A WARNING ABOUT THE CRAIGS LIST INTERNET STALKER & HIS ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH AND CL POSTERS

Anyone that has attempted to post on the CRAIGS LIST politics or rants forums around the country, is familiar with the CL FLAGGER-STALKER, RICHARD HILARY GIBSON, a retired los angeles tech lawyer.




Gibson harasses, threatens, stalks, flags and then urges CL posters he’s harassing to commit suicide.



He also challenges posters that may not know he’s on the other side of the country, to meet for a fight.



It is common for this los angeles lawyer to threaten to murder posters, or to offer rewards for the murder of those he’s stalking.

Judge: Free Speech No Defense for Urging Suicide

Minn. judge finds ex-nurse used Internet to aid 2 suicides, rejects free speech claims





Freedom of speech is no defense for a former nurse

who engaged in "lethal advocacy" when he

encouraged an English man and Canadian woman to

kill themselves after searching for depressed people

over the Internet, a Minnesota judge said in

delivering a guilty verdict against the man.



The judge found William Melchert-Dinkel, 48, guilty

Tuesday of two counts of aiding the suicides of Mark

Drybrough, 32, of Coventry, England, who hanged

himself in 2005, and Nadia Kajouji, 18, of Brampton,

Ontario, who jumped into a frozen river in 2008.

Melchert-Dinkel declined a jury trial and left his fate

to Rice County District Judge Thomas Neuville.



Melchert-Dinkel's attorney, Terry Watkins, said the

defense was disappointed with the verdict and

planned to appeal. Watkins said appellate courts will

have to answer whether Melchert-Dinkel's actions

rose to the level of a crime or were protected speech

in the context in which they occurred, given the

defense view that the victims were already

predisposed to suicide and his online statements

didn't sway them.



In his ruling, Neuville stuck mostly to a dispassionate

recitation of the facts in the case. The judge again

rejected the defendant's argument that his actions

amounted to free speech, affirming a pretrial ruling

he issued in November. He also reaffirmed his

rejection of the defense claim that Melchert-Dinkel's

online statements didn't sway the victims.



"Melchert-Dinkel was not merely expressing ideas

about suicide The court finds that defendant's speech

imminently incited the victims to commit suicide, and

can be described as 'lethal advocacy,' which is

analogous to the category of unprotected speech

known as 'fighting words' and 'imminent incitement of

lawlessness,'" Neuville wrote.



After sentencing, which is scheduled for May 4,

Watkins said, his next stop will be the Minnesota

Court of Appeals, and the defense is prepared to

appeal to higher courts if necessary. He said the

defense didn't dispute the facts as the judge laid them

did it for the "thrill of the chase." He acknowledged

participating in online chats about suicide with up to

20 people and entering into fake suicide pacts with

about 10 people, five of whom he believed killed

themselves.



Drybrough's mother, Elaine Drybrough, said she was

glad the judge agreed Melchert-Dinkel was guilty. If

he had been cleared, she said, it would have sent a

signal to other people contemplating similar actions

that encouraging suicides is permissible.



"He's been told it's not all right," she said.



Kajouji's mother, Deborah Chevalier, said she's

concerned the penalty won't be in line with the crime

and that Melchert-Dinkel's appeal will delay a final

resolution.



"I've said all along that a crime is just as vile and

offensive whether it be committed in our own homes

or over the Internet," she said in an e-mail.



During oral arguments in February, Watkins called his

client's behavior "sick" and "abhorrent" but said it

wasn't a crime. He said Drybrough had been ill for

years and went online seeking drugs to overdose,

while Kajouji was going through a rough time in her

life, had a miscarriage after drinking heavily and was

depressed. Watkins said they were both intelligent

people who wouldn't be swayed by his client's online

"babbling."



Beaumaster said Melchert-Dinkel's intent was to see

them die, and the law is designed to protect

vulnerable people.



"That's the point. That's who he looked for," he said.

"He targeted individuals he knew he could have an

influence on. Were they predisposed? Absolutely!"



Minnesota authorities began investigating in March

2008 when an anti-suicide activist in Britain claimed

someone in the state was using the Internet to

manipulate people into killing themselves.



The Minnesota Board of Nursing revoked Melchert-

Dinkel's license in 2009.

out in his 42-page ruling, but disagreed on whether

they added up to proof of guilt beyond a reasonable

doubt.



"We will carry this as far as judicially allowed,"

Watkins said.



