Peter Dow's political defence -v- "criminal tweets" charge

[tim]

October isn't old. Five years ago is old.

I just couldn't believe the hubris of the man.

Rubbish, you're bored and alone on Christmas Eve and want to get into an online ruck.

The time may come when thee country becomes a republic. At the moment, it is very unlikely, but Charles could just be the guy who breaks the monarchy. The Queen stating that she won't abdicate is good news, she may well be OK for another decade or so. IIRC her mother made it to 102.

The Russians had the right idea.

Yo

October isn't old. Five years ago is old.

I just couldn't believe the hubris of the man.

But it is a it odd, deliberately to pull an old thing. Did youha

Brenda's gonna kark it soon anyway (if she hasn't done so already) so Peter Dow should have his wish very soon.

 

[nogojones]

I hope he doesn't get the blame though

Having that as background noise during the trial wouldn't help

 

[Orang Utan]

much of this thread is rather mean-spirited, isn't it? esp since he doesn't appear to be around to defend himself.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

He's been sacrificed to the Owl God to buy Brenda time for the transition.

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow Peter Dow

Peter Dow has been found guilty. Not, clearly, for causing any real threat, but for being offensive

Sheriff Morag McLaughlin said, although he argued his point well, she believed his rants had been “offensive” and, given the time they were posted, she could understand why they may have caused alarm.

Sentence was deferred on Dow for background reports to be carried out.

I hope Sherrif Morag never gets to see some of the posts about HMQ here.

Peter, you have my sympathy and solidarity!

 

[Peter Dow]

Dow claimed he may have used “colourful” language while engaging in political debate but denied he intended to cause anyone fear or alarm.

He said: “The tweets were rhetoric, not threats. There was no way that tweet was threatening to the Queen.

“I do not want people to think I am a nutter who is going to attack the Queen. I’m not a terrorist, I am a political activist. It was not a threat.”​

“I do not want people to think I am a nutter "​

Social Enquiry Report (lacks insight) - with Peter Dow's insights annotated

I have recently attended at 74-76 Spring Garden, Aberdeen for a few meetings with one of Aberdeen City Council's social workers, a Mr Brian Hourigan, to co-operate with the production of his "Criminal Justice Social Work Report" which I am publishing today, with the addition of my own annotations in red "ink" which offer my clearer insights into the harmless non-threatening hyperbole of my republican rhetorical tweets in contrast to Brian's report which lacks insight doggedly claiming that my tweets were somehow "threatening", which they weren't, of course.

I am appearing in Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Tuesday 21st February (tomorrow) for sentencing.

[danny la rouge]

All the best Peter. I think your hyperbole shouldn't be illegal.

 

[Peter Dow]

Thanks very much everybody!

 

[Orang Utan]

All the best Peter. I think your hyperbole shouldn't be illegal.

This. What a waste of money.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Best of luck with this, Peter.

Fuck the queen! (don't say this)

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Best of luck mate. As if you have the power to destroy lives like they do. Yet they feel 'threatened' by tweets.
Complete joke.

 

[nogojones]

Best of luck Peter.

 

[5t3IIa]

Guilty

Classic Peter here in the comments section.

No, that photograph of me was taken on 26th January 2017 the day I was found "guilty" and when I was bravely looking down the barrel of up to 1 year in prison and a perhaps even my death in custody because I may have been murdered in custody as some prisoners have been to the terrible shame of this United Kingdom.

So that is the smirk of Braveheart looking death in the eye but not flinching, as per William Wallace, when as an innocent man he was martyred and executed by Longshanks for doing his duty as Guardian of Scotland.

Glad you have avoided the fate of William Wallace, Peter. And fuck the fuckers who are now going to be stealing from your benefits. Wankers.
