Give thanks for the First Amendment, because it's the only thing standing between us and this dystopian future:
The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) ~ British Police: You've Made Some "Offensive" Comments on Facebook, and We're Here to Arrest You.
After 3 young girls were brutally murdered, speech is the crime that police focus on.
This type of sh*t is why Elon Musk believes, "Civil war is inevitable."

Why yes ... yes you are.
All this stems from the stabbing of several children at a Taylor Swift dance class, which saw riots and protests, and the crackdown of government on the supposed 'far-right' protesters and not the violent roaming gangs of Muslims.
Global Statistics (@Globalstats11) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} Seeing the UK police arrest a man for making a Facebook post has got to be the most DYSTOPIAN proof of the communist takeover of Britain. You can't have an opinion; you can't protest for your country; they want you to bend the knee and allow your subjugation.
Yep.
GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga (@GAZAWOOD1) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} They are crazy.
Absolutely insane.
Dent In The World (@dentintheworld) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} Brits, continue to rise up.
Yes.
James Isherwell (@jamesisherwell) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} And people wonder how good Germans ever could have gone along with the Nazis - this is the first step.
It sure is.
Because someone reported these posts to the authorities. This is what Tim Walz means when he says socialism is 'neighborliness', by the way.
Amit Shah (Parody) (@Motabhai012) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} Migrant gangs are reportedly entering pubs and cafes to attack Brits.

But the police won't be showing up at their doors.
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ {Replying to @VigilantFox} How can these police do this willingly? It’s disgustingly oppressive.
They are an arm of the state and enforce the state laws.
Political Sock (@politicalsock) ~ Dear @CityPolice @metpoliceuk:
You’re a bunch of authoritarian wankers. Is that “grossly offensive” to you? You wipers of other people’s bottoms! Fortunately, I am an American citizen, not a British subject, so I have the right to be offensive.
Thank goodness for the First Amendment.
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ Orwellian.
Absolutely Orwellian.
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ Arrested for making comments on Facebook! Is this Britain or the Soviet Union? Is this accurate @CommunityNotes?

Readers added context:
This is in the UK.
The relevant law is The Communications Act 2003.
It states "electronic communications which are grossly offensive or indecent, obscene or menacing, or false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another"

Yes, it is. We've seen other videos of it.
FilmLadd (@FilmLadd) ~ Facebook commenters are easier to arrest than under-30 men with machetes.
It sure is. Which is why they do this.
The Dank Knight (@capeandcowell) ~ The Nazis in Great Britain are now arresting people for Facebook posts. REALIZE WHERE WE ARE.
And work like hell to make sure it doesn't happen here.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
