Title: 2nd Amendment suit filed, Hebron Newspaper 04 Nov 2015 very biased
Post by: Thump on November 05, 2015, 08:54:42 PM
Hebron Nebraska news paper 04 November 2015 Headline, front page. 2nd amendment issue court case filed.  :o Deemed as " Frivolous " by county attorney of course, Especially since He, Mr Dan Werner the Sheriff of Thayer County David Lee and Thayer County are recipients of said law suit. :laugh:

An interesting note.. Lincoln Journal Star, 18 Oct 2015 Al Lukautis wrote a story regarding Alexandria Nebraska, in this story he mentioned the parties to the above mentioned law suit. Supposedly there will be a follow up story by Mr Al Lukautis soon in the Lincoln Journal News.

NRA-ILA is on deck watching as is GOA, 2nd Amendment foundation has been contacted as has U.S.C.C.A. the big question is ....... where is the support today? Where are the Oath Keepers? Don't they stand with their members or is membership strictly a money deal?

Interesting note... the Hebron newspaper article does NOT include statements from the attorney of the plaintiff nor the plaintiff.... and the story is very misleading...

We believe that people must stand together and believe in something or they will fall. Look at this country......... what a shame.............

I can give you the link to the Hebron Journa Register  I've looked on the site and I don't see the story. Here's this article the same names are mentioned here and there is to be a follow up article as well... journalstar.com nebraska/village-clerk-has-hands-full-with-five-towns (http://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/village-clerk-has-hands-full-with-five-towns/article_018398ca-3bcd-519b-bdbc-4ba05cec99a4.html)

The bottom line here is old school... If one accuses one to be a boogeyman.... then the masses will surely support the one who is seemingly in a fight against the non existent boogeyman.

Alexandria is a form of a cess pool. Residents are approximately 85 households. Nearly all related, council chair has been chair for over 12 years, all family run. It's not boomed nor will it, It's a dying community, with only a post office of 3 hours per day.


Now this article is from the Hebron Journal News, local news tab, then item #10 " local plea agreement..........."

http://www.hebronjournalregister.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1783:not-guilty-plea-and-plea-agreement-held-in-district-court&catid=34:local-news&Itemid=58 (http://www.hebronjournalregister.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1783:not-guilty-plea-and-plea-agreement-held-in-district-court&catid=34:local-news&Itemid=58)

Jesse Durflinger, 24, of Alexandria, made a plea agreement with prosecutors. Originally charged with using a firearm to commit a felony and terroristic threats which are both felonies, Durflinger pled guilty only to obstruction of a police officer and assault in the third degree, both class one misdemeanors. The 24-year-old, who is accused of assaulting his father, faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. His sentencing will take place September 3 at 9:45 a.m.

Note that this youngster is the son of the council chairman's brother in law.

Wow!

This Thing has potential.

As a daytime TV soaper, I mean.

Reality shows, talk shows, other venues are all bottomed out now.   They're lookin' for something new.

A good team of script writers could put this baby into high gear.   Enough intrigue and intertwined relationships to last for a 10-year run.

Alexandria could be bigger than "Dallas".

On TV, that is.

Just sayin'...............................

And thinkin' out loud.

You're correct, it's typical small towns small minds, hate the outsider action. The interesting thing is this, this can happen to anyone, at any time anywhere. In today's society that's in monster decay, anyone can lie, and it's nothing for one to go to the court and stand before a judge and lie, perjury? BAWA HAHAHAHAHAHA....... Yeah right....

ALEXANDRIA -- A long-standing feud is simmering here, and some say it's tearing the tiny Thayer County village apart.

This is not a Hatfield and McCoy-type feud, where two families and their descendants fight each other for generations.

The situation in Alexandria is more complex, and it revolves around Richard and Judy Laughinghouse, who moved to town in March 2007.

They lived in Alexandria from 1992 to 1994, too, and they once owned a liquor store in nearby Fairbury. Both have family in the area. They say they planned to make Alexandria their retirement home.

