@Fabgirl11 @traver8e @libsoftiktok No, that’s not the difference. Don’t be so silly.

@traver8e @libsoftiktok Could it possibly have anything to do with the left stoking the race card? If the "victim" is black, coverage. White "victim" -no coverage. That's the difference. It's a clear bias.

Reuters stories on Henry Nowak: 0 Reuters stories on George Floyd: 1,087 Do you see what’s happening?

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Yes but I suspect you also believe that freedom of speech should be an absolute right because speech is “just words” according to you (you didn’t answer when I asked). I never said that it undermines it you changed the premise. In fact it doesn’t, because it’s not absolute.

@MerlinJ21192 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal I agree with all of that, I just don’t see how one persons freedom of speech undermines that.

Elon just offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit against UK police officers who handcuffed the victim of a stabbing. Henry Novak had been stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with an 8in Sikh martial arts knife. When officers arrived, Vickrum claimed he had been racially abused, while Henry was lying on his side, telling the police he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Officers immediately took Vickrum’s side and told Henry that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault, dismissing claims that he’d been stabbed. Henry died as a result of his injuries. The UK is beyond a joke

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Except we are not just talking about ideas are we? I already told you that you are free to think anything you want AND you are free to express certain opinions but that doesn’t give you the right to say ANYTHING you want under the guise of freedom of speech.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal You don’t know that! There’s been plenty of times, I’m sure when someone has said something in the heat of the moment but hasn’t carried out that threat. Also again it’s still “just words” until violence is carried out. Why should it not be illegal to racially abuse someone? 1/

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Dignity doesn’t need to be so specific. The right to dignity to means that every human being has an inherent, unearned worth that must never be violated. It’s a fundamental absolute right. Do you disagree?

@MerlinJ21192 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal You still haven’t defined “dignity” in this scenario, you said it’s not taking offence but that’s the way you appear to be using it. The beauty of freedom of speech is you don’t have to stand around and listen to it, you can combat it with words or simply walk away.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal of violence. So why should that not be ok, according to you but racially abusing (as an example) someone should be? 2/2

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Again what you are saying doesn’t make sense. Freedom of speech isn’t something people voice. It’s a right, say it like it is, “the beauty of racially abusing someone is they don’t have to stand around and listen to it”. Following that logic you can say the same as a threat 1/

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal In that moment, both rights cannot exist at the same time. One person's freedom is destroying the other person's peace. 2/2

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal They clash because words are powerful. If Citizen A uses their "freedom of expression" to shout racial abuse or vicious personal insults at Citizen B, they are actively crushing Citizen B’s "dignity." Citizen B is left feeling terrified,humiliated, and excluded from society. 1/2

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Your answer then is no, you shouldn’t be allowed to say ANYTHING to anyone without consequences. Believe it or not threatening violence is still just words (in this context). So you do believe it’s a qualified right not absolute and that, in some cases, words aren’t just words.

@MerlinJ21192 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Freedom of expression protects opinions and speech, if you add into that with threats of violence that goes beyond words and into intimidation and potential harm. Threatening an actual crime which should always be illegal.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Sorry I should say HOW we feel about every human experience is subjective.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Ok, so you know that freedom of expression is a qualified right but you think it shouldn’t be? I mean the absolute right to human dignity (would you like me to expand? Offence and dignity are not the same thing. Every human experience is subjective.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal That doesn’t make sense. That’s a logical contradiction. You cannot say absolutely but have conditions attached. “Absolutely” literally means without conditions. You either mean no or yes. So your answer must be no, correct?

@MerlinJ21192 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Absolutely, unless it’s a direct threat of violence. Words should battle words.

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Let me ask you this: do you believe freedom of speech should mean that anyone can say anything to anybody without any consequences whatsoever?

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Except that is not what freedom of speech means in UK law. You can have your opinion on what you would like it to mean, but they are not the same thing. It is just words, but that is a naive way of thinking. Why should your right to speech trump somebody else’s right to dignity?

