Smile! You're Not On Churchy Camera

Area Criminal Doesn't Count On Background Check

In September Mark Halburn was shopping for a church. One where he could go in, throw his weight around, and impress everyone with how media savvy he was.

On December 10 Halburn wrote:
"The great news is I found a great church where I've joined the video crew. The bad news is that I didn't get to go, today, because they canceled services because of a sever storm forecast that ended up being moderate rain... Not a single snowflake in our area!"

On December 26 things seemed to take a turn for the worse.

Sounds like Halburn didn’t count on his new church’s “video ministry team” or whatever doing background checks like they do in real places.

Lost your papers is shorthand for "You're not going to get the job because of your background."
Most people take the hint.
He clearly failed the background check and now is demanding to know why.

And they’re just sort of ghosting him on it.

Then, on January 25th another vaguebook post. It's clear he misses Topix.

Protect My Ministry is a company that serves churches by offering national criminal database searches for volunteers and employees. If the applicant has no record, it's reported instantly. For serial offenders like Halburn the task is a little more complicated.

If there is a hit on the records, there is a 24-48 hour process of re-verification, in which the county courthouse records are updated to the national criminal database records, prior to sending results back.

Prior to sending national background results to their clients, they verify the accuracy of the information by thoroughly reviewing every positive record hit returned from the national criminal & sex offender database. These records are “frozen” for further investigation at the county courthouse.

 Records are first validated based on whether or not they positively match the applicant’s identity. This prevents false positives, which can happen when doing national database searches. They also filter out un-reportable records such as. parking tickets.

A background check can be as little as a one-county check or as in-depth as a security clearance investigation. Public and private records can be searched once the applicant gives his consent.

Typically, their turnaround time on submitted requests is typically the same day to 48 hours.

A final report from Protect My Ministry includes the following:

    Case numbers
    File Dates
    Complete description of charges
    Sentencing information
    Disposition and dates
    Cases with multiple charges will be fully explained

For Halburn, that's going to be a long list.

How shit of a person do you have to be to be turned down by a church as a volunteer? Better find another church that doesn't care about the safety of its members, fatboy.

Topix Folds

Halburn Distraught

Topix, the trailer park of the internet, suddenly closed their discussion forums Thursday.

The forums were a place Mark Halburn would anonymously attack people who he thought had wronged him. Almost always under a fake name.

Here's what users see when they go to the site now.

Halburn was notorious for his Topix attacks.

He even announced his divorce there.

He called a magistrate a slut.

He called Karen Haynes a bitch.

He posted under the name of a murdered child.

He attacked the Nazarene Church.

He attacked potential employers, businesses and government officials.

He even harassed the CEO of Topix.

All under a long list of sock puppet names he created. Because he wasn't man enough to use his real name or say it to them in person.
He wasn't fooling anyone though. The things he said, his unique style of writing, and choice of words gave him away.
Every. Single. Time.

Anything that “rules”, “rocks”, or “sux”?
That was him.
And he's an instant homer. Whatever town he's living in.

That's going to put a crimp into him anonymously attacking people.
He’s going to be crestfallen!
A strongly worded missive will follow.
Maybe he'll try and take credit and say he got them shut down because of all of the harassment.
That wouldn't surprise anyone at all.

Dismissed!

Losing Loser Loses Again

Mark Vance Halburn's case in Nicholas Co. was dismissed with prejudice today, December 4, 2018, when the fat son of a bitch failed to appear for a hearing.


 
This was nothing more than Halburn once again trying to use the legal system to harass his enemies.

Everyone involved had to hire an attorney. Think of all the money that has been wasted in this.  And that's what he wants. He wants everyone involved to spend money because they have it and he never will.

Dishwasher Douche

Appliance Asshole

How hard is it to buy a fucking dishwasher?
Exceedingly, if you're an obnoxious asshole like Mark Halburn.
On October 4 he started his newest round of complaining.

