Someone requested this back up!

Sorry I'v e not been able to do much since I had a family member involved in an accident recently and have been taking care of them.  Things are improving should be back soon.

Joe and the FED

Joe claims that a Federal agent is coming in on his own time and going thru his computer and finding out every name of the people who have made death threats to him and his family.  Strange just the other day he was sharing all these sites they could use to cloak their identity and fool the blocks on the servers when he was blocked by the City.  In my past career I have done some computer crime investigations.  The first problem is the fact that if they came thru blogger he has NO WAY to trace them.  Google would have some IP information but if they ran thru a proxy then good luck.  Now if they did email him directly there is a chance to trace the IP but then you have to get the service provider to release the personal information, which will take a judges involvement.  I wish he would stick to blowing the cigar smoke and a lot more of it.

Here is where you can answer Joe's challenge

OK, let's try this out for size instead. 
BESIDES the Paramedics, tell me ALL the lives Salisbury Firefighters have saved from a FIRE here in Salisbury over the past 50 years. 
This should be good! Tell us what kind of structure fire it was too. This way we can ALL look at the MILLIONS of dollars worth of equipment spent in the past 50 years and see what's what.

Joey thinks there has never been any lives saved in a fire in the last 50 years.  I hope he knows the Records well because all 3 generations have saved lives in the last 50 years.  Anyone want to put examples up about can here.  I would like to add auto extractions where those million dollar tools weren't needed. 

Public Figure

From lectlaw.com:

PUBLIC FIGURE - A term usually used in the context of libel and defamation actions where the standards of proof are higher if the party claiming defamation is a public figure and therefore has to prove defamatory statements were made with actual malice. Harte-Hanks Communications v. Connaughton (1989) 491 U.S. 657, 666-668.

The "public figure" issue is not cut and dried. To begin with, a fairly high threshold of public activity is necessary to elevate a person to public figure status, Brown v. Kelly Broadcasting Co. (1989) 48 Cal.3d 711, 745, and, as to those who are not pervasively involved in public affairs, they must have "thrust themselves to the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved" to be considered a "limited purpose" public figure. Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974) 418 U.S. 323, 345.

A "particularized determination" is required to decide whether a person is a limited purpose public figure, Bruno & Stillman, Inc. v. Globe Newspaper Co. (1st Cir. 1980) 633 F.2d 583, 589, a standard ensuring that reasonable minds may differ on this subject.

Advertisements themselves are not usually sufficient to transform someone into a public figure. Vegod Corp. v. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. (1979) 25 Cal.3d 763, 770 [a person in the business world advertising his wares does not necessarily become part of an existing public controversy]; Rancho La Costa, Inc. v. Superior Court (1980) 106 Cal.App.3d 646, 661 [advertising is not thrusting oneself into the vortex of a controversy].

From legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com:

A description applied in Libel and Slander actions, as well as in those alleging invasion of privacy, to anyone who has gained prominence in the community as a result of his or her name or exploits, whether willingly or unwillingly.

If a plaintiff in a libel or slander action qualifies as a public figure, he or she must show that the libelous or slanderous conduct of the defendant was motivated out of actual malice as required in the case of new york times co. v. sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S.Ct. 710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686 (1964).

public figure n. in the law of defamation (libel and slander), a personage of great public interest or familiarity like a government official, politician, celebrity, business leader, movie star, or sports hero. Incorrect harmful statements published about a public figure cannot be the basis of a lawsuit for defamation unless there is proof that the writer or publisher intentionally defamed the person with malice (hate).

The Request from Ruark

For all the unknowing ones like Two Sentz, the email was sent to Joe and me.  I have been communicating via email with him in working on a way to make this work for a long time.  He relied on me to get it to the other anti-albero bloggers, sorry you weren't on my email list since you went to post anonymously on his site.  Didn't he say all of his contributors use their names.  Please stop the bleeding, he has more anonymous posters then true named ones.  How about everyone turn anonymous off and if someone really wants to make a comment they will take the few minutes to set up an account.  Sorry to disappoint you all that it wasn't someone else.  Joe knows who has whose number.  He just can't give up all those false comments that drives his numbers up.  There is word that some of those falsely accused under him since he moderates his comments are lawyering up with a good libel counselor.  I have all the files they need for court on disc since he likes to make posts that get him into hot water disappear.  So when he's ready to get off his high horse and be a man and work for the better of the community not Joe.

A mishap on Joe's site I missed but Some didn't

Sorry to be off subject, but did you see what Joe did earlier today? It was sooooo funny. Someone put up posts kissing up to Joey and his fabulous blog, and praising Campbell, Ireton and Chaney. All day Joe was allowing posts that linked those three puppets to Joe. His ego got in the way and Joe thought he had a fan for a few hours!

