  • In the video Cenk and Ana come to the conclusion that she was arrested because of her opinion. Well she wasn't arrested because she had an off opinion she was arrested because she was expressing her opinion aggressively, I mean she was swearing and shouting at people in a public place. If she had simply been talking about it and didn't swear she could not be arrested.

  • No she has the right to say it but she doesn't have the right to shout at people in public. The public order act says you can express your opinion, whether it is racist or not, but you can't express it in an aggressive manner. If she had said "I believe you immigrants are ruining the country" that would be fine. However, she was aggressive swearing at them and insulting them based on race.

  • do you guys really say its ok for her to say these stuff.? fuck US laws man,. long live britain.

  • @AK47HELLBOY Yeah, thats why they got their asses kicked in the revolutionary war.

  • @gamasa16 This is all a wind-up surely?

  • @gamasa16 You sound like the Gestapo - "Ah, vee haf report".

    What report is that then?

  • @cockneesparrer failed

  • Comment removed

  • @gamasa16 You wrote "we dont need racist people in our great land". Since you're obviously an out-and-out racist what are YOU doing in Canada then? (If you really ARE in Canada that is).

    If Canada really wants to get rid of racists it should start by throwing YOU out.

  • @cockneesparrer how idiot you are im racsit because i dont need ur people in my canada !!!!! no idiot this is my right to protect my country from the dirt racist british ...and u suspect that im not in canada go get a life you idiot u waste my time

  • @gamasa16 You write "i dont need ur people in my canada !!!!!" You sound remarkably like Emma West (the woman in the tram video) who rants on about "my Britain". It seems you both have delusions that you personally own entire countries.

    In fact you seem to be the exact Canadian equivalent of Emma West.

    Are you by any chance related?

  • I'm not sure it's ok to spew racial hatred to someone. I believe in free speech but when free speech has the potential to incite violence then you have to have limitations on that freedom.

  • @19STU84 Well you should look at other parts of the world, like Africa were they all sing songs in large masses, how there going to chop down the white man. Perhaps you will enjoy black panther speech's. Such as calling for extermination of the White race. How about the death threatening signs that Muslim protesters hold. None of them were targeted as criminals. Then as soon as a white person wants to make really non racist statements. On a Tram shes suddenly a hater and racist& jailed

  • @HYDRAadhh What "really non-racist statements"?

  • see one can be protected but there should be limits! let her be in jail or better off she should work somewhere as community work and see immigrants helped built her country! GOD manners for humans are gone!

  • If I had been on that tram at the time I would have immediately called the Police (as several people did) not because of the woman's breach of public order (racist or otherwise) but because she had a child with her and was clearly (a) emotionally disturbed and (b) under the influence of alcohol or some other intoxicant or drug.

    The primary concern of everyone on the tram should have been the short-term safety of her child.

  • That cunt looked drunk.There is no reason for jail, just slap the cunt a few times.

  • isn't that disturbing the peace?? they act like it should be defended by the first amendment. since when do you have the right to harrass people? if that's legal then people should have the right to defend themselves and punch you in the face. can i call someone the n word and then if they punch me in the face are they legally in the wrong and i'm protected? b.s.

  • Europe.small and getting smaller,White nations controlled By by Jewish cabals, and let us not forget the Arabic influences in Freemasonry Shriners Arabic noble order Moorish American culture is ripening. White population decreasing, Non whites in every white nation growing, Whites converting to Islam, Whites mostly girls mixing with blacks, 7%Whites93%NonWhites Worldpop2012 .2%Whites93%NonWhites2050Now this dose not look good for White children enteringthefuture.NowwhatIhave­justdoneisnotRacist.

  • @HYDRAadhh Pretend you know what you're talking about when really you're ignorant as fuck and have no clue what's going on past the delusions of your own racism and stupidity.

  • @BruceFnLee Stop pissing in your mouth, and blowing your nose with toilet paper you just used with shit on it. When your done repeatedly running into a wall, Why don't you shove a vacuum up your ass. I have more respect for the mosquito's and fly's. You fucking pansy. All you political correct types in a giant vaporizer would that do it for me? ''Probably''. My effort here is far more creative inventive important and idealistic then any thing you can conjure up fucking prickled tit.

