Homophobic Mississippi blogger Douglas Handshoe loses again, this time in Mississippi state court: JUDGMENT OF NOVA SCOTIA COURT NOT REPUGNANT, says judge

The owners of Trout Point Lodge, Vaughn Perret and Charles Leary, have announced their trial court victory over Mississippi blogger Douglas K. Handshoe in Hancock County Circuit Court in their effort to enforce a momentous Canadian copyright infringement judgment.

Handshoe had initiated a barrage of litigation and motions to try to prevent this eventuality--including throwing his company Slabbed New Media into Chapter 11 bankruptcy--weaving conspiracy theories and arguing that Canadian law and court decisions were repugnant to Mississippi law. Judge Chris Schmidt found otherwise in an Order issued on January 5, 2017. 

The judge discounted Handshoe's argument that the Nova Scotia Supreme Court had no personal jurisdiction over him and detailed the blogger's numerous appearances and motions in the Canadian action in 2013. Judge Schmidt also embraced comity with Canada, and dismissed Handshoe's arguments that the 2010 SPEECH Act applied to this case. "The judgment of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court is not repugnant to Mississippi Law," stated the Order. 

Handshoe has failed to appreciate the difference between his "free speech" rights--which in Handshoe's universe only he is entitled to--and the protection of intellectual property rights, a mistake that has proved fatal to his unceasing campaign to injure Leary, Perret, and their business Trout Point Lodge. Handshoe was represented by attorney G. Gerald Cruthird. 

More to come . . . 

Court orders deadline for homophobic Mississippi blogger to answer sanctions motion for vexatious litigation

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississipp immediately responded to a motion from Handshoe's former litigation opponent, process server Chris Yount. Within one day, Judge Keith Starrett has set a deadline by which Handshoe must answer Yount's request for sanctions against Handshoe, including possibly enjoining him from filing more lawsuits. The Mississippi blogger's case against Yount and Daniel Abel was thrown out in its entirety last week by the judge.

Yount is also asking for return of the money he had to earier pay Handshoe, reimursing him for service costs.

As an exhibit, Yount included an email he received from Handshoe on the same day the homophobic blogger entered a default against his co-defendant Abel. The default move would ultimately cause Judge Starrett to sua sponte issue orders dismissing allegations, and demanding that Handshoe show cause and amend his lawsuit so that it actually stated a proper claim. Handshoe failed on both. The email shows Handshoe threatening to sue Yount's minor son if Yount did not immediately drop his defamation lawsuit against Handshoe in Louisiana. Handshoe already owes Yount substantial attorney's fees awarded by a decision of the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal last year.

"I will be moving to incude your son . . . as a defendant in the federal court matter," Handshoe wrote to Yount on December 11, 2015, "If you do not move to dismiss the 24th JDC case by close of business Monday, I will be filing to amend this action to include" Yount's son. We will see what the federal judge makes of such a threat, which Handshoe characterized as a "settlement" offer. Suing someone's minor child unless they drop their valid lawsuit against you doesn't look like good faith to  legal observers.

Yount also filed a table he compiled of all the litigation Handshoe has started over the past couple of year, including suing the National Geographic Society for conspiracy, and earlier trying to get an injunction from the Mississippi federal court against the chief judge of New Orleans Civil District Court so that Handshoe would not have to answer discovery requests!  That table, filed as "Exhibit B" can be viewed here and is quite extraordinary.

Handshoe has sued some parties multiple times, often with seemingly overlapping claimsof conspiracy and "abuse of process" as well as misrepresentation under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. This includes gay couple Charles Leary and Vaughn Perret, who have judgments against Handshoe from Nova Scotia Supreme Court. Handshoe continues to publish homophobic comments on his blog. He had stated on his blog and in court papers that a drawing by Yount's son  showed "a young child being sodomized by a line of robots." This resulted in Yount suing him for defamation (that's not what the drawing depicted). Handshoe, in turn, sued Yount in the case that was just dismissed by Judge Starrett.

Yount also points out in his brief that Handshoe has allegedly diobeyed rules regarding compulsory counterclaims precisely designed so the amount of lawsuits is not multiplied.

Handshoe has until January 29, 2016, to respond. In his final decision in this case, Judge Starrett found Handshoe went beyond the scope of his order, and also misrepresented facts to the court. It looks like Handshoe will have a busy January! Tick tock, tick tock . . . .

Homophobic blogger Douglas Handshoe loses attempt to get a court to censor free speech about him

Homophobic Mississippi blogger Douglas Handshoe's campaign of endless litigation aimed at chilling free speech about him has hit another brick wall as U.S. district court judge Keith Starrett has dismissed Handshoe's lawsuit against the Toronto Star and one of its investigative reporters.  In addition the court has recently dismissed lawsuit allegations Handshoe made against Loyola University, civil rights attorney Daniel Abel, and process server Chris Yount in a seperate legal action (update coming up).

Handshoe sued the Star and the Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspapers in March, 2015, for referring to him as homophobic, claiming the statements were defamatory despite the fact that his homophobia was enshrined in published court decisions about him.

"Nova Scotia couple wins copyright lawsuit against homophobic U.S. blogger" was the title of the article in question, written by Peter Edwards.

Now, it seems, the article will remain in publication, as it has since February, 2014, when it was first published. Handshoe's lawsuit against Nova Scotia's largest daily, the Chronicle-Herald, was also dismissed, with no retraction from that newspaper.

There was no doubt that in February, 2014, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court found Handshoe, an accountant, to have published homophobic material about the Canadian gay couple. Justice Kevin Coady reiterated the findings of a previous court decision about Handshoe: "The statements also contained anti-gay rhetoric and homophobic comments." As the Justice found:

The following is but a taste of the defamation plead: Mr. Handshoe has continued to repeatedly publish words referring to the personal plaintiffs as "girls", "bitches", "bottom boys", "wives", "perverted" and "queer fag scum."

Judge Starrett in Mississippi federal court found that Handshoe's lawsuit against Canada's largest-circulation newspaper did not accord with the U.S. Constitution:

Though Mississippi is mentioned in the article, it is mentioned only in-so-much as it identifies where Plaintiff resides and conducts his blogging, which is the conduct on which the Canadian lawsuit is based. Instead of focusing on Plaintiff’s Mississippi activities, the article focuses predominantly on the lawsuit those activities inspired in Canada and the decision of the Canadian court.

Because the subject of the article is the Canadian lawsuit, the targeted audience was Canadian readers, and no Mississippi sources other than Plaintiff himself were used, the Court finds that the focal point of the article was Canada, not Mississippi. As such, the Court cannot exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendants under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In another lawsuit before the same federal judge, Handshoe also recently had his conspiratorial allegations against Loyola University of New Orleans and its legal clinic dismissed as well. The blogger's campaign of pointless litigation in Mississippi aims to stop free speech about him and his actions on his blog "Slabbed," precisely the kind of civil rights that he endlessly proclaims for himself in justifying his online commentary on others. What's good for the gander is not good for the goose in Handshoe's case. The hypocrisy in his recent lawsuits in his home state is readily apparent.

Homophobic Mississippi blogger settles "homophobic" libel lawsuit with no retraction of his homophobia; after Supreme Court decision, continues homophobic publishing

A Mississippi accountant various Canadian and United States courts have identified as the publisher of a blatantly homophobic blog, "Slabbed," has apparently had to settle his libel lawsuit against the Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspaper with nothing to show for it. Bay St. Louis resident Douglas

Homophobic blogger Douglas Handshoe

Handshoe's federal lawsuit alleged the paper had defamed him by identifying him as a homophobe. Chief Judge Louis Guirola issued an Order finding "all claims of the pro se Plaintiff which were brought in this civil action or which might have been are now dismissed finally and with prejudice."

The litigious Handshoe filed the lawsuit despite the fact that a U.S. district court judge labelled Handshoe as homophobic in 2012, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal termed his blog publications "grotesque" in 2013, and two justices of the Nova Scotia Supeme Court found him unmistakably homophobic in 2012 and 2014. All these courts were commenting on Handshoe's fervent online attacks on Charles Leary and Vaughan Perret, a gay couple who run an acclaimed accommodation business in Nova Scotia. 

The court decision of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court that the Chronicle-Herald rightly reported on found the following about Handshoe:

The evidence presented establishes that Mr. Handshoe’s defamatory actions have continued unabated since Justice Hood’s order.  This is supported by the statement of claim which I must accept as proven.  The following is but a taste of the defamation plead:

•         Mr. Handshoe has continued to repeatedly publish words   referring to the personal plaintiffs as “girls”, “bitches”, “bottom boys”, “wives”, “perverted” and “queer fag scum.”

•         Mr. Handshoe has continued to publish that the applicants were long term recipients of criminal proceeds from the Broussard criminal scheme.

•        Trout Poitn Lodge was described by Mr. Handshoe as a shell company used for the purposes of a criminal conspiracy including money laundering.

•         The applicants were part of an international criminal conspiracy designed to silence the investigation of their own criminal wrongdoing.  Also that their Nova Scotia legal proceedings were criminally motivated and fraudulent.

•         The plaintiffs and Mr. Boussard illegally influenced the presiding Justice of the Supreme Court in Yarmouth to deprive Mr. Handshoe of his civil rights and due process.

•         Mr. Handshoe published that the applicants intentionally misled Justice Hood and therefore committed perjury.

•         The applicants were members of a Louisiana company involved in criminal activities alleged by American prosecutors.

