Ohio NBC 4 Contines Updates on Fathers 4 Justice Crane Protest. There have been unconfirmed reports that police agencies may be mobilizing to take the crane by force to remove Donald Tenn, the last remaining father from a Crane in Columbus Ohio.

Paul Fisher was arraigned earlier this morning after climbing down from the Crane Monday evening for Felony Vandalism, under the accusation that bolt cutters may have been used to gain entry to the crane site where two Fathers 4 Justice members climbed atop a 100ft Crane.

According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.05 under Section (E) the applicable Felony could a be fourth or fifth degree offense brought against the protesters. These technicalities affect the severity of punishment. Along with other overriding provisions of ORC 2929.11 there can be a fine of up to $2500.00.

According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.11 pertaining to felony sentencing ..."The overriding purposes of felony sentencing are to protect the public
from future crime by the offender and others and to punish the offender. To achieve those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the need for incapacitating the offender, deterring the offender and others from future crime, rehabilitating the offender, and making restitution to the victim of the offense, the public, or both."

Additionally, no matter the outcome of either trial, a conviction, or restitution assignment, nothing in these statutes prohibit the bringing of a civil action for additional damages against any of the alleged suspects or their associates which has been expressly preserved in the Ohio Revise Code under pertinent and numerous sections.

Two quotes come to mind immediately after reading some of the information are these: "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" according to George Orwell, but that is quickly followed up by the philosophy of Voltaire in his statement that "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong."

FORMER MINUTEMAN PROJECT VOLUNTEER FACES POSSIBLE 20 YEAR SENTENCE DUE TO CHILD SUPPORT

 A former Minuteman Project volunteer faces a possible 20-year criminal sentence for charges alleging outstanding child support, according to court records obtained through anonymous sources. Paul Sielski, a 41-year old Honorably Discharged Marine and Anti-Illegal Alien activist is scheduled to appear in Frederick County, Maryland Circuit Court for what appears to be a jury trial scheduled to determine if he is criminally responsible for allegations of felony non-support of a minor child and a common law charge of “constructive criminal contempt of court.

According to audio transcripts obtained through third parties and the court, Judge G. Edward Dwyer, Jr. went on the record to indicate that the Defendant Sielski could be sentenced to over 20 years in jail for the common law charge. Defendant Sielski has already been confined for over 100 days in the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.

 Paul Sielski has been unable to gain access to his child since August 2004, who is now three and a half years old. Upon review of the family court records no civil actions for contempt of court were ever prosecuted against the now criminally-charged Defendant. “There certainly are outstanding issues in the family court case that is now being used as the basis for the criminal charges against my husband,” states Deborah Courtney.

“No person should ever be ordered to pay $3500.00 monthly for child and spousal support, especially when visitation has been consistently withheld by the Defendant’s Ex-Wife,” further states Courtney. Upon review of the court record, the same judge that ordered that level of spousal and child support has heard part of the now criminally-charged case against the Defendant and has been found to have ruled against the Defendant in the family court case approximately 20 times.

 The Defendant’s Ex-Wife, Kimberly Whitmore Sielski, who actually moved away from the State of Maryland with the parties’ minor child prior to any court approval, appears to be no stranger to the courtroom. In police records that were reviewed and verified, the ex-wife, is described as using a handgun to shoot  a previous intimate partner, her first husband, in 1993 which was later pled down to Reckless Endangerment, Battery, and Discharging a Firearm within city limits.

Family Rights and Equal Parenting advocates from across the country have come to Frederick, Maryland to observe the Circuit Court proceedings that are scheduled for 9am at the Frederick County Circuit Courthouse located at 101 W. Patrick Street, Frederick Maryland, 21701. Fliers, posters, and street rallies were organized over the weekend to alert the local community about what has been described by protesters as a “dysfunctional and destructive system that focuses on Federal incentives rather than the best interests of the children.”

Minister Ronald Smith of Grand Rapids, Michigan also attended events at the corner of Market Street and W. Patrick in downtown Frederick, just blocks away from the Courthouse. Minister Smith, Founder of Children Need Both Parents, Inc. states, “For the courts to threaten to take a Father away from his child for 20 years is preposterous and certainly not in the best interest of the child.  It is the courts obligation to maintain the relationship between the parent and child.  This is another case of another Judge endorsing single parenting.”

 “It’s a national epidemic; notwithstanding that Paul’s child support order is obviously excessive, ridiculous, and unable to be met.  Paul Sielski represents millions of people at any moment who would like to be parents to their children, but whose efforts are frustrated by the courts,” says Randall Scotti.

 “After being repeatedly beaten down and out spent, Paul froze in his attempt to nullify his marriage and void his divorce decree, a feeling many others experience.  Having everything ripped out from under him, he was left homeless, penniless, and unable to work after his clothing, automobile, and personal computers and papers were denied by his ex wife,” says second wife, Deborah Courtney.  She also states that “Fortunately, Paul has never felt the hopelessness that other fathers have felt, even in his dire circumstances and holds his head high and continues to maintain his dignity.”

Reacting to the number of murder suicides in Frederick County, a population of a mere 223,000, which experienced no less than its’ sixth family slaughtered by it’s own former breadwinner, Sielski could only say with tears in his eyes, “We didn’t give them hope and the necessary support, and instead just threatened to lock them all away and take their children from them,” even as he faces his own sentence.

How many people have been threatened by Friend of the Court personnel to pay up or be prepared for criminal prosecution?

Has the Friend of the Court attempted to extort money from you? It's illegal and here is the start of what you need to know!

Some people have complained that Friend of the Court employees often have threatened criminal prosecution, referral, or conviction against them if they don't immediately come up with a payment. In Michigan, and according to both State Law and State Court Administrator Memorandum, it is a felony for anyone to extort money from you.

MCL 750.213 reads: Sec. 213. Any person who shall, either orally or by a written or printed communication, maliciously threaten to accuse another of any crime or offense, or shall orally or by any written or printed communication maliciously threaten any injury to the person or property or mother, father, husband, wife or child of another with intent thereby to extort money or any pecuniary advantage whatever, or with intent to compel the person so threatened to do or refrain from doing any act against his will, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 20 years or by a fine of not more than $10,000 dollars.

Now, I'm certainly not a lawyer, and this isn't really any legal advice, but since alot of people are complaining about this subject, let's write a grievance together. Writing a grievance is FREE, and I will help you write it. I will also pay for the postage stamp to make sure it gets to the right place. In fact, if you think that the Friend of the Court is attempting to commit the above FELONY we can even send a copy of the grievance and their response to the Prosecuting Attorney's Office for your County. If they refuse to investigate, no big deal because there are ways to ensure an investigation occurs. Let's help make this system work for the needy instead of the greedy. It begins with writing grievances and making sure that your government knows that their funding schemes are transparent, and you are tired of taxpayer waste. We have alot of work to do, so let's get working on it!
