Just another liberal paradise.They need subtitles. Sounded like a Python skit. The crime apparently was there were witnesses who heard him saying “Why do we allowed other countries flags flying on our streets.” Arrested for that. WTF?
LOL. Clearly you have not been following politics over there.Just another liberal paradise.
Clearly you haven’t. The removal of free speech? C’mon…LOL. Clearly you have not been following politics over there.
Free speech has its responsibilities Jim. Today, more and more folks are removing their filters...that is not “free speech” but that is anarchy or hate speech. Years ago a famous SC Justice said you do have free speech but “free speech protection” does not protect those who choose to yell “Fire!” Into a crowded theater.Clearly you haven’t. The removal of free speech? C’mon…
But what if there is a fire?Free speech has its responsibilities Jim. Today, more and more folks are removing their filters...that is not “free speech” but that is anarchy or hate speech.

If the shoe fits, wear it
Does anyone know what the man did to express his disapproval? That obviously matters.
Can't be the whole story...I'm not believing this on its face.
A question came to mind though, and I had to Google it. Does the UK have free speech? The answer is NO, or 'yeah kinda but...'. They have "freedom of expression" but that is subject to many things that are subject to interpretation and can be punishable by law. It's not as free as our speech.
Now...when it comes down to it, if I'm choosing a group to protect here, I'm leaving someone alone who says 'we should only fly UK flags here,' and I'm detaining and questioning anyone who is flying a Palestinian flag as terror sympathizers/potential terrorists.

Define "hate speech."I think they don't allow blatant hate speech but that's about it. I don't think disapproving of Palestinian flags would qualify as blatant hate speech.
It is well defined and codified.Define "hate speech."
Define "hate speech."
Federal and state laws...It ain't. Also: Where?
I thought maybe we whipped their ass for a third time.
He asked why foreign flags were allowed to be flying on public poles on the city streets. And he was “witnessed asking that”? The cops says that right at the beginning.Does anyone know what the man did to express his disapproval? That obviously matters.
Go on record then. You’re totally fine with a person being arrested for being witnessed asking why foreign flags were allowed to be flying on public poles on the city streets. Because according to the cop that’s what he did and why he’s being arrested.Free speech has its responsibilities Jim.

Take it easy on him. He's an ELL.He asked why foreign flags were allowed to be flying on public poles on the city streets. And he was “witnessed asking that”? The cops says that right at the beginning.

And you’re equating that to yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre. Lol
Nope. This is the internet. You're supposed to be outraged without any context.Does anyone know what the man did to express his disapproval? That obviously matters.
