Internet Troll Gets Tracked Down, Confronted in Real Life

[chomlee]

Ok, first of all, it really bothers me that what people get out of this is that the guy makes racist comments. Why does racism trump everything. Pretty soon, you will see a guy rob a bank, shoot and kill 3 people and when he leaves he says the "N" word. The main focus will end up being about the "N" word and forget about the 3 people killed.

Anyhow, although I think racial comments are mean and hateful, making comments about people on their sympathy pages when they die is orders of magnitude worse than using any racial slur. To me, making a racial comment is an uneducated comment usually by and uneducated individual. Making a vulgar comment about someone who just died and you dont even know is down right evil.

[citation][nom]captaincharisma[/nom]LOL FAIL dude you just made a racist remark against britsbut you can try again if you like[/citation]


That isn't racism. That's discrimination/or being prejudice towards a group of people. Not a race of people.

[citation][nom]danjimaru[/nom]"the BBC reporter points out that 'people have gone to prison for less'", yep the typical briton attitude about freedom of speech and civilian rights vs morality. I don't support racism and what this guy does is wrong but hate speech in general is valid and people that can't understand this need to keep the hell away from the internet. The same people that point fingers to this troll will be the type of citizen to organize neighbourhood watches against former sex offenders, pedos and radical islamists to publicly "expose" and lynch them in any way possible... just reading the comments here gives me the creeps[/citation]

So your here tring to defend sex offenders, pedos and radical islamists? So you would have no problem not knowing if they were in your neighbourhood if you had kids that went to school, or played in the park, or came home late after being out with thier friends with one of them nearby? Wow you must not be a parent. lol.

Being a troll could be less alluring if it had consequences.

Fail? There is no racist remark just a generalization derrived from the fact that in my view brits live in a democratic country yet managed to waive all their rights by supporting some stupid local torry here and there on their personal crusade of populistic tainted political agenda to rid the people of their rights and enslave them in a politically favourable watchtower society. The result is that political & juridical figures in the UK made it their sport to crack down on the last *virtual* place in Britain that in their eyes isn't regulated enough (hint; the internet).
Maybe the only other country in Europe that has nationwide firewalls... *erm, I mean that does prominent ip blockades is Italy... and that country is ruled by a media mogul that has more often been linked to the mafia - just my 2 cents

Kinda reminds me of Jay and Silent bob Strikes Back, where they go to the houses of anyone saying negative things. Then beating on the kid.

Internet trolls aren't real trolls. They're just attention whores. Real trolls live in Michigan's lower peninsula - just ask any Yooper.

I'm a jew, I know what exclusion from society leads to; alienation and more hatred. Scrutinizing anyone for their beliefs and disfunctions as anti social as they may be is not going to help society as a whole, it may keep my children safe but at the expense of someone else's kid that isn't an option.

Offensive speech is the only type of speech that needs to be protected.

If someone says nice things all the time they will never come under scrutiny... The second you say something offensive is when you 'ruffle feathers' and things start to happen.

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke freely and was offensive to many of the time. Change came from that offensive speech. Facebookers in Egypt were spoke offensively to their leaders. Guess what... things Changed. The Boston tea party was certainly offensive to the british... but guess what that lead to...

I think they should remix this series, "Hunting Internet Trolls, With Rampage Jackson"

you really think your view has any creditability when you slander a group of people like that? wow

 

[DroKing]

I've always believed in this fact where everybody is entitled to their opinions as long as they don't have the intent to harm others physically or have the desire. You are in the clear no matter how offensive your words are as long as you cause no harm to people around you physically because its clear in our law that if you harm one other citizen via bodily harm or theft, you get spanked. Why cant we keep it that simple instead of catering to crybabies?

Certainly no more than yours has by citing the dictionary in bold font to make your point seem..... more valid?

well you know i had to boldface it for the lesser knowledgeable people in here that always seem to miss stuff like that

Racism is a form of discrimination.

 

[lamorpa]

Anyone who posts racist comments just for kicks in a forum where people are grieving over a person's death is not a human being, they are a piece of garbage and deserve no better treatment than such.

Oh good, cuz I was under the impression that the post was directed to me as you had cited me in it
At any rate I'm the author of the initial post and only the author may excercise authority upon a text. You as reader are merely entitled to your opinion. If you were a critic then you could really exercise some form of interpretation of my text to be left to consider by the public opinion. But for you to be a critic of my text you clearly lack knowledge of my person and the substance of my written works. You may therefore base your critical opinion only upon that single post that you percieved to be hateful and racist in nature. You have absolutely no reason thereafter to doubt my declaration (here refered to as my second post in this thread) other than for reasons of practicing pure sophism.

Anyone heard of freedom of speech? Anyone who things this guy shouldn't be allowed to say what he wants has a mental problem.

[citation][nom]cronik93[/nom]and what country do you live in?[/citation]
Try this out:

"The former French film star Brigitte Bardot was convicted today of provoking discrimination and racial hatred by writing that Muslims were destroying France."

"The Paris court has fined her £11,500 and ordered her to pay £800 damages to two anti-racist groups."

-Tuesday 03 June 2008 The Independent, Uk

So apparently in socialist, touchy feely france (lower case f on purpose) it is illegal to talk bad about certain groups. Not all countries have the same freedoms. Everyone has the freedom to make themselves look like an a$$hat, but some countries have consequences for those actions. Here in the USA everybody on the left calls you out, shouts you down and makes you say I'm an a$$hat, sorry.

What this butthead troll deserves is one person from each race, visiting his house with soap bars wrapped in towels, a good beating like we used to do in the military to a screwup. Now those are consequences.

freedom of speech is ok but when what you say makes you sound hypocritical expect to get called out on it

Yes, he can say what he wants, but there will be consequences.

[citation][nom]sincreator[/nom]I thought a hate crime was when you react in any way that directly affects someone. That could be in the form of uttering threats, physical violence, severe emotional damage/psycolocical. Just making racists comments in general, or having opinions in general about differences in skin colour/religion/race isn't a hate crime as far as I know. It maybe racist still, but not a crime. I'm pretty surprised that human's in most civilized nations haven't evolved past the point of racisim yet. It's getting better though. If you look back on what has gone down in history, alot more bad things have happened then what we see today. Maybe in the next 50-100 years it will be pretty much gone. Hopefully....because there is no place for it at all IMO.[/citation]

Actually acting on racism isn't necessarily a crime either. A hate crime is an action that is ALWAYS a crime, but motivated by racial reasons. This often changes the sentencing. Just acting on racism (e.g. not inviting minorities to your birthday party) is horrible, but not a hate crime.

Racism is a horrible thing, but I am definitely willing to pay that price for freedom.
