Another person jailed for trolling. 15 months. For going on Facebook and posting "Don’t protect the mosque. Blow the mosque up with the adults in it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x105wgz5o
Apparently the prosecution accepted her post "was made out of anger, not because of racism, and was reckless rather than genuinely intended to put people in fear." The judge said no-one had suggested she would have taken part in any violence, but "so called keyboard warriors like her, have to learn to take responsibility for their inflammatory and disgusting language".
She's 53, no criminal record, and the primary carer for her husband. Wouldn't a suspended sentence have been more just?
