Today, right-wing talk show host Thomas O' Hare has been arrested by the Union of Police Stations for calling for the genocide of "every evil racist on the face of the earth!" Thomas O' Hare is known for his various rants about protecting capitalism from the "socialist menance", aka, all of the SilentScopian government. He is rather unpopular, but usually have been tolerated due to free speech laws, until now.

"The racists are scum, wasting our money, spreading their flith and lies, trying to take over the world in some evil Racist Conspiracy! You know how these racists are, they scream their hate and bile, and try to gain control of governments by preying on the fears of 'races'. These undesirables should be...well, removed would be the politcally correct term, so I will use that. But, yes, remove every evil racist on the face of the earth!" Thomas O' Hare said, during a rant about the injustices of segreation by racists.

Thomas O' Hare's lawyer stressed that he did not really call for genocide, just for removal: "Removal means that he would like to educate people about the evils of racism. He was not at all claiming that racists should all be killed, even though that may be an admirable sentiment which most sane people would agree with." (Thomas O' Hare's lawyer has since been arrested and charged with calling for genocide as well.)

Free speech movements have argued that the suppression of 'hate speech' against racists is wrong, and that the Union of Police Stations should not have done such a thing. However, a spokeswoman from the UPS argues otherwise:

"Genocide is wrong. Plain and simple. You should not call for the destruction of a person based on an artibrary crietra, such as ideology. I understand many people hate racists, and so do I, but calling for their 'removal' or 'death' is just plain wrong, and is a firm violation of International Law.

If someone listened to Thomas O' Hare, they would have thought genocide was okay, and would have conducted genocide. This is plainly immoral."

If found guilty, Thomas O' Hare will be sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment.