"I was appreciated like a tick," Richard Laughinghouse said of the second time they moved here. "This is not a friendly community."

Some residents strongly disagree. They say the Laughinghouses are the ones making Alexandria an undesirable place to live.

"The problem is nobody will move there because this thing has spread," said Hebron attorney Benjamin Murray, who represents the Alexandria village board. "People have heard about the troubles."

He's referring to a tangled web of allegation, rumor, innuendo, lawsuits and protection orders that have got the attention of the Thayer County Sheriff's Office, the Nebraska State Patrol and the Nebraska Attorney General's Office.

Town bully?

Some Alexandrians accuse Richard Laughinghouse of being a bully and waging a campaign of intimidation and terror. They say he has patrolled the town at night carrying a baseball bat and flashing a concealed weapon.

Laughinghouse vehemently denies the allegations. He said the bat incident did occur, but someone was impersonating him.

"He's never threatened anybody," said his wife. "He's never hurt anyone. He's helped almost everybody in this town in the last years we've been here -- even the ones who have filed protection orders against him."

Members of the attorney general's staff have met with concerned residents, but spokeswoman Suzanne Gage said there's no ongoing investigation.

"We encouraged them to report any unlawful activity to our office," she said.

In October 2014, three women in Alexandria got protection orders from Thayer County District Court against Richard Laughinghouse, alleging that he harassed them, trespassed and dumped trash on private property. They say he intimidated people by carrying and flashing a concealed weapon and making threats.

"I am very afraid of Mr. Laughinghouse," Pauline Disney wrote in her request for a protection order.

Laughinghouse said he was never interviewed, ticketed, warned or arrested in connection with any of the protection orders. He said he and his wife have permits to carry concealed weapons, as is their constitutional right.

He carries a weapon because he worries about stray dogs in town, he said, and he denies ever using a gun to intimidate anyone.

The Laughinghouses say they have been harassed by townspeople who have thrown rocks at him, that beer bottles and trash have been tossed into their yard and their house has been egged.

After the protection orders were granted, Thayer County Sheriff David Lee visited the couple's home and asked Richard Laughinghouse to surrender all of the firearms in his possession, which he did, according to documents filed in Thayer County District Court.

On Nov. 19, 2014, the Nebraska State Patrol asked him by letter to relinquish his concealed carry permit. Instead, he filed a lawsuit against Thayer County, County Attorney Daniel Werner and the sheriff seeking to get his guns back.

Village board v. Laughinghouses

The Laughinghouses are also at odds with the village board and the way it runs the town of 177 people 80 miles southwest of Lincoln.

"They come to meetings and sit in the back and videotape the proceedings and put them on YouTube," Murray, the village's attorney, said of the Laughinghouses. "They think people are doing things wrong -- mismanaging funds and things like that."

Richard Laughinghouse said he believes people should hold their government accountable and that there's something amiss with the board. He's pushed without success for a forensic audit of financial records, saying village records have not been audited for eight years.

"We believe there is a lot of wrongdoing in the financial documents," said Beatrice attorney Dustin Garrison, who represents the Laughinghouses. "We're still investigating, and I don't feel comfortable commenting any further."

But Murray said the village clears matters through the League of Nebraska Municipalities and the Attorney General's Office and has an accountant look over its books and budgets annually.

He said there's no requirement for an audit as long as the village submits a waiver to the state. Still, Murray said, there will be one this year because the village just completed a large waste lagoon project.

Judy Laughinghouse said she and her husband moved to Alexandria eight years ago to try to improve the community. She said they tried to open a restaurant but were scoffed at by village leaders.

"They don't want to do anything to improve anything," she said.

Meanwhile, the couple have been doing their own review of village board records. They spent three Saturday mornings a month copying everything from contracts to receipts from April until Aug. 1, when Murray closed the village office because people were scared to go there.

"I think literally they want every piece that has come through the village in the last 10 years," he said. "They want every document."

On Aug. 12, the couple filed a lawsuit asking the judge to order the village to reinstate normal business hours. Now, people who want to see Clerk Donna Rut must make an appointment.

