Sam Adams and others like him who rebelled against the reigning British Government, at the risk of treason, to preserve what they believed were our human rights. Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys the same rights we do, as the United Kingdom just exemplified, where police just arrested a man for posting an allegedly offensive tweet.
As shown in a viral video, Hampshire officers on Thursday confronted and arrested a UK man. One of the officers says, “Someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post. And that is why you’re being arrested.”
The post in question was reportedly an image mocking the LGBT/transgender pride flag by reshaping it into a swastika.
According to the BBC, the man was arrested for “malicious communications,” while another man who recorded the incident was arrested for supposedly “obstructing an arrest.”
The Hampshire government attempts to explain what “malicious communication” is. The graphic notes that malicious communication “relates to the sending of indecent, offensive or threatening letters, electronic communication or articles with the intent to cause the recipient distress or anxiety” and that it “is a criminal offense, which could result in prosecution and a criminal record.”
