>I don't think it's justice, as it stands.

Can you clarify what you mean here? Do you think the guy who made the joke should go to prison?

[DiabloD3]

My reading of the part you quoted is, "It isn't justice because only the charges were dismissed, they owe him more than a simple apology."

[remarkEon]

Right, but the preceding sentences seem to conflict with that. More over, the following part of the comment

>Stating that the local police are acting unlawfully ... as a prank, is dangerous. You cannot convince me otherwise.

suggests that the guy who made the joke did something dangerous and should be punished for it. At least, that's the implication I'm reading.

[DiabloD3]

I think you're right. The meaning is unclear.

I think the legal precedent is damaging. I make no judgement on sentencing, as there was no harm done.

[remarkEon]

What legal precedent? The existing legal precedent that satire is okay?

[Supermancho]

To be clear, the precedent the case establishes, expanding the previous slightly.
