TCPA Hearing 9/6/19 - Marchi ran from the Law, TI crumbles, conspiracy still on the table, and collective autism from all sides.

Anime truly is a force to be reckoned with.

To be fair, you can conduct limited discovery of it's relevant to the TCPA itself.

That could be an admonishment of Chupp to Ty about why Ty didn't subpoena some of the convention owners that dropped Vic.

What's the point of a stay on discovery if you're expected to apply for and conduct discovery as normal? That doesn't really strike me as making sense. Then again it's Judge Chump there.

How does TI not stick with what we've seen? Bizarre if you ask me

 

[AnIncredibleDerp]

Ok so let me get this right
While TY dropped the fuck out of the ball

The judge
- ignored the fact that this was a prima facie case only
- somehow ruled on shit that hadn't even gotten proper discovery
- threw out TI despite near slam dunk evidence that really shouldn't have even been needed at this stage

? so appeals.

I am having trouble finding much effect that Ty's mistakes made. It seems like the only issue is that BHBH were not expecting an evidentiary hearing and didn't prepare for it.

I didn't expect a slam dunk on all accounts, but I sure didn't expect this. I figured Marchi would walk...to the bakery to get herself a celebratory cake or two. I thought MoRonica would be moving forward in some fashion, as would Funimation.

I guess we should tell Ty how we feel about this: We're not mad, just disappointed.

That kinda happens when it's not an evidentiary hearing until 10 minutes after a TCPA hearing starts

It probably wouldn't have been such a big deal here if they didn't constantly talk mad shit.

If those cons are not a friendly party, ty would need something to compel them to submit a sworn affidavit.... Something that could be found in Discovery.

You think I'm gonna let you get away with editing this masterpiece? LOL

Googling pieces of that text reveals it's all original content, too.

I didn't expect Vic to win on every charge but I kinda assumed that all defendants would at least lose TCPA. I don't really think Chupp did his job right (as most of us tards do it seems)

So we've got a bunch of newfags shitting up WW, Funimation is still in a reparable state, no one actually killed themselves over this, and Shane Holmeberg is giving decent takes on this in his thread.

I wish nothing happened today.

The worst thing about this is the KV arrogance running rampant now. And within a month, we could see Vic on the road to a Stalin job. Here’s hoping the Funimation shit isn’t forgotten like most internet drama. But it will.

 

[AnOminous]

Not even "are there damages". More like "Did they commit the act".

Not even that.

"Could a reasonable jury conclude that each element of the claim(s) has some factual support in the record." Not lots. Not "would they win if they went to trial tomorrow." Not even "do I the judge personally think this case is winnable."

Just whether there are sufficient facts in the record that no jury in the entire world could possibly find for the plaintiff.

I fucking hope there's more than that. I don't know what kind of investigations/punishments can happen to a judge but I hope they happen.

Nobody gets to get revenge on a judge because they disagreed with their decision or every assblasted fuckup who lost a case by screwing up or otherwise would be demanding it.

I'm curious to see the transcripts about it. People that were present were saying that Ty and Chupp were talking over each other, and not on the same page. There seemed to be a disconnect in what they were discussing, so much so that when Ty was commenting about needing discovery for the affidavits, Chupp basically told him "Maybe you shouldn't have lied about it then"

It was something really odd and out of context, so I'm reserving blaming Ty for "bumbling" until I see what was said.

It's very limited discovery.

It could be limited to questions like Did MoRon contact you? What did they say? Stuff like that.

Only problem is you're looking at a hostile witness who might Dahlin you.

Words cannot express the mild to moderate disappointment I feel at this outcome.

Morale is dropping rapidly, salt reserves and rations are dangerously low, and the socjus war machine is getting ready to resume it’s advance. And Mignogna may need to be placed on suicide watch. The Weeb Wars has taken a turn for the worst.

Yep.

On the contrary, it's pretty great

 

[Markorian]

The way I see it, there are 3 scenarios as to what the fuck happened today
1: Chupp is just a moron, and simply doesn't understand the TCPA and the difference between "clear and specific" and "preponderance"
2: Chupp decided that he was going to throw the case out before today even rolled around, struck everything as soon as it came up, got to defamation and realized it was more solid than he anticipated, and is taking his time to strike it within the 30 days but make it harder to appeal
3: Chupp is striking parts while planning to let defamation go through so that neither side can appeal it until after it all finishes
