At least this one didn't end in jail time. In fact, the fine helps to pay for the police and court time involved...
A man has been fined £3,000 for this tweet:
Robin Hood Airport is closed. You've got a week... otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!
The statute he violated is 'sending a menacing electronic communication'
Even the officer 'investigating' the 'case' said this was ridiculous.
Show me pictures of people fleeing the RH Airport in a snowstorm, tears freezing to their faces as they huddle in fear of the imminent explosion. Then I'll get behind a fine for this guy...
Until then, the Brits have GOT to stop trying to arrest and try everyone that has access to a keyboard because they don't like what was posted on the Internet.
THIS is whyBRITSpaytaxes.
