Raising a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, James Fairbanks riddled Mattieo Condoluci with seven shots, bullets entering Condoluci’s back and chest. One bullet pierced Condoluci’s forehead, near his temple.
All after Condoluci, a convicted sex offender, answered his door near 43rd and Pinkney Streets in May 2020.
Yet Fairbanks and his attorney, Steve Lefler, contemplated a self-defense claim up until minutes before the 44-year-old Omaha man pleaded no contest Thursday to second-degree murder and a gun charge. They said Condoluci had charged the armed Fairbanks after he showed up at Condoluci’s house to warn him to stay away from kids.
Prosecutor Brenda Beadle, the chief deputy Douglas County attorney, called the self-defense assertion “comical.” She noted that Condoluci had no idea that a gunman would come to his door the night of May 14 and had not had any prior contact nor conflict with Fairbanks. Beadle and fellow prosecutor Ryan Lindberg suggested that Fairbanks was hunting sex offenders with the rifle he had bought earlier that year.
Remember what they say about those who scream ‘pedophiles’:

(Ignore the parts about the 1/6 incident. That’s a more political item over which we will all differ).
I have laid low since my release from prison. I always fear that someone like this is in my area. Despite all the notifications and alerts by the police and the DOC officers and agents, I can not truly feel safe anywhere I go. This is why the sex offender registry, both state and national, has to be abolished. I have completed my time, no more supervision or parole or probation. Let me live my life in this world so I can move on and be a good person once again.

I have had my windows shot out of my house. Sheriff’s office wouldn’t even come out, told me to file a report online. Then my tires were slashed. (someone wanted to scare me to move I guess)
Then eggs were thrown at my house.
The kicker was when I was gone for an entire day. I came home and thought law enforcement had done a raid on my home. It was a raid but not by the police. Some thugs kicked in my door and stole everything.
The last thing that happened was my vehicle was broken into. No one on my street has had anything happen so they were targeting me because I was on the registry. I even got an anonymous letter in the mail saying if I did not move, I would regret it.
Not once would the law come out and write a report. BUT my neighbor had someone’s dog poo in her flower bed and an officer came right out and wrote a report and confronted the owner of the dog. BUT, we are neverrrrr, treated differently because we are on the registry.

Yeh George Floyd wasn’t treated any different either. Right!
DavidM
As former law enforcement I can tell you this. If Floyd had not been killed, a good lawyer would have gotten the Fake $20 charge thrown out. There are tons of them floating out there and even I have been tricked before. A good laywer would argue he got it in change and had no idea it was fake.
He died for something most would have gotten probation for IF the charge even stuck. Because he was an ex felon, he may have had to do probation. Still, that would have been better then the death sentence he was served by the judge, jury and executioner kneeling on his neck.
Floyd may not have been a saint, but things like that, that I saw personally happening when I was on the force, is why I could not sleep at night and why I resigned. I truely got hired to help people, not kill them. Just glad I was never put in a postion where I had to take someone’s life.

My comment was to be taken sarcastically. He did not deserve to die , the officer had no right to do what he did. He had something against George , I don’t pretend to know what it was. Those on the registry give cops and others a reason, in there minds to have something against you before they know you. So things have a chance of going bad very easily like George.
The things that have happened to you are happening because someone is judging you without facts or knowing you. The registry encourages that behavior. It’s done in the form of a blanket marking that is totally wrong in every way. Just as black are often judged in that way as are other people’s . Any kind of blanket marking brings out the worst from any society.
I’ve had a neighbor drops nails in my driveway several times and the cops won’t do anything if there’s no camera. However, they have threatened him with arrest if he ever comes on my property again.
Truth
I have several cameras. The bastards have started wearing face coverings and parking somewhere else so no way to tell who they are. Always seem to come when I am not home.
Although one of the neighbors caught a clear face shot of someone vandalizing my vehicle. He looked dead on at her camera which is hidden and better quality than mine. I had someone who is actually allowed to use facebook paste his photo all over facebook as a shame registry of my own LOL
Good work jack.

