Actual Court

As a follow up post to my first post:
http://sandyhookanalysis.blogspot.com/2014/12/william-shanley-files-lawsuit-alleging.html

I am now in receipt of copies of the original court documents filed by William Shanley in his trillion dollar lawsuit alleging media fraud in regards to what conspiracy theorists refer to as "Sandy Hook Hoax".

William Shanley has filed a lawsuit asking for about one TRILLION dollars (que Dr Evil laugh). Further, Shanley has the gal to file his suit and to ask the court to waive few hundred dollars in court fees! We the tax payer will be footing the bill for this hoaxer gimmick.

These documents represent a shining example of a frivolous non-suit. The  average high school government student playing "mock court" could have put together a better case.

 William Shanley has the endorsement of professors, Dr. James Fetzer and Dr. James Tracey, and is an ally of Dr. Doom (who in-between prison sentences took an online paralegal course and also fought a traffic ticket).  Shanley represents the work product of the best legal minds the hoaxers have to offer; combining resources and two years of research and bringing these to bear as their best evidence.  In other words, for all the lawsuit hype for the past several months, this is the best they could do.

These documents show you how paranoid internet conspiracy theorists prepare for Federal Court.

314 CV 01881 JAM Complaint (vs Newtown Bee et al) - Two pages of seven pages comprise the "meat" of his allegation and the sum total of his actual effort to obtain a FIVE BILLION dollar judgement. Frankly, this is just plain lazy and is not even a good faith effort.

His allegations are supported by his "best evidence", a few links to a conspiracy blogs written by James Fetzer of "Veteran's Today".

These links are not even considered by rational people on the street, let slone a court. Veteran's Today even admits most of their material is false; they don't wven believe what they write! The court will not consider the idiotic references because they do not represent first hand knowledge of the shooting by the plaintiff.

It also appears Shanley forgot to mention actual damages and he jumps straight to wanting billions in punitive damages.

Prediction: This case will be summarily dismissed without leave to amend and with prejudice.

314 CV 01929 JAM Complaint versus Time Warner, Bloomberg, Comcast, Disney, CNN, and just about every big name in media one can imagine; asking for nearly 1 trillion dollars in punitive damages without any claim of actual damages.

It is obvious the filing is hoping to rely on the court providing the plaintiff's case because the plaintiff does not present a semblance of a case; in fact his case does not address the easily searched elements of fraud.

Of the 15 pages of this complaint, most of the pages are names and addresses of defendants. Three pages comprise the heart of his case and hoaxers endeavor to obtain hundreds of billions of dollars.  Again, allegations are supported by a couple of weblinks, mostly to Veteran's Today and again not admissible. The average street corner beggar works harder to get a dollar than the Hoaxers worked to put this complaint together; and hoaxers want billions as their award.

More amazing, Stanley attached the fake "FEMA Drill" pamphlet the Sandy Hook Hoaxer group fabricated and posted to media fire. A hoaxer group fabricated the document using an available online template.  While this is obviously an attempt at fraud on the court, the document has zero relevance to the allegations of fraud, even if it were authentic.  Therefore the fake pamphlet wont be considered long enough by the court for the court to figure out some hoaxer made the document while sitting on their mom's computer.

 This is a lazy complaint and does not represent a good faith suit.   These are the types of frivolous actions clogging our courts.  Stanley failed to state a claim and as with the first it action, the claim is without merit.  And, once again Stanley claimed pauper status to get out of nominal court fees.

Prediction: This case will be summarily dismissed pretrial after no more than one hearing and dismissed without leave to amend and with prejudice.

Sandy Hook Justice Hit with another Copyright Strike

Just in case Sandy Hook Hoaxers missed it, violating copyright is a FEDERAL OFFENSE.

As Wolfgang Halbig continues to threaten everyone within earshot with lawsuits, it appears his official channel has been again slapped with a copyright strike.

This means Wolfgang Halbig's official channel is likely teetering on a LIFE TIME ban from the worlds largest video host service.

This type of activity is nothing new for the Sandy Hook Justice website; if you recall, I reported their previous copyright strikes here:

http://sandyhookanalysis.blogspot.com/2014/11/wolfgang-halbig-copyright-violation-and.html

In that case, the owner of the intellectual property fumed:

"I am getting f-ing sick and tired of people stealing my work.   Why is it necessary for them to download it and put their name on it when all they have to do is share this one if they want to get out the information??" --Mert Melfa

Thomas Lapp, Halbig's associate, became unhinged fuming back at the property owner:

Thomas LappThe youtube user Mert Melfa filed a copyright complaint against WolfgangHalbig's youtube channel for....tWhat side is he on? Is he on the side of truth? Or his he just looking to gain the spotlight? My message to him was this:
What is your problem man? I thought David Weiss got this sorted out with you. You filed a copyright strike against the official channel of WolfgangHalbig himself! 

