Yeah his comments were certainly extremely offensive, but they were not threatening or intimidating so I don't see why they should be illegal...

He threatened to smash someone's face flat.

"I'll stamp on your face until it's fucking flat!!!"

That wasn't the tweet he was arrested for though?

He was arrested for the collection of tweets not just one single one.

Yes but his crime was 'inciting racial hatred', that wasn't a racist tweet.
