Default What to do to protect freedom of speech

Toronto police threaten to arrest Menzies for questioning the protest of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani being killed, for calling him terrorist.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/toront...as-a-terrorist

I feel a threat to freedom of speech has occured. I'm starting to believe that for some people, freedom of speech is nothing more than a political weapon to claim if they feel ignored or want to push their views, but say it is not absolute if it threatens or does not suit their political or idiological views.

I'd like to somehow stand up against this kind of behavior. It makes me ill, especially when our gov't is guiltly of this. We need to somehow protest this kind of behavior. I think I'll write my MP.

and I don't believe in, or indulge in, so-called 'hate speech'.

If anyone don't like how I talk about "certain groups" and think I'm doing something illegal, they can call the police.

It's laughable that you think there is freedom of speech in Canada.

You just have to look at Mike Ward's or Guy Earle's convictions for jokes.

The cops explanation was pretty clear.

It’s maybe the same as me wearing an I LUV TRUDEAU shirt at a UCP party rally and calling UCP members racists hicks........

The cop is probably right that I’m attempting to stir things up and disrupting the peace..... cause chances are imma gonna get a beating.

I caused this situation..... I prolly shoulda been arrested no?

The reporter was deliberately trying to stir it up.

And if the mr 19 posts new (old) member would kindly read and understand section 1 of the charter ..... he might understand the cops actions.

It’s called context.

And sorry, but it’s stupid to conclude that cops are supporting terrorists.


I’m betting a whiskey the Cop was trying to prevent a fight from breaking out.

It’s called keeping the peace.


The reporter was cruising around a demonstration (stupid demonstration or not... ya the dudes an enemy of our state.... ) simply to try and provoke a ‘newsworthy’ response to show that there are violent terrorists here.

Cops stumbled on to this..... he’s gotta keep the peace.... dudes chirping... cop wants no trouble so he threatens a disturbing the peace charge. Probably a good call.

You have fundamental rights and can excercise those rightsonly if they are determined to be reasonable in a democratic society.

Did you read what I posted above? Did you try and read sec 1 of the Charter...?

Or are you just upset?


The Northern Guard White supremecist group marches in Calgary usually every June. Cops show up to ensure the crowd dosent I getters with the march....

..... cops supporting Nazis there...?

Nope

Angry Logical progression of institutional social engineering.

Freedom of speech only applies to morally superior progressives that are proclaiming the approved doctrine. Everyone else is a combination racist, bigot, xenophobe, homophobe, islamophobe, misogynist. Therefore physical violence against them is OK and justified. Kids have been learning this for quite some time; at least long enough to get a gun and a badge.

Nope.

Big pro gun demonstration in States today... betcha som lefties got arrested.

60’s had lots of lefties get arrested.

Your trying to see a ‘bias in the system’ and it ain’t there.....

But this reporter is sure trying to paint that perceptual picture.

It’s the reporter you should be ****ed at for manipulating you.

You got played.

New OP trying to play you too.

Menzie’s a moron that does his best to create his own controversies. Isn’t he the same guy that caused a scene in a home for mentally vulnerable patients and had to be removed? Then he went outside and jumped in front of a bus and then claimed that it hit him. Same guy, right?

Every time he does something stupid he then claims that he’s somehow a victim of something or other.......it’s getting old.

Now he attends a vigil and tries to cause a disturbance by provoking the people in attendance. The Cop had it right by using the word inciting because that’s exactly what he did. Loss of freedom of speech my arse.

Save your breath, so many people on here will make you to be a liberal, terrorist lover within a few more posts - common sense, logic and reading comprehension isn't what some of our members are known for around here.

BTW - I get what you are saying and you are probably 100% spot on.

Don't get me wrong - Soleimani definitely is no angel BUT he was also no friend of ISIS - the groups he influenced, and IRAN itself killed many ISIS fighters - probably more than the US did.

He hates (hated) ISIS just as much as the rest of the world (the majority of) does.

The people of IRAN also hate ISIS.

Obviously, a reporter should not go around trying to incite a riot - so the police had every reason to tell him to stop saying what he said.

There are a lot of educated members on this forum and I am certain that their comprehension skills are excellent.

Just not everyone agrees with kowtowing at the altar of political correctness.

It’s got nuffin ya do with it.

But boy!! The reporter sure as hell wants to make a link.

And the OP is howling at the dog whistle methinks.


This is a really super good example of the endemic problems of having ‘manufactured consent’ pieces at you fingertips beck and call....

The blaze ..... really?? A credible news source.,?

The repoter..... been discredited numerous times on various occasions.


Yet... gets used here as troll bait and wez gots people goose stepping g to his tune.


Sad man.....

Good troll thread btw.....

If people are questioned about something they support, and they dislike it, they should not be violent. Should they not have their support questioned because they might riot? They must be civil and defend or dicuss why they support a cause or position and without violence. The onus should be on them to be nonviolent even if someone else is being an idiot,

Bessiedog, are you one of those liberals lefties who are part of this call out culture trying intimidate and to score prestige points from your buddies for trying to set me a conservative in their place when you don't like what is said?

A S D ..... were they violent?

Strangely enough, our country says you have the right to do and think what you want, so long as it does not affect the peace or disrupt society.

We allow Satanists to publicly worship Satan.

We allow Nazis to publicly march....

We allow Islamic fundamentalists to call our country evil as well I guess.

So long as they don’t disrupt-hurt our society.

I think we should challenge these extremist groups. Yup.

But (as the Cop was noting) there’s a time and a place.

Label me a lefty... yea ok. Lol.

Maybe I was too snarky in my responses, I shouldn’t do that I agree. But I really think your totally misinterpreting the event because the reporter guy is stirring it up. And your being manipulated.

You seem to want an us vs them world.


But yah... you be you and call me an enemy.


My point and the cops point is that there’s a time and a place to stand opposed .

I think the vigil was way wrong. I reject Islamic fundamentalism, satanism, nazism..... and manipulative journalism.

Pm me if you still are not clear on my point .

The average citizen should never have to back up and shut up because a group may become violent. The peaceful or those that wish to debate loose their abilities to exercise their civil liberties because the protester's threaten to become violent? That bothers me. I think the gov't and legal industry has got that wrong.

Should the government force us to shut up because a group might get violent? In the end our system starts to fail. All that has to happen for a group to take power or push their agenda is to threaten violence?

It is up to the group to show control and respect others who question their belief. Was Menzies being a little too in your face, I think so. And yes, I could see he was stirring the pot.

And no, I am not a "them vs us person". I think you are right in identifying that as a major problem in society right now.

If you take time, you will see I follow nobody but try my best to make sense of what is happening myself. I try to see a situation or problem from several points of view. Then do my best to devlop an accurate view. I believe that if I'm wrong, I best change my view. Winning a debate if I'm wrong does not make me right.

In the end, I think that nobody should have their freedom curtailed because a group may become violent. The group threatening violence must obey the law.

No I am not being maipulated. I can see what is going on. I'm not stupid. Other people on this message board can reason, not just you.
