Don't lower yourself

There is actually quite a lot of immigrant crime in the news today - including a young woman murdered by a Polish man, a gangland murder involving Turks, and a black teenage rapist.

Far less serious than any of these is the case of 21yo Deyka Ayan Hassan from Harrow, who has been found guilty of sending a malicious electronic message.  She tweeted that certain people deserved to be beheaded, and apparently she meant it as a joke, and yet that is not how large numbers of people took it.

As well as being prosecuted, she has received online threats to kill or rape her.

Please, no matter what the provocation, do not lower yourself to the standards of people like Hassan.  I hope that the people who sent her the threatening messages will be prosecuted as she has been.
