Uhhh... wow...

Well... I don't have a Twitter... and uhhh...

I mean, do those two people LOOK like they're going to "destroy America".......? : I don't think so...!!!

Blargh, I don't think they should be banned from entering the US. I mean, it's figurative language! Despite such negative wording....

And the part where they were searching for shovels made me lol.

But uhhh...
People say things like, "I'm going to kill Casey Anthony!" or "I wish she was dead!" or wishing or threatening people who have committed stupid crimes and blah blah and people like her, but people like these who say mean things aren't actually going to do anything, of course. They're just empty threats. Usually...

Sooo uhhh I don't think there's anything to worry about.

And I'm sure many people who enjoy politics say stuff like wanting to kill [politician] and poof and stuff and stuff.

Sooo..... Umm no worries!

You're good, trust me!

Actually, I don't want to be liable for your actions, so, uhhhhh DON'T GO BY WHAT I SAY hahaha......!!!

Cough cough,
Pika.

P.S. I apologize for my retarded post.... s:

I interpret the "diggin" as in urban slang, but perhaps the addition of "up" made the security people suspicious. But seriously?! Just because of one small comment they're scrutinized and arrested...gosh, perhaps it's just completely my opinion, but the U.S. is getting really paranoid these days cuz the 9/11 event still remains in our memories? Idk.

I think it kind of serves them right, did they forget the words they say will have consequences. When Twitter is becoming a viable source for information about real world action, I mean, I don't post I'm eating a sandwich when i was just joking about it...
Maybe it was an over reaction to a slang using status update, but welcome to the US 😉
I would have let them stay if they voluntarily got a cavity search, lol

Ridiculous. I don't really have much else to say about it. Watch your slang... I guess. Celebrities often get a lot of heat for things that 'slip out'. I find it kind of amusing, but it also goes to show what a paranoid world we live in.

Boo Hoo. 🤨

I actually dont feel bad for ppl who just post anything online w/out a care or thought. We live in paranoid times. Best watch what you say/type & where you say/type it. I wont comment on whether I think was done was silly or not but I will say I feel no sympathy.

hahahaha. twas kindda funny. but for security purposes not so funny i guess. might be. but whatever thought that they were kindda overreacting with this and yeah what about people who write about murdering Bieber. yeah, i know, im not agains him dying but.. stating a point here about threat, maybe nothing much is going there that they just have to go and arrest some british tourists.
