nra Tshirt arrested

There is no threat implied with the first one. 2nd amendment is about guns. It shows the number target of the latest round of anti-gun hysteria...the AR platform. IE protected your gun rights...even the scary looking ones.
The implied threat comes from the gun-nut ranting about 'doing something' about the Libbies and the series of school shootings. If this was purely a debate between responsible gun owners and gun control advocates there would be no implied threat. However the echo-chambers of conspiracy theorists on the internet has changed civil discourse.

IF it evokes fear in some people, that is their problem as they have an underlying pathology: as Siggy Frued is attributed (rightly or wrongly): "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity".
This is not a statement that appears in any translation of any of Freud's works, as you sort of get at. So its an 'argument from authority' fallacy based on a misquote (also based on a very scientifically questionable authority, but that is another thread entirely.
"Beware of misquotes on the Internet." —Abraham Lincoln

Jihad is not covered by freedom of religion. Its a criminal act and no different than say Rasta's saying smoking weed is protected, or mormons having a dozen wives.
Except as any muslim apologist will tell you , Jihad can (who freakin knows, should?) be taken as an internal struggle and therefore is not explicitly supporting violence. Nor is explicitly supporting violence strictly illegal as any good IRA apologist will tell you (completely different, their music is like way better). Do think the Mormons and the Rasta's have a better point than the Sikhs do.

The states are on their way to a 'The Tyranny of the Least and the Dumbest'....and Canada is about 20years behind them...but RUNNING to catch up.
No argument here. But sadly that has more to do with the concentration of media and its new economics than anything else.
 
Yup I agree with you and get what you are saying. Anything can be said to incite violence. I personally use common sense. IE what is the most likely intent of the message.

The problem is this teacher represents the government and should be held to a higher level of accountability than being a neurotic wanker pushing his personal agenda. FFS that teacher is the one who made the scene and then called the cops and had the kid arrested! That is not a normal reaction over a fairly innocuous teach shirt. What happened to 'go to the principle's office' as a response...not calling the po-po! We aint talking blatant kiddie porn or "kill all the XYZ" shirts here!
 
And he should be made to understand that that is so, and punished based on surrounding facts and overall record. Far more interested in police in the United States, the UK and right here in Toronto refusing to give badge numbers plus assaulting and arresting people who are peacefully taking pictures or filming them

Great UK example, as I think Canada is closer to the UK than the US in these areas at this point (but as mention we are all catching up quickly)

both shirts display a weapon ......a tool to harm others or protect self

to me they are cowards behind weapon

why need a tool to talk for you!

when you can speak for the better of humanity

just a bully with a tool

I agree anyone that has a weapon just to look cool is a coward and a fool.
I remember years ago when I was a driver there was a couple of times I had a knife pulled on me and even once had a Gun pulled the knife times I ended up hurting the person not to say that I didn't get sliced but I had know choice in the matter because they were just drunk idiots. but the guy with the gun I talked my way out of it and actually really wished that I reported the idiot to the police since it was a hand gun.

Yup. The Liberty loathing left. It will only get worse methinks. Makes me happy to know there are still a few kids with thier heads screwed on straight. Also noticed one commenters astute observation that a minors name was used in the report but the identity of the "adult" "teacher" (indoctrinator) was protected.

Particularly in the U.S. right now I'm not seeing much difference in approach to civil and personal liberties between right or left to be honest. I haven't seen the Patriot Act changed meaningfully by the supposedly liberal 'Bamadministration but that's another topic entirely.

But to be honest, news stories revolving guns are all too common, and the overwhelming release these days is simply to distract most Americans from their real problems.

My issue here, is that the teacher was too dumb to involve the kid in meaningful conversation so he had to abuse his power and nearly incite a riot. If anything he should have been the one arrested for being a fraud of a teacher. Education is not just for the classroom, and some real dialogue should have taken place, whereas it sounded like the "indoctrinator" was simply trying to make a command and have it followed, which then blew up in his face, so he needed to use his power to get subservience.

Occupy Wall Street was a protest against the douche bags in the banking and investment industry that thought they could gamble and be able to pillage people who should have never gotten home loans in the first place and after the tank of property values ended up running to mommy-and-daddy tax payer to bail their disgusting, greedy, morally (and financially) bankrupt arses out.

The First Nations protest was two-fold: One was because Harper is on a massive, abusive tide of power by first removing protections for the bulk of our waterways, and second by trying to sell the whole frickin' country to China without telling anyone.

The problem with Occupy, and the First Nations protests in Canada is that media was used to confuse and confound their message so no one could understand what the heck they were getting at. Both were useful and meaningful protests that will ultimately be considered minor or non-events in the future, which is too bad.
 
It is almost pointless to divide this by Left vs. Right except to illustrate lack of knowledge. Socialists tend to like a bigger state sector, but the leftie ACLU is in the battlefront of protecting individual rights.

The squares are better but even that approach you can often see the bias come through in the labeling. (Libertarian vs. Anarchist as the archetype for individual freedom for example) Sometimes these labels are 'Economic freedom' and 'Personal Freedom' as axes but this will often be from the American right of centre

Yup its a good quote. Though for the record I was using an Ad Hominem attack and not an appeal to authority (as I was calling leftie panzies a punch of limp wristed, emotionally and sexually stunted group of idiots....which now that I think about it fits that teacher to a 'T'). :P
