What’s believed to be the first case in Canada of alleged criminal
harassment-via-Twitter is just a judge’s decision away from being
over.

After hearing closing submissions Tuesday from Chris Murphy, who
represents 54-year-old Greg Elliott, Ontario Court Judge Brent Knazan
is expected to rule on Oct. 6.

In the balance rides enormous potential fallout for free speech
online.

Elliott is charged with criminally harassing two Toronto female
political activists, Steph Guthrie and Heather Reilly, in 2012.

Allegations involving a third woman were dropped.

The graphic artist and father of four lost his job shortly after his
arrest, which was well-publicized online, and if convicted, could go
to jail for six months.

These are astonishing repercussions given that it’s not alleged he
ever threatened either woman (or any other, according to the testimony
of the Toronto Police officer, Detective Jeff Bangild, who was in
charge) or that he ever sexually harassed them.

Basically.. these 2 feminist retards were publicly shaming a young guy
who did something they thought on twitter.. and this older guy tweeted
them, saying that its wrong to publicly shame ppl.. and then these 2
feminists turn on HIM and eventually charge him with harassment...

Not sure yet if this has been posted here, sorry if it has..

I just feel that the word needs to get out..
