That's a different way of looking at it Jesus, the problem is though, with most of these internet Trolls, they do what they do anonymously so they don't have to face any consequences for their actions in the real world.

There has to be some limits on freedom-of-speech otherwise things like bullying and defamation would be tolerated.

Tbf bullying is making somebody's life a living hell which is worse than some sick jokes on Twitter,trust me I know as i've suffered some bullying myself,but you don't see them being arrested.

I believe this guy is an ignorant moron,but that doesn't mean he should be arrested.

It's alright thanks Kizzy as they was all in Primary School,one I punched in the face after he tried to beat me up again,the other two got expelled for trying to cut my finger off with sissors (which has given me fears of sissors ever since) and one psycho tried to strangle me but I spat in his face afterwards so all is good.

They done more to me obviously but that was there worse and last crimes to me.

It's alright Joey,people go through worse than that everyday so that's all I thought about when the bastards was being vile to me.

I think he was totally wrong to post the comments he did, I also think some warning in some form is appropriate to be given, however this seems another step to new criminal laws which will cause all sorts of problems and cost fortunes for the cases of.

I come down on the side of while it's offensive,it's not and should not be classed as a criminal act. People like this thrive on the publicity of it all, far better to highlight it and let him be made aware it's unacceptable, then keep a watch on it too by all means afterwards.
Some people have extreme views unfortunately.

Amazing, well done! you are an inspiration...with focus and determination your courage, self belief and ability to put things in perspective saw you through.

Thanks Kizzy,tbf it is hard as I struggled with all that for awhile.

Anybody that is suffering from bullying in school at the moment should get the situation sorted out by telling a Teacher and not fight them like I did.

Excellent statement and I hope you don't mind my using your quote kizzy to say to jf, that I echo 100% all that is said in the above post.

Because sadly that thread will not get as much due to it being in the Football sub-forum.

He has screwed his future up now. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to any others who are tempted to put any kind of threatening/inciting material on the internet.

[MTVN]

Kinda sucks that you can be locked up and have your whole future and education ruined for being an idiot and posting some stupid racist jokes on your Twitter account

[King Gizzard]

Yep, and there's probably been alot of unreported tweets that have gotten away with it, these things are hard to do because there really needs to be consistency or else it's pathetic

[Mrluvaluva]

The internet has not been policed properly in recent years due to constraints, but hopefully this will be a turnaround, and such matters will not be overlooked any more. This came to the polices attention due to the fact that members of the public reported it. At least things seem to be going in the right direction. If such things were said and witnessed in the street, he would have been prosecuted, so why not on the internet? Words are words, whether spoken or written.

[King Gizzard]

The internet is the only place where you can say what you want basically (within reason) I don't want that to be taken away because of a few idiots who misuse it

Twitter will become this heavily watered down craphole where you have to wait for tweets to be confirmed or some rubbish like that
