Guess who's 50 Today?

And Not A Thing To Show For It


Hallburn turns 50 today.
What's Marky getting for his birthday?
A BRAND NEW DIVORCE!
A NEW PLACE TO LIVE!

50 is a milestone.
Many people that age are starting to wind down and looking towards retirement.

Not old fatboy.
An average of 2 jobs a year since he started working doesn't put any money into the old retirement account.
He'll have to work until the day he dies. How ironic will it be when the only job he can get is saying "Welcome to Walmart"?



Happy birthday motherfucker.
Hope you don't have many more.

Now pack your bag and get out.

HALLBURN (SEMI-) PUBLICLY APOLOGIZES

In a desperate attempt to salvage his disappearing marriage, Hallburn printed the unthinkable on Saturday: an apology.



Sources tell PutnamLIES.com that his behavior and the attack articles on his blog were a source of friction in the marriage. This appears to be an effort to placate his soon to be second ex-wife.

But he buried it as a Letter to the Editor on his blog. A publisher with any credibility or ethics that is apologizing for his editorial and personal behavior would place an apology prominently on the front page. Which immediately tags this letter as another piece of self serving bullshit that Hallburn is so good at serving up.
Here is the letter in its entirety.

I Apologize

It has been said that some of the techniques used to cover news, and the editorial cartoons used on PutnumLIVE.com have offended people.

For that I apologize.

PutnumLIVE.com will continue covering the news. However, the tactics will be toned down.

Mark Hallburn

Sincere?
Are you kidding?
This letter is nothing more than a big pile of horseshit. If there's one thing we all know, it's that Mark Hallburn does not apologize. To anyone. For anything.
A three line post hidden on his letters page does not make up for years of bullying, stalking and harassment. His tactics are exactly the root of his problem. If he was able to tone down his tactics, maybe he'd still have a wife.
We all know how he treats members of the general public. How do you think he treated his second wife?

All he is concerned about is himself. He's lost the place where he sleeps, he's lost the World Headquarters building. He's lost the woman that was supporting him so he could play reporter. But apparently he HAS found religion. As he always does, he blames others for destroying his marriage, then he tries to get all churchy, asking people to whom he won't tell the truth or even the existence of his divorce, for help.

Look in the mirror, Halburn. That's who's responsible for destroying your marriage.

Happy Birthday To Lee!

I got you a present.
Can you guess?
Thanks to you,
I'm now homeless!

Happy Birthday to someone that's made me miserable.

Walmart Neighbor Wants Out Of Marriage

HALBURN'S WIFE FILES FOR DIVORCE.
Mark Halburn says he'll shut down his blog and move.

Tired of the constant whining, the public embarrassment, the arrests, and the verbal humiliation, one neighbor of the Hurricane supercenter wants out of her marriage.

Mark Vance Halburn's wife filed for divorce on November 1 and a copy of the deed to her house was attached to the complaint. We hope Mrs. Halburn has a lawyer. You know he'll try and bully her into submission to get as much as he can.



Our Topix correspondent, sent along the following tidbit yesterday, posted there Monday night by none other than Mark Halburn, posing as "Newsguy Mark", under the heading of "Hallburns are divorcing".

Halburn writes,
"Before someone else announces it, I'm posting it here. All good things must come to an end, it seems. Tired of the Putnam County harassment, I am moving south. No adultery was committed. No more details, it's none of anybody's business. Show some class and leave it alone."

Well, that's not going to happen, fuckhead. No one's ever accused us of having any class, so let's just get right to it.

You say you're tired of the Putnam County harassment? And you're moving south? Great. We're tired of it too.
Have you already picked out someone new to harass down there? You should get in shape so it won't make you so tired this time.

Where are going to live? You have NO money. You should've thought this through before you once again tried your little sympathy kick. Or did you find a desperate semi-barren old maid on the internet to support you? Maybe someday you can buy YOUR third wife some cheap Chinese shoes.

And why even say "No adultery was committed" out of the blue? What brought that up?
You might as well have said "There is no taco salad" and it would have made as much sense.

Adultery? Hah! You haven't seen your cock in years.
How about mental cruelty?
We've seen how you treat women. We've seen how you bully and belittle people. Could it have been any different for your poor wife behind closed doors?

