Comedian on autistic girl arrested for "hate speech"

West Yorkshire Police arrested an autistic girl for a "homophobic public order offence" a couple of nights ago, apparently for something she said in her own home (and therefore not a public order offence). She said a police officer looked like her "lesbian nana". Her nana is a lesbian, it's not homophobic, it's just an awkward but factual comment.
(it would've been funny if her nana was bisexual, then she'd have said the policewoman looked like her "binana" - would've been a double hate crime as a slur on Sir Robert Peel, who formed the first modern police force in the UK)
Anyway, in conclusion - weaponised autism will save Western liberal democracy.

@@JoJo-ko6pu A couple of years ago, we had one of the people in the apartment below, absolutely whacked out on drugs and losing his shit. He was doing laps around the flat in nothing but boxer shorts at 2am, then ran out into the road to do slow motion star jumps, before running across the road to the park and finally returning to smash his place up. Lots of strange shouting and screaming, he was running around the indoors on all floors too, banging on other peoples doors and trying to kick them in. None of his friends who had turned up could get him to stop, and because this had gone on for ages and it was stupidly late at night, we called the police. Explained everything, they didn't want to know, they said it was not down to them and it was more of an enviromental health officer issue seeing as the noise may not reach levels considered to be a breach of the peace. In the end the guy left a few weeks later and the landlord had to gut and rebuild the place, everything was wrecked, holes in the wall, smashed the windows etc, , about the only thing he didn't do was set the place on fire. ...but no, 7 cops show up, 6 of which were needed to protect the fee'fee's of that dyke looking power mad bully of a "cop". Absolute joke, especially her attitude when being told that the girl is autistic.

Leo, you are right in what you say about autisitic people. I'm austistic, I have no filter in how I say things, and I am terrified of upsetting people and I hate confrontation, especially in today's insane world. I have a very strong sense of right and wrong and this is so wrong, as is many other stupid things that society is currently doing in the last few years. This incident has really upset me, I am so angry at how that girl has been treated. Even if this girl meant to insult the office, so what, it is clear that we are not even allowed to have opinions anymore - does history not show society that this is a very bad thing.

[@charleshayes2528]

@AlanMac56 I have autistic friends and relatives and I see the problem. But I would not want people to think that all autistic people have the same problems. Many of my autistic friends have a sense of what would be hurtful, although they would not see a problem in merely describing things factually. Where the police went wrong is mishearing description as insult. However, I disagree with the presenter of this film, since I and others have experienced vicious hate speech and even threats, so I don't think all hate speech is a non-crime (in the sense of implying it doesn't matter.)

[@charleshayes2528]

@@KraziEyevin No, but I never said they should be. Anyhow, your comment is too general. The girl in this incident made an observation which is not hateful and she wasn't in public. No one should be wrestled to the ground for any verbal offence, but if someone violently harasses another person because of their race, sexuality or disability and refuses to stop, they may be arrested. If they resist arrest, they may be wrestled to the ground and taken into custody. I am not suggesting that I approve of the police doing that, I am saying it may happen. Indeed, my comments were about hate speech, not about the police action. Mr Kearse seemed to suggest that hate speech is not real. But anyone with any sense of history knows that isn't true. Whether it is overt and aggressive or quiet and indirect, people do use language to demean and to express hatred towards others. To recognise that is not to support police violence. I believe in free speech (and the right not to speak) and in the right to protest. I deplore what happened to the girl. But hate speech exists and can and does lead to violence. This doesn't mean I want to see all disagreement stamped out nor do I think we all have to keep our opinions to ourselves. What worries me is that we can't distinguish between the two extremes. On the one hand, this poor girl gets accused of hate speech by an officer whose body language seems to be full of hate and on the other, absolutely awful attitudes are defended in the name of free speech. You and I are free to comment and to agree or disagree, we can even comment on our disagreements, but that would not give me the right to insult you or call you names or make you feel afraid of me. The problem with the current situation is that it is too vague and the police are free to do as they please. We already have laws about threatening or abusive speech, if someone threatens or is abusive, then the law allows the police to act, but even then it should not immediately escalate to arrest and certainly not to violence, unless there is genuine cause for it.

