That is what was said, and in no way was anything said was in a threatening manner, freedom of speech and expression is something what we in so called free country's class as corner stone in are beliefs as a free nation. and look at the twitter joke trail http://www.publicserviceeurope.com/article/2290/twitter-joke-trial-shows-uk-law-not-fit-for-purpose. if famous people are going to run to the police every time some one says something what they don't like and use the police to intimidate people because they are famous and have money they should get a stronger backbone and learn how to block people or dont use twitter or facebook ect.

[quote user=HomeBrew] Seems to me, the kid apologized to the diver so couldn't he just drop the charges if he wanted? [/quote]

otester, if i said to you that i was going to come round to your house and drown you and ass rape you at the same time would you take that as a serious threat ?
if we are going to start to arrest people for saying what they want too online with out using abit of common sense that is never going to work and it effects the freedom of speech and expression, and its such a waste of time for the police and its the press who has made this into a big deal when its not really.
