Police have arrested a 19-year-old man over an "offensive" tweet about the Glasgow bin lorry crash that has killed six people.
The tweet, which has since been deleted along with the account that posted it, joked about the tragedy, in which the driver lost control of the vehicle and drove on the pavement, hitting Christmas shoppers "like pinballs".
The tweet said: "So a bin lorry has apparently driven in 100 people in Glasgow eh, probably the most trash it's picked up in one day".
The arrested man, believed to be Ross Loraine, from Sunderland, handed himself in to Northumbria Police.
The force said he was arrested on suspicion of making a malicious communication and had been bailed while they investigated.
Rest of artcle ...
I cannot believe that the police are wasting their time with this Tweet, the Internet and the world at large is full of people who make offensive comments that, at the end of the day, have no significant impact on anyone. Unless new facts emerge this whole situation sounds totally ridiculous. :shrug:
