Rep...Citizen Kane here Re: True Necessity of a G.J. Report if no Indictments returned:<br /><br />Contrary to the following comment made by "Blind Mind Reader" 8:16:<br /><br />" A G.J. report will mean nothing to the general voting public and come across as sour grapes from a failed conspiracy."<br /><br />Unprecedented Grand Jury action for all-reasons already spoken of ad museum, demand unprecedented action by the Grand Jury id NO indictments are handed "up". (notice how the media always says Federal G.J.'s hand Down and State G.J. hand down? (no always but I digress).<br /><br />Listen - seriously - The last thing anyone wants is for the "books" on this deal to quietly close and just leave a bunch of wondering and political innuendo. Precisely as a NON-Political activist This report could cut either way. In any case i would expect the G.J. to bend over backwards to be fair in any manner they take based on past attempts to rec-use them. What is there to be afraid of? When 8:16 says a formal G.J. Report would mean: "nothing to the general voting public but sour grapes" <br /><br />What the hell do you know that the rest do not. Very apparent YOU are a political "whatever" for Lykos and - yes - in a vacuum - would mean nothing. But in the hands of Lykos OR Anderson's political Consultants it could no doubt be sliced and diced to make a very nice political commercial - reality of modern day politics.<br /><br />From P.L. stand point the lack of any indictments plus $ spend is political fodder no matter how you cut it. Objectively, depending on what it says, any criticisms of management at the D.A.'s Office or lack of cooperation (which I doubt they would say in response to a citizen "prosecutor" taking the 5th) could also be used. <br /><br />Either way there needs to be closure for the public no just an extended Grand Jury Investigating the Harris County District Attorney's Office quietly going home. If no indictments are given (which I predict will not) in my humble opinion I think the public needs to know SOMETHING! Grand Jurors - your credibility is at stake here in terms of NOT indicting or indicting but rather some formal report under all reasons already stated. Findings of fact and conclusions in a general form. Bunko? Really? I'm a guy and don't even like wine dude.

Unfortunately, Hooper has insisted on bringing a very personal attack on people who have done absolutely nothing to him. What was done on the Chronicle blogs was nothing short of sadistic and involved people who aren't even running for office.<br /><br />Ultimately, he left me the choice to sit by and idly watch him viciously attack people, or give me the option of letting people know just who exactly was the source of all that vile material he likes to spew. I ignored him for a very very long time, but he finally crossed the line on Monday.<br /><br />There are still plenty of things left out of it, but these things go to his credibility. People need to know who it is saying the things he says.<br /><br />My hope is that any time another one of those fake identities pops up on the Chronicle comments section, a quick cut and paste of this article will say all that needs to be said.Murray Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662196272138109874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-77023218505937084352012-01-04T16:54:24.293-06:002012-01-04T16:54:24.293-06:00Murray, Though I enjoy the gouge that Rage is putt...Murray, Though I enjoy the gouge that Rage is putting out there on the Hoopster, isn't it against your policy to publish personal stuff.

That was...<i>Thanks for all the well-researched info.</i><br /><br />That was just two minutes and knowing where to go. I didn't even look into that criminal case with the mug shot or looked at all the documents from the cases I cited, much less start googling him. I'm sure there's a lot more out there.<br /><br /><i>Can't the attorney general's office force Hooper to pay child support?</i><br /><br />Absolutely. By putting him in jail, if necessary. It's the last remaining debtor's prison. Looks to me like there is no final order in his case though, and the AG is unlikely to jail someone unless they are years behind and a final order is in place. <br /><br /><i>Does he still owe child support for his kids from his marriage, or are they grown? If he does still owe it, does he pay?</i><br /><br />I've done all the work on this I'm going to do. You can go get print outs of child support obligations in the basement of the family law court house. Just take the name and cause number. I'm not sure if you can get a third party's without representing them, so be prepared to be asked why you want it. I didn't look closely, but I don't remember any contempt hearings for failure to pay child support. <br /><br /><i>to rebuff any misinformation then I assume you would post his response or delete incorrect posts?</i><br /><br />Like to see him rebuff public documents. I never said he did anything other than father a child out of wedlock for which he had to be forced to: 1. be fingerprinted, 2. not take pictures of the inside of a clinic (sounds like that's his schtick), 3. submit to a DNA test, and 4. pay a certain amount of child support that is extremely low and not indicative of a high roller.<br /><br />That information is all in the documents. <br /><br />If you're his buddy, you'd be serving him much better if you advised him to take his ball and go home. He can't "rebuff" the above like he rebuffed his biological child.<br /><br />RageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-13549368818450956402012-01-04T15:46:03.102-06:002012-01-04T15:46:03.102-06:00#anon 3:25, his children from his first marraige a...#anon 3:25, his children from his first marraige are 15 and 11ish (so both under 18)and no he does pay even the minimal amount he's been ordered.

Go to the district clerk's site, create an account, and do a search for his name. <br /><br />If you want to know whether or not Donald Paul Hooper makes a load of money, a Title4 case filed in Harris County (where the attorney general had to chase him down for child support) resulted in him being ordered to pay $284.00 a month in child support. To get an idea what that means on an income basis, if you're unemployed, you pay $250.00 a month. <br /><br />I am assuming there is only one Donald Paul Hooper. Other cases for that name are as follows:<br /><br />2009-13593; Michelle Hightower v. Donald Paul Hooper (the Title 4 case, above);<br /><br />2006-76685; Donald Hooper v. David Rodriguez (a case in which he sued two people and a business for false improsonment, alleging that they wrongfully accused him of committing assault with a deadly weapon--I'm assuming this is where the mugshot that Murray talked about came from). <br /><br />2001-63569; Karen Hooper v. Donald Paul Hooper; divorce with children. <br /><br /><br /><br />One of the funniest things, ever: In the Title 4 case there is an order enjoining him from taking photographs inside the testing facility. (Guess it's not just Newman he wants to add to his spank bank.) He was also ordered to submit to fingerprinting (unusual!) and blood tests (because he's a baby daddy).<br /><br />RageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-27714535669785509042012-01-04T12:23:15.787-06:002012-01-04T12:23:15.787-06:00Anon 5:55 am and others,
