People who don’t have thick skin shouldn’t attend comic shows.

Canada has become a totalitarian nation almost overnight.

Is this the same kangaroo court that’s persecuting Mark Steyn for his book “America Alone”?

It will be on life support here in the US if the Rats win in November.

“There is also a dispute over what role alcohol played in the incident.”

No there isn’t.

The concept of “hate speech” is in direct contradiction to the concept of free speech. Free speech is useless if we don’t protect even the most offensive speech.

Always thought the term “phobic” meant fear. What word do we have to append to the prefix to confer the feeling that something is just plain repulsive?

I wouldn’t show up for the hearing. If one shows up at the hearing that is lending credibility to this farcical court. I mean, what are they going to do? If they fine you, don’t pay it. I would force them to either shut up or arrest me.

Then once arrested for possibly insulting a lesbian who has already twice assaulted me, let the fray begin.

I read today that they dropped the case against Mark Steyn.

More sensible heads prevailed, I guess or they got tired of being mocked.

If this lesbain thinks that she is the only one that gets targeted, she’s a buffoon. I’ve seem some absolutly vicious fixations on guests at nightclubs. One night I saw a very attractive young white women get attacked without mercy, for nothing more than being a good looking young white woman. And yes, the comic was black. This guy didn’t leave a stone unturned, a cell of her body, or a possible friend or family relation unaddressed in verbally brutilizing her. She, her group and my wife and I left the club. We never returned. We didn’t know her and her group. It was just over the top.
