Johnny Northside Addresses Facebook "North Talk" Members With More Lies

"What? Johnny Northside lied?" "Say it ain't true!" Very well... What John Hoff aka Johnny Northside said to the members of the Facebook group, North Talk mostly isn't true.

I am writing this piece on my blog for a few reasons. 1) Some comments in North Talk recently have implied that I was the one who posted info about John's housing violations there. My response? False. Was not me nor anyone I know personally. 2) I can't post any comments to that group because, I am not a member of that group nor do I have any alias Facebook accounts. 3) I will never even attempt to join that group. Lets move on to the topic... Hoff.

Below are the comments John posted for the group and to someone who doesn't know a thing about Hoff it would appear that he offered reasonable explanations to what was said about his house and the violations that he has been hit with. However, I know better and I know that John either flat-out lied about some things or he left important facts out and twisted the truth into something more "manageable" for him. I have edited out content that was not related to this topic. My commentary is in red text.

John Hoff As for my house, anything that needs to be taken care of will be taken care of and I am on it. I had a lot of stuff on my plate when the chance to go to Afghanistan came up, and I jumped at it. 

Apparently, there wasn't much on his plate... Literally. And "the chance" came up? According to Hoff himself, he was "desperate to deploy."  The following is from an article John wrote for his hometown paper and the link to the full article.

It’s amazing, the stuff you’ll do to pay bills in a tough economy. When I couldn’t make enough money driving a truck all over the country picking up dead cats to be used as biological specimens, as well as selling my blood plasma, I enlisted in the Minnesota National Guard, the “Red Bulls.” The three months training I’d done at Fort Jackson paid all my child-support arrears. I was desperate to deploy anywhere, and I picked up every National Guard odd job I could find. http://www.thenewsleaders.com/road-to-afganistan-a-rocky-one. 

Two things... 1) Why was he "desperate to deploy?" I mean, he was in the National Guard at the time and receiving a pay check. Why on earth would he be desperate to go to war when he had that at home in north Minneapolis? 2) His three months training (Boot Camp) paid all his child support arrears. How is that possible? He was not behind with his child support. No, really he wasn't... According to him. On May 30, 2011 (right when he was about to be deployed) he wrote the following on his blog:

In the photo I'm holding, like, eight checks. But I've received over a dozen in the past several months. These represent OVERPAYMENTS to child support. Far from being a "deadbeat dad," I have actually been paying MORE than the State of Minnesota says I should pay for several months, now. Click here for the post

When I came back, that stuff was still on my plate. But it's being addressed. 

It is being addressed? REALLY??? To that I say, BULLSHIT!

As of today and according to the City of Minneapolis, John Hoff has applied for ZERO inspection permits. Click here to verify he hasn't. 

It is FREAKING OUTRAGEOUS that one criticism leveled at me by anti-Johnny haters is that I wasn't living in North Minneapolis the past year, I was living in AFGHANISTAN, and they tried to complain about my property on that basis.

That is not true on two fronts. First is that this is now mid-September. Hoff returned from Afghanistan is EARLY APRIL of 2012. That is more than five full months he has been back. Another fact is that John Hoff is no longer inin the National Guard as active duty OR Reservist. He was discharged in June. The second lie is no one complained about his house based on his being over-seas and thus, the house was a rental. The complaint is based on the fact that he is in violation of the Truth in Sale of Housing regarding repairs that he agreed to when he bought the house in 2008. He was given until the end of January of 2009 to complete the repairs. That was 2009!!! Not 2011!  How many repairs did he say he would fix? According to the city website, they list TWELVE repairs that were supposed to have been  completed by January, 2009. As of today, only one repair has been made and it was done in November of 2008. That leaves 11 TISH repairs in violation. Keep in mind, Hoff agreed in writing when he bought the house in '08 to have them fixed.  Click here for TISH repair status

Furthermore, I had every right (and a thousand damn Facebook photos) to take an extended summer road trip with my son after missing the previous summer's visitation because I had to, inter alia, sit in an exposed guard tower and scan for movement for days, weeks on end behind a 50 caliber machine gun. 

God! Does he glorify EVERYTHING he has ever done? A fair question to ask would be... Why would an educated person who holds a Degree in LAW, be sitting behind ANY machine gun??? From the same article he wrote for his hometown paper, John Hoff said the following...

The Guard sent me to Fort Jackson, S.C. to train as a 27D, which is a paralegal. I was a fine paralegal, but I couldn’t get a security clearance due to a pressing student-loan debt. Without clearance, I couldn’t get aboard a pending deployment to Kuwait.

The way he toots his own horn, you would believe he is a modern day Soldier of Fortune and a decorated war hero. Nope. Far from it.  

Fear not NoMi homies because, Johnny Northside has reassured the members of North Talk that "it will be taken care of" and he "is on it. There are several substances Johnny Northside could be "on" but, addressing his responsibilities with his house, would not be anything he is "On."

Johnny "Slumlord" Northside No Longer Has Inspections On His Side As Multiple Fines Are Issued

Last week I commented in a post I wrote that Johnny Northside aka John  Hoff's antics and overall "act" is beginning to wear thin with most of the people that he knows in Minneapolis and my prediction is becoming a real likelihood: Give Hoff enough rope and he will end up hanging himself.

One such example of his act wearing thin and has resulted in fewer readers on his blog is his psychotic obsession with not only seeing to it but playing a part and getting credit for running Minneapolis Attorney, Jill Clark out of the business. Yes, I said... Getting credit for it. What has Jill Clark done to John Hoff to warrant a THIRTY THREE part blog series focused on destroying her career and personal life?
Hoff claims that Clark has sued everyone in NoMi and has made his efforts of revitalization much more difficult. In my own opinion after having seen similar patterns of mental illness in Hoff's past, he has assaulted her in the manner he has been with his unflattering posts for one reason... Jill Clark represented Jerry Moore in Moore V. Hoff and she WON the case! (Hoff appealed and it was later reversed but, the damage to Hoff's ego had been done.)

Which brings me to my main point... Since Hoff's arrival into the north Minneapolis scene four years ago, he has boasted, bragged and flaunted his "above the law" attitude because of his tight relationships with various city officials who have always appeared to look the other way when he has created controversy. It appears that one by one... Johnny Northside is losing his support network and he will be left to fend for himself against all the L3SO's, Slumlords, Gang and non-Gang members and lots and lots of other people he has pissed off during his quest for attention.

Johnny Northside can no longer claim the city inspections department as a friend of his after being on a "first name basis" with the inspectors.
This latest opinion comes after the rumor being confirmed that the inspections department has finally decided to no longer ignore and look the other way while he operated his house on Bryant Ave. N. as a rental property without a rental license and issued costly fines.
Hoff has also all but ignored the TISH repairs on his house that he had promised to have fixed by the end of 2009. Records clearly confirms that Hoff has not complied with having the repairs made and he has been fined for TISH violations as well.

The city inspections department seem to have adopted the opinion of so many others about Hoff... "Your act is getting old."

I just get the biggest rush in knowing that "what goes around, comes around" and being here to witness it coming back around at Hoff. It couldn't be happening to a bigger jerk than John Hoff.
