That's how we used to deal with mental illness, not sure how effective it was.
And I do think that it's a form of mental illness - the inability to see that something is going to massively offend a large number of people or seriously upset an individual or small group who are still grieving.
I've not seen the post either, but for the police to get involved it must have been something targeted and inciteful or deliberately hurtful. "Comedians" like Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr seem to get away with it in front of an arena crowd, so in their case it must be the audience who have the mental issues. The former made jokes about Katie Price and her disabled child, the latter about Reeva Steenkamp within days of Pistorius' conviction.
