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

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.

GUILTY!!!

Silver Bracelets For…

MARK VANCE HALBURN

A PutnamLIES.com/Trash Bloggers Alliance Exclusive


After a 3 1/2 hour trial today in Putnam County magistrate court, Mark Vance Halburn was was found guilty of violating a personal safety order issued against him on behalf of Dr Joe Matusic.
It took the jury just 10 minutes to return a guilty verdict.

The day began when Halburn arrived at the courthouse and started barking out orders to his attorney, Christopher Butch. The first thing he did was hand him a piece of paper and said, “These are questions for you to ask me.”
He then sat in the waiting area and prayed out loud for the jury to understand that he had the wrong address.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.” Matthew 6:5

He also brought his Sugar Mama, Barbara, for support. And to go to his car and get his root beer that he needed.

Babs is fascinated by the newfangled cellular telephone.

Once in court, Halburn’s ancient attorney Christopher Butch appeared clueless and shook the whole time. But that was OK because Halburn seemed to run the whole show, sitting back in his chair like he owned the place, telling his attorney what to do and say, shoving papers at him the entire time and whispering to him every minute or so. The poor guy couldn’t keep his concentration because of it.  To the point where Halburn was told by the judge several times to be quiet and the prosecuting attorney asked “Which one of these men is counsel”?
It was a cut and dried case.

In his opening statement Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Lawson told the jury there were only two things to remember. There is a protection order, and that Mark Vance Halburn went to the home. The rest you hear, he said, is just smoke and mirrors meant to distract.

Lawson entered the order as exhibit 1, then a Google Earth shot of the Matusic property showing how you can’t see the house from Peach Ridge because the driveway is about a quarter of a mile long,

Exhibit 2: View of Matusic’s driveway from Peach Ridge Road

then pictures of the three no trespassing/ private property signs Halburn passed coming up the driveway, then a picture of the mailbox with large reflective numbers on it, and lastly a photo of Halburn’s car in Matusic’s driveway.

Exhibit 4 – Halburn driving his car up Dr. Matusic’s driveway

The red marker indicates the location of Halburn’s car in the picture above

Magistrate Linda Hunt accepted them all into evidence and they were shown to the jury.

The Prosecution called just one witness. Dr. Joseph Matusic.

Dr. Matusic did an excellent job on the stand.
He testified to the long term harassment and stalking by Halburn.
He explained about the pictures of Halburn’s car taken in the driveway.
The defense tried to bring up a lot of crap such as “Halburn is a local reporter and was going to get pictures” and “Why did you let Channel 13 on your property and not Halburn when he was just doing his job?”
The simple answer given was, “I don’t have a PSO against Channel 13 and you write a blog.”

At that point the prosecution rested its case.

The defendant's first witness was Putnam County Sheriff Deputy Shawn Johnson who testified that he went and took the report, went to the courthouse to verify the protection order and also spoke with Hurricane Fire Department.

Next, when Halburn took the stand they couldn’t shut him up. He would elaborate on anything and everything and talk and talk. The magistrate called him down multiple times because he would drone on and on. She finally said, “Just answer the questions”!
The answer to “did you go on to this property” isn’t a 15 minute response.

Halburn claimed he  had an email of the broadcast text sent to him by someone who worked (supposedly) at one of the television stations that he tried to enter as evidence. Magistrate Linda Hunt shut that down quickly. He wasn’t allowed to enter any of his material as evidence.  The look on his face was priceless when he had to come to terms with the fact that nobody cared about his mountain of useless, irrelevant and inadmissible evidence.

Halburn repeatedly tried to bring in what everyone told him on the phone and persisted with it.  The Prosecutor’s objections for hearsay were sustained every single time.

Then the lies started.

Halburn lied and said that he got lost and turned onto a public road. Except it was a driveway with no road sign on it, a mailbox clearly marked with large reflective numbers and THREE no trespassing signs.  He then drove up a 1/4 mile driveway to a house that can’t be seen from the road.

