>freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences
Gawker is now having to deal with the consequences of their actions, and liberal are crying.
I love when liberals get a taste of their own medicine.
Thank you based Thiel and Hulk.

So like Denton, right?

They'll be crying even more when libel has a jail sentence attached to it.
THANK YOU BASED PETE
WHATCHA GONNA DO GAWKER, WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!!!!
Kek, Thiel is the last respectable German
>boo hoo the fag sued us jews

herr derr Gawker is fighting back
>disobey a direct court order
>judges usually take personal offense to that
>t. Grandfather was a judge for 49 yrs
>they want vengeance
>use legal system to rape the shit out of you in damages
WAHHh! Free speech!!! WAHH! No fair! I shouldn't have to deal with consequences for my actions! Only people who disagree with me should!
...
I hate our fucking country right now, holy fuck.
> leftist rag attacks faggot
> faggot is rich, helps destroy leftist rag
> leftist media: faggot genocide when?
I hope all interest groups who think leftist elites and media represent them are watching this closely
Who would buy them?
Crimelord like $oros.
Daily reminder that #gamergate was smoke and mirrors to cover the shekelshoah. This wouldn't have killed Gawker by itself, but they offended a gentleman who bankrolled the Hulkster to get some real lawyers to take on their army of bullshit lawyers.
Alt-right stomping Dems and RINOs' guts out will act as a wakeup call, bringing conservative celebrities "out of the closet" and quieting the guns of people who ambush anyone who dissents.
Trump could buy them and turn the place into an alt-right outlet.
nice pay for view site, faggot.
Gawker is too obviously retarded for a turbokike like Soros
So how does Hulk Hogan get his money after the appeal process is settled? Is Gawker Media forced to declare bankruptcy and liquidate their assets after it's clear no one wants to buy their shitty company? Or does Hulk Hogan somehow become the majority shareholder and now own Gawker (the more hilarious option)?
What a fucking boss ass power move by Thiel. Seriously, this is Count of Monte Cristo tier revenge.
To wait for the right opportunity, to sit by for almost a decade while you watch them tear apart other lives, and then to be ready to take the kill shot when it's available. Just fucking masterful man.
Also, the people bitching about free speech are dumb as fuck. Rich and powerful, and non profit orgs have always funded lawsuits they felt were either a) winnable or b) for a good cause. Thiel didn't force Gawker to perpetually cross the line, Thiel just made sure they were held accountable for it.
Takes over their then worthless company and remaining punitive damages are paid in community service where Denton literally becomes the Hulkster's butler.
You are drastically understating just how fucking stupidly gawker behaved during this.
>crack child rape jokes under oath
wew
>haha free speech? u misogynerds need to face consequences!!!!
>CONSEQUENCES??? WHAT ABOUT MY FREE SPEECH????
I'm not even surprised.
>crack child rape jokes under oath
What? I aint even from there and I know that's a fucking bad idea.
This is how you end up with a judgment against your company thats $50 million more that the whole company is worth.
Based Hulkster
Truly one of the greatest poets of our time
Thiel is fighting the good fight. Fuck Gawker, fuck Nick Denton and his sjw-liar journalists.
Stupid question, but can they come up with this money or are they bankrupt now?
It'd be close. Company valued around 250-300 mil, but that has prolly plummeted with recent news. And denton sold around a 30% minority stake just to fund this defense.
He'll have to sell and give the money to Hogan. How much of the 140 denton can get is anyone's guess. Prolly ends with a bankruptcy.
Don't work yourself into a shoot, jabroni.
>what Thiel is doing is dangerous
This is my favorite new SJW bit. What he's doing is perfectly legal for very good reasons. What he's doing is only dangerous to dishonest, dangerous journalists. Those real journalists who have to clear sources with editor, who have to attempt to reach someone for comment before posting a hit piece, whose columns are ran by an editor and legal before posting...those real journalists are totally fine.
Not only is this totally fine for them, I think this may actually be great for them. The Gawker incident is something of a touchstone, why news organizations need to take their time to get stories right with clear sources and in touch editors.
I'm in lawyer and I constantly think how stupid could you be. Why wouldn't you prep a client for a deposition? "Be direct and don't be stupid" I would have stopped the interview
> freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences
> france is now having to deal with the consequences of their actions, and liberal are crying.
this applies to all occurrence, mate.
I'm not a lawyer, and I constantly jerk off to 2D cuties.
Is it just me or is 2016 the year we finally turn things around?
Don't forget they literally used the 6 gorillion as a defense.
Yes, and when you make mistakes you take measures to ensure you never make them again.
