Hater Faces Court Over Abuse Campaign
Mar 11^th, 2015 at 5:20pm

The authorities are on to you morons:

Jay-Leighsa Bauman faces court, accused of online abuse of lawyer Mariam Veiszadeh

An Ipswich woman alleged to have subjected a prominent Australian Muslim woman to a barrage of religious hate online has made her first appearance in court.

Jay-Leighsa Bauman, 22, appeared in Ipswich Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning, charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.

The charges stem from an alleged online hate campaign she directed at human rights activist Mariam Veiszadeh in early January.

The allegedly expletive laden, anti-Islam campaign by Ms Bauman was unleashed on Ms Veiszadeh's personal Facebook page, where police will allege she referred to the human rights activist as a whore, a prostitute and a rag-head and urged her to return to her "sand dune country".

Ms Bauman appeared briefly in court on Wednesday, where her case was adjourned until next Tuesday.

It is unknown if she intends to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge.

She made no comment to media as she left court.

The demurely dressed 22-year-old's meek court appearance came in stark contrast to her public Facebook profile, where she appears to remain defiant about her alleged attack on Ms Veiszadeh.

In a post responding to friends urging her to make her page private or to delete her account, Ms Bauman said she had no intention of doing so.

"I may just go ahead and make EVERYTHING public because I'm not fukn scared of a bit of judgement," she wrote.

"And I won't stay silent so YOU can stay comfortable Wink

"

Ms Veiszadeh alleges the Ipswich woman was one of a number of people who abused her online earlier this year, after the Australian Defence League targeted her in a post to its 5000 Facebook followers.

Late last year, Ms Veiszadeh, a lawyer, publicly rallied against a Cairns Woolworths store selling a singlet adorned with the Australian flag and the words, "love it or leave", which she perceived to be bigoted and which the ADL subsequently seized upon.

A torrent of online abuse followed, she said, and dramatically escalated after she spoke to Fairfax Media in February, when the charge was laid against Ms Bauman.

However, when she went public with the new threats via her Twitter account, including death threats, an enormous groundswell of support ensued.

Ms Veiszadeh urged her followers to retweet and report the threats using the hashtag created by a friend #IStandWithMariam.

The enormous number of retweets quickly saw the hashtag go viral, reaching the top 10 trending Twitter topics in Australia and saw several accounts shut down.

Ms Bauman is scheduled to return to the same court on March 17.

Abbott promised no tax hikes & no cuts to the ABC

There's a 'budget emergency', so we will give $9 billion to the Reserve Bank, spend $12 billion on some dubious jets, $2 billion to bomb Iraq, etc.

That's easy!

If you agree with such sentiments you are labelled either 'racist' or 'bigot', and you are targeted for abuse by the multicultural 'luvvies'.

If you disagree with such sentiments, particularly if you are a lawyer with a surname like Veiszadeh, you stand to make the news, further your practice and possibly claim some monetary compensation.

Money for jam.

Cool

Depends on context, Baron. If you uttered it with your normal level of intent towards Muslims, it could be considered bigoted. If I uttered it, towards you, it would be considered to be a true statement. Simples, really and I can understand why you have so much difficulty understanding the concept of, "context," as it invariably tells against you and your attitudes... Roll Eyes

So being patriotic with a love it or leave it bumper sticker would also be offensive to muslims is that what you are saying?

As the complaints came from more than just Muslims, Baron, I'd say such a comment was offensive to many people, myself included. I've affirmed my allegiance to the nation, have you? Since when does that mean I must necessarily "love it"? I accept it, warts and all and I'll fight to defend it, warts and all. Because I don't "love it" mean I have to "leave it"? Bugger off, Baron. Keep your jingoism for yourself... Roll Eyes

Australia already has a bogan PM. It is not working out well though is it?
