Goodbye

Mission Accomplished!

When we started PutnamLIES.com 14 years ago to the day in 2009 it was to do one thing: Expose the lies that Mark Halburn was printing every day on his attack blog. The LIES in our title were his. The lies he wrote about Putnam County government officials. Good people like Scott Edwards, Joe Haynes, Steve Andes, Gary Walton and their families. The lies about West Virginia judges, elected officials, and representatives. The lies about the good people that work behind the counters of local businesses. The lies about anyone who dared to disagree with him.

There's an old saying, "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth".
And that's what Mark Halburn was doing on his fake news blog. Every single day.
The only side of the story getting told was his.
There was no one to answer his scurrilous charges or expose his abusive behavior.
Until we came along.
He didn't seem to like it very much.
He tried to shut us up too. He complained to anyplace where there was negative talk about him, Facebook, Twitter, Photobucket, Topix. He threatened to sue everyone, multiple times.
He tried to silence us, but he failed. Just as he failed at life.

But now he's gone. Dead as his fake news blog.
Once we started exposing his shenanigans, he started his long slide into utter irrelevance and and it finally did him in.
That's how you handle a bully. Come right back at him and give it to him twice as hard.

  Shithead fucked with the bull, and he got the horns.

As a direct result of our reporting and his behavior, Halburn's wife divorced him and he lost his meal ticket, his place to live, and his son.
We forced him to change the name of PutnumLive.com because that blog and its name were so damaged, so poisoned, so associated with his harassing, bullying tactics, and irresponsible reporting that his readership tanked.
After more arrests, convictions and a court order forbidding him from seeing his son,  he finally surrendered and fled the state in 2018 to leech off of his girlfriend sugar mama in Raleigh NC. Eventually she dumped him and he infested Lancaster SC, where he spent the rest of his miserable life.

PutnamLIES.com and the readers he imagined as a conspiracy aligned against him, who he called The Trash Bloggers Alliance, succeeded in running the fat fuck out of town and out of West Virginia.

The Trash Bloggers Alliance, Girl of Words, Tyler Hollywood, Lee Mays, Leonard Bernstein, Shawn, Tybois, Harry Stamper, Peachy, Jim Dolomite, the Crazed Cartooner, all our correspondents who contributed pictures, videos, emails and reports of his public assholery and our hundreds of thousands of readers can all take a well deserved bow. And a well deserved rest.

The real winners here though, are the people of Putnam County and West Virginia.

Our pledge has always been, "One Day Longer." We have fulfilled that promise.
We won, Halburn lost.

Good riddance, you fat piece of shit.

Many Thanks!!!

HALBURN DEAD!

Mark Vance Halburn died on June 16, 2023 from the results of a house fire in Lancaster SC. Oddly enough, for someone who craved media attention, he received none for this episode. There has been absolutely no media coverage of the fire even though it resulted in a fatality.

Update: How disappointing it must be for him that this 7/17/2023 story in the Lancaster SC News is not all about him. And it took them a month to report it.

Jerk-Off To Seek Jackpot Justice?

Another Scam
Another Hospital Stay

After being hospitalized on and off for the past few months with what some say was a severe case of herpes, Mark Vance Halburn is back on his back in the hospital, doing what he does best, laying around.

This time it's after a "slip and fall" in a South Carolina grocery store where he broke his leg.



Halburn has long dreamed of a big lawsuit settlement, total disability, or both. He 's been salivating for years over the thoughts of extorting a large sum out of a business and collecting a disability check.

It's going to be hard to do once a defense lawyer sees this admission:

"Surgery slippers"

That's right, Halburn went shopping in those socks with the rubber dots the hospital gave him during his last stay.

He was wearing socks. In a grocery store.
Not even his normal cheap Chinese flip flops. Not slippers. SOCKS.

Kiss your payout goodbye, shitbird. Their insurance company will be sure to point out your contributory negligence with this since those aren’t fucking SHOES.

He's keeping his eyes on the prize though.

The fucker breaks his leg and needs surgery but he's still complaining that they were out of what he wanted.

Always.

If this guy worked as hard at working as he did at getting permanent total disability and a jackpot justice claim, he would be a productive member of society.

