UK police commissioner threatens to extradite, jail US citizens over online posts: 'We'll come after you'
Fox News ^ | 8/9/2024

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.

"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded. The murders, allegedly committed by a now 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents, sparked a series of violent protests that tapped into broader concerns about the scale of immigration in the U.K.

Footage of the violent clashes involving anti-immigration protesters and the groups of counter-protesters, some of whom have been seen waving Palestinian flags, has gone viral on social media, and the government is warning that sharing such content may have serious consequences.

One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking to critics is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.

* asylum seeker

vs.

* 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents

A distinction without much of a difference.

There is no way in hell this will be tolerated by patriotic Americans.

They have no jurisdiction to do so.

They have no arrest powers here.

Their laws are their laws and do not apply outside their socialist hellhole.

A black of Rwandan ancestry slaughtered 3 little white children in a targeted racial attack.

The part of that threat that is worrisome is not that the UK is making it; it’s that the current administration would probably allow the extradition.

Can he do that? I wouldn’t think so!
I say he’s talking stuff, just the scare the average Englishman into further silence and continued denial that they have allowed too many Muslim Madmen into Britain.

A President Kamala would happily hand over Americans to Britain, if it is discovered they are MAGA in their beliefs and voting habits. She would probably get her picture taken, cackling and High Fiving her Socialist Vice President Walz.