Apparently, Lapp believes that since it's "Wolfgang", the channel has an innate right other peoples stuff.


Moreover, it appears Wolfgang's Channel did not learn the lesson from the strike since the channel is again accused uploading videos containing the intellectual property of other companies.

About one month has passed since Halbig promised his lawsuit; it appears the only thing he has produced is the possibility of getting sued himself... or worse, carried away by federal marshals in a black SUV for violating very serious federal laws.

Sandy Hook Families File Lawsuits Against Bushmaster

I wanted to put out a few words on the lawsuits that have been filed on behalf of victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy.  You can read the entire lawsuit here:
http://www.courant.com/hc-lawsuit-filed-by-sandy-hook-families-20141215-htmlstory.html

Today, families filed what many of us were fairly sure were coming, lawsuits.    Today's filings were in state court.

The lawsuits were filed on behalf of 9 deceased children and 1 surviving teacher who had been shot multiple times.  The suit is against Bushmaster, Remington Outdoor Group,  Camfour Holding, and Riverview Sales; essentially the distribution chain of the weapon used by the shooter in his attack on the school.  It seems likely there will be more lawsuits to come.   Some other claims have a three year statue of limitations.

I have several different approaches to this subject that I want to share.  I have read the lawsuit in it's entirety.


Climbing a legal Mount Everest...

When examining the legal aftermath of mass shooting, it is important to note that historically, lawsuits against entities other than the shooters estate have a very low success rate.    This is why there is no "rush to sue".  Legal teams must gather as much evidence as possible because they face an uphill legal battle; in fact, for Sandy Hook, the lawyers face the legal equivalent of Mount Everest.

After Columbine there were several lawsuits.  Obviously, the shooters families were sued and those lawsuits settled. The plaintiff's recovered.  However, families also sued the high school and the sheriff's department.

Every lawsuit filed by victims against Columbine High School and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department was dismissed, except one.

The lawsuit on behalf of the estate of Dave Sanders was allowed to proceed against the Jefferson County Sheriff's department.  Dave Sanders was the Columbine teacher that police allowed to bleed to death for several hours.  As a matter of historical fact, hours after the shooters had committed suicide, the sheriff's department still did not move to rescue Sanders.  The judge wrote " (the sheriff's department ) demonstrated a deliberate indifference towards (Dave Sanders) plight shocking to the conscience of this federal court."

At Sandy Hook, with response times measured in minutes, this would be a much tougher argument to make.

After the Virginia Tech massacre, two plaintiff's prevailed at jury trial only to be overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court. The court  held in part, that the jury misunderstood Virginia law.  Likewise, the lawsuits against the University of Alabama in Huntsville were tossed after their mass shooting.

In Aurora Colorado, the lawsuits against the theater are still proceeding.

In California, after the San Ysidro shooting, all of the law suits against McDonald's were tossed before trial.

A little less known fact is that the Nickel Mines (Amish) had zero lawsuits.  Certain hoaxers have claimed there are always lawsuits; which is untrue.  As demonstrated above, not all families sue either.

In that light, Sandy Hook is proceeding exactly as one would expect; and  the precedent is clear. 

Most recognize that the chance the Sandy Hook victims prevailing against persons other than the Lanza estate is, in general, is very low.  That said, much good can come from lawsuits.  Some could be seeking accountability. Some families could be seeking changes, some families could be seeking answers, or a combination of all of it.

Sandy Hook families face an additional hurdle because they are suing the gun manufacturer, sellers, and distributors.  A 2005 Federal law was enacted to protect these entities against just such lawsuits.  The lawsuit attempts to utilize a negligent entrustment exception to the law.

The jist of the pleading is essentially that since the AR-15 is known (and advertised as) a powerful military grade weapon system, Bushmaster (and those in the chain of distribution) knew or should have known that a civilian like Nancy Lanza should not be entrusted with that weapon; therefore, those in the chain are liable.

The Sandy Hook complaint essentially makes the argument that since the rifle is not good for hunting or self-defense; it has no civilian utility.  

In principle, I do not agree with that argument. As a matter of fact, it grates against my every fiber. The right protected by the Second Amendment is not merely the right to hunt or self defense of a home; but that is debate for another time.  

While I doubt their argument will prevail, as one who enjoys the law, I will watch the case with great interest as to what arguments get put forth.  I am certainly not "chicken little" about the results of this lawsuit.  The sky is not falling... in fact I bet gun sales jump again.

