Kelly was found guilty in February last year and faced possible jail time. His case brought attention to an often-criticized piece of UK legislation that allows social media users to be prosecuted for sending “grossly offensive” messages.
As reported by The National, Kelly was sentenced on Wednesday. His defense argued that Kelly had few followers on Twitter at the time; that he had been drinking before writing the post; and that he deleted the tweet just 20 minutes after sending it.
Parlour’s post said: “Every man and their dog should be smashing [the] fuck out [of] Britannia hotel.” More than 200 refugees and asylum seekers lived at the hotel. The initial post received six likes, but could be forwarded more widely owing to Parlour’s privacy settings.
Welcome to the new normal.
Now, I used to try not say anything to offensive. I definitely dont incite violence, or advocate to do illegal things.
But holy FUCK. I am fucking SALTY, about what nova scotia did to me. Get poisoned at a place called ARCA Canada. Get denied medical help, have a doctor lie about a medicaiton I was never given. Have wcb and the college of physciians try to paint me as im just imagining everything.
Society IS FUCKING BROKEN. IT HAS BROKEN DOWN.
Ill even spare you that for the last 4 fucking years ive suffered from low phosphorous either from kidney damage from being poisoned by arca, or its cancer.
Ive taken a hundred blood tests. No one will do anything, these people are the biggest faggots I have ever seen and thats fucking giving a bundle of sticks a bad fucking name.
May these people rot in the FIRES OF ETERNAL HELL.
Now that I know they are trying to pass this stupid hate legislation through in canada, i will call people retards, i will call them faggots, because thats exactly what they are, especially the people who work for daddy government doing whatever their master bids them to do.
They already have laws in place, and now they want more and a "tribunal" who is going to police all this shit and preemptively fine and jail people. Fucking Orwellian.
Our ancestors fought hard to make america what it is, and now instead of being ruled by churches and the crown, were owned by people like bill gates and jeff bezos.
Second, there are at least three big red flags in the bill. The first involves the definitions for harms such as inciting violence, hatred, and bullying. As someone who comes from a community that has faced relentless antisemitism and real threats in recent months, I think we need some measures to combat online harms. However, the definitions are not without risks that they may be interpreted in an over broad manner and have implications for freedom of expression. Second – related to the first – is the incredible power vested in the Digital Safety Commission, which will have primary responsibility for enforcing the law. The breadth of powers is remarkable: rulings on making content inaccessible, investigation powers, hearings that under certain circumstances can be closed to the public, establishing regulations and codes of conduct, and the power to levy penalties up to 6% of global revenues of services caught by the law. There is an awful lot there and questions about Commission oversight and accountability will be essential. Third, the provisions involving the Criminal Code and Canadian Human Rights Act require careful study as they feature penalties that go as high as life in prison and open the door to a tidal wave of hate speech related complaints.

I'm not entirely sure, I think it is. Some people say that the license plate isn't one for feds. But they did act like other plain-clothes FBI agents I've seen. They're polite and a bit timid.
The feds aren't trying to hide from feds. They are trying to hide from the peasants, who cannot deliver a warrant to the rental company demanding the information.
Yeah if they were on official business you'd figure they'd have a government vehicle. I guess it could be a rental car. And the plaid is a bit odd. And I couldn't tell you why exactly it screams weird to me but why park right in front of the house, and then walk across the street. If the filmer wanted to catch the feds why not record the moment they show up?
I dunno it could be I've seen too much reddit and "Inception" but it just doesn't scream sincerity to me.
Rental cars are totally possible. Plaid just looks like basic dress shirts.
The walking across the street and then back, right as the video starts is a bit weird though, I'll definitely give you that.
We've seen this sort of thing before, though, and it's well within the FBI wheelhouse. I'm assuming it's real for now. But do wonder what they were doing across the street. Possibly trying to talk to a neighbor or something.
I hate to be that guy but I really don't think this is real.
I dont know. Seems legit to me.
Would it really surprise you? Man, I never really understood what made america so special, until I moved to a shit hole crown country like kanada.

No it wouldn't surprise me if it's real. My initial reaction is it seems staged. It's not a big hill, and I'm not interested in dying on it.

Feds rent or lease cars all the time because it's not traceable back to them.
How's that possible you have to provide everything shy of a blood test to rent a car? Rentals are the easiest thing in the world to track
The feds aren't trying to hide from feds. They are trying to hide from the peasants, who cannot deliver a warrant to the rental company demanding the information.

Maybe with more context, like what did the guy post?
May have been looking through the windows of the citizens car, which brought his attention to their presence.
