Didn't prince harry once dress up as a nazi? do they just ban all offensive comedy too?

Everyone has seen the Four Lions movie? surely that's just as offensive as this guy?

In a statement at the time, the force said: 'North Yorkshire Police can confirm that a man has been arrested after the force received complaints about a man wearing an offensive costume on social media, depicting murderer, Salman Abedi who killed 22 people at Manchester Arena.

'The man, who is aged in his 40s, was arrested on 1 November on suspicion of a number of offences including using a public communication network to send offensive messages.

seems he pleaded guilty
The 40-year-old was arrested and last week pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message online and faces up to two years in jail when he is sentenced on October 3.

How soon was it before people started doing twin tower jokes? surely it can't have been that many years.

Why is it jailable?

If someone makes a documentary and has a acted scene of someone in similar outfits is that now illegal?

Is comedy sketches now illegal?

It's poor taste, you shouldn't be arrested but you should be shunned by your peers for being a ****.

This really. It's freedom of speech so shouldn't be a crime, but what an absolute cretin to think it would be acceptable to dress up in something like this.

The more suitable punishment would be name and shamed by the papers and sacked by their employer. Might make others think twice about doing something similar.
