A troll goes to jail



I rather like this. Tough action in my home town. That smile won't last long in jail

"A man charged over Facebook vandalism for plastering child pornography over sites set up to pay tribute to two slain schoolchildren has been jailed.

The Brisbane District Court was told Bradley Paul Hampson, 29, posted offensive messages and photographs on Facebook "RIP tribute" pages for a 12-year-old boy stabbed at a Brisbane school and a nine-year-old Bundaberg girl abducted and murdered in February last year.

Hampson, of Tarragindi, on Brisbane's southside, today pleaded guilty to two counts using a carriage service, the internet, to cause offence and one each of distributing and possessing child exploitation material between February 14 and June 4 last year.

Prosecutors said Hampson "posted" photographs of one victim with a penis drawn near their mouth and highly offensive messages, including "Woot I'm Dead", "Had It Coming" and others too offensive to publish.

Judge Kerry O'Brien jailed Hamspon for three years, but ordered he be released after serving 12 months.

Trolls have posted some some obscene and offensive comments on this site in times past, and given me a bit of work in deleting them, so I would be happy if all such haters were deterred in some way

They deliberately harass people and there is not much you can do to avoid them. What I did was set up moderation for all comments until they got tired of their comments not appearing. But moderation impedes debate so I am pleased that I no longer have to use it.

When they impose themselves on you, it is very different from making comments that you are free to avoid. It is akin to gatecrashing or trespass on private property.
