Freedum of speaks is so illegal in the UK as a another man is prosecuted just for Facebooking and Twittering...
A pro-Brexit former Royal Marine has been jailed for 24 weeks for threatening the remainer MP Heidi Allen online, including posting aerial images of her home on social media.

Judge Michael Snow said Ian Couch’s social media posts and email to the former Conservative MP, now an independent, would have been “terrifying” and were “clearly threatening”.

Couch, 59, sent two tweets and a Facebook post on 10 January which included aerial photographs of the South Cambridgeshire MP’s home, Westminster magistrates court heard.

In the posts, Couch, who served in the Falklands, said he was “close to giving out her address to the people that want it”, prosecutors said.

He also sent her an email the next day in which he told the MP a lot of people were asking for photos of her home but he had refused because he admired her constituency work.

Snow said the tweets, Facebook post and email made it clear the former Royal Marine regarded Allen’s views as “treacherous”.

He added: “It’s quite clear to me that the cumulative effect of these on Ms Allen would have been terrifying. Those, in short, made it clear that you regarded her particular views as being treacherous. You indicated you were close to giving her address to people that wanted it. That’s clearly threatening.”

In today's "racism is very unpopular in America" news:

Police use of fatal force is identified as a leading cause of death in young men

Police violence is a leading cause of death of young men in the United States with black men 2.5 times more likely to be killed by law enforcement over their lifetime than white men, according to a Rutgers study.

The study, published in PNAS, examined fatality risks during police encounters - some 11,456 between 2013-2017 - and found that African-American men and women, American Indian/Alaska Native men and women and Latino men face a higher lifetime risk of being killed by police than do their white peers.

"The inequality is not surprising," said lead author Frank Edwards, assistant professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University-Newark, noting the police killings of black men like Michael Brown and Eric Garner and boys like Tamir Rice and the protests that followed bringing national attention to the racialized character of police violence against civilians.

"All you have to do is turn on the news to see that people of color are at a much greater risk of police-related harm. What we lack in this country are the solid estimates of police related deaths because there is no official database where this information is stored."

The Rutgers study used data compiled by the National Vital Statistic System's mortality files and Fatal Encounters (FE), a journalist-led database that documents deaths involving police where cases are identified through public records and news coverage. Edwards said the unofficial media-based methods provide more comprehensive information on police violence than the limited official data collected.

Tucker Carlson: Advertisers abandon Fox News host after he says 'white supremacy is a hoax'
Thousands of consumers urge advertisers to distance themselves from presenter

Advertisers are deserting Fox News’ primetime host Tucker Carlson, who called white supremacy “a hoax” in the wake of a mass shooting thought to be racially motivated.

"The whole thing is a lie,” Mr Carlson said live on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday. “It’s actually not a real problem in America … This is a hoax, just like the Russia hoax. It’s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country.”

Mr Carlson’s comments came three days after a gunman suspected of writing a white supremacist manifesto referencing a “Hispanic invasion” opened fire in a Texas supermarket, killing 22 people, including eight Mexican citizens.

Hours later, the hashtag #FireTuckerCarlson began trending on Twitter, with thousands of people calling for consumers to boycott the show’s advertisers.

A Nestlé spokesperson confirmed to The Independent on Friday that the company, which placed adverts on the programme within the last three months, has no plans to do so again in the future.
"Wat is het een gezellig boel hier".

White supremacy is a hoax!
A black man was about to buy a cop’s house. Then, he found a KKK application in a bedroom.

The Confederate flag place mat on the dining room table was Rob Mathis’s first hint that something was off inside the home he was thinking of buying.

“I thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if this was a Klansman’s house?’” said Mathis, who is black.

Previously, Mathis and his wife, Reyna, had been ready to make an offer on the five-bedroom home they viewed on Wednesday in Holton, Mich., a small township of less than 3,000 people in Muskegon County. They thought the house on the 22-acre wooded lot about an hour outside of Grand Rapids, Mich., would give them enough space to entertain their children and grandchildren. Then, Mathis walked into the NASCAR-decorated garage to see not one but two Confederate flags in what his wife would tell him was the home of a police officer, MLive reported.

When the family and their real estate agent went upstairs to check out one of the bedrooms, Mathis and his son noticed a lone wooden plaque holding an aged, yellowed document. Once the father and son got closer, they were disgusted to realize what they were looking at: an application to the Ku Klux Klan.

“I said, ‘Oh my God, let’s go and get out of here right now,’ ” said Mathis, an Army veteran, in an interview with WZZM.

Walking through a home of a police officer with KKK memorabilia rattled Mathis, who struggled to grapple with what he’d seen in the “Klan house.”

White Arkansas woman charged with pulling gun on black teens fundraising for school
I think they ought to tell us what she had on TV at the time. I bet it was Fox.

edit:
"I observed Mrs. Kelly holding a chrome plated revolver that was pointed at four black males that were lying face down in the driveway with the hands behind their backs," according to a report written by Wynne police officer Michael Hinton.

"I notice that two of the individuals were wearing high school jerseys. I then immediately recognized all four individuals as high school juveniles from my interactions with them as a school resource officer."

When the officer explained that the four students, ages 15 and 16, were doing an annual fundraiser for their Wynne Yellowjackets football team, Kelly made gestures to her skin color and that of the boys, police said.
She offered to buy the boys lunch to make it right!
