But cheers for the thought. | | | | | You don't accept hate speech and racism only when it targets your friends. Otherwise it's OK, you might even enjoy some "innocent" ramblings or "deserved criticism" when some other groups that you don't like are under the spot. And not only you, all of those here who pretend are against racism and hate speech. Some even openly admit it.
Exactly like that cute comedian Trevor Noah who thought it's funny to ridicule a bit the aborigine women...."But but....they're kind of ugly, aren't they?"
It's OK. My impression is that KK goes too far to provoke you*, a thing which is generally accepted here. EF is not some friendly and safe space for all of us, just for a selected few. If you ask for double standards, I'm afraid I will never be in agreement with you.
*the length some people would go to defend their ideas, or friends, or ego. Same old, same old.
If you really are that kind as a person, you don't ask for recognition or a cult around you. You don't go the extra miles to humiliate your opponents. Those who can see it, will see it.

But when the shoe is on the other foot and if someone a bit less worthy in your eyes is being demonised you don't really care about being tolerant.
It's like that time you had no problem telling me I should "go back to Australia" and then admitted that you wouldn't be willing to tell an African man to "go back to Africa"
Double standards and all that.

If there is no witness or the crime did not involve violence i.e. robbery with threats. Then its a waste of resources and manpower to solve. Someone stole your wheelbarrow from your garden for example, then its kind of tough shit, but there is not enough money or officers to scour the neighbourhood asking questions so the time is better spent tracking down serious criminals.
Its only going to get worse post Brexit as there'll less job opportunties and money and probably lots of unemployed Bankers and wealth management specialists turning to crime to support their coke habits.

Nothing you quote suggests he is prone to violence at all.
I am sure you feel police resources could be used better in some situations. For example in my native Scotland, huge resources are poured into tracking down people who sing objectionable songs. I feel that is a huge waste of resources - let the scumbags who do it get on with it, and we'll be able to identify and avoid them ourselves.

The data to support such "broken windows" policing is pretty clear.

Rapidly growing Twitter campaign in Germany of migrants reporting everyday examples of racism and discrimination here.
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas praised the campaign, saying it was "impressive and painful" to see how many stories were flooding in.

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) Head of SPD says its a "big mistake" for the Greens to oppose designating more countries as safe to allow faster deportations : | Quote: |  | | | Nahles added that it's a "big mistake" for the Greens to oppose designating more countries as safe countries of origin, which makes it easier to deport asylum-seekers whose applications have been rejected.
"Look at Georgia, where a new form of gang crime is developing. You can't close your eyes and ears and pretend it's about civil war refugees," she told the paper. | | | | | The Georgia one is fun... | Quote: |  | | | The view among some authorities that an increase in asylum applications could lead to a spike in crime is another part of the equation. "People from Georgia come here, apply for asylum and then use the time they have to wait for a reply to, firstly, receive financial assistance, and secondly, to break into apartments and houses," said former Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere when speaking with DW in March. | | | | | Well well... asylum policy abused...no sh1t

Since you're such a massive anti-racist where were you on the Klingon thread - you know the lad who was asking if his teacher might be a bit racist but turned out to be a total racist himself ??
