3. Lady Gaga performed a satanic ritual during the super bowl
4. The pentagon has a gay bomb (a fabulous one ofc)
5. Sandy Hook was a hoax.
Yeah this guy is a class A nutter and should be locked up in a padded room somewhere and be muzzled.

Contempt of Court in the US is different i believe.
However for people saying he deserved it for doing what he did, if you actually WATCH the stream he was running, he said NOTHING illegal. He was being a REPORTER. It does not matter that he got charged a year ago for doing something else wrong, they arrested him on the assumption that he was going to do something wrong. The charge does not mean he has to suddenly by law shut his mouth and never report on issues again.
In fact, it came out today at an appeal that the Judge that sentenced him to 13 months in jail did not even look at the video of the stream. he jailed him immediately without even reviewing the evidence. (The Judge himself said he did not watch more than a minute or so of the stream).
You've answered it yourself and not even realized your error.
He was arrested FOR reporting on a court case in which a reporting ban was in effect! There was still proceedings to occur in October for the same case. He'd already been done a year ago for the same crime and received a suspended sentence for. He did PLEAD guilty you know, innocent people don't generally do that.
He deserves the sentence given to him, do the crime, do the time etc etc.
Yeah, you see the problem with your assertion that he said NOTHING illegal is that he admitted to doing and saying SOMETHING illegal. He was not only charged with doing something wrong last year he was convicted of doing something wrong and received a suspended sentence for it. So when he goes and does the very same thing wrong whilst still having the suspended hanging over him for doing something wrong it very much matters. What they arrested him for is irrelevant.
Completely irrelevant. Robinson admitted the charge and pleaded guilty. Oh and to add, to date, there was no appeal. You're on a roll.

read and educate yourself on the english & welsh legal system, instead of continuing to type confused rubbish
This is comedy gold! The reasoning behind contempt of court is to ensure that a court can carry out its duty. Claiming that it is stifle speech does not make it true no matter how may times you say it and repeating the same moronic claim only serves to highlight that you are incapable of learning from your mistake, despite many people pointing how and why you are wrong.
Oh, and one last thing. You're not one of those people that believe that they are only bound by statue laws if they consent to being bound by them? Are you?

I've linked that three times already.
And the use in this case was to stifle freedom of speech. It's the decision to restrict speech by using contempt of court charges that I oppose. He was in public, in a public space, filming. Period.
No, I'm not one of those people.

I simply disagree with the blogger. Is that a difficult concept to grasp?
Reading and understanding are two completely different things.

It wasn't. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat this it will still be wrong.

The problem here is that the person who wrote that blog is an experienced and well regarded barrister, in short an expert. Whereas you are not.
So, his speech wasn't stifled? Bullshit.
I can disagree with a blogger, good for me. The courts decided to stifle speech and the press. Once again, that should not be in question. Now, if you want to justify the stifling of the press and speech, be my guest. But, don't try and push the bullshit narrative that speech wasn't being restricted.