•         Mr. Handshoe republished the following: “I'll add here, in case it is not self‑evident, that I built complete dossiers on all the players in this social group and I intend through time to roll out each and every one in excruciating detail as long as the lawsuit in Canada is an outstanding issue for Slabbed.  The reason for this is that this band of gay men act as a unit that will also scatter like cockroaches when the heat is applied.”

•         Mr. Handshoe created a video that was published on YouTube.  The content created the implication that the applicants were part of the Aaron Boussard criminal scandal, were involved in criminal activities with Broussard such as those alleged to have been conducted using Nova Scotia Enterprises, LLC, and that Trout Point Lodge was recipient of criminal monies and a place of criminal activity.  Handshoe referred to and pictured Broussard as the “Goatherder in Chief” and the Plaintiff’s as “the goatherders.”

Justice Kevin Coady determined Handshoe's words "have no relationship to fact or truth."

Notably, the settlement with the Canadian daily newspaper has resulted in no public retraction whatsoever of the article identifying Handshoe as homophobic that was central to Handshoe's purported legal case. The settlement came on the cusp of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on gay marriage. In remarks in the Rose Garden, President Obama welcomed the decision, said the decision on gay marriage “affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts.” “Today,” the President said, “we can say, in no uncertain terms, that we have made our union a little more perfect.” Handshoe and Slabbed appear to be like the Confederate flag, a remant of intolerance from a bygone era.

Handshoe's defamation lawsuit against the Toronto Star newspaper for its coverage of the same Nova Scotia court proceeding is still ongoing. An avid conspiracy theorist, Handshoe has also sued Loyola University Law School and a process server for an alleged conspiracy involving "a line of gay robots."

Major defeat for homophobic Mississippi & Louisiana bloggers in ill-conceived anti-SLAPP motions: Louisiana 5th Circuit Court of Appeal says no to Doug Handshoe & lawyer Bobby Truitt, purveyors of "clickbait"

In a fourteen-page opinion rendered May 28, the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal has handed a major defeat to homophobic bogger Douglas Handshoe of Mississippi and his inveterate attorney and frequent blog commenter Jack E. "Bobby" Truitt, a lawyer who practices from Covington, Louisiana. The appellate decision constitutes a major victory for victims of Internet harassment and online libel. The lawsuit also named Slabbed New Media, LLC, of which Handshoe's wife Jennifer Handshoe is reportedly an officer.

Last year, Handshoe had won a legal motion, having the libel case against him dismissed using a special motion to strike under Louisiana's Article 971, which protects commentary on public issues. The Plaintiffs, Chris Yount and his minor son appealed.

The appeal court unanimously reversed and remanded the decision of Judge Scott Schlegel in a case where civil process server Yount has sued Handshoe and Truitt for publishing defamatory comments on the blog Slabbed about Mr. Yount and his son. According to the allegations in the lawsuit, the comments were per se defamatory because they accused Yount of "innapropriate and and illegal sexual relations with the minor child," according to the decision. Handshoe had published that the drawing depicted a boy being sodomized by a "line of gay robots," and according to Yount's complaint, Truitt and Handshoe acted in concert to identify the child and to create defamatory innuendo on Slabbed. The Court repeatedly refers to the drawing as "pornographic." Handshoe has been identified as homophobic by courts in both the U.S. and Canada.

Yount's lawsuit will now go forward, and legal observers state that it could result in substantial damages being assessed against Handshoe and Truitt. The Court also ordered Judge Schlegel to award mandatory attorney's fees to Yount. Handshoe and Truitt also currently owe Daniel Abel attorney's fees as a result of their prior losses on anti-SLAPP special motions to strike in Abel's libel suit against them in New Orleans.

Yount is involved in a divorce case in Louisiana, and his only connection with Handshoe or Truitt had been to serve Handshoe with notice of civil lawsuits on several occasions, including from Trout Point Lodge in Nova Scotia, Canada, and Daniel Abel in Louisiana. Handshoe dug into the court file to find dirt on Yount, apparently in retaliation for being served.

"Captions and comments authored by Mr. Handshoe and Mr. Truitt underneath the drawing clearly identified the author as a minor child and the divorce proceedings in which he was involved," says the decision.  The Court continued

Mr. Handshoe argues that his publication of a pornographic drawing and evidence under seal from a private divorce proceedings was in connection with a public issue because: 1) his web site www.slabbed.org regularly breaks news and comments on "public issues" and 2) the blog posts dealt with publicly available information from court filings.

Handshoe was attempting to use Louisiana's anti-SLAPP legislation as a shield against being sued for targetting Yount with allegedly defamatory attacks. This mirrors his previous attempts--some succesful and some not--to block Nova Scotia Supreme Court decisions against him using the U.S. SPEECH Act. SLAPP stands for "strategic lawsuit against public participation." Handshoe has repeatedly referred to his numerous legal foes as "SLAPP happy nut jobs." Now, it appears the tables have turned.

The Fifth Circuit clearly and properly found there are limits on "free speech," even on the Internet, and that those injured online can seek redress through the courts. Louisiana's anti-SLAPP law will not be used to shield defendants like Doug Handshoe and Bobby Truitt from justice.

Judge Robert A. Chaisson clearly rejected as "absurd" the contention that one could seek the protection of the anti-SLAPP provisions simply because one is commenting on a judicial proceeding. In this regard, the Court cut no slack to Judge Schelgel or Handshoe & Truitt:

Under this reasoning, (which is the same interpretation used by the trial court), any cause of action arising from any written or oral statement made in connection with any kind of government activity or proceeding would be subject to special motions to strike regardless of whether or not the statements were made in connection with a public issue. Consequently, any party could defame or invade the privacy of a person involved in a divorce proceeding, traffic violation, child custody dispute, marriage, mortgage registration, passport application, or driver's license renewal  and be immunized from legal repercussions of damage to others through the use of an extraordinary procedural remedy.

 Flatly rejecting this reasoning and its application to the facts of the Yount case, Judge Chaisson drew a clear distinction between legimitate commentary on matter of true public interest, which is what anti-SLAPP laws should protect, and the kind of "private domestic matter" such as Yount's divorce.

Mr. Handshoe confuses the public right of access to judicial proceedings with the right to  free speech and petition. All of these rights are protected under the Constitutions of the United States  and Louisiana, by the express language of the statute,  but only actions arising under the latter rights  are protected by an Article 971 motion.   While information may be made available to the public for purposes of ensuring fairness in our judicial proceedings, there may be legal consequences should that same information be published and distributed as clickbait to millions of people on the internet in a manner that defames or invades the privacy of another. "The right to inspect judicial records should not trump the individual's privacy rights, especially where the purpose is to gratify spite, promote public scandal, or to publicize the embarrassing details of a divorce case." Copeland v. Copeland, 07-0177 (La. 10/16/07), 966 So.2d 1040,  1052.

Handshoe has sued Daniel Abel for "misrepresentation" under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act for serving a takedown notice on Handshoe's web host related to the pornographic drawing pursuant to a court order. Judge Chaisson's decisions seems to make clear that Abel was acting properly in serving the notice, and there was no misrepresentation. This could be a major blow to Handshoe's lawsuit in Mississippi federal court. In the same case, Handshoe also sued Loyola University Law School, which represented Yount's minor child in the appeal to the Fifth Circuit. Handshoe alleges Yount, Abel, and the Law School  engaged in "malicious prosecution" and "abuse of process" by suing him. One could conclude the true abuse of process and malicious prosecution may be being perpetrated by Handshoe and Slabbed New Media.

Handshoe's legal arguments in that federal court case now appear totally specious and unsubstaniated given the appeal court decision. Doubtless, the defendant will bring the Fifth Circuit decision to the attention of federal judge Starrett.

Handshoe also sued the Toronto Star and Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspapers for publicly identifying him as homophobic (despite the fact that the U.S. District Court in Gulport called him that in a decision). Hearings in all those cases are coming soon. Mr. Abel is slowly moving forward with his defamation action against Handshoe, Truitt, and Anne-Marie Vandenweghe. Trout Point Lodge and its owners are actively seeking enrollment of a copyright infringement judgment against Handshoe in Mississippi state court. They also have a substantial defamation judgment from Nova Scotia Supreme Court that could be enrolled in Mississippi at any time.

It looks like the proverbial walls are closing in on blogger Handshoe and his "promotion of public scandal."

Second law journal article finds fault in SPEECH Act: Trout Point Lodge v. Handshoe

An article in the Journal of International & Comparative Law of the Chicago-Kent College of Law has supported the conclusons of another recent law journal article to find that the SPEECH Act, as aaplied by both the district court and the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit in Trout Point Lodge v. Handshoe, is overly broad and in sorry need of reform:

the instant case . . . . exposes a potential over inclusivity of the SPEECH Act because of its universal applicability in defamation cases and lack of distinction between illegitimate and legitimate fora. Without the proper ability to distingush between the two types of fora, the SPEECH Act penalizes those plaintiffs filing claims in good faith in appropriate fora.

 The article goes on to speak of a "fundamental failing" of the SPEECH Act, and to state that the Act "should be amended."

Trout Point Lodge was an appelate case of first impression for the 2010 SPEECH Act, which resulted in two American citizens resident in Canada being denied their right to equal protection under the U.S. Constitution. An inveterage homophobic blogger, Douglas Handshoe, had targetted Charles Leary and Vaughan Perret for online harassment after his then-web host dropped Handshoe's account for republsihing without permission a copyrighted article that erroneously mentioned Leary & Perret's Nova Scotia business as being involved in a Louisiana corruption scandal.

