I actually have very little problem with that case. I think the tweet read plainly as a threat and an incredibly stupid thing to say. I would have been happier if it had been handled with an investigation and warning and not make it to prosecution, but as far as I'm concerned, the guy deserved some nontrivial inconvenience. I'm kind of ambivalent about the fact that the conviction was quashed. He wasn't even sent to prison. He was fined. I don't think that's a wholly unreasonable way for society to say "don't do that".
