Appeal To Insanity

Halburn is appealing the denial of his request to take his kid to California. He says "Here's part of what the boy and I can enjoy together, in addition to Disneyland, the beach, Legoland, and the zoos..." 

Then there's the part about the trunk of a car, a closet at a cheap motel and a lifetime on the run.

Harbor Fraud

Halburn has a new minimum wage menial job as a stockboy at Harbor Freight Tools in Cross Lanes. I guess the insurance sales job didn't work out. Stop by and pick up a magnifying device or one of those those handy pick up devices and give him some shit. Demand to be serviced. 
How ironic is it that someone who complained about Walmart selling cheap Chinese shoes is now selling cheap Chinese tools? 
This is going to look real good on his voluminous resume.

Strangely enough, he made no mention of his past when applying there. Said his name was Vance.
He works 3 days a week and gets no health coverage. Reports are that everyone hates him at work because he acts like the asshole that he is.

This was the same Harbor Freight store he defrauded in 2012 when he first moved into his shitty rodent infested garage apartment in Dunbar.

"How I shop: I need a toolbox and reversible screwdriver set. While moving in I found a crate of "stuff" under the kitchen sink. One item was a "welder's apron" in a sealed package from Harbor Freight tools. I "think" we can rule out me taking a welding class, so I take it tonight and exchange it for a new toolbox and reversible screwdriver set. The manager handles the exchange, I reach for my wallet to pay the difference, she laughs and hands me the difference: One penny. You read it right: I get a new toolbox, a screwdriver set-and a penny!"

Mr. ethical, honest Christian.

Lets see how long this job lasts.

A Visit From Pappy Parker

 Halburn has all these sock puppets he's created to attack others or defend his ridiculous positions. The latest is one called Pappy Parker.

 He originally made a Facebook Profile called Pappy Parker's Fruits & Vegetables way back in March 2013 when we made fun of him for digging through the trash looking for bottle caps.
Back then Pappy said,"I worked at a prize fulfillment center before I retired. Each prize ordered affects about 10 jobs from the warehouse to the packer to the box maker to the UPS processing center to the driver. Keep turning in those Coke points. The economy needs you and your son probably loves getting packages in the mail. As for your critics, screw them. You do great work for Putnam County." 

Except he slipped up. See that phone number? Yeah, that's Halburn's. He added the photo later.

Last Friday, Halburn demanded on his blog that the Board of Education endanger our children's lives by doing away with snow days and sending students to school when the roads are dangerous.

OPINION: School Closures

January 3, 2014 Mark Hallburn 34 Views

Our Students Need To Get An Education
Opinion
Putnam County students get to stay home-for a day. Schools are closed!
Due to the snowfall, Friday, January 3rd, 2014, all Putnam County Schools announced are closed for the day.
It’s a familiar article and announcement made several times a year.
When a few inches of snow falls, Putnam County Schools goes into the “wimp mode” and orders that schools shut down for a day.
This is wrong.
A few inches of overnight snowfall shouldn’t shut down our classrooms. Students need their education on a daily basis.
West Virginia’s schools are some of the worst in the nation. Instead of calling unnecessary snow days, a two-hour delay and a 220 day classroom schedule needs to take place-statewide.
Don’t keep our students home where they watch television and play video games. Parents don’t need to be burdened with last-minute day care and babysitting adjustments. Once a two-hour delay is called, stick with it!
This isn’t a school bus issue. Students rarely die in school bus accidents, including states from Colorado to Wyoming to Maine to Washington. Parents should take the responsibilty (sic) of bringing their children to school.
Our students need their education. Part of that is knowing that education is a priority. A few inches of snow is a lame excuse to cancel school for the day.
There are econonic (sic) issues as well. Those classrooms are heated whether students are there or not. Turning on the heat, lights, and other items when classrooms are empty is simply a waste of money.
It’s a simple solution: Keep our children in school.
 
This obviously caused a firestorm on PutnumLive's FB page.
Virtually every comment berated him for his dangerous, know-nothing position.

