Distasteful as his whinging, self pitying attempt to con money out of those who don't know him is, part of me is glad they didn't remove it.
Two reasons.
We complain about the crackdowns on freedom of expression in Turkey, yet by wanting the page removed we are acting in a similar fashion - albeit from a moral rather than authoritarian perspective.
The second reason is somewhat more vicarious
the longer its still there, and the longer it goes without so much a dried up dog turd being donated, then the longer this individual stays locked up. Inspector can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it if the fine isn't paid the person stays in prison.
