Wow, that is very interesting Mr. Yuwang (cool username by the way). Yeah, lawyers have "Esq" after their names. Hey, at least their are no more wars in the US, yet.
Yeah. Hopefully, that law does not apply to non-UK citizens on non-UK soil, then the UK government would be overreaching outside their jurisdiction.
Racist thought is (and should be) protected speech.
Sorry, but foreign officials threatening US citizens with prosecution for acts on US soil removes what little humor I have. I hope everyone here knows that Congress doesn't "pass" amendments. Congress proposes amendments. After congress proposes an amendment, it is sent to the states for ratification. Two thirds of the state must approve of an amendment for it to become part of the US Constitution. I hope everyone here also knows the British burning DC was in retaliation for the US burning Toronto. The storm that put out the fires in DC and tornado that went through the British camp are more obscure.
Honestly, what the British do in Britain is their business. I may not agree with it, but it's not my country and if you go there and run afoul of their laws, too bad, so sad. It's when the British threatens to impose UK laws on US citizens outside its borders that it becomes every American's business. Yesterday I wondered what NATO says about war between member nations, because if the UK tries such, it could come to that.
I agree, hence why a racist comment should get a fine of half-an-hour's wage, but a threat to a group of people could get a higher fine (2 days wages, or a short period of time in jail), while a major threat and evidence for acting on that threat could get longer jail sentences.
So you think US citizens can do what they want to citizens of the world and there's no repercussion for it? Interesting.
No they won't. As extradition treaties require the offense to be recognized as such in both countries. The first amendment places a very high bar for any such extradition.
It was the US that declared war in 1812, and they lost, or at least drew with the white house burned down.
I would say there are conditions that exist for this ... example: "hate crime" .... recognized in both countries and occurs on social media.
Indeed, but the first amendment makes it a very hard bar to cross.
I have heard of that. The UK is devolving, and taking freedoms away. End times stuff.
Should you be free to actively encourage people to burn down buildings containing children? In the USA are you allowed to promote the murder of people through arson?
