Brian Johnson Organized a Day of Harassment Which Ended in Assault.

Starting at 6:25 a.m. about 7 to 9 guys drilled holes with power augers (no silencers) all around my house. I have never seen Brian Johnson ice-fishing around my house in the entire 24 years since I bought the property.

As far as I could see, there was nobody else on the rest of the lake (south side) besides the guys all around my house.

The commotion was clearly organized and meant to intimidate. I don’t know exactly when they started drinking.
In the picture below they are having what seems to be breakfast around 8 a.m.
From left to right: Thug, who assaulted me later, talking to Brian Johnson; Brian Johnson; Unknown guy facing to the left; guy who later threatened to smash my friend’s camera (standing in front of another guy and facing to the right); coward who covered his face after the assault described further down and giving my friend the finger using derogatory language after the assault (extreme right). From-left-to-right, thug who assaulted me talking to Brian Johnson.
You would think that there should be a picture where they don’t drink. But it was impossible to take one, unless they where peeing and didn’t have a free hand to hold onto the beer bottle or can.  Brian Johnson breaking the open container law.
Persons may not drive while drinking from an open container of an alcoholic beverage. To do so may result in a fine for not more than $500. M.G.L.c.90, s.24I.

Some individuals claimed in comments that I would be "stalking" Brian Johnson. But, as you can see, it is the other way around! I did not even have to leave the comfort of my house to take the pictures shown here.
Brian Johnson seems to be drawn to my house; so is Michael Rutkowski, his sons, and all his and Brian’s drinking buddies.

Last year, the binge drinking ended in a horrific accident; the Holland Blog reported about the accident in the piece, Ice fishing (drinking) accident on Hamilton Reservoir.
Michael Rutkowski was there a year ago as a paramedic, on Saturday he was indulging in some heavy drinking himself. Michael Rutkowski drinking a Bud Light beer.
Brian Johnson’s mob drove by my house revving up their engines like young kids driving their first car. One of Brian’s thugs sprayed the words "EAT ME" on his snow plow and parked it always in a way that the sign was directed towards my house. For those readers who are not familiar with my house, my house sits at the very tip of a peninsula surrounded by water. One pillar supporting the house sits actually in the water. The shoreline of Hamilton Reservoir is only about 5 feet away from my house on three sides. Sign-on-quad-of-member-of-the Brian-Johnson-mob.
All day long they couldn’t let go of their cans/bottles, even if they drove around with their quads. Brian Johnson holding a beer bottle in his hand.
Around 3 p.m. some of the guys trespassed my property and I went up there and told them to stay of my property. At the same time, I picked up my mail and put my garbage to the curbside.
I walked back to my house the shortest distance where I always walk (when the ice is safe) which leads over the water. Brian Johnson and his mob of six positioned themselves right in the midst of the path on the ice to my house. As I walked towards them, Brian Johnson said something I couldn't understand. I asked, “are you talking to me? ”He then said, “sn't there somebody else in the house?”

As I walked by them, Brian Johnson said repeatedly in a threatening way, “get the fuck out of here, RIGHT NOW!!” (I was just walking to my house where I always walk, in a direct line to my house!)
The thug with camouflage jacket to Brian’s right is the guy who took of his jacket to get ready for a fist fight with me. He seems to be very brave with six other thugs of Brian’s gang behind him.
When I walked by him instead of engaging him, he assaulted me. He kicked me in the back of my legs so I fell backwards on the ice. Brian Johnson was positioning himself — while I was laying on the ice — to kick me in my face. I told the Brian Johnson gang that they would be videotaped and they froze immediately. I walked back to my house and called 911. Officer Bean and Sergeant Jeffrey Forcier of the Holland Police Department arrived a while later. The seven thugs were still here.

Pictured below:
Brian Johnson, this time with a beer can in his hand. Brian with guy to his right who assaulted me.
As I never saw the assailant before, I suggested to Sergeant Jeffrey Forcier and Officer Bean to go over to the guys standig arround Brian Johnson to get a possitive identification of the assailant with name.
Officer Forcier refused stating,

"I do not want to escalate the situation.."

I responded, "how can the situation escalate with two police officers present?" But he had made up his mind and refused.

Please help identify the thug pictured below so I can press charges for assault against this punk. This thug is pictured in each picture shown in this piece, exept the picture of Brian Johnson holding onto his beer bottle driving his quad.
If you know his name, call Holland Police or call me, or leave a comment with his name, thanks! Thug who assaulted me.

SCARY... the real BRIAN JOHNSON.


SCARY...-the-real-BRIAN-J-JOHNSON After Presiding Justice Honorable Patricia T. Poehler of the Palmer District Court issued a “Criminal Harassment Prevention Order” against Brian Johnson’s employee and neighbor Alexander Haney, Justice Poehler will decide whether Brian Johnson is a threat to my safety as well.
A hearing is scheduled for April 7, 2011, during which Justice Poehler will decide whether the issuance of a Criminal Harassment Prevention Order should issue against Brian Johnson.

