- astonex 8y agoWhile the prosecution was dumb (it was clearly a joke), he did turn out to be a huge right wing racist anyway
- dev_dull 8y agoIs it an American thing to not care if someone is a “______” when talking about their protected rights?
- jrs95 8y agoIt used to be.
- captain_oats 8y agoThe rights enshrined in our constitution are viewed as natural rights so they cannot be qualified, all people are entitled to their protection.
- GuiA 8y agoOh absolutely. For the more egregious example of it, “______” is “felon”. Not many countries fare better, to be fair.
- astonex 8y agoIm far from American however
- ummonk 8y agoHence the question.
- sexydefinesher 8y agoYes, see "Indians", "Africans" etc
- barkingtoad 8y agoWell that appears to be what your media has informed you
- astonex 8y agoI'm sure your media is far more correct than my media.
- fiblye 8y agoShould that be something to arrest someone for, though? I’ve seen his bizarre case being used by the far right as an example of why they’re correct and various conspiracies are against them. And let’s be real, being afraid of a pug to the point you arrest someone? Come on. The government caring about stuff like that is taking the Streisand effect to new levels. It’s even more bizarre when supporters of those laws condemn China. It’s the same policy, just different politics.
- barkingtoad 8y agoAfter this culture war is over, the first people in the hole will be the actual right wing racists The second people in the hole will be left wing people throwing that accusation around at any spare target. The leftist McCarthyists need to go.
- ufo 8y ago"as a joke"
- syrrim 8y agoYou think he was taking the pug to rallies?
