The TRUTH about Joanne Yoon’s Defamation Lawsuit against Jeff Schwilk

San Diego Minutemen
Monday, May 25, 2009

Illegal alien activist Joanne Yoon filed a $1 Million false “Defamation” civil lawsuit against SDMM Leader Jeff Schwilk on Mar 22, 2007.  On May 21, 2009 she won a judgment for $135,000 for “damages” from a jury in Vista Court, Dept. 29, Judge Robert Dahlquist.

As Paul Harvey would say, here’s the rest of the story:

- Joanne Yoon was a paid political operative for the ACLU and La Raza/Mexico from 2005-2007.

- Joanne Yoon is a PUBLIC FIGURE as ruled by the court in April 2009.  Everyone in America is free to comment on her and her anti-American activism and activities.

- Joanne Yoon stalked, harassed, and interfered with peaceful, law-abiding American citizens and pro-America political activists from 2005-2007, both at the border and at public Pro-American public events and rallies.

- Joanne Yoon’s lawyer is Daniel Gilleon who is also Claudia Smith’s hired attorney that she has used to smear and attack innocent American activists by abusing the court system and filing numerous lawsuits against Jeff Schwilk and other anti-illegal immigration leaders.  Smith and Gilleon appeared on Fox News (Hannity & Colmes) in Nov 2006 to attack and falsely accuse independent activist John Monti of assualting 7 day laborers/illegal aliens.  Monti is now suing Claudia Smith, SDPD, and the SD city attorney for conspiring to falsely prosecute him even though he was the one attacked by aliens.

-  Dan Gilleon was fired from his little leage coaching position in Del Mar in 2008 for “defaming” a 9 year old little league player where he attacked the little boy with vulgar language in a mass email that went to many parents of other little leage players.  How is that for irony?                     http://sports.uniontrib.com/news/northcounty/jenkins/20080303-9999-1m3jenkins.html

- Daniel Gilleon is LYING to the media now and sending them fraudulent copies of the complaint alleging that Jeff Schwilk defamed Joanne Yoon in an email, when he knows the 2nd Amended Complaint for which Schwilk was tried last week clearly claims that the only defamation of Yoon was in a Webpage created by independent activist Ray Carney in Sep 2006.  Schwilk was accused of defamation for forwarding the weblink, an act, that even if true, is fully protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

- No evidence was ever introduced at trial that Jeff Schwilk had anything to do with the creation or content of Ray Carney’s webpage.  Schwilk’s attorneys believe the jury ignored the evidence and the jury instructions and sided with Yoon due to her testimony that her feelings were hurt when she viewed Carney’s website.  Carney’s website spoofed her activism for illegal aliens and made fun of her provocative dress and appearance when stalking and harassing at public Minuteman events.

- Joanne Yoon’s own former employer, the head of the ACLU in San Diego, David Blair-Loy wrote a letter to the San Diego Union Tribune in March 2007 saying that her lawsuit against Jeff Schwilk was without merit and that it infringed on Schwilk’s First Amendment rights of free speech.

- Joanne Yoon presented absolutely no evidence of any damages in court.  In fact she bragged in her own testimony about continuing to harass the Minutemen for the next year after she supposedly saw the web site.  She was a dedicated left-wing activist who was not slowed down by some name calling by Ray Carney.  There were no damages because no one looked at the website besides Joanne Yoon.  Yoon now lives in Bakersfield, CA and attends UC Bakersfield where she is studying to be a school teacher to young children.  If you know anyone in the Bakersfield area, you may want to warn them of her intentions.

- Joanne Yoon was/is an aggressive, malicious, and law-ignoring agent for the La Raza anti-American agenda in San Diego County.  At an anti-illegal immigration protest at the Encinitas Home Depot in 2006, Yoon was witnessed walking down the sidewalk kicking Minuteman signs into the street on busy El Camino Real.  Claudia Smith had to come running down the sidewalk to grab her and stop her from kicking personal property.

- Joanne Yoon called Jeff Schwilk in August of 2006 and threatened to “get” Oceanside activist Rhonda Deniston because Yoon didn’t like her conduct at our Minuteman events.  She said to Schwilk on the phone, “We’re going after her”.

- Joanne Yoon has been observed making false written and oral reports to various law enforcement agencies, lying to officers of the law, and doing the “dirty work” for her Mexican/La Raza employers.  Claudia Smith and her leftist operatives used the “pretty Asian girl” to play the part of innocent observer, but she was overtly harassing and on many occasions violated the civil rights of American protesters.

- Ray Carney, who has never been a member of any Minuteman organization, admitted in court that he alone created and published the spoof website of Yoon and that he emailed the link to dozens of other individuals besides Jeff Schwilk.  He even defaulted on this lawsuit 2 years ago.  He has also testified that only 3 people ever signed up for the Yahoo group to view his webpage.  Yoon admitted to being one of those who joined the Yahoo group to view the webpage.  Carney deleted the website after only a few days of it being active.

- Gilleon presented the jury with a doctored, fraudulent copy of an email allegedly showing that Schwilk forwarded the email with the link in it to “Undislosed Recipients”.  The judge allowed the email to be entered as evidence even though it was missing a From and a To line and there was no “time stamp” after the date.  The email used to “convict” Schwilk had obviously been manipulated.

- In the end, the jury found Jeff Schwilk liable for “defamation” of Joanne Yoon for sending a private email with a link in it.  This erroneous decision will be reversed by the Appellate court and Jeff Schwilk will be rightfully exonerated of any wrongdoing.

- The North County Times warned of the serious pitfalls of this public figure defamation lawsuit back in April 2007.  Too bad the law was not properly applied to this case.  It will surely be reversed on appeal.  http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2007/04/01/opinion/trageser/010107104830.txt

- In addition to the two lawsuits currently represented by Dan Gilleon against Jeff Schwilk, a third lawsuit against Schwilk personally was threatened by Gilleon to the media in 2007.  Gilleon publicly threatened to sue Schwilk on behalf of 300 illegal alien migrant squatters who had lived illegally in McGonigle Canyon before the San Diego Minutemen pressured the city of San Diego and the property owners to evict them.  Gilleon likes to use his law degree and hyper-agressive media tactics to intimidate and harass law-abiding citizens.  Last time we checked that was illegal.

Sleazy La Raza smear tactics and propaganda campaigns fail every time.  Americans want their border with Mexico secured and our laws enforced.  La Raza lies have zero impact on this new and growing nationwide American Revolution and sovereignty movement.  We get stronger by the day and are taking our country back from the anti-American criminals and corrupt politicians.
