I worked with your son while at 2PPCLI.
I respect your words. I do not think that we should play into this persons ideas because it empowers his thoughts. I do not agree with his words, but I cannot disrespect his rights to speak them.
Re: the bit in yellow, if you'd read Interpol's "Wanted" poster, it says this: "Categories of Offences: CRIMES AGAINST LIFE AND HEALTH, ORGANIZED CRIME /TRANSNATIONAL CRIME Arrest Warrant Issued by: CITY OF MISSISSAUGA, SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE, CENTRAL WEST REGION OF THE PROVI / Canada". And I guess you missed this bit too in the latest media report: "The resurrection of a website advocating the genocide of Jews and Canadians, founded by a Toronto extremist who is wanted by police, highlights the difficulties of policing the Internet, where public postings can be generated and disseminated from almost anywhere." He may have been cleared before, but if that's the case, he should have nothing to worry about speaking to police now since they appear to have more questions, right?EMEGUY421 said:I am not advocating that he is right, or that people who oppose him are right, but the laws state that every person be afforded freedom of speech, and if the words are illegal then the person is subject to the penalty of law. He was investigated and no laws were broken, or he would have been detained form the beginning.
I guess you missed a bit of INFORMATION in not reading at least the last half-dozen posts, eh?EMEGUY421 said:I didn't read the whole thread, 9 pages of rants and rage would sour my day.

Also, I guess that if this chap and his web page/forum posts were to incite/condone/encourage doing harm to, say, "Land based weapons doctors", or their families, you'd still be comfortable with his "freedom of speech"? If you are, you're a bigger man than I am.
I hear what you say about keeping criticism in perspective, but this goes beyond criticizing the status quo - headlines like "Learning How To Identify Jews During Roundup Time!" or "The Destruction of the West is the Only Way to Exterminate the Jews!" strike me as WAY over the "civilized and reasonable debate and dissent" line.
In most cases, hate propaganda communicated through the Internet is an offence under the Criminal Code. Amendments to the Code, made under the Anti-Terrorism Act in December 2001, further clarify measures and offences regarding Internet hate crimes.

It was the "police responsibility" when you chose to 'contribute' to this thread by saying it's "his right" to foment that sort of hatred, and got called on your BS.EMEGUY421 said:Then he is the police's responsibility now, and not for us to debate anymore...
