'Hate Speech'



Defendants in court in Denver charged with unlawfully disrupting a Columbus Day parade are trying to justify their actions by calling the parade a form of “hate speech,” reports the Rocky Mountain News.

Some 230 people are charged with loitering and failure to obey lawful orders for trying to block the city’s annual October parade.

Some of the defendants claim their actions were necessary because the parade is a form of ethnic intimidation. They object to elebrating Columbus, whom they condemn as a slave trader responsible for genocide in the deaths of up to 10 million American Indians.

They decried as racists a group of teenage girls on top of one float who threw candy at the protestors in an “aggressive manner.”

***end***



All I can say to this is...




:rofl3:

"They threw candy at us in an aggressive manner! My life will never be the same! Oh the humanity! I think I broke a nail when that Tootsie Roll was hurled at me by that anorexic beauty queen! I want my lawyer!"



:behead:
 
Dude... read between the lines. They threw candy at them knowing that their racial heritage would make them prone to bloating and diabetes. It's raw contempt and subjugation at its worst. They might as well have put a bullet in their heads. Candy indeed.

That huge Garfield float sure made some shudder & recall prisons & torture. :rolleyes:

Columbus, whom they condemn as a slave trader responsible for genocide in the deaths of up to 10 million American Indians.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Columbus never made it to the mainland of N America, as I recall. He just hung around the island paradise.

You know I would if you were. ;)
 
I would love for some of these losers to show up at a Columbus Day parade in Bensonhurst (Brooklyn), where I grew up, and where they later renamed a major avenue "Cristoforo Colombo Boulevard". I somehow think they would be a lot more self-disciplined. ;)
 
I'm *still* waiting for the Leif Erikson Day parade.

Rape and pillage, burn the village.

SKOL Vikings!

See what a good PR rep can do for you.

Yeah, well Columbus was sent on a trip by royalty. Leif was a Viking whos Dad discovered new lands because he kept getting kicked out of countries. Chris has the advantage from the start.
