FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda British police have located and arrested a teen who trolled British Olympic diver Tom Daley with a hateful message referencing Daley’s late father.
The unnamed 17-year-old was arrested in Weymouth on suspicion of malicious communications, according to the BBC. A member of the public alerted police Monday night, according to the report. A police spokesman was unable to confirm whether the arrest was a direct result of his tweets directed at Daley.
Daley, 18, has more than 580,000 followers on Twitter. His fourth-place finish in the 10-meter synchronized diving contest on Monday was seen as a disappointment in his native country. One follower appeared to take the sentiment too far. After the event, Twitter user @Rileyy_69 sent Daley a public message reading, “you let your dad down i hope you know that.” According to TheStar.com, the messages later included the threat, “I’m going to find you and I’m going to drown you in the pool . . . ”
Daley’s father, whom the diver credits with inspiring his Olympic drive, died of a brain tumor in May 2011.
Daley then posted this tweet:
After giving it my all…you get idiot’s sending me this…RT @Rileyy_69: @TomDaley1994 you let your dad down i hope you know that
— Tom Daley (@TomDaley1994) July 30, 2012
Daley’s harasser later tweeted an apology, saying he didn’t know of the star diver’s father dying last year. But when Daley didn’t respond, Riley reverted back to his prior form:
@TomDaley1994 why don’t you respond to me you prick stop getting me hate alright I’ve said I’m sorry now fuck off
— ЯIᄂΣY JЦПIӨЯ (@Rileyy_69) July 30, 2012
The user’s Twitter account was later suspended.

Jones, whose social media success we profiled in May, is the standard bearer for Olympians on Twitter. She’s honest, hilarious, tweets often, and is a world class hurdler for the United States.
A member of the American men’s basketball team, Love is one of the NBA’s cleverest players on Twitter. He should be an entertaining follow in London.
Bolt will be one of the Olympics’ biggest stars. The Jamaican sprinter recently told us about his interest in tech and social media. He shares photos often on Twitter.
Mata helped Spain to the Euro 2012 title earlier this summer and will look to follow that up with an Olympic championship in August. He tweets in English and Spanish.
The Danish tennis star is engaging on Twitter, frequently posting her training and status updates. Even better, she dates pro golfer Rory Mcilroy — both are terrific follows when the other is competing.
The top women’s basketball player in the world suits up for the United States. Parker is active, humorous and down-to-earth on social media.
The American swimmer told us in May that he uses social media to boost his visibility and marketing potential. His lighthearted tweets and frequent interactions with fans on Twitter helped him pick up sponsors like BMW and Got Chocolate Milk.
A wrestler for the United States, Burroughs’ frequent updates, enthusiasm and humor have helped him rack up more than 20,000 followers. His handle, @alliseeisgold, is pretty cool too.
Meichtry swims for Switzerland and is betrothed to American swimmer Jessica Hardy. He’s enthusiastic about sharing the Olympic experience with followers.
The American middle-distance runner spoke to us in June. He is super active on Twitter and is an outspoken advocate for Olympians’ rights to market themselves, despite IOC restrictions.
Perhaps the 2012 Olympics’ biggest celebrity, James won his first NBA title with the Miami Heat in June and will look to follow up in London with his second gold medal. He took time off Twitter during the NBA Playoffs, but will likely be much more active during the summer games.
The soccer prodigy tweets mostly in Portuguese, but should be a fun follow as he tries to lead Brazil to its first Olympic title.
An American swimmer, Coughlin is super friendly, funny and accessible on Twitter.
In May, it was reported that Adlington would forsake Twitter in London because of cruel social media trolls. But the swimmer said she could never give up the microblogging network, and looks to be a solid follow as the Olympics visit her home country.
A star diver for Australia, Mitcham is one of the games’ few high profile openly gay competitors.
The United States women’s soccer team’s erstwhile goalkeeper is a great follow for soccer fans and non-fans alike.
Ginobili tweets largely in Spanish, but the basketball star is still worth your attention. You’ll love his sheer joy representing Argentina and respect his obvious pride for his country. And really, that’s what the Olympics are all about.
The American swimmer and rising marketing juggernaut is generous about interacting with followers and providing a glimpse inside the life of a London superstar.
Powell is one of a handful of incredible Jamaican sprinters. He frequently posts slice-of-life photos and — as evidenced by the screenshot at left — is religious about replying to fans and well wishers.
Still just a teen, the British diver is already a celebrity in the UK. He’s smart about using social media to his advantage.
Nicknamed “Blade Runner,” the South African runner has prosthetic lower legs. He will become the first double-amputee to ever compete in the Olympics (he’ll also participate in the Paralympics). On Twitter, he frequently provides training updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses while inspiring his more than 50,000 followers.
The Australian swimmer responds to followers, posts plenty of photos and speaks her mind — sometimes to a fault.
A favorite follow for many Olympic fans, American gymnast Liukin will be a major star in London for NBC after unexpectedly failing to make the U.S. team.
The Serbian tennis powerhouse is favored to win in London. He’s more active on Twitter than some of the sport’s other stars.
Sullivan is an Australian sprint swimmer. He has more than 24,000 followers, but tweets pretty much like any other normal dude.