Federal judge allows homophobic blogger & legal clown Handshoe to sue Loyola University of New Orleans after sitting on motion to dismiss

District Court Judge Keith Starrett has approved homophobic blogger & St. Stanislaus alumnus Douglas Handshoe's motion to amend his lawsuit against civil rights attorney Daniel Abel to include as defendants Loyola University of New Orleans, the associate director of its legal clinic Ramona Fernandez, a process server, and a law school student. Handshoe's allegations against the university include abuse of process and malicious prosecution.

On Friday, March 13, 2015, Handshoe actually filed his amended complaint in Starrett's Mississippi court.

Judge Starrett issued the order on March 10, 2015, in part, he stated because Mr. Abel had failed to file an opposition to Handshoe's motion to amend the legal action to include the new defendants and claims. The lawsuit was previously only based on alleged misrepresentation under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. The judge also said, however, that under federal law plaintiffs are generally allowed to make a first amendment.

The purported copyright violation by Abel was for "misrepresentation" in a take down notice sent to Handshoe's web host HostGator. As the Technology & Marketing Law Blog recently stated this will be a difficult case to make out:

 To discourage abuses of the notice-and-takedown system, Congress enacted 17 USC 512(f) to create a new cause of action for sending bogus takedown notices.

512(f) was a good idea, but it has failed terribly in the field. In the 2004 Rossi case, the Ninth Circuit gutted 512(f) by requiring 512(f) plaintiffs show that a takedown notice sender lacked subjective good faith. Absent a “smoking gun” email (which, almost certainly, will be found only in discovery and only if the 512(f) case survives a motion to dismiss), it’s virtually impossible for a plaintiff to prove the absence of subjective good faith.

Mr. Abel had filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on August 6, 2014. Judge Starrett never ruled on the motion until the same day he decided in favor of Handshoe; that is more than 7 months after Abel's motion was filed. Legal observers say this is an extraordinary amount of time for the judge not to rule on a motion challenging jurisdiction. Federal court rules say motions on jurisdiction supposedly have priority. By contrast, Judge Starrett ruled on Handshoe's motion to amend in less than a couple of weeks since the deadline passed for Abel to file his opposition.

Legal clown Douglas Handshoe, CPA

The legal controversy is described in Handshoe's rambling legal complaint where he appears to allege that "abuse of process" and "malicious prosecution" occurred when Loyola participated in filing an ongoing appeal to the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal of a judge's order granting Handshoe's anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) motion in a defamation suit filed on behalf of a father and his minor child. Handshoe calls the appeal brief filed by the university legal clinic "scandalous."

Remarkably, Canadian court documents show that Handshoe was admonished in 2013 by judges there while he was a defendant in a copyright infringement and defamation lawsuit precisely for filing "rude" and scandalous materials with the court. Handshoe ultimately lost in that case, and also lost an attempt to have the resulting proceeding against him removed to federal court under the SPEECH Act.

Loyola's legal clinic was appointed by the Louisians state divorce court to represent the minor child's interests. The father--a process server who has served Handshoe with lawsuits on several occasions--was involved in a divorce proceeding. In what distinctly appears like payback for having served him with legal process, Handshoe took items from the divorce court file, including a drawing by the minor child, for publication on his blog. The court record was shortly thereafter sealed apparently due to Handshoe's publications on his blog. The father and Loyola jointly filed the appeal brief.

Legal observers say it is entirely unclear if Handshoe has actually stated any facts or law in his lawsuit sufficient to constitute "abuse of process" and "malicious prosecution." In addition, such complaints are usually brought within the court where the alleged abuse and malcicious prosecution occured. The fact that an appeal is ongoing also makes Handshoe's claims before Judge Starrett appear dubious. 

This started when Handshoe and Jack "Bobby" Truitt were sued by the process server, Chris Yount, for internet defamation. Handshoe and his Covington attorney Truitt allegedly defamed Yount through innuendo published on Slabbbed that he had molested the minor child. Truitt allegedly participated in identifying Yount and his child by posting comments on Slabbed. Handshoe claims the child's drawing showed "a young child being sodomized by a line of robots." On his blog he had published that the drawing depicted a male child being sodomized. The Louisiana divorce court apparently did not agree, and any reasonable person looking at the drawing could not come to that conlusion, which appears to be motivated by what attorney Abel termed Handshoe's personal obsession with other men's sexuality. Truitt has, since Handshoe's intention to sue Loyola became public, withdrawn the Truitt Law Firm's advertising from Handshoe's web site, distancing himself from the blog. Truitt graduated from Loyola Law School.

An open question remains as to whether Handshoe will "man up"--one of his favorite phrases--and actually serve Loyola, Fernandez, and the others with the lawsuit, or if he's simply engaged in using the courts to chill speech he doesn't like.

According to the district court order, Abel is free to again file documents seeking dismissals of the lawsuit, including possibly seeking attorney's fees, which started when Abel served a takedown notice on Handshoe's web host pursuant to an order from the Louisiana court. The aim was to have the sensitive drawing removed from publication on Handshoe's blog. Allegedly, Handshoe published the drawing yet again in another blog post. Remarkably, Judge Starrett also earlier denied Abel's motion to remove the sexually-explicit image from the public court file available online. 

Abel claims he has no contacts with Mississippi. One can only wonder how Handshoe and his wife Jennifer Handshoe or any other parents would respond to having their child's drawing published prominently on the internet, let alone alongside alleged accusations about sexual molestation.

Loyola, attorney Fernandez, and the other defendants will now likely have to answer Handshoe as well. They are likely to seek dismissal on various grounds as well as fees & costs.

If the case goes forward, it will pose numerous legal questions, including the boundaries of the First Amendment and a Mississippi federal court's power to interfere in the judicial process of Louisiana state courts. Handshoe's action could be seen as an illegal collateral attack. Handshoe's motives, privacy concerns and the protection of the minor child will be important issues.

Civil rights attorney Daniel Abel prevails in Louisiana Supreme Court against "fabled Slabbed legal team," day after legal clown Doug Handshoe sues Loyola University and its legal clinic

Friday the 13th wasn't a very good day for "super lawyer" Jack Etherton Truitt and his client Douglas Handshoe. 

On February 13, the seven Justices of the Louisiana Supreme Court unanimously denied the appeal by "Bobby" Truitt of a New Orleans trial court decision that Trout Point Lodge co-owner Daniel Abel's lawsuit against Truitt, homophobic blogger Handshoe, and former Jefferson Parish Assistant Attorney Anne-Marie Vandenweghe was purportedly an anti-SLAPP suit. SLAPP stands for "strategic lawsuit against public participation." This decisively puts to rest any contention by the three defendants that Abel is suing in defamation over a matter of public interest or that he is a public figure. There is no public interest at issue in Abel's lawsuit, the trial court, the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal, and now the Supreme Court have decided.

Truitt, who once ignorantly denied in a Twitter exchange with this blog that the prevailing party in a Louisiana CCP Article 971 (anti-SLAPP) motion is owed attorney's fees by the losing party, will now indeed owe Mr. Abel his fees, which could be substantial. Truitt has for some reason removed that tweet--where he also questioned where Randall Cajun went to law school--from publication.

Mr. Truitt attended law school at Loyola University in New Orleans, as did Mr. Abel.

Loyola University sued by Handshoe
The day before the Supreme Court handed down its decision, February 12, Handshoe had filed a motion to amend his Mississippi federal court lawsuit against Abel for alleged misrepresentation under the U.S. Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). The amendment asks to include as new defendants Loyola University of New Orleans, the Loyola legal clinic Associate Director Ramona Fernandez, legal student Janey Lamar, and process server Chris Yount. Handshoe alleges counts of "abuse of process" and "malicious prosecution." He goes to the extent of ironically stating that he is being "harassed" and "defamed" through legal process by the University's legal clinic and the others. He also accuses the new defendants and Abel of "cynically using a minor child that was a non-party to the litigation" to do so. There was "misuse of the legal process, incuding the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and Louisiana's defamation laws to silence reporting on a matter of public interest," Handshoe wrote in his brief for Judge Keith Starrett. 

Fernandez and the non-profit legal clinic are representing the minor child in an appeal of a trial court decision that Yount's defamation lawsuit against Handshoe and Jack Truitt was indeed an anti-SLAPP suit. Lamar is simply a law student who works at the clinic, which was appointed by court order to represent the child's interests in legal matters, including the divorce.

Unfortunately for Handshoe, the Chief Judge of New Orleans Civil District Court, the Court of Appeal, and now the Supreme Court have now said public interest is lacking with regards to Abel and Trout Point Lodge, undercutting Handshoe's conclusory allegations in Mississippi federal court. Handshoe has repeatedly referred to Abel and his associates as "SLAPP Happy Nut Jobs," an allegation now definitvely reputiated by three Louisiana courts. Handshoe will pay the consequences, but will he cease his blogging of falsehoods?

Notably, Handshoe is also now suing Yount and Abel for "abuse of process" and "malicious prosecution" in two courts at the same time, which appears far more than legally dubious. All of his legal adversaries, according to Handshoe's various legal filings, are part of a grand international conspiracy to silence his blogging, which a U.S. federal district court described in 2012 as a "campaign" to harass, damage, and embarass his targets. 

In addition, Handshoe's primary allegation that attorney Abel is guilty of "misrepresentation" under the DMCA looks like pure folly. Abel was the legal representative of the father of a minor child when a DMCA notice was served on Handshoe's web host. By law, the father was guardian of all intellectual property generated by the child, and therefore had legal standing to serve the DMCA notice regarding Handshoe's publication of the child's drawing on his web site "Slabbed." Handshoe's Mississippi brief also suggests, Abel had been ordered by the court in Louisiana to see that the drawing was removed from publication on Handshoe's web site. Handshoe claims that order was immaterial.