Here's Day 6 of the trial and the section starts around 4 min 18 sec. Starts off a bit about "news worthiness" and then goes from there.
The dumbass had 3 lawyers and was being taped when he made the statement. See video above.
Hulk for VP
Just imagining hulkster trying to upload 90's tier sprite gifs of himself to gawker while Denton, in a butlers suit, looks over his shoulder with a tear in his eye
>freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences
That wasn't the point of the case. It was breach of privacy though.
>vid
Jesus Christ. I don't even have the words.
I just...
How can someone be so...
Arrogant? Because they've been doing that shit for over 7+ years and no one's fought back. They thought that they could do no wrong and that no one would legitimately challenge them.
Arrogant doesn't even begin to describe these slimy fucks.
>The Fappening happens
>Tons of journos call it a threat to women, worse than Hitler, ask for doxxes and legal action against sites even after the Watson hoax
>Hulk gets blackmailed with a sex tape
>Gawker tries to pass it off as newsworthy
>Journos actually peddle this bullshit
>No one ever tried to pull this shit in court with Paris Hilton's shitty tapes
Why is this allowed?
Seems to be going that way so far. Or it could just be an anomaly or whatever they call the false drop in stocks, the bear trap?
>White male
>Said racist stuff in private
>Was an old cultural icon in Entertainment Wrestling
That's why they tried it. Luckily, the courts have said it's not allowed. The ones that are saying it's a First Amendment issue are trying to cover up the fact that Gawker fucked up royally and essentially told the Judicial System to bugger off when they were told to remove the video.
So is this slimy cunt going to get done for perjury too?
Please say yes
Don't think so, but I remember somewhere that AJ Daulerio (the guy who made the 4 year old porn quip) mentioned he was still paying off his student loans ($27,000 or so). In the punitive charges awarded to Hogan (total of $25 million), $15 mil is Gawker's responsibility, Denton is liable for $10 mil and Daulerio is responsible for $100K. Fucker's going to have that as a stain on him for the rest of his life, and hopefully he'll never get out of that debt as anyone who looks him up will have records to his asshattery in court.
Well he's certainly never getting a job in media ever again.
>no words
When I was listening to this live, I literally fell out of my chair. With that one fucking line he obliterated his own defense. If I were Denton, I'd have to be restrained from killing this man.
Probably would have been cheaper to kill him right there, than to continue on with that trial.
>never a job in media
He's not getting a job anywhere unless he personally knows the people hiring him. And even then, he's not getting a job with any responsibility. He single handedly lost Gawker more than their net worth.
Hulk Hogan - Secretary of State
Peter Thiel - Secretary of the Treasury
yahoo
Pretty sure Yahoo's days are numbered too.
>gawker.com
What the fuck is Denton's problem..... This entire thing was all over the place with no clear direction.
It was a plea, antagonizing him, challenging him to a debate and defending their history of questionable actions.
I hope Thiel fucking crushes them
It's so wonderful that these morons that think everything is a sarcastic twitter quip have to deal with real consequences.
Yahoo Auctions is still pretty big in Japan though isn't it?
Double down
Dig deep
Circle those wagons
Take literally every precaution except de-escalating the situation
Maybe it'll all spark enough ad revenue for him to stall until that third-party journalist defense fund idea is organized, funded and hahahahahahaha
I can't finish that sentence
>Modern internet journalists
>keeping their hands off pity bucks long enough to do something for anyone else
So when is Gawker actually going to die? Is there a deadline for paying the money? When do they start selling assets?
please let this happen
If you haven't already you should read the Thiel articles from Gawker. They are extremely butthurt, don't worry about giving them clicks because they'll be defunct soon.
Also in my opinion, he knew he was being taped
>implying the alt-right is capable of creative work
Considering 60% of us sperg out about Milomilomilo 80% of the time, I don't see that going anywhere
...
>Also in my opinion, he knew he was being taped
It was all part of Hulk's plan to bankrupt Gawker and expose SJW hypocrisy.
And he executed it perfectly.
Yeah, I've read the comments. the tears are delicious. They're basically calling Thiel a Nazi.
Gawker should have known better to get involved in a tag team match with the Hulkster and a billionaire.
Seeing a leftist journo defending free speech is hilarious.
Wow this just keeps getting better.
until something better or more innovative comes around and the japs ditch it outright
they don't give a fuck about shit like 'loyalty', the best service gets their moonbux
They didn't even know about Thiel. They made a lot of enemies, wouldn't be surprised if Hulk had more backers
>Thank you based Thiel
>praising a faggot

