"Death to the X" has been commonplace rhetoric for millennia. Neither it nor anything like it ought be criminalized.
How about burning down hotels, or river-to-sea statements, though?"Death to the X" has been commonplace rhetoric for millennia. Neither it nor anything like it ought be criminalized.
... I've started this by saying "right-wingers" because that's what is occupying the streets in the UK at this time. It seems only proper and fair that the same standards be applied to the left-wingers or religious zealots who make the same calls for violence on social media or even ones who deface works of historic art or impedes the right of way of the public on highways, railroads or public facilities. The rights of a society to function peacefully and undisturbed should be paramount ...
That bit in yellow seems to be the source of frustration in a lot of different issues/protests... A government that ignores one faction over another based on cultural, religious or racial grounds is failing its own society. The solution for such a government, or its security forces is to vote them out of office, not to take to the streets.
Start 'em young, and snack on a bag of crisps or Cheetos while your at it.Just a little segue - here are a few kids - and I mean kids - in Londonderry expressing their dissatisfaction with the government.
I don't think anyone is justified in resorting to violence or promoting violence - I also don't think the current UK government has any authority to criminalize quite legitimate criticism of itself.
Specificity is important. "Death to that guy there" is specific.How about burning down hotels, or river-to-sea statements, though?
A lot depends on context and, at least from what I understand in Canada, specificity, so that's why I'm worried about blanket criminalization. too.

Couldn't agree more with everything you've said here.They aren't poor refugee families crossing into the UK fearing for their lives. They are mostly single men, aged 20-35. Islamic countries don’t have to fight wars against the west, they just need to replace the people there through mass invasion immigration. The UK of the 60s is gone. Poland seems to be the only country in Europe still able to maintain their culture and identity, you can only do that if you keep your borders secure.

Parents can't come get them, might get arrested for their own outstanding warrants.And no, you're not allowed to shoot them.
But arrest them, and have their parents come down to the police station to pick them up, and they'll usually get a good hiding before they get home
This is why God made rubber bullets.And no, you're not allowed to shoot them.
The ones that do get a visit from the IRA that night to find out why they were seen at the police station though, which is why the kids get a good kickingParents can't come get them, might get arrested for their own outstanding warrants.
