honest question,

isn't insulting someone protected by freedom of speech?

like, you can't prosecute someone for saying the N word

edit: first of all, my bad, thought it was the States, missed the UK part.

they do have hate speech laws there. I rescind my question

In Brazil you can totally go to jail for saying racist shit.

hate speech laws make sense.

but was asking specifically about the US, which was stupid because the article is about the UK