[@KraziEyevin]

@charleshayes2528 hateful speech exists, and I doubt Mr. Kearse denies that. I believe his position is more along the lines that laws against hate speech are antithetical to free speech, as this case illustrates for us. Hate speech regulation is simply another tool for agents of the state to control and suppress dissidents and anyone who offends them. "Hate speech isn't real" is often used as shorthand for that idea.

Your comments about autism, reminded me of a hilarious moment recently with one of my autistic students. He is a very tall 14 year old boy and despite all our best efforts, he swears like a trooper, his favourite word being the "F" word. We were walking down the corridor, past some junior boys, when he heard a junior say the "F" word. He stopped in his tracks, swung around to face the potty- mouthed culprit and said very loudly and authoratively: "F***ing hell! What kind of f***ing inappropriate language is that?" The whole corridor went silent, the red faced junior looked contrite and apologetic, and our gentle giant and self-appointed modifier of junior behaviour in the corridor, continued on his way oblivious to the shocked open-mouthed reaction from the students and the bemused look on the faces of teachers trying to pretend they did not hear him. Amusing moments aside, I do worry about the vulnerability of people with autism and also people with intellectual disabilities, both from the point of view of their susceptiblility to manipulation and also their vulnerability as likely targets accused of "hate speech" just because they speak as they find.

[@nigelfranklin4752]

Are you sure the example you use is not someone with tourettes? I have aspergers but don't tend to swear too often and others with autism that I know tend to be the same. Not doubting you, as a teacher you may well be more informed than I am, and you may even have met more autistic people than I have. Just surprised. I cant speak for all autistic people, I could be a little different here, but I am the most difficult person you will ever meet to manipulate. You tell me the sky is blue, I will check it. I take nothing at face value and question literally everything. I also need to understand things to a minute detail. And I mean everything I come across pretty much. Pulling the wool over my eyes is very hard! If you are full of BS, I will smell it before anyone! However, I agree with the hate speech thing. Many autistic people deal in facts only and have no time for or understanding of this PC nonsense. Facts are facts ,whether they offend or not is something else. Whatever it is, speaking straight facts should not be an offence whether someone is autistic or not. For many of us, the only way a conversation can be arousing or engaging is if we are talking about facts in a very straight fashion. Too much fluff and social chit chat will make many of us switch off, and here is the problem. An intelligent autistic person is going to spend their lives offending people or being very bored. That was already a tough choice. Now the choice may be more grave. Speak as you find and pay the price, or dont speak at all. What a choice!

[@jonathanwalker8730]

My former partner of 20+ years is autistic (we're still best friends). There was one moment when this manifested itself many years ago which still tickles me. It was Sunday lunch at my family's house when conversation somehow veered off the rails into the subject of religion. My mother, a devout Catholic and adorer of the white Jesus Christ (you know, the one with the long blonde hair and blue eyes) was espousing the wonderment of Our Lord, when my girlfriend, a graduate in history and English from the very posh King Alfred's College in Winchester, uttered in a completely innocent tone of voice, "But Jesus was a terrorist." My mom's eyes went as wide as the dinner plates we were eating off, and I laughed so hard that I nearly spluttered out my mouthful of cabbage. Donkeys' years later in conversation with my ex I still randomly drop in, "Jesus was a terrorist," to which she rolls her eyes and groans, "Don't." Remembering it, I'm even smiling as I type. But on a more serious note, you're right; there is the danger of autistic people inadvertantly getting themselves into bother when there is sometimes a lack of social filter.

[@nigelfranklin4752]

@@jonathanwalker8730 You got off lightly. I have argued simultaneously with religious people and atheists. In fact the atheists were more dogmatic in most cases than their opponent and certainly resented me more. My ex-wife had a husband that seemed to want to offend everyone! I didn't obviously. I simply said that that there was little evidence of creation and no evidence of lack of creation. So strong belief either way is faith based and illogical. To someone like me, any other conclusion is incorrect. There is a lack of evidence either way to be certain enough to conclude anything. Most of the time now I just sit there not wanting to open my mouth. Because someone will be offended by something I say and especially the way I say it. Not getting any better by the looks. Speaking factually doesn't protect me now, if I offend someone, I'm, toast. Thats bad because I cant help offending people, they dont like facts!

