Goodbye and good riddance to Gawker
New York Post ^ | 6-10-2016 | Michelle Malkin

The bottom feeders at Gawker are going under. Arrivederci, a- -holes!

News of the slime Web site’s bankruptcy filing is schadenfreude-licious for those of us who, like wrestler Hulk Hogan and Silicon Valley financier Peter Thiel, were victimized by these Internet thugs but didn’t have the resources to fight back in court.

In 2008, Gawker crapweasels published Sarah Palin’s hacked private e-mails, raided her family’s private photos by stealing them from the e-mail account, used Bristol Palin’s illegally obtained private cellphone number from her mom’s private account, recorded her voicemail message and posted it on their site, and reprinted her husband Todd’s private e-mail address and their son Track’s private e-mail address. The hacker was eventually identified and prosecuted. Gawker went unpunished, and most liberals laughed off the criminal privacy invasion.

As much as I want to believe this is true....didnt they just claim bankruptcy to evade the court decision to pay the Hulk millions and will just keep on being assholes ? Just a question...

I think that the judge’s decision still goes on. They have no value anymore....that’s for certain. If they get deep enough into taking property....Hulk might get permission to take over their name. This new purchaser might find themselves with nothing much of value for their deal.

The site was aptly named, because just like a car wreck, everyone has to slow down and gawk. But after it’s gone, no one will ever miss it.

The head guy wants to sue that billionaire who financed the lawsuit. But anyway, glad to see that sewer finally filled up.

The State of Florida made them post a $50 Mil. bond, and if the bankruptcy goes through(and the suspected sale to Ziff) the judgement against gawker will not wholly go unpaid, they will list and prioritize debt and pay them by an assigned percentage.

I’m surprised Thiel didn’t just buy them outright.

I wish the Gawker punk was in prison. His crap has nothing whatsoever to do with the first amendment.

Liberals are starting to feel the slow sting of death of their logic it’s a good thing.
