Guthrie Tweeted at the time that she wanted the inventor’s “hatred on the Internet to impact his real-life experience” and Tweeted to prospective employers to warn them off the young man

Looks to me like the plaintiff is the only harasser in this case.

And you wonder why Trump is popular? Nonsense like this is fuel.

Based on the specific tweets cited in the related article (linked above), while the criminal charges certainly seem blown way out of proportion, I feel like the main article linked here did a poor job of withholding bias and presenting the news objectively.

To all this, Guthrie pointed out once in cross-examination that feelings of fear, like all feelings, “develop over time”, and snapped that she was sorry she wasn’t “a perfect victim” who behaved like a conventional victim.

Statements like saying "Guthrie...snapped" are loaded with negative connotations and lead the readers to picture her in a negative light. And without presenting any of the specific tweets, it leaves most everything up to the reader's imagination, which is being fueled by the author's rather clear bias. It's always better to present the news objectively and with clear evidence, so readers can make up their own minds.

I don't understand why anyone would think this kind of behavior is acceptable. You don't try to ruin someone's livelihood because they fucking disagree with you.

Some folks just need to get their heads out of their asses.