@Lindseyy888 @karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal Actually you are wrong. People CAN be as racist as their little heart’s want. That doesn’t mean you get to say whatever you want under the guise of freedom of speech. Nothing justifies murder, that’s why you go to prison if convicted. Unfortunately all groups are victims of it.

@karmeldesilva @MarioNawfal People should be able to be racist all they want, it’s freedom of speech. Anyway, video footage suggests the Sikh was lying. Regardless racism doesn’t justify murdering someone.

@Banksycat @swilsonnews @JohnCleese ‘religious communities vs British kids,’ which implies some Brits are less British than others.

@Banksycat @swilsonnews @JohnCleese I don’t think people are necessarily calling it bigotry to shut the conversation down. I think the reaction comes more from the framing of the original post especially where it moved beyond the established facts into broader political claims about ‘two-tier Britain’ and 1/

WATCH THIS. This made me choke. Made me feel sick. Henry Nowak. 18 years old. Walking home from a night out. He saw a man carrying a massive knife in a sheath. Filmed him. Henry said, You're a bad man for carrying that knife in public. The man said back, I'm a bad man. Then stabbed him. Four times. Henry bled to death in the street. When police arrived, the man who stabbed him said Henry had been racist to him. So POLICE HANDCUFFED HENRY, NOT THE ATTACKER, WTAF. The kid who was bleeding out and died. Arrested him for racism. While the man who stabbed him walked free and his mother removed the weapon. Henry wasn't racist. He filmed a man carrying a knife and said he looked like a bad man. That's it. That's what got him stabbed. That's why police arrested him while he died. Richard Donaldson brought this. Filmed it from his car. Couldn't believe what he was seeing. Where was the news? BBC Local News Hampshire reported it. ITV Meridian reported it. Regional. Buried. That's it. BBC News? Nothing. Sky News? Nothing. Channel 4? Nothing. GB News? Nothing. National news blackout. Complete silence. George Floyd? International Weeks of coverage. Statues torn down. The world stopped. Henry Nowak? Local news only. Court reporting. Nobody knows. That's why you didn't hear about it. National news didn't tell you. How is this allowed? Religious exemptions for ceremonial knives. Special rules for some. But Henry? No protection. Just stabbed and arrested while dying. How do we have one rule for religious communities and another for British kids? Why is a ceremonial knife more protected than an 18-year-old's life? Henry's dead. The attacker's on trial. National news said nothing. That's two-tier Britain. Media silence. Protected knives. Dead teenagers. And you weren't told. This is what Starmer's Britain looks like. If it wasn't for Richard's video I wouldn't know about this. Thanks to someone in the UK actually bringing this to my attention. @RDonaldson91 @GBNews @BBCNews @SkyNews @Channel4News @ITV Shame on you. Shame on you all. One of us is taken. One of our young lads. Somebody's son. Could've been your son.

@plane98483 @EliotNace @Keetb999k I saw the other comment. All I could take from that was unsubstantiated claims. Nobody said it was a trick question. I gave you an honest answer to your question.

@MerlinJ21192 @EliotNace @Keetb999k And if you check the other comment, this has been shown on a flat bridge and over water as well.

They said the Sun “goes behind the curve” 🌅😂 But simple perspective says otherwise. Funny how everyday observations still start huge debates. A coin disappears on a flat table because of perspective and angular resolution… not because the table curves. 👀 So why is the exact same logic ignored when discussing sunsets and distant objects? People can mock the questions all they want 😂 but observations are still observations. Maybe the real reason this debate never dies is because common everyday experiences do not always match what we were told to imagine. What do YOU think? 🤔 Perspective or curvature? #FlatEarth

@EliotNace @plane98483 @Keetb999k Hmmmm who knows? It’s not possible to tell the tables overall shape from that one piece of evidence. All it looks like to me is a folded piece of paper on a surface in front of some blinds. There is not a lot of info.

@plane98483 @MerlinJ21192 @Keetb999k Wow. What is this showing?