Halburn Harasses Legislature

Totally Stable Father Blows Up Phones At Capitol

Out of state domestic terrorist Mark Vance Halburn repeatedly called the offices of the WV Senate Monday demanding to speak with Senate President Mitch Carmichael.
Halburn has been arrested numerous times for telephone harassment.

MARK VANCE HALBURN

Halburn was calling concerning HB4648, the so-called "Parenting Fairness Act of 2020" which would have mandated 50/50 custody in a divorce no matter how crazy one of the parents was. It would remove the old standard of doing what is in the best interests of the child and replace it with the presumption that shared legal and physical custody is in the best interests of the child.
This doesn't take into account unfit parents like Mark Halburn. He is a shining example of why a bill like this should never, ever be considered.

It would have enabled all of the past cases with disputed custody to be reopened.

Which is exactly what Halburn wanted. After FIVE losing trips before the WV Supreme Court, it was his only hope to regain any sort of visitation with his son.
As of this date, it has been 1000 days since Halburn was ordered to not see his son.

The bill did not pass. The House version was over 25 pages, a manifesto filled with provisions that would have been nearly impossible to enforce in any way. When the Senate Judiciary whittled it down to two pages, the House lost its mind. They sent back an amendment to it, but it never made it through on the last night. It got lost in shuffle.

Halburn, a South Carolina resident, never attended any hearings or floor votes during the Legislature's 60 day session. He was hospitalized through most of it with what some say was a severe case of herpes, which left him with plenty of time to call and pester the fuck out of everybody.

PutnamLies.com staff artist's conception

During one of Monday's calls, Halburn "COMMANDED" that the Senate be called back into session to pass this bill and get it to the governor "in five minutes."

It was patiently explained to Halburn that Senator Carmichael wasn't even in the office.

Lippy then gave a long winded spiel about technology enabling people to conference in from anywhere because "HE WAS CALLING FROM A HOSPITAL BED!" and then screamed, "I COMMAND YOU TO CONFERENCE MITCH CARMICHAEL IN RIGHT NOW!"

Halburn made a big show of voting in South Carolina a couple weeks back ... so he’s no longer a constituent of anyone here in West Virginia.
Take your crusade up with your South Carolina representatives, Fatboy.

The court ordered mental evaluation of Mark Vance Halburn

Fourth Time Is Not a Charm

Here's Your Fucking Decision, Fatboy

Mark Vance Halburn has been whining all summer about the WV Supreme Court taking a "three month vacation", but when it started its fall term on Sept 4, they proved they hadn't been sitting on the beach, taking it easy.

Mark Vance Halburn

One of its first decisions is a doozy. In what could possibly be one of the longest memorandum decisions that the court has ever written,  Halburn has been given another devastating kick to his shriveled nuts.

That's right, Halburn.
A new Court and we're still laughing at you, bitch!

If readers thought the original order and the first Supreme court decision in this case were something, wait'll you get a load of this.

The case involves his never ending appeals of his divorce case, which began in 2013.
First he appealed the final order to Circuit Court, where he got no relief.
Then he took it to the WV Supreme Court where he lost again.

After that, he was prohibited from personally (pro se)  filing any civil actions. They can now only be filed by a lawyer.

He continued to show his ass. He filed numerous motions against the court, calling judges names and making irrational demands.

in March 2016, the original Family Court Judge, Michael Kelly, retired.
The new judge, Sabrina Deskins, ordered Halburn to not post any information about his case on social media. He ignored that and began harassing her and the guardian ad litem.
She lasted about eight months before she was replaced.

In March 2017, the case was assigned to Judge Patricia Keller. From the beginning, she showed that she would take no shit from the fat domestic terrorist.

Family Court Judge Patricia Keller

Halburn immediately began a campaign of intimidation and harassment against the Judge and the new guardian ad litem who was appointed to safeguard the child's best interests.

On November 7, 2017, Judge Keller entered a sixty-four page order, which is what this appeal is all about.

In it, she detailed the seven false reports that Halburn anonymously filed with Child Protective Services, his disruption of a local church camp that his son attended, and his campaign of intimidation and harassment against her and the guardian ad litem.

The Judge ordered:

• Halburn is to have no contact with his son until such time that he undertakes 18 months of continuous progress in mental health treatment.

