kingfox Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 This knob has been arrested now anyway. It's not from fookin primark, it's from fookin TJ Hughes. I'd rather shop at primark, also if you type belts into the TJ Hughes website it comes up with a wheelchair.
Daggers Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Since when was it an offence to be an utter weapon? If this kid is being arrested for being offensive then half the fvcking internet is going to vanish overnight. The options are there to block and ignore people.
21st Century Fox Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Chris the Simpsons Artist documents the situation.... i have gone and done a picture of the insecure teen that is from on twitter that said horrible things to the best swimmer ever tom daley from the olympics and i hope that the idiot riley is having a nice time in jail because i think that he is going to be in there for the rest of his life because everyone hates him so much and when i was at the shop a man said that he was going to snap rileys nose off as well i have gone and done a picture of riley on my chin with a thick red line through it so everyone knows how much i hate him when they have a look at my chin. Chris (Simpsons artist) xox
ScouseFox Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Yeah, what he said was pretty shit but it's surely not against the law and an arrestable offence to be mean to someone? Unless I've missed some of what he said?
EcclesallOwl Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Pretty sure making numerous death threats is against the law?
I am Rod Hull Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Why does a skinny white kid from Weymouth talk like a member of the New York Crips?
ScouseFox Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Pretty sure making numerous death threats is against the law? Oh fair enough, like I said all I saw him say was he'd let his dad down and he should've done better for his country.
Mack Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Can someone please help me with this? I'm lost. Someone made some stupid comments on Twitter, then apologised yet he is now under arrest. Am I the only one that thinks this is way over the top? I mean I bet loads of 'celebs' have unsavoury Tweets every day of the week. If you dont like it dont put yourself out there on Twitter to be shot at, or just block the dicks and move on, it's only words for ****s sake.
Daggers Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 The fact that I totally agree with Mack makes me wonder if I'm right.
Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 I was going to say, he hasnt been arrested for speaking about his death he has been arrested for the numerous "death threats" he made.
Leicester_Numan Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Looks like some people missed what he said. He made his original tasteless comments then apologised after Olly Riley jumped to Daleys defence and informed him of Daleys fathers death. Later on he threatened to drown Daley and shoot Riley for getting the whole country hating him. Dorset police were informed. Riley also informed this tw*t that his tweets were being monitored by the police and he again made death threats. Not only is he an obnoxious little git, he's stupid enough to provide the police with even more evidence to use against him. Deserves what's coming to him
Guest Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Given an harassment warning, and released on bail whilst his other tweets are investigated, according to news sources in Twitter.
Bert Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Can someone please help me with this? I'm lost. Someone made some stupid comments on Twitter, then apologised yet he is now under arrest.

If you dont like it dont put yourself out there on Twitter to be shot at, or just block the dicks and move on, it's only words for ****s sake. Just because he said sorry it doesn't mean that he is, or deem what he's done as non-arrestable.
Jaspa Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Freedom of speech and all that eh ? Tom Daley is a world famous Olympian, with the world layed out perfectly infront of him Then you have some idiot on the internet, that will get nowhere near Daley personally or competitively. Why should we take these pathetic people so seriously ?
Mack Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 I agree. Ignoring these people is the best option by far. Dont give them the attention they crave.

Why should we take these pathetic people so seriously ? While I agree with your sentiment about immature little arseholes on the internet, I'm pretty sure free speech doesn't incorporate the freedom to send death threats. And you can never be sure as to how serious such threats are, so it's only right to treat them as you would any other. Besides, if you're the kind of cunt that does that sort of thing then you probably deserve everything that comes your way. No sympathy from my corner.

Death threats have to be taken seriously. Too many sick people out there. Leon Knight on the other hand is exactly the type of tw*t we should all ignore
Jaspa Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 Too right. Death threats have to be taken seriously. Too many sick people out there. Leon Knight on the other hand is exactly the type of tw*t we should all ignore No, it makes the whole situation worse It gives the 'Troll' exactly what they wanted from the whole thing, his face will be splashed over countless papers and internet sites. And it throws even more towards all this crap about monitoring the internet and evaporating the common rights of us all He is no threat to Tom Daley, and no threat to anyone who is anyone. He should be ripped into and taken the micky out of everybody to make sure he never does it again, and that should be it Dont feed the trolls, and dont let the majority suffer for the minority
Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2012 Posted 31 July 2012 If Tom Daley's dad is going to feel let down because his son came fourth in the Olympic diving... Just wait until he finds out he's gay.
Leicester_Numan Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 No, it makes the whole situation worse It gives the 'Troll' exactly what they wanted from the whole thing, his face will be splashed over countless papers and internet sites.

If he's sick enough to make death threats don't you think he might be sick enough to carry them out? Can't take that risk. He was ripped into by everyone who knew about the tweets by the way
Captain... Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Who's to say he's no threat? If he's sick enough to make death threats don't you think he might be sick enough to carry them out? Can't take that risk. He was ripped into by everyone who knew about the tweets by the way With you on this one, but does he need to be jailed and punished and turned into a career criminal? Or does he need to get some professional help, because he seems a little unhinged?
Leicester_Numan Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 If Tom Daley's dad is going to feel let down because his son came fourth in the Olympic diving... Just wait until he finds out he's gay. Tom Daley's dad died from cancer last year. That's why that particular tweet kicked up such a fuss
Leicester_Numan Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 With you on this one, but does he need to be jailed and punished and turned into a career criminal? Or does he need to get some professional help, because he seems a little unhinged? How about sentencing him to a mental institution

He should be ripped into and taken the micky out of everybody to make sure he never does it again, and that should be it Dont feed the trolls, and dont let the majority suffer for the minority The problem with what you're saying though is that it was everyone ripping into him that set him off. He made that first insensitive, tasteless tweet and then apologised for it. Everyone else found out about it from the tv and ripped into him and that's when he started issuing the death threats which he continued doing after he'd been informed the police were monitoring him. It would probably have all died down if everyone had ignored it
Jaspa Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Im just looking at the bigger picture here, all the stuff in the news in the previous 12 months about internet freedoms and in turn personal freedoms, stuff like this fuels the blaze As weve seen a small case is only a small case, unless you add a celebrity into the matter, which also looks the deal here. Furthermore, this scallywag is no threat to any but himself with comments like those. Im sure the Daley and his setup are more than prepared for pretty much any situation, this guy is'nt even a bump in the road I hope he gets dealt with appropriately, but if I see another a**e faced politician going on about controlling the internet from this I wont be happy
