Re: USA land of liberty
Do you honestly need someone else to tell you that people in the UK don't get arrested for waving the UK's flag? Can't you work that out for yourself?

Apparently that was wrong… he was arrested for speaking.

Funny… you like to criticize the US for revoking a non-citizen of her Student Visa for her speech. Yet in the UK apparently they arrest citizen’s for their speech. We didn’t arrest that student… we just revoked her Visa. In the UK they don’t value your right to voice your opinion if your opinion violates the sensibilities of the new power players in town.

Slippery slope… who decides when a simple Facebook post is just an exercise of a right to freedom of expression and when it instead is “inciting” violence? I certainly don’t trust the Gov’t of the UK with this decision.
Seems like Ralf enjoys throwing stones when he lives in a glass house.

Its prudent to warn racist pricks not to be racists when they are vastly outnumbered by 'them' though Jim.jimboston wrote:https://www.newsflare.com/video/599288/met-police-warn-two-londoners-holding-england-flag-that-they-may-face-arrest-during-pro-palestine-protest
Its keeping the peace.
A Met police officer is heard telling them men that “the moment anything racist is said…people are going to start getting arrested. It’s a verbal warning.”

You seem to be getting gradually closer to the point of this thread. She was deported for exercising her legally protected right to protest.jimboston wrote:Funny… you like to criticize the US for revoking a non-citizen of her Student Visa for her speech.

Your UK example is irrelevant. The UK has laws against racist hate speech. That that man broke them and he was therefore arrested. None of his legal rights have been violated anywhere in that process.

Walking along the streets of London however I saw a ton of “Pride” flags (there was a parade overlapping the week I was there)… and a bunch of Palestinian flags. There were many corners occupied by Muslim ‘preachers’ blasting their music and “Prayers” at volumes that should’ve been considered “disturbing the peace” IMHO. I saw very few UK flags other than those at official gov’t buildings and tourist places, and in souvenir shops.

You seem to be intentionally missing that point.
Please point to me the place in the US Constitution where is says that foreign nationals have a Right to Student Visas.
Please define “racist hate speech”. I think singing or chatting the slogan “From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free” is “racist hate speech”. Please explain how this is not so….
Re: USA land of liberty
The Supreme Court, in a unanimous, 9-0 ruling, just ordered the Trump Administration to provide sufficient advance notice prior to any deportations under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798 that the deportees can have reasonable time to petition for the writ of habeas corpus prior to their actual removal. All three Trump-appointed justices (Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch) joined the order.

It would not change the outcome of the case presented in the OP.

I am comfortable with the US gov’t revoking student Visas of foreign nationals when they engage in verbally violent hateful speech in support of known terrorist organizations.

When they start threatening to arrest citizens who post some off color stuff on Facebook… then I’ll be worried. When they tell citizens we can’t have counter protests in opposition to racist Nazi’s or Terrorist Hamas supports… then I’ll be worried. These are things that your gov’ts currently calls illegal.

The UK is 82% white. 75% white British. The other 7% will be eastern european. 9% Asian. 4% Black.
little New Palestine indeed.
At a Palestinian solidarity rally in London at the weekend there was a counter zionist protest rally where zionists were making death threats and other threats of violence under protection of the Met Police.

Re: USA land of liberty
jim thinks the 'breeding rates' of non-white people are an existential threat to the UK. Says it all really.
Europe just needs to kick the US out of Europe before it goes full Fourth Reich. Then at least when the pogroms start they'll be safely barricaded on the other side of the Atlantic.

You are aware Britain once had an empire and still has a commonwealth, right?
