TROLLS: Internet trolls are backing a court libel case against the McCanns

They could help to strip the couple of £357,000 they hope to use to find her.
Ex-police chief Goncalo Amaral, 56, has been flooded with nearly £50,000 in public donations since he lost a libel hearing against Kate and Gerry McCann six months ago.
The GoFundMe webpage donors include trolls who have abused the McCanns online.

Three appeal court judges are expected to begin re-assessing the evidence on Wednesday.
If they find in Mr Amaral’s favour the damages award will be quashed.
A friend of the couple admitted they were “exasperated” by the appeal and the source of its funding.

The pal said: “Some of the people who have donated money to this have said the most appalling things on the internet even though they know nothing about the case and have no direct involvement in it.
It seems strange indeed these people may be indirectly able to influence civil court proceedings. Kate and Gerry are exasperated.”

The single, most bizarre aspect of this case, which concerns a tiny little child who was abducted from her bed, is the amount of amoral people it has attracted whose only concern is how to exploit her.

The methods and motivation for that exploitation are varied:

To protect the abductor.
To make money.
To build a fantasy 'career'
To gain some sort of warped status from being a troll on social media.
To sell a booklet, pamphlet, or DVD
To gain pleasure from trolling.
To get back at the 'middle class' because you have some twisted notion about class war.
To sell more papers.
To get some lunatics to fund you for the rest of your days.

There are no limits when it comes to how far people are willing to go to exploit this child. They don't care about her and I bet they ever really think of her, or her siblings. She's just some abstract concept that has no basis in reality.
