Liam Stacey's sickening tweets, which mocked Fabrice Muamba moments after the footballer collapsed after having a heart attack, can now be revealed.

As Muamba, 23, fought for life on the pitch, Stacey - a 21-year-old student at Swansea University - provoked revulsion with his hate filled abuse.

Police were inundated with complaints as members of the public, including ex-footballer Stan Collymore, reported the student's comments.

Stacey, a Swansea University biology undergraduate, was quickly tracked down and arrested.

Last week he admitted inciting racial hatred when he appeared briefly at Swansea Magistrates' Court and today he was jailed for 56 days at the same court.

The first of Stacey's messages began with "LOL (laugh out loud). **** Muamba. He's dead!!!"

A number of people took him to task for his views and he responded with a further string of offensive comments aimed at other Twitter users.


Stacey broke down as he was taken away in handcuffs to a holding cell beneath Swansea Magistrates' Court.

He was led past the public gallery, where he was briefly embraced by friends and his parents as he shook with emotion.

Moments earlier, District Judge John Charles told him: "In my view there is no alternative to an immediate prison sentence."

As disgusting as this is it really doesn't seem like something someone should go to jail for. It's frightening really that they did send him to jail. I mean it would be one thing if he said he was going to kill someone, it's another to say someone is dead.

Could someone please unblur these things? I despise censorship because it obscures the truth. We need to see these in their full ugliness if someone deserves to spend jailtime over them.

There are some crimes better punished by other means.
Public humiliation would teach a racist a lesson and save money. He wont feel so big and clever. He is also allowed to move on with his life.
For more serious crimes, flog them publically.
Crime will come down , costs will come down.
Shariah law doesnt look so bad!

Despite being an idiot , he probably would'nt have said these things to anyone face to face as he was hiding behind bravado on a website chatroom, but prison for this is ridiculous, when violent offences get a fine, muggers get a slap on the wrist and potentially dangerous people are set free by dogooders and lilly livered judges, the judge here obviously wants he's 15 minutes of fame.
Say goodbye to freedom of speech, say hello to 1984 (thats a film you should watch if you think your free)

I don't see the point of this. He's an idiot, but going to 'pick cotton ******' doesn't offend me at all as a person of African decent. It just tells me that this country isn't as far along as people try to pretend it is. He is a small fish in a big pond of people who do and say similar things. The only difference here, is that he is a 'nobody' and therefore can be dealt with harshly and no questions will be asked. If this guy was a police officer or an MP, everything would be done to make sure that he walked free. This is all just to create the illusion that justice is on the publics side. Community service and living with the shame he has brought upon himself and his family should be enough for this guy.

3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but udo not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

"He had drunk up to eight pints of beer and described his drunkenness as an eight on a scale of one to 10.
He asked the judge to leave Stacey, a third year biology student, at liberty to allow him to take final exams.
He said he was doing 'extremely well' on his course and had ambitions to become a forensic scientist.
He insisted that Stacey, who has an otherwise clean character, is not a racist and has friends from other ethic backgrounds.
He added that that was now very unlikely and he would already 'pay dearly for the rest of his life' for what he had done."

This youngster is 21 years old!

Isn't this issue running into some sort of scapegoating? Or even a witchhunting?

And here is another so-called "lie" being busted by truth.
What would the judge call this? And were is the public uproar about this. If this isn't called racism what would it be defined then? Suggestions, please.

"Dominic Kearney
"And where is the racist comment? Did he mention the ethnic background of "Muamba"?
Help me, I can't find it."

You can't find it? You know there are things called "search engines", right? Go and google the full, uncensored text of what he said, and then come back and try and say that what he said wasn't racist. How can you be so ill-informed? "

Your comment seems to be full of grief and hatred. Rascism has a 1000 faces especially in the counter racism scene.
And racism is not racism as it always depends on someone who thinks he has the right to jugde his brother. Now these self-called anti-racism fighters become more and more a thread to democracy, civil rights and freedom of press and freedom of thought.

The mote that is in thy brother's eye, you see, but the beam that is in thine own eye, you can not see. If you pulled the beam out of thine own eye, then you will see clearly enough, at the speck from your brother's eye to move.

Freedom of thought in this country is seriously under threat.All those who think this was right think of this,what when in the future your views might be considered against the prescribed mode of thinking and you are arrested in the early hours?will you agree with that?This is the method of the KGB or the Nazis.What happened to,I hate what you say but will fight to the death for you right to say it?These moronic remarks by this idiot were not shouted in public to people who would be antagonised and cause a breach of the peace,he did not encourage any crime.These words were read in private by people willing to read them but under no obligation to do so.I don't like what he said but I would ignore it or argue against it.This is not what police and courts are for.Be careful all you contributors,who knows when you will fall foul of the totalitarion speech police.I will not participate in any more debates,it's too risky.Be careful what you say you never know who's listening ,or reading.

I am sure there can;be careful you don't become one of them.You never know when the wind might change.The ancient rights of this country are planted like a forest to protect us from the storms.If you cut down that forest in pursuit of the devil,where will you hide when he comes after you?