  • @HYDRAadhh The truth is you cant fuck with nature. It is Natural in the best interest for the whites to survive. This is Logical and true. Also it is true that emotions such as hate are natural. Can it be seen mostly in the black race against the whites. I can see it.

  • @HYDRAadhh Anyone with half a brain that reads what you type can see you're an idiot.

  • @HYDRAadhh yes it is, you're saying whites are the best. Who are you trying to kid? Yourself?

  • Well, yes, she SHOULD have the right to spout her racist ignorance...BUUUUUT, she should also get ONE good left to her mouth without the donor having to pay an exorbitant fine, take anger management classes, pay for a printed apology, have a felony on his/her record, all that nonsense. Just one good shot for one rant...that's parity...that's justice.

  • you guys are all so dumb. What she was saying is so fucked up, but she should not be arrested for it. If they could arrest her for saying something like that, they could arrest you for saying what you think, about the goverment.

  • @dashbyan How does that follow? How could the laws in question be used to arrest someone "for saying what they think about the government"?

    It's you who is being dumb.

  • If she did this in Canada, she would also be arrested.

    shame on her.

  • I feel sorry for the kid.. ..

  • If you went up to a police officer in America and called him a "stupid c*nt" - you can be pretty sure the 1st amendment would not save your ass from being arrested!

  • Es lo mismo en España. Culpan a los inmigrantes por la SUPUESTA CRISIS. Supuesta porque su ¨CRISIS¨ significa que en lugar de tener tres departamentos solo pueden comprar dos... en lugar de irse de vacaciones a Hawai se tienen que conformar con un hotel cinco estrellas en Francia. En lugar de tener un auto por cada miembro de la familia, tienen que compartir dos autos entre padres e hijos.... ESO ES LA CRISIS EN EUROPA...

  • OK IDIOT... why not we just let grow the new HITLER!! asshole!!!!!

  • Instead of still bickering over this shit we should all just listen to the best band in the world. Pink Floyd!

  • So this is freedom of speech?? OK - so what happens if she takes the same route every day and decides to express her right to free speech every time? I think we might have a riot on our hands? Soooo - given that - where do we go from there???

  • freedom of speech? since your american (turks) try to say that infront of barack obama!

  • The biggest victim would be the little kid. Feel sorry for the kid.

  • Wouldn't arrest her huh! Your loose laws is what has caused your whole economy to collapse. Your "free" market has allowed the bourgeois to fuck over the system and now has everyone on their knees. Obviously she is not going to be sent away for a lengthy jail sentence but she won't be eager to carelessly throw her words around in public again. America has lots of great aspects to its structuring but there is sometimes just toooo much freedom of speech.

  • UK law is retarded, politically correct retarded

  • was that piece of shit sitting behind her gonna hit her? Any man who hits a woman with a baby or even hits a woman deserves to get the shit beaten out of him

  • @somotastic21 No, he obviously WASN'T going to hit her, although obviously he was seriously provoked. He is clearly a gentleman.

  • @cockneesparrer He had sense enough to not go through on hitting her I'll give him that, but a gentleman? He made the motion like he was going to hit her. Sorry but no real man hits or even makes the motion to hit a woman

  • Comment removed

  • @cockneesparrer The tragic thing is EVERYTHING Emma West said is totally TRUE! Furthermore, that vile greasy diseased primitive nigger bitch standing looks like she has just arrived illegally from some third world jungle together with that violent looking ape animal nigger dealing drugs behind her– hopefully the authorities will investigate these illegal immigrants that swarm like flies around shit and DEPORT ALL THE IMMIGRANTS BACK TO THE INFESTED CESSPITS THEY CAME FROM!

  • @gxocgxoc

    If you were born in one of those cesspit countries ravaged by islam, wouldnt you leave too?

    People have different color skin, eyes, hair, have different weights, heights, shapes, and features.

    Why pick skin color? What matters is whats in their brain, not the wrapping.

  • @berenjervin The fact that consecutive Governments have helped to swamp our country with toxic third world immigrants (many simply parasites breeding like vermin who are often diseased and illegal) is disgraceful. There should be an immediate halt to ALL immigration and ALL those who are here illegally should be removed back to their country of origin as a matter of utmost urgency. We have enough of our own problems, without importing more filth. WE NEED TO PUT OUR OWN PEOPLE FIRST.

