Ya, I'll have to see about a few things to check
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Can we get the court to allow cameras?

There's a few things here on a couple a trials that make it worth the price of admission.
Ok so Sosnay is Branch 8. That IS on the list of streamable court rooms. There is nothing on it right now, but it could just be that nothing was scheduled. I think it's in the interest of Da sub that brothermen check in on this website ( https://www.wicourts.gov/courts/livestream.htm ) every morning and select branch 8 to see if it is streaming and what kind of hearings are being streamed
The first amendment says everyone is media and no Wisconsin state law or Milwaukee city ordinance can trump the Constitution.
first amendment doesnt decide who's allowed to do what in court
Sure, the judge does but I'm saying if they allow media then they allow media and everyone is media.
I have a feeling that if that does get streamed Pat will get the court to shut that shit off
Not just a sci-fi author, either - he's a "pundit with bylines in The Hill, US News, and the NYT", and who was influential in Argentina passing their abortion bill.
He's definitely a public figure, and that makes it newsworthy.
That’s right, Dan is an independent / freelance reporter, I knew camera ops that used to ride around at night and get footage for local news outlets for accidents etc. like that movie Nightcrawler.
I have a feeling Pat really can't make decisions when he is the one in deep shit.
I love how rick actually believes this
Or you can contact the clerk and get confirmation rather than leaving it to chance. And then Tony Aria if you want to know how to bring your own camera in.
He also claims to be the most famous person from his hometown of Portage, Wisconsin that was recently featured on NBC nightly news, Inside Edition, and two foreign news broadcasts.
Exactly, he’s there for contempt of court so they won’t be letting him make demands.
I dunno, I think they could possibly get him leeway? AFAIK courts aren't usually happy to accomodate media & shiet
Oh for sure, my idea was to do that in the short term until Dumb Eyed Dan does what he does
Even just requesting it be streamed might do the trick.
And fuck Tony Aria; there's no way an employee for a news organisation can be the gatekeeper for media access to the courts. What if a rival channel is chasing up a lead; are they supposed to tip him off? Go through the clerk.
I'll email, is there a specific clerk or email address?
So Aria’s channel ends up covering it? Huge win

It’s alternate universe @captain_kamala if she never started smoking weed. I might have made that joke before, I drink a lot.
