Yes. I'm saying that his threatening tweet wasn't racist, he wasn't prosecuted for his threats. He was prosecuted for his racism, I disagree with the idea that a person can be sent to jail for making racist comments.

He wasn't sent to jail for making racist comments.

He went to jail because the judge decided it was an appropriate punishment for the crime he pleaded guilty to.

The judge seems more annoyed that the kid wasn't praying for Muamba like the rest of the world was.

The crime was making racist comments...

No, the crime is inciting racial hatred.

He should have pled not guilty then the CPS would have had to prove that someone else started to hate black people because of his comments. He didn't so the judge did what all the grief hunters wanted him to do.

Personally, I'd have ordered him to incite racial love for 56 days.
