Southern Maryland Veterans Association loses appeal
We talked about the Southern Maryland Veterans Association earlier this year when the Maryland Attorney General’s office told the organization to cease and desist operations in the state. AW1Ed sends a link to the news that SMVA lost their appeal to begin operations again;
“A charity that cannot show it operates within the law will not be permitted to solicit charitable donations,” said Secretary of State Wobensmith. “This decision is a victory for those who were misled and mistreated by this organization.”
The final decision follows a lengthy administrative review process to determine whether the charity could continue soliciting the public for charitable donations to run its programs.
The director of the organization, Daniel T. Brashear, was convicted of murdering his girlfriend in 1991 and spent his 22 years in prison wanting to help veterans, but the organization wasn’t being forthcoming with thier business dealings, so Maryland shut them down.
So, while you’re out and about in Maryland, if you see someone collecting money for them, contact Michael Schlein, Investigator, Charities and Legal Services Division at 410-260-3879.

Grumpy retired Senior NCO says
“GOOD!”
Maybe they could jail some of the turds involved as well…
Jail.
Horsewhip.
Tar and feathers.
Not necessarily in that order…
Not to mention hide strapping their asses to a pine rail and sending them up the Monon.
I prefer the older tradition of simply stomping the object of ire into a muddy blood puddle.
Saves money in the long run and helps with the jail over crowding issue.
You have heard of “The Running of the Bulls”?
For frauds, we should introduce them to “The Running of the Cape Buffalo”.
(-don’t- look up the end result of Cape Buffalo versus human, if you have eaten recently. NSFW, either.)
AFTER being pilloried for at least three weeks with an ample supply of rotten garbage, blunt instruments and animal feces nearby.
Not a fanboi of gun grabbing Attorney General Frosh AT ALL, but even a blind chipmunk finds the occasional acorn, so I’ll give him credit for this one.
Yep. That’s one in a row.
Once is an anomaly, twice is a trend. I’m not holding my breath for “twice.”
You may even offer them a donation and, if it’s accepted, report it to the contact person listed in the post. Nasty? You bet, but quite legal. If you are a LEO, it’s entrapment, most likely. If not, not.
I’m not used to seeing something rational come out of Maryland since PG, Montgomery and Baltimore voters ran it into the ground..
I’LL BE DAMNED, sometimes the system actually works like it’s mudda-fukkin’ supposed to!
