'Westminster chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said that Mullen would get credit for his early guilty plea, but declined to remand him to immediate custody.Goldspring ultimately agreed that the threats occurred in “isolation,” and that Mullen had “strong views about gender equality. Quite appropriately so.”'

Appropriately? The magistrate fucking supports his views so he's letting him off?! Am I reading that right, please tell me I'm wrong.

"Goldspring ultimately agreed that the threats occurred in “isolation,” and that Mullen had “strong views about gender equality. Quite appropriately so.”'

"Quite appropriately so" would only make sense if Mullen had also targeted two men in the same way but he didn't. So what Goldspring is really talking about is that Mullen is "quite appropriately" a Trans Rights Activist.

Meanwhile, women get arrested for "quite appropriately" advocating for women's rights without ever once threatening to kill anyone.

Sorry I misread the sentencing, but cannot edit my post, but now I am astonished by this (thanks @Terref ):

Quite appropriately so???😨

yetanotherusernameAgain · 04/06/2024 22:51

Prisons are nearly full so probably not surprising he didn't get a custodial sentence.

It wasn't just the suspended sentence:

"Mr Goldspring handed down two eight-week prison sentences, suspended for two years, to be served concurrently."

"He also ordered Mullen to complete a 12-month community order, including 20 days rehabilitation activity and a requirement to complete 150 hours of unpaid work."

Man who sent JK Rowling threat in Scots Gaelic saying he'll kill her faces jail

Glen Mullen told the Harry Potter author that he would kill her with a 'big hammer' in a sinister voice note

‘Strong views about gender equality’ 🟰 he hates it.

Or is the judge using ‘gender equality’ in a whole new sense, not to mean equal rights for women?

Pudmyboy · 04/06/2024 21:51

Disgusting that he got away with this, no remorse shown by him I note, he just thought no-one would understand Gaelic. 2 weeks suspended sentence for a real threat of violence to two women (so a week each?)!😮!
I wonder if he had done physical violence whether he would be sent on an anger management course.....
Actually I could do with one right now, I am raging!

I'll put this here again.

The BBC wants to know what is important to us for them to cover in the election

He didn't get jail - two eight-week prison sentences, suspended for two years, to be served concurrently.

And the magistrate Paul Goldspring said that Mullen was a "man of previous good character" who had "strong views about gender equality". So that's all right, then. FFS.

But, don't you know? There are strong feelings on both sides. The heart needs to be taken out of the debate.

Hmm
Nomnomnew · 04/06/2024 21:04

Surprised (not really) that the BBC has reported this but has been silent as to the fact it’s a TRA and that JKR and Rosie Duffield were particular targets due to their GC views. 🙄

Cosmosforbreakfast · 04/06/2024 20:38

So he basically got away with what he did. A pathetic suspended sentence is certainly going to send a strong message to all these violent men : 'do what you like mate, we'll do nothing about it, cheers!'

I think a big part of the reason this issue has got so huge is the number of men who have jumped on it as an excuse to insult, abuse and threaten women and be applauded for it.

I don't believe they give a flying fuck about "trans rights". I think their motivation is to be able to make hate filled, threatening and abusive posts towards women and be praised for it.

If this man ends up doing time then we'll see them starting to stfu. There's no point defending trans rights if they don't get to make rape and death threats towards women.

We'll see how much they really care about trans people when they can no longer safely threaten women.

I’ll be very interested to read his justification for his behaviour.

did I miss the wall to wall coverage of WPATH on the BBC?

Yes! Here it is:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65627756

'The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) said the Florida bills would have "a chilling effect on the medical community by inserting politics into healthcare".'

May 2023

DeSantis speaks to a crowd gathered in Florida

DeSantis limits trans treatments, drag shows, pronoun use in Florida

The governor says the laws will make Florida a "refuge of sanity". Critics called them "mean spirited".

And let Billy Bragg know one of the people on his side of the table might want a visit.

Quite. Funny how Billy has no compunction about being on the same side of the table as a bunch of violent psychopaths.

And there was me thinking it was GC women who were aligned with "the wrong sort of people"....

Male pattern violence.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 29/04/2024 18:59

But the abuse happens equally from both sides, so we can expect the arrest of a GC woman for threatening someone trans any day now...

I hope he goes to prison . JKR is a queen.
