  “It’s just terrifying. It’s very scary. It’s speculation, but I would say it was the work of a disgruntled person,” said Reno Justice of the Peace Harold Albright, a friend of Weller’s.
  Ya think? Man, these people are geniuses!

  “Family court judges take people’s children away and take property away. Those are such basic decisions that are very emotional.”
  Um, Exlax, not people’s. FATHER’s.

  Too bad this doesn’t happen more often.

  This scumbag posing as a Judge apparently wasn’t well liked. Read what people have to say about him on this blog:

  http://www.legalreader.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-discuss.cgi?entry_id=1590

  Just another Butt Monkey to do the bidding of the lawyers that anointed him.

  Mr. Weller received summary judgement.

  It is a shame that the vast majority of Americans fail to comprehend the absolute corruption that permeates our legal system. Pay to play is the norm and not the exception in this country. That is why bribery cases are so few and far between now. You have to be an absolute moron or a desparate addict to be caught.

  The fact that judges have immunity from prosecution is criminal and a complete farce.

  These scumbag judges act under the color of law knowingly violating the Constitutional rights of the litigants. Only when someone becomes completely despondent that they take the law into their own hands and serve justice on their tormenters.

  Where are the dirty police who knew that this judge was openly corrupt? Why didn’t they turn him in? Who would they turn him into? Crooked Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez?

  I feel for the non-custodial parent. He should have never been pushed, that far. You know I started Paralegal school in October 2005 because, my boyfriend had been in and out of the courts so much; I wanted to gain knowledge for myself and plus law is something I believed in. This last hearing his ex wife filed a motion to enforce on child support right before his daughters 18th birthday. The first hearing the judge said “This case would make a good question on the bar examine. The arrears were really screwed up nobody not even the OAG knew the right amount he owed. His child support was suppose to be decreased after he started paying on a second child. It never did. She had him in and out of court from 91 to 96 plus, kept him from seeing his daughter for 10 years because of false accusations. In the mean time I was drugged through this because, I own a small business and he and her attorney were accusing me of hiding money for him. Even though, I am not married to him, I had to appear for a deposition relating to my so called business, which allowed her attorney to go on a fishing expedition even though, the judge said other wise. I lost my job, his ex wife and husband came to my house and took pictures of my tangible items(which isn’t much) and Brian caught her husband standing below our deck trying to take pictures of the inside of my house. When he seen Brian he ran. However, the last hearing before the final hearing his mom, dad, and I had to appear also because, we were subpeonaed. Before, we went to lunch we seen her attorney hugging the judges wife and thought that was kind of strange. When we came back from lunch right before I was suppose to testify the judge threw out anything from 2000 until now because, they was no proof of the amount Brian was suppose to pay. I had to go through all of that just for the judge, to tell her attorney I was irrelevant and he was not going to let him ask me questions. The judge, should of signed the protective order and the papers to Quash the subpeona. Well I was allowed back in the court room just in time to hear the judges ruling. Guess what? The judge ruled on what her attorney wanted Brian to pay. 200.00 more in child support which makes that 503.00 a month plus his other 2 kids and 150.00 a month for her attorney fees of 11,500.00. hmm you would think the judge and the attorney had lunch together that day. After all this comes out of his check he might have 100.00 left for the month. On top of that at the first hearing the judge waived 16,000.00 in arrears and both sides agreed and at the last hearing he reentered it back in 6 months later. Now how does a judge get away with that? When Brians attorney told the judge last week at the final hearing that Brian could not afford that much a month the judge said we could modify the order (that has wrong dates of arrears listed the judge signed), since he has paid what he ordered he wasn’t going to change it. So, if he didn’t pay it he would have been thrown in jail and if he pays it the judge will not reduce it. That is one-sided if you ask me. I hope somebody hears our cries for help we have less than 3 weeks to file an appeal and can not afford any more attorney fees. I think the state bar of every state needs to go in and watch these attorneys and judges break the law and clean house. The bar should go under cover. I once believed in the law until greed took it over. All attorneys do anymore is worry when they are going to get paid. We paid our attorney just to stand there and look stupid. I seen the greed in him to. Whatever happened to standing up for what we believe in and our Constitution?

  There’s only one wat to stop this nonsense! Stop paying!

• 6 mikevac // Jun 13, 2006 at 4:56 pm

  The harder the courts pushes people the harder they will push back. This bastard judge lived - this time. Next time he will not be that lucky. And there will be a next time because he is a bigot. Eventually, he’ll push another person to the brink and they will kill him. Unfortunately, this is the only way a victim of this the family court can get justice - by killing the judge.