We can see that being prohibited from taking your child to the park can be a real marital strain. We can see getting fired (again) (you claim you quit, which would be even worse in this economy) from another job with benefits after only six months would cause problems. We can see that being publicly shamed for your behavior at the doctor's office might put a chill on things. The non-stop ranting and raving about trivial matters and all of your other juvenile behavior. It's cumulative. It takes a toll.
Maybe it was when you weren't at home in the evenings and things were so much nicer. Quiet. No chaos or drama. Reality finally strikes.

Looks like she finally reached her limit with you. After 13 years of your joblessness and being an impediment to life, she'd had enough.
She was totally taken in by you, which is how you sociopaths operate, which probably makes her all the more angry.

But on the other hand you've acted this way since you were married. She's seen how you behaved and saw how you were treated like a pariah and she went along with it, either by choice or by force.

PutnamLIES.com knew something was up a couple of months ago. He changed his Facebook status from "Married to DMH" to just "Married". Then she appeared to have defriended him on Facebook, plus his sister, his nieces and nephews ... all of them.

What's he going to do now? Change his status to "single" or "it's complicated"?

Then he goes on to say:

"I don't publish divorces on Putnum LIVE dot com. I am sure PutnamLIES will slime themselves some more by publishing it. Papers were supposed to be filed today. It's in the lawyer's hands.

I'm releasing the news here because I wanted SOME control over the inevitable publicity.

My plans are to move south and sell the news web site. I've already picked out a house that I will buy once the current one is sold.

The prospective new owner of Putnam LIVE dot com is a hard-hitting journalist that will give the bad guys that run this county nightmares that will surpass ANYTHING that I have done. The bastards will get what they deserve!"

You don't publish them but you've had plenty of snide comments to make about other people's divorces.
Believe me, assmunch, as soon as we get the papers we'll publish them.

You wanted to "release" this on the trailer park of the internet. How appropriate for you since you're lower than trailer trash.
Funny though that you didn't announce it on PutnumLive or Facebook. I guess you wanted someplace that more than 29 people would see. That sure will happen here.

You don't even have a claim on the house, asshole. Property acquired before marriage is not a marital asset. And, your name was never on the deed, as you insisted in pointing out at least five times in your deposition. Plus, your mother-in-law has an interest in the house as half owner. At most, all you'd be entitled to is 25% of the profits.

So, unless your second wife is so desperate to get away from you that she'd sell it for whatever she could get out of it and GIVE you some of it, all she owes you is a kick in your flabby ass as she sends you out the door, while she, her son and her Mother continue to live there. It'll be a lot more tolerable with you gone.

She's always been your meal ticket.
She works, cleans, cooks, takes care of the kid and she and her mother own the house. You can't hold a job because of your personality disorder. How are you going to survive in the real world without someone providing for you and wiping your ass?

It's about time she stopped putting up with your shit.

And then there's the son. The little boy that you've polluted and warped with your negative attitude. The only one that's truly innocent in this whole sordid mess.

Without you in the picture though, there's still hope for him. He's what 4? Get him away from you and he ought to smooth out in a few years. He has plenty of time. He'll forget a lot, because your broke ass won't come around often.He'll have a chance to start over if she drops the last name and moves to Kanawha County. If she's smart she'll petition the court to change the kid's name to give him a fighting chance. Going through life with the last name of Halburn would be like being the son of Charles Manson.You know you'll be a deadbeat dad. Collecting child support from you is going to be like pulling teeth.

God love her for giving that kid a chance. I hope she cuts all ties with you.

Then there's the house. Always the house.
That house isn't going to sell unless your second ex-wife accepts reality and puts a realistic price on it. $299,900 ain't going to do it. Reduced price? By $100? Please.

And then you bring up the Scott Edwards offer. But you never tell the truth about that.
The offer was the pre-Walmart appraisal of $149,000 plus 10%. That works out to about $164,000. You should have taken it. 100% of nothing is nothing. Which is what you have now.

Nobody wants your piece of shit opinion blog. The only thing that is worth a dime is the domain name and that's not worth much. The name is damaged goods.

