UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game

magic maverick writes "Reuters reports that three men were arrested for posting anti-Semitic comments on Twitter following the English Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United in October, police said on Friday. 'Two men, aged 22 and 24, were arrested on Thursday in London and in Wiltshire, while a 48-year-old man was arrested at his home in Canning Town in London last week on suspicion of inciting racial hatred. The investigation following the match on October 6 was triggered by complaints about tweets that referred to Hitler and the gas chambers.' I guess it goes to show, you'd be stupid to use your real name or identifying details on Twitter. Perhaps the British should also work on reforming their laws on free speech (or lack thereof)."

    Why do you classify tweeting as "racist behavior" and what is "racist behavior"?

    Way to lump everyone together...if you know anything of history you'll realize it's the Democrats who are the party of hate and bigotry.

    Which is a blatant violation of the first amendment.

    Easy. Just cultivate a group of people who are easily butthurt, or one that forms a 'survivor-guilt' bond over the 'plight' of another, demand criminal punishments for 'objectionable' behavior. This is the primary functional dynamic of left wing identity politics.

    The holohoax is a hoax tho.

    Jews masterminded the plan to invade present day "israel" you see, and that was their pretext, their base of all propaganda of "jew suffering" (except for all those forgotten people who suffered in hands of jews, but history forgets them).

    You truly, really need to get out of where you are hiding, and learn of the ays of the world.

    The world is not a nice place, and jews are NOT nice people.
