If You Followed The Links Within The OP Articlefrigidweirdo said:This is NOT freedom of speech. This is the exact thing that freedom of speech does not cover. Going around and telling people to fuck themselves, angering people at their own event, and potentially putting himself in danger.
Not freedom of speech. He can say that kind of stuff, but to go and attack people with it, is not a freedom protected.
You Would Have Seen This:
"However, reports say that the pamphlets neither encouraged hate against homosexuals, nor advocated violence.
Whatcott, who has been fired from his job, said he wasn't given food for 24 hours while in jail"
The Official Police Statement Doesn't Say What The Specific 'Hate Speech' Was Either
Toronto Police Service :: News Release #41431
Just because you don't encourage hate nor advocate violence, doesn't mean that people won't get annoyed at this. It doesn't mean it's not insulting to people.
Imagine someone going around with pamphlets that tell you that you're born wrong. How would you feel?
That I want to ignore them. I wouldn't, however, want to see them dragged away in handcuffs for doing it.
Why? They're purposefully going around trying to cause problems.
