A father-of-two who called a lesbian policewoman a 'tattooed fat d***' has been convicted for the hate crime after a judge accused him of 'living in the Stone Ages.'
Louis Risley, 43, was said to have smirked as he verbally abused PC Shelley Quince-Black about her sexuality as she helped arrest him for loitering in someone else's garden on April 12.
Back at the police station, PC Quince-Black relayed the homophobic insult as she gave Risley's details to a senior colleague only for the suspect from Warrington, Cheshire, to retort: 'Well you are though, aren't you?'
The officer from Cheshire Police, who is in a same-sex marriage, was said to have been 'taken aback' and felt 'disrespected' by the comment.
In a statement she said: 'I felt that he had no regard as to how it would affect me. He said it off the cuff as if he used it frequently.
'I do not come to work to be victimised. I do not think that it's appropriate to use that language in a public area.'
At Warrington Magistrates Court, Risley pleaded guilty to using threatening, insulting or abusive words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm, or distress and was fined £150 with £119 in costs and a victim surcharge.
District judge Nicholas Sanders told him: 'We are not living in the Stone Ages when people felt free to insult others due to their perceived sexuality, race or anything else.
'It may have been acceptable some 40 or 50 years ago, but it is not now. You need to moderate your behaviour as an offence like this goes well beyond just words, it really does upset people.'

"judge accuses him of 'living in the Stone Ages'"
Did you catch the implication there? You'll live how we tell you to live
Thought police.
Lawless as are all monarchies.
Is dike a bad word?
So, rule of law means nothing?
Genesis chapter 19
God hasn’t changed His mind
Romans chapter 1
The uk is one of the most gynocentric, misandrist places on earth. We aren’t far behind.
In the U.S., the truth is an absolute defense, or at least it used to be.
We are so very lucky to have the First Amendment. This UK guy’s comments would have been protected free speech in the USA.
But I wonder how long that will last. The left is desperately trying to classify any speech they don’t like as “hate speech”, speech that is not protected by the 1A.
“…called a lesbian policewoman a ‘tattooed fat d***’…”

Well, looking at her picture at the linked site I’d say he pretty well nailed it with that description.
he ain’t lyin’
Whatever happened to sticks and stones...
Sigh.
Unga?
Victim surcharge? Is that money the tattooed fat dyke cop gets to keep?
I feel so sorry for the UK. Articles like this make me angry at “progressives” and thankful to be an American.
We are right behind them. America is incredibly gynocentric,
I doubt that there were many fat lesbians in the Stone Age.
So is she black? with tats? and fat?
What’s the problem.
Okay, she’s sort of fat and has a lot of ugly ink.
If she ‘feels’ she is attractive, that’s too bad.
