also this is disturbing if true

basically judge knew TR would be in danger, but didn't care... "so what"

yeah i saw that... its slightly out of context but was stupid to say

Enforcing that law in that case is ilegitimate

because 1: There was no reason why the public should not know that the grooming happened

and 2: I dont think Tommy was informed of this

hes saying he doesnt care because he will be in protective custody the whole time

"you could be put into protective custody"

What’s the difference between all the journalists outside the court when count dankula was being tried and the grooming gang case?

not that he would

I'd understand a gag law being enforced in a critical matter

like an inminent terrorist attack or something

I think the blackout was that there were so many defendants that they couldn't try them all at once and didn't want the outcome of the first trial affecting the second one

hence the blackout

but still, how would TR know he couldn't do what he did

he was media

he was covering an event

and he got arrested

prior record/shit be damned

If he had been informed he wouldnt be in jail

he knew, because thats what he was arrested for in the first place

right

I get that

I dont think he knew

he is not stupid

if he knew he wouldnt have reported on it

and I concede he probably did break whatever shit law / command / whatever, but it's still wrong

maybe the first time... but not the second

He didnt look like he had any idea that the law was in place for that case

I get what you're saying wacka, but he's done a ton of shit that he could have since been arrested for if that's true

its kinda like YT, you don't know what would cause you to be arrested...

he hasnt done the thing that he was expressly told not to do since he was arrested for the same thing tthough

He and his lawyer know exactly what he can do and say without getting arrested

I do agree, as Sargon said, it was a poor choice

mmhm I think there is something Im missing

He knew he would be arrested?

I don't think he did

hes already been arrested for the exact same thing... I dont think he would just forget that

but he probably knew it *could* get him arrested, not that he would have

calculated risk that ended poorly I guess

anyway

again, we're discussing the semantics of a shitty law

whatever law that is

contempt of court

Well just being himself could get arrested

I'm a free speech absolutist and I believe we shouldn't even need to have this discussion

on a public road (pretty sure), covering an event as a journalist

Ok now that I think, the rest of the media left

so he knew there was something going on

I don't think the media was ever there

whatever

also, the gag order wasn't in place UNTIL he was arrested, right?

the case is that he knew the media was missing for some reason

So I guess they informed all the established media

but not him

and then they watched his stream and found the opportunity they were looking for

it may have been ok for other media to go there... but he was expressly told he couldnt as part of his suspended sentence

He could not report on anything related to Muslims?

of course he could

so just that case?

hes been doing that forever

no hes been reporting on that case too

"but he was expressly told he couldnt as part of his suspended sentence"

can u explain this

but not right outside the building... which is mentioned in the act

ah ok

that seems arbitrary

but yea I guess it wasnt a smart decision in his part

unless he doesnt care for his well being as much as for his mission

which is probably the case

also in the beginning of the stream you could see him talking to the defendants layers

in that case he has done a great job

getting into it with them

The way I see it he wants ppl to know about whats going on

and by getting arrested he has achieved it

way faster than he would have otherwise

I dont think he knew he was gonna be arrested but he knew it was a posiblity

he has said many times before that he will die for his cause

thing is... and this may not be a pouplar opinion... but those guys on trial.. could... COULD be innocent

that is irrelevant

he was just reporting that the trial was going on

not accusing them of anything

as far as I know

dude, he went on a 2 hr rant about grooming gangs... Im not saying they arent happening.. and if theyre guilty I hope they die in prison... but srsly

whats the problem with that

a trial about grooming

he talks about grooming

I dont see anything wrong with it

He didnt say X person is a criminal

ok.. so some guy gets accused of rape (lets say for argument hes innocent, but lets face it his life is over now) .. and he walks around outside the courthouse talking about "the patriarchy" and "sexual harassment" and rape... oh but its nothing to do with this case...

so what

is not ilegall

a child could link them

oh come on

I would think he's a nut job and ignore

and he's allowed to speak because 1A here in the US

wacka you are reaching very far to try to say that he did something wrong

The law is clear

u cannot say X person is a criminal unless it has been proven

otherwise u can talk about the topic as much as u want
