We don't know what he tweeted but unless it's some kind of threat to hurt someone then it's absolutely not justified for him to get jail time.

If you are really interested you can find his tweets with a quick Google search.

XBOX Live ID, Borode

That will teach him for posting with his real name on the internet...

The US has freedom of speech? Pretty sure someone posted a story here about a month ago where some UK holidaymakers were arrested and deported for tweeting about exhuming Marylin Monroe.

Pretty sure UK holiday makers are not Americans.

Seriously tho, do you have a source? Because I know as an American I could sue someone big time for that, if it happened to me.

Here.

lol oh so yeah they were just talking about Marylin... and destroying America itself before they made it here. Seems like they were just stupid.

I read the tweets to that old story and it was so obvious they were joking with each other I was hoping the news story itself was fake, or at least exagerating the ridiculous response of Homeland Security.



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

We do. Wales doesn't.


So this was in Wales? And they have no freedom of speech?

I'm lost for words.....

I thought it was White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) that we could insult?

Man, I'd better go apologise to some protestants...



Lets hope they don't start looking at Hunger Games tweets.