• 7 anothervoice // Jun 13, 2006 at 5:31 pm

  This judge all like him get absolutely no sympathy from me. Here’s a solution: Have judges in family court (now there’s a contradiction in terms) only limited to five year terms and and for every complaint against them such as violating someone’s due process because it helps the custodial parent then they aren’t allowed to work for a year; hey, better yet, sned the jackass/bitch to jail for three months for each and every violation accrued to be run consequetively. Then maybe they won’t be so eagar to assholes.

• 8 buddyhyatt // Jun 13, 2006 at 7:00 pm

  I do not condone this type of retaliation. However “you reap what you sow” and evidently this judge had it coming. I am in this very situation in Tennessee. I am paying $1005 per month to the child’s mother whom I was not married to, while she does not work but fishes and hunts 10 to 18 days per month. (Yes she’s a lesbian now.) All the while I have the child more than half the time??? I am being rail roaded as we speak. I will fight it tooth and nail until it is settled fairly. I will not however shoot the judge. God’s vengeance will be much worse than anything I could do.

• 9 WarriorPoet // Jun 13, 2006 at 11:46 pm

  I am a bit perplexed by so many peoples ‘absolution’ of this guy shooting this man. He may or may not have been a good judge but in no way is assassinating him justifiable. More sadly is the media response to this. As always they ignore the cause and source for real examination and promote a ‘men are all violent to kids and mothers too’ rally cry from the opposition. Unfortunately ‘hate’ and ‘justifiable’ commentary above may help relieve the poster of frustration with the system but are closely followed and reported on by the opposition. These type of postings are every bit has dangerous to any goals of shared parenting as they provide other misguided forces with ‘proof’ of their ‘claims’. As if all NCP’s feel as a few extremely abused do. Others, just as abused, choose to focus on the facts and rational not the rhetoric, propoganda or hysteria.

  I personally hope this judge recovers and if indeed he was (if he was) corrupt under the color of law he would feel it as a personal goal to look more fairly in the REAL’best interest’ of the child or children and families involved.

  Just my two cents for what is worth.

• 10 Jim Deeny // Jun 14, 2006 at 3:22 am

  Of course it’s not justifiable. I don’t think it’s absolution WarriorPoet, but rather it’s “I told you do” Or “it’s been in the making”. People have been telling people that this type of thing is going to happen. Men have snapped over the system and have lossed everything and have gone to extreme ways of veangance.

• 11 Randy // Jun 14, 2006 at 5:03 am

  Judges and attorneys should take note and watch their back…
  This is only the beginning…
  It takes this kind of extreme to deal with another extreme…
  And for those dirty judges and cock roach vampire attorneys who look upon men/fathers as only a paycheck, not people with “rights” hahaha/just mention rights and the law in a court and see how fast you are told to pay more…

  You assholes (and you KNOW who you are) that make up the law as you see fit, this could just be your future coming to a place near you soon…very soon… and more often….

  The News when someone gets shot…
  This seems like the only way people who are fair and do the right thing and follow the law can learn about what’s behind the cause for such to happen…
  Maybe this can shine the light on/or rid this corrupt system of those “dealings” that go on behind closed doors…At the expense of children…
  Never do you see such in a divorce that doesn’t involve children or money that a woman usually wants…
  BUT! Only if the “news” reports “all the facts” in these cases on TV…
  Lets get the deep down dirt on the news…
  Those who might cause any person to snap when pushed to the wall…What’s there to live for is probably this gunmans thoughts and attempted to take one out, and apparently took out the wife/ those he must feel went to far, so as in Reno, he took it to the limit…

  I haven’t forgotten the main people who took my son from my life to live with the Mother 6 years ago…3000 miles away across an ocean with only hearsay “as a need” for a better quality of life…
  (so you can’t drive there, but need to fly two different airplanes each way, rent a car, pay for lodging and expenses…)
  This is what is best for the child by removing a father from a child with a signature???

  God will deal with those which have ruined a wonderful relationship I had and killed it…

  It looks like it’s open season on judges and attorneys and/or anyone else who takes children from two fit parents and gives only to one parent “solely”, which then is turned into a sick support me/get back game, (usually the woman)…who then becomes cruel, only wants revenge and all the money and pain that can be created by keeping a child alienated…
  All turned loose on one individual…
  The Father…
  I can feel it and see it on the news almost weekly, there’s a war that’s brewing for the family court system and those who support the taking of children money and property from one parent, and giving all to the other parent…

  Remember the Black Panthers Stand…
  It may happen sooner than later somewhere else by another (usually the father) when people are not delt with 50/50 and due process…
  I do not personally believe that violence is any answer…
  The family law corrupt system will turn out and cause more violence than it is supposed to stop…
  Strangers with too much power deciding to breakup children from a loving other parent?
  Then ask for money from you?
  Sounds worse than any Mafia. Hell, just try judges and attorneys to take away anything from a real mafia type…
  You all would pee down your leg…

  You all are going to get yours in time…

• 12 Jim Deeny // Jun 14, 2006 at 6:05 am

  The real glitch is that justices will hand out even more PFA’s like candy now. Soon to be ex husbands will be considered armed and dangerous. Incidents like this can and might have an adverse affect on allot of us men out here.

