“He said ‘go away groomer’, ‘go away you disgusting incel’. He called her a ‘sissy porn-watching scumbag’ … He deliberately whacked the phone out of Ms Brooks’s hand.”

A 57 year old talking about the porn habits of a teen and then knocking a recording device from her hand.

There's some other papers that are trying to paint this trial as some kind of "PC gone mad" thing, and even they have clearly struggled to find a photo of Lineham where he doesn't look at least a bit unhinged. I'm not trying to make this about his appearance, I just mean that there's some clear manifestations of poor mental health apparent, and he should probably try to direct his energies towards them a bit more instead.

Absolutely assessment is necessary, and anybody with MH issues should receive treatment. What's scary is a lot of weird, obsessive men don't have MH issues... they're just twisted personalities
