    This matter should not be treated lightly. People in this country, and young people in particular, imagine that they have all rights to say and do as they please. Here comes a teachable moment. If this irresponsible idiot is anxious for a public bloodbath, why not offer up her own father, brother, son or even self. Why pick on someone else’s family member? Drugs, neglect, and outright dungeness seem to have hardened the hearts and brains of so many of us, especially the young, idle, ignorant attention seekers among us. Please, Judge, no slap on the wrist punishment for this one!

    I remember a particular politician says that blood will flow openly in public during a political campaign, and for today that politician was never arrested, or seek out by the authorities. Yes, what this young individual says about the PM is totally wrong, and should be question by the authorities. I am sure she/he is not only person(s) who has think that way and have say the same words towards the PM.