  • @gxocgxoc

    Well, the west has an unsolvable demographics problem. Birth rates are too low to sustain our culture, AND with the baby boomers, we need immigration to pay for retired people.

    I hear you about toxic immigration. But its just not the color of their skin that makes them toxic. Its the ideology they believe in, refuse to leave behind, and insist we believe it too, backed by terrorism.

  • @gxocgxoc

    Rather than just blanket deport anyone with the wrong color of skin, be smarter about it.

    Allow immigration of people willing to integrate into our societies, and toss the rest back.

    Its all about whats in their head, not their skin, is all I'm saying.

  • It is quite amazing that the "Young Turks" think that the racist rant would be protected speech under the First Amendment.

  • @2:38 yes not buying the public order offence i.e. disturbing the social efficiency, but TYT must agree with racially aggravated harassment , i mean the existence of this law would solve a lot of problems .

  • To me, Freedom of Speech is power, power requires responsibility. You defend people saying whatever they want to say without considering what is being said as an automatic defence of Liberty – you’re defending not the power of Free Speech but the idea of what it symbolises.

  • This is the whole problem with the ‘Free Speech’ argument. There is a massive difference between freedom to say what is needed to be said – and what you think you want to say. As far as I’m concerned, the woman was saying offensive remarks and the Rights of the other passengers were affected. Any Rights she was perceived to have, were automatically lost as soon as she demonstrated she couldn’t use those Rights ‘correctly’.

  • JESTEM Z POLSKI SUKO !

  • WHITE POWER WORLD WIDE she just fucking says what 99 percent of us think and don`t have the balls to say..........SAVE BRITAIN cause monkeys are here, and there will be a fucking civil war and a bloody one, a fucking bloody one, niggers don't come to poland cause we will be waiting for you........with knifes

  • @luxyeah so what effect does people of a different colour living in the same country as you have on your life ?

  • @luxyeah You are a very sick, sad moron.

  • Its actually very simple: dont argue w drunks or the mentally ill. Theyre not capable of reasoning things out. And swearing is nothing new. Be a little more tolerant.

  • @helenread112 "Swearing is nothing new". Well, I've travelled on public transport in London almost daily for more than thirty years and I have never once heard the "f" word used (or the "n" word for that matter).

  • The terms Black and White are just status terms, which should never be used.

    The fact is All Landmass belong to/settled by original people. Original people, which were Melanin Rich.

    Learn Your TRUE HISTORY.

    England's original name was Albion. Why do you think that was??? Look up: Albinos-The Origin of the Caucasian Race

    Books: The Invention of the White Race, The Iceman Inheritance, They Came Before Columbus, and many many more...

    This Planet could not exist without Melanin.

  • It was quite unfortunate, but just wait until Whites wake up to bullshit from people such as yourselves, assholes.

    Would it be unfortunate for Turkish people to rebel against mass immigration? I think so.

    We can make all manner of lies up about how turks are related to Chinese and Africans too.

    Time's coming.

  • fuck da yanks... fuck this vid

  • These people have no clue. Last time I checked th US needed a Civil Rights Act just so people could sit on a bus. Americans are the LAST to talk about race inequalities from the position of the good.

  • @MidasTouch68 There's a persistent misunderstanding in what you say.

    Emma West DOES have freedom of speech. However, she ISN'T free to harass and abuse people in a public place.

    The same applies in the United States - anywhere in the United States.

    What she was saying on the tram is NOT (in the circumstances in question) speech protected under the First Amendment.

    See Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942).

  • I feel the same in Australia. Whenever a violent or abusive crime is reported in the media they say an Australian man or woman, when 90 percent of the time it is a sudanese or asian refugee who has forgotten we have a completely different culture and generally tolerant society where most people have equal rights.

  • @LostLogos

    I could have sworn ALL Australians are immigrants. I very much doubt Aborigines feel the same way.

  • @LostLogos What kinds of crime are not abusive?

  • saying racist shit is "the freedom of speech"? fuck you!

  • "I dont know why she was arrested?" .. okay you stupid Turks.. here.. Verbal assault, Racial profiling and racism, Offensive language.. and alll this in front of her lil kid.. she should have that kid taken away.. hopefully they have done that already.. !!

