re: #156 Killgore Trout

Although I believe that Brandon Darby is a borderline dirtbag, I agree that a recording of a recording of a recording of a phone call is incredibly weak evidence against either Darby or (at Patterico’s assertion) Ron Brynaert. The accusations revolve around the whole Weinergate thing and Darby being behind the swating doesn’t account for the Mike Stack episode or the false statements by Kimberlin that he was SWATed too. It seems to me that someone who likes Weiner a hair too much was behind the SWATs but I still don’t see any real evidence linking Kimberlin to any of it. The SWATing and the lawsuits could be 2 completely unrelated issues. Both bad, neither a right/left issue IMO, but not necessarily linked.

OTOH, Calling Kimberlin a crazy, threatening, lying nutjob isn’t hyperbole and anyone that intentionally associates with him is tainted. He has a decades long record of filing hundreds of frivolous lawsuits against people who piss him off for the smallest of slights culminating in the Aaron Walker arrest. That’s despicable behavior but it doesn’t rise to the level of trying to get someone taken out by their local PD.
