    The Police are contemplating charging him with a hate crime.......this is bizarre.

    Brookwell said the man showed up at the forum wearing "a handkerchief over his face that was the Confederate flag" and immediately caused a stir.

    "When challenged as to why he was dressed like that, he indicated that he wanted to make a point," Brookwell said.

    Things then got "heated" and the man was escorted out of the building and the doors locked behind him.

    Police were called and found the man in a vehicle parked nearby.

    Brookwell said the man was arrested and police are considering charges of wearing a disguise and uttering threats, although no charges have yet been laid.

    "Given the nature of these allegations, our hate crime co-ordinator will be having a look at this file," he said.

    Calgary police have charged a 66-year-old man with uttering threats and wearing a disguise


    Stupid idiot cops don't realize that if this guy pleads guilty to that last charge then he wins.

    More politically correct bullshit. A hate crime? :roll:

    Stupidity yes, a hate crime no but hey, on a more positive note. Now a whole bunch of new people can be outraged and start laying claim to the moral highground.

    carrying a confederate flag should be considered a hate crime. it's no different from walking around with a Nazi flag. in this context, it is without any doubt a hate crime, but the usual white supremacists on this board are defending racist action. no surprises here.

    And you're right on point again calling anyone who doesn't agree with you "racist" But, allow me to suggest that before you embarrass yourself anymore you should start checking your facts.

    It isn't illegal to carry or possess a Nazi Flag in Canada so your claim that walking around with one constitutes a hate crime is once again..... wrong.


    Canada has no legislation specifically restricting the ownership, display, purchase, import or export of Nazi flags. However sections 318-320 of the Criminal Code, adopted by Canada's parliament in 1970 and based in large part on the 1965 Cohen Committee recommendations, provide law enforcement agencies with broad scope to intervene if such flags are used to communicate hatred in a public place (particularly sections 319(1), 319(2), and 319(7).


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post%E2%8 ... ags#Canada

    So it's really a stretch to say this guy wearing Lee's Battle Flag on his head is a hate crime.

    BTW section 319 deals with public incitement of hatred which doesn't specifically mentions the Confederate flag. So, given Canada wasn't part of the American Civil War, never had slave ownership, didn't fight for the Confederacy and never flew Lee's Battle flag for any reason the charges are just another PC tool to shut someone up.

    http://www.efc.ca/pages/law/cc/cc.319.html

    So, the wearing of this flag on your head to express a point about the stupidity of allowing people to hide their identity when getting gov't issued ID's or taking citizenship oaths probably means that if justice prevails this person will walk on the "hate crime" charge.

    But, on the plus side if opposing your twisted hate filled views of white people makes me a racist then...............put me in coach.

    Tough talk coming from someone who pushes textbook communism and totally ignores the mass murders and oppression that communism was/is responsible for. If there's a hate symbol being shown anywhere on CKA it's from someone who uses a watered-down red star as their avatar.

    No.
    It should be considered a sign of mental defectiveness and they should've locked him up for a psych assessment.
    If you're a Canadian and in Canada, the only reason to wave or tout a Confederate flag is to be offensive, to prove you're an asshole.
    If you're an American in Canada many people would think you're an asshole, most would think you were a Yank from the South who didn't know better.

    The dumpster diving societal parasite's opinion is as irrelevant here as it is in the real world.

    it has nothing to do with whether or not anyone agrees with me. it has to do with white people upholding an unqualified supremacy over People of Colour. the Confederate flag is a symbol of racist violence.

    just because the law doesn't say it's wrong doesn't mean doing it is right. law does not determine morality.

    your head will look nice mounted on my wall when the revolution comes.

    i have never done any such thing and, in fact, i hold people who defend Stalin, Mao, Lenin, and Trostky (all of whom were capitalist imperialists, btw) with the same contempt i do for people who think waving a Confederate flag and provoking racist violence is in any way acceptable. the Confederate flag is also a symbol of mass murder by the capitalist slave-owning class.

    the red and black flag is the flag of anarcho-syndicalism. i am an anarcho-syndicalist.
