Ireland: Parliament Passes Country’s First Ever Hate Crime Legislation


Helen McEntee, Ireland’s Minister of Unbearable Cuntness, was very happy about this

This was one of the most extreme “hate speech” laws in the world – probably the single most, even worse than Germany’s – and it’s now be watered down to just be about “hate crimes.”

I guess that’s a victory?

Breitbart:

The Irish parliament passed hate crime legislation on Wednesday evening, which includes within it a redefinition of gender based on transgender ideology.

Ireland’s Criminal Justice Bill passed the Dáil Éireann legislature in Dublin on Tuesday by 78 votes to 52, meaning it can now be signed into law, public broadcaster RTE reports.

The bill will mean that for the first time in Irish history, there will be increased prison sentences for crimes which were found to have involved an element of hatred.

America invented this, by the way.

What you’re thinking when you’re doing a crime is very important.

Somehow, it didn’t relate to the freedom of speech.

America now has reverse hate crimes laws, where if you do a crime against a racist, you get a lesser sentence.

Under the law, a hate crime element is defined as having been motivated by so-called “protected characteristics” such as race, colour, nationality, religion, national or ethnic origin, descent, gender, *****ual characteristics, *****ual orientation, or disability.

The champion of the legislation, Justice Minister Helen McEntee, said, “We are determined to stamp out hate-motivated crimes and we are determined to protect vulnerable communities,” adding: “It is not acceptable that some people live in fear simply because of who they are.”

Oh, it’s a woman?

Shock.

Others were less enthusiastic about the bill’s passage, including Freedom Party leader Hermann Kelly, who said it was an “unconstitutional move away from equality of all citizens before the law.”

The legislation was significantly watered down last month, with a vast swath of provisions removed from the bill criminalising so-called hate speech, which even included prison time for merely “possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred”.

Justice Minister McEntee said that she decided to press on with the hate crime legislation without the hate speech provisions because there was not a “consensus” among lawmakers.

However, upon the passage of the bill on Tuesday, the neo-liberal Fine Gael politician said that she “absolutely believes” that the fight to implement hate speech restrictions will continue in Dublin.

The legislation passed on Monday may provide some framework for doing so. The law lays out a gender definition based on the transgender ideological notion of self-identification.

The bill defined gender as: “The gender of a person or the gender which a person expresses as the person’s preferred gender or with which the person identifies and includes transgender and a gender other than those of male and female.”

The Irish may be the ones who do not roll over.

They’re the only ones who will firebomb cop cars in anti-immigrant riots.
