I disagree! Mr Troll.

Not only twitter and stuff, actual emails

In another email, seen by the Irish Independent, French refers to a Blaser R93 rifle and states: "I'm going to blow your big f***ing Jew nose right off," adding "nothing better than to fill a rat's mouth with lead".

Judge spared a jail sentence though.

Judge Anthony Halpin gave French a suspended six-month sentence, saying the courts had to send out the message that public representatives had the support of society and to warn people not to send them abusive comments.

The DDP should appeal the leniency of the sentence

I agree. But only after they appeal all the assaults, burglaries etc which result in no jail sentence. Then we can look at the internet hard-men.

Disgusting piece of ****. I think sometimes people, especially political figures, can over exaggerate comments on social media but this stuff was chilling. How would you not be impacted by that. He should have got a custodial sentence.

Apparently death threats are the norm for anybody in the public eye.

What had he got against her rat, I wonder.

The court was told the accused was living with his mother

There was a program on one of the UK channels recently where some z-list celeb who herself was the victim of some particularly nasty online trolling took on investigations on behalf of others (non celebs) who had suffered similar fates.

They managed to track down a few of them in real life, and in each case, they didn't look too dissimilar to the piece of **** shown above.

Will 4 times unelectable Lorraine Higgins again try to push for internet censorship I wonder now

What started it all I wonder? How did he come to make these threats initially?

This 'article' needs to explain the background.

you misread. the judge did not suggest that public representative should not be subjected to abuse and invective. he said they should not be subjected to "this kind of abuse and invective". "this kind" being death threats in graphic detail.

That t-shirts seen better days.

Foxhound38

Internet hard-man living with his ma, throwing chilling invective at someone who has achieved more than he ever will (whatever you think of her policies).

A custodial sentence (while justified) isn't needed here - just a media spotlight on this sad little man to show the world what a complete fcuking loser and tosser he is will suffice.

I thank him for validating what I always felt was what an actual troll looked like in real life.
