So, when you realise that you're losing, you just start with the insults? Sad.

The point remains that he was not threatened with arrest for "being Jewish". Disrupt the topic? You mean by disagreeing with something that was said? Like people always do? Is it perhaps more a case of you not liking what I am saying and would rather I did not say it? That's exactly what I'm talking about. The fact that he wasn't threatened with arrest for "being Jewish". Hardly. I simply corrected someone.

He still wasn't threatened with arrest for "being Jewish".

I'm listening to everything you say, and thinking carefully about it, but you're wrong.

What right of protest is that? Can you cite it? Does it trump public safety? Can people do whatever they want regardless of the circumstances due to "right to protest"? (They can't, obviously.) It doesn't. You're wrong in pretty much everything you say.

I assume you're smart enough to realise that was a typo. Not in the slightest. People are trying to claim that he was threatened with arrest for being Jewish, which is not the case. Again, no, he was threatened with arrest to prevent a breach of the peace, not for being "identifiably Jewish". He wasn't threatened with arrest for being Jewish, nor was he threatened with arrest for being identifiably Jewish. You're wrong.

I think the article makes it fairly clear. He intended to approach the group of protestors and the police believed that this could lead to a breach of the peace.

No trolling here. You need to back up what you say. Simple as that. If you're right (you're not), then it should be easy for you to explain (it won't).

No. You substantiate your claim. "Please prove my claim for me." 🙄

No. They thought his actions might lead to a breach of the peace. Please read the article and my comments properly. You're wasting both our time.

How?

Only because that happened to be what police suspected could have contributed to the likelihood of a breach of the peace if he approached the protestors. It still doesn't mean that he was arrested for being Jewish. Nor that the breach of the peace was for "being Jewish".

I answered your question. He could have been arrested if he wasn't Jewish if his actions still threatened a breach of the peace. A person doesn't have to be Jewish to be suspected of doing something that might breach the peace.

If his actions threatened a breach of the peace, of course.

Could no one else cause an issue with the group? What about a non-Jewish Israel supporter? Or an anti-Islamist? Surely, either of those could cause a breach of the peace and, therefore, be threatened with arrest?

The Jewish man wouldn't have been threatened with arrest to prevent a breach of the peace if his actions weren't deemed likely to cause a breach of the peace. That's true as far as I can see, but that doesn't make the reason for threat of arrest "being Jewish".

That still wouldn't make "being Jewish" the reason for the arrest.

No. He was threatened with arrest to prevent a breach of the peace because the officers believed that him approaching the protestors would cause a breach of the peace. There is no "because he was Jewish" in relation to wanting to prevent a breach of the peace.

Not quite. It also relates to the protestors.

No. The only legal way is "to prevent a breach of the peace". That's the legal part. The rest, whilst being somewhat relevant, doesn't constitute the reason for the arrest. There is no illegality being suggested about "being Jewish".

He was threatened with arrest to prevent a breach of the peace, not because he was Jewish.

Either way, that wasn't what he was threatened with arrest for. It was to prevent a breach of the peace.

I'm not taking anything out of context, and you're being more argumentative than I am. People are making the claim that the man was threatened with arrest for being Jewish. He wasn't. That's it.

Someone could have "scammed" you into paying to much for a service or buying something that was not quite what you were led to believe it was.

Let me explain. If you punched someone, you would be arrested for punching them. If you were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace, you would be arrested to prevent a breach of the peace. If the breach of the peace in question was likely to be caused by a Jewish person walking in front of a group of protestors, it still would not be a case of the person being arrested for being Jewish. But you're still not being arrested for being Jewish. It doesn't. At least not to me... 🙄
