Madonna stalker given three years probation



A fan who resisted arrest when caught outside Madonna's apartment was sentenced to three years' probation yesterday.

Former firefighter Robert Linhart returned to court for sentencing following a conviction in November after having already been arrested twice in September 2010 for stalking his idol outside her home.

He was taken into custody at the time when police found his SUV car parked by the 'Hollywood' hitmaker's New York apartment building.

After being caught at the scene, where he had spray-painted love notes to Madonna on posters nearby, the then-59-year-old fanatic was arrested for a second time when he returned several days later.

Despite his previous obsessive behaviour, Robert insists he no longer has feelings for the star.



Referring to Madonna's younger boyfriend Brahim Zaibat, Robert quipped: ''She's enjoying her life with her 24-year-old boyfriend.

''I don't feel the same about her. The woman advocates free speech in Russia and then she has her security violate my right to free speech.''
(uh....I don't think that word means what you think it means, dipshit)

Robert's lawyer Lawrence LaBrew has confirmed to The New York Daily News newspaper that they are currently appealing the conviction, arguing that there is no crime against adoring the 54-year-old popstar.

Lawrence also fought against his client receiving time in prison as Robert's career involved him saving the lives of citizens - a job which he believes shouldn't be looked upon lightly.

He said: ''Mr Linhart served with the New York City Fire Department for 20 years. He put his life on the line for the citizens of New York.''

GAH I HATE THAT.

Like, I'm through with Firefox, and Safari is just IE's cooler cousin, and it drives me NUTS that I can't see GIFs right. Sometimes I just have to mouse over them. Other times I have to drag them into the URL bar. So obnoxious.

Is this the same guy who was shot in the leg by her security guard?
wonderwomanhero 4th-Jan-2013 05:47 am (UTC)
Apparently both of her stalkers are named Robert.

I feel like that the mentality "...thinking he's "admiring" her when he's being a total creep." is the same type that rapisist use or when a typical guy hits on a girl who isnt interested.

If someone says NO I DONT LIKE YOUR ATTENTION BACK OFF its not them playing for fun is them being creeped out and worried for their emotional and/or physical health. and there is something fucked if people/society dont understand that

Creepy. I'd be worried he'd turn into this guy, who faked being a firefighter to rape someone:

Nopenopenope, I could not handle stalkers. One of my bffs had one in highschool and had to go through a whole process to make sure that he could never come near her again.

So,so scary.
wonderwomanhero 4th-Jan-2013 06:01 am (UTC)
omg stalkers are the worst. carice van houten's stalker stuffed condoms and razor blades in her mailbox.

If they really wanted to stop him from stalking Madonna, they should've given him good taste.

If this isn't a freaking personal attack, I don't know what it is. Reporting, although I know mods probably wont do anything.

Comparing me to a murderer/stalker to crack a joke is ruthless.
filmfreakfranco 4th-Jan-2013 01:36 pm (UTC)
it's a post about someone obsessed with Madonna, and you are.

i didn't wish death upon you and your entire family, lighten up.
distantechoes4 4th-Jan-2013 02:55 pm (UTC)
I didn't even post about Madonna in months.
It seems like you're the one that's obsessed - with me.

This motherfucker. And the lawyer sounds like a fucking ass as well. "Adoring" Bitch yeah right.
harderthanalist 4th-Jan-2013 07:57 am (UTC)
I would stalk Madonna if I was crazy.
suzycat 4th-Jan-2013 11:16 am (UTC)
I kind of imagine that Madonna would not be as tough as we'd like to imagine if a stalker approached her. She's good at giving lip, and she's very fit and strong and could probably take him or outrun him, but she's also very little and I can imagine that IRL she would be very freaked out and not cope well. She has bodyguards for a reason.
harderthanalist 7th-Jan-2013 03:45 am (UTC)
Lmao. Hahaha.
Good she has bodyguard.
Who would want to fight a stalker off anyway.
dannyupshaw 4th-Jan-2013 08:36 am (UTC)

That gif is my reaction to the post's leading pic.
distantechoes4 4th-Jan-2013 12:00 pm (UTC)
Ew wtf? He should have atleast been hospitalized.
forgethissmile 4th-Jan-2013 01:11 pm (UTC)
This is terrible. The worst is that this is usually the point that stalkers feel like they have to kill the one they're obsessed over because they've "broken up" or something. Why do people not understand how absolutely frightening stalkers can be? Even moderate stalkers are life altering.

A madonna post only has one page of comments. I don't know weather to mourn or laugh.
