect:
The
outrageous parallel Mr. Kimberlin tries to draw between himself and various
persecuted individuals and groups through the ages is preposterous, and
deserves no response other than to note that none of those tragic victims ever
blew anyone’s leg off, perjured themselves, or concocted a lie specifically
designed (and timed) to throw an election for the Presidency of the United
States.
As I said on
Twitter, that’s gonna leave a mark.
I mean, I am
not even sure he needed to say that much—it kind of refuted itself—but it made
me smile when he did. Somewhere I
imagine the Malkins cheered on reading that line.
More legally
significant is that Mr. Smith did something pretty clever here, as well. You see, you might reasonably wonder why he
is bothering to file it given that Brett has written a new complaint setting
off a new cycle of Motion to Dismiss => Opposition => Reply. Well, you see, Smith explains that this cycle
might not even begin:
Mr. Kimberlin on March 7,
2014 filed his Second Amended Complaint, which normally would supersede the
First Amended Complaint (FAC) and render moot that part of this motion that
seeks its dismissal under Rule 12. (R.41 Memorandum, Argument Sections I-III,
pp. 6-40). See, 3-15 Moore’s Federal Practice - Civil § 15.17[4] & fn. 9
(citing cases). However, the March 7 filing ignored this Court's directive to
comply with Local Rule 103.6, which requires a redlined copy of the proposed amended
pleading showing all revisions from the prior version, additions and deletions.
R.88 Letter Order, p. 5. Given the possibility the Second Amended Complaint may
be stricken, leaving the FAC in place, this reply will address issues
pertaining to the motion to dismiss the FAC under Rule 12(b).
The sly thing
he did, here, was bring up the idea of striking the amended complaints. Why is that sly? Because if Smith filed a leave to move to
strike, the judge probably wouldn’t have granted such leave and Smith might
have irritated the judge. But by briefly—and
properly—bringing it up here, he can bring the issue to the judge’s attention,
and, if we are lucky, cause that complaint to be struck. It’s all proper, but it is absolutely the
best way to bring it to the judge’s attention.
Anyway, if you
haven’t read it, do it now. You’ll thank
me. And of course we still have news
coming. Brett still has three show causes
coming: in the Copyright case, explaining why that case shouldn’t be dismissed
for failure of service; in the RICO case on why he shouldn’t be sanctions for
forging a summons; and in the RICO case for why Ali Akbar, NBC, Lee Stranahan,
Kimberlin Unmasked and Breitbart shouldn’t also be dismissed for lack of
service.
Blogging will
probably be lighter in the short term as I work to get things ready in case the
judge accepts this Second Amended Complaint.
Yes, I will move to dismiss, even if it angers Hitler.
Yeah, scratch
that... especially if it angers Hitler.

My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted
terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame
me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years. I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you
read starting here,
you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video
evidence. If you would like to help in
the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the donation link on
the right. And thank you.

Disclaimer:
I have accused
some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even
criminal. In all cases, the only justice
I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice
system. I do not want to see vigilante
violence against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally
wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the
particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed
communication. I say this in part
because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want
that to happen to him.
And for that matter,
don’t go on his property. Don’t sneak
around and try to photograph him.
Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision. Your behavior could quickly cross the line
into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not
contact his organizations, either. And
most of all, leave his family alone.
The only
exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course
nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any
stories you might report. And even then
if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request. That this is a key element in making out a
harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you
refuse.
And let me say
something else. In my heart of hearts, I
don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you
haven’t don’t start.
Actually the People vs Larry Flint (movie) was with Woody Harrelson...not Edward Norton.
ReplyDeleteIt was both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwhNyUkec6Y
DeleteBravo! I especially liked the timing on the Stalin line. Very well assembled and yes, Smith's Reply is brutal!
ReplyDeletethank you. that stalin idea was borrowed from a friend in a hitler parody i don't think he ultimately aired. I didn't borrow his full line (I don't even remember exactly what hitler said at that point in his parody), but making sure you said Stalin, somehow, right at that moment, just to make people go, "wait, what?! is this what Hitler is actually saying?"
