No, you go to jail instead for offending someone. But you still have a job to pay off your court debts with (the US, thankfully, doesn’t have looser pays courts).
As to the rest of your comment, I love it. Any criticism of the EU or Brussels is far right extremism and must be ignored. Its working out great for Trudeau smearing protestors and ignoring them.
It's pretty hard to believe it.
Can you point me to some example ?
Is it what happened to you?
Are you sure it was just an offense?
In which country did it happen?
> Any criticism of the EU or Brussels is far right extremism and must be ignored
I was addressing the wording.
Far right movements in Europe use the same slogans, they are pretty easy to spot, because they are the same in any European language.

Finland two years for tweeting a picture of the bible:

Baltics passed similar laws for communist symbols (so no Che shirts in Vilnus!)
These are all laws against offending someone’s sensibilities. And I could go on, I haven’t even mentioned the UK!
Now, apologia of fascists and commies is unwise. But in the US it is constitutionally protected.
Or maybe you did -- do you, at long last, have some sense of decency left?
That's a bit of a oversimplification. What she was prosecuted (not convicted) on was definitely not a just a simple picture of the bible. Besides, that's only one of the charges. Other charges come from the times she implied homosexuality to be a genetic degeneration and later on called homosexuality a disorder.
Also, two years of jail is the maximum for that type of crime. IF she is found guilty, she will almost definitely get some relatively small fine.
It's understandable the christian folks want to paint this whole case as just "two years for tweeting a picture of a bible". But it's much more nuanced than that. Additionally the trial is still ongoing and it's very much unclear what the outcome will be. And this case is still handled in district court, I highly doubt it stays on that level. There's a lot of analysis and comments of the trials in the newspapers, but they are all in Finnish. I found this one in English that explains the case a bit better than "two years for tweeting a picture of the bible". https://yle.fi/news/3-12284380
