ENGLISH COUNTY CLASSIFIES MISOGYNY AS A “HATE CRIME”
If you think it’s a “cool” and “hip” and “acceptable” and “hilarious” idea to catcall women, you’d better bet your sweet bippy that you don’t live in the English county of Nottinghamshire, because you’ve just committed yourself a hate crime.

Last week the Nottingham PD enhanced their already bounteous description of what constitutes a hate crime to include “misogyny hate crimes”:

Misogyny hate crime, in addition to the general hate crime definition, may be understood as incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman, and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman.

This would include verbal abuse and “use of mobile devices to send unwanted or uninvited messages via mobile phones.” Nottinghamshire Chief Constable Sue Fish expressed unbridled jubilation at her newfound ability to toss filthy men into cages for daring to say anything untoward about the fairer sex. As Nietzsche warned, beware those in whom the urge to punish is strong.

GERMAN POLICE CONDUCT NATIONWIDE “HATE SPEECH” RAIDS
Because Adolf Hitler was a jerk of the highest magnitude and also because Jewish Lives Matter possibly more than all other lives combined, Germany has made it illegal to even say anything positive about the Third Reich. You can’t even compliment their famously shiny boots without risking incarceration.

Early last Wednesday morning, authorities conducted mass raids in all but two of Germany’s 16 states, seizing computer equipment and smartphones from 60 suspects who were accused of spreading “xenophobic, anti-Semitic, and other radical far-right content” online. German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière defended the jackbooted tactics by declaring that violence”€”which in his definition also includes “verbal violence””€”was “unacceptable.”

THIS ONE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM, EITHER
On July 14 as France was celebrating Bastille Day, a Tunisian-born drifter named Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel”€”whatta mouthful!”€”drove a 25-ton truck about 40MPH for two kilometers through throngs of festival-goers in Nice, killing at least 84 people including ten children. Even though Bouhlel reportedly yelled “Allahu Akbar!” during his vehicular rampage, and even though Islamic State-run media claimed Bouhlel as their “soldier,” a French Imam named Tawfik Bouhlel”€”allegedly unrelated to the attacker”€”declared, “This has nothing to do with Islam.

Super-foxy Front national politician Marion Maréchal-Le Pen begs to differ: “Those responsible are also those who each year allow a number of immigrants equivalent to the size of the city of Bordeaux, to legally enter France.” She also unequivocally stated that if we do not kill Islam, it will kill us.