Sometimes even the chiefs and inspectors make false arrests, just like one I saw on an update video yesterday from an arrest 18 months ago, where they falsely arrested 2 people, for walking across an open and public car Police Headquarters car park, and looking at some memorials, which were placed outside the reception. They had been there for just a couple of minutes, when it took the chiefs and inspectors who walked over just 36 seconds to make the false arrests. They also assaulted one of the victims by slamming him into the booking in desk, which always have CCTV... Yet they claimed the CCTV wasn't working, and none of them were wearing bodycams. They also put up an illegal "Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" sign after the fact, which wasn't there at the beginning, and has now been covered up, as it's public property. Plus they've now put up gates and fences to stop the public entering the public property which we pay for, which proves they know it was open for anyone to walk through to begin with. However the 2 victims are now getting a minimum of £4000 each, even without proof of the blatant assault from the chiefs and the inspectors.

If it takes seven police officers to arrest a 16 year old girl, how many does it take to arrest a thief?. Non. They wouldn't bother!

I couldn't be more ashamed of my country. I've lived in Scotland all my life and dated many women but a year ago I got a warning for sexual harassment at work merely for asking a colleague out. I got furious and almost resigned but I stayed on for just that, I was scared that the allegation might follow me wherever I go. I wish I'd reported both my colleague and manager to human resources for false allegations.

[@amg9163]

In the US, all corporations give mandatory trainings to their employees. One of the main takeaways I got from the training is that if the recipient of the statement or *-anyone within earshot, who happens to feel offended-* by what they have heard, can file a sexual harassment complaint. In other (non-sexually) harassment guidelines, a person cannot comment that their co-worker's lunch smells "funny", "weird" or "strong", because those comments are *_offensive_* even if they are lighthearted and made in jest. This all changed in theast 10 years or so. When I was working in the early 90s, guys sometimes had porno pics on their huge computer monitors, but no one complained then. The policies have done a complete 180 since then and are so rigid, that a man cannot pay a compliment (non-sexually, non -flirting) to a woman, without being in jeopardy of being accused of harassment. Everyone here is tense and on guard. 🧐

[@TDKiller415]

@@amg9163 Utterly disgusting. And this was all meant to be done in the name of equality 😠 This isn't equality, its bullying. There has to be a certain criteria met for a sexual harassment allegation to be made, even to protect those who make the allegation, so that they won't be in trouble for lying.

[@TuberMad]

It's probably best that you didn't; HR is there to protect the company, not its employees - and the quickest way to make a problem go away is to make the complainant go away.

This is why I always will say one tip. Always if you can record the police when they're arresting you. Whether you are in the end right or wrong, you have recorded evidence of the situation.

[@boredofcarverticaladverts]

I think we must always record any interaction we have with the police to protect ourselves from bent cops

[@ilyarepin7750]

what will recording accomplish? The state knows you know they are abusing you. They don't care because they know you won't do shit. Either start responding with violence, and purging these communist thug enforcers or stop complaining and learn to deal with the jackboot on your throat. That's where western civilization collectively is right now.

The police think the insurance covers the loss so there's no victim... I gave up trying to explain that losing my no claims would cost me money so I am a victim! 😂

[@alanjm1234]

When insurance companies have to pay claims they pass that cost on to their policy holders. So basically everyone with insurance is a victim. But I doubt you'd have any hope of explaining that to the British police.

[@andydudley1775]

did the police feel alarmed and distressed by your comment to make you the criminal and them the victim again.

[@angelafloodgate4437]

Charges dropped but too little too late. They should have hastened to take measures (suspension and investigation) against all involved officers and emitted the sincerest apologies to the familie and society as a whole. By not doing that the superiors show they back up this kind of behavior. But we simply can’t afford to tolerate this type of behavior in the police force and they will find out just like Nat west did.
