Greater Manchester Police have arrested four people for comments made in person and online about the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The first reported arrest was of a 24-year-old man from the Oldham area for “malicious communications” on social media, with police alleging he was “making reference and support for the terrible events” and taking him into custody on March 16th.

The following morning a 38-year-old woman from Rochdale — site of one of Britain’s more infamous rape gang scandals — was arrested for what the force described as “a racially aggravated public order offence” involving “comments made online about the New Zealand attack.”

“People are entitled to free speech and this is always respected, however, where this crosses the boundary into criminal offences, let me be really clear, we will make arrests and if the evidence is there we will seek the prosecution of those involved.”

In other words: You can say what you want unless we disagree with you.

Note that no "criminal offences" have been stated by the police - but they will arrest you - and if - there is then evidence…. Think about that, they will arrest you and then see if there is evidence to prosecute you.
