I hope the old twunt,gets the book thrown at him.

What a waste of time and police resources. The fact that Taxpayer money was used to go slap a twitter troll on the wrist is about as offensive as anything the troll said.

They chucked the guy who made offensive comments about teacher stabbed in Leeds in prison, hopefully this guy gets the same.

If someone made a joke about Jamie Bulger in real life would they be arrested? No they wouldn't so the idea of police devoting time and resources to go after an arsehole who posted some mean comments on Twitter is an outrage. Are there no other crimes that need investigating or is Sussex some sort of crime free haven that the police have resorted to becoming Twitter Mods for something to do?

It's easy enough to block trolls on Twitter so the thought of getting the Police involved over some hurtful comments is ludicrous. It's a slippery slope that's inevitably going to lead to censorship.

The difference being he didn't joke about it with his workmates, he took it directly to the family I don't know how anyone can excuse that.

He already mentioned how easy it is to block people on twitter and other social media websites, it is a complete waste to put so much resources into something so irrelevant. I'm sure it wouldn't be given much notice if it wasn't a famous case.

The price of Freedom of Speech is that you'll sometimes hear things you don't want to hear, the price of a free internet is that some people use it for nasty purposes. Trolls like this person are an acceptable price for an internet free of censorship.

I'm inclined to agree with you on this: I've been an internet / forum user since the days of AOL 3.0 (around 1997) and I think the way the 'net has gone in the last 5 or 6 years is nothing short of a tragedy. What was once mainly a collection of small to medium sized forums owned by individuals or small numbers of individuals, and was a haven of anonymity and true freedom of speech and expression, was completely taken over by huge corporate entities like Facebook, YouTube et al., flooded by the masses, at this point has been completely consumerised, and over the last couple of years, censorship has raised its' ugly mug.

There have always been trolls and there has always been ugliness. And it's always been worth it to hold on to that little glimmer of freedom in a world that's already dominated by governments and authorities.

The sheer number of websites now blocked by UK ISPs is horrifying. The first time I encountered a "site blocked by ISP" landing page (piratebay, for the record ), my heart genuinely just... sank. Nothing to do with the block - they're so easy to circumvent it's actually painful - but just because the block exists, and what that means. What the internet once was is gone. What it's been replaced by is a monstrosity.

Thank you!! What he did is awful but getting the police involved just seems excessive and pointless. Site admins should deal with mess like this.

Agreed. This **** happens every day, it's what sadly happens with the internet existing. You can't stop it because there's so many cases where this will happen

[LaLaLand]

Disgusting human being.

What a dick..why do people do stuff like this?

I agree with Dezzy tbh

He'd probably just block the troll and get on with his life like Jamie Bulger's mother probably did.
