What nonsense. No hate speech law would have prevented the massacre in Christchurch. The only thing that could have prevented it would have been the police doing their job properly and denying him a firearms licence.
Kris Faafoi’s Labour government have chosen to go after innocent law-abiding firearms owners instead of pointing the finger of blame where it belongs. Now they are using the tragedy yet again, this time as an excuse to bring back blasphemy laws and to supercharge them so that their protected victim groups will be able to use them as a cudgel to bash everyone with.
Of one thing we can be sure. White people will not be protected by these new laws but they will be the main target of them. White men in particular.
They will be the weapon of choice for the protected groups only. Groups that will be free to insult, criticise and hate white people as much as they like. Anyone who thinks that we will be able to use these laws against the racists who attack white people daily, such as radical Maori activists Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi, has rocks in their heads.
The cancellation of Lee Williams was just the activists warming up in preparation for when the Hate Speech law changes happen. Lee Williams was just the entree. They have already drawn targets on the backs of their next victims and no one found guilty of having an opinion while white will be safe.
