Plus, for all they knew, he was a minor. If someone were really posting a comment like that genuinely, he would basically have to be. They did their jobs--they investigated, found out they were wrong, and released the guy an hour later.

But, doesn't rise to the yelling "fire" in a theater level, therefore is protected speech under the first amendment. Some people, especially foreigners, don't understand that distinction or it's importance, saying it's just a piece of paper written hundreds of years ago. They say it doesn't apply today, it should be changed, updated, modified to fit the times. No... it should not.

I'm also wondering what the original charge was.
Ok, things like inciting a riot, threatening violence, encouraging murder, these are rightfully crimes. But I cant make any of these crimes fit the text given. I guess the police did the right thing in finding out who it was and if they were likely to commit a shooting. But I still don't see why or on what charge he was arrested. Now for the compare-and-contrast example: a magistrate in Australia has allowed nine men (aged from their teens to 26) to walk free without so much as a conviction recorded against them, after gang-raping a ten-year-old girl - on the grounds that she "agreed" to sex. ![]() ![]() There is an outcry, and the sentences will probably be appealed. I bloody hope so.