He made a feeble attempt to defend himself by trotting out Ol' Pappy Parker to leave comments supporting Halburn's position. He actually broke out the sock puppet to insult the people who criticized his stupid editoral.

Pappy's first lie was, "This retired upstate New York school bus driver is laughing at the comments about school buses. When was the last time someone heard about a school bus crashing on a cold morning? Extremely rare. Even the Pennsylvania school bus crash, this morning, was because the car crossed the divider. No students were injured. The ladies whining with their comments watch too much Soapnet."

Later Pappy continued, "I am a WV native living up the road from Buffalo. I graduated from the old Buffalo High School, moved with my first wife to upstate New York, when our son attended Rochester Institute of Technology. He challenged me, in my 40's to go to college. I did. We graduated together. I came back to West Virginia when my wife passed away. My son went to WVU law school and challenged me to do the same. He graduated with honors. ( I didn't.) But I graduated. Both of us passed the West Virginia Bar. My son still lives in Morgantown and is a Circuit Judge near WVU. I hooked up with a Buffalo High School classmate who had a daughter that went to law school with me and I re-married. She wanted to live in Putnam County and we've been here ever since. We also own a condo in Morgantown, another in Myrtle Beach, and a home in Tampa. We are here this week for the holidays. If people are so concerned about black ice, they need to plow their own roads. Or Putnam County and the Putnam County Schools need to buy some snow plows and get out there. Or both. There's nothing wrong with a community effort. Yes, I was out at 5:00 a.m. plowing our road. My neighbors appreciated being able to drive to work safely. A lawyer driving a snowplow. Shoud have shot video. The main issue is that education needs to be a higher priority."

Do you live in Putnam County or are you just here visiting?
So you worked at a "prize fulfillment center", retired as a bus driver, went to law school  AND you have homes in Putnam County, and Tampa, and condos in Morgantown, Myrtle Beach.
That bus driving must be REAL lucrative.
It must be hard keeping all the lies straight.

Strangely enough, everything Pappy wrote is said and written exactly the way Halburn writes.

Every single one of the responding posts that pointed out that Pappy was really Mark Halburn was deleted.
Then, Sunday, he deleted everyone's posts.

Is it any wonder the Courts won't let him have any custody of his son?
This is exactly the type of self-centered, sleazy, substandard reporting we've come to expect from Mark Halburn and PutnumLive.com.

And after he posted his lies, Psycho Pappy went back and updated his profile with a pic stolen from here: http://www.aarp.org/work/working-after-retirement/info-10-2013/nonprofit-helps-veterans-learn-farming.html

He's since changed it again.

Halburn Outs Undercover Officer

Flabby Blabbermouth Publishes Name, Picture

Recently Halburn wrote a story on his attack blog about a Putnam County Deputy who was returning to the drug unit.

That story included the name and several photographs of the officer.

This is even after him bragging right here on PutnamLIES.com
on November 7, 2009,

"We don't report security plans-at the request of law enforcement. It's called not revealing the playbook to the bad guys. It's called responsible journalism.... We also don't report the names of undercover police or how many cops work certain shifts. And when some knucklehead sent me photos of the homes of Hurricane PD officers, we didn't publish them either."

If a guy is going back into an undercover drug unit, doesn't a news story kind of defeat the purpose?
Halburn might as well write, "Hey, dope dealers, here's a photo and story about this guy who's a cop."

Undercover officers don't want their picture in newspapers or online, even if they're not ID'd.
But no, here's this big feature story with a photo about this cop who's going to be sending guys from Detroit to jail. Good luck.

Way to endanger a police officer's life, Halburn.

This is just more of the irresponsible, unethical conduct that we have come to expect from PutnumLive.com and Mark Halburn.

PutnamLIES.com does not publish the names or photos of law enforcement officers that are working undercover in order to not jeopardize their lives.

We do practice responsible journalism.