"It is sad to watch a great company self-destruct. Been a Sears customer for decades. Ordered a dishwasher and garbage disposal on 9/21 for delivery and install on 9/26. Only the disposal was delivered by a person that DEMANDED to take a picture of me holding the disposal and, literally, jammed his foot in my door, refusing to leave, until I let him take my picture. The installer and dishwasher never showed and when I called customer service, was told the dishwasher was back-ordered until 9/29. Then I was told, 9/30, then 10/1, then 10/4, then 10/5, then TBD. At one point, Sears asked me to consider a different model. I agreed, drove two-hours, round trip, to the store, only to be told THAT model was on back order. (I can't make this up!) Yesterday, an installer called me and said he was picking up the dishwasher, yesterday, oblivious to the fact that it wasn't arriving until later in the month. Despite the delays, he DEMANDED that I take off work to meet HIS scheduling convenience. When I, honestly, told him that my boss couldn't let me off, on a weekend, for a NON-emergency situation, Mr. installer got rude, "copped an attitude" and told me, "It's my company, I set MY schedule." I then got a call from a Sears rep who didn't understand his attitude and scheduling as they say it will be AT LEAST mid-October before the dishwasher will hit their warehouse. Meanwhile, I hired someone else to install the disposal, yesterday, after Sears decided that I was misquoted on the combination install price. Since Sears can't determine when the dishwasher will arrive, they cancelled my order but have YET to refund my charges. (They are saying 7-10 days!) After decades of buying clothes, appliances and photos from Sears, I am, sadly, finished with this company. Sears, you are your OWN WORST ENEMY!!! Sears is the reason that Sears is closing stores! MAYBE Sears will last 5 more years. I doubt it!"Next he goes to Best Buy.

On the 10th, he's all ready.

Four days later it's:

Then he tries Home Depot.

And apparently that didn't go to his liking either because he immediately jumped on Topix.

Lowes would have told him the exact same thing.

  

"First Sears, then Best Buy, now Home Depot fails to deliver a dishwasher!!! RETAIL FAILURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For actual fuck’s sake.

I bought a new dishwasher a few years back.  I picked it out, they brought it later in the week. It was a one time transaction.

But not Mark Halburn. He is incapable of having a normal human interaction
Everything is a huge travesty and personal affront.

This guy has now gone through THREE retailers who can't meet his stringent standards.

Halburn's Kitchen

And it turns out the reason three retailers wouldn't install a dishwasher in Halburn's kitchen was because there was no electric, plumbing or even a hole for a dishwasher.

Her believes his home warranty somehow covers this.
He's going to try to milk that thing every time something happens.
Ripping out cabinets to put in a dishwasher or something similar is not covered by home warranty.

Motherfucker, they’re installers not fucking contractors.
That’s contracting work. Not installation.
You want demolition, plumbing, and electrical, hire a contractor.

I guarantee he wasn’t honest with them to mention there was no space for  a dishwasher when he bought it .

Still Mentally Unhinged

Halburn's Vendetta Against Nazarene Church Continues

On October 1, Mark Vance Halburn, in his continuing desperation to regain custody or even visitation of his estranged son, filed suit against a laundry list of defendants.  This time in Nicholas County.

Nicholas County Courthouse in Summersville

It all goes back to his attempt to visit his son at a church camp in Nicholas County in 2017. That didn't work out so well for him and led to him being barred from seeing his son and eventually his arrest and jailing on a contempt of court charge.
It's a rehash of all of the numerous other losing appeals he has filed since his divorce was final in 2013. And all of the items have been previously decided. Res judicata.
He's just attempting to re-litigate the whole thing in a new venue.

This guy is living like a vagrant in South Carolina but he has the time to drive to Nicholas County and file this complaint. He's got a lot of nerve filing this whacko lawsuit when he's got a petit larceny charge in Dunbar hanging over him.
Oddly enough, the address he gave in the filing is in Dunbar. He hasn't lived in West Virginia since January.

He names the usual gang of suspects, his second ex-wife, the judge in his never ending family court case, the guardian ad litem assigned to the son, officials of the WV Nazarene Church, the church itself and 100 unnamed individuals who Halburn imagines have wronged him.

And it looks like he's representing himself again. A fool for a client.
Any Judge worth a grain of salt, will throw this case out on a motion to dismiss.

Lets get right to his complaint.

It's a pretty bold legal move claiming a sitting family court Judge lied. That should gain major style points with fellow judges.
The judge and the guardian ad litem have immunity so any of that is a moot point.
He was also been ordered by Judge Keller not to discuss the case and not file anything without a lawyer. Not sure how this affects that.

You know it's Halburn because there are words in all caps and lots of exclamation points scattered throughout the suit. Lawsuits filed in the Microsoft Word default font really mean business!
Plus he calls everyone names. Who does that in a legal filing but him?
How does that help if he ever wants to see his kid again?

Was the guy drunk when he drafted this?

He also must have just learned what the word triplicate means because he used it like 5 times.