This shows the distance Halburn had to travel up the Matusic’s driveway.

Halburn had to make a conscious effort to go out Peach Ridge Road. It isn’t on the way to anywhere. He intended to go there. It’s not a thruway or side street. He drove 2 miles out a road that goes nowhere. Halburn knew exactly where the Doctor lives.

The route Halburn took to the house.

But he wants a jury to believe that an address that was clearly on a document he was served with was one he didn’t know.
And that he just made a mistake.

He can’t stop at someone’s house, ask if that’s Matusic’s property and then make the choice to continue to the property and call it an accident. If it was “an accident,” when the person told him it was Matusic’s property he would have turned around and gone home.

He continued to lie and said he was at the bottom of the driveway, except the Prosecution had pictures showing he was at the top of the driveway.
Lawson did a great job of tripping up Halburn’s defense on numerous inconsistencies, such as Halburn stating that he was given a wrong address from Hurricane Fire Department. The house number was on the mailbox at the main road and it is the same as was on the protection order. So that claim was disproved quickly.

Halburn tried to say he never came up the driveway and was nowhere near the house, but when shown the photos of his car at the top of the driveway, he admitted that it was his car.
Halburn continued to use his lame excuse that he was given the wrong address and he was there to take pictures for his news website because he is a “News Reporter.”, He got called out on that by Lawson who pointed out that it’s already been decided by the courts that it is a blog. At that point, Halburn slung his fat ass back in the chair until it looked like it was going to tip over.

On several occasions Magistrate Linda Hunt actually rolled her eyes at Halburn’s statements.

Halburn told the jury that Matusic followed him and therefore that negated the intent of the order.
The jury obviously thought that was just more of Halburn’s bullshit.

Halburn also wanted the jury to believe that Matusic called the police after Halburn blatantly violated the third personal safety order issued against him because Matusic was somehow trying to affect a motion to a family court judge that Halburn filed weeks earlier for sole custody of his son.

At one point, Halburn told his attorney to have Matusic’s fiancee thrown out for “Witness Intimidation.” Halburn’s sugar mama told the judge the fiancee was talking and helping out during the trial.

The jurors were buying none of it.
The surprising thing is that they could actually find six people that didn’t already have an opinion of him.

Then the verdict came in and the words people have been waiting years to hear were read.
“We the jury be unanimously agreed to find the defendant, Mark Vance Halburn, guilty of a misdemeanor offense of violation a personal safety order. So say we all”

Halburn’s lawyer then asked about the sentencing.When asked by Magistrate Hunt if he wanted to do sentencing today, Butch said he didn’t  bring his calendar.
She said “We can do sentencing today if you want.”
Butch asked, “Is he going to be sent to jail today?
And then the real laugher came out.
Butch says, “We would ask that you suspend any sentence your honor.”
Hunt asked, “You mean suspend any sentence?”
Butch meant suspend it permanently.
The State then asked for sentencing to take place immediately, but Butch asked for 3 weeks.
They rambled back and forth for several minutes before settling on September 21 for Halburn’s sentencing.

Then Halburn and his entourage of lawyer and sugar mama shuffled out of the courthouse and to the parking lot.

Halburn and his party doing the walk of shame.

But before he left, Mr Environmental Consciousness dumped some trash from his car/pigpen into the parking lot before he pulled out.

Can you believe this guy? Who keeps their car this filthy?

Fatlock asking for a jury trial has bitten him in the ass appeal-wise. He fucked himself on this one.


Here is a little known fact of the legal system. Halburn chose a jury trial thinking he could trash his victim that much more or he chose a jury trial because no sane judge would believe any of his rants. Anyhow, if you have a bench trial with a judge, and you appeal, then you get an entire new trial at no expense.
Halburn lied about his “businesses” and other sources of income in order to get a court appointed lawyer for his criminal contempt trial so that wouldn’t have been any skin off his nose.
But if he wants to appeal a jury trial, he can only appeal on errors that may have arisen during the jury trial. He will not get a new trial, only an opinion from a judge about any errors. AND he must pay thousands in court costs for the appeal. That’s money he does not have.

