“ shit ! Robin Hood airport is closed . You ’ve got a week and a bit to get your dump together , otherwise I ’m blowing the airport sky high . ”
Not long after that — on January 13 — the police tap on his door carrying a transcript of the tweet . He tried to explain that he was only vent his frustration on Twitter , but they did n’t even know what Twitter was . The officers arrested , interrogated , and gaol him under the Terrorism Act , only to release him under bail until a February 11 listening .
In addition to that , the menacing tweet was blue-pencil , and his computers and iPhone was confiscated . I understand that some hoi polloi are a bit paranoid , but could n’t have they search first for connections of this guy with any act of terrorism group ? Or maybe stop his house for traces of explosive ? But then again , who care about a proper probe . Jailing someone because of a tweet just cook so much sense .
The good part : When he attempt to explain the whole affair , the only answer he would get from the officer was “ it is the Earth we live in . ”
Indeed , it ’s the populace we experience in , giving up on all our civic liberties for a sense of false security , and allowing morons to execute the creation . [ Daily Mail — Thanks AJ ! ]
