Invasive Himalayan blackberries, the kudzu of the PNW.
michael is the hornets nest and has been for years. Some of his ex students/workers told me they were bullied, manipulated, threatened, etc by him on numerous occasions. Someone told me that they felt bad for Lauren and wish she had warned us. She said that she herself felt lucky to get out of there alive. Lauren has her faults… but Michael TRIED TO KILL SOMEONE WITH A DEADLY WEAPON!!!
Again, I’m way behind but seriously?
I can’t even say “nice try” bc it’s such a ridiculous statement.
Oh, Is this the mirror we’re all supposed to see?
Honey, you need to take that mirror and go have a hard look. All yourself why are you doing this. Really, be honest with yourself.
never mind, question answered.
Sigh.
I would like to respond to CH’s example of the terrible lies out forth by the Illegal Mob. CH said someone lied by accusing LK of calling CPS. And she correctly pointed out that SS had called CPS. But the SS call was due to a false report of child neglect filed by LK.
LK got that whole ball rolling. And don’t come back and tell me if was because MB filed on LK. Alleging child abuse in any form where none exists is beyond evil.
And yes, sexual abuse was said in error, and corrected. Nonetheless, this lovely person filed a false report of child abuse. It gets no lower.
Another look back to YD history. The gray is my quote, but the leap to MB not being interviewed was quite a leap to make from my comment. And again, the magic 8 ball…
Another interesting magic 8 ball speculation….someone else on the farm may have called CPS? What did LK say about JH and the searches on her phone?
In the earlier threads, the accusations were that LK called CPS herself as a form of harassment. Are you now retracting that accusation and saying that it was a consequence of her contacting SS, but that it was SS that called CPS, not LK? Interesting. I was the one who raised the possibility that it was SS who contacted CPS rather than Lauren. In those earlier threads, you and others slammed the suggestion and insisted that it was LK who called CPS. It is documented that LK contacted SS to re…
Thanks to the many posters who wished me luck on my knee surgery. Finally home - and had lots of emails and SM business and hundreds of posts here to catch up on. Lots of ice and meds on board!
Also, not wishing to offend anyone on here. If you are being nice to me and about me, I will be nice to you. I hope that works.
Seeker, some of us were - you got insulting anyway. #shrug
You seem to have a rather skewed idea of the importance of this forum.
As SM forums go - this is rather tame. Even compared to some of the YouTube threads. Plus there are True Crime forums that are much larger than this one who have been having a good time with this case.
As SM forums go, this one is rather small. It is also in the back room of a website for an equestrian magazine - not exactly a vast network forum - and not large as many other sports forums are - or even 1/10 as busy.
So rushing in here to scold and chastise in an attempt to change how people see LK at this point is not very effective.
As myself and others said repeatedly to Lauren before she was banned, you are not helping yourself with these posts… and just adding to the SM evidence for the civil case. You have also said many things that were said at he trial and recorded on video for posterity were wrong or never happened. It was not TV but actual court documentation. Maybe a review of some testimony would help you…
I thought my meds were taking me into a time warp here… long posts about flagging this and that and the tsk-tsking style made me think YD was back and in her glory!
That is not a pattern or style that any of us need to be falling into… as Sdel is capably demonstrating!
It is hard to type with one hand and hold the icebag in place with the other while in this chair… so I will go back to lurking…
Hope you heal quickly. I’ve been having knee problems due to arthritis and it just impacts every aspect of your life. Take care of yourself. I shall send good thoughts your way.
@smoofox, I am impressed you typed all that with one hand. Great job.
Healing knee Jingles!
Don’t be impressed - it took for bloody ever!
Thanks again, all!

Get lots of rest. Good luck with the knee.
I’m just doing what I’m good at…
Glad you’re home. Hope it heals well!
YD keeping track of insiders (KM)
I have no idea who Knights Mom is, and don’t particularly care who she is. I think it’s somewhat useful to keep track of who the insiders are, and in my own little mind, I have inferred that she is an insider, based on her assertions that she knew there was a signed order two days prior to it being posted in the online system. If she wants to deny it, that’s cool.
YD about KM seeing a judge’s order that “wasn’t there”
The signed and dated order denying Lauren’s motion to appoint a fiscal administrator preventing Barisone from selling horses appeared on the NJ court site today, March 27.
It is dated today, March 27.
Somehow Knights Mom claims to have seen a signed and dated judge’s order on the motion two days ago.
YD on Jurors and notes:
YD on American vs British English
Very CH like
And I had no insider knowledge
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!
YD on lesser included and that the defense might want them:
What I took away from the previous discussion on this issue was that if the charge is attempted first degree murder, and the defendant thinks it is beneficial to have the jurors have the option of considering a lesser “included” charge, such as attempted second degree murder, or assault with a deadly weapon, the defendant can request that the lesser, included charges be available to the jury, rather than going all-or-nothing on attempted first degree murder. Since MB got in his truck, drove …
Deja vu FitzE:
More YD on the 4-5 poster that repeat the same claims:
Stuff like, “I have repeatedly asked you to explain why you didn’t leave ...”, and “why won’t you admit to the role that you played in this tragedy by provoking and harassing MB”. Much of it is in previous threads.
She is usually somewhat more subtle than saying “Lauren refuses to take blame for making MB shoot her”, but not all that much.
There is a group of about 4 or 5 posters who chime in and repeat the same message. I’m not saying you are part of the group.
On liability in the civil case:
