Such a pleasure to have some time to stream with you Saturday. Thank you so much not just for your support but also incredibly level-headed approach to all this nonsense!
I got to wonder if the real reason you don't want to counter sue is because she doesn't have the money to pay whatever the court awards you let alone a decent lawyer.
If you are NOT on the receiving end of what is essentially smart lawyer-ese for "Fuck you, you're wrong and here's the empirical evidence proving you're a total dumbass", it's phenomenal to see and read. And I'm honestly wondering what kind of bitch fit Alyssa's going to throw over this.
While I'd wish for the same it is very unlikely at best that this happens. Some people - including Alyssa Mercunte -are "too far gone" to see the error of their ways. Even if it is the court that directly *POINTS* at them. Meaning if she'd successfully be sued it is a faulty court order, the court opponent, their fans, the "enemy" media, youtube creators, ... are at fault and not her. For some people to "come back to reality" it would need a ... hard reset.
@@JesusKreistDoesn't matter. The point of doing so, even if it doesn't change someone like Alyssa (and it won't), is to be the age-old deterrent of the ol' dome on a stick. Letting grifters and sheisters run rampant becuase 'oh, well, their minions don't learn, so why bother' is loser mentality, and incentivizes conglomerates to keep brute forcing an issue that is off limits by default. Suing their golems, and inevitably them, puts them on notice that they (the conglomerate entities) are not immune from destruction and ruination if they keep vexaciously attacking innocent people. So yes, SmashJT should sue Alyssa into the mud, and then sue her outlet into the mud. This new age interpretation of meekness and 'turning the other cheek' are inherently wrong, and need to be abandoned.
@@aerosyne Never said that suing Alyssa Mercunte is a completely moot point and it would be better to not waste your energy/money on it. She won't learn. She will continue to spout nonsense, threats and other BS. Successfully suing her *WILL* however make her "Undesirable" for (passingly normal) employers and "normal people" will start to see her BS for what it actually is.
I mean the point is not to make her be better as a person, but to be better at judging litigious viability. She's an idiot and thinks that US defamation lawsuits work like they do in Japan. And it's a blessing it isn't.
Mercante should have her strip mall lawyer pursue this in court. Ron is 9-0 in free speech cases in front of SCOTUS (okay, just one case, but he 9-0'd the government)
That is an insult to Strip Mall Lawyers. Her "Lawyer" is more of a dive bar managers best friend or brother working out of the back room with empty crates for chairs.
He's not listed as an attorney on the website at the (NY) firm who's letterhead the original letter went out on. Maybe he's some kind of out of state of counsel or something, but that struck me as odd. Maybe the website updated regularly, I guess?
Huh, college. Personally I'd avoid those like the plague in these days and age. Learn a trade or to do your parents' job. That's how you live comfortably now.
@@fatalexception3845 I have a hs diploma and work in the trades. Make 100k/yr, housing costs are covered, have a pension and healthcare insurance covered. Live on the beach in Southern CA and dont have student debt. It really is the way.
How serious is the defamation if it can be alleviated by a scripted apology? This is what happens when two idiots get together and congratulate each other on how smart they are.
The point of the apology was to make him admit to defaming someone, then using his admission of a crime which he did not commit to have him removed from TH-cam.
That last paragraph in page 5 in the cease and desist is what broke the camel's back for SJT to retaliate. If they want to involve the law so badly then he obliged and i hope he pushes through to the very end.
well it wont probably go anywhere further than this. mercante maybe thinks so and maybe has a lollawyer but the big point with this is that it seems like mercante thought this was already a court action when it was not. such misunderstanding about cease and desist orders is common.
the streisand effect is hilariously in full effect again. just like me, i imagine many people are only finding out about this female's past sex work history due to her own threats of a lawsuit. oh... the irony. tsk, tsk, tsk.
Bullying, even when done through lawfare, is still bullying. Does US law have some provision for dealing with frivolous or vexatious claims? Edit: Did a bit of searching and yes, some US states do, including California.
Have to say, gotta love when someone for months on end is slinging out their own insults, but as soon as someone else highlights it, and basically calls them out based on it, suddenly it isn't true and defamatory for that other person to say and use their own words against them.
Hey legal, how does this not count as harassment? she has stalked and contacted family members on social media, tried to mess with his livelyhood thinking they where contacting his employers. Surely all that gives grounds to sue.
This unironically means anyone banned under the premise of "incitement" is now subject to scrutiny specially if they were involved in a scandal or drama beforehand.
I don't think it was a secret since amico days? but most people know him by smashjt anyway so easier to just use it. he gave it out on the doc though anyway, so doesn't matter either way like that.
5:45 i feel like 'getting on their knees' would not be enough in this case, since It isn't impossible for both sides to end up with their heads held on the same altitude, if the man would actually switch to kneeling position 🤔
If i ever need a lawyer i want this guy hes the first layer ive ever heard apart from johny deps lawyer that i didnt fall asleep after 10min of them speaking 😭🤣🤣🤣

Theres fonna be one road thats going to be taken. She gonna sue. I one hundred percent guarantee that shes foing to do that. Suit happens, things get exposed, she loses, she pays out, get gets axed from where shes working now as a liability, tries to sue again, and loses once more.
theres a very very long and well recorded reason why almost all defamation suits fail and fail hard. a person would have to have concrete proof of malice, and nearly every federal including the Supreme Court has made it clear, you better bring evidence that has no holes.
The only one being malicious is Alyssa. She even contacted his wife and tried to ruin his relationship. There are enough receipts for this. And for other cases. This idiot is beyond help.
5:45 - Smash mentioned with the whole Amiico debacle how he wanted to ride Tommy Tallarico's coattails for engagement.

