"Oi lad! You got a loicense for criticizing British police?"

Seriously though, how do they expect to do that? Why they threaten American posters only? And how the hell do they think it's a wise idea to add more oil in the fire with crap like that? It's like they beg to be mocked even more.

To be fair, it must be annoying to be mocked by Americans, but then again, they could just mock us back.

It's hard to believe that it's same Britain that used to rule the world. Or at least part of it.

As a Brit this doesn't surprise me at all. Our police force would rather deal with cyber thought crimes than 'traditional' crime these days.
...that said, just a few hours ago I did witness two of our boys in blue pulled over, blue lights flashing, wrangling a loan swan back onto the nature reserve and away from the road. I thank them for their service in the highly dangerous criminal activity they protect us from.

We don't even have an extradition treaty...

To put this in context, the wife of a yank secret service official killed a teenager because she drove on the wrong side of the road. She's free as a fucking bird and has faced little to no consequence.

Honestly, everyone would be better off deleting social media, it really rots people's minds.

Technically that's just standard procedure for a bunch of crimes that could be committed without necessarily requiring the offender being on the soil of the country the crime takes place in. Think using off-shore tax haven to avoid paying proper dues to the IRS. In those cases the local place where the crime took place files an extradition request to the country the offender is supposedly residing in, and hopes that other country will comply. If they don't then it'll just be posted to national border posts and airports, haven, and similar places of legal entry will apprehend the person should they try and enter the country.

It's very silly phrasing and a silly thing to criminalize, but still something that basically every country does all the time for a bunch of types crimes, including the US who makes those requests toward the EU all the time (Julian Assange would be one of those wanted people, for example).

That's easy to answer, Americans are the most toxic people on the internet, they believe US laws apply to the whole world and they feel they're untouchable, so they attack at please and believe they can go without any repercussions.

So yes, BP throw them out of your country with a punt on their asses!

You're right, I'm making use of my FREE SPEECH.

Your answer just confirm my sayings.

So I assume you're American (as I am because I was born in the American Continent).

I'm not here to start and argument, just pointed my thoughts, you can agree or not, you've got FREE SPEECH.
