U.K. Arresting People for Implied Wrongthink

[maskedmelon]

Apparently a man has been arrested in the U.K for inciting racial hatred with the following tweet [TRIGGER WARNING]:

"I confronted a Muslim women [sic] yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said "Nothing to do with me" a mealy mouthed reply."

Hope this shitbag is hit with the full force of the law. This kind of deplorable activity has no place in our society.



Swish,

Could explain this situation?

Short of threatening someone or screaming "FIRE!!" or "BOMB!!" in public, when did we become such pussies that it's illegal to say certain things?

One time in Bawston outside a bar a pal was talking to a minority in a bit of a serious n questioning tone.

The minority flipped out and shouted at the top of his lungs "Are you fucking kidding me?!? I could get 20 years just for talking to your white ass!!!" and jogged across the street, paced back and forth across the street starring at him from a distance.

Relevant story imo. Free speech is ded.

Anybody can shoot their foot off with a shotgun while drunk if they really want to.

Most countries don't have the same speech laws america has. Arguably if you look at the state of our nation, being the most powerful but having the worst in the quality of life compared to any other developed democratic nation.. they might be onto something.

FYI just becuse you CAN shoot your own foot off as a joke with a shotgun drunk at a party, that doesn't mean it necessarily makes your quality of life better.

Ehhh bit misleading considering America has the largest criminal justice system with many millions on probation...add mass incarceration and mass probation into the equation and it evens up the "free speech" America "has".

On probation you can get handed your full sentence just for talking to someone who complained you were rude to them. Your P.O. can violate you at any time, and for non-criminal offenses. "Your honor, hes being an asshole...give him 6 months" happens in Boston.

You can be brought before a judge for ANY REASON while on probation, even being annoying, and have your probation revoked. Still have friends that are P.O.'s Seen it happen 100 times.

That's true but way to meta for people here to understand.