As I reported in the piece, “Brian Johnson Organized a Day of Harassment Which Ended in Assault,” Brian Johnson’s attempts to shut me up by intimidating, harassing, and threatening me, now escalated into perpetrating raw violence towards me.

But that’s not all, Instead of accepting responsibility for his conduct exposed here on the Holland Blog, he and his gang not only assaulted and battered me, Brain Johnson and his gang also conspired against me by making false statements to the investigating police officers.
Corporal Jeffrey Forcier of the HPD, wrote in his report:

Johnson [Brian] said he felt threatened by Frei because Frei said "Stay off my property or I’ll fucking kill you". Johnson told me he was concerned for his safety because of this threat.
While some cowards lie to keep themselves out of trouble, Brian Johnson took it to the next level and accused ME of a crime!

The assault by Brian Johnson’s Highway Gang on my person that took place on February 19, 2011, just yards from my house, will have consequences for Brian Johnson and the assailant pictured below, believed to be Al West.
Thug who assaulted me.


This might be surprising for many members of our community as sociopaths have an ability to appear normal towards individuals who do not pose a threat of exposing their true character, but Brian Johnson did the same before! I reported the incidence in the piece, Our elected Highway Superintendent a liar?

Brian Johnson is very familiar with the provision of G.L. chapter 275 section 2, under which the threat to commit a crime is actionable, and so am I.
Brian used said provision successfully to criminalize James LaMountain back in 2008.

Brian Johnson made the false statement to Forcier before he learned that I recorded audio while the assault took place and before he knew that I’m able to prove that he and the rest of his gang were lying to Forcier and Beane.

Pictured below:
To the very left, officer Beane HPD; third from left, Brian Johnson, still holding on to yet another beer can; fifth from left, Corporal Forcier (white pans) HPD.
The picture shows eight individuals besides Beane and Forcier, the incident report and Frocier’s narrative only mentions six individuals. Corporal  Forcier and Officer Beane talking to Brian Johnson and his gang after the assault and battery.
Brian was smart enough NOT to dig himself a bigger hole by following through and file a complaint against me, a sure thing — if his allegations were true — as he had at least six gang members (“witnesses” ready to lie for Brian) with him out on the ice that day.
According to Forcier’s report, Brian’s statement also made clear that my alleged threat could not have been missed by Brian’s gang. Brian, according to Forcier’s report, allegedly stated also:

Frei had come out on to the ice and was yelling at the group [...]
The same criminal conduct — conspiracy to commit a crime, and the crime of making false statements to a police officer — was perpetrated against me before by Brian Johnson.
I reported about that incident in the piece, Our elected Highway Superintendent a liar?

To grasp the magnitude of Brian Johnson’s sinister plan he and his gang put in motion on February 19, 2011, to give me a good “gang beating,” or even kill me, it is necessary that the reader of the Holland Blog looks at the Google map I made.
This map shows the conspicuous location Brian and his gang choose to put their ominous plan into action. The map also shows pictures of locations and gives explanations. Please click here, to view the map.

Brian’s choice to ice-fish around my house was no coincident, even to the uninformed.

Brian and his gang arrived early that morning, it was around 6:25 hours.
I never left the house until 15:04 hours. At that time, Brian Johnson and his gang were on the ice for 8-1/2 hours. Two men trespassed over my property and I ran up my private way, intercepted the two men, and sent them back.

Before I went outside, my girlfriend voiced her concern that Brian and his gang could hurt me. At the time, I thought that she is exaggerating; harassing us by drilling holes all around my house, revving up quads and the like is one thing, to resort to raw violence, another! So I thought...

Was I wrong!
Fortunately I listened to her and recorded audio while she was going to videotape from the house, just in case.

Brian Johnson‘s (former) “Super Lawyer” Tani Sapirstein tried to dupe the Court.

During the first session of the hearing for my request to the Palmer District Court to issue a “Criminal Harassment Prevention Order” against our elected Highway Surveyor Brian Johnson, I requested to play the audio recording of the assault and battery of February 19, 2011.

The audio proves my testimony and exposes Brian Johnson and his gang as liars.

Brian Johnson’s lawyer, Tani Sapirstein, objected pointing to the fact that Brian Johnson did not consent to the audio recording and that the audio recording therefore was illegally obtained and therefore inadmissible. Under the Massachusetts wiretap statute, G.L. c.271, s.99, any recording of speech without the consent of all participating parties is illegal.

Brian Johnson left the courthouse after the first hearing back on April 7 with a big smirk on his face.

Presiding Justice Honorable Patricia T. Poehler gave me an opportunity to argue my point in a memorandum and submit it at the next hearing, the hearing which took place last Thursday, May 12.

Every child watching movies involving criminal trials knows that evidence obtained illegally is inadmissible, right? I’m sure most remember the “Dirty Harry” movies in which “Dirty” Harry Callahan portrayed by Clint Eastwood over and over failed to bring criminal punks to justice because the procurement of evidence he collected was in violation of the constitutional rights even criminals enjoy.

