I would have him for dinner and invite him to stay at my house. Michael Barisone is no one to be feared!
You know what drove that home to me yesterday? The number of people, including people who have known Michael for many, many years, who showed up to support Michael yesterday!
Do you know how many people showed up to support LK at the hearing yesterday?
That would be a BIG FAT ZERO! Not even her own parents showed up to further her cause!

Sounds like a pretty hollow moral victory to defend if you ask me……

It does appear that way!
I wonder how much the job pays and what the benefits are. There is not enough money in the world to work to defend Lauren Kanarek, her behavior and the horrible things she has done to people!

Sigh. Let’s walk through this.
Yup. I remember.
I think that the part you put in quotes here came from an article that one person wrote, about something another person said, that MB apparently mentioned something about during a private therapy session he participated in. Soooo… my reaction is that it sounds like he is appropriately remorseful Lauren was shot in 2019, but beyond that, I don’t really know much about who precisely said what, when and what additional context might be involved. I didn’t attend the hearing yesterday and obviously don’t know what MB said during his private therapy sessions.
Yes. Apparently multiple psychiatric professionals and a judge have decided he no longer poses a significant threat to society. Which is very positive news. We agree.
This is part of what I find mystifying about you. You consistently keep pressing on this single point at every available opportunity…
Hmmmmm. That almost sounds like you believe he is still firmly on a leash. It almost has a “warning” tone.
My activity on social media has absolutely NOTHING to do with MBs personal journey back to wellness. He doesn’t have a clue who I am or what I say on social media. I don’t think he’s even had internet access for years.
I find it utterly mystifying you would link my comments on COTH to his mental wellness journey. That’s so strange.
UNLESS…
There was something else about my commentary on social media that was bothering you. And you really wanted me to shut up. So you decided to make vague references to how MB hadn’t been unconditionally released yet.
I think Eggbutt and Cutter are great. But that’s besides the point.
What I am getting from your comment is that you are “warning” me that my comments on social media… which you characterized as a “continuing SM campaign” “won’t help” MB… and you are “reminding” me that he has not yet been unconditionally released from the Krol process in NJ…
I find this very interesting.
What specific comments of mine have gotten under your skin this time CH? I’m MYSTIFIED.
Because you are just a random person, with a deep sense of fairness and empathy, who has no horses, but RANDOMLY took note of this niche forum where we were all discussing a very niche criminal case a few years ago…
And ever since then, you have devoted lots of effort towards trying to shape and mold the discussion about this case.
I find that so interesting.
I think it has to do with something other than empathy for Lollypop, however. And I am not of the opinion that you hate MB.
Nope. There is something else going on here. I don’t know what though.

It is mildly reminiscent of being “Warned” about dire consequences by LK herself.

Me too, especially since these comments have been going on for years and the mental health experts testified by default that they haven’t affected his mental state at all. Plus the judge was forced to release MB yesterday.
Hasn’t CH been claiming that LO’s been feeding Michael the comments and directing the masses to make these comments from behind the scenes for a while now.

She is a full USEF member, with membership until 2025. She just cannot compete until she renews her SafeSport training. Just being a member puts you in SS’s jurisdiction, whether you actively compete or not.

That’s the vibe I felt as well. Very reminiscent of the threats via PM that LaLa sent me some years ago. I am now convinced that we are dealing with LaLa’s toady. Amanuensis, Smithers, whatever.

Well, let’s talk about social media.
Michael has not been on social media since the index incident, and was very strongly encouraged not to be. I heard that loud and clear with my own ears yesterday, and I am sure Michael heard it as well.
But let’s also talk about the role of social media in this situation, which in some ways is truly secondary.
Why do I say it is secondary?
Michael dealt with this person, a person who was actively trying to destroy him, not only on his own property like the barn, but in HIS OWN HOME. On HIS FARM, that he busted his ass to earn!
Let’s remember, all the occupants of the house were driven out of it by LK and RG, who then proceeded to attempt to keep them up all night in the barn.
LK’s rantings on social media are not really the crux of this issue. Sure, she made posts online, using current buzz words to attract attention. She purposely worked the social media angle without a doubt!
But those social media posts were done for public consumption, so she could make it look like she was targeted and bullied.
She played the game in person, in real life. She snuck around in a black outfit that included a veil and no shoes to purposely drive another human being to lose their mind! Along with breaking into Michael’s private office and doing many other things as well.
Nah, social media was not the whole of this case. I believe it was in fact just a tiny part of it.

This is the BEST possible news we could have heard. So happy that Michael will finally be with his family and horses again. Kudos to LO for posting nothing about his outings and therapy. No reason for everyone to know what was happening. No ammunition for people to jump on and make nasty comments about. I hope Michael and Lara get to spend a long and happy life together. Yay!!!

Yes. It does have a faint whiff of that.
But this time, it seems like there is an implication that MB will suffer somehow if I continue my “SM campaign.”
There’s something weird implied here about his conditional release status.
LK made a habit of threatening people directly. Which was clumsy and slightly criminal and hotheaded on her part.
This other little thing that seems to be going on is quite different.
But that’s just my crazy “spidy sense” overreacting… because CH is just a random nobody after all. Just like me.
And as a random nobody, with no connection to anyone involved in this case, CH has made consistent comments about how they feel Judge Taylor is very fair and professional…
CH has done this on multiple threads actually. Comment on how they see Schellhorn as having done his job competently, and how they don’t think there is any sort of judicial vendetta going on, and how do think Taylor has been fair.
It’s noteworthy.
So why would MBs conditional release be at any risk in relation to comments on social media made by random people, if Judge Taylor is so professional and fair? That makes no sense whatsoever.

And yet CH claims to have never been in the courtroom during any hearing? How would they know how or what either Taylor or Schellhorn were doing well or not???

MB was confined to a psychiatric hospital because he shot someone while delusional. He was conditionally released yesterday to continue psychiatric treatment in a less restrictive environment, although he remains under the court’s jurisdiction as to further lessening his restrictions.
I believe, you are free to disagree, that his mental progress in acknowledging “what he did” was an important factor in his release.
I thought months ago, and still think, that dropping his delusions to the effect that he shot in self defense or did not shoot her at all, was a key element of regaining his sanity.
However, there are still posters here who don’t want to drop those delusions.
When I talk about the SM campaign continuing to support these delusions and trash LK, I’m not referring to you specifically, but the general “you” of the majority posters on these threads. So it’s not about any specific comments you have made.
