That's Offensive!

Tough!

Currently, in the United Kingdom, you can be arrested for saying or doing something that “offends” someone else. Ponder that statement for a minute. In the nation that gave us the Magna Carta, which was the legal basis for English Common Law and our own Constitution and Bill of Rights, insulting someone is against the law!

As Katie Hopkins says, that’s “Batshit Bonkers!” That language may offend some of you, but, at least for now, I can’t be arrested for saying it. How long will that last? In California and some other Democrat controled states and cities, there are laws or ordinances on the books that effectively gut the First Amendment right to free speech. We must remember that we are supposed to be allowed to say things that offend others without fear of prosecution for doing so

Obviously, the First Amendment does not protect us from being sued for libel, but it does prevent us from being harassed by a government bureaucrat, or at least it should. Unfortunately, some individuals can’t be given even a small amount of power over others without abusing it. We’ve all seen examples of that behavior. Sometimes it’s by a TSA agent at the airport or an employee at the DMV. In the worst circumstance, it’s in dealing with a member of law enforcement. Thankfully, that’s very rare, but it does happen.

A recent example of that was when a young man in England was involved in a confrontation with two Sikh brothers. That country has very strict laws about carrying knives with blades longer than 3 inches for folding knives, or even shorter if the blade is fixed. An exemption is granted to Sikhs, who are allowed to wear Sikh kirpans as part of their religion. A kirpan (shown above) has a fixed blade that is razor sharp and frequently 7 inches in length or longer.

In the confrontational scuffle that ensued, 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa stabbed 18-year-old Henry Novak multiple times in the neck and chest with his 8-inch kirpan. When the police arrived, the Digwa brothers claimed that Novak had verbally attacked them with racial slurs. Instead of helping him, the police ignored his statement that he had been stabbed, handcuffed Novak, and read him his rights as he bled to death from his internal wounds. The word of a “person of color” counts more than that of a white kid in England these days, I guess.

We are in a similar situation here in this country in Democrat controlled enclaves. We are denied our Second Amendment rights to defend ourselves, while violent multiple offenders are allowed back on the streets to offend again. Far too many of them are minorities, mainly blacks, who are less than 14 percent of the total population, but commit more than 50 percent of the violent crimes. If that statement offends you, I’m sorry, but it is backed up by statistical data.

Many countries in Europe are gradually descending into a state of chaos due to unlimited third-world immigration and laws placing immigrants’ (legal and Illegal) rights above those of the indigenous population. That nasty scenario is coming here unless we stop it, and NOW! If that concept is offensive to you, tough. It’s the ugly truth.
