It's offensive for sure but worthy of punishment? Nope.

I really don't get why you were banned for this. As someone living in Canada, more and more Syrian refugees are in my city, and a lot of them cant speak one word of English, and are more of a liability. Meanwhile, tax payer dollars are going into paying all their expenses for a year.....simply ridiculous.  Then again, our country is run by a virtue-signalling feminist who says "peoplekind" instead of mankind, so we shouldn't really have expectations On top of that, this only raises the threat of terrorism. Just look at the various incidents in Europe recently.....its not a coincidence. 

Not to be pedantic but this wasn't a hate crime (despite the BBC saying otherwise). He was found guilty of malicious communication. For it to be a hate crime the prosecution would have had to prove he hated Jews.

It's farcical that we have these ridiculous laws and it's even more farcical that lower court 'judges' are deciding what is and isn't grossly offensive. The judge was right in his interpretation of the law. It's the law itself that's dumb. Ironically the way we get rid of these laws is to commit a more serious crime alongside the hate/offensive crime so that the case goes to Crown Court and a jury can nullify them. A Glaswegian jury would probably lynch the judge and prosecutor for good measure. These cases stay in the lower courts on purpose. There's no right to jury trial or legal aid (in some cases) and the defendant is likely to plead guilty to get the case over and done with. They still achieve their aim of sending their message to the rest of the population.

🔸Disability
🔸Race/ethnicity
🔸Religion/belief
🔸Sexual orientation
🔸Transgender identity

These are all protected characteristics against hate crime. Targeting someone because you think they are different to you is a crime! Be #GreaterThanAHater and fight hate crime. pic.twitter.com/8iUadTvLAw

This is the best post I've ever seen on the site.

Bless the Scotland police for making that almost satirically ominous Authoritative tweet. I've had so much entertainment reading through some of the 8,500 comment responses.. Worth a read if you want some laughs.

I think the great irony about all of this is that someone in Nazi Germany actually got arrested for doing the same thing in the 1940's.

Wait is watching and laughing at a hitler downfall video a crime now?

Why are sjw so stupid

When you're calling the British legal system "a social justice warrior" ... the term has no meaning except as a label to slap on things you don't like.
