    Piper drowns out hate preacher.

    I don't know if you've seen this but I think it worth a watch,
    A hate preacher ( you can't really make out what he's saying) is drowned out by a piper.

    I saw that today too... Definitely chuckle-worthy, especially at the end when the po-pos arrive to have a little "chat" with the man in question.

    But just a quick word to the wise.... This thread could be a Rule #5 timebomb waiting to happen. Please take the high road, folks.

    Had the Speaker been understandable to any extent I wouldn't have posted!!

    Of all the songs to drown out alleged "hate speech" I would vote for Scotland the Brave every time.

    Brilliant! Young man deserves a nod of respect for a job well done! That and a glass of a very nice malt.

    I'm not sure what the guy was spouting off about but since when did we decide speech should be censured?

    That is more a Euro approach by law etc. but I still stand by the right of 'free speech' whether ugly or not.....censuring speech is a slippery slope.

    Defining something as 'hate speech' has become synonymous with I don't want to hear what you have to say...listen to me instead.

    I agree! And I hope that you'll stand just as firmly with me in support of the piper's right to counter-demonstrate!

    The posts by Reiver and KD Burke are the reasons I still hang out with this group.

    "Hate speech" of any kind is repelling to me but I will listen to the words and try to understand the intent before I decide my feelings. We as a group have found that balance among our group.
