Premier League soccer player got a racist tweet and police investigated:

quote:

After Villa's 2-0 win over Palace, a police statement read: "We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy.

"The 12-year-old from Solihull has been taken to custody. Thanks to everyone who raised it. Racism won't be tolerated."

Read the article. Maybe I missed it but it looks like the tweet was soooooo racist they could not show it.

It was in response to a BLM protest on the field.

Where does a 12 year old learn this language? Wouldn’t it be better to talk to his parents instead of arresting a 12 y/o?

He could've toned it down and said, "I'll leave certified mail in your mailbox."

The KKK branch of the White Supremes


Remember people fired for things said as a younger person.

This is one step further.

Aren’t threats pretty common on twitter?
