Pawn

What kind of father agrees for his sick son to skip his visitation and stay home instead of going with him and then threatens to file an emergency contempt motion against the mother?

Mark Halburn

His son is nothing more than a pawn to him.
He doesn't love the boy, he loves using him and the legal system to harass his second ex-wife.

WHICH AREA RESTAURANTS GET PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT?

Halburn continues to run a feature on his fake news blog that he calls "In The Kitchen," where he regurgitates restaurant inspection reports that he has harassed the Putnam County Health Department into sending him.

What's so unusual about that, you might say?

What's unusual is that in all the years he's been running these reports he has only posted ONE inspection report from any of his long-term "advertisers." That was in 2015 from the Nitro Tudor's. 
 





He has NEVER printed the results of a Health Department inspection for any Gino's or Barnyard BBQ restaurant. All three "advertise" on his blog. 
Gino's has 4 Putnam County locations, Tudor's has 5. Barnyard has 1. 
So it can't be that they're not being inspected.

Is he not reporting negative results for certain restaurants because they run ads on his blog? Or in exchange for free food?
Does he single out other restaurants for punishment or payback because they refuse to have anything to do with his hate filled agenda?

Halburn has a deal with Barnyard BBQ where he gets a free meal once a month in exchange for advertisements and favorable stories. That allows him to brag to all his Facebook toadies that he takes his son there for "our monthly prime rib dinner."

Just another example of his continuing conniving, corrupt, unethical, journalistic behavior.

Hey, it's Father's Day

Here's a little song forHalburn.
How's it feel for another man to be raising your "son", fatass?
At least he's a man the boy can look up to instead of one to be embarrassed about.

The Crazy Wall

Halburn is OBSESSED with getting his kid's picture taken. He gets his picture taken constantly.

Halburn lives in a tiny, one bedroom garage apartment in Dunbar. Virtually every single inch of wall space is covered with pictures of the boy. It's a creepy shrine. There can't be an inch of wall space without a picture. It's not that big.

He takes the kid and has his Portrait made for every single birthday, Valentines Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, school, soccer, basketball, the list goes on and on. 

You know when the police go to a serial killer's home and his walls are covered with his victims' pictures?  It's like that. 

And these aren't pictures most people have in their houses. 4x6s, 8x10s. No. That's not good enough for MARK FUCKING HALBURN. 
These are 10x13s, 16x20s. Huge prints, almost poster sized. And all framed.
All this from a guy who makes less than minimum wage and had his child support payment cut at least three times.

And he's been banned from almost every photo studio in town.
Sears
Target
LifeTouch
Portrait Innovations

He goes in and immediately starts complaining.
He had to wait. They couldn't accommodate his special requests. The photographer wouldn't do what he wanted. Other patrons and their kids are annoying. Harassing employees. Calling names. Throwing things. Reshoots. And all with a coupon. And he still complains about the results.
Which results many of the times in comped pictures.
He bitches enough and they just give it to him.

At one point he even borrowed a prop from another photographer and took it to Target for them to use. That takes a lot of nerve.

As the kid gets older he looks more & more uncomfortable in these photos.  What used to be smiles have turned to grimaces. That kid has to have some emotional problems from this stuff.

"At Target Portrait Studio having the boy's annual Father's Day portrait shot. There are children (REPEATEDLY) whining "mommy" and "daddy" to parents who are 1) Ignoring them. 2) Failing to tell their lovelies to "QUIET!" Then there are the middle school and elementary school sisters who are LITERALLY slapping each other around while their "dad" ignores them. Makes me grateful that 1) I would NEVER ignore the boy this way. 2) He KNOWS not to whine. 3) He is an ONLY child! ROFL!!! (It could be worse-BROTHERS draw blood!) Next, I will go to the pain killer aisle and buy a HUGE bottle of Excedrine Maximum Strength!"

1). You would NEVER ignore the boy this way? Not unless you were writing an article for your blog or posting on Facebook or attacking someone on Topix or digging through the trash for bottle caps.
2). Only daddy is allowed to whine.

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.

Fired Again

Well, that didn't take long.

After bragging about "Getting a chance to work in some college towns in the southeast this month", It appears Halburn has lost yet another job after just two weeks.
Funny how a company that hired someone to stock gas station shelves prefers that person to not harass hotel clerks and restaurant employees while working for them.


UPDATE:

We made our post at 10:36. Halburn made this post at 10:53. Seventeen minutes later. The whole post from the courageous cat saver is a huge lie.

You know, for someone who doesn't care, he sure does talk about it a lot.
HE can't ignore it because we've been living rent-free in his head since 2009.
Looks like he has plenty of time to sit around on his fat ass and lie some more since he got fired again.

Stocking gas station shelves is not a "project."

He still can't keep those CVS Facebook lies straight.
Now he says he "quit" in March after giving notice in February.
You don't get escorted out of your workplace kicking and screaming by a security guard when you quit.

On April 12 he wrote:
"they wonder why I resigned March 1st!"

Then, on April 18, he said:
" I quit, in February"

Which is it fatboy?
Either way you've lost another job.
Once they find out what an psycho asshole you are, they fire your ass.
