Gregory Alan Elliott is on trial in Toronto for "criminal harassment," for the "crime" of disagreeing with feminists on Twitter. Elliott's son Clayton tells me about what happened, the toll this has taken on his family -- and how you can help.
The police have testified that Gregory Alan Elliot didn't harass or threaten anyone. So what happened?
This is another instance of feminist SJWs (Social Justice Workers) using the internet and the legal system to silence anyone who disagrees with them, especially if those critics are male.
Clayton tells Lauren about the toll this trial has taken on his father and their family, financially and emotionally. A graphic designer, Elliott was fired from his job of 15 years and banned from using the internet.
If Elliott is found guilty, freedom of speech for everyone online will be in jeopardy.

I would like to add to your comments, names of great women leaders: Queen Elizabeth 1,and 2, Queen Victoria, Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, Aung San Suu Kyi,Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ellizabeth Fry, (not to mention great females in science and medicine: Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie, Lise Meitner, Irène Curie-Joliot,Barbara McClintock, Dorothy Hodgkin, Rosalind Franklin) …you might be interested to know also that the following were INVENTED by women: car heaters, Monopoly,fire escapes, life rafts, residential solar heating, the medical syringe , the electric refrigerator, the ice cream maker, the computer algorithm, much telecommunication technology, the dishwasher, wireless transmission technology, closed circuit television security, square bottomed paper bags, central heating, Kevlar, Computer Software, BEER, windshield wipers, liquid paper, the circular saw, invisible glass, scotch guard, retractable dog leash and Nystatin (the first non-toxic anti-fungal drug for humans)…ALL THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT women couldn’t own property in the 18th century, which included intellectual property like a patent. Such property was considered to be owned by the woman’s father or husband…so despite these silly laws and patriarchy, women were great inventors…no doubt before the 18th century…
And by contrast great male leaders: Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Max. Robespierre, Augusto Pinochet,
Kim Jong Il…well you get my drift…any list can say anything, LLRFU…and you do yourself no justice comparing historical discoveries by men when women were forbidden an education for 18 centuries or more. You can hardly claim superiority when your predecessors walked around with their feet on the necks of women and made great discoveries…hardly something of which to be proud. What will really be interesting is the next 200 years…as women are gradually being freed from centuries of oppression, time will tell where things will go…the tragedy is that great minds were wasted throughout history to satisfy a perverted one-sided culture…like the United Negro College Fund used to say “a mind is a terrible thing to waste”…
What is disgusting is how even Greg’s son’s are coming under attack from those aligned with Guthrie and Reilly.
Check out this tweet which accuses Greg’s sons of “intentionally inciting hatred toward’s Guthrie”

And this tweet was not from some obscure twitter user. It comes from a National Post writer who wrote about the trial http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/alheli-picazo-regardless-of-the-verdict-in-the-guthrie-case-weve-already-lost
I cannot understand how the charges against Elliott were not thrown out at the preliminary trial stage (makes me worry about how good his lawyer is ). Praying that Greg is acquitted.
With an acquittal I hope that Elliott will go after the Toronto Police (Det Jeff Bangild) and crown – Marnie Goldenberg for malicious prosecution. I hope he will sue the accusers and their accomplices for defamation – there are literally thousands of tweets to support defamation charges as the above tweet proves. We have the criminal offense of libel in Canada. I hope that Guthrie, Reilly , Rae Et Al will be charged with criminal libel. I hope that Heather Reilly (aka @ladysnarksalot aka “Heather Arr” on Facebook) will be charged with perjury. She LIED under oath about the reason why she changed her twitter avatar. She first claimed she changed her avatar from a picture of herself to a cartoon because she was fearful of Elliott. The defense provided evidence that the avatar was changed long before she ever communicated with Elliott. Perjury is a very serious offence – just yesterday an RCMP officer was sentenced to 2 years in prison for perjury – I hope Reilly gets sent away for at least 2 years!
The fact that I don’t keep track of the terminology is my own little form of resistance to the character-limited medium that is Twitter, or as I call it, the Land of Twits. I absolutely abhor Twitter and, accordingly, don’t subscribe, nor do I follow anyone’s mind-numbing “tweets”. I choose not to participate at all, which is what the complainants in this case ought to have done, but didn’t. Instead, they actively followed him and engaged in a premeditated conspiracy to embarrass and discredit Elliott both online and “IRL” (or ‘in real life’, to use Guthrie’s own verbage). They could have made their own profiles private at any time, and claim to have “blocked” him, yet were still exchanging multiple “tweets” directed to or referencing him during the very period they claim to have been afraid of Elliott.
Seriously, read the defense submissions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8A8TBLPhrPFT0hNLVpXZDNTT2M/view?pli=1
And while you’re at it, watch the entire interview. Quit complaining about the length of what you’re being asked to pay attention to and just do it. The fact that a source is particularly long isn’t a valid reason to oppose and decry it altogether, while remaining wilfully ignorant of its contents. To those who commented on this and mentioned a preference for greater editing, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t some people then question the veracity of an edited video? In fact, isn’t that what happened to the video in the Planned Parenthood story about “donated” fetal parts and tissues?

