Adjudicated Pedophile Brett Kimberlin’s Dumb Federal Appeal is Dismissed

The "Fail!" continues...

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 convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin has been harassing me for over three 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.  Indeed, he sued me for saying this and lost on the issue of truth.  And more recently when his wife came to us claiming that this convicted terrorist had threatened her harm, we tried to help her leave him, and for that, he sued myself, John Hoge, Robert Stacy McCain and Ali Akbar for helping his wife and he is suing Hoge, McCain, Akbar, DB Capital Strategies, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Patrick “Patterico” Frey, Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan, Erick Erickson, Breitbart.com, the Blaze, Mercury Radio Arts, Red State, the National Bloggers Club, and  others alleging that we are all in organized crime for reporting factually about the spate of SWATtings committed against myself, Frey and Erickson.  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.

Update: I would be remiss not to mention that John Hoge is celebrating, in Klingon.

Probably some background will help make sense of this.  This is the appeal to the Fourth Circuit of his near-total loss in the RICO case that he filed against myself, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Simon and Shuster, et al, ridiculously claiming that we were all in a mafia or something.  You can read the opinion dismissing most of it, here, and you can read the opinion affirming that dismissal, here.

So Brett appealed that near-total dismissal, and I pointed out that he was engaged in premature appeal-ation here.  Go ahead, read the whole thing, and then read what the Fourth Circuit wrote, below the fold:

   Document 38

To provide a little reader education, you might not know what a per curiam opinion is.  That is a (typically) short, unsigned opinion by the entire court.  These kinds of opinions are generally reserved for when the issue is so blindingly obvious that they don’t really need much discussion and probable some clerk writes the whole thing and they sign off.  As for the unpublished opinion thing, that means they don’t want their opinions to be published in the official case reports, in this case because it is so blindingly obvious.  Still, 1) virtually all electronic databases will publish it anyway, 2) it is still something we can cite to show the outcome for us in this case as needed (which we probably won’t need to do), and 3) local rules allow the case to be cited if no “published” opinion is more on point.

Anyway, so the short version is I told Brett Kimberlin about two months ago he was wasting his time and money and today the Fourth Circuit told him he was, too.  That is, he is out a McKinley: 

I honestly had no idea this kind of bill existed until I googled it.

But, hey, one small victory for Kimberlin: the per curiam opinion doesn’t use the word “fail” even once!  He must be so proud!  No, the “fail!” is implicit.

In other Team Kimberlin news, Popehat tells of another partial victory in the endless Kimberlin litigation, here.  So, I will let him explain it.

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.
