Misogyny to be recorded as hate crime

[Seth]

When I lived on my own in Southern California a guy got my address off of a work form (after seeing me in a shop he worked), showed up at my house and tried to push his way inside. I called the cops and they wouldn't even take a report. I think there is probably a rational balance between these two types of scenarios

The solution to that scenario isn't a police report, it's a pistol. Around here what he did is a crime (trespassing), an uninvited entry for the purposes of committing a crime other than the uninvited entry (sexual assault), and an attempt to use any degree of force against any occupant of the premises that justifies the use of deadly physical force and triggers immunity from both criminal prosecution and civil actions for doing so under our Castle Doctrine laws.

You'd be doing society a favor by eliminating the threat for everyone else.

Of course, merely showing him the pistol would have most likely terminated the threat immediately and sent him scurrying away.

Now, you're even worse off because you can't have a pistol and would be prosecuted if you pointed it at him even if you did, even if he was in the middle of raping you.

Is there any crime that's not a hate crime? I'm guessing very few crimes are done out of kindness.

Speeding taking your mum to hospital, after a stroke?


Robbing the rich to give to the poor?
Robin Hood would not agree with you.

Rubbing one out on the bus?

Snorting coke off a hooker's tits?

Giving Donald Trump a wedgie?

Will not liking curry be included as a hate crime in the future?

I actually like curry, but it doesn't like me. It gave me the shits last time I had some.

Is that a hate crime by the restaurant? I did suffer bodily harm for a week. (sore arse).

Careful, people have spent thousands of dollars to learn to turn that into hate speech mistermack. It's got all the necessary elements, brown people food, sore ass, 'n shit -probably find its way into a textbook soon.

That's scary.

Misogyny to be recorded as hate crime

Harassment of women is to be recorded as a hate crime in a bid to tackle sexist abuse.
Nottinghamshire Police said it would expand its categories to include misogynistic incidents.

It means abuse or harassment which might not be a crime can be reported to and investigated by the police and support for the victim put in place.
Nottingham Women's Centre said it hopes it will help give more victims the courage to report incidents.
Chief Constable Sue Fish claimed it will make the county a safer place for women.

"What women face, often on a daily basis, is absolutely unacceptable and can be extremely distressing," she said.
"Nottinghamshire Police is committed to taking misogynistic hate crime seriously and encourages anyone who is affected by it to contact us without hesitation."
Work on the idea first started with the Nottinghamshire Safer for Women Conference last year, co-hosted by the police with the Nottingham Women's Centre.
BBC TV reporter Sarah Teale was harassed in the street while reporting on the conference.

The force defines misogyny hate crime as: "Incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman."
The classification now means people can report incidents which might not be considered to be a crime and the police will investigate.
Specially trained officers will also examine if and how a victim can be supported or if anything can be done to help prevent them being targeted again.

and this is why you don't have feminist chief constables. The police don't make the laws and can only enforce the ones on the books. The police can't interpret the laws anyway they seem fit because we have lawyers and solicitors who will tear them a new one in the courts. The police and the city will be sued to heaven and back if they are stupid enough to try and enforce this bullshit. I look forward to plenty of lulz in Robin Hood land.

I'm only surprised that the Dodo man didn't use the words "Chief Cuntstable"...

Feel free to point out anything I said that was wrong. I'll wait. Also Islam would have to be banned for these 'laws' to be adhered to and if they are not, I'm happy to await the shitstrom. Like I have always said lefty/liberalism is a mental disorder and they shoot themselves in the foot trying to introduced their ideology to reality. Though as always when the lefty/liberals can't get away with their insults and shaming tactics they have fuck all else going for them (what a sad and delusional ideology). It is like shooting fish in a barrel but when you don't like the fish it can still be enjoyable.

"The police can't interpret the laws anyway they seem " I guess you have not met many Special Branch, CID or drug squad .

It just means it gets logged as an incident, a so-called 'hate incident' under the terms of the Public Order Act 1986 incorporating the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 amendment to the 1986 bill, for statistical purposes: prevalence and reporting rates, geographical disposition, etc etc. According to the legislation a 'hate incident' is "any incident where the perpetrator’s hostility or prejudice against an identifiable group of people is a factor in determining who is victimised. A victim does not have to be a member of the group." The target 'identifiable group of people' categories are: "...ethnic/racial/cultural affiliation, religion, gender, gender identity, disability, or perceived ethnic/racial/cultural affiliation, religion, gender, gender identity, or disability." The explanatory sentencing notes to the 2006 Bill also note that, "In the absence of a precise legal definition of hostility, consideration should be given to ordinary dictionary definitions, which include ill-will, ill-feeling, spite, contempt, prejudice, systematic unfriendliness, antagonism, and resentment, strong dislike of, and hatred towards any individual or group based on their membership (perceived or actual) of a target category."
