Library Controversy

 
I was planning on being there tonight to shout them down, but got a last-minute call from a friend who needed to be picked up from the airport. Hope the fascist bastards were given a display of defiance that will make them think twice. Doubt it though, they're all pretty stupid.
 
To clarify; I fully support their right to freedom of speech, and the right of the library to allow them a forum. But that doesn't mean that I cannot exercise my free speech right to out-shout them. Freedom of speech does not mean that the speaker should be free from consequences.
 
A memorial for a lawyer should never take place.
 
I'm not a lawyer but I wonder if denying them free speech is a violation of their Charter rights. (Apparently, all the material and verbal communication were in German. So, the observer and police didn't understand what was said. Is there a German speaker in the house?)
 
Idiots.

There was no mention that she was a white supremacist or a neo Nazi. She was a lawyer who represented them for fuck sakes.

For that matter, how is it that Tory welcomes a bunch of racists like Black Lives Matters to City Hall with open arms and that's ok?

She actually was a white supremacist.
 
Lots of fun and games with this, great lip service by several politicians to you have a right to free speech, but with the caveat that you really shouldn't be able to use it when it is controversial.

Then we have everyone deserves a proper defence in a criminal trial but you were a pond scum lawyer for having represented people like that.

It is only then that the linked article actually gets to the actual matters - which never are addressed, who organized this memorial - Barbara Kulaszka's family and friends or her former clients?

Further, what type memorial service charges $10 to attend!

How then are you any different from the idiots at the University of California? It isn't support of free speech if you believe that it is acceptable to attempt to shout down someone with whom you disagree.

Clueless. It's not about free speech, it's about access to a space funded by public dollars.

See above - though the clueless part may not apply to you.

However, as already posted who organized this "memorial" Barbara Kulaszka's family and friends or her former clients? Was it a memorial service (unusual to hold such in a Library, but then again she had been a Librarian), or was it really a Neo-Nazi rally?

What other events have been banned at the Library?
