Good time to bring up the racist woman on a tram incident.
I used to take this tram every day to go to school. She got arrested following the video becoming so popular online.

Yeah, I didn't quite get that, either. I guess you could say it was for harassment. I guess. But that's a pretty fine line.Originally Posted by sublimaze
She was, however, a massive cunt.

It's not a fine line at all. The law in the UK is quite clear: "Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person's colour, race, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation is forbidden. Any communication which is threatening, abusive or insulting, and is intended to harass, alarm, or distress someone is forbidden."

Well, then that law is pretty absurd.

Could you explain why?

Yes. I understand harassment is an issue, but saying something racist or homophobic shouldn't be against the law. It makes someone an asshole, sure. But it should not be illegal. That's ridiculous. Hurting someone's feelings shouldn't get you arrested.

Just arrested? I'm kinda hoping her kid gets taken away from her. Racist shit should not be allowed to breed.

its a very good point - do those "hate preachers" you read about get arrested each time they spout their racist shite?
We all agree racism is absolutely wrong and abhorrent - but do all forms of racism get treated with equal contempt?