According to legal commentators, Abel, as the father's attorney, was fully within his rights to act as the father's agent in serving the notice; in fact, attorneys commonly draft and serve DMCA notices. In addition, over 5 months ago, Abel challenged the very jurisdiction of the Mississippi federal court over him. The judge in that case, however, has not issued any rulings since early September, 2014. 

As previously mentioned, in addition to being sued for defamation by Abel in New Orleans, Handshoe and attorney Truitt are also being sued for defamation in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana by Chris Yount, a process server and private investigator who has worked for Abel. According to Handshoe's web site and court documents, Yount served Handshoe with legal process on several occasions over the past few years. This included in two Nova Scotia Supreme Court cases where plaintiffs including Trout Point Lodge have won $817,000 in damages against Handshoe for defamation and copyright infringement. To many observers, Handshoe's publishing about Yount's child and now his lawsuit against Yount looks like payback, including using the legal system ironically in just the kind of abuse of legal process that Handshoe is now alleging against Loyola University and the others. 

There is currently an appeal pending in that case to the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, which will consider anti-SLAPP issues in Mr. Yount's case, where Ramona Fernandez represents the minor child, nearly identical to those Mr. Abel so succesfully litigated in Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans. The Supreme Court denial of Mr. Truitt's appeal could have serious positive implications for the pending Yount appeal. 

Abel's motion to compel Handshoe to answer discovery in Abel's lawsuit against him, Truitt, and Vandenweghe, will be heard next month; a hearing on attorney's fees can't be far behind.  Legal observers say Handshoe has little chance of winning, and will for the first time in all his various legal battles be subject to discocvery alongside Truitt and Vandenweghe. 

Notably, self-styled as the Gulf South's premier legal affairs blogger, Handshoe tried to have the enforcement of the Nova Scotia copyright infringement judgment against him in state court removed to the same federal court where he is suing Abel, but was miserably unsuccesful. Handshoe had argued for protection against the $180,000 judgment under the Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage (SPEECH) Act, but failed last November when Chief Judge Louis Guirola determined that enforcing the copyright order had nothing to do with defamation.

Attorney Abel served his copyright notice on Handshoe's then-web host Dream Host because Handshoe was publishing on Slabbed a sexually explicit drawing authored by the minor child. (Handshoe admits to twice making such publications in his amended suit). Dream Host apparently had enough and dropped Handshoe, who now uses HostGator. According to the allegations in Yount's suit against Handshoe and Truitt (which appear in an appeal brief filed by Fernandez), they used Slabbed not only to publish the drawing after the court file was sealed by a judge in a Louisiana divorce proceeding, they also both published text on Slabbed to create the false and defamatory innuendo that Yount was sexually molesting his child. If true, that would be defamatory per se under Louisiana law. Courts in both the United States and Canada have repeatedly found that Handshoe publishes homophobic material on Slabbed.

In his amended legal complaint, Handshoe writes that the drawing shows "a minor child being sodomized by a line of robots." The divorce court apparetly did not agree with Handshoe's conclusions, as Mr. Yount has custody of his child, and the child has serious legal representation in the form of Ms. Fernandez and Loyola University.

SLAPPed down redux: Doug Handshoe loses his anti-SLAPP motion . . . twice . . . a legal jackassery update

Homophobic blogger Douglas K. Handshoe, a Mississippi accountant, has not once, but twice failed to get the Chief Judge of New Orleans Civil District Court (CDC) to accept his motion purporting that civil rights attorney Daniel G. Abel's damning defamation lawsuit against him is somehow designed to prevent public discourse on a matter of public interest. These types of motions are called "anti-SLAPP" (strategic lawsuit against public participation).

Handshoe has referred to his legal adversaries repeatedly as "SLAPP Happy Nut Jobs." Now it appears the only nut job is Handshoe and his dwindling coterie of followers. 

Inspection of CDC documents reveals that Handshoe first attempted his anti-SLAPP motion in October of last year, and when the court flatly denied it, he tried again a few months later, only to have the same result confront him. How the extremely litigious Mr. Handshoe could file two motions for the same relief in the same court is unknown, but it could be deemed an abuse of the New Orleans court's process. In the same hearing, Handshoe co-defendant and former attorney Bobby Truitt attempted to quash Abel's subpoenas, and failed:

Handshoe, however, apparently thought he knew better than the court, and attempted his at this point idiotic and ill-conceived motion again a few months later. On April 25, 2014. the judge again denied Handshoe's anti-SLAPP motion.

Legal Jackassery at its finest!

Handshoe owes some $817,000 in Canadian court judgments to Abel's business partners Charles Leary and Vaughn Perret as well as Trout Point Lodge. An effort to collect a copyright infringement judgment against Handshoe is currently winding its way through the Mississippi court system.

Handshoe's campaign to damage and embarrass those he has chosen to target using the Internet may be entering a new chapter as Abel's lawsuit moves inevitably forward.

CDC documents also show that Abel has applied for a default judgment against Handshoe and his co-defendant Vandenweghe. The court set a hearing to confirm the default on September 3, 2014.

Handshoe, who has claimed to be the premiere legal affairs blogger in the Gulf South, apparently will have some serious lessons to learn about legal process.

Stay tuned for more Douglas Handshoe legal jackassery from the federal courts of Mississippi . . . 

Slapping down Douglas Handshoe's and "Jack Etherton" Truitt's hilarious SLAPP motions: New Orleans Civil District Court

The "Slabbed Nation" is crumbling. The House of Handshoe teeters, fated to fall. "Super Lawyer" Bobby Truitt can't seem to BS his way out of this one, either for himself or his former client.

A now-erased comment left by former Douglas Handshoe attorney, financier, and alleged co-conspirator "Jack Etherton Truitt" on Handshoe's hate-filled blog "Slabbed" caused curious minds to wonder what exactly was going on in the year-old litigation brought by New Orleans civil rights attorney Daniel Abel against the alleged perpetrators of Slabbed's vicious and unceasing campaign to damage and injure others (including Abel) through the Internet. On July 2, Handshoe had published a check list of his blog's "accomplishments" and Truitt was adding to the list with his comment. Handshoe quickly removed the quip from publication. Now, why would he do that?

Turns out July 2, 2014, was the same day Chief Judge Piper Griffin of New Orleans Civil District Court considered various motions brought by Truitt trying to get out of the multi-count defamation lawsuit. Abel had opposed them all. Truitt denied that he was part and parcel of Handshoe's defamatory publishing activities. Too bad, at the end of the day, Truitt remains a defendant alongside Handshoe. Truitt's public showing of "having fun" using civil legal process might just backfire on him.

Also turns out, according to informed courthouse sources, Chief Judge Griffin has in fact flatly denied various motions by homophobic blogger Handshoe, slip-and-fall lawyer Truitt, and former Asst. Jefferson Parish Attorney Anne-Marie Vandenweghe in the defamation litigation against them. All three claimed that Abel's lawsuit was a "strategic lawsuit against public participation" or "SLAPP" suit. Some sources indicate Handshoe attempted to have his anti-SLAPP argument heard twice. Judge Griffin has repeatedly found no SLAPP, and that the lawsuit seeking redress from all three will go forward to trial in New Orleans. "Denied" is a simple word Handshoe, Truitt, and Vandenweghe do not appear to understand.

Judge Griffin also denied repeated motions by Truitt trying to change the venue out of New Orleans, and to dismiss the suit against him for being too "vague." In evidence presented by Abel, Truitt has admitted to giving money to Handshoe to publish the hate-filled and homophobic blog, and also frequently contributes to it.  

The consequences of Judge Griffin's decision for defendants Handshoe, Truitt, and Vandenweghe are serious. Handshoe has unceasingly crowed on his web site Slabbed that lawsuits from various individuals against him involving defamation were frivolous SLAPP suits and that he is being pursued by "SLAPP-happy nut jobs"; now a court of law has said decisively otherwise. In this case, purported "free speech" will meet head on with longstanding standards of civil decency and defamation in the Internet context.

Under Art. 971 of the Louisiana rules of civil procedure, Judge Griffin's decision has precedential value and can be used in later parts of the trial. This is not good news for Truitt and his pals Handshoe and Vandenweghe. In addition, Art. 971 mandates that any loosing party in a motion made under the article must pay attorney's fees to the prevailing party, in this case Mr. Abel.

Looks like Truitt will have to pony up for "having fun with Danny Abel."

SLAPP? Douglas Handshoe, Anne Marie Vandenweghe et. al. apparently unsuccessful in Louisiana court

Real Malice received an interesting email from an anonymous source.

Apparently the legal efforts of Douglas Handshoe, Anne Marie Vandenweghe aka Boudreaux, and others to have the Louisiana Civil District Court strike down the Daniel Abel defamation lawsuit against them did not work so well. Reports indicate Chief Judge Piper Griffin said that the Abel lawsuit was not a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation aka SLAPP. So much for SLAPP Happy Nut Jobs. She also reportedly denied the Vandenweghe claim of failure to state a claim and lack of personal jurisdiction. Real Malice cannot wait to see that Court Order. If true, this mean mandatory fees for Mr. Abel.

Not sure of all the details yet or when this happened. More information to come . . .  Why has Mr. Handshoe not mentioned this outcome on Slabbed, especially given his recent comments about the alleged bias of federal judge Suzie Morgan?

Anyone else have any details?

Federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal decides against Handshoe to expand the record: Another defeat for the fabled Slabbed legal team

Perusing the Public Access to Court Electronic Records system turned up that on May 31, 2013, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, now considering a case of first impression under the federal SPEECH Act in enforcing a $427,000 Canadian defamation judgment against Douglas Handshoe, has granted the Plaintiffs' motion to expand the record on appeal, a remarkable move.

 

The significance of this Order lies in the fact that the new materials now allowed into the evidentiary record on appeal include a total retraction of false allegations appearing in the Concrete Busters lawsuit against River Birch Landfill (now dismissed in its entirety, with prejudice) that Trout Point Lodge was a shell company used in criminal racketeering. Those allegations were dismissed voluntarily, and the Smith & Fawer law firm representing Concrete Busters plaintiffs identified Douglas Handshoe's Slabbed blog as their sole source. The lower court referenced that Concrete Busters lawsuit in its decision, but the dismissal came well after it made its SPEECH Act decision in favor of Handshoe.

Also now in the record is a document filed in the district court by Chief Judge Louis Guirola that makes allegations of possible fraud against Handshoe and his lawyer Bobby Truitt. The lawyer for Trout Point Lodge, Vaughn Perret, and Charles Leary told the 5th Circuit that he can't vouch for or deny those allegations made by attorney Daniel Abel, but the May 31 Order makes it clear that the Court of Appeal will now take up evidence that could be very damaging to Handshoe's case.  

That information about IP addresses is relevant because it would mean that Handshoe knew the district court was looking at Slabbed while deliberating on his $427,000 fate. If intentional acts were done to influence the court, including inserting allegations into the Concrete Busters suit, there could be consequences well beyond loosing the appeal in the Fifth Circuit. If the case is returned to Judge Guirola, it's an open question as to what he would do about the fraud allegation.

Finally, as the Order states, Jack "Bobby" Truitt, Handshoe's lawyer, never filed a response to the motion, even though the Court of Appeal set a deadline for doing so. That's one famed legal team, for sure. Bon sang!

It makes one wonder if Mr. Doug has any legal team left after his disastrous showing in Judge Susie Morgan's courtroom, his loss on attorney's fees & an appeal bond, and now this decision . . . 

No Tea, No Shade, Just Sock Puppetry

A short while ago, Daniel Abel made some interesting arguments to the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana regarding the sock puppetry of Anne-Marie Vandenweghe, who has also been a favorite topic here on Real Malice.

Mr. Abel conducted some textual analysis, along the lines of that performed by Frederick Heebe, Mark Moseley, and others. Mr. Heebe is the person who outed Assistant U.S. Attorneys Salvadore Perricone and Jan Maselli-Mann as being anonymous online commenters. Moseley identified other pseudonyms as likely belonging to Perricone.

Abel starts with the identification of Vandenweghe as "unslabbed," which Doug Handshoe has also admitted is one of her pseudonyms on Slabbed. He notes some peculiarities of unslabbed's style, and then moves on to identify other Slabbed commenters with similar characteristics.

Having looked at Abel's analysis, Real Malice has added a few observations too. Here's a synthesis of what was found, using Mr. Abel's observations as a baseline:

Court Ordered unslabbed's Email Address

Anne Marie Vandenweghe's married name is Anne Marie Boudreaux. She uses this name in her email addresses, for example the one she used to register with the Louisiana State Bar Association.

In June, 2011, pursuant to a Court Order from the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, Automattic, Inc. the operator of the WordPress.com blogging site, provided to Trout Point Lodge identifying information about anonymous bloggers publishing on slabbed.wordpress.com, the home of the Slabbed blog and predecessor URL to slabbed.org.

After notifying the persons involved using their registered email addresses, Automattic responded to the Court Order by identifying Slabbed commenter “unslabbed” as having the email address annemarieboudreaux@yahoo.com.

“unslabbed” is a frequent contributor to Slabbed.

Trout Point Lodge, Charles Leary, and Vaughn Perret subsequently on August 31, 2011, sued a “Jane Doe” co-defendant identified as “unslabbed” with the email address annemarieboudreaux@yahoo.com in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. The other defendant was Doug K. Handshoe, who was also identified by information provided by Automattic. Handshoe was personally served with notice of the proceeding, but failed to appear. “Jane Doe” was named in the complaint as a concurrent, joint tortfeasor.

 

Grammar and Word Usage; Use of French: “encule”; “Sistas of Satan,” etc.

Mr. Abel found a nice example of Anne-Marie (Vandenweghe) Boudreaux making a blog comment in 2007, under her own name.

We are all abuzz at the AAA mediations in New Orleans,Mike!!! Nelsie

came in with 'Arthur' and while we all took turns holding him ( including

all the GUYS!!) we talked about you and your journey to Grace-­land. (

A little Elvis humor there) Cannot wait to meet Miss Gracie in person.

Blessings and Godspeed.

Anne Marie (Vandenweghe) Boudreaux

There's indeed some peculiar things about punctuation in the above writing sample, including failure to space after a comma; use of multiple exclamation points; use of apostrophes as punctuation marks in a non-standard way; and a non-standard space after an opening parentheses mark (twice); use of CAPS to suggest intonation. There's also religious phraseology. And finally, there's that lovely usage of the full name Anne Marie (Vandenweghe) Boudreaux. Guess she couldn't decide which personality to use.

Taking this as a baseline, and proceeding from the fact a court order revealed that “unslabbed” is Anne-Marie Vandenweghe, an analysis of sets of writings by “unslabbed” when compared with writings by “Whitmergate,” “viewfromhell,” “eyewigger,” and others like “Pelicandebrief,” contain similar distinctive, non-standard use of punctuation, and similar word use, including in French and religious phraseology.

Notably, “viewfromhell,” was one of the identities sought by Interim Jefferson Parish President Theriot's lawsuit in 2010.

Like Anne-Marie, unslabbed's distinctive punctuation includes:

• non-standard spaces after and/or before parentheses and commas;
• spaces after the final letter and before a period, exclamation point, or question mark ending a sentence;
• repeated use of CAPS (not that this is unusual, but there is something distinctive about the CAPS use by unslabbed, suggesting intonation);
• use of dollar signs to indicate money;
• non-standard use of apostrophes ' as though they are quotation marks “

In addition, unslabbed makes repeated use of the phrase “Amen and Amen.” to end comments, often before writing her pseudonym underneath.

Unslabbed also makes reference to Christian religious phraseology and particularly variations of the phrase “confess, repent, and be forgiven” when referring to politicians. Ms. Vandenweghe is indeed a Minister ordained by the Universal Life Church. Unslabbed also frequently refers to Phelps Dunbar attorneys Nan Allessandra and Kim Boyle as “Kim & Nan” “Sistas of Satan.” Unslabbed makes fluent use of the French language, particularly to swear with, using words like “encule” and “putain.” Notable in this last regard, Vandenweghe's parents immigrated from French-speaking Belgium.

Judicial tyranny.
These fools are also just our SERVANTS.
To have exalted themselves as they have is embarrassing and invites ridicule and righteous indignation. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. Beware you self-righteous pompous Pharisees and Sadducees: you and yours will be struck down through God’s word. Your words will be as smoke on the wind. His will burn hotly on your tongue in the bowels of hell.
My Sunday hope for all is that they CONFESS, REPENT AND CLAIM REDEMPTION.

Here are examples of unslabbed's non-standard spaces around punctuation and use of apostrophes as quotation marks; also French swearing; reference to “Phlips Dungmore” for Phelps Dunbar; particularly notable use of a parentheses mark and then a space before the first letter, however the closing parentheses is right next to the final letter:

Here are some thoughts:

1. Set up an ombudsman for future disputes re Public Records. Cheaper for everyone.  Non-binding but probably would resolve 99% of the disputes. Hey maybe AMV can do it!  She is a certified Mediator. And she really knows the law on Public Records and Record Management.  Oh right probably over-qualified .

2. Try to set up a mediation with AMV and her attorney to head off Federal lawsuit we all know is coming. Or do the Council members and Administration thugs WANT to be deposed? October 23, 2010

True Telemachus BUT FOR THE FACT that life is imitating art in Jefferson Parish in that the JP politicos are Joe Pesci stupid-crazy.

Whether it’s the aftermath of “Broussard’s Waterloo” or the “JP Council’s Rubicon” or “Lagasse’s Last Stand” or “Capella’s Collapse” or “Young’s Ying-Yang”, the taxpayers’ have realized that we have bottomed out. It is now time to confront our co-dependency problem that has allowed these arrogant political thugs to oppress us, and rise up and vote; and encourage everyone we can to vote. Reach out to others anyway and everyway. And as important, if you are so inclined, qualify to run for office. It’s a God given right in this country… now consider it your duty to serve your country !

Stieb won, and you can win also. This entitlement class of narcissists, along with the pablum public Press and their suck-up surrogates would have you believe that whoever has the most money wins. Well money buys signs and mailouts; but I’ve never stood in line to vote with a sign or a push card, but I’ve stood in line with you !

And Theriot, why don’t you pay to complete this JPPAC albatross if you think it needs to be finished…vas te faire encule et l’ane tu montes dans le ! July 1, 2010

VI.

And once you qualify you do not have to campaign. You do not have to put up one sign, or send out any literature , or attend any forums , or talk to the media.

And if you cannot qualify offer to put in $ to help someone else qualify. June 30, 2010

VII.

And I also believe she is looking forward to the notoriety and exposure . As for Counsel Finley, he has played both sides for so long I wonder if he knows which end is up? The game is afoot…And I again quote ( loosely) ” In JP if it waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it is probably a horse.” A Trojan horse perhaps in this instance? A friendly lawsuit? Hmmmmmm August 11, 2012

VII.

