Can you really be imprisoned in the UK for posting something racially insensitive? Just because he wrote something about a soccer player people liked doesn't mean he should be arrested and sent to jail. What kind of wacky police state does the UK have that this is acceptable legal policy? Don't the police there have better things to do than be made to chase down Twitter trolls?
While I don't support jailing people for this type of speech where no direct threat or incitement to violence was made, the US, in spite of the 1st amendment, has jailed people for producing material judged obscene.
