Thing is, they didn't seem to have brought anything to inform her of. If they want to come out of it looking like anything but witless fascist goons trying to intimidate someone, they're going to need to be a lot more specific than "unwanted messages" to unspecified persons.
She seems to think it was someone she replied to on twitter. I reply to random people on here all the time, just like I'm doing now. If it's unwanted, by all means send the netiquette cops to my house I guess, we'll see if I'm able to suppress my derisive laughter long enough to get a video half as good as this one out of it.
Facist goons are the ones pulling the strings. You can hate all you want but itโs clear who the enemy is.
She was notified that there was a complaint against her, unfortunately we still believe in informing people in person for this. Imagine she got an email instead.
Except it wasn't just a notification that there's been a complaint. It was "no more unwanted messages, please."
Aside from that it could be somewhat reasonable if there really is sufficient evidence to suggest that a criminal complaint is warranted. That seems unlikely, but I suppose we should keep an open mind. In the absence of someone digging up some really damning stuff from social media it looks a whole lot more like a lawyerly โ and presumably therefore less illegal โ attempt at something like "swatting", albeit a less violent version. The police should know better than to let themselves be used like that, but a lifetime of experience leads me to suspect that maybe they do not.
