SORSAIA SLAMS PUTNUMLIVE.COM PUBLISHER
Correctly Calls Publisher "Alleged Journalist"
Halburn Whines

 
Halburn gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar once again and once again it's some else's fault.
This time it's Putnam County Prosecutor Mark Sorsaia.
It's always someone else's fault with this fat fuck.

After reading about a memo published on PutnamLIES.com, Putnam County's REAL news source, Halburn stole the scans of that memo and wrote an article complaining about his mistreatment. Boo fucking hoo.

"I do not believe that Mr. Halburn at PutnumLive is a legitimate media source," Sorsaia said in the November 1st memo.
You've got that right, Mr. Prosecutor. Nobody does.

Halburn whines that Sorsaia never contacted him about the call from the secretary of State's office.
A prosecutor doesn't phone a suspect to get his side of the story.
No clarification is needed. The memo speaks for itself.

What apparently prompted the memo was a telephone call from the office of West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant.

What prompted the phone call was this: A Jefferson County judge dismissed charges against a newspaper reporter for taking photos inside a polling place. Halburn then called the Secretary of State to let them know his opinion on the case. He was told that the constitutionality of the issue had not been settled and that a lawsuit addressing the law had been filed but not ruled on. Halburn then started giving his legal opinions about the case saying the First Amendment allowed such photography. Other vague statements were made which were interpreted as an intent by him to disrupt the election. Common sense precautions were taken.

Halburn then called Putnam County County Clerk Brian Wood and made the same statements.

Obviously, Halburn's reputation precedes him not only here but at the Secretary of State's office and every other place where they've had to deal with him. Halburn has a long history of making threats just vague enough that he can weasel out of them by maintaining he meant something else.

They've all read his psychiatric evaluation where the report said, "Given his degree of agitation and volatility, threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately."

And that's exactly what they're doing.

The Secretary of State is merely doing her job by warning county authorities of potential problems. The prosecutor is doing his job by warning law enforcement and the county clerk of the same thing.

He would be remiss in his duties by not doing so.

As far as we know, Halburn has never taken a law course or worked for a legal firm. He also never went to journalism school. While he is not even qualified to be a journalist, he is certainly not qualified to argue the law. We are not sure why Halburn apparently thinks he is an expert about law. In journalism school, reporters are taught to interview all of the key people involved in a situation to get the complete story. They are also taught to report fairly and without bias. Halburn does neither of these.

Halburn later informed Sorsaia that his memo will be turned over as part of a formal complaint to whatever state agency oversees prosecuting attorneys. "Whatever state agency oversees prosecuting attorneys"? He doesn't even know. Whatta maroon.

Halburn says he doesn't know why Sorsaia would attempt to enforce a law that another West Virginia prosecutor has determined is unconstitutional.

Here's why, nonuts. Prosecutors also do not determine the constitutionality of laws. That role belongs to the judges.

Halburn also says that PutnumLive.com would never photograph an unwilling subject.

Really?
 

He should tell that to the many people that he's photographed or attempted to photograph over the years. It happened last month at the Buffalo Octoberfest.

As for what Sorsaia was told in the conversation with the SOS's office, we do not know. It appears that the information was serious enough though for him to write the memo and warn law enforcement to beware.
PutnamLIES.com applauds Mr. Sorsaia for protecting the voters of Putnam County.

In these days where domestic terrorism is rampant, government cannot afford to let its guard down against miscreants who would do the public harm or try to undermine the electoral process.
