The highest police officer in Skåne, the third largest province and county by population in Sweden, was put on trial for sending a "racist" mail to the chairman of the city council in Malmö, the county capital and third largest city in Sweden. The charges were dismissed, however but he lost his job because "people can't trust the police when a high police officer makes such statements".

Well, looks like he learned his lesson.  Another glorious success for the courts!

He demanded that the chairman should give tax money to old Swedes and not to "criminal Mohammed in Rosengård". Exactly with those words.  :green:

I don't understand this why was he fined?   Stickers and notes no matter how offensive to some don't deserve this reaction

unfortunately some folk have a legal right not to be offended, apparently. there's PC for you.  ::)

the guy was a prick, but under the twattery was a genuine grievance - WHY had the local council approved moving war graves to make way for a mosque? are they fucking stupid?  :zombiefuck:

I agree with what Mr. Lake said:

Quote
Mr Lake, defending, said: "It was an expression of freedom of speech. Freedom to express your views should not only include the inoffensive, but also the contentious, providing it does not provoke violence. And a freedom of speech that does not include the contentious is not worth having."

Those stickers were somewhat offensive but they did not promote violence as far as I can see, so I don't see why someone has an absolute right not to be offended.

What will be banned next?

As Dunc said, the guy was a prick. In most cases, however, being an idiot is not against the law.
