It's just part of a larger concern that we have more and more laws and less and less freedom.

I know where you are coming from and it is a worry ,social media in some cases is likened to a few people having a private conversation in the pub and if any of them told such sick jokes they would not be prosecuted it would be treated as a private conversation so we do have to tread carefully .

In this case i think the judge locked him up for his own safety