• He cannot be arrested, or uncooperative with his therapist.

• He cannot have copies of the video or audio recordings of the family court hearings or a copy of the guardian ad litem's report

• He cannot publish any pleadings, guardian ad litem reports, videos or recordings of the private matters  in this case.

• He must stop making irrational or impossible requests.

• He cannot file any pro se pleadings

•  Any frivolous and nonsensical filings are subject to sanctions.

• Halburn must post a $2,500.00 bond with his next filing so that his second ex-wife can hire an attorney

• He is barred from the Cabell County Family Court

• A restraining order was issued against him on behalf of the GAL

• He was ordered to stop all forms of harassment of  the ex-wife,  her husband, friends, etc.

• He is prohibited against making public disparagement in print, posting any information on the internet, or via social media.

• He shall cease filing reports with Child Protective Services. His previous reports were all false and made only to harass. used to harass

And of course, he immediately appealed THAT ruling. That appeal was denied as well, with the judge in that case writing:

"An appeal of  a circuit court ruling from January 26, 2018, "the circuit court affirmed the family court’s (Judge Keller) order and found it to be “the most thorough, detailed, comprehensive, and well-written order the [court] has ever encountered, and the [court] just commenced his twenty-eighth (28th) year on the [b]ench.”"

And now the West Virginia Supreme Court has ruled. AGAIN.

"(Halburn) is entitled to his day in court, but he is not entitled to waste the courts’ valuable time and resources with frivolous pleadings and arguments. Additionally, when those frivolous pleadings and arguments rightfully fail, he is likewise not entitled to engage in outrageous, abusive speech made with the goal of pushing judges and court officers to remove themselves from his case so that he can raise the frivolous arguments anew with a replacement judge or court officer. (Halburn's) actions have resulted in lost time and resources, including the necessity of appointing at least three special family court judges, one special circuit court judge, and two guardians ad litem. The time has come to say, “Enough.”

(Halburn's) "referrals and calls to CPS were false, designed to harass respondent, and a form of child abuse that “in itself can be the basis to modify a parenting plan.”

And then the bottom line of this entire matter.

"The voluminous record in this case clearly shows that petitioner has repeatedly demonstrated he places his own need for conflict above the needs of his minor son."

Halburn makes this case all about HIMSELF. To him, his son is nothing more than a weapon to be used against the latest targets of his ire and a prop used to elicit sympathy from his fawning audience of malcontents and losers.

This asshole is so self centered he can’t understand that the reason he’s not allowed to “publish” his videos and records or whatever is because they’re harmful to his child. Nah. His reaction is, "Fuck the kid. MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS A VERY IMPORTANT JOURNALIST COME FIRST!"

By the time this is all over he'll be screaming, "Rush to judgement! The new court session just started! They rushed to issue this ruling because I criticized them!"

Read the entire ruling and see the lunacy for yourself.
Res ipsa loquitor.

Halburn Loses Again

In a unanimous memorandum decision in the case of State of WV v. Mark Halburn, issued on April 15, the West Virginia Supreme Court has handed Mark Vance Halburn yet another loss. This makes Halburn's third loss before that body.

That's right Halburn. You lose again.
All new court, but we're still laughing at you, bitch.

And it's basically a NO SOUP FOR YOU, no oral argument decision for him. They didn't even need to hear his decrepit lawyer's presentation.

Halburn was convicted by a Putnam County jury in 2017 of violating a personal protective order granted to Dr. Joseph Matusic.
He appealed the conviction to Circuit Court, where it had to be heard in Cabell County, due to all the judges in Putnam County recusing themselves. Cabell Circuit Judge Paul Farrell affirmed the ruling from magistrate court.

His aggument for appeal is the same old litany of excuses that Halburn always trots out.
"I can do whatever I want. I'm the news media."
"My 14th Amendment rights were violated."

All pretty much what was expected.
No, jerkoff, your First Amendment rights weren't violated.
The First Amendment does not give members of the press immunity from criminal prosecution for criminal acts.

Halburn's excuse seems to be, "But WOWK went onto his property. I can too."
As Matusic testified, "I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.'

The hilarious thing in all this is how many times a court has told him in multiple ways that he's not media.

