    Hate Crimes

    Literally hundreds of these have been committed on this website in the past 24 hours (mainly in the threads relating to the proposed loyalist march in Dublin).

    There is a facility to prosecute the perpetrators of such crimes in NI: http://www.psni.police.uk/index/hate_crimes.htm

    However, does anyone know if similar crimes committed in the Republic will be pursued by the Gardai?

    Is trolling also a crime? Do you have a number where we could report that?

    If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.

    For God sake if you are going to murder/mug/rape/kidnap someone make sure they are of your own race first. Otherwise it would be a hate crime and that's just wrong.

    Agreed - I dont see the point in having a separate law for murdering someone because you're a racist/mysogynistic/sectarian nutcase as opposed to a common or garden nutcase? Do black people get off lightly for killing fellow blacks, whites for killing fellow whites, indians for indians and so on? Are we only allowed to hate those of other races, religions or nationalities whilst murdering them - is it mild dislike if we kill those of a similar background to us? Very confusing stuff?

    All we are saying is give crime a chance.
