On the one hand, clearly this guy sucks.

On the other hand, this is yet another scary ass reason I wouldn't want to live in the UK.

It's quite literally the government tracking you down and locking you up in jail for something you said on the internet.

For why this happened, and also an opinion on why it shouldn't....

Considering the writer of that article, his opinion doesn't deserve much attention.

So you judge opinions by seeing who makes them rather then the merit of said arguements.

I mean, you honestly think it's GOOD that people are thrown into jail based on subjective criteria.

Let alone people born with a mental illness like the guy in this story.  (Who has Aspergers.)
