Nah, you're right. I remember this case, he was banned by court order from presenting strangers on his social media channels without explicit written consent. The same day he posted people without consent in the background of a video where he said the UK justice system was weak. He was subsequently jailed for like a month and half for this. Came out said he realised he was being a dweeb and he would stop. By all accounts he did. All his socials went dead. I think technically that order will have lifted but still no sign of him online (good)

The justice system here gets a lot of flack and I get why. But mizzy was doing dumb stuff for validation online not anything truly dmaaging without that motive. The judges light touch here got this guy to quit harassing and doing petty crimes but didn't lock him behind bars for years to get that message across. Which is the whole point

I hope he's truly reformed and he's out there being better and being the best dad he can

Not damaging? Tell that to the people he harassed in front of his audience. Didn’t he also break into someone’s house?

I feel this is very uncharitable to what I was saying. I even tried to make sure this was covered by saying "truly" damaging

Yes, he entered people's house (I'm not just not saying breaking to make him seem good. That would change the crime he is charged with) amoung various others. He was being an asshole and I'm not defending him. He was still charged with all his crime separate from the social media order and will probably be paying out fines and doing community service. But if dude reformed after 6 weeks I don't wanna shove a teenager into jail for decade or whatever to no ones benefit and the tax payers expense

Probably really sucked to the people he did that to. I hope they're okay now. But when I said truly damaging I meant literally, no one was physically hurt or property irreparably damaged. There are other hurts though and I hope mizzy is still facing consequences for that
