Chuck Johnson’s Petition to Sue Gawker Media

He’s going to try to sue Gawker in … Missouri?
Humor • Views: 57,008

Believe it or else, Chuck Johnson appears to be going through with his numerous threats to sue Gawker Media and several of their writers individually. Here’s a document leaked by someone (can you guess who might do this?) that lays out this laughable case. I hope you’re not drinking anything while you read this, but he’s asking the court to award him $20 million dollars from Gawker.

Note that it says he’s going to try to file this suit in Missouri, even though Missouri clearly doesn’t have jurisdiction over a case like this.

Warning: this document is extremely defamatory to Chuck C. Johnson. Read at your own risk.

Gawker doesn’t seem too worried.

And by the way — Chuck Johnson also told the Daily Caller today that he’s planning to sue Little Green Footballs and Politico as well. Oh, and CNN and Carol Costello too. So LGF is in pretty good company here.

Reading that paper is kind of amazing. Trying to get standing by randomly making reference to “people in MO” reading the Gawker stuff. And how it is written is just blow you away stupid.

It’s kind of amazing how bad it is.

No, it just needs a teacher to go over it with a red ink pen, marking all the fuck-ups and saying things like “See me after class.”

If he’s basing standing on people reading it, he’d have had a better chance in the UK (although they would likely laugh him out of the Old Bay). Here? Stick a fork in it.

If you don’t mind though regarding the shooting in Charleston last night, I think Roof definitely researched the church and was aware of its history considering that he had knowledge of the Rhodesian regime.

Step 1: File to remove case from Missouri to California, as CCJ and his company were, at all times relevant to the allegations at hand, primarily doing business in California.

Step 2: Pursuant to CAL. CCP. CODE § 425.16, defendants Gawker Media, LGF, et seq., file a special motion to strike.

Step 3: Judge takes a look at CCJ’s pleading papers.

Step 4: Judge laughs until he wets his robe.

Step 5: Judge dismisses CCJ’s case with prejudice and awards attorneys fees to defendants. Multiple defendants+complex case=treble damages. Judge additionally awards sanctions against CCJ.

Step 6: CCJ audibly projectile-shits on floor of courtroom.

Step 7: Defendants file motion to seize all assets & chattels, freeze all accounts. Granted.

(time lapse for Sheriffs to evict CCJ and Hot Asian Wife as movers carry everything out of house)

Step 8: CCJ seen pushing shopping cart full of Calvin Coolidge dolls around the streets of Fresno, twitching and talking to himself.

He may indeed be that delusional. Personally, I think once Gawker files to remove this to Federal Court, there’s going to be a Come To Jesus talk by someone (mayhap one of the RWNJs who has legal experience & hasn’t snapped their tether to reality) to CCJ, featuring a brief discourse on All The Awful Things That Happen Next.

Been in the room when that talk has been given to delusional litigants. Always hard to keep a straight face. Afterwards, there is usually much highing of fives amongst the associates in the firm.

I’d like to see video of the moment CCJ realizes he needs to argue that he’s not a public figure in court to have any chance at all of prevailing. His ego won’t like that at all.

Irony in the name of the firm, I’d say. “Burns”. Rest assured that if the Rage Furby decides to serve our Lizard in Chief, not only will the denizens spin up a campaign we’ll attempt to retain 1st Amendment badass Marc Randazza to teach CCJ a lesson-the 1st Amendment isn’t as absolute as you think it is.

I was not familiar with the dude in the video, Paul Joseph Watson. So I did a search and found this article at Info Wars.

I’m not going to link it for reasons, if anyone wants to see it, then do a Google search on Watson and it is currently at the top of the page.

ANGEL SOFT AD WHICH DISPARAGES FATHERS GETS HUGE NEGATIVE BACKLASH
“Happy Father’s Day, Mom” commercial stokes boycott threats

An ad for Angel Soft toilet paper entitled Happy Father’s Day, Mom, which many assert disparages men, has received a huge backlash despite many leftist media outlets praising the commercial.

It is always fun to see a Koch product commercial get labeled a good thing for leftists.

Other papers: The Chicago Tribune is all about the Stanley Cup (party time!), the Boston Globe mentions it on the front page (but it’s below the fold and has no photo)…

The Denver Post and Boston Herald got it right, but I by then I’d gotten disgusted and quit looking. WTF, America? Way to let people know you care. //

Oh, and how about Charleston’s local paper, the Post and Courier putting a sticker advertising deals at a gun shop on their front page along with news about the attack? Yeah, they apologized, but WTFF??

I’m assuming that the deadlines for the print version of the next day’s paper are well after 9pm ET, when the attack started. Even if they aren’t, why in the hell isn’t something like this a “stop the presses!” event?

They might not have had time to prepare a story before they went to press. Stuff has to get to the printer, printed, and delivered within in a certain time. And when the story broke, there wasn’t a lot of information available.