"It's a frivolous lawsuit in my opinion," Murray said, adding state law does not require village clerks to keep regular office hours.

In an effort to get some traction on the financial audit, Richard Laughinghouse ran as a write-in candidate for a seat on the five-member village board last year.

He claims the three women filed for the protection orders right before the election as part of a smear campaign. He said someone also placed flyers in mailboxes showing mug shots of him and his wife and noting charges against the couple in 2006 in Georgia. "You should know your candidates," the flyers said.

Richard Laughinghouse said the allegations of a breach in fiduciary responsibility in Georgia were unfounded and were dismissed.

In Nebraska, he said most of his troubles with Alexandria started after he and his wife remodeled a house for a woman in 2013. He said they spent about $17,000 on the project but had to sue the homeowner to collect. So far, he said, they've recovered about $3,000.

Deputies monitor meetings

At the request of the village board, Sheriff Lee has had deputies attend its meetings "more times than not in the past several months."

"If they are not at the meeting, they will be in the area," he said.

The sheriff noted that his office provides law enforcement services for other towns if asked, and it's not uncommon to have a deputy at village board or town meetings if controversial issues or concerns are being considered.

The Laughinghouses' attorney says they are not a threat to the community, and "there are people making false allegations about my clients about various things."

"The bottom line here is that there are certain people in Alexandria who have been there for a long time and they want my people out of Alexandria," Garrison said. "And they are going to do whatever they can to make it happen."

Doenne Brown, who moved to Alexandria three years ago, agrees.

"It's really a caustic community," Brown said. "The village board has a tendency to pass ordinances that target individuals. They are being targeted unfairly. ... The restraining orders are hogwash."

The Laughinghouses are finally fed up, and they've been trying to sell the two houses and 10 lots they own in town for the past year.

"They want us to move," Richard Laughinghouse said. "They want us out of here."




Town attacking resident who acts within the boundaries of the law. What's interesting is the comments at the bottom of the article. Implied threats, accusations and insinuations an attorneys ball field. Eric Holder said " We are a NATION OF COWARDS " he was more correct than incorrect. Where's the support for one who is in the right?

An order of protection bares an individual from possessing or purchasing firearms, so when one is issued (there is a mechanism for appeal of the order) the person who the order is against must get all firearms out of their possession.  the easiest method is to have a friend or relative take possession until things are settled if that's not available many of the smaller Sheriffs offices will work with someone to safe keep their property until things are cleared up.

One of the requirements to have a Concealed Handgun Permit is to be legally able to have a handgun, since he can not due to the protection order the NSP is doing its job in requesting that he turn his in.  Again there is mechanisms for appeal which it appears their attorney is taking.

As far as there being a "Second Amendment" case here, I can see one but in order for one to be brought you need a "Harmed individual" which Laughinghouse appears to be but they are not ones that people or the courts would be very sympathetic with.  It appears their actions brought about these issues as much as the small town politics did; part of winning these cases is requiring to show one party is at fault, here both parties appear to be.

Not sure why this thread exists here at all. I fail to see the 2A tie-in or NFOA interest. It seems like someone is simply trying to get more people to take sides.

Nobody moves to a small town and is instantly disliked for no reason. People will like you if you're likable. People will dislike you if you're a horse's rear end.

Also, I don't believe "flashing" your concealed weapon meets the definition of "concealed".

Please understand he was attacked by a stray dog in his yard 3 years ago, and went thru the rabies dance. Not pleasant. Therefore he carries to possibly eliminate this from happening again, but now due to the thinly veiled threats and blatant threats and insinuations, there's a heightened sense of security that's needed. For example, he has cameras around his dwelling. I was told that from Friday the 20th to Sunday the 22nd there were some 971 photos taken. 971 events that were motion activated, in this small town.

He's NOT stupid, and he didn't surrender to the LE officials, Can they really be trusted? He is aware of the law, and knows that he wasn't in violation of Title 18 USC 922, 2261, and or 2264 nor in violation of any State Statutes but due to the Senator Ashfords comments in LB 62 in 2008 I believe, harassment orders upheld regardless if they are true or not are looked upon as Protection orders in Nebraska therefore the defendant loses his hardware until the dispute is cleared. Nice State Legislators you have here.

