Criminalizing opinions is fucking stupid.
Comment on Boy, 15, given official warning after saluting as neo-Nazis marched through Ballarat
Marsupial@quokk.au 6 months agoCan you only be racist at 18?
Likewise being a teen doesn’t change the bullshit excuse by the courts.

Learn the difference between opinions and actions.

Sorry, my mistake. Criminalizing expressing opinions in public is fucking stupid.

You have to me a special kind of uneducated to think that throwing the Nazi salute or displaying Nazi symbolics is merely ‘expressing an opinion’.

Wrong and wrong…
If you really think there’s no different between 15 and 18, then give a 15yr old alcohol, give them a licence and let them vote.
They’re a kid that a group of Nazi fuckwits marched past and they reacted with a Nazi salute, that it.

Oh yes I remember all the times as a 15 year old I jokingly saluted neo Nazis. Classic childhood stuff, if this were 1935 Germany.
This kid should be made to undergo some sort of community service or opportunity to learn and reflect on their actions. Not given a free pass and dismissal of racism.

Oh for fuck sake, teens do stupid thing, we all did stupid things as teens without thinking about the consequences, get a grip.

Yes they do and there should be some punishment, so they learn. Otherwise Tim will jump around on another kindergarten roof until it gives way and he falls in again, but this time someone might get hurt. Speaking from experience.
A few hours community service will do the trick.
