1) People who go to a comedy club may hear routines which they do not find funny.
2) People who go to a comedy club may hear routines which they find offensive.
3) People in a comedy club who are unhappy with the performance should find a better club.
4) Professional comedians may be heckled by patrons who are not amused and/or offended.
5) Professional comedians who cannot handle hecklers without losing control should find a new line of work.

This is sick.
A true human rights organization should only be able to deal with abuses by governments against their citizenry.
Individuals whom are seperate from the government cannot violate human rights - individual actions are regulated through government laws. I see nothing here that is worthy of being labeled as a “crime”.
It deeply scares me how international organizations that were once intended for purposes of protecting individuals from governments are now being turned on individuals themselves. That was, of course, the game plan all along... but it sure is ugly when you see it.

Two things:
1) Why is it some people need for the whole world to know their sexual orientation?
2) I haven’t heard anything about this case except for the article posted here on FR, but I get the feeling this could be a set-up.

Canada is definitely losing its civil liberties. Not as badly as the loss of democracy in Venezuela or Zimbabwe, but a human rights disaster nonetheless.
The Canadian “Human Rights” commission are pure Orwellian misnomers.
And don’t think for a second that it could not happen in the USA, especially if Obama wins.

Canada is definitely losing its civil liberties. Not necessaritly. Homosexuals and Muslims are merely privileged perpetually-aggrieved minorities now. If you limit all criticism & jokes to white people, Christians, conservatives, and President Bush, then there's nothing to see...move along.

"I don't hate anybody based on their sexual orientation, or whatever, but I do hate hecklers and sometimes I get a little vehement,"
That's right - choose your words carefully, my friend. Before long, you'll be thrown into prison for saying anything derogatory about gays and lesbians, the new privileged and protected class.

- They know that it's a sledgehammer that they can use to simultaneously place themselves on a public pedestal as well as silence any contradictory statements. In their diseased minds, it makes them special and unique. Some may also not have anything else, such as intelligence, talent or skill, going on in their lives and this is the best that they can do.
2) I havent heard anything about this case except for the article posted here on FR, but I get the feeling this could be a set-up.
- A Google News search for keyword phrase 'guy earle' currently returns about a dozen different articles on the matter

But it’s still OK to be offensive to comics and assault them by throwing alcohol in their eyes.

“When Earle got off the stage and walked past the women, one of them splashed a drink in his face.
Earle says he got back up on stage later to say goodnight and that when he walked past their table a second time, the same woman splashed another drink in his face and then stood in front of him as if she wanted to fight.”
Is it illegal to defend yourself in Canada? He was essentially assaulted. Twice!

Sure the story’s incomplete, but there’s no justification in prosecuting someone for being obnoxious.

Telling a joke is now a crime in Canada. They used to outlaw them in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Its a measure of how far the benighted Dominion Of Canada has fallen, that telling a joke now can get you ensnared by the country's political correctness police. An Obama Presidency (bite my tongue right off and flush it away) will bring the American legal system closer to the Canadian model, in my view. May God help us if this comes to pass.