Am I reading it correctly? Did Kim Boyle, attorney for the Parish ( and immediate past President of the Louisiana State Bar Association) state out loud in court on the record that she believed AMV was going to at some undetermined time in the future violate Attorney-Client privilege using the emails and that was one of the reasons she ( or did her clients tell her that? either way it ain’t good) was fighting the release?

If she did then I would surmise that her slanderous statement(s), despite Nan Alessandra’s attempt to repudiate them, increased AMV’s damages exponentially.

The Immediate Past President of the State Bar Association out loud and in public and on a court record makes a statement like that about any attorney and I would think that attorney will suffer serious economic and employment damages.

Is she really THAT STUPID?! Phelps Dunbar better have beaucoup INSURANCE because she just dragged the Firm into the furor.

Character Assassination ; Slanderous / libelous Statements; Failure to do Due Diligence all by defense counsel.

And we haven’t even begun to discuss AMV’s Federal suit against the Parish of Jefferson. This is just in the Public Records Request lawsuit in District Court.

What will those crazy Kim ‘n Nan girls entertain us with next? February 17, 2011

VIII.

From my brief perusal of the pertinent state law ( LA) and the fine brief by Mr. Truitt , it appears that if she is successful AMV may get $100 per day for the entire time since she requested the information. Plus Attorneys fees.

It seems that since Jefferson Parish did not file for the Writ re the PRR ( which it appears was their obligation since it is their responsibility to say why they won’t release in a timely fashion or at all) that all fines and penalties continue to run in AMV’s favor.

I wonder if this will also be part of damages in any Federal 1983 lawsuit she may file, since the time delay in obtaining the PRR response may have caused her additional damages in not being able to adequately defend herself?

Anyone know if that is correct? February 15, 2011

IX.

5. When AMV takes the only next step available to her to obtain the records necessary to her 1) documenting her time as requested by Peggy Barton and Louis Gruntz ( in one of the requested email threads) so they could compensate her and 2) defending herself against the libelous, slanderous accusations of the Parish via Steve Theriot ; the Parish retaliates with a SLAPP suit orchestrated by the same over-paid law firm that SLAPPED AMV’s Personnel Board Whistleblower law suit.

Gimme a break. Has anyone at Phelps Dumbar bothered to READ THE PUBLIC RECORD LAW???

Forget about who AMV named…but just to placate the deliberate souls:
The Parish President is the presumed Custodian of Records under State Record Retention statutes.
He/she can designate in writing in a report FILED WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE someone else in the governmental entity as his substitute.
Broussard designated Council Clerk Eula Lopez ( who now probably wishes she could have declined)
Broussard resigned and Theriot never filed such a report so TAG Theriot is it.
AMV being the cautious once-burned-twice-shy- leery- of- the- machinations- of- the- enemy war veteran that she is, names both Lopez and Theriot and adds Giangrosso since he has been signing all the ‘boilerplate letters’ denying/delaying access.

Access delayed is access denied. Without affirmative action ( filing for a declaratory judgment a la the Coroner in St Tammany in Judge Crain’s court) on the part of the governmental entity delaying the access the governmental entity is guilty as charged. October 22, 2010

X.

And we get this ‘conflicted’ quote from Hairy Rosenberg, a partner at Phlips, Dungmore, the firm hired by these same Politico Thugs to SLAPP the whistleblower Anne Marie Vandenweghe whose factual allegations of this very same payroll fraud that were made public in her suit filed with the JP Personnel Board in Feb. 2010:

“It’s still hard to know what the government’s doing,” former U.S. Attorney Harry Rosenberg said. “The target letters suggest that the government is going to move forward with official criminal charges, but it doesn’t always.”

Well we know that no one in Jefferson Parish government did anything and we know that DA Connick did nothing…are we being told now that the Feds will do nothing too ? That Jefferson Parish White Public Officials, whether elected or appointed, are above the law and are immune from criminal prosecution ? February 20, 2011

XI.

Does my feeble mind accuratley recall the Marcello clan selling or buying or swapping land with the Heebe-Ward-River Birch-Hwy 90 folks?
Assistant Parish Attorney C. Leighton Ciravello ( so many vowels running rampant ) is on record with Grand Jury responses to River Birch investigation showing A land swap but there were other transactions including one which did not get executed.
Environmental Director Marnie Winter also sent emails alluding to swaps and attempted swaps , and her assistant Catherine ? and Rich Buller, landfill manager for the Parish after Deano Bonano was rewarded by the bad guys and made a CAA for sending Parishdump and methane recovery business to River Birch and Hwy 90 et al, both alluded to shenanigans with all the property transfers.
And then there is Finance Director Gwen Bolotte who stated somewhere that when Whitmer and Wilkinson told her to disappear the Parish money dedicated to and made from the Parish dump in order to make it appear the Parish dump was losing money and close to financial collapse, had to explain to both idgit asses that disappearing that much money was not easy and would take her some time. And SHE tattled on Cherreen Gegenheimer?

Quel drol, mes cheries, quel drol.

Use of “Sistas of Satan” for Nan Allessandra and Kim Boyle:

I.

In rereading the emails you linked from the Broussard era stockpile wherein Theriot calls in the Sistas of Satan and the rest of the horde for a meeting re Anne Marie and the Legislative Auditor’s report: has anyone ever seen any such report? That would be a read no doubt… October 10, 2012

Next, let's compare these characteristics with other Slabbed bloggers. First is Whitmergate, whose peculiar punctuation, use of French and other word usage, and grammar is notably identical to unslabbed. Imagine that!

Whitmergate:

Use of apostrophes as quotation marks; spaces after the final letter in a sentence before a period, questions mark, or exclamation mark. Use of dollar signs. Use of “Phlips Dungmore” for Phelps Dunbar. Use of “Sistas of Satan” to refer to Nan Allessandra and Kim Boyle. Use of French, particularly, “encule”; use of troglodyte:

I only wish that I had a video of Thomas strutting outside the Courtroom half-cocked after having heard GretnaMentality’s poster child Judge LaFart’s home cooked decision denying AMV her records… There the thief was, congratulating Phlips, Dungmore’s Sistas of Satan (Kim Boyle and Nan Alessendra), Wanda ‘I wannabe like TheRiot’ Theriot, Greg Geeiamanasshole, and yes another Wilkinson relative sucking off the public’s teat, Eula Lopez.

Raided ?…how about pounced upon with “nearly two dozen” agents ! Having matriculated a PHD on everything River Birch over this last year, this illuminating and surprising news was just what the doctor ordered.

So let me get this straight…a River Birch representative says that they have been co-operating for months, but the FBI send enough agents to occupy every individual office in the building ? Would that statement be considered lying to the FBI ?

I want to thank the FBI for it’s initiative to further their investigation into this criminal conspiracy by the Jefferson Parish Council to create a landfill monopoly. Fortunately the FBI does not work for the US Attorney’s office. Hopefully there will be a special task force of Justice Department lawyers to prosecute so that Letten cannot ignore or cover.

As for Wilkinson, as we say in the French…vas te faire encule, vas te faire encule beaucoup…chatte vous intimider bouche ! September 23, 2010

VI.

With such resounding support of Capella and the other Council members who chimed in by voting to confirm Barton as Parish Attorney, it is apropos that I segue into yet another current Barton (JP) vs. Seeman/Baird(CFGG) ‘tete a tete’.

Unslabbed, myself and now the Citizens for Good Government, Margie Seeman and Magaret Baird, have brought to the forefront an issue that encapsulates the taxpayers disgust and frustration with the systemic and rampant corruption by and of Jefferson Parish Officials, both elected and appointed, that is presently being investigated by Federal authorities. Whitmergate Guest post, October 1, 2010

VII.

Now that we are discussing FREE SPEECH:

I am being counseled by others not to gloat over the recent RICO lawsuit filed by Waste Management … that my hounding and pounding for over 3 years on numerous blogs concerning the River Birch CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY to be awarded an illegal landfill MONOPOLY, along with the corrupt conduct of Jefferson Parish Officials in general, has contributed to the result I wanted … so what could I want now aside from criminal indictments confirming all of what I railed about ?

HERE’S THE ANSWER:

I would love to make as many copies as necessary of AMV’s lawsuit, Concrete Buster’s lawsuit and Waste Management’s lawsuits combined, have them rolled collectively, then individually shoved up Tom Wilkinson’s ass and the ass of everyone of his posse from and/or at the Parish Attorney’s Office, still there or not, including, Peggy Barton, Louis Gruntz, David Fos, Alan Gandolfi, Greg Giangrosso, Jeremy Dwyer, Nicole Amstutz, Nicole Tomba … and any one else I may have overlooked … and too numerous to mention at this time !!!

Did I hear you say, ‘…let ‘em fuckin’ sue…’ How’s those lawsuits feeling now “Tommy”… you fucking troglodyte reprobate !!!

And Plattsmier needs to be shoving some more papers up “Tommy’s” ass too …

Thanx Slabbed for allowing me to vent my legitimate anger toward those so deserving of it. September 28, 2011

VIII.

Is this like one of the secret meetings where it was decided to sue the blogosphere ? Or to defend Kerlec in the Nazi case ? Or to sue Waste Management ? You mean that kind of ‘executive’ screw-up, right ?

May I suggest to all of the buffoons who were in the recent ‘executive session’ (euphemism for secret meeting and out of the public’s notice)… the only legal, ethical and moral strategy that needs to be discussed is an EXIT DEFENSE that will justly compensate AMV and put an end to the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS that Philips Dungmore will charge to DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE !!!

