“Hate Crimes”
Adolfo Mesquita Nunes fala aqui da resolução do Parlamento Europeu que apela à luta contra a impunidade do crime de motivação racista ou homofóbica. Gosto muito deste PE, e gosto muito de Ana Gomes, que está no PE para usá-lo. E gosto muito que se condene e apela à luta contra o crime. Mas qualquer que seja, por amor de Zeus.
Também gosto muito do deliciosamente incorrecto South Park, e lembro-me do episódio Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime em que é protagonizada a seguinte cena:
| Stan: | Oh, uhyeah. [walks to the easel and clears his thoat] Hello, Mr. Governor, and thank you for taking the time to hear our presentation on hate-crime laws, entitled, "Hate Crime Laws: A Savage Hypocracy." [shows the title page. Kyle presses the play button for some ambience] Yes, over the past few years our great country has been developing new hate crime laws. |
| Token: | [flips a page to depict a stabbing in progress] If somebody kills somebody, it’s a crime. But if someone kills somebody of a different color, it’s a hate crime. |
| Kyle: | And we think that that is [flips the page to reveal a copy of the title page] a savage hypocracy, because all crimes are hate crimes. If a man beats another man because that man was sleeping with his wife, is that not a hate crime? |
| Stan: | [flips the page to reveal a person tagging City Hall] If a person vandalizes a government building, is it not because of his hate for the government? |
| Token: | [flips the page to reveal a man being hit deliberately by a car] And motivation for a crime shouldn’t affect the sentencing. |
| Stan: | [flips the page to reveal warring groups of people around a question mark] Mayor, it is time to stop splitting people into groups. All hate crimes do is support the idea that blacks are different from whites, that homosexuals need to be treated differently from non-homos, that we aren’t the same. |
| Kyle: | [shows a rainbow of people holding hands] But instead, we should all be treated the same, with the same laws and the same punishments for the same crimes [Stan flips the page to reveal their hate crime proposal]. For in that way Cartman can be freed from prison, and we [flips the page to show them winning a sledding race] will have a chance to win the sledding race on Thursday. |
Quem melhor que um bando de crianças mal-comportado e com as piores intenções para falar de crimes de ódio…?
Episódio clássico.
Usando de pirosismo gratuito. Um crime é um crime é um crime. Se todos somos iguais perante a lei, não há crimes diferentes conforme a cor da pele da vítima. E mão pesada se necessário seja qual for a cor da pele do agressor.
