Gaz92 966 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Read on STV that the person who sent Kyle Bartley a vile racist tweet has been fined £280 (sorry, on my phone so no link).I wonder what it would have been if it had been sectarian abuse...

boss 1,941 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I believe that the statutory punishment for sectarian abuse is now 5 years in jail, 100 lashes, then deportation. Salmond was keen to make sure the punishment fitted the crime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sectarian abuse ===== jail sentence.Racial abuse ====== paltry fine.So the message is if you abuse someone because of their belief in some mythical being you go to jail.If you abuse someone because of the colour of their skin you get hit with a token fine.What a marvelous message that sends out to young children and society as a whole.
