"A law that languishes in obscurity could feed our nation and save millions of tons of food, if only the law were promoted and publicized."Yes Sir! Could it be possible that North Minneapolis' top Bully Blogger and scavenger dumpster diver is turning over a new leaf in his life and putting his extensive, student loan paid education (loans not repaid yet) to good use? Better yet, using it to help save our nation and have no time for using his blog for his personal attacks against those who dare challenge him as he has with attorney Jill Clark and his 58+ posts about her?
To that I say, You can take John Hoff out of the dumpster but, you can't take the dumpster out of Hoff. It is in his blood to attack and stalk others while nearly begging to gain supporters for his actions. Wait! That isn't right. Hoff insists that "I" (Jim Watkins) am the stalker.
I have some information I would like to share with the readers. I see this information to be of public use as it documents what extremes Hoff has gone to while stalking (cyber) me while pointing his finger at me and claiming that I am the stalker. In other words... In public, he wants people to see him as a do-good'er and exposing all the evil people in his life. In his eyes and what he tries to convince the public with is that he only does good and never lives by a double standard.
Back in the latter part of September, 2012, Hoff went on a rampage against me after the ruling in the Moore V. Hoff case was overturned by the appeals court and stepping up his bashing efforts after he felt the ruling was more or less a License to Bash. In his three posts about me, he said all kinds of untrue things about me including his calling me a stalker.
While he was busy doing his best to level me on his own blog, he thought he could do more damage by attacking me on other sites that I had once been a weekly contributor for. Hey, anything is fair game for him and he displayed behavior doing it that is borderline psychotic.
Hoff went to the website where I used to write articles about real estate, pulled up most of what I had written there and submitted comments on most of them in his clear attempt to discredit me no matter how low he has to go. How do I know he really did that because, his comments are not found anywhere on that website. The owner of the website, quickly deleted his comments as they were clearly meant to discredit me and cast a negative public image of me.
When a person submits a comment to one of my articles on that site, it sends me an email notice which shows the article the comments were submitted for, the posters information (name, email, etc) and then a copy of their comments. I apologize in advance for this getting to the point where what I am saying is getting repetitive. I just want to remind readers that it is Hoff who was repetitive and I am merely posting the proof of him cyber stalking and harassing me.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Check out the link to Jim's DFW Mentor site. It's now completely in Chinese. Looks like he didn't hang on to the URL.
What IS Jim doing? He runs a weird, slimy stalker blog called The Misadventures of Johnny Northside dedicated to trashing a guy (me) who isn't afraid to live in North Minneapolis, is trying to make the neighborhood better, and doesn't run away like a little fraidy cat when the going gets tough.

Wow. They won't change his hundred dollar bill because of some odd little rule and he goes on a virtual tear about the bank? Snaps its picture and puts it on the internet?
(Wow!!! Hoff actually had the audacity to bash me for taking a picture of the bank and posting it on the net while he does that very same thing hundreds of times on his blog to PEOPLE and businesses.)With his petty and confrontational attitude, it's not surprising that Jim's real estate career experienced a meltdown and he now occupies some of his time writing a blog dedicated to trash talking about one guy. Here's the back story about Jim "DFW Mentor" Watkins.

But he's not the only one to make a mistake in the real estate game, is he, Jim?
Does any of that strike you as something a community activist would do? In addition to Hoff making un-true statements about me and various aspects of my real estate career, he didn't let up after he submitted all of those comments about me, he also did the following around the same time.
Hoff went to a phone number tracking site and submitted the following...
Additional InformationThis phone number is used by a guy named Jim Watkins, age 41, who is kind of a loose nut. Check out his weird blog The Misadventures of Johnny Northside, which is dedicated to trashing the most prominent blogger in Minneapolis, which is, well, me. Jim's obsession (it can't be called anything else) with me stems from the fact I wrote about his self-described best friend, Thomas Balko, who is currently in the Duluth federal prison for involvement in a real estate scam. Jim's vengeance-minded obsession with me for writing about his friend has continued for YEARS. Check out his blog and judge for yourself. The guy truly has a screw loose. He currently works (or has worked) for an entity called Texas Storage Wares. I have received taunting text messages from this phone number on various occasions.
Here is the link to these comments where Hoff posted the above... Click Here

John Hoff is clearly stalking you. You need to make a police report.
Regarding the madness of John Pimpin' the Hood Hoff. Yes, John The Mad Stalker Hoff is clearly a manic threat to anyone he views as red meat for his bullying, on-line. He appears an idea thief and plagiarist too...as he likely lifted the famous title words of recently deceased Mr. Karl Bremmer, of Stillwater. Bremmer, a legit Blogger featured in The Strib obits today, had recently written a piece, titled: The Madness of Michele Bachmann. Sounds way too familiar to be anything less then a Hoff Heist.
LMBAOTF!!! I thought I was the only one that caught the BS by Appleseed. I have been cracking up for days reading how he is supposedly'compassionate' now. For me on Northtalk, he has become BORING. I thought he would be more of a challenge..he's a drunk that needs AA and a shrink.
I suggest, Johnny Apple-Sauced Northside, would be more apropos of the Hoff binge drinking and drivel-driving habits!!
The insanity and perverted focus of Johnny Horsehide Hoff moved on from an unwelcome infatuation with Jill to a current, non consensual desire to smell the armpit of Pete. Again and again; Johnny Nostril Hoff has gotten on the scent of Pete. Johnny Alposauced Hoff is quite a bloodhound; he enjoys covertly shagging along behind Pete, home, to get a fresh whiff of any possible P>B>O> residue. Take a big whiff Johnny Northside and get your buzz cooking. A big whiff and then Blog baby Blog.
John Hoff is trying to "romanticize the struggle" he has staying sober. And it aint romantic, nor pretty witty nor wise. Just grim.
@ 1/31 11:22 - can you point to where JWH laments his struggles with sobriety? As someone sober for nearly a decade, I can all but guarantee he's all talk and no action.
Did anyone else happen to notice that JWH took the link to his petition off his blog site? (Or maybe I just didn't see it, in which case I will admit I'm wrong...) but as of today, 2/11/13 when he needed 25,000 signatures, he had only 65.
Bwahahahahahaha Guess he's not such a savior after all.
@ anon 5:11... I just looked and it appears you are correct. What a joke that he goes to his extremes to promote it (I might add that the law was already a law and Hoff put the twist on it as though he was responsible for it). Only to fail yet again. A commenter on another post called him a Professional Victim and I agree with that but, he also has been a Professional Failure!
