AZ phony pleads guilty

| August 20, 2010

The Arizona Republic reports that phony soldier Kurt Bishop pleaded guilty in an Arizona court to two counts of falsifying documents to escape charges for 34 violations of the Stolen Valor Act.

Kurt A. Bishop, 42, of Queen Creek, was indicted in April on 34 counts related to fraudulent claims that he was decorated in the Army with a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Ranger Tab and numerous other honors.

Dude did 20 years in the Army, yet still had to create a story to get free pie or something.

“It was never done for pecuniary gain,” the attorney said. “Kurt is a man of God who selflessly served his country for more than 20 years. He’s certainly not some seasoned criminal. . . . He was simply looking for acceptance and, unfortunately, it snowballed out of control.”

Yeah, it doesn’t matter why he did it, it only matters that he lied.

So, this “man of God” bore false witness against himself?

Yeah see, I really don’t give a shit, dude is a liar. If he wanted a ranger tab, he should have just gone to the school.

Paladini said the false awards were somehow entered in Bishop’s military personnel file, causing the lie to be repeated over the years.

They just accidentally somehow got in there? Bullshit!

To serve 20 years and still stoop to this is the worst kind of assbag…

That’s ok, Jonn, lies are freedom of speech these days. If I were his attorney, I would appeal on those grounds. We know how judges in Colorado and the 9th Circuit feel, so it’s only a matter of time before every no-load pus-nuts out there starts using that argument in their defense.
