    Unemployed man faces Jail time for Trolling

    An unemployed man who trawled the internet leaving obscene
    messages on tribute sites for dead people is facing jail after being
    brought to court under a rarely-used law.

    Colm Coss found Facebook memorials to victims of high-profile
    tragedies around the world - and defaced them with sexual slurs.

    His targets included a site dedicated to Jade Goody, the reality TV
    star who died of cancer.

    Colm Coss, pictured leaving Manchester Magistrates
    Court, found Facebook memorials to victims of high-
    profile tragedies around the world - and defaced them
    with sexual slurs

    He was prosecuted under the Communications Act 2003, which
    governs all 'communications networks' including internet, e-mail,
    mobile phone calls and text messages.

    Coss of Ardwick, Manchester, also posted sick comments about a
    car crash victim in Australia, and a dead baby in the U.S.

    Coss targeted the sites purely for his own amusement and to get a
    reaction, Manchester magistrates were told.

    He was only caught when he sent residents on his street photos of
    himself saying he was an internet 'troll' - a term used to describe
    someone who posts offensive comments to upset or provoke a
    reaction from others. The neighbours rang police.

    When Coss was arrested, he admitted the offence.

    Matthew Siddall, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant told police that
    he finds the comments amusing. He said it causes reaction.'

    Coss, who showed no emotion during the hearing, has previous
    convictions for harassment and dishonesty, the court heard.

    District Judge Khalid Qureshi told Coss: 'This crosses the custody
    threshold.'

    Coss was granted bail and will be sentenced later this month.

    Because if it wasn't for Obama, he would have a job and wouldn't be spending all his time harassing people on the internet.
