What, it's a crime to be a dick now?

Good thing I don't live in England, I'll go and troll away on your British sites, and there isn't a thing you can do.

>The defence raised possible mental health issues but they were dismissed by the bench.
what is this shit

There's a reason 1984 was set in London.

brb, reconsidering my long-standing belief that america is the shittiest first-world country of them all.

That's beyond trolling and being a dick.
How would you like it if someone came up to you on the street and started making fun of your recently deceased mother?
Before you say that it's not the same, these people aren't as tolerant of idiots on the web as we are.
While the sentence may seem harsh, I bet the reason he got it was for not being sorry for it, and being a generally cocky dick in court.
I'm glad he got put in jail.

>>11761664

Pretty much

>yelling at a police constable
>aggravated assault >_<

i'm glad he was jailed because he sounds like a shitty troll. calling what he did trolling is ridiculous to the point of being offensive to all the people out there doing real trolls. artful trolls. so fuck him

>>11761708
>implying there's not a huge fucking difference between doing something really, really dickish and doing something that should get you thrown in jail

Oh for fuck's sake, that's ridiculous.

I'm proud to be an American, cause at least I know I'm free.... Well you the rest of the song.

>Unemployed Coss was only caught when he sent residents on his street photos of himself saying he was an internet "troll".
Can someone please explain that to me? I know the words in that sentence, but I seem to be having a hard time following.

>Laughed clear
Well said, Captcha

>>11761741
It was only 18 weeks. Besides, it'll be good for him, stop him from acting like such a retard.

>>11761708
No man, lets have an example.

I trolled the fuck out of a chav who had set up a memorial page for his piece of shit friend who shot himself by accident with an illegal gun, hundreds of equally chavvy twats wereleaving comments making out the guy to be the immortal saviour, son of our lord Allah the glorious.

This is not a case of people tracking down the 6 year old daughter of an average guy who was killed in an accident and telling her daddy is burning in hell.

The normalfags of course always play to the extremes and ignore the actual facts in favour of fear-mongering and ignorant judgement.

>Unemployed Coss was only caught when he sent residents on his street photos of himself saying he was an internet "troll".
>One of the residents passed the photos to police who interviewed him before he eventually admitted to posting abusive messages.

LOL ILL SEND MY VICTIMS PHOTOS OF ME NO BAD CAN EVER COME OF IT HERP DERP
He should be sentenced alone for being such a dumbass.

The real question: Is this more or less insane than having people drive around London in vans with radar detector thingees to see if anyone's illegally watching TV without a TV license.

>>11761785
How do you know this wasn't a family morning the loss of a loved one?
Also, you're forgetting that the Chairperson in the QBD was a woman.

>>11761788
>VICTIMS

actually, to me it reads like he just went up and down his street handing out flyers of himself with "WORLD'S GREATEST INTERNET TROLL" on them to all his neighbors or something.

People just don't have tough skin anymore. They fold like maps from any negative comments. It's really like English law is run by Youtube.

>>11761708
>How would you like it if someone came up to you on the street and started making fun of your recently deceased mother?

I wouldn't like it, but I don't think the person doing it should be jailed.

>>11761838
Ok, bad analogy.
How would you like it if someone came up to you on the street and started making fun of your dead mother, then followed you home shouting the same abuse at you and after you got inside they started shouting the abuse down your chimney and through your letterbox.

>>11761863
Your Facebook is not your private property.

Britain is a shithole, it's Orwellian country. Totally fucked up

>>11761863
>takes the internet WAY too seriously.

>>11761870
Then they followed you to work and did it there too.

>>11761863
people all over the internet seem to forget that your PC has a mystical "off" switch that prevents the nasty people from saying mean things to you

>>11761891
It's called discussion, faggot.
How about you add something constructive and not just greentext me some troll line.
>inb4 mad.

>>11761863
It's still a bad analogy. With the internet I could just close the page.

I've never been so proud to be an American.

Rest of Europe is still awwwwwwright.

>>11761863
And now that scenario is completely irrelevant.
You do not live on facebook. It is a website. A website that can be closed and not looked at/deleted. A website where you can hide the coments of others easily.

>>11761896
>>11761863
Honestly, I don't care. You must be either a) White Knight bitching or b) the victim of one of these trolls

I'd say fuck off and go cry in a corner till I remembered I was on /r9k/ which is basically the crying corner of 4chan

>>11761902
I've already said this, but these people don't know how to deal with internet trolls. They don't realise that it's just people trying to piss them off, so they take everything that is said personally.
For that reason, they aren't just going to let someone making fun of their deceased slide.

>>11761896
That would fall under general stalking regulations. The fact that "stalking" and "Internet trolling" are not separate in England is a very alarming concept - and now we have a precedent case.

>>11761933
Or, you know, a troll.

blox

>>11761889

Where I live in London, there's this huge council banner outside the train station saying 'We're fighting against Enviro-crime'

I had to do a double take, because it was something straight out of 1984.

Pic semi-related.

>>11761902
Yes, but it won't prevent the same people to continue or even escalate the abuse to psychical or social levels.

If they do not get a response, they merely escalate.

Britain... I am very, very disappoint

>>11761997
>we have to throw trolls in jail because if we ignore them they'll escalate to IRL crime

thought police detected

Oh come on.

It's not as if the police were tracking IPs and busting his door down.

The faggot only got caught because he was stupid enough to advertise his troll status with pictures and shit to his fucking neighbours. Even then he only got busted after he capitulated and admitted to shit.

Should it be a crime? No... but it's not as if the police are spending their time trying to track trolls down. You pretty much have to fall into their lap for them to do anything about it.

can someone explain to me what this smiley is supposed to be
c")
didn't feel this was worthy of its own thread. thx

This happened in Australia aswell. The whole commonwelth takes facebook way too seriously.

Soon they'll be arresting people for calling others names.

Trolling
BANNED IN BRITIAN

>>11762037
why is policing thoughts and attitudes wrong? We already have such laws and practices where we can manage them.

Stop parroting a 80 year old book like a blind faggot and think objectively you moron.

>>11762269
>on 4chan
>arguing for thought-crime laws

careful you might get arrested for trolling

>>11762269
>why is policing thoughts and attitudes wrong?
In my head I'm picturing myself murdering you with a shovel.

First, you have Old ladies being put on Curfew for selling a gold fish to someone under the age of 16 and now you have this shit? Good game Britain, welcome to 1984

>>11762269
>why is policing thoughts and attitudes wrong?

where do you fall on the political spectrum. I'm just curious.
