It is an unprecedented case. And it risks triggering an unprecedented threat to journalism. The UK police have repeatedly tried to obtain the passwords to the phones of the British independent journalist, Richard Medhurst, the first reporter arrested in London under Section 12: his analyses and comments on Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza – which Amnesty International has characterised as genocide – have been interpreted by the police as support for organisations banned from the UK, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The British journalists’ union, the NUJ, and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) publicly condemned his arrest and the use of anti-terrorism laws against journalists “simply for carrying out their work”.
Once again, not even close to my argument. Why is every accusation a smokescreen for even worse shit and weak strawmen with you people?
Once again, then: state your argument so I can evaluate it. Otherwise it’s just the original “he needs to go to prison because I don’t like him” along with a big dash of, “you’re such a stupid poo face poo poo head”.
You still thinking I have the power to put him in prison is hilarious. It’s called an opinion lil bro.
This is just too good to leave alone. You have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, obviously, but the really funny part is that you also have absolutely no idea what you yourself are taking about. You actually aren’t capable of writing down your point of view, which is fascinating because it could be for so many reasons.
You’ve been running scared of your position the entire thread, chasing after some inconsequential slippery slope argument you can’t even argue for without sounding brain damaged. What was it you said, every accusation is a confession?
Why don’t you just come out and say it, you LOVE terrorists, hate Jews, want to rape civilians, and murder everyone that disagrees with you. It’s very clear seeing as you refuse to address it.