Halburn argued that Cpl. Johnson’s violated his 14th Amendment rights because Johnson failed to interview him before seeking an arrest warrant.
Cpl. Johnson had probable cause to  arrest Halburn based on Dr. Matusic’s statement and the pictures Dr. Matusic took Halburn sitting in his car in Dr. Matusic’s driveway.  All the deputy would have gotten from Halburn is lies and bullshit. He doesn't have to hear a criminal's story before he gets a warrant.

For these reasons and others, the Court affirmed the Circuit Court's decision.

Halburn Named In Lawsuit

Dangerous Driver Disregards Directions

Matthew Quintin-Joseph Benincosa claims Mark Vance Halburn was responsible for an accident on I-64 near Nitro that left him injured on December 5, 2016. Halburn allegedly failed to obey traffic signs and warning marks in a construction zone.

Mark Vance Halburn

Halburn is a notoriously careless driver.  He has a long string of traffic citations, mostly for speeding, some for twice the speed limit in a residential area. He has also been ticketed for driving an unsafe vehicle and disregarding traffic signs. He was even involved in an accident due to his inattentiveness in 2013 while his son was in the car. Some say he was texting and hit the divider wall on I-64.

Halburn had 9 points on his WV license when he surrendered it in late 2018.

It's unknown if Halburn has actually been served in this matter since he now lives in South Carolina.

In the past, it wouldn't do any good to sue the fat bastard since he had no assets. Now, however, he is the proud owner of a house.

Kanawha Circuit Court Case number 18-C-1504

Smile! You're Not On Churchy Camera

Area Criminal Doesn't Count On Background Check

In September Mark Halburn was shopping for a church. One where he could go in, throw his weight around, and impress everyone with how media savvy he was.

On December 10 Halburn wrote:
"The great news is I found a great church where I've joined the video crew. The bad news is that I didn't get to go, today, because they canceled services because of a sever storm forecast that ended up being moderate rain... Not a single snowflake in our area!"

On December 26 things seemed to take a turn for the worse.

Sounds like Halburn didn’t count on his new church’s “video ministry team” or whatever doing background checks like they do in real places.

Lost your papers is shorthand for "You're not going to get the job because of your background."
Most people take the hint.
He clearly failed the background check and now is demanding to know why.

And they’re just sort of ghosting him on it.

Then, on January 25th another vaguebook post. It's clear he misses Topix.

Protect My Ministry is a company that serves churches by offering national criminal database searches for volunteers and employees. If the applicant has no record, it's reported instantly. For serial offenders like Halburn the task is a little more complicated.

If there is a hit on the records, there is a 24-48 hour process of re-verification, in which the county courthouse records are updated to the national criminal database records, prior to sending results back.

Prior to sending national background results to their clients, they verify the accuracy of the information by thoroughly reviewing every positive record hit returned from the national criminal & sex offender database. These records are “frozen” for further investigation at the county courthouse.

 Records are first validated based on whether or not they positively match the applicant’s identity. This prevents false positives, which can happen when doing national database searches. They also filter out un-reportable records such as. parking tickets.

A background check can be as little as a one-county check or as in-depth as a security clearance investigation. Public and private records can be searched once the applicant gives his consent.

Typically, their turnaround time on submitted requests is typically the same day to 48 hours.

A final report from Protect My Ministry includes the following:

    Case numbers
    File Dates
    Complete description of charges
    Sentencing information
    Disposition and dates
    Cases with multiple charges will be fully explained

For Halburn, that's going to be a long list.

How shit of a person do you have to be to be turned down by a church as a volunteer? Better find another church that doesn't care about the safety of its members, fatboy.

Topix Folds

Halburn Distraught

Topix, the trailer park of the internet, suddenly closed their discussion forums Thursday.

The forums were a place Mark Halburn would anonymously attack people who he thought had wronged him. Almost always under a fake name.

Here's what users see when they go to the site now.

Halburn was notorious for his Topix attacks.

He even announced his divorce there.

He called a magistrate a slut.

He called Karen Haynes a bitch.

He posted under the name of a murdered child.

He attacked the Nazarene Church.

He attacked potential employers, businesses and government officials.

He even harassed the CEO of Topix.