    Your welcome.. See.. I like your show.. but sometimes you seem to lose common sense and logic.. feedom of speech does NOT give you right to do and act like she did.. especially while holding your lil kid.. she got what she deserved.

  • @NeoQuello Good comment.

  • @NeoQuello

    Verbal assault? Really? Where do you draw the line? Is anything offensive now illegal?

    Racial profiling? Erm, you clearly dont understand what this is.

    Racism? Maybe, but racism is not illegal. Discrimination based on racism is.

    And you would take her kids away? Holy crap, Canada is in deep deep trouble if your level of overreaction is common there

    I'm not agreeing with her rant, just saying arresting or taking people's kids away because she offended someone is ludicrous

  • Comment removed

  • @cockneesparrer

    OK, sure. But the outrage in this thread is reaching the point of being racist against Caucasians. I'm seeing demands she be jailed, publicly flogged, have her children taken away, etc.

    Seriously? You guys need to grow thicker skin. Or start building more jails for everytime someone hurts your feelings. Perhaps the middle east will take the children put up for adoption?

  • @cockneesparrer

    Here is racism in the UK. Its a racially motivated gang assault against a women.

    watch?v=B0Lz1Z60i-k

    Apparently, this doesnt generate any media attention. Yet as soon as its a Caucasian going on a rant, people want jail time, taking children away, and even public flogging.

    Funny how I dont see any posts from you on that clip. Not a one.

    Why is that?

  • @berenjervin In fact I've made many comments on that case. Why do you assume that the assault was racially motivated?

  • @cockneesparrer

    Because the victim, Rhea Page, described the attack. Apparently you dont consider screaming "White bitch" at someone while kicking them in the head a racist attack?

    Go read the news reports. And there isnt one post from you on the clip I posted. If there is some other clip you commented on, feel free to post a link.

  • @berenjervin It was never established that the assailants DID scream "white bitch".

    If there had been any real evidence that they had done so they would have been prosecuted for, and almost certainly convicted of, racially-aggravated assault.

  • @cockneesparrer

    My point, since I know you are going to get bend outta shape here, is that insulting someone isnt the end of the world, and tossing them in jail and taking their children away because you think they arent "fit and proper" is absurd.

    I've shown you a case which is CLEARLY a racist gang attack that resulted in no jail time.

    And you are disputing it was even racist? Now there is a double standard :)

  • @berenjervin The court decided that the evidence did not support it's being a racially-motivated assault. You know better do you? Perhaps you were there?

  • @cockneesparrer

    Oh, so if West had of kicked the person she was ranting at in the head a few times, to get to about the same situation, it wouldnt be racism?

    Thanks for sharing.

  • @berenjervin How, if she were to do that, would that make it not "racism"?

  • @cockneesparrer

    No, that would make it equivalent to a case where you disputed it was even racially motivated.

    The 2 essential differences here are the races involved, and the physical assault.

    If you say the physical assault is not relevant, then the only alternative is you see no problem with this behaviour, unless its a cauc doing it.

    And dont blame me, you labelled yourself. I'm just not going to point out the obvious.

We have enough of our own problems, without importing more disgusting filth. WE NEED TO PUT OUR OWN PEOPLE FIRST

  • @berenjervin "You guys need to grow thicker skin".

    I'm not sure whom you mean by "you guys" - but do you seriously believe that innocent people should have to endure being repeatedly insulted/abused while travelling on mass transit?

    WHY should anyone have to put up with such harassment and abuse?

    How would it benefit society for people to be more tolerant of such disgusting anti-social behaviour?

  • @cockneesparrer

    I meant the people saying she should be tossed in jail and her kids taken away.

    It was a collective comment and not directed specifically at you. (At least that was my intent).

    And no, I dont believe this.

    No one knows what happened before the camera was turned on to set her off, so its POSSIBLE her response was justified.

  • @berenjervin I think that by now many people know what (if anything) happened "to set her off".

    Her lawyers apparently are not claiming that she was provoked in any way.

    How could her "response" (even if it WAS a response to something that happened on the tram) possibly have been "justified"?