Halburn Stalking Putnam County Residents

Unemployed Loser Has Plenty Of Time

He lives in a $300 a month garage apartment in Dunbar but at the end of November, Mark Vance Halburn felt the need to drive his filthy Korean sub-compact almost 20 miles to retired Judge William Watkins' neighborhood where he accosted him and shouted questions at him.

He followed Watkins walking his dog, Buddy, in his Briarwood Estates subdivision, on Saturday, November 23rd, 2013. Somehow he avoided Buddy. Halburn is well known for striking dogs with his vehicle and later finding damages.

This wasn't a casual meeting on Halburn's part. He had to specifically make the effort to drive into Watkins' subdivision and onto the cul de sac where Watkins' home is located.

Halburn stalks retired Judge William Watkins.

Two weeks later, Halburn was after another of his long time targets, Dr. Joseph Matusic, Jr., a Charleston pediatrician. Halburn stalked him to the studios of WCHS TV where the doctor appears on the Eyewitness News segment  "Baby Steps." He then proceeded to photograph the doctor's car.

Halburn then followed Matusic through the slick, snow covered streets of Charleston while negligently driving and shooting video at the same time. 

Halburn, who illegally drove until March 2013 with a South Carolina license after moving back to West Virginia in November 2012, criticizes Matusic for having an expired sticker.
The question remains: Why didn't Halburn pay to register his car like the rest of us?

Matusic previously had a restraining order against Halburn. Looks like it's time to get get back in Court and get another one.

Two words for you, motherfucker:
Castle doctrine.

 
Halburn stalks Charleston pediatrician Joseph Matusic.

Read Dr. Matusic's story here:
http://www.babymd.net/stalker.html

What we see in both videos is a lispy fat man with a video camera panting about things nobody cares about. It's like he woke up and went to his pee stained enemies notebook and picked a name.

It appears that Halburn has plenty of time to stalk productive citizens, but no time to find a job with which he could help support his 6 year old son by paying an adequate child support.
No wonder his second ex-wife divorced him.

Citizens are urged to be vigilant and report any incidents of stalking by Halburn to law enforcement. You could be next!!!

As his mental evaluation stated, “Given his degree of agitation and volatility, any threats made by Mr. Halburn should be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.”

HALBURN LEAVES FAMILY COURT IN HANDCUFFS!!!

Kelly Takes No Shit From Fatman 

On Friday, November 15th, 2013, less than 24 hours after losing his divorce appeal before the WV Supreme Court, Mark Vance Halburn was removed from Kanawha County Family Court in handcuffs on Friday morning. He was then placed in a holding cell in the Courthouse for several hours.

Mark Vance Halburn is led out of Kanawha County County Family Court in handcuffs.

Halburn gets fitted for a nice pair of silver bracelets.

Halburn titled this "Kelly Screws Up", but the screw up in this case is Halburn, not the Judge.  

In the above courtroom video, Halburn is told six times that he defied the Court's order by mailing in his required payment (Halburn calls them "illegal sanctions"). A previous court ruling ordered Halburn to deliver any payments personally to the Court because he is an untrustworthy weasel.
In a typical Halburn power play, he took it upon himself to defy the Court's order and mail in his payment.
Kelly told Halburn, "You are not going to call the shots... You are no longer going to dictate how you're going to do things".
Halburn then continued to argue with the Judge.

At that point, the Judge ordered Hallburn handcuffed and detained for contempt.

Halburn says the check he mailed was delivered the day before.
BIG FUCKING DEAL!
You were ordered to personally bring the payment to the Court, not mail it, shithead.
What part of that don't you understand?

Nobody is going to prosecute this because absolutely no law was broken. 
You defied a court order. That's contempt.
For someone who claims to be as smart as you are, this shouldn't be hard.

"Illegal sanctions?" 

No. Kelly is a judge. He's not outside the law.

You're being penalized for dragging out your divorce at great expense to your second ex-wife. Pay up you deadbeat fuck.

This is the September 10th, 2013 order restraining Mark Halburn from entering the Family Court.

