Just heard that a friend of mine has been threatened by somebody from monaghan who's a friend of yer one's family...he didnt threaten exactly but he's been bombarding him with hate mail.

Serves him right if he was bullying the family.

Ya reckon?

So commenting on a public "appeal" that has angered a lot of people is bullying?

If whoever set it up had used thier head they wouldve expected people to react badly to being asked to donate money to help a drug smuggler.

What happened the whip around, as it seems to be mostly Family and friends who donated anyway?...maybe a little more thought wouldn't have gone amiss.

You should get three grams for that.

I assume her sister will be informing HMRC about this windfall of several thousand pounds and the appropriate amount of tax will be paid. The UK also has laws against people profiting from crimes.

It would be a blow for her financial backers if HMG found out and ordered the appropriate audits for Michelle and and anyone collecting for her...

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively to impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Justifications and rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. The target of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "victim ".

I don't reckon commenting on the appeal makes an acquaintance of the family of someone who is guilty of smuggling drugs a powerless victim :rolleyes:

Well done, they will need it. The fund has gone from just over £4k according to a post yesterday to £3400 raised today. They seem to be loosing donations and no sign of your £200.

Read the post directly beneath it.

I don't get why Facebook leaves that page open, but shut down one that was setup by someone here.

FB encouraging criminal behaviour?

I dont need to look up bullying...i know what it means.

And big-manning from behind a keyboard to the effect that you'll physically injure somebody qualifies in my book.

In fairness, I can see why. Makes an easier task for the authorities to identify this type.

chickcharnley

or what about the nordie matlock, with his supposedly superior legal wit and brain, where is he? what has he got to say? look like the peruvians are cranking up the pressure and rightly so

Ash.J.Williams

looks like Matlock just meddled with the case and made things worse!

He thought a bit of "human rights" whinging would get the two brats off scot-free along with their cock and bull story.

It seems he has only served to harden the resolve of the authorities who are now out to show that they will *not* be swayed by lies,newspapers and a nordie Lionel Hutz.

If the party-lovers had fessed up at the outset they could have been sentenced by now.

chickcharnley

i think they could both get the full 15 years; the nordie matlock has really put them up the creek; wonder what behind the scences stuff he is doing

Report in the London evening standard about 2 London girls, 23 and 24 years old, jailed today in Brazil for 7 years for smuggling drugs. Their defence, well their mitigation, was that someone coerced them and threatened their families. The judge said their story was not credible.

Sounds strangely familiar!

Yeah but the Irish one was really telling the truth, so she should get off.

And anyone who says different will get threats from dead people who are in no way linked thru fb with the family.

Smokescreen. They must have got more through before they made their little "show" for the police. Their as guilty as sin. I hope they get the maximum sentence possible, its a shame they cant get the death penalty for this.

No news lately on our two lovely ladies in Peru .

Presume they are having a ball .

timthumbni

Out of interest what happened to the Northern Irish Perry Mason fella. Is he still about? This story seems to have died a wee bit. Though any girl with a bun is now humorously asked if she has anything to declare?

I did this to my niece recently. She told me to feck off I admitt.

Seems possible it was just the one of them who knew about the drugs. We've seen this scenario before on the Banged up Abroad series, and in fact I think it was that one where the guy actually managed to get released ---two years later of course:eek:

That was in Peru though, not Brazil. I don't know how things work there.

SAM GRIFFIN – 29 OCTOBER 2013

THE online fundraising appeal set up for jailed Irish model Michaella McCollum Connolly has not received any donations in more than two weeks.

Just over €3,400 has been raised on the youcaring.com webpage for the 20-year-old's legal costs after she admitted a charge of drug trafficking in Peru alongside her Scottish co-accused Melissa Reid (20).

The original €23,500 target of the fundraising efforts, set up by Michaella's sister Stephanie in mid-August, has since been lowered to €10,000 after just €600 was received in public donations in the first ten days after the appeal was launched.

Another page on the youcaring.com website for co-accused Melissa Reid has raised £15 in last two weeks, bringing the current total to £557. It has a goal of raising £1,000.

The pair were arrested on August 6 as they tried to leave Peru with 11kg of cocaine in their cases.

They have both pleaded guilty to the charges after initially saying they were forced to act as drug mules following their kidnapping by a Colombian gang in Ibiza. Earlier this month, they were moved from their private cell in the Virgen de Fatima prison to a much larger prison cell which they must share with up to 40 other inmates.

The head of the anti-drugs unit prosecuting the pair, Juan Mendoza Abarca, has hinted that the women could be free by Christmas if they help track down the drugs gang and testify against them.