  • @cockneesparrer

    I personally dont know what set her off. Lawyers not claiming it doesnt mean something never set her off. I can think of a lot of reasons why cussing someone out like that would be justified. I'm not saying her rant was justified...I wasnt there.

    In the grand scheme of things, her rant isnt that big of a deal. People get assaulted, mugged, raped, murdered, and wars happen, and even genocide. This shouldnt even be news.

  • @berenjervin Well, you're right about ONE thing, which is that you "personally don't know what set her off" - and yes (so TWO things), that you weren't there.

    One can be pretty damn certain that if she had been provoked in the slightest way by anyone on that tram her defence would be intending to make the fullest use of that fact.

    Where do you get the arrogance to dismiss what she inflicted on her fellow-passengers as not "that big of a deal"?

  • @cockneesparrer

    RIght, I wasnt there. And neither were you.

    >Where do you get the arrogance

    Its not arrogance. Its my opinion. And it ISNT that big of a deal, compared to what happens in societies on a daily basis.

    If you want to talk about arrogance, ponder the fact that you are talking about taking someone's liberty and children away over insults. Thats not even an eye for an eye justice - thats destroying someone's life over insults.

    Now THATs arrogance.

  • @cockneesparrer The tragic thing is EVERYTHING Emma West said is totally TRUE! Furthermore, that vile greasy diseased primitive nigger bitch standing looks like she has just arrived illegally from some third world jungle together with that violent looking ape animal nigger dealing drugs behind her– hopefully the authorities will investigate these illegal immigrants that swarm like flies around shit and DEPORT ALL THE IMMIGRANTS BACK TO THE INFESTED CESSPITS THEY CAME FROM!

  • @cockneesparrer

    But lets assume it wasnt. Her tirade was uncalled for, and the response from the people around her should have been to tell her to shut her mouth and stop being a c**t.

    Life happens and you met assholes (like her). Doesnt mean she should be tossed in jail or have her kid taken away. If I had of been there, I would have talked to her and taken the focus of her attention. She can rant at me all she wants, and I'd just laugh at her.

    Stop being over sensitive.

  • @cockneesparrer

    No where am I saying people should be tolerant. What I AM saying is life happens. And in life, you will meet assholes. Learn to cope, and speak up for yourself.

    Tossing them in jail or taking their kids away because someone makes an idiot of themselves is an absolutely over the top reaction.

    No offence, but it REMINDS me of children running to mommy over being teased. Grow a thicker skin :).

  • @berenjervin You wrote "it reminds me of children running to mommy over being teased".

    TEASED? Do you think what the passengers on that tram were subjected to on that tram was no more than being teased?

    Are you autistic?

  • @cockneesparrer

    All caps on the word REMINDS wasnt enough? Seriously, the behavior is the same - feelings got hurt, and someone is running to the nearest authority figure.

    Sorry, but if you support tossing someone in jail and taking their kids away because they hurt someones feelings, you are still a juvenile.

    And, you are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

    Maybe she should be stretched out on a rack for a few days? That'll learn her not to hurt someone's feelings.

  • Comment removed

  • @cockneesparrer

    Ahh right - she went on a rant and hurt someone's feelings.

    In retaliation, you need a way to justify destroying her life. So obviously you trot out the "present mental condition" argument.

    >merely because she "hurt someone's feelings".

    Again, here is racism from the other perspective, yet I dont see you posting there.

    watch?v=B0Lz1Z60i-k

    Since people were actually beaten down here, what should be the punishment for that?

  • @cockneesparrer

    >to be not a fit and proper person

    Ahh right, someone goes on a rant, so they are "not a fit and proper person" to look after her kids.

    Meanwhile, people committing REAL assaults, thefts, mugging, and drug addicts dont lose their kids.

    Why is that?

  • @berenjervin You should pay attention to what people actually say. I made a point of writing that if Croydon Social Services keep West's children in care it will not be "merely" because she "went on a rant" or "hurt someone's feelings".

  • @cockneesparrer

    Well, lets look at what you actually said in this thread.

    You stated to somotastic21 that if the child would not have been there, and someone hit West, it would be ok, and in your opinion, a court would rule accordingly.

    So apparently, you believe assault is justified if someone insults you?

    You told me flat out that insulting people in public is a crime in ANY country based on English common law. And its not, no matter how much you believe it is.