• 13 Ron Rutgers // Jun 14, 2006 at 8:03 am

  Why do you think a restraining order, is the first order of business in a divorce nowadays? Once issued, they confiscate your weapons. They can’t have your 2nd amendment rights in play, when they proceed to violate the rest of your rights.

  Lawyers have become gangs of marauders, and judges, are their warlords. They expect you to be a dutiful slave or to end your own life. Considering the futility of fighting them within a system that they control, there are few options.

  The right to bear arms is a safeguard to prevent tyranny, so this event shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s be a victim of the system.

  “Why do you think a restraining order, is the first order of business in a divorce nowadays?

  They know that men will be pushed over the top with the biased family courts, and will do exactly this guy did when he lost everything. It’s all planned out from the beginning to the 14th ammendment, which is not being jailed for a debt.

• 15 Kevin Merck // Jun 14, 2006 at 4:45 pm

  Unilateral acts of revenge like this are not the answer. However, that is not to say that violence will not be necessary to bring about change. It must be a unified front of millions, not the desperate act of vengeance on the part of a few individuals. Violence is sometimes a necessary evil when you are dealing with tyrants. This country was born through violent revolution. It shouldn’t be that hard for people to understand that violence is sometimes justified and necessary.

  I hear a lot of “brave talk” by people who don’t have the courage or self-respect to use their real names while posting. I think people who don’t have the courage to put their “John Hancock” on what they have to say would do everyone a favor by keeping it to themselves.

  Maybe if they become sincerely interested in discovering the real reason why things like this happen, instead of coming at the problem from a close-minded, one-sided “these fathers are crazy” perspective, then they will be able to stop it. A man is not crazy if he’s been driven to the point where he feels he is literally being attacked (and he is) and must physically do something to defend himself. Any psychiatric professional worth his salt can see, this is not act act of insanity, but of desperation. As long as they approach this from the standpoint of “these men did this, now we will make new tougher laws to make them pay” instead of “lets find out what would drive a lifetime law-abiding, decent member of the community to commit an act like this” the problem will never be solved. You cannot cure an illness by acknowledging and addressing only the symptoms, you must address the disease causing the symptoms before you will make any progress towards ending it.

  I just got off a website called “red state feminist” and read some of the comments these females had in response to the Mack story on ANCPR. There should be no distinction made between these females and the KKK, Skinheads, Nazi-etc. It’s amazing to me how people who claim to have been the victims of discrimination can take such an active role as the oppressor. I guess it just goes to show that the oppressed will always become the oppressor when given the chance. It’s amazing how these criminals have the audacity to bring up the “best interests of children” when many in their number have undoubtedly left “murdered children” in abortion clinic dumpsters.

  I guess none of them can grasp that “systematic violence” is being used against fathers and “their children” on a routine basis by the “out of control” family courts. They have never been subjected to the courts like men have. I’m sure they are mostly “white women” who have never been held accountable for anything. If they can’t stand the idea of sharing custody then they better not get pregnant. Women don’t “own children” just because they give birth to them. Children are not instruments to be used to extort money, nor are they accessories to try and fulfill a meaningless lifestyle, nor are they a “meal ticket” for underprivileged females, and most of all they are not a means to an end for unscrupulous government. You better get used to the idea that abortion is going to be out of the question and so will be the notion that you will get sole custody.

  There has been a 700% increase in the prison population in the last forty years … almost all men … and directly attributable to the rise of feminism and the demise of the family. The “vast majority” of men in prison were raised in single mother households. Most “out-of-wedlock pregnancies” are a resulting consequence of children raised in single mother households. Statistically, children raised in single mother households don’t stand a chance. So much for the “best interests of children”, these criminals are destroying the lives of countless children and could care less.

  An insatiable appetite for “federal funding” by bureaucrats and the greed of selfish females is what perpetuates this human rights disaster. As long as there are federal dollars awarded to states for locking-up their male citizens and forcing “child support” on fathers/alleged fathers instead of affording them “equal protection”, this will continue unabated. Subsequently, as long as the victims of this extortion racket continue to finance their own exploitation, by paying the extortion, there is “no reason” for these criminals to change their behavior because money is their “primary motivation”.

