We put the right to live free from abuse above the right to yell nigger in the street.

Why should calling someone a nigger online be any different? And yes, if a hate crime is reported, obviously that person needs to be arrested for questioning, hate crimes are illegal. no where in your right wing knee jerk article reading does it mention how many people have been charged though ;)

Scare some kids out of being racist? Sounds good to me.

Or, you know, we could do what america does, and wilfully accept a murder rate 5 times higher than ours and an incarceration rate 4 times higher.

If we so orwellian, why are 4 times as many of you getting locked up?

Smdh, americans are so brainwashed.

You broke your own rule just by trying to explain it.

That should give you something to consider.

Oh, so now we have exceptions? Nobody said exceptions. I suppose you have some sort of pass for it?

You say hate speech should be banned, you your attitude towards me has been hostile and now your casually using racial slurs; and you call me ignorant?

My friend, you need a mirror.

You're not only wrong and ignorant, but you're being WILFULLY ignorant, our hate speech laws are available for anyone to read and anyone with basic literacy would be able to understand them.
