Hands are tied in all sections of society including the police.
If arrests were made, public unrest would ensue, not from the law abiding citizens but from the communities which support this type of behaviour and have no regard for the law in any land.

As some one who lives in another country, it goes without saying that you obey the laws of that country I have no doubt Roy, so why is it to much to ask that people settling in our country obey our laws and if they don't like it there are plenty of airports dotted about to enable them to return from whence they came

Re: Protests at returning troops Parade
 

Just thought I'd drag this thread up again. It appears that there was a peaceful protest in Luton yesterday, the focus of which was to reclaim our streets from the Muslim fanatics, it was held in exactly the same place where our homecoming troops were abused last month, and was meant to highlight the fact that neither council or police did nothing to stop these hate mongers spewing forth their abuse at our lads as the marched passed. Guest what, the police in full riot gear stopped the march, which has been named as breathe taking double standards, funny thing is I didn't see this mentioned on the news yesterday, although I may have missed it. One has to ask the question what the hell is going on in this country that used to be ours:(:(:(

Re: Protests at returning troops Parade
 

Like you say Jaysay, not heard anything at all about this protest. Done a quick google without finding anything mentioned. Certainly smacks of dual standards though. Perhaps the protesters should have disguised themselves under Veils, Burkas and Hijabs.

Does seem that freedom of speech has been more than a little distorted ... from what I could see in the pics, what the original protesters were doing was not exercising their freedom to speak and to protest, but promoting hatred ... in Canada, that is illegal; it has passed beyond freedom of speech ... and I do presume that you have similar laws. And while I'm at it, what in hell's name are we fighting for in Afghanistan, a place where they can propose a law making shiite women second, or third class citizens, at the mercy of their husbands and male relatives; where a leading female politician and activist is murdered by Taliban gunmen, who relish claiming responsibility .... I think it's time to pull out of their crappy little asshole of the world country, and leave them to fend for themselves.

And on a sad note, another Canadian soldier was killed in action yesterday in Kandahar province. Trooper Karine Blais, 21, of the Royal 22nd Regiment, Francophones from Quebec, was killed in a roadside bomb blast. Four other soldiers were injured. She was from a small town in the Gaspe region of Quebec; and she was the second woman kia while serving with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

Could'nt agree more, the sooner our troops are out of there the better. Its not a war we can every win, and more and more of our own people are going to die needlessly!

Promoting hatred is also a offence in this country too Eric, but is just depends who is promoting hatred though. As for Afghanistan it was one of Bubba's targets in his Axes of Evil crusade supported by his buddy Blair:(

Re: Protests at returning troops Parade
 

Trooper Karine Blais arrived home to CFB Trenton today. Her coffin was accompanied by comrades from the Van Doos, and was taken to Toronto along Highway 401 ... Canadians lined the highway to pay their respects. There were no protests. I have the feeling that none would have been tolerated.
