"My Tram Experience" -- Racist Rant

[Telstra]

Sadly, there are few alternatives to taking the tram.

What are you saying?
She is clearly has issues, not the others ...

ashonfire, are you saying the person known as Eminem is no different from someone who commits those things known as 'hate-crimes'?

Nope.

Wow ... The 2nd vid posted here was at least slightly amusing when the woman was ranting ....

'Why don't you speak my FUCKING language. Can't you speak FUCKING English? Don't look at me as if I'm a CUNT ... FUCK this ... FUCK that'

As though speaking using the F word every 2nd word is the proper way to speak English.

The BBC news report describes "a passenger abusing ethnic minority people on a south London tram".

Well, if I were sitting on that same tram seat, I would be feeling as though I were 'the ethnic minority'.

But we already know that unless you are surrounded by blond English speaking people, you are incredibly uncomfortable, we've already had this discussion in the threads where you posted overtly racist, anti-semitic comments and were brought to task.

We know you hate multi-culturalism and the decline and fall of the Anglo Colonial era.

Well, just bear in mind that everyone from Romans to Saracens to descendants from the Indus raped the aboriginal females on the sceptred isle over 4500 years.

The occupation of the world by the next wave of demographically pre-eminent tribes and races doesn't get turned back because you are afraid of the Chinese or the blacks.

… you posted …anti-semitic comments…

I don't think so.

Of course her rant is ugly, but her arrest is equally as ugly.

Why arrest her? Doesn't she have free speech?

LOL at this guy:

Haha. This British guy is something else.

But the real question is: will this guy be arrested next for defending the racist woman?

For her own protection ensuring that in future she does not expose herself, or her child to assault from those who are bitterly disturbed by her obnoxious rants to wish her harm.

Free speech has its limits as libel, and slander laws evidence.

Who was she slandering? Whose character did she attack?

Isn't she just saying how she feels? So, when did it become against the law to say how you feel?

It would be interesting to hear the reactions of people who go out of their way to live in ghettos (of any sort) - I expect some would not understand the issue, though (may be scarier than those who judge ghettos to be necessary).

Most people who live in ghettos do so for they have no other option leading me to believe that choice is not the factor when living in a ghetto.

Those who have alternative options to living in a ghetto and prefer to live in a ghetto might well have reason to savour something that they cannot discover outside a ghetto environment.

A wise man said that our choices speak more to our ideals than they do of the realities of our daily existence when life teaches us to open up to the facts of life that many people are obliged to accept when having no choice but a ghetto existence.

Inciting violence using abusive, insulting language against people thus breaching the peace by our free choice of words is an offence and should be dealt with appropriately by the criminal justice system.

Try writing racial insults on this forum and you will rewarded with the appropriate response rapidly. Rightly, so.

Apples and oranges.

This incident occurred in a public setting. If she was to say what she said here on a "tram" in America, she wouldn't have had her civil liberties infringed upon. Free speech doesn't protect popular speech (duh!), but instead it covers speech that isn't popular because it should be heard regardless of how it comes across.

On the contrary because she was uttering her abusive racial, and xenophobic insults on public transport she laid her self open to judicial action. Had she spoken in such a fashion in a private setting she would not now be facing the courts.

Had she expressed her opinion without making use of abusive language calculated to insult her fellow passengers she would have been making correct use of her human right to free speech when expressing her opinion.

I suspect that the court will respond with a number of hours of community work as reward for her uncivilised behaviour. Also, because she has a young child to care for. 'Tis a pity that she showed little respect for the feelings of her child when launching her ridiculing tirade against complete strangers.
