Conservative Blogger Who Tried To Smear Michael Brown Gets A Taste Of His Own Medicine
Charles C. Johnson, a blogger who runs GotNews and previously contributed to the Daily Caller, propagated false information on Twitter claiming that Michael Brown, the slain teenager from Ferguson, Missouri, was involved in a murder.
[su_center_ad]Johnson filed requests to see Michael Brown‘s alleged juvenile crime records, and he came up empty. So, of course, he’s now going after the records of Brown’s family members.
Johnson is getting a taste of his own medicine and it doesn’t taste very good.
Shaun King posted a court document on Twitter which said Johnson had been convicted of child molestation, except it wasn’t the same Charles Johnson, so he deleted his tweets.
“I not only not have a juvenile record, I’ve never gotten in trouble ever,” Johnson told The Mirror in a phone conversation. “Nobody even gave me a strong talking to in school.”
The same can be said of Michael Brown, who Johnson has been trying to smear.
The Daily Caller reports, “Johnson warned King repeatedly on Twitter to stop calling him a child molester. “[I said] look dude you’ve gotta stop calling me a child molester,” explained Johnson. “So he doubled down and said I committed a felony in Mississippi..that I paid a reverend to lie. So he’s coming after me and it’s kind of hilarious. I warned him repeatedly.”
Johnson asserted on Twitter in August, “Confirmed earlier report that #MichaelBrown had juvenile arrest record involving second degree murder….working on getting report. #Ferguson.”
That lie garnered 505 retweets on Twitter and quite a few Conservative sites picked it up and presented it as fact. Shaun King deleted his Tweets about Johnson when he discovered it was the wrong man, however, Johnson did not delete or apologize for declaring Michael Brown to be a murderer.
So now he’s suing because his fee fees are hurt.
My understanding of California law is that when someone knowingly publishes a fake document they can go to jail…

Hey Charles, I have screenshots of your tweets, too.
@shaunking deleted tweets calling me a child molester. Too bad I screenshot them & will be using them in court.

Hey @ShaunKing. We are filing suit today or tomorrow. I’m coming for all of your company. The more retweets you get the higher the damages.
— Charles C. Johnson (@ChuckCJohnson) September 4, 2014
Please send me Shaun King’s tweets. He has blocked me on Twitter. Need more for malicious intent.

You can’t sue someone for saying mean things about you on Twitter, Charles. Especially after he circulated the worst lie he could fabricate about a slain, unarmed black teenager.
He also created a FundMe page in order to delve into Michael Brown’s background. As for Johnson’s background, it’s wide open. The blogger who claims to live in California, appears to live in Boston. At least, that’s what his phone number indicates. [su_sky_ad]

Gee, the slime doesn’t like slime, what a surprise!!

He really is a reprehensible little scrote. You just know that he was bullied as a child

The fetid odor emanating from that ass-hat lingers far from its source..
Guy Lauten September 4th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
Some people are saying he’s gay… (not there’s anything WRONG with that!).
Anomaly 100 September 4th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Not gay. He’s attracted to hamsters.
mea_mark September 4th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
Not hamsters, gerbils.
granpa.usthai September 4th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
gerbils are OK, but hamster molestation is almost as evil as they are.
mrsgunka September 4th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
Ah, yes, the old gerbil fetish. Indeed. Indeed.
R.J. Carter September 5th, 2014 at 9:20 am
“In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the gerbil.”
granpa.usthai September 4th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
hamster molestation should be illegal too!
mrsgunka September 4th, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Been following him over at Charles Johnson @Little Green Footballs. Boy, he has a lot more intimidation coming his way. He really is a creep. Hope they keep it up and he will finally shut up with all his lies!
granpa.usthai September 4th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
another privie little WHITE boy with NO criminal past. Sometimes it makes me wonder if maybe they were treated with just the slightest ittsy bittsy TOTALLY FAVORED.?
By damn, if the criminal records show that a Charles Johnson has been arrested as a child molester, then a Charles Johnson has been arrested as a child molester. Maybe this Charles Johnson would like to consider changing his name to Manson or something?