  Being able to stop the vicious circle is “completely” in our control; it always has been. These criminals rely “completely” on our cooperation. If people stop paying the extortion there will be no federal funds awarded and there is “no way” they can lock-up the numbers of people involved. I know it’s easier said than done, but still “necessary”. As more people stop paying, more and more will get involved, having a “snowballing” effect.

  I wish it were as simple as getting the victims to go vote for change, but it’s impossible for a minority of 20 million people to change things by voting in a country of 300 million. Black people faced the same odds back in the sixties. Voting didn’t get the job done, riots in all the major cities, with an unforgivable death toll is what changed things. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but it’s headed in that direction. Unless the Republican Party has a “spiritual awakening” there doesn’t seem to be a political solution. A third party victory is a long-shot at best.

  One thing for sure is that the longer this injustice continues the harder it will be to set things straight. Ever more men will have paid with their lives or lost their right to vote, along with the rest of their constitutional rights, having been “criminalized” for failing to meet the unconscionable demands of this domestic enemy. These fanatics will have succeeded in disfranchising men to the point that a peaceful resolution will be practically impossible, and violence will seem our only recourse.

  Every day that people postpone refusing to pay can be measured in loss of life, freedom and happiness.

  Help save lives; refuse to pay the extortion.

  Kevin Merck

  All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.

  Private prisons house less than 5% of the current prison population and there is plenty of controversy over their implementation. It looks as though state and local governments are increasingly alarmed that they are losing a substantial portion of the incarceration pie.

  This “incarceration boom” is big business. Remember 3 out of 4 prisoners are from “single mother households”; therefore, any change in the present child placement policies would directly affect the numbers of future prisoners available to the state to fill their prisons.

  In order for prisons to operate at their maximum earning potential they must be full to capacity. New prisons are filled to capacity in short order upon their completion, which always gives the impression that a new one is desperately needed.

  It’s another vicious-circle created by the state in order to drain the pockets of the taxpayer through matching federal dollars to house prisoners. As long as the feds dole out huge sums of money to lock-up our citizens, (almost all men) the “incarceration boom” will flourish.

  In my opinion, this can only be honestly seen as a modern day slave trade predicated on the lie that we are protecting our citizens. It’s also a not-so-clever way of disfranchising a large percentage of our male population for political purposes.

  These prisons once built become necessary to the local communities they are built in. They are usually built in rural communities where other opportunities are virtually non-existent due in large part to the reduction of our industrial base. Once built, they become like the “military base” that no one can seem to do without.

  Everyone in America should be “alarmed” by this trend.

  Greetings:

  In a nutshell, EVERY parental rights agenda, whether (A) legal
  challenges, (B) communication
  campaigns to members of legislatures, (C) public rallies, or (D)
  etc., needs **many** more
  interested people to join and support those causes, and as fast as
  can be humanly done!

  Problem = how to find and contact all of those other millions of
  noncustodial parents?

  Solution = use the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to force the
  states - themselves - to tell us
  the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of every noncustodial
  parent under a Title IV-D
  child support order. Since every divorce/custody/paternity/etc case
  is, by definition of law, a
  matter of public record, that “party information” for all of those
  other millions of noncustodial
  parents is, also therefore, information obtainable under the FOIA -
  because Title IV-D
  information is… **federal** information!
  Each FOIA request is filed with the agent in charge of Title IV-D
  child support for a given
  county. This is typically either the actual/named/official county
  clerk herself/himself, or some
  other officially-named person. Once your FOIA is filed, they only
  have 20 working days to
  provide the information, and in 95% of the counties in this country,
  that information will be
  provided in an easy-to-use electronic format -> on floppy disks, cd-
  rom, or by email.

  Even better, in almost every case, federal law requires that the
  information shall be provided at
  **no cost** - all you need is a printer, 2 sheets of paper, and an
  envelope. However, it is highly
  recommended that the FOIA request be sent by certified mail, return
  receipt requested, so as to
  have a formal record of proof of filing the request, and of the date
  it was filed.

  GO HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE “NCP” FOIA REQUEST, AND TO GET MORE INFO:
  http://www.indianacrc.org/FOIA.html
  Please distribute this information as widely as possible…TODAY…
  Ideally, there should be one
  person per each of the approx 3142 counties in the United States
  filing their FOIA request with
  that particular county, or maybe one person for each 2-3 counties,
  just to get it going faster.