We should not make fun of nor torment the mentally ill.
Mark Halburn is an exception because he is the kind of mentally ill that is not bad enough to be in an institution, not mild enough for him to seek effective treatment and irritating enough to his fellow countrymen to piss off just about everyone he interacts with. Halburn is a blowhard and a bully who uses his “intelligence” and gifts of literary skills to extort local businesses out of some semblance of an income. Anyone who encounters Halburn can pretty quickly figure out that his elevator does not quite go to the top floor, but most also see that he is more the kind to post slanderous things than take physical action.

We all watch the news, we all see events where mass trauma and murder have been committed by the mentally ill. People whom others knew were dangerous, but had not quite committed enough to get them either incarcerated or helped before they hurt and killed others. Mr Halburn appears to fit into that category of pathology. We never know when Mr Halburn is going to go the next step but we should all be prepared for the day that happens and take appropriate action when it does. But until then, lets hope Halburn learns from this experience, hope that Halburns new cell mates can help him see the error of his ways, hope that Halburn’s sugar mama/girlfriend/ fiance Barbara is a good influence on him and calms the demons inside him even though she empties bedpans for a living and seems as dim witted as Halburn.. God knows his two ex-wives were never able to do anything.

But anyone who interacts with him should also remember this statement from his court ordered mental evaluation:
“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.”

Mental illness often has patterns and cycles and Halburn’s now appears to be on the escalation phase.
In June, he was sentenced in Kanawha County to 6 months in jail for harassing WCHS Radio and the Mayor of Charleston. While awaiting this trial, he trespassed at a church camp and has a personal safety order from that incident which prevents him from seeing his own son. In the weeks after that, he visited several churches of the same denomination and left flyers on worshipers’ cars while they were attending church services.

Halburn will be sentenced on September 21 at 2:30pm. The State will ask for the maximum sentence of 90 days.

It would be better than jail for him to do the time in a mental hospital.
Actual incarceration isn’t going to fix his problem.
He needs to be involuntarily committed.

He’s At It Again

Area Man Tries for Third Consecutive Restraining Order

Last Sunday, Mark Halburn struck again.
This time it was at the Nitro Church of the Nazarene.
He left the same self serving flyers on peoples’ cars once again.

He’s so transparent.
You can tell it’s him by his insistence upon using both that God-awful Verdana font and excessive exclamation points.
And for the love of all that’s holy, stop calling yourself a “single father,” Fatsack.

He has been harassing the church nonstop since he was removed from their church camp in Summersville earlier this summer. It appears he was upset about health code violations that occurred prior to the camp’s opening and went there demanding access and was then removed.

After that, he started to use fake names to harass them via one of his favorite methods, Topix.



Then, several weeks later in another post,  he claims he filed some sort of a claim against the church, obviously in an attempt to shake them down.



He follows it the next day with this:



And then, a few days later, he drops this one:



PutnamLIES.com urges the leadership of the Church to get a restraining order against Halburn immediately, covering ALL Nazarene churches for the protection of their pastors, worshipers and property.

As his mental evaluation stated:
“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.”

Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Halburn

Mark Halburn, the Dunbar domestic terrorist, has a driving problem. Seems he doesn’t believe laws apply to him. He has a string of traffic tickets, which as usual, he says are not his fault. But nothing ever is, is it?

He has a big beef with the police in the town where he squats. Dunbar PD has issued numerous citations to him, mostly for speeding. Usually about twice the posted speed limit.
HE, apparently, gets to determine what he considers “a normal rate of speed.”

30 in a 15. TWICE the posted limit.

So he blames the mayor.

To the point where he’s literally got like a half dozen online videos of him stalking the Mayor’s neighborhood to try and prove some lame point about speed limits in the town.
He conveniently leaves out the fact that he would have still been exceeding the limit even if the speed limit been 25 mph.

