11/17/24 Game 11 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Chiefs Gameday Thread
Brit replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Kincaid is already out. Brown could be a decision made in warm ups, for all we know, and Gouraige being elevated might be a precaution in case he cannot go. -

Mami are capable of doing that, though. A couple of banged up players on D and they can hurt you with all that speed. We have been spoiled with the way we have kept them in check the last few years. -

He gets the call from the box, which has a better view of things than him. But still sucks the box guy got it wrong. -

Excluding JA, predict your impact player - Bills at Ravens
Brit replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
With Shakir having a good game last week it might mean the Ravens do not concentrate so much of their D against Kincaid - so I will pick him on my O. Rousseau for the D as he is such an important piece to our run D. -
Just read Slow Horses by Mick Herron. Excellent spy fiction (the books that form the basis of the Gary Oldman vehicle on Apple+). Finishing off To the Lighthouse by Woolf. Good read, but not exactly my thing. Have recently finished a couple of non fiction books - Factfulness by Hans Rosling and Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker. Excellent books that show the world is improving (as opposed to the daily grind of sensational news stories that might make it seem otherwise). Both are full of facts and figures to show a more optimistic future than you might think. They also do point out there is still a lot of bad things in the world, just less than before.

Well, the US law on incitement is broadly similar to UK law. (Brandenburg vs Ohio). Trump was impeached for incitement, for a more recent example. That was the crime for which he faced trial in the senate. So it is most definitely a criminal offence in the US. As for overzealous enforcement. The joy of deciding these cases is that the evidence is literally in black and white.

Freedom of speech does have legal limitations. Always has and always will. This is true of every western nation. Even the USA. If you slander someone they can take legal action. If you libel someone you can take legal action. (Recent examples: Heard/Depp, Giuliani/false claims about multiple things, Fox News/false claims about voting machines). If you conspire to commit an illegal act - that is a crime. If you incite others to commit an illegal act - that is a crime. Freedom of speech does not protect you in such circumstances. This is not anything new. Julius Streicher was rightly hanged because of what he published, in the most extreme case. Those being investigated and prosecuted for incitement over things they wrote on various platforms will have their day in court. Similar things happened during the much more serious rioting in 2011.

One thing it did was increase immigration on a large scale. Including the small boats (because, as part of the EU, there was an agreement in place we could send them back to France).

Bit more info on these: Al Soaimi was a 15 year old. He was convicted of sexual assault. He received a suspended sentence of two years (if he offends again within a period of time he does time). He looks older in the pic because the trial and conviction were six years or so after the offences. He's still a turd though. The grooming gang he was part of also targeted a 13 year old, who said she as 15 (not that they wouldhave cared). They got 18, 13 and 5 and a half years. Melia is a full on Nazi. His conviction and sentence was for trying to stir up racist hate (anti-semitism) through his stickers and for his involvement in racially motivated criminal damage (presumably putting up the stickers on other people's property). Big fan of Hitler and Mosely. The offences were not really anti-immigrant, just general hate towards others. So the meme is deliberately innacurate. Would say I would vastly have preferred to have seen Al Soaimi's sentence to be actual jail and not a suspended sentence, no issue with Melia being behind bars.

Same thing happened in the 1930s when far right anti-immigrant thugs stirred up by populists tried to march through an immigrant (Jewish) neighbourhood in London. The Jews fought back along with their 'antifa' allies (at least a quarter of a million of them). The marches did not go through. Same old ***** (AKA History repeats itself). To be fair about the Conservatives, they were just as bullish about Ukraine. (Although they were awful about just about everything else)