All under a long list of sock puppet names he created. Because he wasn't man enough to use his real name or say it to them in person.
He wasn't fooling anyone though. The things he said, his unique style of writing, and choice of words gave him away.
Every. Single. Time.

Anything that “rules”, “rocks”, or “sux”?
That was him.
And he's an instant homer. Whatever town he's living in.

That's going to put a crimp into him anonymously attacking people.
He’s going to be crestfallen!
A strongly worded missive will follow.
Maybe he'll try and take credit and say he got them shut down because of all of the harassment.
That wouldn't surprise anyone at all.

Dismissed!

Losing Loser Loses Again

Mark Vance Halburn's case in Nicholas Co. was dismissed with prejudice today, December 4, 2018, when the fat son of a bitch failed to appear for a hearing.


 
This was nothing more than Halburn once again trying to use the legal system to harass his enemies.

Everyone involved had to hire an attorney. Think of all the money that has been wasted in this.  And that's what he wants. He wants everyone involved to spend money because they have it and he never will.

Dishwasher Douche

Appliance Asshole

How hard is it to buy a fucking dishwasher?
Exceedingly, if you're an obnoxious asshole like Mark Halburn.
On October 4 he started his newest round of complaining.

"It is sad to watch a great company self-destruct. Been a Sears customer for decades. Ordered a dishwasher and garbage disposal on 9/21 for delivery and install on 9/26. Only the disposal was delivered by a person that DEMANDED to take a picture of me holding the disposal and, literally, jammed his foot in my door, refusing to leave, until I let him take my picture. The installer and dishwasher never showed and when I called customer service, was told the dishwasher was back-ordered until 9/29. Then I was told, 9/30, then 10/1, then 10/4, then 10/5, then TBD. At one point, Sears asked me to consider a different model. I agreed, drove two-hours, round trip, to the store, only to be told THAT model was on back order. (I can't make this up!) Yesterday, an installer called me and said he was picking up the dishwasher, yesterday, oblivious to the fact that it wasn't arriving until later in the month. Despite the delays, he DEMANDED that I take off work to meet HIS scheduling convenience. When I, honestly, told him that my boss couldn't let me off, on a weekend, for a NON-emergency situation, Mr. installer got rude, "copped an attitude" and told me, "It's my company, I set MY schedule." I then got a call from a Sears rep who didn't understand his attitude and scheduling as they say it will be AT LEAST mid-October before the dishwasher will hit their warehouse. Meanwhile, I hired someone else to install the disposal, yesterday, after Sears decided that I was misquoted on the combination install price. Since Sears can't determine when the dishwasher will arrive, they cancelled my order but have YET to refund my charges. (They are saying 7-10 days!) After decades of buying clothes, appliances and photos from Sears, I am, sadly, finished with this company. Sears, you are your OWN WORST ENEMY!!! Sears is the reason that Sears is closing stores! MAYBE Sears will last 5 more years. I doubt it!"Next he goes to Best Buy.

On the 10th, he's all ready.

Four days later it's:

Then he tries Home Depot.

And apparently that didn't go to his liking either because he immediately jumped on Topix.

Lowes would have told him the exact same thing.

  

"First Sears, then Best Buy, now Home Depot fails to deliver a dishwasher!!! RETAIL FAILURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For actual fuck’s sake.

I bought a new dishwasher a few years back.  I picked it out, they brought it later in the week. It was a one time transaction.

But not Mark Halburn. He is incapable of having a normal human interaction
Everything is a huge travesty and personal affront.

This guy has now gone through THREE retailers who can't meet his stringent standards.

Halburn's Kitchen

And it turns out the reason three retailers wouldn't install a dishwasher in Halburn's kitchen was because there was no electric, plumbing or even a hole for a dishwasher.

Her believes his home warranty somehow covers this.
He's going to try to milk that thing every time something happens.
Ripping out cabinets to put in a dishwasher or something similar is not covered by home warranty.

Motherfucker, they’re installers not fucking contractors.
That’s contracting work. Not installation.
You want demolition, plumbing, and electrical, hire a contractor.

I guarantee he wasn’t honest with them to mention there was no space for  a dishwasher when he bought it .