  • @cockneesparrer

    You characterized her behavior as >Harassing, abusing and insulting innocent

    And this is not the case. Its not harrassment, since its not a repetetive event. Its not (physically) abusive, but is (probably) highly insulting. In short, youre attempting to trump up the seriousness of what she did

    I pointed out that such a disproportionate response to the actual offense could be considered racist, and you immediately told me I need psychiatric treatment for paranoia

  • @cockneesparrer

    Finally, I showed you case that was a racist assault against a white person, and there was no mass media hysteria, and no jail time - just a warning.

    And your response was to dispute it was racist? (Psst, kicking a stranger in the head while screaming "White bitch" is a racially motivated assault).

  • @cockneesparrer

    So, you have tried to trump up the seriousness of a verbal racist rant against someone, while trying to suggest that assaulting them in response would be legal and reasonable. And at the same time disputing that an obvious racial assault that left someone bleeding, black and blue was even racist.

    That at least raises the suspicion of you being racist in my mind.

    Perhaps you need to be locked up and your children taken away?

  • @berenjervin It isn't MY judgement that the assault was NOT racially-motivated. It was the decision of the court, after hearing all the available evidence. But you (down there on Christmas Island is it?) evidently think you know better than the court.

  • @cockneesparrer

    Dont assume just because I put xmas Island on my profile, thats where I actually am.

    ok fine - the court ruled it wasnt racially motivated. Thats not my essential point. My point was and still is, that despite West being an offensive asshole, the demands you seem to be supporting out of of whack.

    Why no outrage over "just a warning" over physical assault, when a verbal rant justifies assaulting West in your mind? And jail, and taking kids away.

  • @cockneesparrer

    Dont assume just because I put xmas Island on my profile, thats where I actually am.

    ok fine - the court ruled it wasnt racially motivated. Thats not my essential point. My point was and still is, that despite West being an offensive asshole, the demands you seem to be supporting out of of whack.

    Why no outrage over "just a warning" over physical assault, when a verbal rant justifies assaulting West in your mind? And jail, and taking kids away.

  • @berenjervin "Just a warning"? I have to ask, once again, are you joking?

  • @cockneesparrer

    No I'm not. The result of the case involving the physical assault was a warning only. No jail. Kids not taken away. No public outrage, etc.

    Hey, you claimed you spoke up a lot on that case too, yet you dont know the outcome? Why is that?

    How can you keep a straight face while demanding a MUCH stronger sentence for a lesser crime? Or perhaps you believe its a worse crime?

  • @berenjervin YOU are the one who doesn't seem to know the outcome of the case. You write "The result of the case involving the physical assault was a warning only".

    Where do you get your information?

  • @cockneesparrer

    Go read the media reports. Man, for someone who claims to have commented a lot on that case, you sure dont seem to know much about it.

    I think you have pretty much convinced me you are a racist.

  • @berenjervin None of the reports I've come across say that the assailants in the Rhea Page case received only a warning. What is your source for this claim?

  • @cockneesparrer

    The video footage I posted showing the actual assault (from a camera) contains several links to news stories on the assault and sentencing.

    Can you show me a post discussing this case and its sentencing that says otherwise?

    I take back my racist claim on the grounds that you dont appear to actually know what the result of this case was - DESPITE what you previously claimed (that you were well aware of this case).

  • @berenjervin WHERE does it say that the outcome was only "a warning"?

  • @cockneesparrer

    I told you where. Go read it. I'm not going to spoon feed you, sorry.

  • @berenjervin You need to stop squirming and wriggling around, and either -

    a) cite and/or quote (preferably both cite and quote) a single media source which states that the assailants in the Rhea Page case received ONLY a warning, or

    b) admit that you have NO such source.

  • @berenjervin WHERE?

  • @cockneesparrer

    This is not about trial...this is about what people are demanding. You yourself claimed it would be reasonable for someone to have physically assaulted her over what she said.

    I tried to show you how unreasonable you are with a worse attack (with races reversed), and you instantly flipped stances, denying it was a racial attack, completely missing the entire point.

    The only conclusion is you are a racist.

  • @berenjervin An important question here is why you insist that the Rhea Page incident was a racially-motivated attack when the evidence does not support this.

