In 2012 you can now go to prison for writing your thoughts and ideas.

Art is supposed to make you think. Sometimes art offends.

No one should have the right to censor art.

In 2012 in England we have now not the right to express our views.

The reason he is in prison is because he in a scum bag working class lad. If he had been middle class, wearing a skirt with a but plug up his ass and told everyone he was an artist he would have got £40k for his writtings.

Also somone else is looking to go to prison for saying those in the army should die.

I am not defending what they say. I think its vile. But I defend there right to say it.

No one has been hurt and nothing stolen. In fact if they had stolen somthing they would not go to prison. You can steal a car in the uk, drive and still not go to prison.

yes, i agree.

the same happened when a football player collapsed on the pitch and someone made racist remarks about it and sentenced to jail.

besides the point your still a fucking idiot dvtimes.

It doesn't say what he said, but I'm guessing it wasn't "art", as you put it, even under the most loose definition of the word.

Quite obviously writing something offensive, or any other non-violent crime in my opinion, does not deserve a prison sentence.

your an idiot.

what about fraud? that is non violent.

damn the retards on this board sometimes.

Took jokes off sickipedia (which has shit itself and gone offline in a panic) altered them slightly and then posted them on his Facebook. He probably wrote that he was busy raping April while Madeline Mcann watched or something similar.
What has being offensive about a missing 5 year old got to do with art you fucking moron?

Writing offensive messages about a missing five year old girl is just vile, just think if you had a missing child and you saw offensive messages about her. Prison is too good, break his arms and lock him in a room with the girl's parents.

I think it was the comments about raping a child that got him more into trouble than lack of taste...

wtf - i don't care how vile the comments he posted are it's outrageous that it's a crime and he's going to jail. what law was he charged with breaking? free speech isn't an absolute right, you can't yell fire in a theater, some countries have laws against hate speech with targets ethnic/racial groups, you can't utter physical threats - but making vile sick comments about a crime? :helpme

"Justice" should not be based on the emotions of one person. Family member or not. If it were, we would all be fucked.

Let me just repeat that in case anyone missed it:

And once again:

And finally:

Now fuck off and read some books.

In the rest of the world, no one cares.

*you're

:winkwink:

It would be awful if people friended DVTimes (adam blake, leeds) on facebook and then posted stuff about him dancing on children's graves, stealing content and posting on usenet for people to fuck him up his arse!

No wonder you are on the dole you dumb cunt.

Thank fuck you don't run the country.

Dude is in jail for a joke. This is just wrong.

12 weeks in jail whilst Justin Lee Colins (convicted of harassing his girlfriend) is off scott free.

Matthew Woods was arrested for his own safety on Saturday

He is better of in jail, they would have lynched him

Incredible! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

To be fair, his girlfriend seems like a fucking nutter... :2 cents:
