I hope they get good lawyers and tell the prosecutors to pound sand. What a sick joke.

- quickthrower2 6y agoYes and can they sue for this too? Not sure how it works but this does sound it is like creating unfair stress for people to have to now defend themselves because they retweeted something or expressed an opinion on twitter.
- perl4ever 6y agoI have the impression that being charged with a crime has permanent consequences even when it is rapidly dropped. There may be rules about how people and organizations aren't supposed to hold it against you, but if records are retrievable then it won't go away. Someone with more legal knowledge might chime in, but I feel like I've seen questionaires asking something like "have you ever been arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime..." It's like in court when the judge tells the jury to disregard something, can they ever really do that 100%?
- 9HZZRfNlpR 6y agoFreedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, in most of the jurisdictions harassment is a crime and its for the courts to decide.
- quickthrower2 6y agoThats the question. Is this harassment? Is the retweet harassment?
