What the holy ish is this ish?
Thomas Brodnicki, the guy who stalked starlet Selena Gomez all summer long, was dismissed from court yesterday. Superior Court Judge Edmund Wilcox Clarke Jr. (to quote Herb Welch, “Oh, pick a name“) ruled that the court could not prove Brodnicki’s “intent” to frighten or intimidate Gomez.
Wow, judge! What a triumph for the legal system! If we can make sure that just one innocent man—an innocent man who once stalked a woman out of a Des Plaines convenience store all the way to her college in Iowa, where he continued to stalk her for years—gets to go free, justice has been served!
No one knows whether the temporary restraining order, which requires that Brodnicki maintain a distance of 100 yards from Gomez, will also be dropped.
No, I admit, I am not too sure we need to criminalize the mentally ill, but this just doesn’t seem right, either.
UPDATE: Oh, wow. OK. Earlier today, Brodnicki was taken back into custody, this time for psychiatric evaluation. The LAPD Threat Management Unit hopes to “5150” Brodnicki—that’s an “involuntary psychiatric hold.” I’d like to believe this was maybe the LAPD’s plan from the start, because this guy needs medical intervention.
Yup. This shit happens when you have jails full to the brim with weed possession defendants……the Brodnickis and Lohans of the world (didja see Michael Lohan released, EVEN AFTER he tried to escape custody???!!!) go free.
No, this guy is just common vermin and needs to be exterminated. We’ve gotten away from our tribal roots too quickly. When vermin threatened the tribe (in the case of a human), there were two options: exile or death.
These days, we have jail or prisons (we’re too squeamish for executions anymore), but our moronic justice system doesn’t allow for the fact that certain miscreants should never see the light of day. When this guy continues to stalk until he harms or kills his current victim, the dopes that run our penal system will go “how could we have imagined he’d do something like that?”
i love u selena
