(Christian) Grandmother who objected to gay march is accused of hate crime
Mail Online ^ | 10-26-09 | Andrew Levy

After witnessing a gay pride march, committed Christian Pauline Howe wrote to the council to complain that the event had been allowed to go ahead.

But instead of a simple acknowledgement, she received a letter warning her she might be guilty of a hate crime and that the matter had been passed to police. Two officers later turned up at the frightened grandmother's home and lectured her about her choice of words before telling her she would not be prosecuted

Mrs Howe, 67, whose husband Peter is understood to be a Baptist minister, yesterday spoke of her shock at the visit and accused police of ' wasting resources' on her case rather than fighting crime. 'I've never been in any kind of trouble before so I was stunned to have two police officers knocking at my door,' she said. 'Their presence in my home made me feel threatened. It was a very unpleasant experience.

The police in the UK get paid to go around "lecturing" people on the political correctness of their views? My response would have been, "Get the F___ off my property goverment lackey and don't come back without a warrant or a work order and then slam the door in their face."

Nothing to see here folks. It's just illegals murdering people that American convicts didn't have time to murder.

That's a great looking bunch of criminals. < / sarcasm >

It just blows my mind that our sorry government wants to pass amnesty without regard as to how many of them are murders from Mexico and will murder Americans in the future. Our politicians should be hanged.

This is in England. Free speech is dead there.

I was relieved to see that even the gay pride march organizers said the police went to far.
