Update: Wirecutter Legal Defense Fund

Sometime during the wee morning hours, Ken's goal was reached and he asked me to shut it down and pull the post, which I did. However, foodgrower had a great comment:

"That is great news and Ken again demonstrates the man he is by not taking advantage of folks generosity.

This also demonstrates how big the real III (and silent III) is and what happens if you even nudge the sleeping giant.

I do however disagree with the decision to pull the post, turn off the request for help by all means once Ken said to, but the original post should be part of the continuing public record of crap coming out of Idaho that taints the entire III. 

Folks doing web searches should be able to get both sides of the story of what is going on in Idaho, not just the full court pr job the kerodins are trying to maintain.

And Cavmedic offered this:

"Anonymous said...

Right, you pulled the wirecutter
'titty Tuesday,' T&A idiocy, defense
fund post because the "goal was reached
in less than 24 hours."
Bullshit.
Your defense fund post was online barely
a few hours.

Cavmedic"

So I'd like to address Cav's comment first. The original schedule for the post was 11/26/15 at 10:11 am. It came down at 7:26 am this morning. 21 hours or so. I'm not exactly sure what your beef is, but those are the facts.

And foodgrower, I agree with you, so the post is back up. Ken respectfully and gratefully requests the donations hold up.

Okay folks, you probably read it over at wirecutter's HERE, but I'm going to give you a quick rundown for anyone who doesn't know what's been going on lately. A couple of months ago, some of us Patriots started talking, comparing notes, and coming up with questions about some of the goings on with the Kerodins, specifically III Arms Founding Members funds. Jim Miller posted what he had, Mason Dixon Tactical, wirecutter, and George Patton all posted asking very pertinent clear questions.

Now, growing up, Poppy instilled in me a sense of honor and integrity. If I'm ever questioned on my actions, and I'm innocent, I will answer the questions clearly, with evidence, and expect an apology forthwith. If I'm guilty, and yes, I have been guilty before, this is where the honor and integrity really have to shine. If I'm guilty, honor dictates that I confess and make amends, no matter how much it hurts. If I've done something to offend or hurt someone(s), I am duty bound to admit my guilt and accept the repercussions. Now, human nature is geared towards self defense and many would take the easy way out by lying or deflecting, by accusing someone else or at least offering excuses for their bad behavior. Poppy would have none of that; and believe me, when you realize that actions and choices have repercussions, you're more likely to choose good actions with good results. Sadly, that's not the story of the Kerodins.

Easy questions to answer; if they did nothing wrong, easy enough to prove and it all goes away with apologies. If they did do something wrong, then fess up and take your licks, honor and integrity demand it. So what do they do? They attack Mason Dixon, making false accusations to his employer trying to get him disciplined or fired. Not just underhanded, but outright despicable. All they had to do was answer the damn questions.

And now, they're going after Ken Lane.

Holly Kerodin slapped him with an Order of Protection, which is what the court case was about yesterday. She specifically requested that the court force him to surrender his guns. WTF? Unlike Sam, Ken has NEVER threatened physical violence to anyone, especially the Kerodins. But she's so afraid of Ken, she's demanding the court disarm him. The second case is suing for money for "damaging her reputation". Uh-huh. I think they did a good enough job of that on their own.

But the result of this bullshit is Ken has had to retain a lawyer (who knew his defense fund would need to be activated because of a "fellow Patriot"?) with all the expenses that entails. Not only is this a specious case designed to damage, harass, and potentially disarm Ken, it's an assault on all Patriots. A "warning" not to cross the Kerodins. Don't ask questions, don't look behind the curtain.

This is an attack on all of us, Ken is just paying the price today. Who knows who will be next?

So we're rallying the troops. If you can, please donate. A little means a lot, nobody has to be a hero. Ken is the last person in the world to ask for help, he's one of those TRUE Men who would suck it up and deal with it quietly rather than asking for help. So I know this bugs him, but tough noogies, I'm doing it for all of us. The Kerodins need to know if they attack one of us, they attack ALL of us.

I'm not going to set up a special GoFundMe or anything, just link to his PayPal and mailing address. I know and trust him, and know he'll cut it off when the goal is reached.