Nazarene vendetta
Halburn's vendetta against the Nazarene Church may have started with his hatred of Charleston pediatrician Joseph Matusic when they attempted to locate a daycare at Teays Valley Nazarene Church. It intensified when his second ex-wife wanted to send her son to the WV Nazarene Camp in Summersville.
Now, in his paranoid mind, church officials have conspired with the judge, his second ex-wife and various other unknown and unnamed individuals in order to deprive him of his parental rights.
Note to fatboy: Crazy people don't get to keep or visit their kids.

Shiny Object
Then he serves up an affidavit from a guy at the Nicholas Health Department that he undoubtedly went and browbeat the guy into signing.

Halburn hangs his hat on the statement:
"I did not observe Mr. Halburn taking photographs of the building."
He obviously stopped reading there.

Because the next sentence is the real payoff:
"However, I was not in the company of Mr. Halburn during the ten-minute inspection period, so I can attest to neither Mr. Halburn's whereabouts or actions during that time."
It’s like the fat bastard didn’t even read that sentence. Because of course he didn’t.The last sentence basically negates the whole affidavit.
All Halburn sees is the guy saying he never entered the building. Shiny object.

He also demands that ownership of the Nazarene Camp must permanently be given to him and all expenses, operating costs, staff and manager costs, maintenance and mortgages related to the camp must be paid by the Nazarene Church.

He's also asking for the Court to grant him full custody of his son, which is something the Nicholas County Court has zero control over.  Plus , he wants his second ex-wife to pay HIM child support and repay the paltry amount ($177 per month) he has been forced by the court to contribute toward his son's support.

Damages

Halburn demands that all parties must each be ordered to, immediately, pay $1 trillion in compensatory damages, $10 trillion in punitive damages and $1 trillion, trillion in damages for violating his civil rights.

Even this much is not enough for Halburn's greed.

And if that's not enough, the greedy bastard demands that Judge Keller pay triple that!
He's also asking for Keller to be permanently imprisoned.
This is comedy of the highest grade. This guy takes the cake, hands down.

Dead mother
Halburn has said and done a lot of crazy things.
But the craziest is his ongoing demand that the court revive the cremated corpse of his mother almost six years after her death.

Halburn's mom was not available for comment

 
And now he's brought it up again.

"Therefore, this court must order my second ex-wife, Mike Kelly and Patricia Keller to put Mark and (the son) on a charter jet, immediately, upon receipt of this filing, for a final visit. Whatever extraordinary means that my second ex-wife, Kelly and Keller must undertake to make Nancy Halburn available for the final visit are the problems of my second ex-wife, Kelly and Keller and must be paid for at their expense!"
Hmmm. Yeah. Not crazy at all. Not. At. All.

The parties who are named have 20 days after service to respond, assuming he’s served anyone with the complaint.  A real lawyer uses a process server, but he doesn’t have the money.  In the past he's gotten his drunk, child beating buddy or his child molesting pal to do it.

Someone should move for sanctions for even having to respond to his nonsense. In some situations if a party is penniless, or if they frequently file frivolous suits, those sanctions can mean jail time.

It’ll be fun to see what happens, especially what the family court judge (who has 100% immunity) does. This guy’s never going to see his kid again.
Keller could very well throw him back in jail again for filing this without a lawyer. Especially since it's things that she's already ruled on.
Our understanding is the clock starts over again on the 18 months visitation ban with his son if he violates her order.

This lawsuit just demonstrates that he is the most deranged he’s ever been.  At this point, it’s literally just him using all caps, calling names, and asking for a million trillion dollars because of a personal vendetta with the Nazarene Church.

Halburn has never been self aware but this time it’s just too much. He’s too blind to realize this is doing to do big time damage to him ever seeing his kid again.

He is his own worst enemy. And he can't see that.
The weekly counseling he was ordered to get for the Matusic case doesn't seem to be helping.

PutnamLIES.com will have more on this story as it develops.

Pet Patrol

Halburn Hauls Hound Home

Yesterday Halburn had to brag to his audience of sycophants and disaffected dads:

It's a dog, asshole. Not a "fur person."
You're not even fit to be around your "son person" and you're getting a dog?
You're a real animal lover aren't you, shitbag?

"El Oroso"

You treated your last dog so well.
Everyone who drove through the Walmart parking lot had to avoid hitting him because you let him run loose all the time.
It's the same dog that you abandoned after your second ex-wife threw you out of her house and you moved to South Carolina.

You're just like one of these bums you see on the street with a dog. Can't take care of yourself , but you're hauling a dog around.

"Jazzy"

Rescuing a dog from a shelter doesn’t make you a saint. It doesn’t even make you an OK guy.
People do it every day.
This is just another cynical effort by Halburn to make himself look like a normal person. It won't work.

How long before you discard this one, fatass?

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.