I hadn’t read this earlier. This is chilling:

A cousin of Mr. Pinckney who had spoken to a witness, Sylvia Johnson, told NBC that the gunman entered the church, asked for the pastor and sat next to him during Bible study before opening fire. “I have to do it,” he said, according to Ms. Johnson. “You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.” The shooting was being investigated as a hate crime. nytimes.com

85 weave  Jun 18, 2015 3:44:08pm

As previously mentioned, I work for a Black church. We just got an alert from “Christian Emergency Network.” They are referring to it as an attack on Christians and never mention race.

Last night, the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina opened their doors during their routine Wednesday evening prayer time to someone with a troubled background. This individual was estranged from his family and was also known to law enforcement for a history of drug abuse, trespassing, and other offenses.

and…

There has been an increased incitement to violence within our culture today. When the Church opens their doors to people who have unstable backgrounds the Church may be putting their congregants in harm’s way. As persecution around the world increases the Church becomes an even more vulnerable “soft target” according to law enforcement. Churches must take responsibility for their own security while working with law enforcement to mitigate their community risks. CEN will show you how your church can do this effectively.

Back in the good ol’ days - yeah, it woulda been done. Problem is: it costs money. Current owners are the Tribune Company (aka the Chicago Cubs dorks), and they won’t buy a gumball to improve the content. They’re even selling the LA Times building so they can take the cash, and then force the paper to rent back their own offices from the fucking crooks.

Nobody thought things could get worse after Sam Zell (aka “The Grave Dancer”) bought the Times by stealing the employees pension fund & using it to leverage his loans. They were wrong.

You nailed it. Newspaper isn’t quite dead, but it’s been bleeding dollars for years. Several of my friends in newspaper advertising, at 2 different agencies, recently lost their jobs after 10-20 years of hard work.

I moved to a totally different field about 5 years ago, because I knew I couldn’t make a living in newspaper forever. I didn’t even look at newspaper agencies when seeking a new job, even though that was my background.

Video killed the radio star, and the Internet is killing print media.

So I just found out that the reason they can’t take the Confederate flag above the SC statehouse down to half-staff is because it’s not on a pulley, it’s fixed. And under state law, any flags approved by the state legislature to be up there can only be removed to be replaced unless a vote is held to take it down. In other words, they’d have to take a vote just to take the damned thing down.

Someone help me out if I read this wrong (it’s very short - see link below).

Mr. Burns (yeessssss?) uses State ex rel. Selimanovic v. Dierker on page 2 of this petition for a jury trial for Chucky v Gawker, yet if you read the case law - which, btw, is for legal malpractice (Oh, Irony! You sly dog!) - for a wrongful change of venue, holding that the venue should not have been allowed to be changed by the court because of where the tort “injury” (or “trauma or exposure occurred”) first happened.

How on earth that applies to Johnson v Gawker for proper venue? Is there proof that the first person reading the Gawker article lived in MO? Is this what his attorney is claiming?

The ongoing bitch and moan about people commenting on the Gawker article absolutely crack me up. It’s all…”MOM! THEY’RE SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT MEEEEEEEEE!”

In Trotter First, a number of anonymous, non-initiating content creators defamed, falsely portrayed, and injured Plaintiffs.

Shortly after the initial section of Trotter First was published on gawker.com, several of such anonymous content creators published defamatory content on Trotter First.

One such anonymous content creator, “Cmcalumna,” claimed to have attended college with Johnson. Cmcalumna published false information about Johnson on Trotter First, cast him in a false light, and injured Johnson by stating as a matter of fact that Johnson publicly defecated in either the hallway or elevator of his dormitory in college.

Defendant Trotter incited and solicited additional false, injurious and defamatory comments from Cmcalumna as well as other content creators on Trotter First.

Some anonymous content creators begged Defendant Trotter to write an article about the defamatory matters discussed by Cmcalumna, but Trotter informed the individual that Defendant Howard had already written, and initiated/published, on or about the afternoon of December 9, 2014, a stand-alone writing on deadspin.com, entitled, “Wait, Did Clowntroll Blogger Chuck Johnson Shit On The Floor One Time?” (hereafter, “Howard First”).

Prior to Defendant Howard publishing Howard First, Plaintiff Johnson emailed Defendant Howard and categorically denied that incident that was the basis for the article’s title ever occurred.

In Howard First, Defendant Howard also created content amongst other non-initiating content-creators, soliciting information from them as well as adopting and advertising defamatory content published by
Cmcalumna on the Trotter First website, encouraging other readers and content creators to view the defamatory statements by hyperlinking to
Cmcalumna’s published content. (“I’ll tell you what. There is some good-ass kinja to be had re: Chuck shitting on the floor one time over at Gawker [hyperlink inserted into the text]”).

Seriously, way too funny.

Display at South Carolina’s state capitol[edit]

The South Carolina State House, site of the 2000 controversy
On April 12, 2000, the South Carolina State Senate passed a bill to remove the Confederate flag from the top of the State House dome by a majority vote of 36 to 7. Originally placed there in 1961,[45] “the new bill specified that a more traditional version of the battle flag would be flown in front of the Capitol next to a monument honoring fallen Confederate soldiers”. The bill also passed the state’s House of Representatives, but not without some difficulty. On May 18, 2000, after the bill was modified to ensure that the height of the flag’s new pole would be 30 feet (9 m),[why?] it was passed by a majority of 66 to 43. Governor Jim Hodges signed the bill into law five days later after it passed the state Senate. On July 1, 2000 the flag was removed from atop the State House by two students (one white and one black) from The Citadel, and placed on a monument on the front lawn of the capitol. Current state law prohibits the flag’s removal from the State House grounds without additional legislation.

