I kept up with how things went with my local rioters. The charges they faced were:
- Arson
- Breaking and entering
- Inciting a riot
- Lying to the police during a violent crime investigation
- Malicious destruction of a building
- Malicious destruction of police or fire property (for setting police cars on fire)
- Malicious destruction of property
- Rioting
There's a quote I recall that applies here: "Barbarism is thinking you know what's true and not tolerating anyone saying differently. Civilization is thinking you know what's true, but being open-minded about the possibility of being wrong. Decadence is believing there is no truth, and that one lie is as good as another."
For example:
Barbarism: "All buildings must be built in this style."
Civilization: "I prefer this style of building, but you might be able to persuade me about the merits of other styles."
Decadence: "Nothing is objectively ugly or beautiful. The new building isn't any worse, just different."
I believe this is the passage that was considered "threatening or abusive words":
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. -1 Corinthians 6:9-10
The other verses that would be excised from the Crown Prosecution approved Bible:
If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. -Exodus 21:7
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. -Exodus 35:2
Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death. -Leviticus 24:15-16
Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. -Deuteronomy 28:53
For context, this is the topic sentence for the section of that last one:
However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you: -Deuteronomy 28:15
She's right that his jacket is from the 90s. David Puddy from Seinfeld wears it.
To be fair, they don't think those traits accurately describe black people. They think those traits accurately describe racist stereotypes of black people.
I think better evidence that they're full of shit is that they can't decide which group is the orcs are supposedly a metaphor for, black people or Asians.