SmashJT and Chad Zumock have some similar poking patterns. However, trolling or not, that's not the way things work in the US. Mercante, as someone who claims to be a journalist, should know better but we're so far past Kotaku being about game journalism. Everything is just a WWE sideshow and from that perspective, seems like this is just another typical day. Much like Sessler or Taylor Lorenz, these folks are all headed to the same place - make their bones somehow, cash out, flame out and disappear Bill Watterson style. Though Watterson did so with much more elegance and without dumping on his fans.
Alyssa is nothing more than a cat box that's never been cleaned. The great thing about being European: our laws protect freedom of speech, and freedom to voice your opinion.
Really? Ive seen them going into people homes and taking the phones out of peoples hands even for “hate speech”. If you publicly complain after a muslim invader r🦍s girls YOURE more likely to be arrested
Euros got less free speech protection than Americans, however what they do have is that people who sue others and lose have to pay attorney costs of the other party. That is only the case in the US under limited circumstances. That potential huge financial risk of paying the other side’s costs tends to limit frivolous lawsuits in euroland. This is why many US states now have SLAPP legislation - lots of these lawsuits are not serious but the target now has to spend a bunch of money and effort defending themselves. In effect the point of the lawsuit is only to silence the other side. But with Anti-SLAPP you have to pay the other sides costs if the anti-slapp motion is accepted by the court.
@@NYCZ31 I'm sorry are you an barrister in the EU? Because I don't think you know what you're talking about. EU has very strict laws protecting the free speech of their citizens. In Germany, France, Spain, Italy, etc you can express your opinions, no matter how toxic or unpopular, and nothing happens to you, unless you're inciting people to violence like the Muslim radicals. All Americans care about is money; suing each other or any institution that they "feel" has wronged them whether said party did or not.
I will say I do not like SmashJT and his "everything is woke" mindset. That being said, if I don't argue for his right to have that mindset, I do not believe in freedom of speech. Let someone's natural speech have natural consequences, do not try to censor them if they're not directly hurting anyone. I may not like JT, but I like Alyssa even less for being the exact moronic person fueling that mindset and that was even before she pulled this.
he'll milk it for content to make up for it. he's had quite a renaissance of the channel with all the mercante/dei stuff after the big amico L taking (to his credit he took the L with amico and fessed up to how dumb it was and how he got played by tommy, unlike a bunch of other amico faithfuls)

counter Sue her smash, otherwise they going full authoritarianism
Hopefully, she will pay for your lawyer once you’re done counter suing her.
If she continues now, then you're going to get paid 😂
A wise selection by you retaining Ron Coleman . Well played sir , well played indeed .
I got to wonder if the real reason you don't want to counter sue is because she doesn't have the money to pay whatever the court awards you let alone a decent lawyer.
why would a feminist use a male lawyer?

Smart lawyers have some of the most eloquent ways to say "I call bull" on the planet.
I think that’s day one. That’s how you lead into an argument, and the most gingerly way will have less pushback.

I know a good lawyer and basically dunks hard.
That, and the smartest lawyers have the most eloquent way of saying, "Fuck around, find out."
thats one way to say that for those twitter freaks😂
I truly wish SJT would proceed to sue her and Kotaku and put an end to her frivolous threats.
And Kotaku as well it isn't what it was it's activist media

It won't look good for Mercante if this went to court.

The real question is why would anyone pay to see Alyssa mercante do the deed?

Wow, this thing is really snowballing.
She’s too self entitled/toxic to ever accept rejection of any kind…….rather she believes she can bully you into submission
I love the blunt "you are a whre"
I know, right? No dancing around with sanitized euphemisms.
This is why people like Alyssa hate the first amendment.
Imagine Alyssa, like she previously suggested, have to give pleasure to some moneybag to hire thouse joke 'lawyers" lol

Mercante has always been and always will be a joke.
Hey legal, how does this not count as harassment? she has stalked and contacted family members on social media, tried to mess with his livelyhood thinking they where contacting his employers. Surely all that gives grounds to sue.
She looks like Jeff Goldblum as he starred in Jurassic Park.
It was a good look for Jeff but not as flattering for Alyssa.
I was thinking the same thing. Like, "she had s-x with men? For money?! How desperate were they and WHO paid to see it?!?!?!"
As a straight man, I'd have to go with Goldblum if I had to sleep with one of them.

"I'm just a complicated country lawyer."

Maybe she can challenge him to a fight and then weasel out like a worm when her bluff is called.
Wouldn't be the first time.

Mercunty: “Do as we say. Kneel. Apologize.”
Ron Coleman: “Lmfao, get fukt, camgirl.”
My qurstion is can Alyssa's lawyer pull a Logan and sue in federal court? Assuming she has the money.
Lawyer vs SJW is basically a Strategic genius smacking down a toddler.
Who was paying for that...?
It's not "dear colleague, I feel I owe you to inform you that someone is sending stupid letters in your name", but it has to be about as satisfying.
Streisand effect.
Translation: Silence ho!
