Should this case have gone this far in the first place?

It's not illegal to sell guns.
It's not illegal to sell golliwogs.
It's illegal to point a gun at someone 'with intent'.
It's illegal to point a golliwog at someone 'with intent'.

^^ those questions

[joeluke]

'It's illegal to point a golliwog at someone 'with intent'.'

to........?

[sara3]

racial harassment is a hate crime.

[jackthehat]

.....behave in an insulting and provocative manner, I imagine.

[joeluke]

'Guns don't kill people, gollywogs do'

Now who sang that?

[sara3]

"cause distress" etc..

really joeluke.. do a bit of homework!

[joeluke]

But
it's
a
childs
soft
toy

[jackthehat]

Is it one of Jane's Addiction's album tracks?

[joeluke]

I see things every day which offend me but perpetrators don't end up in front of the beak for them

It's all about different peoples perceptions of things, what offends some doesn't others

[jackthehat]

And those things are enshrined in Law *will* find someone up before the beak, hopefully....

[joeluke]

Sense of perspective needed here

If someone points a gun at someone else that's threatening

If someone displays a childs soft toy which someone else takes offence to that's trivial and petty

[TheTruthHere]

Let us make laws so we are all equal, but people and toys we don't like must not be as equal.

[jackthehat]

In your opinion........

[jackthehat]

Sorry, TTH, that was to joeluke...
