Oh no, my actions have consequences
Hopefully now with precedent more will follow, I imagine there’s a lot of tweets being deleted at the moment too.
There’s no low these scum won’t stoop to, even on here yesterday there was a lad yesterday trying to imply Ana Kriegels murderers were immigrants, pure lies to further their agenda.
Sure they’ll be calling this an attack on free speech
Good. Every time one of these wasters knowingly spread misinformation online they should be held accountable.
Interesting timing…
Edit: I shouldn’t be so oblique, it’s been a stressful day, was feeling lazy
Brilliant, and with the passing of hate speech legislation now being a formality, we have a step towards creating laws that have actual teeth against this behaviour.
We must build upon the hate speech legislation to ensure this type of discourse is done away with
Good, hopefully more to follow. The accusations are clear incitements to violence against individuals and groups of people. Also, under the Irish constitution we have a right to a good name. Good to see a constitutional right being protected.
I know some people will say “took them long enough” but i would imagine this is am arrest without much precedence. Its important to lock down the first few in order to make sure everything goes smoothly.
How long now before they disappear back into the woodwork, hopefully not too long say we.
Phil Dog-kicker is shitting it today anyway
Great. Shame the government didn’t start taking action against these scumbags years ago.
Hopefully the judge will give a decent sentence, not a suspended one, as an example to other like-minded morons.
How about arresting politicians when they use fake claims?
The people defending this saying it’s free speech are the exact same people who’d be demanding prison time if this was a woman falsely accusing a man.
Hate filled braindead hypocrites.
Didn’t know we had social media 38 years ago.
