mdoneil writes “Some nutjob Germans are burning copies of Anne Frank’s diary. The story from Reuters illuminates the everything.
At least it was not the government.”

    Wrong kind of book burning
    This was a vile, despicable, contemptible, and cowardly act of core political speech.

    If this sort thing hasn’t already, this action will probably raise legal questions equal to the judicial debate in the U.S. over cross burning: When is it a hate crime and when is it a political protest?

    Where’s the link?
    Where is the story link?

    Did they have to go out and buy copies and then burn them?

    The word story in the posting is highlighted as a link, at least in my browser it is.

    There is no such thing as a hate crime. A crime is a crime, no matter the mindset of the criminal.

    Thought can never be a crime. No matter how repugnant I find these book burning buttheads unless they stole the books to burn them it should not be a crime. A stupid childish stunt — sure, a crime — no.

    I typed too fast. The word hate in that posting should have been bracketed by quotation marks: “hate” crime.

    I had gotten my sleep; I get up at 04:00 those mornings I start at 06:00.

    See! It took me an hour to get around to checking out LISNews. 🙂