This is part of the hearing where Halburn was banned from entering Family Court unless he has a hearing there.

PutnamLIES.com will have more details as they become available.

The all seeing eye never blinks.

Supremes Smack Down Halburn

Justices Reject Fatboy's Lunatic Behavior
Area man's website determined by Court to be a blog


In a not unexpected decision, The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has issued their opinion on Mark Vance Halburn's appeal of the outcome of his divorce case.

The case is referred to as Mark V. H v. D. J. M.
In cases involving sensitive facts, the Supreme Court's usual practice refers to the parties and other individuals by their initials.
We, however, will not be bound by that practice.

In a per curiam decision (a ruling that is delivered via an opinion issued in the name of the Court rather than specific judges) the Court reversed the decision made by Putnam County Circuit Judge Phillip Stowers in Halburn's original appeal granting Halburn additional visitation with his son and affirmed the original decision made by Kanawha County Family Court Judge Michael Kelly.

The Court characterized Judge Kelly's original decision as, "well-reasoned, well-documented and legally sound."

In Halburn's appeal of the original order, Stowers awarded him overnight visits and the ability to take the boy on out of state day trips. All other provisions of the original order remained unchanged.

Of course for Halburn, being Halburn, that wasn't enough. Sure, he wanted the kid, but he also wanted money. Lots of money. One million trillion dollars.
So he appealed to the Supreme Court.

Which turned out badly for him.

It's one thing to read the unhinged ramblings of a crazy man, it's another to have it on display in the courtroom. 

 Just a few highlights from the Court's opinion.

The bottom line in their ruling rested on this:
"A circuit court may not substitute its findings of fact for those of a family court judge merely because it disagrees with those findings"

and

"Both the family court and the circuit court based their findings and conclusions on the best interests of the child. “In visitation as well as custody matters, we have traditionally held paramount the best interests of the child.”

“[i]n a contest involving the custody of an infant the welfare of the child is the polar star by which the discretion of the court will be guided."

"The family court’s limitations of the Husband’s contact are amply supported by the evidence, and it was an abuse of the circuit court’s discretion to overrule the family court’s order in this regard." 
"There are many references to matters not contained in the record, including references to postings by the Husband in his Internet blog. The New Oxford American Dictionary 183 (3rd Ed. 2010) defines a blog as “a personal website or webpage on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc., on a regular basis.”

"The record also contains a number of nonsensical pleadings, including a document entitled “Order of Sanctions” authored by the Husband, in which the Husband “orders” in part that the presiding judge pay to the Husband and his son an incredible and unimaginable sum of money for various perceived wrongs to the Husband. For one such “infraction,” the Husband demands that Judge Kelly pay “one million trillion dollars” for being a “total [sic] corrupt, arroganrt [sic], incompetent jackass.” For failing to require the Wife to undergo a psychological evaluation, the Husband attempts to impose a $999 trillion per day sanction on the Wife for every day since the exam was ordered." 

"This particular document was accompanied by a document entitled “Order of Lien and Garnishment” in which the Husband attempts to encumber Judge Kelly’s home (identified by address) and attach his wages as payment of the aforesaid “Order of Sanctions.”

One of the primary reasons for Halburn's lack of custody was the results of two mental evaluations given to him.

Again, Fatlock's brilliant legal strategies come back to bite him in his fat ass.
"It was the Husband’s motion for the parties to undergo psychological testing (in this case)"

"not reveal any outward signs of psychological issues or strange behavior on the part of the Wife that would have some bearing on her parenting of the child. The Husband’s conduct throughout these proceedings, however, all viewed by Judge Kelly over a period of months, is strongly supportive of his need for such an evaluation "

Had he accepted Stowers gift and just STFU, this wouldn't have happened.
As always, Mark Halburn is Mark Halburn's worst enemy. An epic legal fail on his part.

This appeal is final and no rehearing is allowed. The case will now be sent back to the jurisdiction of the Family Court, where Halburn will make everyone's life miserable for the foreseeable future.

Read the Supreme Court's Opinion.
