    Essex Police Charge Man for Plotting Watergun Fight on Social Network

    "A man will appear before magistrates next month for allegedly attempting to organise a town-wide water fight through his mobile phone.

    The prime minister said last week that the government would investigate whether social-networking platforms should be shut down if they helped to "plot" crime in the wake of the riots.

    The 20-year-old from Colchester, Essex, was arrested on Friday after Essex police discovered the alleged plans circulating on the BlackBerry Messenger service and Facebook.

    The unnamed man has been charged with "encouraging or assisting in the commission of an offence" under the 2007 Serious Crime Act, police said."

    What law was broken? As per the article it looks like they were afraid it would degenerate into a riot?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The 2007 "Serious Crime Act". Reactionary hysterics.

    What does that even mean? The other Anglo-phone nations are a little scary when it comes to this sort of thing. The Brits, Canadians and Aussies tolerate restrictions on speech and nonsensical laws like this that Americans never would.