HUFFING … that’s what it’s described as Sop … such an apropos double entendre ?

These Boston Club, Louisiana Club degenerate MFers are huffers … they have been kneeling down and sniffing up the gaseous farts of each other’s ass for so long … that they have become detached from a cultural reality that is shared by most of us who are not one of ‘them’ … a mindset that is similar with the punk zine of ‘sniffin glue’ … in other words, brain dead.

Possibly nancy Drew could apply for a job to clean the bathrooms at the Boston Club if by circumstance he was ‘sneezed off ’ by the Times Pickyournose !!! July 25, 2012

Repeated use of “Amen and Amen.”:

So, Mr. Connick, next time you go to Manresa intending to further fine tune your hypocrisy, do us a favor, pull out your bible, go to the Book of St. James, Chapter 5, verses, 1-3, contemplate this reading and pray for an epiphany:

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

As a brother in Christ, I pray for you. Amen and Amen. Whitmergate guest post, June 23, 2010

February 28, 2011

In sum, all of the characteristics of unslabbed's writing and punctuation also appear in the writing and punctuation of “Whitmergate.” Whitmergate also makes repeated use of the word “troglodyte,” particularly in reference to Vandenweghe's former boss Tom Wilkinson. Notably, “viewfromhell” also refers to Wilkinson as a troglodyte.

viewfromhell also shares writing and punctuation style with Whitmergate and unslabbed.

viewfromhell:

Reference to Satan's Sistas and to Phlips Dungmore; space between final letter and final punctuation mark; use of apostrophes as quotation marks; use of dollar sign to mean money:

I.

This I do know. Satan’s Sistas, Kim and Nan, are going to catch hell when it’s found out about the duplicitous billing that is all too obvious by the amount shown on this report. June 7, 2011

II.

And while I’m suing AHs, add those Phlipps, Dungmore wanabe lawyers and the joke Times- Picayune. All of them are in cahoots and are the reason Jefferson Parish is the HELLHOLE that it is ! December 16, 2010

III.

What in the hell are ya’ll talking about ? Give the woman her fucking records and it’s over. Doesn’t she continue to produce and receive emails daily in her present position as head of recovery. Aren’t those records available to her every day as was the same records she produced and received when she was in charge of the Public Records Division.

You know what the hell this is ? RETALLIATION ! PURE and SIMPLE. This has absolutely NOTHING to do about this work computer or the information on it ! These thugs that run this hellhole want to blame someone else for being exposed as the corrupt POS’s that they are. October 23, 2010

Jefferson Parish, THE HELL HOLE of all hell holes ! June 7, 2011

V.

WTF?!!!!!!???

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

Aside from the fact that Debbie Villio should be disbarred for her illegal and unethical political activities while working as the Director of Inspection and Code Enforcement for Jefferson Parish and for her Payroll Fraud escapades with her ‘good friend’ disgraced former Parish Attorney Tom Wilkinson ( now starring in the pOrteous debaucle on CSpan ) :

I question how MATTHEW FRIEDMAN will be able to hear any cases since he works FULL TIME as the head of the Jefferson Parish Parish Attorney’s Office Section in charge of Inspection and Code Enforcement. And from all reports coming in Villio left a mess for Loren Marino another Wilkinson Assistant Parish Attorney who was appointed to replace Villio as Director of ICE.

Friedman is not the brightest bulb in the lamp but he is/was ‘BUDS’ with Tommy and now with Interim Parish Attorney Peggy Barton, to the tune of several thousand extra dollars a year for preparing ‘abstracts’ or something for the same cases he was supposed to be working on. Rumor has it that was $ for his silence. So when Villio left and Friedman and Marino were ‘promoted’ nothing improved. September 17, 2010

VI.

Gone Hog Wild ! Instant Hit ! I’d bet next years taxes on it.

Why didn’t Charreem and the huskster Broussard PITCH (movie lingo) that ? Because they are too stupid to know that they were stars in this neverending storyline already. Names change but the corruption scam remains the same. Not to mention that Jefferson Parish taxpayers could possibly recoup, by way of royalties, some of the money these corrupt MFs spend on themselves, their families and cronies !

And how in the hell did South Korea get any action here with contracts on the studio screw job. Fuck I almost forgot, Peggy Barton has been maintaining a satellite office of the JP Parish Attorney’s Office there for years with Wilkinson’s winking about leave time. Staff was always getting e-mails via Korea from Barton, about the Office of the PA’s Rules that required all employees to be at the office at such and such a time; break times and time spent for lunch within certain hours; and no one is to leave before 4:30. Did she follow her own rules in Korea ? Hell fucking NO ! I wonder how in the hell do you get someone extradited from South Korea. Or, can you ?

By the fucking way, what the hell is Barton still doing in the Parish Attorney’s Office ? Or for that matter, any of the rest of that incompetent Wilkinson posse ? Hell I quess if Barton has to face payroll fraud charges, Young will do his Sgt. Schultz act again, “I know nothing! ” Hell, ya’d think Young is trying to get a part in the re-make of the movie Stalag 13 ? He’s got the line down pat and no fucking audition is going to be needed. Np matter, Young’s a definite for the reality show.

What the hell? Young fires Chareem, but keeps that 2-synapse troglodyte Bonano peel ? Young must owe him for covering up on that D.J.Mumphy escapade and no telling what the hell else.

You know you live in a hellhole when this scheme becomes a fact: Tony D gets fired by Young; Tony D immediately gets hired to protect his fucking retirement junkie status by the widow Hollis who’s just been appointed to the Council on Monday because everyone else dropped out; the same widow Hollis who voted to fuck over the Good Government ladies who were lied to by Cappella and voted to make the vote 7-0 ! Hell I thought that Lee-Sheng was the Black Widow of this web of corrupt thugs. I was wrong ! But then again, as someone reminded me on this blog: when you sleep with a dog who has fless, you get flees. Hell hast no outcasts !

Hell, this story with Tony D isn’t over yet. The word out of Tony D’s mouth himself is that he’s going to be Butch Ward’s mini-me Sissy Roberts eastbank Council Asst, and we haven’t even been notified of a qualifying date for that election for the AT-Large A seat yet !

Who knows what can happen in a lawless hellhole like JP ? This rogue Council is probably going to cancel the election; appoint Roberts, and tell us that it was a move to ecconomize. Any way who could beat a candidate who has spent $190,000 of his campaign funds in the previous year, 2009, a non-election year, to buy a float, a tractor to pull the float, a fire engine to follow in the parade to put out the fire on the float caused by an electrical malfunction of the massive sound system installed so his minions could dance while he, in his persona as “The PIG of PIGS” throws at them Chinese beads and the most sought after favor, a’ lying pig’ with a black and white napkin tied around his neck. All this being shown on the giant TV screen that is set upon “mini-me’s” Snowball Stand next to the Couchon du Lait trough where the
contractors feed.

Sop rest assured that even a hellhole like JP can get full of this fucking arrogant BS. From my view it looks like my blogging buddies “Gate, Pelican, the Monkeyman, Bayou, Bunhare and most probably others are gonna join you in sending mini-me to a place where he will really become the bitch that he is, and sitting on the toilet is not going to protect his ass !

Jefferson Parish IS THE HELLHOLE of all HellHoles. November 5, 2010

Thought you might like that one. What the hell ? Is this guy the reason that some lawyer named Giangrosso was hired by Wilkinson, now there’s a hell of a disgrace. I can only imgaine what a fine human being that troglodyte is in your world. October 12, 2010

Another Slabbed blogger shares similar grammar, word use, and punctuation. Pelicandebrief is purportedly Whitmegate's cousin.

PELICANDEBRIEF

I.

Just to let everybody know, the bet- line here in Washington is on whether Mamoulides will actually show up to testify at the Senate trial. My money is on Not and so is Gate’s. In fact my cousain is making side bets for a case of Rebel Yell that there won’t be any trial, and that Porteous will get his retirement and walk away. He’s convinced Porteous is holding the “big one” to push back hard. Well maybe so, but, I like him know one thing for sure: that all those subpoenaed judges and “Mamou the big pussy” and others haven’t been off the phone since that Alpert article in the TP announced the news !

After reading Whitmergate’s commentary and talking to him on the phone while sipping on Rebel Yell, I thought it would be appropriate to hammer on the conduct of Dick Chopin one more time, and why not. Chopin, quelle honte putain. August 25, 2010

II.

So let me see if I understand this correctly: Whitmer was a wrong doer and AMV fulfilled her mandated obligation to report wrong doing. Whitmer is allowed to retire to collect potentially millions in benefits and AMV is unlawfully fired and is being denied even the minimum of unemployment benefits.

‘Gate is absolute in his belief that this cloistered corrupt Council is going to learn what karma is all about within the very near future.

Ces connards sont une honte putain ! And that I believe, we can all agree. December 17, 2010

So ‘Gate, mon cousin, putain qu’est-ce, TheRiot, quel idiot putain !!! August 30, 2011

Jim Ward ! Really ‘Gate ? Quelle honte putain.

Attendez, laissez-moi prendre une gorgée. January 14, 2012

V.

‘Gate, my cousain, take comfort in the thought that here in Washington DC, as in Louisiana, Jindal and Nunguesser equally share the reputation comme état à peu près aussi intelligent que le cul d’un poulet…ils sont vraiment une honte putain à la Louisiane !

