And Conservative Councillor Simon Bennett, from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands is a whiny little Beotch. A UK teen made fun of a politician. Then cops showed up at his door.
It’s easy to take free speech for granted when it’s all you’ve known as an American — but look no further than the United Kingdom for a reminder of why our First Amendment is so important.
That’s where a 15-year-old boy was awakened by four West Midlands police officers early one morning this August, because his Facebook posts allegedly offended a local politician.
The offensive post? He put whiskers and rabbit ears on a photo of Bennett, so Bennett sicked the local cops on the 15-year-old. The cops, having clearly solved all crime in the West Midlands, arrested the kid, took a mugshot and collected his DNA. Why? "Because shut up, and obey our authority, that's why!"
