UPDATE -- After a full week of promoting the Free Fairbanks facebook vigilante group, the fundraisers, and endless stream of articles sympathetic to vigilante killer James Fairbanks, only after an entire week of all this does the Turd-Herald say that vigilante murder is wrong. No takebacks here. Where was this editorial a week ago?
Original - It is a rarity that I choose to nominate an entire news outlet as opposed to a single reporter, but it is not without precedent. The Omaha paper is so full of shit, I've dubbed them the Omaha Turd-Herald.
Over the past 2 days, the Turd-Herald has published articles sympathizing with James Fairbanks, a man who abused the Nebraska Registry and influenced by a Facebook vigilante group to commit cold-blooded murder.
Below are just a couple of exerpts from a couple of the articles. There are more and i'm sure there are plenty of links on the article to more reports, but the Turd Herald has done everything it can to demonize the registrant and canonize the murderer.

Laura Smith created a Facebook group to warn others about the convicted sex offender.
She wrote in June 2016 that Condoluci preys on the single mother “to get his hands on her children.”
“He must be stopped,” she added. “He has been convicted twice but back on the streets.”...
When Smith discovered that Condoluci had been found slain in Omaha on Saturday, she reignited her postings in the group.
“Flush that POS remains down the toilet and save the tax payers money,” she wrote the day after Condoluci’s body was found. “Justice served!”

Fairbanks has no history of violent crimes, according to a review of court records, but his ex-wife, Kelly Tamayo, applied for protection orders against him in 2016 and 2018 while they were going through a divorce.
Tamayo said Tuesday that her ex-husband “called me yesterday afternoon and told me what he had done and that he was turning himself in to police.”
Fairbanks, she said, “was apologetic and asked me to tell the kids that he loved them.”
...
The writer of the email, sent to The World-Herald and other local news media outlets, claimed to have shot Condoluci after learning that he was listed on Nebraska’s sex offender registry. The author said he or she was apartment hunting in the neighborhood where Condoluci lived and learned of him while investigating the neighborhood.
“We are all in shock to say the least,” said Tamayo, who divorced Fairbanks in 2016. “Jim is a protector. He has worked with vulnerable kids his entire career. He took it very personally to protect his kids and other kids from (sex) offenders like that man was.”
Tamayo, who said she has a doctorate in psychology, said she thinks Fairbanks was “overwhelmed by the thought that this man was going to offend again.” He most likely was living in fear of that possibility, she said.
“He would have been that way because the penal system fails to rehabilitate these individuals,” she said. “They just put them back in our neighborhoods.”...

ReplyDeleteUpdate the Omaha World Herald has just issued a new statement on their editorial page condemning the Killer for bypassing the Law. But now they are comparing Fairbanks to the Georgia Killer who killed a black man with racial allegations at play.

