A look at the "walk" through Louisiana

So I'll be taking some information from the Facebook page about Leonard McQuown. This information details McQuowns journey through Louisiana and what occurred in the 3 months it took him to get to Baton Rouge and then on into Texas. Please by all means read this information and decide for yourself if it looks like what this clown is doing is truly what he claims. Remember folks this is the same guy who gave his "SOLEMN WORD" that he would do certain things like sleep in his tent for the rest of his "walk" or that he would keep better records of his charitable donations and both the money he received and the money he "donated". As is apparent by his lack of explanation regarding his "donation" to Ravens Outreach in Baton Rouge we see that to McQuown his word means nothing and he will continue to con people into helping him on his journey both financially and with places to stay and meals. Read below and you decide or go to Operation Footstomp via the link to the right in the Blog List and read what they have.

Solemn Word that means NOTHING

Solemn Word of Lies

The link above will take you to McQuowns "Solemn Word" video clip. In this video he gives his "solemn" word that he will do this "honorable walk" and that if he has to crawl across the "finish line" at Arlington he will do so. He will do this no matter what it takes or costs.

The problem is it is not costing him ANYTHING.

McQuown has given his "solemn" word before. He has given his "solemn word" that he will maintain a better accounting of the donations he receives and where the money goes. This is easily proven to be a lie by the clip from WBRZ in Baton Rouge that shows him to be a liar and a fraud.

McQuown has also given his "solemn" word that he will sleep outside in his donated tent and no longer stay with people he is conning nor in hotels or motels that are paid for by unwitting people he scams. This has also been proven to be a lie as he has stayed in the Red Oak Inn in DeQuincy LA for several days and it was paid for by someone else.

McQuown has been at this "walk" for 2.5 years now and yet has visited fewer then 15 Capitols. He has made the claim to have raised a significant amount of money, I believe I've seen it stated that the total is around $8k, and yet he cannot prove where any of it has gone. He, and his friend Alice (Lynn) Grenier, have successfully scammed Soldiers Angels out of an I-Pad tablet computer using the picture and information of an actual disabled young woman. He makes a big showing of donating $10 to a homeless man who stated he was a Veteran and yet McQuown ran away from the Ravens Outreach issue without staying around to clear it up and prove his detractors wrong. He's currently in Texas, or so he claims, and refuses to answer for his lies about the $250 donation scam he perpetrated on Ravens Outreach in Baton Rouge.

Do you STILL think this piece of trash is doing what he claims? Stick around because I'll continue to provide you with material that should at the very least have you scratching your head and wondering WTF.

It's time to shut you down

Here on this blog I will help coordinate the cyber battle with my fellow bloggers regarding one Leonard D McQuown. What follows below is a brief synopsis of Leonard's life and the game he is currently playing at the expense of our Veterans and the unwitting public.

Leonard McQuown makes it known that he is a USMC and US Army Veteran. What he has made less well known is that during his final year with the USMC he went AWOL/UA not ONCE but TWICE. The final AWOL/UA incident would actually be classified as DESERTION since he was gone for 200+ days and the USMC actually had to bring him back to stand for the charges against him. This is the coward that is Leonard D McQuown. A person who makes a mockery of USMC honor and tradition. A person who DESERTED his fellow Marines and had no intent of ever returning. He'll deny that last part but the fact remains that he had every chance to return but did no such thing.

McQuown is now playing a game of "walking" across the US to visit each capitol under the guise of raising awareness of the plight of homeless Veterans. McQuown is not a legitimate Federally recognized 501(c)(3) non profit nor is he affiliated with any such organization. Two Non Profits that originally supported him withdrew their support after questions arose regarding McQuown. McQuown has stated he has not kept records of donations received nor where those donations went after he received them. When questioned to show proof of his charitable donations he cannot provide ANY documentation to refute claims that he is lining his own pockets with the money he is given.

In future blog posts I will begin to provide the proof as I and my friends have it that will show conclusively how Leonard McQuown is indeed a coward, a fraud, and a low life scumbag who should be sitting in jail for this scam he is perpetrating on those who hold our military Veterans in such high regard.

Below is a link to the most recent example of his lying scam and it was caught during a WBRZ's interview with McQuown. It shows McQuown's lie that he is out to help raise awareness of our homeless Veterans by the followup the reporter did to the charity Ravens Outreach where McQuown said he had donated $250. Read the article and watch the clip and then YOU be the judge if McQuown is truly trying to help as he states or if he is simply lining his own pockets while "walking" across this country at other's expense.
