Free Speech and Incitement of racial hatred are 2 very different things here. I find it interesting that most of the time when people complain about free speech its usually a situation that involves some kind of objection to not being permitted to cause offense to another person or group. Secondly your example of "european idiocy" is actually just your own idiocy. We see fit to punish all forms of abuse in a court of law, nothing idiotic about that.
Nah, nothing like that. In the McDonalds video somebody needed to step in to help. In this video let anybody put a hand on her and now they're facing the judge.
Now that's what I call "a damn shame". At least you could've given her the dreaded evil eye or something. How about looking in her eyes then quickly darting yours in a different direction when she looks your way? Stand up and be a man!
That's because we Americans acknowledge that the very concept of free speech protection laws is based upon protecting unpopular speech. And by the way, the very fact a crazy woman sitting down ranting can incite the British to "racial hatred" is another example of European idiocy. If that woman had said those things on a bus or train in the U.S., the other passengers would have simply called her a bitch and then moved on with their lives. We Americans don't consider saying stupid things a form of abuse...because unlike you Europeans, we're not a bunch of thin-skinned pussies.
Suppose that this had happened in NY? I wonder what would've happened to her? However, I think having a child on lap probably saved her.
Miss Wacy, there always be very daft people on either the tram or tube. Let's hope this video goes viral and let her be called.
Firstly we are talking about the UK, not Europe. Here the vast majority of the population and the law of our land agree that everyone whilst in a public place and at work has the right NOT be abused verbally or otherwise. Race is just one of the many things covered. Thats not idiotic, its noble, decent and basic common sense. Secondly you Americans do consider certain things said to be forms of abuse, why do think words and terms like jiggaboo, nigger, "boy", coon, porch monkey and darkie were invented, to incite racial harmony? Or were the slaves just a bunch of thin skinned pussies?
well said m8, this videos hype is starting to die down now, nearly everyone at work these past few days were talking about it
Then dont bitch and whine when white people tell all black people to go to Africa or make any racist remarks because they also feel black people are flooding their perfect white world. Hell most white men feel this way about IR.
I'm not the bitching and whining type...I'd just tell them to go back to the caves of europe. You WOULD BE PISSED if Nigeria was flooded with immigrants AND YOU KNOW IT
Eurotrash bitch is not a term becoming of a real man, you seem to have an over compensating sense of masculinity and you are suggesting violence is an answer to someone expressing free speech. 2 women did man up in the clip and told her straight. No one called the police, the video went viral and British Transport Police took action of their own volition. Even if someone did make a complaint to the Police they would not be a eurotrash bitch as you so eloquently put it. Merely reporting an incident that breaks more than just one BRITISH law. The woman is a disgrace put no one man or woman should dare try and harm her. That would be plain wrong.
Join the Tea Party and urge them to tell all immigrants to go back to where they came from and tell the US government to stop the Diversity Lottery. Question: would you be pissed if Canada is flooded with immigrants?
This is why you just have to laugh at racists. After they have said everything full of hot air and emptied their bowels, the world carries right along and anything they said doesn't make one iota of difference in the real world. Its simply "NEXT" They simply aren't worth being validated.
Yup the fact that other whites condemned her and aided the blacks goes to show you how far we've come granted this was in the uk and they're generally seen to be more accepting of us than the us