Yeh I’ve heard that in Europe over 50% of the circulating American money is fake.
This is a good plea deal. He’ll do at least 21 years, after which he’ll be on parole and unarmed.
The self defense claims are indeed comical. You came into his property, knocked on his door, proceeded to tell him what to do and then shot him dead. What is also comical is the 2nd degree murder. Should have been convicted of 1st degree premeditated murder. I can bet he was planning this for weeks. The registrant probably kept to himself minding his own business living out his life.
Second Degree???
It sure looked premeditated to me.
So the list takes another victim to an early grave.
So you take a rifle to someone house to “warn them” to stay away from children, use it claiming that someone tried to defend against your deadly threat then claim you are the victim? Everyone please understand that anyone at your door without a uniform on could potentially be there to harm you and your family. Do not answer the door unless you are prepared to defend your home with deadly force. Let them leave a message and if they do not then it must not have been important. I always have a gun on unless it’s a Leo on the monthly meet and greet. If you cannot posses a firearm then do not open the door period.
I do not know the age of the victim, but history seems to indicate the vigilantes always pick out the elderly among us as they pose the least likely to be able to defend themselves, such is the fortitude of these cowards to seek out the weak and vulnerable – the appearance of strength will always deter them as it tests their conviction and finds it wanting.
Maybe after a few of the vigilantes are put down by registered citizens who are defending their homes and family will we see some relief.
Satis Verborem!

Where do you live that you are allowed to own a gun? Here we are banned for life from owning a gun. I think there is some old law that says we can have a black powder gun but I wouldn’t even have that as some gungho cop might arrest. Then you spend untold $10000000 spending the next decade trying to fight the charges.
I keep several Louie sluggers around my house . 3 crow bars 4 foot in length, and 5 long heavy pipes all stationed in areas of my home so I can grab something anywhere I am.
No felony adjudication = no loss of firearms rights….
Check your law in Fl and elsewhere before you make the decision to posses/carry a rosco.
Sure looks like the “Registry” AKA The HIT LIST is WITHOUT A DOUGHT Punishment !!!!!!!. This poor man paid the ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT because his Personal Information was BLASTED FOR EVERY KILLER TO SEE !!! I truly believe that EVERY State should be CHARGED with ACCESSORY TO MURDER because ANY DUMB SMUCK knows that publishing people’s Name, Address And Personal Information of EX Offender’s that has a Sex Charge IN THEIR PAST,,, to the ENTIRE WORLD can and will cause IMMINENT DANGER OF LOSS OF LIFE when some CRAZY PHYSCO or ANYONE that desides those on that list doesn’t deserve to live, Can and WILL use that info to go KILL those FORCED to have their Names, Addresses and Personal Information on that HIT LIST AKA The Registry !!!. . One (or MANY) Could also say that By posting this list to the world, That it Constitutes PREMEDITATED MURDER !!!!!!!. Because someone uses this “Hit List” ALMOST DAILY to HARM OR KILL those FORCED to be on that list !!!!. Sure wish I had the money to hire a GREAT Attorney (s) to challenge and charge Every State in this Country , One at a time or ALL AT ONCE !!! I can almost GARANTEE that IF the Government (The States) Actually went by the LETTER OF LAW according to EXACTLY HOW OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS ARE WRITTEN, There’s NO WAY the Government (each State) would be able to win in court !!!. If any Lawyers wanna represent me PRO BONO here in Florida to start the Ball rolling, I’m not scared to challenge it anymore !! I won’t even do it as a “John Doe” !!!!! I’ll use my real name !!!!
Tired Of Being Mistreated
Agree with you 100%. Someone needs to start a go fund me page to assist his relatives to finance an attorney to sue the country and the state for allowing his private information to get into the hands of mentally unstable individuals like this. And any organizations who publish that information they received from the registry.
They can call the registry whatever they want but it is Doxing. How can places like Kansas City Missouri which passed a law last year against Doxing support the registry which is exactly the same thing with a different name. Something needs to be done to make them aware of such blatant hypocrisy.
Fairbank’s version of events never did pass the smell test. Truth is, he’s a lifelong underacheiver who just wanted a little hero worship. Now he’a yesterday’s news. Donations to his jail book and attorney have dried up and he’s now juat another crook.
Funny that a few months ago he was convinced that no jury would convict him.
I always peek out my window before opening the door. If it is a shooter, Freddy kruger or Someone trying to save my soul for the 1000th time, I do not open the door.
