&feature=player_embeddedA hearing officer with the Michigan Civil Service Commission has upheld the firing of former Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell as a result of his campaign against former University of Michigan student body President Chris Armstrong.
In issuing the decision, hearing officer William Hutchens wrote that Shirvell was found to have engaged in harassing conduct of the basest sort.
Shirvell's lawyer, Philip J. Thomas, vowed to appeal and called the ruling "deeply flawed," saying that Shirvell was simply exercising his constitutional right to free speech outside of work.

If you're just joining us, or need a refresher, pretty much all you need to do to get up to speed is watch the Anderson Cooper interview above. You'll see that what scary, deranged individual Andrew Shirvell is, and the extreme lengths he went to to stalk and harass of University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong.

Shirvell harassed this college kid for no good reason. Very creepy.

... What really concerns me is that a guy like that rose to such a position of responsibility to start with. It doesn't look like he goes out of his way to conceal his phobia.

But this is the first I have heard of the guy. Wonder if he has gotten any new employment. All the Best Wishes to Chris Armstrong.