Halburn Stalks Mayor Greenlee’s Home on 19th Street

 21st Street 

20th Street

18th St

A ticket beef was what sent Halburn to jail in July 2014 after an incident at Dunbar City Hall.
And, the guy who is so obsessed about other peoples’ behavior seems to have no problem with videotaping and driving at the same time.
Greenlee was also the target of numerous sock puppet postings by Halburn on the trailer park of the internet, Topix.

Here’s an attack he made on January 8,2017.

And another one made before the recent election.

To show the extent of Halburn’s vendetta, Roger Wolfe, the candidate he was promoting above, had formerly been Dunbar’s mayor before he was removed from office in 2008 when he approved pay raises for four department heads and approved other city expenses without city council’s approval. The State Ethics Commission later fined him $35,000 in 2011 after they found he violated the Ethics Act for receiving reimbursements without proper authority.
All of which Wolfe has refused to pay.

He’s the type of politician who Halburn would normally rail against, but this time gets a pass because it advances Halburn’s agenda.
Or maybe he feels a kinship with a fellow deadbeat.

So PutnamLIES.com was completely gobsmacked when Halburn posted this on Mayor Greenlee’s Facebook page Saturday.

Seriously? What a sniveling ass kisser. What’s your angle now, Halburn? Hoping the replacement mayor will be a pussy that you can push around?
It doesn’t matter. You’ll always be a fat loser living in a one bedroom garage apartment, with no job, no future and no son.

Unhappy Camper

Now it seems that Mark Vance Halburn has a vendetta against the Nazarene Church. Why?
Because a pastor at a church camp dared to speak the truth to the blobby blogger. The pastor told Halburn that one person was responsible for his divorce. Mark Vance Halburn.

And also because he’s nuts.

PutnamLIES.com’s religion reporter took this picture of  a flyer he left on  windshields last Sunday at the 1st Church of the Nazarene in South Charleston.




Seriously, what kind of asshole leaves flyers on worshiper’s cars while they’re in church?

I’m sure they’re deeply sorry for this happening to the people who came to services on Sunday, but, unfortunately, they are currently the target of a mentally unstable man with a burning vendetta, and he will stop at nothing — including disrespecting their sacred hour of worship — to smear their church and its leadership.

If they’re smart, they will get a restraining order against him.

This is not the first time he’s done this either. On Easter Sunday in 2014 he drove to Barboursville and left flyers on cars at WV Delegate Kelli Sobonya’s church denouncing her for not introducing bills for his nonsensical 27 item agenda.

Fats goes Krogering!

Last Tuesday night at the Dunbar Kroger store, Halburn was standing in the middle of the store yelling into his enormous phone headset. Accusing whoever was on the phone of  "smearing his name to a business with untruths," which of course means it's 100 percent true.  Shouting that this person never contacted him to get his side of the story which was rude and unprofessional.
The man has absolutely no self control. He no doubt called the poor schlub at home. 

People were turning to stare.

And here's this fat asshole who isn't holding a phone but he's yelling a one-sided conversation in the middle of a busy supermarket. 

Sure he could had had this conversation in his car. But he wants people to think he's some powerful, intimidating person who handles his business like that. He wants people to see it.

Nothing says power and intimidation like a fat guy in shorts and sandals screaming a conversation in a grocery store.
And it's not the first time it's happened in this same store.

I Wuz Framed!

 

 It's hard for Halburn to argue that a criminal complaint was fabricated when it was HE who posted the videos of parking stalking like they mention in the criminal complaint.

ARRESTED AGAIN!

Silver Bracelets For Halburn?

Not quite yet.

But he did turn himself in on ANOTHER charge of telephone harassment the other day. This is the 3rd time he's been charged with this same crime. 
This time it stems from his vendetta against Charleston Mayor Danny Jones, who hosts a show on WCHS radio.

