All aboard the pwntown express

and then this fella gives out about some misguided tweet.

. We're not going to agree on this clearly, but I honestly don't see what the big issue was with the question being asked by Hannon. If she didn't want anyone to ask her about then maybe she shouldn't have tweeted it in the first place. Or at least deleted it on reflection.

The tweet was deleted was six months previous to the interview.

I don't know how long it was up for, but it must have been long enough that plenty of people noticed it. She's a very successful and high profile Irish athlete, with I'm guessing many followers.
Repeating myself at this stage, but if she didn't want to get asked about then perhaps she shouldn't have tweeted about it in the first place.

She posted a tweet when she was angry after reading about a 12 year old girl hacked up and put in a suitcase, she deleted it and apologised almost immediately.
Hannon knew all this and still asked her about it 6 months later. What did he think she would add to a matter that was closed.

According to another tweet sent after the initial one she posted, she deleted it because she "Didnt need the hate post". She didn't apologise until sometime after the OTB interview.

Explaining her thought process in the situation, the boxer stated, “I was scrolling on my phone. I actually don’t even know how that tweet ended up on my Twitter because I don’t follow it – someone who I follow must follow that. And I didn’t even look at what it said, I just looked at the video.

“It was about 12-year-old girl who had been led to her death, raped, murdered and chopped up and put into a suitcase. And that just filled me with anger and sadness.

“To be very honest with you, I never thought of the hurt that I could cause to anybody by retweeting it. I never thought of what I said in the retweet either. I just said it. It was a spur of the moment thing. I said it and I put it up on Twitter,” she continued.

Almost as soon as she posted it, the LGBTQ+ athlete began receiving private messages from people she knew and respected, who warned her of the dangers of sharing such rhetoric.

“They weren’t being aggressive to me, they were just trying to educate me a little bit,” Harrington explained.

“I had basically painted a group of people with the same paintbrush that people like me, from my community, from my area have been and are still being painted with for many years. So I know what that’s like. And that’s exactly what I had done with my retweet. I didn’t realise that at the time.

“So I deleted the tweet. I took it down and I apologised personally in the messages to people who I had hurt. They understood and they said, ‘Look, we’re all learning.’ We’re all human, you know? There’s good and bad in everyone.

This interview was months after the OTB incident, and I think it was the first time she spoke about and mentioned sending apologies to people via PM. I take it that Hannon didn't have that information. She made a general apology earlier in an unqouted part of that article.

That's as I said, she took down the tweet and apologised immediately.
Hannon knew the tweet was deleted immediately, he may have not know she apologised but that doesn't give him the right to do a hatchet job on her 6 months later.
The fact she deleted it should have been closed.

If your main obsession today is to start a crusade against Shane Hannon, I'd say you'd want to put the phone away, go for a walk in nature and try to ground your energy.