Anyway, Ireton must have called him later and told Joe to take down the posts linking Joe to the 3 puppets! He took it down and accused anti-Albero bloggers of trying to mess them up.

Question: if they love Joe, and Joe loves them, why not use sbynews to spread the love?
Answer: Cuz just like the Grapevines said, sbynewd is a political liability and even Campbell, Ireton, and Chaney know that they don't want the public connection! They just want to use Joey privately to do their defamation dirtywork.

Game, set, match, Joey! Hey Debbie, Jim, and Tim: you can't delete this post!

Sorrow is Sorry

PRESS RELEASE

January 22, 2009

Today, a Salisbury man pled guilty to robbing a local convenience store.

 Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Montemuro says on June 30, 2008, 34-year-old Billy Sorrow and a co-defendant walked into the Royal Farms Store on South Division Street in Salisbury, with stockings on their faces.  Sorrow then held his hand under his shirt as if he had a gun and ordered the store clerks to “get down.”  Montemuro says Sorrow and his accomplice then removed two cash drawers from the store and fled. 

 Today, Sorrow pled guilty to robbery and Wicomico County Circuit Court Judge Donald Davis sentenced Sorrow to 15 years in the Division of Correction, suspend all but 8 years.  Upon release Sorrow will have 18 months of supervised probation.  This is not the first criminal conviction for Sorrow.

 The State’s Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Salisbury Police Department, especially Officer Eric Baker and Sergeant Hazel Beauchamp for their tremendous police work in this case.

LPN Steals from Patients

PRESS RELEASE

January 22, 2009

 This morning, a Licensed Practical Nurse at a Salisbury retirement community pled guilty to stealing the identity of three elderly patients.  At least one patient had Alzheimer’s disease and at least one patient has died since the thefts. 

 Twenty-seven-year-old Tara Campbell, from Crisfield, pled guilty to one count of theft scheme over $500 and two counts of theft under $500 in Wicomico Circuit Court.  Judge Donald Davis sentenced Campbell to 15 years in the Division of Correction, suspend all but 5 years with 5 years supervised probation upon release.  Campbell was also ordered to pay back the stolen money as a condition of her probation. 

 Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Montemuro says while Campbell was an LPN at Mallard Landing between October 2007 and January 2008, she stole identifying information from three elderly patients.  Montemuro says Campbell used their identities to apply for credit cards in the patients’ names.  Montemuro says Campbell then charged more than $8,000.00 on these credit cards.

 Montemuro says the judge went beyond the sentencing guidelines because Campbell had prior theft convictions, she preyed upon the most vulnerable of victims, and she executed a well thought out scheme.

 The State’s Attorney’s Office would like to thank former Detective Dana Peterson of the Salisbury Police Department and Trooper First Class Sabrina Metzger of the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation for their exhaustive investigation in this case.

Narcissus Expands at 300 W Main St

It's time to get real! Now that we have a new President, it's time Americans express their concerns. Let's just say that President Obama comes to Salisbury News like the Governor of Maryland regularly does. What would YOU like him to know? What are your greatest concerns?

Also, do you think President Obama will shock Americans with anything big today?

Hello People, can you say he REALLY THINKS HIGHLY of himself.  Where is the proof that President Obama is visiting his site?  Has he called Joe, text him from his blackberry, or sent an email from oval office.  How does he carry such an inflated head around and not float away with the wind and aroma of his beloved WWTP?

Praise to Mr. Stevenson and Gang

Joe praises the city code enforcement and police department for cleaning up the "mess" under the Rt. 13 overpass across the railroad tracks. Hypocrisy at its best.  First his property in Pittsville (see Salisbury Grinch for photos) looks no better then there.  Second he promotes HALO but approves of the removal of the homeless from their shelter.  Third when has he been down there so many times to take pictures?  He is to afraid of his own shadow in the bathroom to venture into the homeless area with out being asked.  They would of rolled him over in a New York minute.  Is there a county version of Mr. Stevenson that we could have work on Joe's property?

Acolytes Jumping Ship

Check out today's video word from the Salisbury Grinch and read this:

"You are a liar and you know it. There is no connection at all and I hope he sues you. He WAS a contributor to the Salisbury Grinch who YOU had as a contributor as well. That site contains no foul language and no attacks on your family. He simply attacks your character which after this post I feel is completely warranted. 
I know you won't post this as you are only compelled to further your own agenda. But I thought you should know that as a prior "Kool aid drinker", you now make me sick." 

The acolytes are rebelling and realizing what trash he really is.  This is in response of Joe's next victim for Debbie Campbell, Mr. Muir Boda.  Muir you are the lucking recipient of the Joe Bulls Eye.  Fear not the mental midget can only do so much.  Welcome to the club, I have heard from VERY RELIABLE SOURCES that I'm his number one.  I offer to you and any other candidate, a place to comment freely in an open forum.  Yes even you Mrs. Campbell.