The Complaint

The complaint issued by Charleston Police Detective W.R. Anderson reads:
On April 28, 2016. the defendant, Mark Vance Halburn, did make approximately eight phone calls to West Virginia Radio Corporation, located at 1111 Virginia Street East, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. According to the station's Vice President / Market Manager, Bob Visotcky, the defendant has been banned from the property, as well as the air. The defendant has made multiple phone calls to the station for approximately two years, harassing employees. On March 31, 2016, the President of WV Radio, Mark Miller sent a notice to Mr. Visotcky and Mr. Dale Cooper, Operations Manager, stating the station will no longer take calls from the defendant. Mr. Miller had previously spoken with the defendant and requested he no longer contact West Virginia Radio Corp. The defendant has shown up in front of the building, harassing employees about on street parking, in the past. Due to the amount of calls today (4/28/16), the administrative assistant, Amy Dempsey, has become fearful for her safety, as well as that of her coworkers, as her desk is in the front of the building, by the front door, and visible from the street.

He turned himself in so he's probably out on a personal recognizance bond.

But it is still considered bond and he can not commit any offense (even traffic) or they can revoke his bond and place him in jail until his hearing.

 
The case is Kanawha County 16M-2960
A hearing date has not been set at this time.

Halburn Stalking Candidate Cole's HQ

Area Man Plans to Break Several Laws to Prove Other Guy Is Perhaps Violating One

 

Domestic terrorist Mark Vance Halburn's at it again.
He's still stalking gubernatorial candidate Bill Cole.
This time he's lurking outside his campaign headquarters on Capitol Street in Charleston and harassing supporters who are there picking up campaign materials.
Plus it's right across the street from his lawyer, who by the way, fired him shortly after this.

Halburn multitasks - Photographing and harassing a Cole supporter

People literally stream in and out of there all day to pick up signs for the county and statewide races. It's an inconvenient location for parking purposes. People who are coming to get signs are told to let someone from the campaign know what you want and how many and they'll have them ready to be run out to your car so you can be on your way.  They ask people specifically to try to avoid high-traffic times, like before and after work and lunch so they can keep traffic moving.  It's not like they're parking there for hours. It's an in & out thing.

But, of course, Halburn has seen the need to appoint himself citizen parking enforcer. He has become very upset with receiving several parking tickets over the past few years. Of course, NONE of those were his fault. Just ask him. Nothing ever is.

He whines, "Cole's campaign office won’t enforce the law."
Yeah. You know why?
IT'S NOT THEIR FUCKING JOB!

He says, "We telephoned Cole’s office, seeking comment. The call has not been returned."
Don't hold your breath, shitbag. It won't be.

But since you're unemployed and mentally ill, you have all day to stand outside and watch and shout at people who drive in, "Why does Bill Cole encourage illegal parking?" "Why don’t public officials, and their followers, obey the laws?" you can be the vigilante parking enforcer.

They can't keep Halburn off Capitol Street since it's a public thorofare, but Cole's people have 911 on speed dial if he comes through that door.

His whole thought process just makes no sense. At all. It's a 4 year old's mentality.

It's tattling on someone for taking a second bag of milk at break time in kindergarten.

Pool's Closed

It's that time of year again.
Halburn is upset Charleston pools are closed so he calls Charleston Mayor Danny Jones at home .

DENIED!

In his ongoing battle to be recognized as a legitimate journalist, Halburn has been soundly rejected again by West Virginia State University.

At least there's one government office that has the balls to tell him no.

 

Not a bonafide news service? Has she not seen his headset?
Many times it is easier to get press credentials with a title of 'blogger' or 'podcaster' than that of journalist, of course it helps if you're not an asshole too.    
 
I'm sure he has already located Ms. Osborne's address and is in the process of  harassing  her unmercifully.

Thrown Out of Target - Harass more. Behave Less

Halburn and his 8 year old son were thrown out of an area Target a few weeks ago.
Seems the corpulent complainer spotted  WV Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry, couldn't control himself and began verbally attacking the jurist, so he and his son were escorted out of the store.

