#2> When a person writing under the profile name "Hannah Love" responded with "i hope you [burn] in hell you fucking prick,"
Actually the comment was "i hope you fucking bring in hell you fucking prick". That is a pretty significant difference.

English as a second language. The former makes sense, i.e. I can parse that. The latter causes me to stutter and look confused when I read that.
Explain? Difference and meaning of the latter version?
I ignore the whole 'went to jail for a random FB comment' crap. That's just sad but not surprising any more.

"i hope you fucking bring in hell" is meant as "I hope you give them hell".

"bring in hell" could mean they are supporting him in his endeavor, ie. give(bring) them hell! but the "fucking prick" part kind of negates that idea.

I'm reasonably sure that bring is a typo for burn.
I mean yes, the way it was written is a valid sentence, but it's an odd one. Assuming a typo makes much more sense, especially with the concluding insult.

#8While they're at it why not arrest every musician, poet, and writer who ever penned dark or violent writing.

#9Wow, I didn't realise US police were that bad. After reading this I don't think I could ever feel safe enough to visit the US. Sounds like you'd have a better chance of getting justice in an African dictatorship where at least the dont-rape-me bribe would be affordable. Tourists really should be warned about this, because it's not the image the US tourist boards present to us at all.

"i hope you fucking bring in hell" is meant as "I hope you give them hell".
"I hope you give them hell you fucking prick"? I don't think so.
It's just a garden-variety wrong-word typo. I often make them, as do plenty of others.
