US bans abusive teenage emailer for life!

I don't think it right in any way shape or form to send abusive letters or emails or telephone calls. It is scary at worst, but basically implies a total loss of the argument. If something is worth saying it is worth saying properly.

Luke Angel is a 17-year old British teenager who has been banned from America for life for sending Barack Obama an abusive email, in which he calls the President a p***k. Luke said,"The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever." A Bedfordshire Police spokesman confirmed, "The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language. We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, "Oh dear, it was me"." Officers will take no criminal action.

So Bedfordshire police don't think much of it then? But what about the FBI and their nerves of steel. Seems Luke, being no angel, has shaken them up. So instead of being dealt with in a reasoned manner they get him banned for life. If he lives for another 80 years, will he still be banned.

American justice can be both summary and swift. Some hardened criminals are doing 200 years in jail. Of course, no living being could do that, but there has to be this savage revenge element in American justice which seems to be based in the dark recesses of the Puritan mindset. Woe betide the wrongdoer. Justice is battling on those scales with vengeance.

Luke Angel appears to be just a silly stroppy teenager. If the FBI can't deal with silly stroppy teenagers then they should let those who can. By banning him for life they show themselves up to be petty-minded authoritarians who should be told to stand at the base of the Statue of Liberty and have an hour's reflection.