It’s a statement to me that the government flying that flag is not united with the other states of America, that people owning and abusing humans is a legitimate culture in today’s world.

The message I get from that flag on an old pickup truck is one thing. Bad enough already. The message given by that same flag at a state capitol is a declaration these United States of America should not exist. That our serving president could or should be shackled to unpaid slave labor.

If Arizona could lose the Superbowl over gay rights, why can’t southern states that proudly fly the wrong damned flag be similarly shunned by pro sports and corporations? Should they not be held literally accountable?

LMAO!

Discussing a rumor (“Rumor 1: Johnson shit on the floor in college”), Defendant Trotter then reported that two of Johnson’s college classmates, writing anonymously on Gawker, had stated as a matter of fact that Johnson had defecated publicly at college. Trotter then purported to quote from, and hyperlinked to, various publications on Trotter First by two anonymous, non-initiating content-creators: Cmcalumna and ChekhovsGum(ItsGonnaPop!)

However, Defendant Trotter acknowledged that ChekhovsGum(ItsGonnaPop!) did not make such a statement about public defecation actually occurring. Rather, ChekhovsGum(ItsGonnaPop!) stated that while some person did in fact defecate in the dormitory, several years ago, it was not Johnson, and that any attribution to Johnson was out of extreme spite.

So…which anonymous, non-initiating content-creator are you going to believe? Huh? HUH?

I so wish Lawhawk was here. His take would be priceless.

I feel like part of what we are watching is the end result of a culture that encourages an attitude of entitlement towards firearm ownership with no restrictions whatsoever.* If the law disagrees with that, well, that law is for other people. Real criminals. People with real mental illnesses.

I don’t know how to fix this. I’m not certain, right now, that there is a way to fix it.

I got a good whiff of that attitude earlier. A wingnut declared to me that “shall not be infringed” means anything goes with gun ownership. When I asked if that meant he believes we can own whatever we like, he agreed it did. Then I asked if he believed criminals and the mentally ill could own guns, at which point he decided that the problem is we couldn’t keep those people locked up.

re: #161 klys (maker of Silmarils)

The second amendment has been perverted by people who make mountains of money selling firearms. My reading of it is that the state cannot infringe on well-regulated militias, which, duh, militias are armed so the state cannot infringe on those well-regulated militias’ arms. The perverted reading comes when individuals are declaring themselves well-regulated militias and arm themselves to the teeth, burying caches of ammunition in their backyards. An absolutist reading of the second amendment would say that I am a militia and I can procure shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles because of the second amendment.

The text is outdated. And over 200 years of different readings of the text, this is what we’ve come to. 11,000 (I don’t know, is it more these days?) gun deaths a year and something on the order of 300 million guns floating around in the United States.

The original intent - if we are to play literalist for a minute - was to ensure that an event like the Revolutionary War, which sprang from farmers and woodsmen forming organized militias with their home arms, could be re-enacted should a tyrannical government come into play. The problem here is that a hypothetical tyrannical government would control military power of such unfathomable magnitude that it is unrealistic to expect a “home militia” of armed citizen-soldiers to be able to overcome it. I agree that the Second Amendment, as written, is outdated. I do think that there is nothing wrong with properly regulated gun ownership, but this whole ANYTHING GOES BECAUSE SECOND AMENDMENT has got to stop. Even the so-called “literalists” have gotten away from the literal meaning of the text.

I think it’s more than being complacent. We don’t all get what we “deserve” whatever that may be. I did exactly nothing to deserve being born into a happy, financially secure family in the US in the second half of the 20th century, while someone else was born to a single mother in a village in Africa.

Governor Charlie Baker apologized on Thursday for remarks he made earlier in the day defending the rights of state capitols to fly the Confederate flag, initially calling it a matter of “tradition.”

Baker said in an early-afternoon radio interview that states should be entitled to decide whether to fly the Confederate flag at their capitols, laying out a brief argument for local government. But he later backtracked and said he believed the controversial symbol should be removed.

In a telephone interview on Thursday evening, Baker said he had “heard from some friends of mine.” Their message, he said: “Basically: What were you thinking?”

“I take my job as governor of 100 percent of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts very seriously, and as I said, I’m sorry if I didn’t do a particularly good job representing that today,” Baker told the Globe on the Thursday evening call arranged hastily by aides.

I’ve always thought the intent was that if the Federal govt (from ill-will or negligence) wasn’t properly protecting the citizenry from bears and Indians and Canadians… the States or Cities could have their own militias to do the job.

Also, back in those days, 80% of the population legitimately hunted food and had to protect their livestock from wolves and cougars.
