Be careful what you type on your Twitter Account in Peoria, IL. The mayor may send his thugs to get you and your toys. Computers, Cell phones, Ipads and your bag of Weed will be compensated.
I hope that the news media keeps up with this story now that they City is being sued for this false arrest.
If you post online then this is a must read. [/I]

CLEARLY the Twitter user was attempting to impersonate the mayor on twitter. It may have been satire or parody, or whatever, BUT he was breaking Illinois law.
I personally hate Twitter......I hope the douchebag learned a valuable lesson.

Yeah you have to use some common sense when using the keyboard. We all go a little crazy once in a while but making it a daily or weekly campaign do personally attack, abuse or bully someone and you can get spanked.
