Carer gets 15-months jail for inciting violence online.

 

Julie Sweeney

Another Yahoo is sentenced to 15-months for inciting violence and hooliganism towards mosques.

Racist, Julie Sweeney, 53, of Church Lawton, Cheshire, pleaded guilty at Chester crown court, to "sending a communication to convey a threat of death or serious harm." The judge told Sweeney that "keyboard warriors" like herself had to take responsibility for the language that they used online.

The court heard that Sweeney was the primary carer for her husband and lived a quiet and sheltered life in Cheshire.  John Keane, defending, said Sweeney accepted that she had been stupid.

I think some British politicians need to take responsibility for the language that they use when they make inflammatory speeches to whip things up for their own self-interests and political ends. The job of a responsible politician should be to curb the instincts of the mob and not throw fuel on the fire.
