rob190364 2,594 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 So he got 56 days for putting racist comments on twitter, I can't quite get my head around it to be honest. Not sure what he put but it's fair enough that he shouldn't be putting racist comments on a site like that, but surely it just warrants being booted off the site, isn't a jail term a bit ridiculous??? there's far worse that goes on in the world that doesn't result in jail terms. You only have to have a quick look on youtube at some of the comments on there, there are millions of racist comments!! I don't get why he would get jailed but they don't?? wierd! It's just wierd how you could get yourself a jail term without even getting out of your armchair, just by being a bit stupid. Does anyone know what he actually put? Unless he started threatening to kill someone or something along them lines it just seems like a massive over reaction to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I agree mate, but it dont come as a shock to me. Been like that for a while and getting worse freedom of speech my arse. As for jewtube ive been boooted off that site 14times lol i just come back witj an even more offensive profile lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Some muslim kid wrote something offensive on a tribute to the 6 British soldiers that were killed recently. Think he's got the same treatment. Public pages on facebook and twitter are considered public domain so it would be the same as saying this in the street. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for jewtube ive been boooted off that site 14times lol i just come back witj an even more offensive profile lol wasn't he beered up at the time? those muslim girls that battered that white girl got away with it because the judge said they weren't used to drinking so weren't in control of what they were doing.....surely he could have spun the same load of bollocks aswell? It just seems insane that physically battering, not just assaulting, but battering someone carries a far, far less harsh term than typing something on a shite website. I know in this case they're probably using him to make an example, but the lads a university student, so basically he'll be booted from his uni and will have a criminal record, so the rest of his life has been affected just by a few comments.

I can't help but think that if he had a decent lawyer the outcome might have been different, the inconsistencies in the whole thing is just ridiculous! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well just goes to show that uni lads are also pretty thick. You need to choose your wording carefully. Out and out racist slurs are a sure way of getting you unwanted attention Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeh a criminal offence for a silly comment is nuts and surely the cops should have better things to do but 'racism' is way up on the top of the list. Funny how imbalanced the law can be, like SH says, one group actually cause harm and get off and another goes to jail for words. There is no freedom of speach and more importantly there is NO anonymity on the internet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it's because prosecuting people on youtube would be logistically impossible because of the sheer number of people that put stuff like that on? they're probably hoping to scare people into stopping by doing things like this? It'd be a good way of getting rid of the mrs for the world cup/euros etc., get on her facebook just before the tornament starts, stick up a load of racist comments, she gets banged up for a couple of months, you get down ASDA, stock up on beer and pizzas, happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well diffrent countrys have diffrent laws. Think there are now6 countrys where its illegal and they will prosecute for denying the holocaust. I guess it depends how offensive someone finds your comment. Also how feasible it would be to try for a conviction. The british police wouldnt follow up on someone who denied that cause its nit offence in the uk YET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I was accused of being a racist the other day, for pointing out that black people (All descended from Africa), and northern Europeans are different - Africans evolved from Homo Sapien, whilst northern Europeans evolved from Neanderthal. So technically we are very different. Cue, ''Oh that's a bit racist, isn't it?'' No love, it's a simple scientific and anthropological FACT, so wind your neck in. Humans are built for conflict, we still live along tribal lines (check out the rangers vs Celtic posts), and the more they deny that and force us into obedience, the bigger the implosion is going to be. Fcuking sick of it, it's like being in school and being told what to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,340 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 plastic jock,,, your incorect,,, we all developed from homo sapeins,,, but when we waked out of africa colanising europe,, and the rest of the world,,, because of the less sunlight the further north we got,,, we lost the melonin in our skin,,, the melonin is there in black folk to protect them from the sun. the neandthals died out,, or were killed off by the homo sapiens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 We are different to people of African decent http://news.discovery.com/human/genetics-neanderthal-110718.html Also Neanderthals weren't stupid grunts either they were much more highly evolved than the common use of the word makes you think. I've got a really good book somewhere about the history of the human race and it covers the migration of people from Africa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