Still Mentally Unhinged

Halburn's Vendetta Against Nazarene Church Continues

On October 1, Mark Vance Halburn, in his continuing desperation to regain custody or even visitation of his estranged son, filed suit against a laundry list of defendants.  This time in Nicholas County.

Nicholas County Courthouse in Summersville

It all goes back to his attempt to visit his son at a church camp in Nicholas County in 2017. That didn't work out so well for him and led to him being barred from seeing his son and eventually his arrest and jailing on a contempt of court charge.
It's a rehash of all of the numerous other losing appeals he has filed since his divorce was final in 2013. And all of the items have been previously decided. Res judicata.
He's just attempting to re-litigate the whole thing in a new venue.

This guy is living like a vagrant in South Carolina but he has the time to drive to Nicholas County and file this complaint. He's got a lot of nerve filing this whacko lawsuit when he's got a petit larceny charge in Dunbar hanging over him.
Oddly enough, the address he gave in the filing is in Dunbar. He hasn't lived in West Virginia since January.

He names the usual gang of suspects, his second ex-wife, the judge in his never ending family court case, the guardian ad litem assigned to the son, officials of the WV Nazarene Church, the church itself and 100 unnamed individuals who Halburn imagines have wronged him.

And it looks like he's representing himself again. A fool for a client.
Any Judge worth a grain of salt, will throw this case out on a motion to dismiss.

Lets get right to his complaint.

It's a pretty bold legal move claiming a sitting family court Judge lied. That should gain major style points with fellow judges.
The judge and the guardian ad litem have immunity so any of that is a moot point.
He was also been ordered by Judge Keller not to discuss the case and not file anything without a lawyer. Not sure how this affects that.

You know it's Halburn because there are words in all caps and lots of exclamation points scattered throughout the suit. Lawsuits filed in the Microsoft Word default font really mean business!
Plus he calls everyone names. Who does that in a legal filing but him?
How does that help if he ever wants to see his kid again?

Was the guy drunk when he drafted this?

He also must have just learned what the word triplicate means because he used it like 5 times.

Nazarene vendetta
Halburn's vendetta against the Nazarene Church may have started with his hatred of Charleston pediatrician Joseph Matusic when they attempted to locate a daycare at Teays Valley Nazarene Church. It intensified when his second ex-wife wanted to send her son to the WV Nazarene Camp in Summersville.
Now, in his paranoid mind, church officials have conspired with the judge, his second ex-wife and various other unknown and unnamed individuals in order to deprive him of his parental rights.
Note to fatboy: Crazy people don't get to keep or visit their kids.

Shiny Object
Then he serves up an affidavit from a guy at the Nicholas Health Department that he undoubtedly went and browbeat the guy into signing.

Halburn hangs his hat on the statement:
"I did not observe Mr. Halburn taking photographs of the building."
He obviously stopped reading there.

Because the next sentence is the real payoff:
"However, I was not in the company of Mr. Halburn during the ten-minute inspection period, so I can attest to neither Mr. Halburn's whereabouts or actions during that time."
It’s like the fat bastard didn’t even read that sentence. Because of course he didn’t.The last sentence basically negates the whole affidavit.
All Halburn sees is the guy saying he never entered the building. Shiny object.

He also demands that ownership of the Nazarene Camp must permanently be given to him and all expenses, operating costs, staff and manager costs, maintenance and mortgages related to the camp must be paid by the Nazarene Church.

He's also asking for the Court to grant him full custody of his son, which is something the Nicholas County Court has zero control over.  Plus , he wants his second ex-wife to pay HIM child support and repay the paltry amount ($177 per month) he has been forced by the court to contribute toward his son's support.

Damages

Halburn demands that all parties must each be ordered to, immediately, pay $1 trillion in compensatory damages, $10 trillion in punitive damages and $1 trillion, trillion in damages for violating his civil rights.

Even this much is not enough for Halburn's greed.

And if that's not enough, the greedy bastard demands that Judge Keller pay triple that!
He's also asking for Keller to be permanently imprisoned.
This is comedy of the highest grade. This guy takes the cake, hands down.

Dead mother
Halburn has said and done a lot of crazy things.
But the craziest is his ongoing demand that the court revive the cremated corpse of his mother almost six years after her death.