Clint-Eastwood-as-“Dirty-Harry”

These movies became iconic because they were a portrayal of social protests, pointing out that it was easier for the justice system to protect potential suspects ahead of enforcing the rights of victims while ignoring citizens who were in danger or who had been murdered. Repeatedly evidence collected by blunt-speaking, unorthodox detective Dirty Harry where tossed out or where inadmissible because they where obtained illegally.

In my memorandum of law, I point out that the protection against unreasonable search and seizures granted to all citizens under the Forth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution does only protect private citizens from members of the government and not from other private citizens.

Any evidence collected by a private individual is therefore admissible, even if the evidence was obtained illegally. Case law by the U.S. Supreme Court, Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Appeals Court of the Commonwealth, are consistent with this view.
See my memorandum.

Brian Johnson’s “Super Lawyer” Tani Sapirstein of course disagreed and tried to dupe the Court. She claimed that under the plain language of c.271, s.99(C)(2), any recording would be inadmissible in any judicial proceeding.
Justice Poehler looked at me, and I said:
“Your honor, that’s not in there!”

As a judge, if you have a (former) “Super Lawyer” telling you something, and some guy with a ponytail who is not a lawyer is telling you something else, whom do you believe??

It was refreshing to see that Honorable Justice Poehler was not going to be duped, not even by a (former) Super Lawyer. Justice Poehler asked her clerk, “why don’t you get me a copy of section 99 from the law library..”

Just minutes later, Honorable Justice Poehler started reading s.99(C)(2):

“Editing of tape recordings in judicial proceedings prohibited. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section any person who willfully edits, alters or tampers with any tape ...”

She then looked at Tani Sapirstein and Sapirstein didn’t even blush, (Sapirstein failed to mention that subsection (C)(2) pertained to “edited” recordings.)
I guess Sapirstein crossed that line Matt Damon talks about at the end of the movie “Rainmaker” so many times that it became second nature to her.

In “Rainmaker,” Matt Damon plays a young inexperienced lawyer, attorney Rudy Baylor, who wins a big case and ends the movie with the statement:
"Every lawyer, at least once in every case, feels himself crossing a line he doesn't really mean to cross. ... And if you cross it enough times it disappears forever. And then you're nothin' but another lawyer joke. Just another shark in the dirty water."

The fact that Sapirstein needs to resource to making up her own statutes in a last ditch effort to keep the audio out speaks for itself.
I can’t see how Sapirstein will be able to overcome my memorandum which lays out the real law and not her warped interpretation.
I expect to be able to play the recording during the next continuance to expose Brian Johnson’s lies.

Last Thursday, Brian Johnson was not accompanied by his buddy and employee John Folger and officer Bean was also not with him; his wife was the only person other then Sapirstein who accompanied him.
The continuance of the hearing is scheduled for May 19, 2011, at 15:00 hours.

Another Day in Court, Brian Johnson’s lawyer Tani Sapirstein Filed Motion to Dismiss.

Earlier today, a hearing was scheduled in Palmer District Court to hear Brian Johnson’s Lawyer Tani Sapirstein’s motion to dismiss my request to issue a “Criminal Harassment Prevention Order” against Brian Johnson to protect me from further harassment.
I field the request back on March 15, 2011, and the hearing started on April 7th and was continued on May 12th, May 19th, June 9th, June 16th, June 23rd, and again on July 28th.
The Rules of Civil Procedures, rule 41(b)(2) provides an opportunity to file a motion for involuntary dismissal after the plaintiff rests his case. To get a “Criminal Harassment Prevention Order” issued, a plaintiff needs to prove three incidents of harassment; I have seven documented incidents whereby Brian Johnson harassed me. And above all, I have the audio recording which proves Brian Johnson to be a liar (he claimed towards the police, Officer Jeffrey Forcier, that it was me who harassed him and also that I made a death treat towards him). All these claims are blatant lies, lies exposed by the audio recording I made of the encounter on the ice back on February 19th, 2011.
Sapirstein is grasping for straws filing her motion.
I started my opposition to her motion with, “Defendant’s rule 41(b)(2) motion is, for a lack of a better word, grotesque!” I end my argument with, “[t]o expect this court to grant defendant’s rule 41(b)(2) motion under the given circumstances and Brian Johnson’s utter lack of credibility would be contrary to the legislature’s intent expressed in G.L. chapter 258E.”
Attorney Tani Sapirstein in return questioned my credibility because I insisted that the ice was not slippery on February 19th, 2011... (Officer Forcier testified that the ice was too slippery and he could not go out there on the ice for that reason when I requested to point-out the assailant.)
As everybody knows, we had an extreme winter and a lot of snow. The ice was snow-covered and as such, you walked on snow and not on ice on that February 19th, 2011.
Both sides gave their oral argument, Sapirstein went first. Brian Johnson and his wife attended the hearing as well. Honorable Justice Patricia Poehler presided over the hearing and took the motion under advisement. I will publish her decision here as soon as Justice Poehler made her decision.
