Man Gets 18 weeks prison for trolling facebook memorial pages. - Polidicks

Post control to the extreme, perhaps? While I can see him being punished, such as niced size fine, but not jail time, he'll just be another waste of resources in an already strained system. [QUOTE=R3mix;25724336]Don't agree at all. So much for " Freedom of Speech. " And for those of you who are going to take initiative and rate me dumb, let me just hearken upon you for one minute here. Facebook allows you to block and ignore users for a reason. At the bottom of their website it says it is a [b]PRIVATE[/b] network. (European Convention on Human Rights - look it up)[/QUOTE] Freedom of speech doesn't apply to the internet or harassment, broski.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25724830]Not sure if you're aware, and by the looks of it, you're not: There are normal people on the internet who are offended by people shitting on their family when they are grieving.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Some people don't go online and expect trolls, especially when grieving for the loss of a loved one. This guy apparently has no concern for anyone but himself. (Talking about longears34, not the guy that was jailed.)

[QUOTE=R3mix;25724860]Your opinion =/= Law Also, read my post above this one of yours concerning Facebook law.[/QUOTE] Thanks for pointing it out, but obviously in this case, it is the law... in the UK. It doesn't matter what Facebook says, there are laws governing the use of the internet in almost every country, including the one which this guy has had sanctions enforced on him.

[QUOTE=longears34;25724938]I'm offended by random people I don't know in any way shape or form insulting me while I'm grieving because that makes me special!!!![/QUOTE] It's funny because you're special.

I'm glad hes getting jail time. Theres always freedom of speech, but harassing bereaved families and friends is just going too far.

[QUOTE=bravehat;25724218]I don't see why people cared about Jade Goody anyway. Sure her family and friends yeah, but she had a better fucking turn out for her funeral than princess fucking Di. Seriously, look it's fucking ridiculous that some asshat who went on big cunting brother gets as much fucking publicity as she did. [img_thumb]http://www1.pictures.fp.zimbio.com/Jade+Goody+Funeral+Procession+07W0PGr0Lcsl.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Before she carked it Diana was getting VERY unpopular. People thought she was going mad. On the day she died there was an article in the Mail that went "now we know why Prince Charles talks to plants... he gets more sense out of them than the fruit he married". When Jade Goody died she got a lot of sympathy because her death was drawn out, so we knew she was going to die beforehand.

Wow, jail time is way over the line. Any kind of legal action is over the line.

[QUOTE=faze;25724970]You don't fucking get it. He was doing this obsessively. [/QUOTE] where does it say this, also irrelevant

[QUOTE=GunFox;25725062]Wow, jail time is way over the line. Any kind of legal action is over the line.[/QUOTE] Meh, I dunno. Doesn't say how long and how much he was doing this exactly. But again, harassment is harassment... [editline]29th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=longears34;25725067]where does it say this, also irrelevant[/QUOTE] If he was throw in jail, it's kind of implied.
