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.

It's Father's Day

Halburn Hasn't Seen His Son In A Year

Here's a little song for you, Halburn.

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 and ashamed  about.

The last 365 days have had to be the happiest days in that boy's life.

The Halburn Bunch

Delusional Dipshit Sings

 Nothing about this at all says “I’m fucking nuts.” Not at all.

That's completely off the wall.
A normal, stable person doesn't just sit around and randomly make up songs about himself and how awesome he is.

Halburn Wrong About Valley Park

Claims New Community Center Not Needed

What a civic minded guy!

Halburn’s latest weird ass story on his fake news, hate blog is about the new Community Center at Valley Park and as usual, he has his facts wrong, no surprise.

Halburn writes: "the historic Valley Park community center was torn down to make room for the new facility."

The old Community Center

Bullshit The old community center was not historic in any way. It was built in the early 90s, and the adjoining building wasn't built until 1997.

Of course now, Halburn will complain "The building, was less than 30 years old!!!"

The New Valley Park Community Center

He continues with his screed:

"In 2009, then SBA Executive Director Mark Manchin, was visiting Wellington’s to promote the school bond. PutnumCountyNews. com was aware of the need for a county performing arts center and community center large enough to hold high school proms and the annual chamber of commerce dinner. So we asked Manchin if the S.B.A. would pay for one.
“Yes,” was Manchin’s response. “We just built one in Wheeling.”"

 Except in 2009, Mark Manchin couldn't have said "We just built one" in Wheeling,. The only thing Manchin could have been talking about is the J.B. Chambers Performing Arts Center, which is on the campus of Wheeling Park High School. They started moving earth in 2009. It didn't open until 2012.

That Arts Center wasn't "paid for" by the SBA. The SBA gave a $5 million matching grant. The other $5 million was raised through the community and other sources. It took them 16 years to get enough money to have the grant matched.

It's also not a "community center." It's just performing arts center -- theater, concerts, etc.  You can't have proms or other random things there

It's on the damn high school's property.

He goes on:
"There is an, aging, performance stage, at the fairgrounds. It is outdoors where the audience and performers are exposed to the weather. The only “facilities” are porta-potties. Not exactly a great attraction for patrons and performers to come to Putnam County. One key Putnam County official never supported the idea of a state-of-the art center at the fairgrounds: Putnam County Superintendent of Schools Harold “Chuck” Hatfield."

You know why? Because the SBA doesn't fund non-school properties. Period.
The Putnam County Fairgrounds has nothing to do with the schools. It's not owned by the school board.

Where does he think SBA money comes from? Fucking unicorns?
Spoiler alert, dicknose -- it's money from the taxpayers. Even Putnam County taxpayers. You're just bitching that the money was spent out of a different pot.

Aside from the obvious, Halburn -- it isn't like you even live in Putnam County or actually make enough money to even pay taxes, hell, you don't even live in West Virginia anymore.

If the streets were paved with gold, this asshole would complain that it wasn't shiny enough.

Halburn Skips Court Date

Fat Thief Still On The Waddle
 
A packed courtroom in Huntington was the scene on May 24th where more than 20 spectators (and 5 bailiffs)  waited for the inevitable show... which never happened.

Mark Vance Halburn did not appear for his scheduled hearing in Cabell County for the appeal of his Putnam County conviction for stalking Dr. Joe Matusic and his family.

Convicted Stalker Mark Vance Halburn

It appears that all of Putnam's circuit judges recused themselves, so Cabell County Circuit Court Judge Paul T. Farrell was appointed to handle the appeal.

Cabell County Circuit Judge Paul T. Ferrell[

Halburn's elderly lawyer, Christopher Butch, was there and argued the appeal on Halburn's behalf. A ruling is expected soon.

Since Halburn had a jury trial in magistrate court, the appeal is strictly a review of the record for any errors that may have occurred. PutnamLIES.com's legal corespondent says it it highly unlikely that any errors will be found.

Court watchers also reported that Mr. Butch may have withdrawn from the case after the hearing.

Why the no-show by a guy that has loudly proclaimed his innocence from the rooftops and literally tells his attorney what to say?
Because of the outstanding warrant in Kanawha County.
Halburn knew if he showed up he'd be arrested, so he was no longer interested in appearing.
Skip a futile appeal vs. an arrest and probation revocation. A no brainer even for a psychopath with no brain.
Halburn fled the state in January, returning occasionally, but staying with various degenerate friends to avoid detection by law enforcement.
