In that particular case yes - and for now yes, but left unchecked who knows where we go with it...
In the UK we've already had a girl arrested for posting offensive Rap lyrics online
A Scottish guy fined £800 for teaching a Dog to nazi salute (in the clear context of a prank)
Im just saying there is valid argument for some Push back against hate crime/ hate speech laws, and it should never be automatically dismissed as 'Biggots just wanna biggot' etc (not that im accusing you of this personally),
But yeah where its clear and proven targetted discrimination- I have no problem with sensibly implimented hate crime laws either, Hate speech laws on the other hand.... but thats for another discussion.