So in the event someone would decide to tell a lie about you and fill out the court document and be willing to go to court and swear to the court and tell a lie, You're busted ! That's what happened here... Perjury in this jurisdiction? BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... are you kidding? He only followed the law and the instructions of the law, that's the training. You know the drill.

The NSP merely sent a letter to him ..... requesting that he voluntarily surrender his CWP, they stated that they couldn't suspend or revoke unless the county attorney filed a civil action to retrieve the CWP. He never filed and the CWP remained with the holder in spite of being instructed as per Nebraska Law to eliminate his hardware from his premises.

I appreciate your willingness to comment. This guy has NEVER flashed anything nor does he walk around with a stick, it's a corrosive, and corrupt society and they have selectively targeted this guy and he simply is fighting back in spite of the.........   " Family " who are in control of the council and has been for over 14 years with this chairman, and more family in the past. It's interesting here One stands for something............... and watch the cowards defame.

How do you know he's never flashed a weapon or carried a bat/stick?  Are you with him 24/7?  Or is "he" you?  If you're assuming this because you were told by him, then that's just his side of the story.  He could be blowing smoke up your backside to get another person "on his side".  Other than that, everything you claim as truth is merely speculation, not fact, until proven otherwise.

Well let's do this then, To be kind, and truthful, I have say, I've seen him with a baseball bat, He likes to play baseball, so in playing ball I guess, yes I've seen him with a baseball bat, but not walking through town to be crystal clear. I have to say this too, to answer your snide question, Yes I've seen him with sticks in his hands. He cuts firewood and cuts trees etc, so yes I've seen him with a stick in his hand... but not walking thru town. Hell I've seen him with a chain saw in his hand too, and an ink pen, pop can, wrench, hammer... the list goes on and on.

 Now, the town is a very small place, there have been incidents where he has actually been attacked ( sheriffs reports have been filed ) physically...... and he not once displayed his weapon nor had drawn it. There are a lot of people In the community that know him and know he hasn't drawn, or displayed. Unless you want to consider open carry display. Understand that he's not looking for anyone to be " on his side " He's a big boy, he could really care less, besides the fact he knows where he's at, and by the way that's simply childish and even for you to state. I have to tell you that I've had conversations with him and he scoffs when it's mentioned getting fellow Nebraskan to wake up and stand. In Nebraska?  Not everyone cares if there's many on their sides or not. This is one. If one is within the boundaries of the law, and maintains that position, who gives a rats tail how many are on his side? He isn't here to please you, or anyone. He'll tell you that too. He'll be kind until it's time NOT to be kind. Like most normal people. 

There was one incident where a local, in his late 30's was standing across the street from Mr. L. cussing and throwing rocks in his direction. He ( Mr. L ) was armed, open carry. He was dodging flying rocks, and not once reached for his weapon. I believe a sheriffs report was filed and there were witnesses.

Interestingly enough this rock thrower was a local, who was going to criminal justice school and had a big head because he wanted to be a State Patrolman..... yuk yuk... He didn't like Mr. L's presence because he was..... an outsider. He drives a concrete truck last time seen, the LE profession went on the wayside, he moved and divorced..... again. The LE profession needs professionals, with dignity and dedication with the ability to utilize common rational thought process. Who want to live up to the  " Protect and to Serve " moto. Throwing rocks at an armed man..... and he want's to be a cop? Now that's rich..... LMAO...

Many of us know the guy, Mr. L, and he's nothing like the picture that's painted. Just to make myself crystal clear.... so you can rest assured, what I'm telling you is FACT not speculation.

Oh by the way " To Protect and To Serve " you do know that's out the window don't you? The job is NOT to protect and to serve anymore......   Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981)
Maybe this is a contributing factor as to why we don't see " To Protect and to Serve " on cop car's today?

