This guy is human garbage. His "supporters" are human garbage. They are shit that a decent society should scrape off the bottom of its boot.

2 months in jail, 3 years probation, 12 month social media ban, a personal protective order, and $1,900 restitution seems light to me.

So the guys lawyer argued that he was just "trying to win an argument [online]"...

The guy doxxed his "opponent" and then went to her dying father's hospital room while he was asleep, took a selfie without any consent, and publicly replied to her comment with the photo. I get the lawyer is just literally doing his job defending his client but holy shit that's insane behavior.

How would "here's me stalking your family" ever "win an argument" anyways???

Everyone is entitled to a defense lawyer who mounts a spirited defense. This guy didn't have much to work with.

For sure, the lawyer is doing what he's gotta do. Psychotic client, is all.

and his supporters were outside "jeering" his victim. Truly the worst of us.

Truth. Best part of this story is the people who showed up to support Britt. Contrast the pictures: one is of Bubba, the sewage-brain psycho hepped up on hate, grinning about threatening a dying man alone in a hospital because teh gheys, and the other is a wall of no-nonsense good folk who might've been helping someone move into their new apartment that day if they weren't so busy fighting fascism.

That's why the justice didn't agree. It was a terrible argument and properly dismissed.

It's not about winning an argument, it's about coercing the opponent into silence.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

It wasn't about winning the argument. It was about terrorizing the victim.
