Yeah, grabbing a shovel out of the back of your truck and smashing up someone's care while at a stop light is defiantly a no-no. The Washington post link mentioned that they got charged with a hate crime. I just thought it could also read that was what they got arrested for, it wasn't, but I had to watch that video to find out it was because they smashed his car.Well that's unfortunate mate and makes me glad I don't live in America.
They did get arrested though. Says they were arrested then bailed. Doesn't say if they were charged or punished though. And certainly doesn't say they weren't so might need to check a bit further into that one.
Again though. I'm not in America so it's got nothing to do with my point.
Only they are not getting arrested for just saying dumb racist shit, they are charged with a crime in which they are clearly demonstrating a racist bend to their violence.It’s a slippery slope and people are hiding from the reality. Hate speech laws are bullshit plain and simple. I remember when Americans would fight and stand for your right to say something even if they didn’t agree with it, cuz Muh free speech. Now as we enter the era of 1984, George Orwell is rolling in his grave. Truly these are scary times when you can’t state objective facts such as your gender isn’t fluid, which is an undeniable reality. This is what happens when you give children prizes for participation......That said I have no fear of these small minds, I will speak freely as it is my God given human right.
Sorry it must suck when people are being drunken assholes to have to worry about their 'I'm not racist/homophobe/etc, but...' mask slip a little while beating up someone.
