fantastic, so we're using the justice system as an instant messenger now?

No. We're using the mass media as an instant messenger. Of course, since this was framed to be an attempted trial-by-media, maybe we're saying the same thing?

Umm... The article says that there was an actual law suit. That's the justice system, not the media... Am I missing something...
[ reply to this | link to this | view in chronology ]
Trial by media
Because he knew the suit itself had no actual chance but that it would generate publicity in the media. If it had gathered a least some support in the media he would have pursued it further (at least as far as a judge) but as the response it generated was derision it was dropped.
Thus judged by and verdict delivered by the media

Re:
"Something else I'm getting tired of in this country is all this stupid talk I have to listen to about children. That's all you hear about anymore, children: "Help the children, save the children, protect the children." You know what I say? Fuck the children!
They're getting entirely too much attention. And I know what some of you are thinking: " Jesus, he's not going to attack children, is he?" Yes he is! He's going to attack children. And remember, this is Mr. Conductor talking;
I know what I'm talking about.
And I also know that all you boring single dads and working moms, who think you're such fucking heros, aren't gonna like this, but somebody's gotta tell
you for your own good: your children are overrated and overvalued, and you've turned them into little cult objects. You have a child fetish, and it's not healthy. And don't give me all that weak shit, "Well, I love my children." Fuck you! Everybody loves their children; it doesn't make you special. : : : John Wayne Gacy loved his children. Yes, he did. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is this constant, mindless yammering in the media, this neurotic fixation that suggests that somehow everything--everything--has to revolve around the lives of children. It's completely out of balance. "

Re: Trial by media
And it was obvious to every TechDirt visitor that the case wasn't going anywhere... the only difference is that now it's obvious this guy knew what he was doing and not just being stupid. Slick political move, I must confess...

Bad move

well no shit, its not like it wasnt expected from this [residency. welcome to Bush.
Do you honestly think idiocy like this will stop once he leaves office? Do you really think it only started when he made office nad NEVER happened before? Are you that delusional?
[ reply to this | link to this | view in chronology ]
ummmmm
well no shit, its not like it wasnt expected from this [residency. welcome to Bush.""
ummm... how do you blame Bush for this? Granted W isn't going to become the fifth face on Mt. Rushmore, but this was a Democratic local politician from New York looking to grandstand. Sounds like you should blame Hilary :-D

Re: ummmmm
hehehe... we need to take back our government from the Elite (Both sides seem to be Ivy League educated and have million dollar bank accounts), Have them come up with the laws, but have the people VOTE on them.
FYI: It is illegal to fish off of a camel's back after 7:00pm in Idaho.

Wow
And unless I missed something in Civics class in high school I thought lawsuits were meant to collect damages when you feel you have been wronged. Now all of a sudden lawsuits are being used to make people do what you want them to do.
It went from
"I think you are resposible for the damages I suffered so I'm gonna sue you"
to
"I'm gonna sue you if you don't..."
These days lawsuits are being used to force change and a part of the goal of terrorism is to force change...so does that mean people that use frivilous lawsuits to force change are terrorists?

Re: Wow
Nah. More like:
"I'll just sue you now to make sure you don't..."

Get your facts straight
It's people like you that are dividing this country with your random attacks on what you perceive as the "opposite" view. You are so ready to pounce on anything that you think a Republican does, even if it was really a Democrat that did it! Bet you feel pretty stupid now. Why don't you have some common sense and stop bashing one party or the other for everything you think is wrong with the world. Neither side is perfect but a middle ground can be found on just about any issue.
Stupid car bombing patchouli wearing left wing psychopathic tree huggers!

Down with Bible-Thumpers.
All these bible-thumping, science denying, big brother enthused, morons need to be taken to a dock and have two hot metal slugs placed in the backs of their brains.
My guess is the reason he knew that Google was capable of locating child pornography was from his own attempts. I know this is a generalized statement but all these high and mighty repubs need to get a labotamy.
DOWN WITH BIBLE THUMPERS! EVOLUTION IS REAL! GOD IS DEAD!
