Three cheers for common sense! Desperate for a smidgen of victory, prosecutors tried to get Jeffrey Williams\u2019s probation revoked over him sharing a tweet<\/a>. While he didn\u2019t say anything particularly dangerous, the prosecution argued that the effects of what he said were. Other people \u2014 unrelated to Jeffrey \u2014 began to comment and share threats that stemmed from a tweet he shared. And while a \u201cdangerous\u201d post on social media might be enough to get a tenured professor fired<\/a>, it thankfully wasn\u2019t enough for Judge Whitaker to revoke the musician\u2019s right to not be in prison. You can see the order below:<\/p>\n

New: Judge Whitaker has ruled that Young Thug\u2019s probation will not be revoked. @ajc<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GPjyxzeqFp<\/a><\/p>\n

The prosecutions argument being colorable didn\u2019t take away from it being dumb. Thankfully, Judge Whitaker saw through it and left Jeffrey with a stern finger wag. The fun part of the order is in the footnotes: <\/p>\n

While the Court does not find that the cited social media post rises to the level of a violation of Defendant\u2019s probation, it may be prudent for Defendant to exercise restraint regarding certain topics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is the most judicial \u201cshut up, dummy\u201d I\u2019ve ever heard. It is good advice though \u2014 he\u2019d be better off sharing his opinions on the DA in a Signal group chat than airing his thoughts on Twitter. Just make sure he doesn\u2019t add any journalists to the group. Sorry, ThuggerDaily<\/a>.<\/p>\n
