Know Your Rights

Whew. Good thing we don't live in Limeyland, where free speech really isn't free. Not that we're so stupid we'd post our not-so-idle threats on Facebook where morons might see it & get all excited.

So the idiot "admitted one count of making a threat to kill and eight of sending grossly offensive messages."

I suppose there are cases where making a threat ought to be a crime, although I think context is important too, but SRSLY, dood, "Grossly Offensive Messages?"

Yikes. I'm glad they have established some kind of objective standard for offensiveness in order to apply this law fairly across the population, but oddly, I can't find that standard, you know, PUBLISHED anywhere...
