Fuck around and find out
So you’re not allowed to threaten to kill people?
A troll who threatened to kill JK Rowling “with a big hammer” has been warned he faces jail.
Glenn Mullen, 31, sent audio messages in Scottish Gaelic to the Harry Potter author on X/Twitter in January 2023. He said: “I’m going to kill JK Rowling with a big hammer. JK Rowling is very horrible and I hate her so much.”
In a message to Labour MP Rosie Duffield, also opposed to trans reforms, he said: “I’m going to kill Rosie Duffield with a big gun. I hate her so much.”
Mullen, of Manchester, admitted two charges of sending a communication conveying a threatening message.
But the Sun calls him “a troll” so surely that means it was just a joke.
[…] I pointed out yesterday that calling a man who threatened to kill Rosie Duffield and JK Rowling a “troll” is offensively trivializing. I see I’m not the only one who thinks so. […]