Just going to leave this right here 617 429 4718. No particular reason, just think the numbers are interesting.
Anomaly 100 September 4th, 2014 at 10:07 pm
Boston, Massachusetts. He has a gorgeous asian wife (not sure how he pulled that off). I’m not saying that I’m digging into his past or anything….
We all have secrets.

That’s the only thing that would make sense.
Mo Reno September 4th, 2014 at 9:20 pm
Sorry, Charles C. Johnson. You are a now “public figure” due to your public commentary about the Ferguson Police’s murder of Michael Brown. You have cannot win your libel suit, absent a showing of “malice” which would require showing that King was “reckless in disregard for the truth.” Since the names were the same, King only made a “mistake” and had no “actual malice.” Plus, taking down the document greatly bolsters King’s defense.

The law and facts are irrelevant, the outrage helps his fundraising, though!
EnuffBull September 4th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Well, I heard through RELIABLE SOURCES that Charles C. Johnson is poo poo head.
whatthe46 September 4th, 2014 at 10:29 pm
well if someone named charles johnson is an actual person that committed this disgusting crime, and this charles johnson isn’t the one in the same, why is he complaining? he only brought attention to himself even more so than the biggest lie he decided to tell. besides, king did not say “c” right? right? so he has no case. but at least he did get a taste of what it feels like (even when wrong) to accuse someone of a crime and be labled a criminal. sorry ass bastard. and i can’t be sued for my opinion charles c johnson!
juicyfruityyy September 4th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
They always say that Karma is a bitch. He needs to apologize to the Brown family. Or maybe they should take him to court.
whatthe46 September 4th, 2014 at 10:35 pm
LOL… i was just saying that as you post came in…
whatthe46 September 4th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
what’s even more disgusting is that he wants to profit on gofund… how many more bastards are going to attempt to hit the jackpot off this murdered kid. he talks about suing, i wish michael’s parents can sue his sorry ass.

Usual Conservative dipsh*t…can dish it but not take it.

Just another in a long line of small penis right wingers, who is still bitter over the fact that he was a loser in high school, and was never able to figure out how to talk any women into sleeping with him, so now he takes his frustration out on the world. This is nothing more than a a small insufficient nothing of a man shouting to the world hey look at me, I exist,. The problem for him is that outside of the right wing white nationalist cocoon of racism and ignorance, no one should care what this bottom feeder from the low end of the human gene pool thinks.
R.J. Carter September 5th, 2014 at 9:17 am
“The same can be said of Michael Brown, who Johnson has been trying to smear.”
Relevancy to the case aside: No, it can’t.
Denise September 5th, 2014 at 9:34 am
karma. I wouldn’t be surprised if the brown family attorney doesn’t due johnson for deformation of character, along with any blog that posted it as fact that michael was a murderer.
Obewon September 5th, 2014 at 10:52 am
Chuck Johnson, et al is so desperate he hacked and published a faux smear based upon Michael Brown Instagram account! http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/09/breaking-mike-browns-instagram-account-found-my-hands-my-ammunition/
The right wing is desperate to falsely rationalize Darren Wilson’s summary execution of an unarmed teenage jaywalker -as admitted by the Ferguson Police Chief and witness statements: Michael Brown was executed because a Police car door bounced back at Wilson enraging him in an unprovoked attack. http://www.vox.com/cards/mike-brown-protests-ferguson-missouri/mike-brown-shooting-facts-details
WannaFight?DamnYou! September 5th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
The problem itself isn’t even because he’s a right wing looney, but rather because he’s one of those leeches that desperately try to have their 15 minutes of fame even if it means to be a douche bag and disrespect the grief of an entire family. Karma will get him when he’s with his pants down, that’s for sure. With some luck, karma will even rape him then.
