Web-rage man gets two years

Posted by Andrew Donoghue

According to the BBC , the assailant in the UK’s (possibly even the world?) first web-rage incident has been sentenced to two year’s imprisonment. Paul Gibbons, 47, assaulted John Jones, 43, at his Essex home, after an argument in an online chatroom. Judge Richard Hawkins warned that “the dangers of giving personal information out in a chatroom environment must never be underestimated".
