While I don’t feel like he should have been criminally charged, I don’t feel bad for him it’s a dickhead thing to do and I don’t even know how you could make a funny joke from that

I've never understood this. Why should harm be ignored in law? Would you really feel free in a country where you just had to allow someone to say what they wanted whenever they wanted?

I think serious threats towards people is the only form of speech that deserves investigation from the police. He was a cunt for doing that but it can be a slippery slope imprisoning someone on the basis of them being a cunt lol

The idea of him potentially doing jail time for this is a bit silly but I'm definitely not opposed to the unpaid work/community service part of the punishment.

I feel like community service and just compensation for the victim is good, jail time for speech just isnt a good idea unless it actively puts someone or a group of people in danger

It wasn’t even a joke, it was just “one of your fans, a kid, died, here’s his photo” like what the fuck.
