This journalist was investigated by police for 'misgendering' someone...

Then they would take all that into account because that is what the police and legal professionals do.

Nope there you go again showing your own ignorance and trying to say things I have never said.

Lets state it one last time although you keep saying bye, but never go away. I was minding my own business and you are the one that sought me out. I'd much rather you hadnt.

1. If a police get a call about a possible crime they investigate. If they find there was some merit to that claim they can then see if a crime has been committed and prosecute.

2. If on the other hand they find it was a hoax or a malicious hoax, then they can prosecute the caller.

3. If for some reason they cant trace the caller then they can only keep that information on file and collect the evidence till they eventually identify who it is and then they can investigate fiurther for things like harassment and stalking. As far as im aware there is no crime of swatting in UK law because that is an americanism. Feel free to point it out and link which statute it is in.

Its up to the police to investigate. You are just being quite weird.

Woman goes to castrate son = HOW DARE YOU SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THIS MOTHER THIS MUST BE A HATECRIME

Person refuses to think that castrating your son is good = "Being quite weird"

Sometimes I wonder.

Except i havent said that.
All ive said is its up to the police to investigate and identify whether any crime has been committed and by whom. Feel free to find where ive said anything different from that.

Do you live in a world where police ignore reports of crimes?

Sure except what the police have had reported to them WASN'T a crime. Defamation is not a crime.

If I went to the police and (let's say) I reported a shop because they'd stopped selling the ice cream I liked you'd think it very strange if the police decided to start an investigation because I haven't reported a crime, just something that annoyed me. Same thing here.

Yes, I have tried many times to report crimes to the police and then they fob you off with "that's not a crime".

West Midlands Police are useless.

Do you have any proof that the reported offence was defamation? If it wasnt then your point is irrelevant.

A complaint was made and as normal the police are under a duty to investigate and make a decision based on whether they think there has been a crime committed or not.

So you believe any report of a gunman should be investigate with guns blazing?

What is libelous about reporting the truth about Susie Green? She took her son to another country to get castrated, because it's illegal in the UK. That is a fact. It might only be libel in Green's eyes because she knows it makes her look like a piece of ****. But it doesn't make it untrue.

Imagine a country where pedophelia was legal, would you say it's ok for pedos to go there? Because that's the defence TVAs give - "it was legal in Thailand" (at the time, they made it illegal now).

Mermaids is an awful organization that is absolutely dangerous to children. It promotes an ideology that leads to child abuse.

Because you keep replying. And for someone minding their own business, you write a lot. Almost as if you have to convince yourself. Oh dear.

As I said, you seem schizo. You are happy for the police to take a call about a supposed gunman at face value and storm in guns blazing. Good on you tigger. Yet somehow you can't admit to it.

If a complaint is made to the police then they have a duty to investigate.

Notably, of course, they don't really bother in many cases. Report that someone's broken into your garage and stolen some stuff and they'll probably just give you an incident number and tell you to claim it on insurance.

I don't know the particulars of this case, but the police have the need to manage their time effectively. A lot of people don't share the police's priorities in these areas and feel, with some justification I think, that they're guided by small-p politics rather than a genuine interest in public safety and security.

'you seem schizo' ableism AND transphobia. tasty!

The libellous* statements would be where Farrow used terms like "mutilated" and "child abuse" to describe Green's actions. It is true what you say but it was not an illegal act at the time. Ultimately it was up to Green's child to make up their mind on whether to have this procedure done or not, nobody else made that call.

(* IANAL, of course. I don't know if these tweets actually qualify as libel or not.)



There is obviously a rather huge difference between deciding to have surgery done on your own body compared to rodgering a minor. From a moral standpoint there is no comparison.



I disagree with you on this but your previous posts in threads like this make it abundantly clear that you're unable to debate this from a neutral, factual standpoint. So I'm not going to waste my time by coming up with a rebuttal to this, if you have doubt about Mermaids work do some research beyond what the tabloids like to shout at you. They're not perfect by any stretch but for many trans kids this one charity is literally the only lifeline they've got.

The force explained why officers investigated: "We have a duty of care to fully investigate all allegations which are reported to us. Once this investigation has been completed, a decision is made on the most appropriate course of action to take."

If someone reports a gunman behaving unlawfully, then they should investigate.

With guns? Or would you send the police into a gunfight with words?
