One-time Big Brother contestant barred from blogging about how he beat up his pregnant girlfriend

By adamg on Fri, 09/07/2012 - 2:42pm

Matthew McDonald of Charlestown, already serving a three-year federal drug sentence, pleaded guilty today to beating his pregnant girlfriend in April, 2010 - and then calling her after the fact, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

McDonald, who was on the reality show in 2008, was sentenced to five years' probation for the attack and witness intimidation, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

As part of his sentencing, he was "barred both from blogging about the victim or the events related to the complaints against him and from attempting to profit from this in any way," the DA's office reports. McDonald has been blogging from behind bars.

Beating up a pregnant woman + witness intimidation = 5 years' probation? No prison time?

It had NOTHING to do with the fact he's white.

BTW: ever hear of Affirmative Action? What's that? Legalized 'minority' privilege?

I commented on his latest post, with the link to this page. "Your comment is awaiting moderation." So I assume it will not be see by his faithful followers.

How would I do that? I have a twitter account, but I guess I don't know how to make full use of it.

By itself, it doesn't do you much good since nobody's following you (you might get a few people who see your tweets based on what you write and if people are searching on the words in your tweets).

So you need to get followers. One way is to just ask your friends (like Facebook). Another is to look for people who write about stuff you're interested in and follow them. A lot of times, they'll follow back.

And you're off and running. Celebrities, even Grade Z celebrities behind bars for running drugs, of course, have it a bit easier.

Haven't heard that "Stranger in a Strange Land" reference in a long time! We used to use it all the time in the early 70s. :-) That was quite an influential novel back in the hippie days.
