It was pretend kidnapping and torture?

The BBC account of Baker’s girlish prank:

A transgender activist who told a crowd to “punch a terf” has been cleared of intentionally encouraging the commission of an offence.

Because telling a crowd to punch feminist women in the face is not encouraging the commission of an offence. It’s…something else. Crocheting, or rock climbing, or tennis. Something.

The court heard that during the arrest, which Baker live-streamed on to social media, she said “don’t punch terfs, I’m really sorry I said that”. The court was told she accepted she had said the words but denied any intent to incite violence.

See that’s the special kind of trans activist urging people to stab or choke or punch feminist women – the kind that has absolutely no intent to incite violence. This applies especially to Baker, who was in prison for…er…extreme violence.

Baker is the subject of a life sentence for the attempted murder of a fellow inmate she attacked when in prison serving a sentence for kidnapping and torturing her stepmother’s 19-year-old brother.

See? With that kind of history it’s obvious that he didn’t mean to incite violence. Right?

Baker told the court: “The only people suffering more than us is migrants – thank God I’m not a transgender migrant.”

She added: “We’re living in dark times and this anti-trans rhetoric is being actively encouraged by our government.”

But anti-female rhetoric about punching women is an entirely different kind of thing and clearly not intended to incite violence.

When Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram found Baker not guilty, the public gallery applauded.

Yay! He sounds like such a great guy, doesn’t he?