But if many of you are just hearing about this issue for the first time this could be in part why….

Sellers of antivirus software block MRA sites. And this site just might find itself on Norton’s shit list before too long.
The censorship of MRA issues is quite pervasive.
I must say…of many injustices I have tried to rally support for….this one I devoted no time to because I am not a “gammer”…but this one seems to have been the most heated battle ground yet.
Sigh.
What the rest of us have to learn to do is just what the feminists want — tune them out. Do not respond. Do not rebut. Also, do not accommodate. On these particular topics she’s a noisemaker, like Jimmy. Leave it. Other topics she’s much more reasonable; on these two, she’s not. Don’t try changing her mind, don’t try “discussion” — it’s her way, or no way. I would treat a spoiled child the same way. (And yes, that was a “dig”.)
And, of course, she will take that “dig” as an attack, and respond accordingly — that’s her Modus Operandi…
Jimmy and Terry and Joan. Unbelievable trio. Jimmy is just a disgusting POS, Terry is petty and Joan hates all men, but its fun sometimes to engage them and see the idiotic things they write and claim, however it also gets very tiresome and old very fast.
Oh well, skunks will be skunks.
I remember that Al Rose, that is when I got my first eye full of what she is capable of. It was in the “Why I’m not a Feminist” thread, of Lauren’s. Lauren’s first one I believe.
Having said that, I certainly agree that sections of the Criminal Code and various pieces of Human Rights legislation are direct threats to freedoms of speech, and are sometimes used as tools by the greedy and/or vindictive.
Or simply disagree with her. I am part of that “club” too. And you are right about twisting what you say.
I posted something personal once and she called me a scumbag lowlife, and said i like to kick women.
No Joan you never actually said those words ( but you did say i like to kick women) but what you inferred i was is a low life scumbag, and no Joan i will never forget that gross insult to my person.( anyone who would kick a woman is a low life scumbag hence your suggestion i am such)
Looks like you like to attack men especially if they agree with Lauren.
Every time Lauren post something you work overtime on here , i get the sense your days are gone and Lauren is the new generation of feminist.
And i, like the others will not respond to anything you say or read your dribble, haven’t read anything of yours since that time,

They really need to lay a Private Charge against her. Like divorce, it’s the only way to level the playingfield!!
If you go to Steph Guthries web page, she openly disparages “able-bodied Anglo Saxon White males”, chides them for being angry they don’t have power any more, then complains they have all the power/privilege and doesn’t even see her contradiction. I challenged her way back to cease using anything built or invented by men (which is just about everything around you, including human rights and rule of law).

What ever this guy did (or didn’t) the treatment he received by the system was obviously harsh and inappropriate. Going through the system IS the punishment – for the not guilty this is a civil abomination.
I can’t understand why my after-acknowledgements always seem to get missed, but they do.
