      I guess you mean legal consequences, so mostly none. There are words that should carry penalties, like if someone orders to kill a person, technically that’s only words. But in this case, as far as I know, this guy didn’t say anything like that so none, nothing at all.

      But a different thing is putting myself, and many other people I care more about than this bloke, in harm’s way to protect him from the consequences, even if unjust, of the things he said.

        So by your own admission, he did nothing wrong. But you want him to suffer unjust consequences and the curtailing of rights because of some supposed fear of splash damage…

        Not great, bud. Not great at all

          I didn’t say any of that, not even implied it. I said that ‘I wouldn’t put him in jail for the things I’ve read he said and tweeted’, I do think some of those were very wrong tho. And for being a super-rich fucker living off workers labour I wouldn’t put him in jail either, and I’m not gonna say what, in my opinion, he deserves for that because here in Spain posting on the internet or saying out loud some things is illegal and carry legal consequences.
