In Which I Admit I was Wrong About Convicted Perjurer and Terrorist Brett Kimberlin

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.

Well, tonight Brett Kimberlin has filed his second amended complaint.  John has posted it, and having read it I am going to have to admit I was wrong about Brett.

No, not on the issue of him framing me for a crime, getting my wife and I fired, him being a censorious douchebag, and so on.  I wasn’t wrong to say an of those things; he richly deserve all of it.  But I was wrong in that I overestimated his competence and organizational skills.  Specifically, in my motion to strike his oppositions, I wrote:

It is common in a motion to dismiss for a defendant to catalogue the shortcomings of a complaint in the style of “the plaintiff has failed to allege X, Y and Z and therefore this claim should be dismissed.”  If leave to amend is granted, this invites an unscrupulous plaintiff to lie and simply say “now I allege X, Y and Z, too!” regardless of the truth.

But that depended on the assumption that Brett was smart enough to see the flaws in his complaint that we pointed out, to recognize what we pointed out to him, and then file a new complaint that addressed those shortcomings.  What Brett has filed tonight shows that he is not nearly that smart, or at least not that competent and organized.  So, dear reader, I apologize for my error.

Yes, dear reader, it is bad.  It is so bad that I could cut and paste most of my motion to dismiss into this with only minimal alteration and feel safe that the motion would be granted.  It is so bad that I am going to be challenged in literally finding a new way to say what I have already said.  It is that ineffectual.

How bad is it?  It is so bad that he even fouled up one of the most basic requirements of pleading.  In Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(a), it says:

Every pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney's name—or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented. The paper must state the signer's address, e-mail address, and telephone number.

So see if you can see the problem with the very last lines of this document...

  

I mean how hard is that?  And of course regular observers know that the court specifically told him he was supposed to comply with this rule.  So that is how little respect he has shown this court: he doesn’t even obey the simplest commands from it even after being reminded.

And that is not the only problem with this document, but I am still deciding how much of my hand I wish to show.  I think I need to sleep on it and absorb the full badness of it.

It is also worth noting that he has added a count for “battery,” basically repeating his false claim that I beat him up outside a courtroom about two years ago.  But you know by now what actually happened, there, was he attempted to frame me for it and the claims fell apart.  If you have not heard this before, this video sums it up well:

Yes, dear reader, Brett Kimberlin tried to frame me for a crime and now is trying to sue me for what he knows I didn’t do.  The mind boggles.

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.