And Mr. Graves…vas te faire encule, vas te faire encule beaucoup. January 13, 2011

EYEWIGGER

I saw this coming. Look, let’s all understand this. Whatever mud Mr. D’Aquila may have dragged himself through was of his own doing. His close personal and professional relationships with Broussard, Trout Point (Leary, Perret, Abel) and Joe Calderera are a fact. He wasn’t a saint in life, and he’s not a saint now that he has passed. May he rest in peace, amen and amen. End of story. February 1, 2012

“Ahs” as an abbreviation

This abbreviation presumably means “assholes,” however perusal of collections of common Internet slang do not contain “Ahs,” leading to the reasonable conlusion that it is an abbreviation unique to certain anonymous bloggers, on in this case, one anonymous blogger engaging in sock puppetry.

Whitmergate on Slabbed, May 11, 2010:

Merci, mon Pere. Oh,un moment. I can hear John Doe’s lawyer now while reviewing the material Theriot had to produce in complying with a subpoena duces tecum. Regardez tous ces livres ! Comme vous etes vieux jeu.

And yes, we will need to depose you and all the council members who, in executive session (euphemism for: public it’s none of your business how we waste your money) agreed to file this groundless SLAPP lawsuit.

I’ll bet these AHs had no idea this was coming ! A bientot…

viewfromhell on Slabbed, December 16, 2010:

Bracy needs to sue their ass for retaliation cause that’s just what her being let go was, just like Anne Marie Vandenweghe. Hell I’ll be suing those assholes Theriot and Bonano, those POS politico mafioso who were responsible for me getting sued. And while I’m suing AHs, add those Phlipps, Dungmore wanabe lawyers and the joke Times- Picayune. All of them are in cahoots and are the reason Jefferson Parish is the HELLHOLE that it is !

viewfromhell on nola.com (Times-Picayune), July 7, 2010:

Hey sheeple you know why this a hellhole ? Because all the incumbents spit in your face while qualifying to run for the school system they're responsible for screwing up. When the hell are you sheeple gonna stampede this bunch of incompetent thieves out of here ? JP is THE hellhole of these United States. What unmitigated gall...64 out of 70...and these shameless AHs believe you should vote them back in...and you probably will !

“Repent, Confess, and Be Forgiven”

In May, 2010, Handshoe published the following post on Slabbed:

From the "this post got bumped due to breaking news" files Slabbed presents this open invitation to Parish employees from Anne Marie Vandenweghe

with one comment

I received this yesterday morning and it was bumped due to the recent street fight invitation we received.

I would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested to attend the Yenni Building Bible Study on Mondays at 12:30 in the Conference room off the Council Chambers on the 2nd floor. We meet for one hour and are studying Matthew right now. No preparation needed just come and enjoy fellowship with others who confessed, repented and are forgiven. And who confess, repent and are forgiven daily. Not perfect, just forgiven.

We are hoping to offer Bible Study every day at lunch time to reach as many as possible. And again no prep needed as we read the selection out loud and then discuss.

Anne Marie made it clear to me that the invitation was extended to everyone in Parish government and that weapons are checked at the door as the only goal of this devotion was ”to learn the only important truth in life.”

Handshoe attributes to Vandenweghe repeated use of a variation of phraseology involving confession, repentance, and forgiveness particularly as applied to those involved in what they say are corrupt practices in Jefferson Parish government. Coincidentally, numerous other anonymous blogger on Slabbed used the same phraseology, including unslabbed. Most of these also exhibit the distinctive punctuation and grammar associated with Vandenweghe/unslabbed:

unslabbed, March 15, 2010:

Is the new interim Director of Code as cooperative as Ms. Villio and her predecessors? How about all those successions you handle(d) over the years? You profess to be a BIG catholic with your Jesuit training: What would Jesus do? WWJD. ‘Splain that to the generations coming up who will have your trangressions on their shoulders. Confess, repent and ask forgiveness=redemption. Continue as you are going and no one will be proud of being your kin.

sharkpuppet,

December 17, 2011:

Amen Locke, AMEN.

Confess, repent and be forgiven. I repeat : CONFESS, REPENT… those two come before forgiveness…

February 5, 2012:

Instead of flailing at reality based comments about your homosexuality perhaps you should heed the warnings in THE BIBLE which clearly says homosexuality is an abomination.
(God’s words, not mine). It details the fate awaiting the arrogant, the corrupters, the unrighteous. One need only look to 2Peter 2:1-22 (NIV). Or 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (NIV). Or 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV). Or Romans 1: 24-32 (NIV).

Charles aka jimmy: confess, repent and be redeemed.

God said it. I believe it. That settles it.

PS: don't tread on MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

Whitmergate, February 28, 2011:

Aaron I will tell you this yet again…talking about Jesus is not walking with Jesus…redemption will come through your public confession…Jesus didn’t have or need a lawyer…own and accept your wrong doing…repent and ask for forgiveness…trust Him to guide and protect you…plead guilty and do the time with humility…be washed of your sins…and you will be born again…I pray for you… and may God have mercy on your soul…Amen and Amen.

curiousgeorge, August 12. 2010:

I’m not screaming OOOOOOOOOOOOOOwweeee this morning but I’m curious why was there not a full Supreme Court Judicary Commission investigation into Dufresne’s outrageous conduct? His lazy, arrogant conduct cost a man his life and countless prisoners’their Hope. He should have not only been stripped of his law license but be in and among the general population of prisoners at Angola writing his own pro se appeals (which I would say could be accidently crumbled up and tossed in the trash can for a few years). Just as some physicians only learn true humane compassion when they themselves undergo medical trials that they routinely dish out to their patients daily, so too should a corrupt judge experience life behind bars with the very same men who caused their Hope to be stolen from them.There can be forgiveness after repentance, but you can not allow such a person to remain in a position to screw one other person of his constitutional rights.How can the other sitting judges tolerate and day in and day out converse and legally discuss other cases after such an act that cost a man’s life and countless others of Hope?. Sop, does the school administation not know of Dufresne’s judicial crimes. And how could the administration accept money to buy such a sacred, holy and historically treasured school statue from a alumnus who has never confessed and repented? If the administration does not know they should be told and if there is any associated bronze marker citing Dufresne’s contribution his name should be grinded off( not recast) to make a statement that money doesn’t buy repentence, holiness nor salvation. Dufresne ( not worthy of being addressed as judge of anything but of yourself) if you still have the egotistical courage to still be reading on and think you can ‘buy the sacred heart of Jesus’ after you have robbed true repentent prisoners of their God given and guaranteed Hope bought and paid only thru “His Stripes” and Death on The Cross; then I challenge you to read The Word (1 Corinthians 13:13) from the mouth of a murderer( St. Paul)as the Brothers taught you at the school you state you still love. And Dufresne one final message,”Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth”-1 Cor 13:6. You are now dismissed from internet religion class, go and repent and be forgiven by Your Savior.Thanks be to God and the Holy Spirit,Our Comforter. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamen !!!!!!!!

Lockemuptight, December 17, 2011:

A serious letter to Aaron ( Hebrew for teacher) Broussard :

Dear Pharisee AB :

It certainly is a wonderful time of the year for Faith, but not your oxymoronic type of faith.

Our Lord and Savior was himself certainly not a Pharisee (lawyer) nor did He call upon one to defend Him before Pilate. And despite His complete innocence, He remained SILENT and voluntarily accepted the guilt and excruciating pain of the sins of all mankind to justify sinners like you and I before His Father.

It is a well founded principle of Christianity that if you offend your brother(s) that you in profound humility PROFESS YOUR GUILT before them and ASK FOR FORGIVENESS and REPAY your debt to them.

Christians are compelled to forgive and if you rebuke your NOT GUILTY plea and admit your guilt publicly you will in turn receive forgiveness from them and more importantly God Almighty. Only then will you be admired but more importantly honored by your Savior.

Give Praise and Glory to Christ and do the thing you have previously preached to many people in Jefferson Parish, including your long time friend Larmarque.

Your past and current behavior has caused great distress in the good, hard working people of Jefferson provoking them to judge you and sin by calling you names ( of which I am one).

In His Light and Love, Lockemuptight

lockemuptight has some other similarities with Vandenweghe's writing also:

August 14, 2012

MILES GAME PLAN : Here duckie duckies come get some bread. No duckies, not the green bread that Lyles recruiting service throws out but real enriched Wonderbread.

Here duckie duckies quickly right this way and merge smoothly into the Dallas commuter traffic and straight onto the big coliseum .You can do it duckies cause you duckies are reportedly so fast.
Ok Big Mike, you mangled the Aggies now have a little taste of duck jambalaya with a little Slap Your Mama on top and you' re good to go into your black limo to play with some real bloated, fu*#ked up duckies.
POST GAME INTERVIEW : So BIg Mike how was it ? They were quacking all the way down, right Mike ? Mike ROARS , burps and expels a few yellow-green iridescent feathers in a loud volley of Wonderbread smelling farts. August 29, 2011



And Slabbed and the SlabbedNation may just be one of His Purposes
.If you can hear me SlabbedNation say Amen !



lockemuptight also likes to use the word “pablum” when referring to the press, just like unslabbed Vandenweghe:

March 23, 2012:

Simadownah: Did your last bot’ have Chinese toxic milk in it or are you constipated from ingesting to much TP pablum.

unslabbed:

July 1, 2010

Stieb won, and you can win also. This entitlement class of narcissists, along with the pablum public Press and their suck-up surrogates would have you believe that whoever has the most money wins. Well money buys signs and mailouts; but I’ve never stood in line to vote with a sign or a push card, but I’ve stood in line with you !

And Theriot, why don’t you pay to complete this JPPAC albatross if you think it needs to be finished…vas te faire encule et l’ane tu montes dans le !

Hmmmmmmmm.
