When PC Becomes DangerousScotland’s police are on a mission to stamp out offensive speech by force.
It is Scotland now, but will it one day land on our shores?
Police Scotland and a FOIA request made at the request of the highly respected UK paper The Independent, revealed that police are looking into “offensive” comments online with the express purpose of finding possible criminality.
The police, at the behest of the politically correct crowd, are on a fishing expedition to shut down free speech they don’t like.
The Brits already have Draconian limits to their free speech. Proselytizing on the streets and almost any comment against a Muslim could get you thrown in jail. They don’t have a First Amendment.
We should get down on our knees and thank God that the Founding Fathers included the first ten amendments to the Constitution known as our Bill of Rights.
About 20,000 people in Britain were investigated over the past three years for making insulting comments online; 20 people a day were looked into by law enforcement for criminality, according to a Freedom of Information Act request by The Independent.
Police Scotland’s response to The Independent was, “Please be aware that we will continue to monitor comments on social media and any offensive comments will be investigated.”
Currently, the police in Scotland are investigating a former Apprentice star who stirs up controversy to gain attention on Twitter. Katie Hopkins recently made off-color comments online about a Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola.
She is being investigated for “racist Ebola” tweets with an eye towards arresting her. She chastised the “little sweaty jocks” for “sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians”.
She has also been reported to the police for “hate crimes” against overweight people after making rude remarks about the overweight.
She has almost 300,000 Twitter followers who want to read her outlandish comments because they hate them or love them. She is paid to troll.
A petition from Scotland’s PC crowd demanded her comments be investigated for criminality as “vile, racist tweets.” The police have enthusiastically taken up the cause.
Detective Inspector Glyn Roberts of Police Scotland put it this way: “Inquiries are ongoing into the nature of these tweets and to establish any potential criminality.”
“Police Scotland will thoroughly investigate any reports of offensive or criminal behavior online and anyone found to be responsible will be robustly dealt with.”
The PC crowd has law enforcement on their side and their goal is to silence “offensive” opinions by force. Idiocy could put a person in jail.
Who will decide who is offensive? The PC crowd will decide.
The police have no business investigating annoying comments but they are.
It’s Shariah law for Westerners.
