The one thing I will say, is that hypothetically speaking, if this was the other way around...blacks murdered a white guy and a black person was posting hate messages about whites on his tribute site [also pre-racism ban from Ron]........
We would have a mega page thread with people [present company excluded] spewing hatred for black people in general. Check thread history, that's how things roll here alot.
On topic, I agree with the principle of free speech, feel that 3 years prison is overly excessive harsh punishment and uncalled for, but all principles aside, I cannot muster up any sympathy for a guy who posted hatefilled messages on a tribute site for a teenager that was killed. I'll save my sympathy for the teenager's family
No sympathy?
I think this whole situation blows, and the guy, regardless if he is an asshole, goes through hell right now.
Three years in prison for something like that?
It's not only a personal disaster, but a huge blow to the freedom of speech in UK, and the rest of the world.
This is BS.
Whether or not the "Genuine Scouser" is a POS is not the issue. The issue at hand, is how the police and the courts, with the help of the legislators, wants to cut down on individual freedom.
