  1. I guess we need a secret police to investigate on the citizens and bring them to justice, or throw them to jail without due process should be better actually.

    Everything to make mother Europe happy.

  2. Still no idea what “hate speech” even means. It’s kinda pointless topic to discuss when everyone has their subjective definition for the term.

    If the situation is critical I’d expect this to show in real life somehow. 

  3. Man people really like to downvote stories like this don’t they

  4. Rightwing has gained a foothold everywhere. People got too soft and allowed it to happen.

  5. Well this is fairly obvious. One of the parties in the government is a one-issue anti-immigration party, and specially since the government policies on economy have failed spectacularly they want to divert the public conversation towards immigration as much as possible.

    Conversation about immigration as such is not a bad thing, but since popularity of True Finns is directly intertwined with how much Finns fear immigrants the discussion will not be balanced or objective, and that invites racism.

  6. Ganggrapes, stabbings and other fun activities reached critical level long time ago in Finland. So maybe words are fine, stabbing and graping not.
