Unsurprisingly, The West has a different spin on this: https://archive.md/tG5qE In particular: * Describing BRS as a "decorated army veteran" in the title. * No mention of his failed defamation lawsuit. * The only unblurred photo of BRS is a 2010 photo in his army uniform. * That photo has been doctored to remove the crusader cross patch he was wearing.

@jamesh@aus.social I'm not sure about "about time". I'd rather they took their time and got all their ducks in a row before starting up the court case. The amount of time it has taken seems reasonable to me, and gives me some hope that the case is solid against him.
