Maricopa County Sheriff’s Officials Cover-up Gang-like Attempted Robbery/Murder in Sun City, AZ — Merchants Irate!

On July 2, 2009, Rev. John Stone was shot at by two different gunmen
in front of the Golden Star Chinese Restaurant at 10050 W. Bell Rd. Sun City, AZ, between 4:30 and  5:00 pm.

After doing business with Stone earlier that day around 2:00pm and after Stone had left the restaurant, one of the owner’s sons called Stone back and told Stone that they had decided to do more business with him; but not to come back until around 4:30pm.

Stone arrived back at the restaurant around 4:30 p.m.  Upon entering the restaurant he was met and led to a booth, whereby he was guarded for about 15-minutes when one of the owner’s sons showed-up inflamed acting hostile toward Stone.

The son told Stone that because of what they found on the internet about him, they wanted the $125 back that they had paid earlier for a sign.  Although they had paid by check, they were demanding cash.

Stone said that he tried to explain to them that he could not give them the money back at that time, and begged for time to produce the work as agreed.  But they insisted he go to the bank to get the money and as Stone tried to get up and leave, he said he was pushed to the front-door of the restaurant when he saw that both sons had guns pointed at him, directing him to go with them to Chase Bank.

Stone said, instead of following their lead, he hurriedly jumped into his auto as one of the  sons rushed toward him and held his gun within inches of the side of his head gangster style, and told Stone he was dead unless he got out of the car.  Meanwhile, the other son stood in-front of Stone’s auto, also pointing his gun side-ways at Stone’s face.

Stone said, he had one thought, and that was to run, and when he heard the first shot, he hit the gas, and the son in front jumped  on the hood and rolled off, while the other son that was standing at the window driver side was now positioned behind the car and another shot was fired. One of the bullets landed in the trunk, which by the way, either one of the bullets could have easily hit the gas tank.  I’m sure you can imagine what could have happened if the tank exploded.

Witnesses reported the shooting and officials arrived at the scene and taped off the area.  The auto Stone was driving license plate number was given to the officers and they found out that the car belonged to Stone’s son.

While Rev. Stone was out being shot at, Shirley, his wife was home working on the IRS appeal that needed to be filed in the federal district court by July 6. So when John arrived home with the shocking news he could be dead, all their attention for a time was directed toward that event.

Traumatized by the whole ordeal, Stone said he was not sure if anyone else was behind the shooting and thought that before he runs to the Sheriff’s office he needed to consult an attorney.

Ordinarily, a person that had been subjected to attempted robbery and shot at twice, would run to the cops immediately– but not Stone.

You might ask suspiciously– why did he wait?

Stone’s answer to this question is this.  This website is own solely and operated by Stone’s wife, Shirley.  As you can see, this website displays many articles alleging crimes committed by a multitude of judges against them, by usurpation of judicial power, bribery, trespass and major other violations of the constitution.  These acts are legally defined as “treason” against the United States and its Constitution  they swore to serve and to uphold.

It has been ruled that, “When a large number of men . . .  arm and organize themselves by divisions and companies, appoint officers and . . . engage in a common purpose to defy the law, . . . .  and . . .  to deprive any portion of the fellow-citizens of the rights to which they are entitled under the Constitution and laws, it is a levying of war against the state, and the offense is treason. Paxson, C.J., in Commonwealth v. O’Donnel, 12 Pa Co 97, 104-105 (Oyer & Tr , Allegheny Cty 1892).   More later on judges’ acts of trespass and treason.

The Stones believe that because Maricopa County Arizona officials, including many judges, have collectively agreed to deny the Stones’ justice and run them out of Arizona, a conspiracy was developed whereby judge after judge joined the conspiracy to block the Stones’ access to the courts.  Orders and judgments without authority of law were rendered to ratify previous decisions and judgments rendered against the Stones without being summoned to court for a full  and fair hearing to defend against the accusations.

A vexatious litigant pre-filing injunction order was rendered, which the law says before a pre-filing injunction could be rendered, there must be due process of law.

Courts have consistently ruled that, “’No judgment of a court is due process of law, if rendered without jurisdiction in the court, or without notice to the party.” Old Wayne Mut. Life Ass’n v. McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 15 (1907).

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in both Delong v. Hennessy, 912 F.2d 1144 (9th Cir.) and Molski v. Evergreen Dynasty Corp., 2007 U.S. App. Lexis 20966,; 500 F.3d 1047 (9th Cir. 2007), that a Court is without authority to issue a pre-filing injunction “without notice and an opportunity to be heard.”

Contrary to the law in violation of due process rights, Federal Judge Mary H. Murguia, rendered the pre-filing injunction preventing the Stones from obtaining their entitlement to damages from an illegal eviction and robbery.  But the pre-injunction has been used in every litigation that Stone has filed in all courts since its issuance, even the ones for extortion by officers and complaints of violations of the bankruptcy automatic stay.

So the Stones wonder if the pre-filing injunction is being used to further to block the criminal prosecution of the shooting.

Stone says they are already involved in legal battles involving Maricopa County officials.

He alleges that Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas wrongfully convicted him for making a citizen’s arrest calling it aggravated harassment.  That law officials denied him and family equal protection and equal treatment in and out of court, and because the judges are actively blocking him out of court with a fraudulent void order, he felt he needed to consult several attorneys on the matter, while Shirley continued working on their IRS appeal.

While the Stones were working on the litigation that was working against them, it seems the Sheriff department was working to whitewash the attempted robbery and shooting at Rev. Stone.

The Arizona Criminal Code, section 13-101 definitions states, “It is declared that the public policy of this state and the general purpose . . .  is to proscribe conduct that unjustifiably and inexcusably causes or threatens substantial harm to individual or public interest.”

Stone’s life was not the only life threatened in this situation.  Whether Stone filed a complaint right away or not is not the real reason for the official negligence and failure to act, when a victim was not necessary to make an arrest according to Arizona’s Shannon’s Law.

Stone says that the attorneys said that the gunmen if known, should have already been arrested and it didn’t matter when he, as a victim, files the complaint; although he should do it as soon as possible.  So, on July 7, Stone contacted the Maricopa County Sun City Sheriff’s office and talked to the dispatcher.  The dispatcher told Stone that an officer would get back to him, immediately.

The detective called and told Stone that they had reports of the shooting and the license plate number of the auto he was driving.  The detective also knew that the car was registered to his son, at the address where they now live.  However, the detective said they came by the Stones’ residence, but no one answered, so they didn’t know who the victim was.

The Stones say that they were home all weekend and no one visited their home.

However, shouldn’t the gunmen have been arrested anyway– at least for discharging a dangerous weapon in public?  Nevertheless, as of this date, July 27, 2009, the gunmen are still free.

Meanwhile, while investigating to find out why there had been no arrests, Stone was told by merchants in the shopping plaza that the Sun City Independent Newspaper covered the story of the incident.  As you can see above, the article states that a 19 year old pedestrian was hit by a car in the same area at the same time of the shooting, but there was no mentioning of the shooting.  See newspaper article above.

The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. rush-hour on Thursday within yards of McDonalds, Chase Bank, Pizza Hut, Subway, Wells Fargo Bank, Sun City Dialysis, Santa Fe Salon, Sun City Wigs, Fitzpatrick Auto Sales, Romen’s Gyros, Ace Hardware and 30 other businesses in the Mall-like plaza, anyone could have been killed.  Within a rock’s throw of the shooting, there are over 100 other businesses and residents.
