I’m not saying these people were reasonable or thoughtful in their comments. Most of them are downright despicable for saying what they did. But being a hateful moron shouldn’t be illegal. You’re really cherry picking the cases. A lot of the arrests have been over nasty things said about Muslims as a group, not calls for violence. The people who said them are wrong, but they shouldn’t be made into criminals. This man for example, was arrested for tweeting that he asked a Muslim woman about an attack and didn’t like her response: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/23/london-man-confronted-muslim-woman-explain-brussels-attacks-arrested https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/mar/23/london-man-c... . It’s certainly rude what he did, but not illegal and it’s not even what he was arrested for. He was arrested for the tweet. Out of respect for the moderators of this site, misguided as they may be in wanting this conversation to end, I think we should end this conversation or take it elsewhere.
