The Humans Rights Commission has come up with some creative mental gymnastics.
If our unelected, crappy masters are gonna call people for merely applying the law the state coerces people to follow, then I'm gonna reserve the right to call them tyrants because that's all they are in this instance.
"For refusing to serve a man carrying what it deemed to be improper I.D. — and then calling the police when he refused to leave — a Halifax bar is now awaiting punishment for what the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission deemed to be a discriminatory act of “imposing the police” on a customer “because of his colour.”
The bar, the Halifax Alehouse, maintains that it had no racial malice in kicking out Sierra Leone immigrant Dino Gilpin; they were simply fulfilling the strict requirements of Nova Scotia’s Alcohol and Gaming Division.
“Our motto is ‘if in doubt, keep them out,’” Alehouse general manager Peter Martell said in a letter filed before the commission. “We are heavily scrutinized by the [Alcohol and Gaming Division] and follow their guidelines.”
The last sentence is key. I'll let you sit on that. I think that's the heart of the matter. Whether they were being racist wasn't established.
As Maya Angelou has said: … ‘people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,’” wrote commission board chair Walter Thompson.
“Mr. Gilpin wept as he told his story. He will never forget how the Alehouse made him feel.”
Nice. And they have this kind of power? No, he doesn't quote a legal scholar. No, this clown quotes fucking Angelou.
Hurt feelings is now a crime.
Go stuff a banana in your ear and bust an eardrum with that crap Thompson.
