Hate crimes and "context" when to get arrested, and when not to

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Nov 21 15:49:43 2024

I've seen footage of people being locked up in England for holding signs calling Hamas a terrorist group. Or the famous example last week of police going after a journalist for some post they made online. No shortage of examples under Ken.

Metropolitan police accused of ‘two-tiered policing’ after Imam’s call to curse and destroy the homes of Jews weeks after October 7 said to fail to meet ‘threshold’ of a hate crime.

The Metropolitan Police have declared that an Imam’s prayer to “destroy Jewish homes” does not constitute a hate crime, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The anti-Jewish prayer was uttered at an east London Mosque two weeks after the Hamas terrorist organization committed the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust on October 7, 2023.

A police spokesperson told the Chronicle that while “many people found the content upsetting… the entire sermon, including the wording, context and narrative have been reviewed and officers concluded that it does not meet the threshold of a crime.”

The paper wrote that the police’s assertion that the sermon did not reach the hate crime threshold “baffled security experts.”