We can expect powerful pretrial motions to dismiss this entire action; of that we can be sure.

All of that said, and while one can never really know how one will react if your little child is slaughtered in their first grade classroom, I'm fairly sure that I would sue everyone I could get my lawyers to go after.  I certainly believe these families have the right to pursue this action.  

From a Sandy Hook researcher point of view...

I couldn't be more pleased.  Perhaps this is a means to getting some more information about this tragic day; as such I will review every document and exhibit I can.

Going further, just to stop hearing the hoaxers ask "why no lawsuits?" is worth something to me all by itself. Obviously, these parents have no trouble demonstrating their loss. Their trouble will be in getting around federal law to hold bushmaster accountable for their loss.  

I will confidently predict Bushmaster would never entertain any hoaxer arguments even as they incur significant legal expense; this is because hoaxer logic is absurd and irrational. Perhaps the hoaxers will end up calling Bushmaster a "shill".

At any rate, this is the next chapter. I've been waiting for this chapter and I will continue to study and analyze this situation as facts and documents become available and as more legal actions are undertaken.  

That is the purpose of this blog.  

No Wolfgang Lawsuit...

In other news; we are approaching one month since the date Wolfgang Halbig promised his monetary donors he would file a lawsuit;  Wolfgang has done absolutely nothing.  There is nothing to report on the Hoaxer Conspiracy Theorist "lawsuit" front.

We Need to Talk about Sandy Hook - DEBUNKED *Teaser

Here is a teaser for the upcoming debunking of the film "We Need to Talk about Sandy Hook".   This may soon be the most debunked Video in history; however, that is simply due to the poor research skills of the producers. I throw my hat in the ring join other debunkers; here, I destroy the "Dash Camp time stamps don't match the report" meme pushed by Hoaxers... much more to come.

Remembering Sandy Hook today, December 14, 2014

My heart is with all the families today.
My heart is with all the residents of Newtown, who still continue to suffer dearly.
My heart is with the school staff, who each day still do their jobs.
My heart is with the responders and investigative personnel.

Sandy Hook Elementary School PTA Form 990 for 2002-2013

Sandy Hook Hoax Debunked

The School was open:

Sandy Hook Elementary School PTA Form 990 for 2002-2013

While the ridiculous theory that the Sandy Hook Elementary School was closed was soundly debunked  here http://sandyhookanalysis.blogspot.com/2014/07/sandy-hook-hoax-claims-debunked.html; hoaxers still persist in their claims.  Intuitively, common sense should tell you by the countless news articles, budgets, activities, and meeting minutes, that the school was operating.

However, if you feel you have some "wiggle" room in suggesting the school was closed, let me give you some COLD HARD FACTS - numbers and money.

Pending Sandy Hook Hoaxer Qui Tam action possible.

Pending Sandy Hook Hoax
Hoaxer Qui Tam action possible.

As hoaxer Wolfgang Halbig continues to shill for money and spin his wheels, it appears one conspiracy theorist might be ready to actually move!

The word on the street is that a soverign citizen a "freeman common law legal scholar" of sorts appears to be threatening to file a "whistleblower" lawsuit known as a "Qui Tam" related to the Sandy Hook school shooting.  

Conceivably this type of "whistle blower" action could be brought against the contractors on behalf of the Tax Payer.

For example, if I put on my tin foil hat and widen my eyes, I could envision the lawsuit! In my vision, I could allege that the contractors who did the biohazard clean up in the school could not have actually cleaned up biohazards (since obviously the tens of thousands of illumanati freemason connected people involved in this vast evil conspiracy are keeping secrets!) and thus I could allege fraud!

I have no doubt that whatever is being alleged in this Qui Tam will likely be similarly patently absurd and I highly doubt the matter will be long entertained before any competent court.

A similar Qui Tam action was brought by Dr. Judy Wood related to 9-11 conspiracy theories and was summarily dismissed from beginning to end all the way up through the chain of appeals.  Therefore, historically, the chances don't very appear good for the "online scholar conspiracy theorists" Qui Tam action.

However, the Sandy Hook crew just might garner a few blogger headlines, my blog being first to grant him said favor.

In any event, I certainly believe in the right of citizens to bring such actions and no one can doubt they serve an important function in society and I wish the "freeman on the land" the best of luck and will watch with interest and sincerely can't wait to see what he put together.   More as the information becomes available.

However, that said. Allow me to introduce people to the terms Hoaxers will be receiving from the courts.

These quotes summarize the ruling crushing Judy Wood's conspiracy theorist Qui Tam, and this is the future of Hoaxer Qui Tam:
