Manchester's Self-Described 'Internet Troll' Jailed For Offensive Web Posts
noob22 writes "According to BBC Online, 'An "internet troll" who posted obscene messages on Facebook sites set up in memory of dead people has been jailed. Colm Coss, of Ardwick, Manchester, posted on a memorial page for Big Brother star Jade Goody and a tribute site to John Paul Massey, a Liverpool boy mauled to death by a dog. The 36-year-old "preyed on bereaved families" for his "own pleasure," Manchester Magistrates Court heard.'" My favorite line: "Unemployed Coss was only caught when he sent residents on his street photos of himself saying he was an internet 'troll.'"
Typical type of thing from someone from the 3rd city in England. Full of trolls it is.
I don't think many people would deny it happened, we just hope they had killed 10 times more jews!
Why shouldn't it be illegal to be a dick, besides the argument that it would chill constructive debate? It's all about finding a reasonably objective definition of "dick", and how much people should tolerate. Like it's always been. In order to truly be free, you must be free from other people - and unfortunately the only current way to enforce this is creating a relatively impersonal system manned by people.
Emotions! In your brain!
"the crime was incredibly anti-social behavior in the form of harassment"
I'm highly offended by someone calling me names over the internet and saying things about dead people! In fact, I'm not just offended by that, but I'm offended by your post in general! I demand that you be arrested for offending me!
Filthy, filthy copyrapists!
Oh, but hey. Forget freedom of speech for just a moment! He said mean things to me over the internet! Anyone that posts anything that I find offensive should be jailed immediately!
Filthy, filthy copyrapists!
You're talking about jailing someone for internet comments, right? I don't know what would make anyone think that is acceptable.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
There is ethnic cleansing in Palestine which is far more ironic...
Anyone who claims that ethnic cleansing is taking place in Palestine has no idea of what true ethnic cleansing is all about, or what it looks like.
Anal Vapors Part 1 by Drunken Bastard i.e. Brian Shanor
Dr. Jurkov, the world renowned gynecologist sat in his office examining the patient file he agreed to examine because he owed a nonsexual favor (for once) to his brother. This case interested him as they sat discussing it one day, and he decided to take the case just because he thought his brother was full of shit and misinterpreted the results of the tests. That was 6 weeks ago. Today, he believed the outrageous test results which were in front of him as he waited for the patient to show up for her appointment.
A few moments later, he was interrupted from his daydreams of young boy scouts by a knock on the door. His receptionist poked her head in.
" Doctor, your next appointment is in the waiting room."
"Yeah, the nasty bitch with the constipation problem. She's here for her test results. Send her in." As the receptionist went to get the patient, he reached into his pants and pulled a worm out of a festering sore on his penis. "Here comes your mother, you little bastard," he said and ate it with a flourish. He turned around as the nasty woman was shown in. "Good afternoon," he said and held out his hand to shake hers, but thought better of it when he saw her slick pus coated fingers. "Have you been scratching your herpes sores again? I thought we discussed that earlier."
"I'm sorry, doctor, but it felt so good. Uh, do you have my test results?" she asked as she started to lick her fingers. The doctor fought back the urge to help lick her fingers and her crotch, remembering that he actually gave her the disease during a previous appointment.
"Yes... And they are very interesting. Tell me, do you engage in anal intercourse?"
"Yes, especially with this itch."
"Hmmm. I see. Are you, by any chance, bisexual?"
"Yes I like to carpet munch."
"Were you engaging in cunnilingus and ingested menses?"
"Cunni.....what?"
"Carpet munching."
"Yes, and I pulled out a couple of bloody tampons before I started, but I ended up getting a mouthful of tomato paste."
"And you swallowed it?"
"Yes."
"And you took it in the rear and ate bloody fish within 48 hours of each other?"
"Yes. Does this have anything to do with this killer constipation?"
"Oh I think it explains your condition quite nicely. You see, you are pregnant. More precisely, you have a rectal pregnancy. You were impregnated up the anus. I've seen this in porno movies and medical journals before. That is why I had to ask you those questions. This will be the first bowel movement birth I have ever seen. You are going to have a bunghole baby."
"When?"
"Well, you're about 2 months along now. At 8 months, we can give you a laxative to induce labor. The constipation will get worse, but it will feel good to take a birth shit."
"Alright, doctor, I guess I'll see you in 2 weeks."
Six months passed. During this time, the woman came in regularly for examinations. The doctor stopped using his penis and started fisting her on his desk. When he examined her anus, he would trim back her hemorrhoidal tissue and take it home to cook and serve as ravioli. Gradually, his penile worm problem cleared up, but the festering sore remained, so he found a woman who would give him head and suck out all the rancid pus.
When the time to give birth approached, he met the woman as she was wheeled into the hospital. "Ah. So good to see you. How are you feeling?" he asked as he looked over her shit-bloated body.
"It hurts!!! Oh God, IT HUUURRRRTTSSSS!!!!!"
"There. There....There. There.... Nurse! Wheel her into the delivery room."
She was taken to a room, stripped, and bent over a table and strapped into that position. A nurse came and began feeding her bars of Ex Lax and started a Milk of Magnesia I.V. A bit later, the doctor came in to examine her. "Well, let's have a look and see wha....." He
It doesn't matter what names you use. In the end, you are celebrating prosecuting people for fucking with other people. Maybe I should prosecute you for calling me names? It's a pattern of harassment! On facebook, anyone from any group can be blocked. If you don't like what someone says, block them. Take them to court? Hah! And you just justified it. No matter what snappy comebacks you have, that makes you a whiny thin-skinned douchebag.
