re: #391 Obdicut

No. But that’s rather far afield from what you’ve been trying to prove; someone arrested for offending people. He wasn’t arrested for offending people. Hate crimes— whatever you think about them— aren’t about offense, but threat.

In this case, a stupid kid was vandalizing toilets. I’m glad he was caught.

That’s not really a case you want to hang your “See, people are being arrested just for being offensive!” hat on.

What if there had been no clogged pipes? Surely it is legal to use any kind of paper, from any source, as toilet paper. No matter whether the paper had a photo of Dear Leader on it or not, no matter whether the paper had writing on it about an earlier Dear Leader from an earlier day.
