To think Lucy Connolly has been made an example of?

[SouthernFashionista]

Have any of you read this article about Lucy Connolly who tweeted inflammatory comments following the Southport murders? I have to admit that at the time I was fully supportive of having her locked up, with the key thrown away. But reading this article made me view it all a little differently. Surely she has done her time?

What do you mean - I asked if you were posting from personal experience or a hypothetical scenario.

No thanks. You can quote where Lucy actively encourage the minder of children though?

She mentioned setting fire to hotels that had people inside some of which were children. Your point was that her words never mentioned children. There were children inside that hotel. She called them bastards. Not children.

I had very clearly said this was a friend of mine that it has happened to.

I still do not understand why you think this was hypothetical when I clearly said it had happened to my friend.

Please explain why you thought I was not speaking from experience when I said 'my friend' or are you not sure what a friend is?

Obviously not ok.

To be fair, it did seem that you were giving a hypothetical scenario at first

100%

Well it wasn't clear to me at the time - I see I missed the post you were replying to - plus you also asked a hypothetical question yourself.

She was referring to children not adults read her quotes yourself. She changed it to “even adults are someone’s children” because she couldn’t show me the quote where Lucy wanted children dead

Why did it? I very clearly stated it had happened to a friend of mine.

It was very clear I said my friend was stabbed 71 times and had her throat slit. I recounted what had happened.

Me asking a hypothetical question doesn't suggest this was hypothetical.

When did I say it was okay for people to be burned alive? I have said further up thread that her crime should warrant a fine or a community service order. I have never once said her tweet was okay I said it didn’t warrant a sentence and I can’t actually believe she’s been jailed over a tweet she deleted within hours.

Without knowing what her counsel said it's difficult to comment, other than she is appealing her sentence - 'her barrister, is expected to argue that the judge miscategorised her offence, with a sentence wrongly based on intending to incite serious violence.'

Although I do also think the judge's use of a comma in your quote could be seen as ambiguous - did her counsel agree she intended to incite serious violence or was that a pause before stating the judge's opinion?

I can only reiterate that I was asking a genuine question.

Got it, so not ok for your home. Ok for
someone else’s home

They both mean the same thing. Intending to incite serious violence was what made it a category a offense. The counsel agreed with that.

You forgot the “lol” at the end of the message

Obviously not - but I still think her sentence was harsh - I guess we shall find out either way after her appeal hearing next month.

Sorry would be the words you could use going forwards after assuming someone made something up like that.

We don't know what the counsel agreed - or he may have said something that indicated she used a 'position of trust, authority or influence to stir up hatred' because of her social media footprint - which is also in the same category box.

We do know, because it’s been written by the judge. If the counsel had not agreed, I’m
sure there would have been an objection to having this read out in court.

I didn't assume you made it up - I asked a genuine question. Although I think we went beyond sorry in your first reply to me.

You asked if I had made it up or if it was real. You didn't expect me to be able to prove it.

Nice deflection there ....we see you.

Do counsel have advance sight of sentencing remarks? Did her counsel imply rather than directly state she intended to incite serious violence? Plus, I still think the judge's comma could be seen as ambiguous.

Are you being serious? You think the judge can just say whatever he wants in the courtroom? Would be a totally bizarre thing to include if it wasn’t true, it’s read out in front of her counsel.

What’s ambiguous about the comma? I genuinely don’t understand what you’re trying to imply
