Judge Vaughey Reprimanded, Freedom of Speech Vindicated

Another Setback to Brett Kimberlin’s Quest to Outlaw Criticism

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 four 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 for calling him a pedophile.  He lost on the issue of truth.  Has recently lost suits against also suing Hoge, Akbar, Dan Backer, DB Capital Strategies, Patrick “Patterico” Frey, Mandy Nagy (who is significantly incapacitated by a stroke), Lee Stranahan, the National Bloggers Club, and  others alleging that we are all in conspiracy to defame him because we reported factually about the spate of SWATtings committed against myself, Frey, Erickson and others.  And he sued two senators for not appointing Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.  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.

Now regular readers will recognize that name, Judge Vaughey, but I honestly don’t know how many of my readers have been following this Kimberlin Saga since May of 2012, so let me take a moment to review.

I guess it is all fair to say that this segment of the story started when I wrote this piece, probably one of the longest blog posts (assuming you follow the links to the rest of it) written in blogdom, and definitely one of the most popular and influential posts I have written.  If you are new to the story, it is hard to describe how influential it was.  In it, I lay out documentary and video evidence showing how Brett Kimberlin attempted to frame me for a crime.  Seriously, if you haven’t go read it.  That got read by a lot of people, but more importantly it convinced a lot of people that this was a bad situation, that it was serious, and it needed attention.  So other people started writing about it, who frankly had more reach than I did, and it cascaded from there.

Will Democrats Turn Against Gay Rights in the Wake of the Orlando Massacre?

So like many of you, I woke up to the news of a horrible massacre in Orlando, Florida.  This is a breaking news story, so you need to be extra leery about what you read, but currently the media seems to agree that around fifty people have died and around fifty three people have been injured.  The murder is a man named Omar Mateen, who is dead and thus sparing us the need for a trial and all of that.  Patterico has details and knowing how he runs his site, you can expect regular updates, either at the link or in subsequent posts.  I have social plans that will make it impossible to do the same, so check them out now and then.

And however one may wish to keep politics out of it, the left will not do so and we cannot unilaterally disarm.

In fact, unilateral disarmament may be a significant part of the problem in this.  Pulse nightclub, the scene of this massacre, was a gun free zone.  In fact, it couldn’t be a gun freedom zone if it wanted to, because Florida law prohibits clubs like this from allowing its patrons to carry.  I am also seeing reports that an off-duty cop was there as a security guard and armed.  Even if true, wouldn’t it have been better to have thirty people who are well-armed?  One guy might stop such and even, or he might just be the first to die.  I don’t want heroic dead cops.  I want stupid dead murderers, killed in a hail of gunfire from law abiding citizens exercising their most sacred right to bear arms and self-defense.