ReplyDeleteOn the evening of May 14, 2020, in Omaha, Nebraska, James Fairbanks went to the home of Mattieo Condoluci and shot him dead. Condoluci, 64, was a twice convicted pedophile, and Fairbanks, 43, had spent years working with troubled kids in the Omaha Public School system.
After the body was discovered, the dead man's daughter, Amanda Henry, was quoted saying, "Murdering my dad was a horrible thing, but children are much safer now."
Fairbanks is now charged with first-degree murder.
During an emotional phone call with Henry, she told me of her father's death: "I was relieved. It finally happened. It's over. It has been hell."
And then Henry told me what life had been like with Mattieo Condoluci.
"I was beaten and raped by my own father for years," she said. "The man who was supposed to protect me instead belittled, humiliated and tortured me until I finally escaped at age 19." This, she told me, is why she is now supporting the man who killed her father.
"James Fairbanks answered a 27-year-long prayer for me," Henry said. "He was there when the police weren't there. He did something when the police didn't."
Henry described how her mother had fought valiantly to maintain custody of her 2-year-old daughter but lost touch when Condoluci took off with the toddler.
While Henry has tried to block out much of her early nomadic years with Dad — they moved to several different cities in California, Florida, New Mexico, Iowa and Nebraska — she remembers her father routinely preyed on single mothers with young children. "He would find a lost soul, bring her home and then do his devil's work," she said.
In 1994, Condoluci pleaded no contest in Florida to molesting the 5-year-old son of a woman he was dating. His sentence? Four years' probation. In 2006, by then relocated to Nebraska, Condoluci was sentenced to five years in prison for sexually assaulting the 12-year-old daughter of another woman in his life. He served less than two years.
Around the same time, Henry says she was befriended by a licensed counselor and foster mother who encouraged her to report her father to the Omaha Police Department. Henry says the Omaha Police Department told her she had waited too long; the statute of limitations had run out.
Today, others, most notably, two of Henry's female cousins, have posted on a "Free James Fairbanks" Facebook page that they were sexually abused by "Uncle Matt," and they are supporting his killer. One told me: "I was raped till I was 13 years old. It started when I was 7."
In a confession Fairbanks distributed to the local media before his arrest, he explained that while looking for a new apartment, he had checked the sex registry for a particular neighborhood and found Condoluci's name. Fairbanks admitted he had watched the convict pretending to wash his car while ogling a group of children playing in the street.

ReplyDeleteHere is the video of James Fairbanks a full interview by KMTV
Fairbanks is a complete fucktard. He already freely admitted he went to Condoluci's home with the intent of "stopping" him and had "the means to do so." That's intent. That's all that is needed for First Degree Murder here in Nebraska. The fact he used the registry and a Facebook vigilante group to help plan his crime is an aggravated circumstance when can trigger the death penalty.

DeleteHere is more and KMTV did an interview on the Daughter of Condoluci
OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — The daughter of Omaha sex offender Mattieo Condoluci, who was killed in May, is speaking out about the years of abuse she endured from her father.
Amanda Henry says she was molested by her father as a child.
We spoke with her shortly after she'd learned of her father's death, but in a recent interview with Court TV, Henry says she was terrified of her father.
In May, Henry told us she didn't have any ill will toward James Fairbanks, the man who has been charged with her father's murder.
Condoluci was found dead inside his home near 43rd and Pinkney in mid-May.
Prosecutors say Fairbanks sent an anonymous email to all local media -- including KMTV -- confessing to killing Condoluci.
In his letter, Fairbanks says he learned of Condoluci's past and couldn't let him victimize any more children.
Henry, who tells us she hadn't spoken to her dad since the last time he was arrested for child molestation in 2006, says she was terrified of her father.
"I've had to live in fear for 34 years, and it has been the worst pain that I could imagine… and so when I finally got the phone call, yes, I was relieved," says Henry.
Fairbanks is charged with 1st-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony. His pretrial is set for August 19th.

DeleteUpdate James Fairbanks just got convicted for murder on Condoluci. Yes James Fairbanks is sentenced to 40-70 years in Prison. Fairbanks will play the Patrick Drum card and say ooh its hero blaming to investigate the death of Condoluci but in some cases the vigilante will end up more paranoid than even the rape victims that he claims to be protecting??
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2007/dec/29/victim-finds-freedom-in-forgiveness/
Case and point Eve Vasquez in this link attempted to remain sane during both the rape case and the death of her abuser. However the vigilante ended up more insane Michael A Mullen and even in death after he killed the people he said were rapists.

Apparently James Fairbanks don't understand that its "Petty Criminals" who reoffend the most because they are homeless, race and mentally ill.

ReplyDeleteWell Fairbanks want the Duterte style justice here in the USA. However that may not work in the USA given the situation we are in today.
Yes There is a Death Squad killing people who they accuse of Rapists and Drug Dealers.

In the long term if the USA had James Fairbanks as President then you would end up with rebel disputes similar to the Irish Republican army
