I see the argument for "Because it's on the internet it must be global." but if someone from the UK was to phone up someone from the US and scam them out of money it makes sense that they, the scammer, should be punished under UK law.

Same applies for the internet. It's a communication device, not a country.

But only if he lived in Arizona? What if someone from Texas taunts someone from Arizona into breaking their own law, does the Texan get punished at all? This is all so ridiculous lol

We should all send "Arizona" a mail asking:

"Arizona, u mad?"

I'm pretty sure only federal offenses are things someone can be extradited to the US to stand trial for. There are interstate extradition provisions allowing states in the US to render suspects unto other states if appropriate, but I do not believe Arizona has any power to compel a foreign nation to hand over its Internet trolls so that Arpaio can dress them in pink underwear.