Who are you going to sell it to? That hard hitting investigative reporter Jay Smith? Let him be the next one banned from everywhere. He already has the trespassing conviction to go along with it.

You know the really sweet thing? You're getting exactly what YOU deserve, you fat bastard. In public. The only thing better will be the day you pack up and leave town.

Adios, motherfucker.

As always, we invite Halburn to tell his side of the story or correct any inaccuracies, if he has the guts to.

PutnamLIES.com will have more as it becomes available.

Halburn Was Arrested For Strong Arm Robbery

Pudgy Publisher Allegedly Robbed Furniture Company



When you send your children to school, you might
think that the fat substitute teacher in the t-shirt and sandals is harmless.

So you might be surprised to know that PutnumLive.com publisher and part-time substitute teacher Mark Vance Halburn was once arrested for strong-arm robbery (211 PC), a felony, in California.

Arrested in in 1989, he spent over a week in the San Bernardino County Jail before he was released for trial.

Halburn purchased a set of shelves that was allegedly missing a shelf. He went to the furniture factory while on his lunch break from his substitute teaching job and after allegedly making some threats, and forcing a worker to take a shelf out of another shelving unit, left with a new shelf. He was later arrested at home after the employee alleged that he had a gun.

Robbery is defined as taking of property from another against their will by means of force or fear. The force doesn't need to be anything other than simple physical force or threat of force along with the intent to coerce and prevent resistance. There don't even have to be any weapons involved.

Strong-arm robbery is exactly what the name implies, a robbery committed through physical force or intimidation, or both. A robbery where the victim is punched or shoved, the classic mugging, is a strong-arm robbery under California law.

Many strong arm robberies are committed by people who are large and imposing in size. There is no actual weapon used. However they use their large size to bully a victim into handing over his valuables.

Starting to sound familiar now?
It's the classic Hallburn M.O.
Go to a furniture factory, get up in a clerk's face, make a lot of vague threats and bully them into coughing up a shelf.

Later at trial, the charges were reduced to disturbing the peace, to which Hallburn pled no contest and was placed on one year's probation.

Ironically, after he was released, Halburn never got the shelf back.

HALLBURN BANNED FROM PUTNAM PARKS

Sociopath Substitute Served


Once again, Mark Halburn has been banned.
This time it's from all Putnam County Parks and Recreation facilities.





The ban stems from Halburn's continued harassment of Putnam County Commissioner/Putnam County Parks and Recreation Commisioner Joe Haynes, his wife Karen and Parks and Recreation Director Scott Williamson. Halburn is obsessed about the yearly closure of Waves of Fun before Labor Day and has had a vendetta against Haynes for years..

Last month when Halburn attacked Commissioner Haynes, Haynes rightly called the pudgy publisher a "borderline psycho."

So, no one should be surprised that Director Williamson sent Halburn a letter banning him from all Putnam County parks. The order was served via telephone by Captain Larry Wingo of the Hurricane Police Department.



You may recall that Halburn has been arrested several times. The most recent incident happened in Kanawha County, when he attempted to force his way into a closed swimming pool. He was arrested for trespassing. Halburn was then humiliated in court last year when he was convicted of all charges in both Kanawha County Magistrate Court and in Kanawha Circuit Court. The audio of that trial is available only on PutnamLIES.com. He also narrowly avoided arrest last spring when he was escorted by police from a Charlotte NC motel.

Hallburn vows to get his crack legal team working immediately to get the ban lifted, if they will take the case on contingency.

Even with this latest order we expect that Halburn will continue to harass and stalk public officials because he won't be deterred by legalities. The easiest way for Halburn to avoid tough legal action is to act ethically. Which, as we all know is impossible for him, since he has no ethics.

Hallburn isn't the first nut to be banned from public property. And he won't be the last. It shows how deranged he is that Putnam County officials have to ban him from our parks.
As his court ordered mental report states: "Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately."
They obviously acted on our advice of September 20th when we suggested, "PutnamLIES.com has long said that the Parks And Recreation Commission should ban Halburn from any coverage of future Dog Swims and ban him from visiting Putnam County Parks. He's a ticking time bomb."



We applaud Commissioner Haynes and Director Williamson for taking this step to protect themselves, their families and the people of Putnam County from this menace to public safety.