Halburn's mom was not available for comment

 
And now he's brought it up again.

"Therefore, this court must order my second ex-wife, Mike Kelly and Patricia Keller to put Mark and (the son) on a charter jet, immediately, upon receipt of this filing, for a final visit. Whatever extraordinary means that my second ex-wife, Kelly and Keller must undertake to make Nancy Halburn available for the final visit are the problems of my second ex-wife, Kelly and Keller and must be paid for at their expense!"
Hmmm. Yeah. Not crazy at all. Not. At. All.

The parties who are named have 20 days after service to respond, assuming he’s served anyone with the complaint.  A real lawyer uses a process server, but he doesn’t have the money.  In the past he's gotten his drunk, child beating buddy or his child molesting pal to do it.

Someone should move for sanctions for even having to respond to his nonsense. In some situations if a party is penniless, or if they frequently file frivolous suits, those sanctions can mean jail time.

It’ll be fun to see what happens, especially what the family court judge (who has 100% immunity) does. This guy’s never going to see his kid again.
Keller could very well throw him back in jail again for filing this without a lawyer. Especially since it's things that she's already ruled on.
Our understanding is the clock starts over again on the 18 months visitation ban with his son if he violates her order.

This lawsuit just demonstrates that he is the most deranged he’s ever been.  At this point, it’s literally just him using all caps, calling names, and asking for a million trillion dollars because of a personal vendetta with the Nazarene Church.

Halburn has never been self aware but this time it’s just too much. He’s too blind to realize this is doing to do big time damage to him ever seeing his kid again.

He is his own worst enemy. And he can't see that.
The weekly counseling he was ordered to get for the Matusic case doesn't seem to be helping.

PutnamLIES.com will have more on this story as it develops.

Pet Patrol

Halburn Hauls Hound Home

Yesterday Halburn had to brag to his audience of sycophants and disaffected dads:

It's a dog, asshole. Not a "fur person."
You're not even fit to be around your "son person" and you're getting a dog?
You're a real animal lover aren't you, shitbag?

"El Oroso"

You treated your last dog so well.
Everyone who drove through the Walmart parking lot had to avoid hitting him because you let him run loose all the time.
It's the same dog that you abandoned after your second ex-wife threw you out of her house and you moved to South Carolina.

You're just like one of these bums you see on the street with a dog. Can't take care of yourself , but you're hauling a dog around.

"Jazzy"

Rescuing a dog from a shelter doesn’t make you a saint. It doesn’t even make you an OK guy.
People do it every day.
This is just another cynical effort by Halburn to make himself look like a normal person. It won't work.

How long before you discard this one, fatass?

In The Ghetto

Halburn Buys A House

Guess who's now a homeowner? That's right. Mark Halburn.

He just bought a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1100 sq ft house in Lancaster, SC. on 9/19/2018 for $48,500.
.
Halburn fled West Virginia in January with an outstanding warrant. After shacking up briefly with his sugar mama and her parents, she quickly dumped him and he lived for a while in Charlotte before decamping to South Carolina.

Halburn's House

So, here's a guy with a sub 440 credit score and at least one bankruptcy. I can't imagine this motherfucker is going to walk in with his 200-item deep job history and his current $10-an-hour part time job and say "I'd like a mortgage please" and they'll be like "alright, buddy!"
He probably has a shit ton of open lines of credit too.

Most reputable lenders won't even write a mortgage loan for less than $50k. 

So how does he even get approved for a mortgage? Easy. He got the loan from a lender named PennyMac.
We're betting that they're one of those subprime kind of places. Or at least one that does some business in that. No minimum income requirement. No minimum loan amount. No down payment required.
That's the only type of lender that would loan money to someone like Halburn.
It's taken 10 years after the crash of 2008 for it to happen, but  lenders are starting to make lots of high risk  loans again. This has to be one of them.

Probably an FHA loan. so he's got at least a 5% APR. On a 30 year mortgage, that works out to probably a $400 a month payment.

You want to see why this house was only $48,500?

Halburn's neighborhood

That's right, he's livin' in the ghetto. He'll fit right in there. I'm sure the inside of his house is already filthy.

If you're in the area, drive by and blow your horn. He'll love that.