>Kek, Thiel is the last respectable German

Donald Trump will bring prosperity back to America. We will all be rich again, just like it use to be!

Is that not how it should be?
Gawker commenters want to murder Peter Thiel
user festivusazili:
>I may not agree with what these songs say, but I will gladly fight Peter Thiel to the death to protect my chosen place to mock them.
>What I’m saying is, let’s murder Peter Thiel.
What a homophobe.
I still can't get over the fact that Hulk Hogan wears a do-rag to formal events like a court hearing... it's just HYSTERICAL
He asked to do so and was given permission by the judge.
>I hope Thiel fucking crushes them
Then you hope he sticks his dick up your butt. Fucking faggot.
Lmao not even that, he had sunglasses over his durag and then a diamond cross, on top of his all black outfit.
>What a homophobe.
>supporting a homo
kill yourself
>It was all part of Hulk's plan to bankrupt Gawker and expose SJW hypocrisy.
I don't think it was part of his plan, though he his a big guy.
The settlement with the cuck seems to indicate this is just a happy ending for what was going to be a shit story for our brother.
>They're basically calling Thiel a Nazi.
They also claim the reason Hogan didn't want the tape exposed anymore is because he says nigger, they cited 3 sources for this who all had "anonymous informants" l m a o
You really seem hung up about this based killer of gawker's sexual preferences when they have nothing at all to do with the discussion at hand. You have some insecurities you want to talk about, user?
Calm down nick
Fuck off retard
The amount of Thiel cocksucking in this thread is the most fucking pathetic thing I've ever seen. Kill yourselves the lot of you, fucking closeted homosexuals.
Do you literally not understand irony?
when did I imply it was not? I admire that about them. The loyalty shit people have for non-local businesses here is absurd and pisses me off.
It's entirely what this is about, you stupid fucking dipshit. You might want to fucking learn to read before you make yourself look like the stupid cunt you are.
Christ you are thick.
you're mad as fuck that your favourite website got demolished. feels good man
There should be a global rule against stupidity of this caliber on board with ID's
Oh. Sorry.
Well yes you're quite right. Loyalty to a corporation is fucking retarded. Its all about cost, quality and nothing else.
Wow, that's a pretty awesome response. Kill yourself before your faggotry kills you.
Thinking about cock again, sweetheart? Fucking faggot.
Then they'd have to execute your fucking sorry ass.
>Billionaire businessman who was personally humiliated by this tabloid garbage website vows revenge.
>Supports a equally humiliated figure in his crusade against said garbage tabloid rag. Fighting in his corner from the shadows and only after victory is achieved reveals himself.
>Oh, and he's gay.
user, I'm not exactly a fan of homosexuals but you really seem to either be projecting, nick denton or a confused hillbot shill who forgot which thread he's in trying to derail the topic.
Do you not understand the tactic of using liberal logic against liberals? Are you an autisimal 13 year old?
