According to Consequence and The Daily Mail, there has been a series of bizarre messages expressing that Smithline no longer wanted Ellwanger to be her attorney. Overall, this marks the second case against Manson to be dismissed. The first case was in May 2022 with Manson’s former assistant Ashley Walters, which was also dismissed. With two cases down, Manson still faces a lawsuit from Game of Thrones actress Esmee Bianco. Manson has since filed a defamation lawsuit against his former girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, and her former girlfriend, Illma Gore. Both were sued by the singer for intentional infliction of emotional stress, defamation, violation of the Comprehensive Computer Data and Access Fraud Act, and Impersonation over the internet. via metalinsider

This fucking seeping arsehole.

He put himself in prison by refusing to stop turning up and harassing children in school from which he was suspended for being a transphobic bigot. They had a court order barring him from the premises as he was disrupting school by his bigotry. He was released from prison basically because school holidays happened. As far as I’m concerned that’s fair enough, imprisonment without charges and trial is not to be done lightly, but by the same token he must now go back to the Joy. And he can fucking rot there in the sex offenders wing* forever as far as I’m concerned. Because he’s back making trouble for children and the people trying to care for them.

.* he was taken out of the general prison for his own safety because he was being, as is his and his bigoted shit stirring family’s won’t, an arsehole.

“As these matters refer to a civil order, An Garda Síochána has no role at this time.”

Do y’all not have criminal trespass? Here, the school could ask the arsehole be given a criminal trespass warning. Next time he showed, the police could arrest him.

Also he’s been suspended since August? Doesn’t the school have enough to fire him now? I get firing him for transphobia might be hard, but insubordination should be easy. Not that you’d necessarily know why

His religion requires that he harass other people’s children?

Some parents may take strong objection.

They do. The parents are united in wanting him the fuck away from their children. The children all want him gone as far as I know. And all the staff. He was following the principal around shouting at her during their annual celebration dinner. He also didn’t have any student that the direction referred to in his classes, he could have just not been a dick in public and nobody would have known.

Not really, he’s still an employee and it’s a public job. His sister was fired from her job (as a lawyer) for being a homophobic bigot afaik and that dragged through the courts. Interestingly she and her mother almost got fired into prison for criminal contempt during their endless court cases. The bigotry itself isn’t cause for firing, being an arsehole is. In this case too he can be as transphobic as he likes but being a disruptive arsehole is the case to be proven. March I think it goes to court.

They are basically the Bundys or Phelps. They are a huge family of bigoted arseholes who have limitless time to make everyone else less happy for meeting them. Were i the principal i would be really, really angry at the person responsible for hiring them. Everyone knows what they are like. In court all their lives. I would imagine that there is a conservative “patrons nominee” on the board of management who doesn’t actually agree with the actual ethos of the school which is liberal Protestant.

Specifically, and at different times: (1) he wrote a software code that applied to a small percentage of Zulily customer check-outs, but which diverted all shipping fees associated with those purchases to an account at Stripe .com that Castro controlled— $110,240.71 was stolen this way; (2) after Zulily began investigating that first issue, by writing a replacement code that double-charged some customers for shipping, and routed a ‘full’ shipping fee to both Zulily and Castro’s account at Stripe— $151,645.50 was stolen this way; and (3) unrelated to the first two issues, by manipulating the prices of items of merchandise on Zulily .com and then purchasing those items for pennies-on-the-dollar—$40,842.31 was stolen this way. The total theft was $302,278.52.

Starting May 27, 2022, Tessa Sevenich and Castro began exchanging emails. These emails consisted of Sevenich sending Castro URLs to online shopping carts via the site share-a-cart .com which link to a cart of Zulily products she had apparently saved as a “wish list” of sorts. She sent numerous carts of dozens of products to Castro, to which Castro would reply and confirm to her that he had placed an order, presumably for the items she wanted.

Castro waived his right to counsel. He claimed that this was part of a process to test large orders in which he “forgot” to run a script to cancel them. Castro claimed the money from shipping fees was all lost on GameStop stock. Castro also claimed Sevenich was helping to test orders; he also said he met Sevenich on Tinder.

Isn’t she married to the dipshittiest member of the band? So this isn’t out of the blue. It’s standard right-wing grifter fare: if my spouse does the crime I want to do, nobody will be able to figure it out!

After an unusually long 170 days, the psychological evaluation of Tetsuya Yamagami (the assassin of Shinzo Abe) has finally concluded. The prosecution is confident that he will be found competent to stand trial and so is expected to file charges by the January 13 deadline to do so (yeah, habeas corpus works differently in Japan).

During his detention, Yamagami has received mountains of fan mail and love letters, as well as many donations to his commissary account including an anonymous letter with one million yen (around 7,500 USD) in cash. A change.org petition calling for leniency has received over 11,000 signatures.

This whole weird saga is still far from over.
