"It is vital that people report any hate incidents to us. Everyone has the right to live in safety and without fear."

ACC MacDonald added: "We are aware that hate crime is often under-reported, however, Police Scotland is committed to reviewing and fully investigating all reports of hate.

"I would encourage anyone who has been the victim of hate crime in any form, to come forward and report it to the police by calling 101 or 999 if it is an emergency."

Community Safety Minister Annabelle Ewing said: "There is absolutely no place for any kind of prejudice in Scotland.

"This campaign will not only encourage and empower young people to recognise hate crime and report it..."

Do you think calling a social group of gammers a "bunch or nerds" should be considered a hate crimes?

Should criticizing Jesus or Muhammed be considered hate speech?

To answer your question, I actually agree with you; gamers are the most oppressed minority because of liberal sjws.

shivas.wisdom said:

I didn't realize I needed to be clearer. Yes, gamers are the most oppressed minority and calling a group of gamers 'nerd' should be a hate crime.


At least women, muslims, queer folk, and black people all get recognition. Literally no one but gammers ever even thinks about gamers

Do you mean the hate speech people typically spew shortly before committing hate crimes?

No, Koods, not hate crimes. Hate speech.

So you don't think hate crimes should be reported?

What the fuck  is wrong with reporting someone who is bullying a student with insults and name calling?

Quote:

Police Scotland said a total of 5,889 hate crime files were created in 2016/17.

About 900 cases involved a perpetrator aged between 11 and 15 and one-third of those 900 incidents (32%) also involved victims in the same age group.

Thank you

That little line inspired you to do another post about how you think Europe is goin' down?

Much ado about nothing.  Like the hate speech conviction against the person who put on a seminar or whatever for the sole purpose of slamming Mohamed.

I guess in some parts of Europe, they have determined that maliciously slamming the figurehead of a major world religion is just a social powder keg.  People might freak when you do that.  So there's a law against it.

What if someone went around giving lectures about every single thing your mom ever did that would make people hate her while saying nothing about any virtues she may have?  How would you feel about that?

You know something else they have in Europe that was supposed to be the slippery slope to totalitarianism?  Public health insurance.  Back in the mid 20th century, Ronald Reagan and the rest of Ayn Rand types were telling us all how that will lead to communism.



Fifty years later, Europe is more democratic that America, its population is healthier and people don't go bankrupt from medical bills or put off medical care because they can't afford it.  And the public debt there is in less than America's despite the government paying for the nation's medical bills!

Bah ha!

This crap you post about Europe is just downright weird.  Where are you getting this from?

I mean speech in everyday life and on forums/Internet.

Even if someone yelled "Allah" before a crime, there is no need to define his words in some legal term of hate speech. What would be the point of that?

Are you suggesting that anything someone says before committing a crime should be considered hate speech for everyone else?

Are you an olympic athlete XUL? Because you can make some superhuman leaps. Granted they're leaps of logic, but that could carry over to physical leaps for all I know.

AFAIK hate speech is pretty specific, regarding an intense consuming dislike of someone or some group and threatening them with physical harm. It's not wishing them run of the mill misfortune.

Hate speech is the precursor to sociopaths snapping and losing their tenuous grips on reality, and taking action to make their fantasies come true.
It's probably a good indicator of a future significant problem. Admittedly that's conjecture on my part but I'd be willing to bet someone like an FBI profiler would agree.

A good analogy is having a 6 or so year old living in your house that really likes to play with matches. If you don't address the situation, it's a safe bet that your house is going to burn down.

edit: Fixed a typo, added clarification, and saw that you'll be back tomorrow. You'd better be back or have a doctor's note on Monday excusing your absence.

I totally agree.

And every liberal in this thread defended the article call for reporting hate speech -- even if they didn't read it. Liberals don't defend speech or any freedom. For some reason, they want to kill it and defend reporting "hate speech." Especially when they can't even operationally define it!

It's obvious as of late.
