It wasn’t “chants about the military.” Vylan openly incited violence, screaming “Death to the IDF!” There are people sitting in jail in the UK for a lot less. When is this guy getting arrested?
Besides, there was also the part where he said “Heard you want your country back? Shut the fuck up”. How about this? Is that acceptable?
The British authorities should either imprison this guy immediately or release everybody who is currently sitting in jail for wrongthink and wrongspeak. I’m for the latter scenario. Everybody says whatever crap they feel like. But if you are going to imprison people for tweeting something to their 15 followers, then it should follow that screaming “death! death!” to a crowd of thousands is punished in the same way.
For the particularly gifted, I repeat that I’m for freedom of speech and prefer the scenario where nobody is jailed for words.