Realtors Warned To Beware

POSSIBLE STALKER ACTIVE IN GASTON COUNTY NC
In late July Realtors in the Piedmont region of North & South Carolina area were warned to watch out for stalker Mark Vance Halburn.

Mark Vance Halburn

On July 30, Halburn, using a fake name, posted this on the trailer park of the internet, Topix, one of his favorite places to anonymously attack people.

So we knew there had been an incident.

What happened?

Halburn used REALTOR.com to contact a real estate agency in Gastonia NC. But it turns out his reputation preceded him.

The first red flag? He specifically asked for a female Realtor.

Why would he do that?
That's his M.O.  Find a woman to intimidate.

After they got more information about him, they took precautions and agents showed him the listing.  During the showing, Halburn became agitated easily and contradicted himself numerous times, creating an uncomfortable situation for the Realtors. After the showing, he began emailing & texting the Realtors in a harassing manner.

Local police were notified and they confirmed Halburn's history of arrests for stalking and harassment in West Virginia. An investigation is now under way.

The Piedmont Regional Realtor Association in Rock Hill, SC then sent the following bulletin to all its members:

" ***PLEASE BE AWARE THERE IS A POSSIBLE STALKER IN THE AREA!!!***
It has come to our attention there is someone calling Real Estate Offices asking for a female realtor to show him unoccupied homes listed for sale. He calls and can be very verbally abusive when you advise him to come into the office.

The name he gives is Mark Halburn and the phone number shows up on the caller ID as 304-415-6397. We believe he is not a genuine customer and has a history of arrests for stalking and harassment.
Please use caution and your best judgment if you encounter this person."

This guy doesn't have two dimes to rub together and he's looking at houses?
He wouldn't even qualify for a mortgage.
And if it's a rental, they need to make sure they get a big cleaning deposit because this guy is the worst slob you've ever seen.
Then after all that, last week he group texted a bunch of realtors, saying if they needed high quality photos of their listings from a professional photographer, that they should call him.
Typical Halburn.
Shit all over everybody and then ask for a job.

We applaud Piedmont Regional Realtor Association for being proactive and warning their members about this menace.

As Judge Michael Kelly wrote in Halburn's final divorce order:
"Mr. Halburn's arrests follow the pattern clearly seen by the mental health professionals: he generates needless conflict and then overreacts when his bullying tactics are resisted."

And, as the West Virginia Supreme Court wrote:
"The family court found that "there is no doubt that Mr. Halburn will bully, degrade and infuriate everyone with whom he disagrees or who has refused to accommodate his odious and malicious conduct."
And finally, as Halburn's court ordered mental evaluation states:“Mr. Halburn’s psychological profile and behavior would suggest that he has propensity for aggressive behavior. Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”

8/24 UPDATE: Lippy fires back with his usual rejoinder.
We’d just like to remind Halburn.
It’s not libel if it’s true.

 

The all seeing eye never blinks, motherfucker.
We're watching you no matter where you go.
You can waddle, but you can't hide.

Area Thieving Bastard Steals Senator Ed Gaunch’s column

Out-of-state publisher Mark Halburn has plagiarized yet another article to run in his fake news hate blog.
This time it’s right out of the Gazette-Mail. This was the only news outlet in which Gaunch’s article appeared.
Gaunch confirms he did not send the op-ed to Halburn.

“Mark Halburn is a liar.”

Nowhere in the column on Halburn’s blog does he acknowledge that it is from the Gazette-Mail or provide a link to the original.
It’s just blatant theft from a blatant thief.

https://www.wvgazettemail.com/…/article_b0cf8c95-0142-55a0-…

Then, on  July 19, the plagiarist doubled down and made this statement:

 

False accusation? Hardly.

A spokesperson for the Gazette Mail confirms that they did not receive Gaunch’s column until July 10. It ran on the 11th.

Halburn didn’t share the link until July 16. So he wants us to believe he left it sitting there 8 days without promoting it? Right.
Halburn is so desperate to drive traffic to his site that he pimps any of his stories as soon as he publishes them.

Amazing how Halburn claims he published an article before it was even written.
He must have hopped in the Delorean and gone ahead in time.

So the delusional liar is delusional. And a thief.
