Why didn’t they consider that before arresting her and charging her? Why didn’t they think “Oh wait, all she did was say what she thinks in a tweet or two, and she didn’t say anything like ‘all ___s should be exterminated,’ so what are we doing? We can’t arrest her for that – we’d have to arrest everyone in the fucking world.”

I can’t make any sense of it at all. It enrages me as it enrages so many, but I also just can’t even make sense of it. What prosecutor would think this is worth prosecuting? And why?