Just to ask a question RKBA tie in? Please define. Stop with the innuendo and gossip? Really?  :laugh:

Obviously you haven't any knowledge or understanding of Fairbury, Alexandria and the locals there.

Your statement is incorrect. Anyone moves to town in Alexandria, ANYONE, who is NOT a member of the local tribal family is disliked and selectively targeted. Regardless how likable they are. Now chief read that sentence over and over until it sinks in, it might take a while.

In the event you might want to take the time, the Alexandria village meetings are videoed and on youtube, for all to view, I.A.W. 84-1411 and 84-1412 I will be most happy to provide you with some typical Nebraska stupidity if you wish.

June 2013 village meeting, You will hear Council members wife, Kristine Van Westen, stand and demand for an ordinance stating that if you are a Sex offender you can't live in the village anymore.... PERIOD!!

July 2013 the ordinance was put together and voted upon the first time. August the ACLU jumped in and threatened to file suit of 500 grand towards the Village and 50 grand in the living rooms of each and every council member. Sept 2013 meeting which is online....the council retreated like cowards and refused to vote on the ordinance, then the chairman Steve Deger, raised his hand and stated. " This issue will be revisited in the near future".....

BE ADVISED this situation was in the Lincoln Journal, the Omaha Times and the San Francisco Herald

It's all online chief. Understand I'm NOT trying to be snide, just factual.

Since this situation started Deger and his life partner moved to Fairbury..... I guess the heat in the kitchen was excessive.

You're partially correct. There is some BS here, however, it's NOT with this guy. Is it your position that if one is being encroached upon and if he pushes back, he's looking for a fight? If this is your position then you might consider on adjustment. There's not many MEN today who are willing to Call it like they see it, He does. Black is black white is white and bullbutter is flat out bullbutter. He'll call it. Deal with it.

Real simple, He was asked by some to get on the council, He signed an affidavit with another guy in August of 2014 to be a write in candidate, He knew he wasn't going to win a position due to the caustic family togetherness. That's when the fun began, his property was more than a few times riddled with debris, flyers with his picture were passed out all over town with the Heading. " You should know your candidates " ...let's see this was slander, defamation of character and Yes Libel. Legal's on it. Then the harassment orders from a resident who's 71 and best friends with the council chair and head of the community club on the 15th of Oct 2014, then on the 16th two more women, a neighbor of the council chairman, approxiomately 40 whom he's filed suit against for remodeling work done in 2013, the Council chairman's sister also, an easy 85 years old. It was curious that all three of these females were in the court house the same time on the 16th when the two later females filed harassment orders. Of course the first petitioner had to be there to provide transportation for the 85 year old. Many can see conspiracy here, it's clear.

By the way the attorney destroyed the claims of the petitioners. There were several in court, But interestingly enough the judge, who seems to be a clear man hater, and who has little respect for by any attorney who has gone before her allowed the harassment orders to stand. Situations like this is where the judicial system is a joke....... It's NOT about Common Law.... It's not about Equity Law.... it's simply Just-US.

Just to let you know, there are several attorneys in this district who will not even consider taking a case to go before this judge, because she's irrational and unreasonable and clearly biased to many.

You're partially correct. There is some BS here, however, it's NOT with this guy. Is it your position that if one is being encroached upon and if he pushes back, he's looking for a fight? If this is your position then you might consider on adjustment. There's not many MEN today who are willing to Call it like they see it, He does. Black is black white is white and bullbutter is flat out bullbutter. He'll call it. Deal with it.

Uhhhh I live in the area and know many of the players.... beside the fact that a lot of this is video of council meetings ONLINE!! It's not rocket science. I mean even Nebraskan's should be able to see what's going on, if the heads not up and locked.   ;)

Rick has been in contact with myself and the BoD for quite some time.  I have been following/ monitoring the ordeal for some time now, waiting for Mr. Laughinghouse to post his story here.
I'd have to go back thru my notes, but I believe the 2A concern here is that was asked/told to hand over all firearms although there was seemingly no crime committed that required confiscation.
