| Clark Aposhian stands with his arm on his truck |
Third District Judge Andrew Stone denied a protective order request from Aposhian’s ex-wife, Natalie Meyer, last Tuesday and ruled the woman has no reason to fear the gun lobbyist.There are three cases that have been pending against Aposhian, all stemming from one incident in which he showed up to pick up his 11 year old daughter in a 2.5 ton surplus military truck. In June, he was ordered to surrender all of his firearms within 24 hours. Aposhian's lawyer has always contended that the charges were false. Now, eight months later, a judge has ruled that no protective order is justified. It seems likely that Aposhian will be vindicated in the ongoing domestic abuse case stemming from the same incident.
These sort of actions have become expected by men who own guns in divorce cases. Lawyers know that they have a large lever to make the lives of the opposition miserable. I have had a lawyer friend tell me of instances where unscrupulous men have used the amendment to disarm their former wives and girlfriends as well.Aposhian still faces misdemeanor domestic violence charges in Holladay Justice Court, but his attorneys hope Stone’s ruling, which states there was no abuse or criminal trespassing on the Meyers’ property, will help them in fighting that case.
"The court’s recent ruling clearly vindicates Mr. Aposhian," defense attorney Morgan Philpot said in a written statement provided to The Tribune. "Mr. Aposhian now looks forward to resuming the process of clearing up the residue of false allegations and returning to focus on his family and relationship with his daughter."
The judge was careful to let Aposhian's ex-wife, Natalie Meyer, who was remarried and living with her new husband when the original incident occurred, down gently:Stone pointed out that Meyer never mentioned any ongoing emotional or verbal abuse in her divorce filings.
The judge also wrote that despite having a mutual restraining order that instructed both Aposhian and Meyer to communicate strictly through email, Meyer elected to waive those protections "for some time," interacted with Aposhian in person and maintained a joint-custody arrangement with their daughter.
"The Court accepts Ms. Meyer’s testimony that she has found her interactions with Mr. Aposhian since her separation upsetting, intimidating and annoying," Stone wrote in his ruling. "That does not lead to a conclusion that they will escalate to violence."The question is: how does Clark Aposhian get his reputation back?
They were having custody differences at the time of the incident.
The Truck rocks....
I looked into getting one. The surplus ones tend to be underpowered, and have a hard time going faster than 50 mph.
Yabut, can you run it on single malt Scotch and push over trees?
Most, but not all, U.S. traffic, and family law courts are nothing more or less than Kangaroo Courts. Actually calling them Kangaroo Courts is being generous.
I learned to drive in a not too dissimilar truck back in the 60’s. You could put it in creeper, and climb a cliff in it!
In this case as in virtually ALL family court cases the man
lost....the man loses in 99.9% of these cases. Even when
the man WINS and the judge rules the wife’s claims are utter and complete bullshi*t the man still loses. He loses because he’s been robbed of his time, his dignity, his reputation and most of all THOUSANDS of dollars in legal fees. Fees that he will NEVER recover. This insanity is no
different from all the other abuses heaped on people by
the system, it will persist and expand until stopped by the
shedding of blood.....the blood of the abusers. In this case
the judicial pirates who oversee this travesty.
Yes. You can climb over a 3 foot vertical obstical. That is the military standard. Very impressive. They get about 5 miles per gallon. I am still thinking of getting one for a business that I am considering.
I used to have an F-250 with a Borg Warner T-19 with a really low first gear. It also had a 460.
There was a mountain road in Western N.C. which was about as steep as one will ever see. It was just about a mile to the top or from the top to the pavement.
Out of curiosity, I one time climbed it and went back down without touching the brakes or accelerator. No real problems going up in first but it got a little exciting going down due to the rear wheels slipping.on the rocks.
Decks are stacked against you ??
There are no decks to stack...you’re a man, you are always wrong, you are dangerous, and did I mention that you are always wrong.
When you accept that as fact, your life will get easier.
” I am still thinking of getting one for a business that I am considering.”
yeah. My Dad bought his surplus for his home building business. What was it called, a 6X6? Thing was a blast!
