Free Speech Under Assault in Scotland: Teenager Arrested For "Malicious Comment" On Twitter

This is pathetic.

I guess there is nothing else in Europe to worry about rather than bad jokes.

Please be aware that we will continue to monitor comments on social media & any offensive comments will be investigated #georgesquare

This is what prompted the assault on free speech.

A teenager WAS ARRESTED in Scotland for making a bad joke, a "malicious comment" about the people who were killed by the garbage truck. 

Is it in bad taste? Yes.

SO WHAT?

This is a really disgusting story-a disgusting assault on free speech.
