Christiana vs. Targeted Justice



Update on the lawsuit filed by Jack Christiana, a former Board member, that was voted off from our Board of Directors.


Opinions of Targeted Justice and our attorney.

Targeted Justice responds.

A LAWSUIT was filed against Targeted Justice by John Thomas Christiana, a former Board member that was voted out.  Christiana alleges that TJ committed "crimes" by publishing our information and opinions - and that he was somehow "harmed" as a result.  We disagree.  After 17 months, no one at TJ has been charged with any crime.  The Supreme Court case "Brandenburg v. Ohio," proves the content of our website is considered "Free Speech."
                        https://legaldictionary.net/brandenburg-v-ohio/

•     The Supreme Court ruled that the Government cannot punish speech unless it is intended to incite “imminent lawless action,” and is "likely to produce such action."
  
•     Mere advocacy of a future potential crime, is not a crime.  It is Free Speech.   Hess v. Indiana.  https://mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/461/hess-v-indiana
•     Additionally:  Re-Posting publicly available information and home addresses is not a "crime."     zabasearch.com & veripages.com have been on the internet for 10+ years, posting home addresses.  They have not been charged with a crime because it is public information.  Voter registration & County property records are also public information with home addresses.
•     June 2018, NYU Professor, Sam Lavigne posts 1500 names/details of govt ICE employees on Github.  No criminal charges filed, because it is Public Information.
•                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Lavigne
•     Since 2018, Wikileaks has posted the ICE Patrol, including names, locations, resumes, etc. of 9200 govt ICE employees.  No criminal charges, because it is public information.      https://ice.wikileaks.org/    (If the webpage is blocked - see it here - https://www.targetedjustice.com/wikileaks-info.html
•   Inspite of ridiculous disinformation being spread by one source, Barrett Brown was never convicted of "doxxing."  Posting public information records is never a crime.  It is Free Speech. 
• Barrett Brown was never convicted of "doxxing."  Those charges were dropped.  The government conceded it was public information.  Brown made a plea deal.


• "In March 2014, most charges against Brown were dropped.[58]   In April 2014, it was reported that Brown had agreed to a plea bargain.[59]"

  "The trial was poised to become an important First Amendment test case, until those charges were dropped in 2013, leaving Brown to face just two charges for accessory after the fact and for obstructing the execution of a search warrant. Brown was also facing charges in a separate case related to threats he made against an FBI agent in a YouTube video."   So Barrett was never convicted of doxxing anyone.


• "He also admitted to transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, for threatening the FBI agents who were investigating him. And Brown admitted to interfering with a search warrant and to hiding his laptop computers from the FBI when they searched his mother’s home in 2012."

Here is what our Attorney said about Christiana's claims:
In a Motion for Summary Judgement (MSJ).
This is a public record. 

From the record:


"...summary judgement should be entered in favor of the Defendants (Targeted Justice) dismissing with prejudice the causes of action asserted in Plaintiff's (Christiana) FAC (First Amended Complaint) because the undisputed facts in this case establish Plaintiff's causes of action fail as a matter of law."

"At no time has Targeted Justice been contacted by the FBI or any other law enforcement agency..."

"As demonstrated in this Motion, Plaintiff (Christiana) initiated this lawsuit without reasonable cause, and his causes of action were not well grounded in fact and existing law.  Plaintiff's entire lawsuit is premised on his allegations..."

"Plaintiff (Christiana) asserts a Wrongful Termination claim despite knowing he was never employed by Targeted Justice.  Plaintiff alleges he has incurred emotional distress, despite the fact it is undisputed he was not the target of alleged crimes and was not present when the alleged crimes occurred.  Plaintiff asserts claims for Negligence and Defamation without providing cursory details supporting these claims, such as specifying the alleged negligent conduct and the defamatory statements made against him."

"Defendants (Targeted Justice) should be Awarded their Attorney's Fees."

Public information about Christiana:  

https://www.sierrawave.net/christiana-entered-plea-to-arson-faces-sentencing/

Christiana entered plea to arson, faces sentencing.
"...The last two years involved reports of Christiana vandalizing cars in the Big Pine Creek area, including broken windows and a cut brake line and gas lines. Officers accused him of breaking into a DWP cabin above the trailhead. Officers said they found Christiana with jewelry and firearms taken from that cabin.   Officers also reported that they found containers of gasoline in Christiana’s car. He was finally charged with arson. Issues of competency to stand trial came up during the course of court hearings."
