Today, the 4th District Court of Appeals struck another blow to Lauren Book by again (and in 26 pages) rejecting the petulant Senator’s claim that Logue stalked her.
In a petition to the 17th Circuit (in Ft. Lauderdale) she alleged that Derek Logue, of oncefallen.com and an outspoken registry reform advocate stalked her. She cited to three instances – one where he counter-protested PEACEFULLY at her “Walk in My Shoes” event. Secondly, when he appeared at a screening of David Feige’s documentary “Untouchable” in which he was featured also. And finally in comments online.
She alleged that she feared for her life and the safety of her children – but at the time (and still) Derek lives in a completely different state and had done absolutely nothing that would constitute stalking. Unfortunately the 17th circuit is Broward, where Lauren Book is a senator and they granted the stalking injunction… But Derek, with the help of the an AMAZING legal team including Jamie Benjamin and Gary Edinger, appealed and won!
But again, entitled Ms. Book felt she was entitled to another bite at the apple in the appellate court and she lost again!

@peterpeeper
I do believe your comment only comes from one that is a shill. Definition of shill someone who is planted from the enemy: one who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter.
We know your thoughts and your intent, and Is a direct violation of the comment policies on this website.
(If this was proposed as a quote then it should be mentioned as such)
WTF is this garbage doing on the FAC board. Take your lame sabotage efforts elsewhere.
Jacob – I deleted the post. I just realized the IP Address matches one of our known vigilante trolls out of Georgia. That person is known to us. Just waiting for a direct threat so we can notify law enforcement.

I am fully in support of this positive court decision on behalf of Derek. Thanks to the legal team that helped him get this win. When people appear to lose their ability to reason, and harm others because they were once harmed, without regard to whether they were actually targeted or not, it is time to speak out.
I wonder how many more thousands of dollars she waisted again. Man, this woman just loves wasting money.
Riff Raff
She does not care. She is a bureaucrat who receives a monthly stipend from taxpayer dollars. She HAS NO modus operandi to create revenue and watch expenses….She gets taxpayer hand-outs while her Whiskey Guzzling father sits nearby and coaches her and contacts ‘HIS’ people to make sure her legal outcomes benefit ‘THEM’…in this case, SHE LOST and mostly, her massacre probably was ruined as she cried like hell…like any BARBIE DOLL would….Where is Ken to save her?????
She INVENTS AND CREATES HATRED! SHE tries to INVENT HER OWN LAWS!
Perhaps, a Tarzan will save her!
a Spine-less, Ruthless tax robbing Citizen!
Good Job Derek and legal team !!!
I hope F.A.C let me post this
Anyone who has to go to AZ DMV to renew you I.D. YOU MUST make an Appointment by phone to do so. My I.D. expires on AUG.1. Do not wait till the last minute It is your freedom you playing with. Now with virus you never know if they shut down DMV. Yeah I going a month in early but better now than never
My favorite “victim mentality” excuse is “I fear for my life and the lives of my children!” Why? Because someone has a different opinion on a subject matter than you do?
This is the way people like Lauren attempt to pull the heart strings of courts and get pity from the people. There was no threat to her life and safety of her kids. She’s full of shit.
I just noted that Bogenschutz, the same attorney that’s representing Ron Book in the DUI case represented Lauren in this stalking case.
I hope he continues to prove a waste of money for them.
Choke-u-pukez, Boguspootz, or whatever his nanme is, is supposed to be one of Florida’s top attorneys, and he was soundly defeated.
From what I heard, he didn’t get paid for this.
I would love to been there to see the expressions on their faces when they did not get the verdict they wanted. lol My thoughts just ran wild there for a moment lol
So so pleased with this decision! Maybe now something can be done about the 2,500 ft. ordinance in Miami Dade. Keep up the good work Derek!
So ironic that the actual criminal stalkers are the scumbags like the Books. They are harassing criminals who cannot mind their own business or leave other families alone. True terrorists who should be treated as enemy combatants against Americans.
They say, “we’re all in this together”. We aren’t. I don’t give a squirt of piss what happens to the Books and other scumbags who think Registries are acceptable. They can thank their Registries for that.
Good point man them blocking people done with their sentences from returning to a somewhat reasonable life and searching their profile and whereabouts to snare them in the homeless camps and move them about is unethical if not illegal.
I truly feel this woman and her father feed off her incident with her Nanny. Why do all offenders have to continue to suffer at the mercy of this woman making money on her books and legislation she continues to pass. I’ve always said we didn’t hire her Nanny from another country her father did. but we continue to be punished for his actions. By all these laws being passed in this State.
Congrats and glad to see that the 1st amendment is not totally dead…yet!
How long can Lauren Book play the victim card? Sure, her pathetic “career” is based around being a victim and it appears that her mission is and continues to be to destroy as many lives as possible – petty revenge on people she doesn’t know and has never met.
She might just be evil which is what I strongly suspect as she hides behind children to do her “dirty work”. Probably can’t help it considering who she was “raised” by!
I actually thought this was over last August, and it just popped up in my news feed. But any chance the Books lose is a win for all of us.
Even though this statement if from a concurring opinion, it is my favorite because I think this judge knew this suit was a blatant SLAPP suit:
“The First Amendment issue presented by this case is of exceptional
importance.
Recently, cases have surfaced where politicians have attempted to use
the court system to stifle political opposition. See, e.g., WPB Residents for Integrity in Gov’t, Inc. v. Materio, 284 So. 3d 555 (Fla. 4th DCA 2019);
Concerned Citizens for Judicial Fairness v. Yacucci, 162 So. 3d 68 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014). There have also been the similar cases involving the right to petition the government, see, e.g., Hurchalla v. Lake Point Phase I, LLC, 278 So. 3d 58 (Fla. 4th DCA 2019),4 and a quasi-government seeking to discourage journalistic coverage. See Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. Times Publ’g Co., 780 So. 2d 310, 316-17 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001).
Lies, misrepresentations, and misdirection have long been a staple of
politics. ”
Lauren Book fits this description perfectly.
Of course, there were three dissenters, and the one who wrote the dissenting opinion is heavily engaged with children’s charities so I’d say her bias is showing. But whatever, few bother with dissenting opinions.
If I were a crazy, vindictive bitch trying to ruin everyone’s life, I would likely be nervous that they were coming to get me, too.
I don’t like to employ sexist retorts, as it seems a low blow, however I make exceptions and reserve the right to use the C-word for certain special individuals on very rare occasions. Lauren Book is definitely in the rare handful of such persons. She has been for a long time. That is all.
