Arrest Made After Twitter Rape Threats

The story seems reasonable to me. While Its a slippery slope arresting people for tweets, dont threaten to rape people.

What really gets me worked up is the comments section.

I think we should be abundantly clear, misogynist attacks and rape threats are vile and have no part in the MRM.

This has nothing to do with Mens Rights.

I wonder what set apart the one person who was arrested from the others who wrote similar things. Was the threat particularly bad, or was he just the only one the police could track down?

Caroline Criado-Perez received hostile posts, including threats to rape and kill her, nearly every minute in the 48 hours after she attended the Bank of England's unveiling of the new £10 note, with Jane Austen's image on, on Wednesday.

It sounds like somebody needed to be arrested, that level of harassment is certainly threatening.

The thing that notably bothered me was this quite;

This is something that happens specifically to women and it’s to make them shut up because there is a certain type of man who doesn't like women speaking and they don’t like women speaking back to them.

This is in reference to people making threats. I highly doubt that this is something that happens specifically to women. I am highly confident that this is something that happens to anyone on the internet.

I'm actually perfectly fine for some fuckwit getting arrested for a harassment charge after harassing a woman on twitter and threatening her with violence. Perfectly fine with that. I can't imagine it's a very serious charge, but may still teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, it would be best if this woman just shut the fuck up. Internet bullying is something that happens to literally EVERY-FUCKING-ONE that is on the internet at some point. It's not hate speech simply because the individual on the receiving end happens to have a vagina.

South Park mocked this whole idea of a crime being a hate crime simply because the victim was a person of color - when will feminism realize their own hypocrisy?

Oh wait, hypocrisy is likely a manifestation of the patriarchy, designed to oppress women.

I wonder how many arrests there have been over all the various feminist "kill all men" tweets....

The NSA is placing you under arrest for the precrime of aggravated rape. And murder. And embezzlement.

I must have missed something... isn't the Queen on all UK banknotes?

The only flaw I see with this article is the way it has spun the issue in terms of gender. The fact is that with how easy it can be to access personal information for a motivated enough person these days, death threats on twitter should definitely be taken seriously - regardless of gender.

Feminists threaten me every day with policies like VAWA.