  • @cockneesparrer

    There is evidence to support this, and its quoted in news articles. But its not required to make my point.

    Case 1 - victim physically attacked by 4 people and left bleeding and battered.

    Result - a warning because they were not used to drinking alcohol (muslims).

    Case 2 - a racist verbal rant, and you believe courts would excuse a physical assault as a response, and dont see a problem with jail/taking kids away.

    You are overreacting in the EXTREME.

  • @berenjervin And when did I say that "assaulting them in response would be legal and reasonable"?

  • @cockneesparrer

    I told you who you said it to, and I even quoted your own words. Its still on this page, unless you choose to go remove it.

  • @berenjervin Croydon Social Services will have been under a statutory obligation to take the child into care, not because of the mother's infamous rant, but primarily because:

    1) the mother was drunk in charge of a child in a public place (which if so is IN ITSELF an offence for which she could - and SHOULD - have been arrested), OR -

    2) the mother was under the influence of an intoxicant or drug during the incident and not in a fit state to be in charge of the child, and -

    These are not the points you argued previously. They may or may not be true, I dont care.

    Let me quote your own words.

    >If the child had not been there and someone HAD hit West, such an action would have been highly excusable given her vile behaviour and any British court would rule accordingly.

    No where did you say "for being drunk" etc.

  • @cockneesparrer

    And I'll say it again. I showed you a case that was a racially motivated assault, that resulted in only a warning. Either way, it was ASSAULT with a warning. Forget about the racial part if you dont want to believe it.

    So in your mind, its ok that the penalty for assault is a warning.

    But a racial rant justifies assaulting the person in your mind, and jail time/taking the kid away?

    And thats my point - you are WAY over the top in how serious you think this is.

  • @cockneesparrer

    And I'm going to take it one step farther. You claimed you have made all kinds of comments on that assault I posted. I'm going to ask you to show me :)

  • @cockneesparrer

    Finally you stated that if her children are taken away (you said likely) its because she is not a "fit and proper person" to look after them.

    Basically you are implying she is not a fit mother because she went on a rant. And that is absurd. There are prostitutes, drug addicts, thieves, and on and on that are mothers, and no one is suggesting those kids be taken away.

    This just isnt a mountain. Its a mole hill.

  • @berenjervin You wrote "There are prostitutes, drug addicts, thieves, and on and on that are mothers, and no one is suggesting those kids be taken away."

    Really? At least in Britain very many people (and organisations) advocate taking children away from such parents - and very often the children of such parents ARE taken away, either permanently or for as long as necessary in the circumstances.

  • @cockneesparrer

    I'm not talking about advocacy groups, I'm talking about law. But since there NEEDS to be advocacy groups, I think thats pretty much saying there is no such law.

    Anyways - we are talking about opinions, and you are welcome to yours. I'm made my points, and if you refuse to see/understand them, thats your prerogative.

    Good luck on your crusade to assault/jail those that offend you.

  • @berenjervin It seems that you really DO equate what Emma West was doing on the tram with someone's being teased.

  • @cockneesparrer

    No, I equate YOUR reaction (and other's) to that of a child being teased. You run to an authority figure (like mommy or the police) and demand obscene punishments.

    Nice try at trying to spin what I said.

    I've showed you an example of racism involving physical assault working the other way around. Why arent you there demanding the same things? Jail time, taking their children away, and perhaps even public flogging?

    Why?

  • @berenjervin Since West is NOT teasing her fellow-passengers but (racially) harassing and abusing them your ridiculous comparison doesn't work.

  • @cockneesparrer One reason why many people have taken the trouble to comment unfavourably on West's behaviour but have not commented on the Rhea Page case is that noone (apart from their legal team of course) has defended the behaviour of the girls who assaulted Rhea Page.

    By contrast the neo-Nazis and other racist lunatics have enthusiastically supported West's behaviour, and continue to do so.

  • @cockneesparrer

    Yes the comparison DOES work. I'm not comparing HER behavior, but yours, and many of the others asking for jail, taking kids away, etc.

    Its the same type of behavior. Something said hurt your feelings, now you want revenge by going to an authority figure and demanding it.

    I'm sorry if you feel the need to pretend I'm trying to say something else.
