Once Fallen: The murder of Mattieo Condoluci
Many of you are aware that there was a vigilante killing in Omaha, Nebraska this past weekend, and the murderer turned himself into the police last night.
The Omaha media, particularly the World-Herald, has all but canonized the murderer, making him a sympathetic character, while the registrant he killed was not a sympathetic character. This has led to an outpouring of support for the murderer.
But, no matter the backstory between the two individuals, the fact remains that this was an act of pre-meditated murder by someone who used registry information as a weapon to murder a registered citizen. This was not self-defense, but a cold, calculated killing.
The murderer is behind bars right now, but for how long, I don’t know.
There is a Facebook group, the same group that was stalking the registrant for years, has repackaged itself today as “Free James Fairbanks” in honor of the man they had a role in murdering (the killer has been connected with this Facebook page). Facebook has a long history of discrimination against registrants. Last year, Facebook was caught allowing threats against those accused or convicted of sex offenses.
There have also been GoFundMe pages popping up to raise money for this killer.
After spending all day with this news, I’ve settled on some ideas on how you, particularly those of you in larger, more influential groups than OnceFallen, may address this issue:
- Contact the Douglas County County Attorney’s office and request they deny bail to Fairbanks. Ask he be prosecuted for a hate crime. The vigilante group is raising funds now for this killer’s legal defense so if he gets bail, he could be free. Here’s a contact form:

- Report the vigilante group “Free James Fairbanks” to Facebook as a hate group. They whitewashed some threatening statements but this is the group connected to the killer:

- Report this Change.org Petition. There is a “Report a policy violation” option but it is part of the way down the page, below petition updates.

- Contact GoFundMe and demand they reject ALL vigilante petitions for funds that reward criminal behavior. At last count, there were 5 separate fundraisers for James Fairbanks:

- I’d contact the Nebraskans Unafraid Group to see if you can help them in any way. This is a good time to attack the Nebraska registry:

I have found the local Omaha World-Herald to be a less than neutral source. They are, in my opinion, very slanted in painting James Fairbanks as a sympathetic figure and seemingly promoting the vigilante group and the fundraisers.
This is a very good time to make the Nebraska legislature aware of the dangers the public registry creates. This is not the first time there was a murder in Nebraska and it won’t be the last.

Just to make a note: The victim’s DAUGHTER is supportive of the victim’s MURDERER and doesn’t want him punished. That opens the door to justification of murdering EVERYONE on the registry.
Pedophile apologists get the rope, too.
No they don’t. Get a time machine if you want to see lynchings in America. And stay there.
Some body have his IP address traced then notify the sheriff office about cyber threats.
I read it as sarcastic and facetious, expressing a (dumb) popular view rather than his own view.
“Pedophile apologist”— is that even a thing?
The latest —
So far, GoFundMe has removed every fundraiser for James Fairbanks up to this point. I’m sure more will pop up though, so please keep reporting, and if you can get into GoFundMe support (not easy to do) then be sure to pressure them to remove future vigilante fundraisers.
The vigilante group has set up two new fundraisers (I changed the http to hXXP in the links so they won’t automatically turn on so it won’t be linked to this page)
Venmo hXXps://venmo.com/code?user_id=3013598599184384314
Paypal hXXps://www.paypal.me/SupportFairbanks
I have reported the PayPal account as a scam but I can find no info on how to report a Venmo account.
Those of you that have stepped up and have spoken out against this heinous murder, I commend you. Please keep the pressure on!

When o when is there a lawsuit petitioning RSO’s lives are in danger and that we are public target? Now other ex con has to face this. How many is enough to prove that? This is ridiculous.
I hope that his family file suit against Facebook!
FB is a BIG LIE as Mark Z. stole the algorithmic language that is FB…he did this one night while ‘his partners’ were out on the town having fun in Cambridge, Mass…and then, he got the heavy-duty legal ammunition, and the rest is history…
I have met the scoundrel twice and HE is a self serving idiot!….just goes to show!…..
Stay Safe and Healthy!
The Media Committee is starting to work on this. I hope some other FAC members will also be writing letters or making some of the above contacts. It can really make a difference when it is not just one or two people voicing opposition.
