Racist jailed for spewing online abuse.

[Bob Blaylock]

Well that is the entirety of your objection. If you cant say it to someones [sic] face you shouldnt [sic] be able to cower behind a keyboard and say it.

You British Filth have no place from which to tell us Americans what we should or should not be able to do. We fought two wars to establish this, and should it become necessary to fight a third war for this purpose, a likely result would be that your dirty shithole of a country would completely cease to exist.

Your posts tempt me to wish that the U.S. would invade and conquered the U.K., and oppress your people the same way your people once tried to oppress us.

But you seem to be doing very well at doing this to yourselves, anyway, without our help.

At least tommy the bloodthirsty brit isn't calling for the guy's death - yet.

You know deep down he is but can’t mustard up the courage to say it…

If this lad did it to his neighbour the police would arrest him for causing trouble. And rightly so

Really? For what? For calling the neighbour names?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Did they call for violent revenge against the players?

Have you ever seen how Philly Fans treat opposing players of all colors?

I dont think that you get it. It sounds like the Philly fans abuse opposing players because they are opposing players. These youngsters were abused because they are black. There is a profound difference and perhaps you should think about it.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It took your post to call my attention to the paradox, here.

By the very law that the Tiny Tyrant is here defending, many of his own postings here would make him a criminal.

Bob i know that your religion doesnt like people of colour.

Man jailed for racially abusing Rashford, Sancho and Saka after Euro 2020 final

10 weeks isnt much but hopefully he will lose his job and see his life ruined as well. Society should have zero tolerance of this sort of behaviour.

Why is this on a US Message Board?

I dont know where you live but here in the UK if someone stands in front of you and uses abusive language it only leads to one thing. That is provocation.

You mean the European forum ?

I do get it. Our first amendment rights are protected, and sometimes that means we have to put up with some assholes who hurl vulgar insults at good people for no reason at all.

And? Why do we care about some Brit getting arrested? European in terms of how it impacts the US is how I take it.

Back int the early 2000’s the Cubs had this right fielder by the name of Jones and fans were using racial slurs at him during home games ( no not me because I was in Texas ) and yet they were not arrested and why?

Freedom of Speech and no matter how much I might dislike the idea of idiot using such vulgar terms it is their right here in the States…

Now we both know if I were in England I would be in prison for life!

10 weeks.

Consecutive sentences would be applied to me for all my offensive nonsense, so throw away the key…

You dont have to put up with it and I suggest that it drags your country down to not have sensible restrictions. You have libel and slander laws in the states so the rights are not absolute.

Being able to racially abuse people is not an appropriate use of your freedom of expression. It is exploiting that right. The people who do so are scum.

Why do you say that Bruce ? You arent a racist to my knowledge and I dont see you abusing people on here.

 

[hjmick]

Is describing people as monkeys that important to you ?

No. Free speech is that important to me.

Personally, I find racism and the hate speech that accompanies it vile and reprehensible. That beings said, I cannot fathom living in a society that polices a person's thoughts, attempts to control a person's thoughts through incarceration, and does not defend a person's right to be a perfect asshole.

Words and thoughts are ethereal, they have no power, save the power those who hear them allow.

What Mr. Best did says more about him than it does the players. Jail time will make him a martyr among his like minded peers, a hero. Better to have left it be and let him be ostracized by those in his life that disagree.

Yeah, my country has similar laws. Needless to say, they virtually are not used on practice.

But you have restrictions on free speech in the US.. You have laws on libel and slander. Where is the difference ? Racism is easily defineable and easily provable. Its a cancer on our society.

You are the cancer. You deceive and divide.
