Everytime I see hate crime, I read it as thought crime. If you're jailing asshats on social media, that's a never ending job that will soon end up with yourself in jail. Who hasn't said something insulting or disparaging, especially towards a public figure?
I wish they used more honest language. He was jailed for an 18-second clip he posted to Facebook. That means he was jailed for insulting them, disparaging them, or threatening them (though no threats are mentioned), not "abusing".
