blog post by John Hoff
Following news of a cock fighting ring busted in North Minneapolis plus an arrest not long ago involving dog fighting, North Minneapolis residents in Facebook discussion forums are (shall we say?) "rabid" to learn the names of suspects who may be involved with this inhumane and reprehensible activity.
Looking at the jail roster tonight I see somebody named John Adrian Handy (DOB 11/5/67) was arrested on suspicion of animal fighting. The arrest happened January 23 and he was released 36 hours later on January 25. No charges were filed. Handy is innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Handy's address on the jail roster is...
...1417 Fremont Ave. N., a homesteaded property which he owns in his own name.
Handy has a previous arrest for allegedly failing to notify the owner of damaged property in the wake of a traffic mishap. Though a minor charge, it did cause his mugshot to go online.
He also had a driving after suspension charge in 2002 which made a different mugshot go online.
Looking at his rap sheet, (not all these entries may represent actual convictions) something pretty relevant turns up a couple entries down...

In regard to this charge, above, the torture charge was dismissed but he pled to the cruelty charge. Paid a minor fine and had 45 days hanging over his head, which he apparently never had to serve.

It should be emphasized that even though Adrian has been convicted of cruelty to animals he hasn't been...
Well, heck, it's late and I'm tired. Figure the rest of the caveat out and tell me what you come up with.
I won't even SAY what I'd do to this piece of work, JNS would not post it.

John,
ReplyDeletePLEASE take the pic of this poor pup off the post! This "piece of work" needs to go into the CAGE with someone and come out looking same same as this poor pup...she can't be very old with a litter already. Makes me want to (**&^*(.

I understand the photo is upsetting, and that's exactly why I've used the photo in connection with the headline naming a man already convicted of animal cruelty and suspected of involvement in dog fighting. I'll get more posts up in the next few days and the upsetting photo will drop to the bottom.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You don't know what I'd be willing to post until you try.
ReplyDeleteDuct tape, torch,and vise grips come to mind, curling iron and a timer for the long grand finale on his ass. B/C Jake
ReplyDeletePlease tell us this poor dog was rescued and given medical attention??
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't have the answer to that at hand. I know the photo and its origins and the fact it was used on the Facebook page of JMaul Breedingdemmonsters Grayland was discussed, extensively, on a Facebook page dedicated to stopping dog fighting. I tried to find the page and the discussion but there are, like, about half a dozen Facebook pages on that topic and I'm not sure which one it was, though I THINK it was a page associated with Cook County, somehow?
ReplyDeleteYou know who might have the answer? Bridget Mengerson who is on Facebook and first brought the photo to everybody's attention. She knows more about the photo in more detail than me. What I know about the photo I put in the photo credit but I don't know the rest; not enough to answer your question.
To the anonymous person who left a comment.
ReplyDeleteBe advised that if you defame me, you will be sued. Be advised that if you have ALREADY defamed me at some time in the past, you will be sued unless you remove the defamatory material and take other appropriate steps. The era of the trolls is coming to an end and a new era is dawning.
THE ONLY REASON READERS COME TO THIS BLOG IS FOR THE TROLL COMMENTS - THEY ARE THE BEST!!!
ReplyDeleteProving "actual malice" will not prove difficult at all when it's knowing and/or reckless disregard of the truth. Believe you me, I learned PLENTY at my own trial for defamation.
ReplyDeleteI have mountains of evidence in regard to that. The era of "troll blogs" and "anti-Johnnys" who knowingly make up false facts and publish that stuff is going to come to an end. Trolls won't be hard to find at Texas Storage Wares, their grandmother's house or wherever they happen to be to accomplish legal service. You can take this as fair warning or you can keep on doing what you've been doing. But when the time comes you won't be able to say you weren't put on notice, and it will consist of a lot more than me typing this comment.
Oh, I should mention...
ReplyDeleteReply above is to a "manifesto length" comment that is rejected for publication but has been saved for documentation purposes.
I will also add...
Defamation of a person in the skills of their profession is in a special "per se" category all by itself.
Another "manifesto length" comment rejected but saved for evidentiary purposes. You have been warned repeatedly and in a public way.
ReplyDeleteBlah blah blah - Idle threats from a guy hiding behind a blog. Who's gonna pay the filing fee Mr. IFP??????

You can't sue anyone dipshit. You don't know how to track anonymous comments. You are a fucking loser, bitch and dick sucking whore.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, you can't do anything. I got you...
In order for it to be defamation the published info must be false. And since "defamation per se" must interfere with your job, you have not a leg to stand on because the law firm in question has confirmed your services will no longer be needed...EVER!
ReplyDeleteSo go chug a bottle of cheap wine, and
