Ste Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah he is, I just think there'll be an element of wanting attention and followers on the side of the people he's retweeting. As long as plenty report them I guess it's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Lets be honest, only a racist cunt would want that sort of attention. And in a way I'm glad social media makes it so easy for people like that to out themselves...I'd say they may be getting a knock on the door pretty soon.

Ste Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 You will get the attention seekers too, people wanting more followers or just to have their name out there so others can tweet them, even if it's mostly abusive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Fair play to Collymore for re-tweeting. These racist cunts need outing and dealt with. Shocking stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 With stuff like that I find it really difficult to not drop to their level and suggest that they should be executed, rather than punished or educated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I genuinely don't get why you'd do it, even if it's just trolling or whatever moronic excuse they come up with. Ignoring the immediate aspect of being in trouble with the police, aren't you basically publicly making yourself unemployable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'd imagine that it ties in neatly with their overall ignorant view of the world, but maybe that's too simplistic a conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 They're 15 and 16. I don't think they're worrying about employability. That's not what's important to them. Retweets and followers, however... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm so glad that I only really had MySpace to embarrass myself on, during my teenage years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Like most of these occasions, it's the shit craic that gets me most, and not the offence. I cannot comprehend how people can have such awful patter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiesned Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Bit stupid of Collymore to retweet it as he's now also committing an offence. Far better to just get a screenshot before it's deleted and contact the police. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's posting racist material. The fact that he didn't write it and finds it offensive himself doesn't matter. He can still be arrested and charged. Can't name names or in fact much details but celebrity who did same thing as Collymore last year was warned by police. Was very close to being charged.

Ste Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hmm, that's an interesting one. Hadn't figured that could happen. Guess it could be seen as promoting it as he isn't making any comment on them to condemn them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Just show how much of a cunt the law is in this country. Even worse than the racist kids, at least they are just too fucking brain dead to understand. Charging someone for telling the world of the racist abuse they've received.

kirkwdavis2001 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Surely he's just pointing out something that already exists though, posting a URL to it. I can't see how that's illegal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 He's spreading it though. Doesn't matter what he thinks of it. "Oh no people have been sending me pictures of naked children, look at them all of my many followers". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Rather dramatic example, yes, but I'm fairly sure that's the idea in the polizei's heeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
