A 16-year-old boy was arrested at a Pink concert in Australia over the weekend after he tweeted a reference to the singer’s “Timebomb” song.
According to The Age, the teen was attending the U.S. pop star’s concert at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sunday when he tried to express his excitement in a way that authorities did not find amusing.
“@Pink I’m ready with my Bomb. Time to blow up #RodLaverArena. Bitch,” he wrote.
In an interview with 10 News, the boy said that that arena staff used the photo on his Twitter profile to track him down out of the crowd of 12,000 people.
“They just came up to me and showed a photo and said ‘is this you?’” he recalled. “I said yeah, because it was my face, and suddenly they just turned me around and grabbed my hands and forced me out the back.”
David King, the teen’s father, explained to 3AW radio that Melbourne police offered to drop the charges against his son after they realized he was not a terrorist, but arena officials insisted that he be arrested.
“The policeman said to me, ‘if it was up to me, I would have booted him in the backside and said go home,’” King said. “But they demanded [he] be arrested.”
The boy now faces charges of being a public nuisance.
A spokesperson for Melbourne and Olympic Park venue insisted that the matter had been handled appropriately.
“We can’t risk not taking matters like this seriously,” the spokesperson said. “Our security staff acted to ensure the area was secure and handed the matter over to the police.”
This shows how stupid people are getting.
ReplyDeleteSTOP TAKING TWITTER SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!
The real terrorists are the government, not innocent civilians.
What happened to common sense?!
ReplyDelete"What happened to common sense?!"
ReplyDeleteIt's not particularly common anymore.
1. Don't put your photo blatantly on your twitter.
ReplyDelete2. Don't say you are going to blow up an Arena .
3. Understand more about Facial recognition .
4. Understand that the Police have common sense but they work inside a stupid and backward inefficient system.
Its tragic how far this country has fallen.
ReplyDeleteAnon is correct, our zionist controlled governments are the real terrorists.
Same thing that happened to "military intelligence" and "public servant", its become an oxymoron.
ReplyDeleteThe danger was all a fools dream. Over reaction is an effort to enhance position in the power structure perceived by the person responding.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with THEIR mental state. Talk about terrified pansies.
ReplyDeleteJudicial Ethics --- LOL
ReplyDeleteYou were doing okay until "police have common sense" .
ReplyDeleteThey deliberately hire LOW IQ slugs to be cops because those are
TOO STUPID to question orders.
Well in this case , if you read the story the Police had common sense didn't they ? if the that is the trend then, that is the trend , these things are more related to Pay and Training than a deliberate policy of hiring people of a certain IQ . Government would want thinking police not idiots , otherwise why hire police at all why not just have jungle rules? we can all move to Liberia ?
ReplyDeleteIf the government were a person, he would be given meds and thrown in an asylum for being a dangerous paranoid schizophrenic. Instead, we're putting a crown on them and groveling at their feet begging for their protection.