WV Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry

Halburn describes what he imagined happened,

"Target allowed Lunatic Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry to yell at my son when I told him to stay away from Loughry.
I spoke to my son - not the justice. The justice started screaming at us and even tried to intimidate Target's staff by whipping out a badge. I told the justice to leave us alone and immediately took my son away from the hothead justice and went shopping in the rear of the store. The justice continued to get in our face and continued to intimidate their staff. I asked to speak to the assistant manager about the issue and we went outside to avoid the screaming justice. I have, since, been back in the store, to shop."

A few days later he continued with his lies.

"An out-of-control Target customer and management's failure to properly deal with said customer now has (his second ex-wife) distorting the incident in a court document. When I spoke to the store GM, he was rude. He refuses to let me talk to his district manager (obvious damage control!). I am referred to Guest Relations where I repeatedly am connected to an (apparent) overseas call center where the CSRs overwhelm me with their heavy accents." 

Of course, his story is complete self-serving bullshit, as usual.

He also says Target apologized to him.
Businesses don't apologize when they throw a disruptive customer out.

 
What really happened?

When Halburn saw the justice, he started making snide remarks in a very loud voice to the kid, calling the Justice an "unethical politician" among other names, while following the Loughry through the store, causing a scene.  
The entire Target store heard him because that was his intention. He knows better than to just outright attack the guy, so he used the kid. Why not just take the boy and WALK AWAY???

This is exactly the type of behavior the WV Supreme Court wrote about when they said, " Halburn will create conflict with third parties which might scare or alarm or traumatize [the child] or place the young child in reasonable apprehension of bodily harm caused by others, or, if  Halburn is arrested yet again, might result in the child being placed in the temporary care of unknown private or public third parties until [the child's mother] can retrieve him."

This is why you'll never have custody of your son, Halburn.

Another FOIA Fishing Expedition

Halburn is well known for his FOIA fishing expeditions. And since the Secretary of State now has a searchable database of all requests filed with WV government agencies, his demands can now be read online.

His latest vendetta seems to be against West Virginia State University. He was demanding copies of emails and their criteria for what they constitute as working press.

The focus of his ire this time is WVSU Director for Public Relations Jack Bailey.
Once we saw the request shown below, it all made sense.

Last month when WVSU was celebrating its 125th anniversary, we thanked WVSU for adding us to to the press list and giving us full access all to the events. The Blobby Blogger begged to be on the press list but was repeatedly denied.

HALBURN AMBUSHES MAYOR AGAIN

Remember on March 16 when Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said on the air that he was confronted by Mark Halburn in the parking lot of WCHS Radio? Halburn immediately denied it ever happened and claimed that he never drove the wrong way on ANY streets, never "confronted" the mayor and had only ever had one prior one-on-one conversation with Jones .
Obviously this was just another in a long series of self-serving lies by the portly publisher.

On Tuesday, April 5th, 2016 he was waiting outside the station again for Jones to walk to his car. When he started shouting questions at the Mayor, Jones said nothing, got in his car and drove away.
 

 Halburn also telephoned WCHS Station Manager Bob Visotcky, who hung up after the Fatman began making accusations in his whiny, high pitched, lispy voice.

Jones' crime? The meter where he had parked his car had expired.
Not. Crazy. At. All.

Halburn Now Stalking Charleston Mayor Danny Jones

Matusic Gets Restraining Order Against Halburn Renewed

Which doctor just had a two year restraining order renewed against the PsychoPublisher?

 On February 3rd, 2016, Mark Vance Halburn followed a car driven by Charleston pediatrician Joseph Matusic's minor daughter to the parking lot of Winfield High School where he then proceeded to photograph the car and it's license plate.

You want to bet whether or not Halburn's fingerprints are on that license frame that he bent?

After that incident Dr. Matusic returned to court and had a two year restraining order against Halburn renewed. A previous order had been issued in October 2012 but had expired.

It is unknown whether or not Halburn is even allowed on the Winfield High School property or if he violated a restraining order being there.

Halburn also also called the TV station where Matusic hosts a segment on the news, which he was formerly ordered not to do.

Matusic had a previous restraining order issued against Halburn in October 2012. That one expired in October 2013.
