"A 22-year-old man has been charged on suspicion of making malicious comments on Facebook following the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby. Benjamin Flatters, from Lincoln, was arrested last night after complaints were made to Lincolnshire Police about comments made on Facebook, which were allegedly of a racist or anti-religious nature. He was charged with an offence of malicious communications....A second man was visited by officers and warned about his activity on social media....Flatters has been remanded in police custody and will appear before magistrates in Lincoln tomorrow."
"The charge comes after two men were earlier released on bail following their arrest for making alleged offensive comments on Twitter about the murder."
"Complaints were made to Avon and Somerset Police about remarks that appeared on the social networking website, which were allegedly of a racist or anti-religious nature. A 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, both from Bristol, were held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred....[police said] 'These comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to our community in Bristol. People should stop and think about what they say on social media before making statements as the consequences could be serious.' Police confirmed the two men were later released on bail pending further inquiries."
Of course, no-one ever arrests the thousands of people who post jihadi hate messages on websites, blogs, Facebook and Twitter on a regular basis. Nor have police pulled in in any acquaintances of the killers for interrogation. Why, they would blow up St Paul's Cathedral before resorting to such "hate crime".
