In the US honking at assholes is one of the many Constitutionally protected rights of free expressing we enjoy. In England it’s a hate crime, especially if it’s a white person honking at a rude black person. An elderly woman was investigated as a “hate criminal” when she honked at a black woman who was being inconsiderate at a gas station. This is yet another reason why we should be thankful our brave forefathers kicked some major British ass back in 1776. It’s also a reason to be thankful that the democrats are not in charge, because this is the kind of country they’d love to turn America into.
Here’s a thing that is so preposterous in could only come from merry old England. The Mirror reports:
An elderly woman had to be questioned as a hate criminal after beeping her car horn at a black driver due to existing rules, a police commissioner says.
Hate crime regulations forced police to quiz the pensioner under caution because the other driver reported it as one…
The story is basically that an elderly woman and her husband were waiting to fill up at a gas station and there was a black woman at the pump taking her sweet-ass time. The elderly woman honked her horn and the black woman yelled at her and then called the cops to report a hate crime.
Here’s Thames Valley commissioner (I think he’s a cop) Anthony Stansfeld to explain it in a much more British way:
“An elderly couple turned up at a petrol station and there was a woman who had filled up with petrol in front of them. She was taking ages fiddling around and the lady who was driving, who was in her seventies, peeped on the horn and out flew an Afro-Caribbean lady who screamed abuse at them, went into the kiosk and reported it as a hate crime,” said Stansfield.
In the UK, the law clearly states that any report of a hate crime must be investigated, no matter how stupid it is.
[Stansfeld said] that current laws mean detectives have to investigate anything that is “perceived” to be a hate crime, which could result in “huge injustices”.
Is there any bigger injustice than getting honked at by an old lady? Actually, the most important question on my mind is, why wasn’t the “Afro-Caribbean” woman arrested for a hate crime? She “screamed abuse” at to elderly people and I’m almost certain that old geezers are a protected class of people in England. Fat-shaming is a hate crime in that stupid country, so I have to believe elder abuse is too.
The only thing saving this from being the dumbest racism story ever is that, after a thorough investigation, the police determined that the woman was not guilty of committing a hate crime. She did however get logged in as having been investigated as a hate criminal, something that will go on her permanent record. The elderly woman pleaded to have this hate crime investigation removed from the books, but the cops refused and for the rest of her life she will be considered a potential racist hater.
In England, people have to get permission from the government to own a gun and that’s something that is rarely granted. The police stop and frisk people with no probable cause, looking for sharpened potato peelers, because without guns Brits stab each other a lot with kitchen utensils. Honking at black people who are acting like jerks could land a Limey in jail for a hate crime.
This is exactly what would happen to the United States if democrats could lay waste to our Constitution like they want. If this doesn’t make you vote Republican, nothing will.
