Is Dennis Markuze already violating the terms of his suspended sentence?
As some of you might recall, Dennis Markuze, the Montreal troll who spent literally years and years sending increasingly unhinged and violent rants and death threats to atheists online (usually under the nym David Mabus), was finally arrested.

Insert “Better love story than Twilight” joke here
You know, sometimes I almost feel cruel. But yes, kids, this… …is a real book, by one Ernest Angley, an Ohio evangelist.
