This article is from November 17th, so a couple days old, but I found it worthwhile.

What a fucking moron.

Basically torn his own world apart for literally no reason at all.

For anyone who can't click on the link, in doing this utterly fucking stupid thing, he has:

  • Been given a 5-year stadium ban.

  • Had to pay a £154 victim surcharge.

  • Had to pay £85 in prosecution costs.

  • 12-week suspended prison sentence (suspended for up to 18 months).

  • Ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work.

What a fucking moron.

It even says in the article that he's had to move out of his parents' home because of the backlash his actions caused, and apparently his relationship with his partner has been affected too.

Can't believe someone would willingly do something like that anyway, such a stupid and unkind thing to do, and that's even before you get to how fucking stupid it is to do these days anyway, especially when we live in a world where everything is recorded.

Justice imo. You don’t mock a child who lost a battle to cancer. No excuses for that. Fucker got what he deserved.

Hope he enjoys the 200 hours unpaid graft too.

It's not justice though my dude, the punishment doesn't fit the crime tbh.

Shouldn't even been a crime for the authorities to prosecute. This was something that should of been settled between the team and him. Ban him from attendance. This is censorship whether we like the results or not.

Freedom of speech doesn’t exist in the UK and it never has. The right to freedom of expression is subject to a range of restrictions in UK law, including the: Malicious Communications Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003, which criminalises “indecent or grossly offensive” messages and threats.
