This guy seems extremely unstable and also potentially seriously dangerous to people around him or even Garry.

Just had a quick read of Garry's stalker. Holy shit, call the local police dept and have him taken in.
I read all of the garry stalker posts, all 6 of them what the fuck, stop picking on garry [editline]5th December 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=buu342;49251497]I've been wondering the same. Why not just block him? Hotmail allows me to do that easily. I would have done that after the first few threats.[/QUOTE] technically that doesn't make the issue go away when someone that obsessed can always make new accounts, they will. His obsession in garry roots in being ignored, he absolutely is obsessed with the attention. at this point Andrew is saying shit like [QUOTE]I made a random angry comment about “[B]the only cure to scouse bitches being acid and fire[/B]“, and she chose to interpret it as being about her claiming she nows walks around with a bottle of water incase I ever bump into her in the street and throw acid in her face.[/QUOTE] that's a SMALL snippet of it garry pretty much has to make sure this guy doesn't ruin someones entire life at this point I'd rather he take it to the authorities but I'm pretty sure he has.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;49251533]They have. Several times for the last few years now it seems. Clearly.they don't consider him a real enough threat to keep him in. Though why he's not been thrown on a psych ward yet is another question.[/QUOTE] Unless he is a direct threat to himself or others, but: [quote]You’d be doing me a favour if you had me whacked, tell me to go to a specific place, anywhere in the UK, where you can have someone carry out the hit[/quote] That's cause for concern enough for at least somebody to check up on him.
Jesus fucking christ. I feel bad for garry.
Hot damn I've never wanted to beat the everliving shit out of someone so much my whole damn life, not even the guy who robbed me at knifepoint.
I like how this thread is in SH because of the new law but literally nobody's talked about it. Anyways, hopefully it'll help garry and others.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;49251973]Hot damn I've never wanted to beat the everliving shit out of someone so much my whole damn life, not even the guy who robbed me at knifepoint.[/QUOTE] That is not how we deal with people with mental issues.
I can't fucking believe he's still up to this. I remember hearing about this shit in 07-08 goddamn
[QUOTE=exhale77;49252435]That is not how we deal with people with mental issues.[/QUOTE] That doesn't excuse him at all. A personality like that doesn't belong in any society, past, present, or future. If he hasn't been institutionalized already over this shit, there's definitely a problem. Can the government in the UK forcefully admit a person into a mental hospital?

Blocking them won't stop it from comming from other places, but at least it stops the current adress to stop sending me for a bit. I donno, but I don't think Andrew would keep making dozens of accounts every day. A simple block on these accounts (which take about 5 seconds each) deals with it and fixes the issue for a while. I understand what you're saying about Garry being the one think probably stopping this guy from dropping Acid on women, but I'm tlaking about way back before Garry knew about Andrew's true colors. Back when he wasn't his "friend", and all Andrew was doing was threatening him/giving him advice.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;49252613]Can the government in the UK forcefully admit a person into a mental hospital?[/QUOTE] Yes they can, but it has to go through the court and have a medical professional approve of it. To be honest any government can do this, it's part of the punishment/rehabilitation charges.

Well, didn't read never mind, lol.
[QUOTE=massaki;49253907]I'm willing to wager that by the sounds of his mentality during his emails, Andrew probably isn't alive anymore.[/QUOTE] Considering he tried to make an alt on facepunch less then a day ago I very much so doubt he's dead.

His behavior doesn't warrant physical violence is all I was stating.
Wow, didn't know that he was still around. A similar thing happened last year. A guy in my class, D (31 years old), hangs out a lot with another guy, T. D is pretty chill and incredibly smart. He does some drugs occasionally, and is apparently on anti-depressants. From what I heard, during a party he drank quite a lot plus taking a hefty dose of benzodiazepine. This sent him into a trance like state during the party. Afterwards he started to grew more agitated as the days went past, especially against T. He claimed that his "consciousness was kidnapped" that night (probably because he had blacked out or something), and he started blaming T for it. The irritation grew to hate, and he started harassing the guy. He dropped out and lost his flat, so he ended up sleeping in shared washing rooms or secluded student corridors. Sometimes you could see him standing outside some entrance to the student buildings, begging for cash. He was using the school computers which he still had access to to beg for money and post threatening messages on facebook. He also managed to slip inside the main entrance and would violently beat on T's door until security would escort him from the premises. It all culminated to a point where he posted a message on facebook about where T is (he was staying at another friend's place because he was scared), and if he found him he would slit him open and hang him with his own guts from the balcony. This was enough for the police to bring him in, and after some time in jail he was admitted to a psych ward. Though since then he has been released and he still posts shit on facebook from time to time. He had a full blown psychosis and he has these paranoid delusions about conspiracies against him, that T, the school, and interpol is trying to silence him for his liberal ideas. He constantly pleads that people try and contact amnesty or UN on his behalf since his transmissions are getting intercepted and blocked or whatever. It's so incredibly sad. The reason I posted is because mentally ill people can latch on to a person in a way that is, for us, unthinkable. Their delusions fuels their hate, and no amount of reasoning can help them. Every piece of evidence you bring to the table is can be explained by some convoluted scheme that either makes no sense, or is way too ambitious for it's purpose.
I've got a whole new respect for Garry after reading through that, holy shit.
Read some of the emails again and honestly, this makes me think twice about criticizing Garry for anything video game related. The fact that he cares enough for to respond to Andrew is quite remarkable, and really expounds on his patience and kindness.
what was he doing during those two years that he didnt email? clearly something kept him busy enough
Just read all 6 parts on Garry's blog. Jesus christ that is one mentally deranged person. [editline]6th December 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=0x0000000C;49251355]Andrew seems like the kind of sick fuck that would end up strangling a woman to death without any reason and killing himself. I think professional help is needed in this case.[/QUOTE] He's already getting professional help, or at least he used to. Didn't work though.
High respect for you Garry, I feel sorry for all the shit you went through with this Andrew guy. On a different note though, why the fuck wasn't there laws for this kind of stuff in the UK yet?
I think Garry has set a world record for patience. Unbelievable to see it's still going on today.
i'd see it as an opportunity to read an ongoing novel
I just read all 6 parts of the blog. Wow. Garry, you did all you could for that guy. Sheds a new light on how developers and public faces get the craziest shit.

[QUOTE=DeEz;49255462] He's already getting professional help, or at least he used to. Didn't work though.[/QUOTE] I was referring to something more effective like a mental hospital (not the sanatorium types that end up fucking them up even further).
