Twitter troll jailed for rape threats...

If it was just a couple of rape threats it would never have got to court in a million years.

The whole way the media is minimising what this man and others did to CCP and SC is bloody disgusting. They systematically, and over s number of days, stalked, threatened, ranted at them. They made sock puppet accounts and taunted them from them. Peter Nunn made videos where he ranted about them. I cannot imagine how terrifying it must have been for them.

His wife is supporting him. She's a cool cool wife

Glad he was jailed.

Ah yes its only rape not like real crime was threatened.

I think good that he was jailed. I do wonder what his wife has to say about it though.

GOOD! Finally this is taken seriously. He isn't a troll, these are serious threats aimed to shut up a particular group (women)

"It was not surprising, but a bit depressing anyway, to see some men on twitter starting to complain that Stella Creasy's "hurt feelings" is costing the taxpayer whatever-it-is to bang this guy up."

Really? Good grief. Yes let's ignore crimes of hate - just get over it, it's only a rape threat, no big deal. FFS.

Good. I'm glad this was taken so seriously, some of those threats were utterly horrible. All over a banknote, for Christ's sake.

I imagine he sees women as having particular roles/set functions in life and when one speaks out it creates some cognitive dissonance. I feel sorry for his family. What a lovely role model for his daughter.

I'm glad he got banged up - wish it had been for longer.

It was not surprising, but a bit depressing anyway, to see some men on twitter starting to complain that Stella Creasy's "hurt feelings" is costing the taxpayer whatever-it-is to bang this guy up.

Because god forbid we attribute responsibility for the consequences of criminal activity to the criminal himself, when there's a woman he hurt that we can blame instead.

It's likely he draws a distinction in his own mind between 'real women' and 'feminists'.

After all, the trope 'feminists aren't real women' is very old indeed.

I think it's also that they don't mind women in their place but women in the public eye are stepping out of their place. It's a hatred of women's voices.

"Where does a man find such hatred and venom for women as a gender when he has a female family, and presumably loves his child? I just can't understand it."

it is incomprehensible, but many men seem perfectly capable of despising women however many of them they have in their lives (otherwise, taking that to the extreme, the ones who would logically most hate women would be gay men with sons)

it's because women aren't real people to them

I am very glad they've recognised the severity of this and jailed him.
From what was quoted of his trial, he really didn't think he'd done something wrong - he was all banging on about his rights to freedom of speech.
