Common scense prevails at last

I know that the world these days is full of PC IDIOTS.
and for those of us who have who at least still have a sense of humour
the world can be a dangerous place,
it's nice to see that at least some of our peers are still in contact with reality.

As I've thought all along Magistrates live in their little world of suburbia.

We keep telling the teens & young adults in our own & extended family the risks of unintended bad consequences from stuff that gets posted in Twitter & Facebook.
Hardly a day goes by that I don't read a news story about someone who gets himself in hot water via Twitter. I'll bet that Greek Olympian athlete would be a happier woman today if she'd never discovered Twitter.

If I'm going to scratch my balls, I'll just scratch my balls; I don't have to tweet about it to half the world, so that by the time it gets re-re-re-tweeted I wind up on some Meghan's Law list.

His tweet to a finite audience "..had the potential to cause real concern..." And this was worth prosecuting?

Tax money hard at work.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Reminds me of the guy who got denied entry into the US because he tweeted:

"Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America."

So what's the real moral of the story- overreaction to tweets, or be careful what you tweet?

Agreed apart from the whole episode being a total waste of tax payers money
a faint glimmer of justice for all can now be seen on the horizon.

A precedent has been set.