Minnesota's rarely used aiding suicide law carries a

maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a

$30,000 fine. Data from the Minnesota Sentencing

Guidelines Commission show that since 1994, only

six people have been sentenced on the charge. One

was sent to prison for four years; the rest received

local jail time, probation or both.



Rice County Attorney Paul Beaumaster said he would

seek a sentence consistent with the earlier cases.



"I think justice was served," Beaumaster said. "I think it

was a just verdict based on the facts of the case, and

convictions were earned on both counts."



Prosecutors said Melchert-Dinkel, who lives in the

southern Minnesota city of Faribault, was obsessed

with suicide and hanging and sought out potential

victims online. When he found them, prosecutors

said, he posed as a female nurse, feigned compassion

and offered step-by-step instructions on how they

could kill themselves. Melchert-Dinkel told police he

You are just a big piece of shit trading Secrets, you come in here and continue to pretend to be other people and talk shit. We all know it is Blossoms pic. that has already been established dumbfuck!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Go kill yourself already.

IT IS BLOSSOMS PIC, another posted, as in TRADING LIES and Night Slut. THE fact is that the info they posted isn't Blossoms and if Blossom truly posted that link she would state she had kids and all her true info. EVERYTHING, with the EXCEPTION of the pic, is 'NOT" Blossoms info. And some fuckup also posted RAVENSNEST as her name. WE ALL KNOW BLOSSOM IS A PROUD LADY AND IF SHE TRULY POSTED THAT FUCKING POST SHE WOULD HAVE PUT BLOSSOMRAYNE, NOT RAVENSNEST. BLOSSOM AND RAVEN ARE CYBOR FRIENDS. Blossom wouldn't do that to raven. And Raven knows this. I can see this is gonna be a long day of dealing with sorry fucking stupid son of a bitches!

One other thing I must point out, when the asshole posted that bullshit ad and put blossoms pic and ravensnest as her name, they fucked up, because you have to send proof of who you are to change the name on your account. A drivers license, or state ID card. I would like to see this happen. Stupid SOB's! Fucking ignorant as they come!

it's D-E-A-D, wanna know why? Because that ass-hole HUGE/tiny/krusty/vato/UTBT/LA-ABQ-LA and 50 more fake names)killed it and now he's on your board - (I recognize the writing style and the same old stupid pics). Watch out for "Dude". He starts out benign but then metastasizes into a vile worm that will strangle your board and bring it to a halt. He'll post under many different names and will cross-talk with himself. He's inflammatory, a troll and a professional spammer (if there even is such a thing). He's infactuated with fat women, mercilessly making fun of retarded people and he posts pictures of feces. He gets on an "illegals" kick. Be warned. He's a pseudo-intellect, is homophobic, a woman hater and some have accused him of being a pedophile. Once he takes over, he'll flag every post but his own. He killed Santa Fe's board too. Step on this cockroach before he ruins your board.

Poncho posts under so many names in CL forums that he has to use a data base to keep track of all his lies. He is fully capable of posting on both sides of an issue to cause confusion, and then will create a new name to agree with the point of view he wishes to put forward. He can act stupid, or post an absolute brilliant post, complete with correct spelling and punctuation.



Don't take my word for it though....just go to the various forums he posts in, and ask them. Seattle, Phoenix, all over California, Texas and others as well. Just go into a forum look for his name. If it isn't there, just ask them......most all have had problems with his bullshit.



Since I think YOU are Poncho posting as someone else to take heat off that name, I would like to ask you pointedly just HOW you know Poncho is all you claim he is? Just because he says so? Keep your eyes open and watch his crap. It's out there in many different forums.



Just how the hell do you know anyone has posted using his name? Because he claims it????? He has claimed to be "gone"...on trips, and then you can go see his posts in other forums. They are NOT anyone else, because only he can do the Poncho character like he does. They are all typical Poncho posts, even when he claims they are someone else. Now...why would anyone want to use Poncho's name to post a post exactly like HE would post one?



They wouldn't. You are Poncho, I believe, trying as hard as possible to lead everyone away from your antics. Every time he disappears for a while, it's because he has gotten caught on something downright stupid, or he has made serious threats and is called on them. HE is CONSTANTLY posting under other poster's names to discredit them, and has gotten caught on that many times as well. He has even admitted it at various times, then of course denies it all later. They guy is a total nutcase, and has ruined many political forums with his crap and need for attention. Wherever he is, it's all about Poncho, and not at all about politics.



If it weren't for what it could lead to, I would agree to flag off anything that doesn't pertain to politics, but then, you have censorship, and I have to ask WHO will decide whether or not it is actually related to politics or not.....fuzzy area at times.
