This is not a one- off in the UK.

I'd like to believe that both the right and the left in America can agree that this situation is preposterous and outrageous.

JD Vance was spot on calling this out earlier this year.

Inciting Violence and Damage to Property are okay with Jeff!

His arrest at the airport was again for inciting violence but not connected to his criminal trial for the charges above.

Note that Jeff never appears on any threads of Trump's insane censorship including withholding money allocated by Congress, threatening revoking citizenship, or even pulling licenses from news stations he dislikes.

Just Jeff being Jeff.

JeffJ has proven himself to be nothing more than a deplorable Trumping MAGAt.

Inciting violence isn't covered by the 1st AMENDMENT in the US.

How about this gem, free speech? or inciting violence?

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind
and you will pay the price, You
won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
- politician

This to me is worse because it's explicit to whom it the vengeance will be brought.

Sycophant along to defend the indefensible. Not surprised. Locking up a guy over 3 tweets.

Trying to get someone killed and damage to property are AGAIN not crimes to Jeff if he disagrees with you.

Remember this is who they are.

"Locking up a guy over 3 tweets."

What did they say? Paraphrase them for us. Thanks.

Looky at DingDong all worried about freedom of speech in the UK.

Meanwhile back in America we are arresting a U.S. Army Vet for "conspiracy to impede" Trumpy's authoritarianism and throwing Senators to the floor and handcuffing them just for trying to ask a question at a "press conference".

" Trying to get someone killed"

You clearly didn't even read the 3 tweets he was arrested for. If you had you'd realize how stupid you sound. Either that or you are trolling high is distinctly possible.
