Ye olde racist or institutional/systemic style?
Link?
Nothing I've seen has indicated that his judgement has been affected by the felon's race, colour or creed... so please provide the links where you have based this statement on so we can all decided.
Try reading the OP in addition to the title then, it's kinda laid out there for you.
How is it ruining it? If you don't thnk there is something wrong here then perhaps you could explain? Though maybe it's your perspective that's the issue if you think this is fine.

The BBC the other day gave a decent overview of the verdict
Pro-Palestinian protests: Paraglider badge wearers found guilty
Despite the ruling, a judge did not find evidence that the woman were in support of Hamas.

nope.. at no point in those x posts calls the judge woke.. you questioned if the judge was woke without putting your own case forward.

So the takeaway is that it is fair to say that they were wearing the image in support of the attack. However we cannot conclude that they support Hamas just because they support the attack that Hamas did? :|
You didn't read carefully then - what do you think this tweet is calling out? Why do they need to call him woke - if I'd posted someone being shot and killed and used the word murderer would you object because the tweets don't specifically say murderer?
The apparent contradiction is there too, the paraglider symbol isn't interpreted as some symbol of freedom (kinda obvious given the context) but simultaneously not support for Hamas?

Well I assume there was actual testimony and evidence which showed they weren't Hamas supporters.
So the paragliders were in fact just some sort of symbol of freedom? Happy coincidence?
They've been found guilty of a terror offence but not punished. As far as the CPS was concerned the terror offence related to support for Hamas:
Three guilty of terror offence over paraglider images at UK Palestine march
Photos displayed at protest a week after Hamas militants attacked Israel on 7 October last year
www.theguardian.com
That the paragliders were seen as support for Hamas was the CPS's reason for bringing the case but then simultaneously they're guilty but not punished on the basis they didn't support Hamas???

The word has lost its meaning and now I see it whenever someone kicks up a fuss, they are called woke. Regardless whether it has legitimate basis.

"Far woke" was the latest LOL buzzword I read.

It's like an insult from one side when they lack the debating skill for a rebuttal, so they go straight to "you are so woke" or "stop being woke" ...I see it all the time.
It makes the person saying it look like an idiot.

because your getting your sources from flipping TWITTER. How is that hard to understand?
For example the judge didn't give the 6 formers officers sentences because they were just posting 'memes', They themselves admitted they were posting racist messages in the group and the entire reason everyone ended up finding out about it is because one of the members had a falling out and went to the press to highlight how bad it was...

My dad loves to throw it around as an insult. To me it means compassionate. Whenever he says it I just think that his whole political agenda is the opposite of compassionate.
Weren't the police officers retired at the time of the 'offences'? And even if they weren't it would seem that disciplinaries from their employer would be more appropriate than a court.
Being riled up in a mob doesn't sound like a very good mitigation to me either.

That's almost as meaningless criticism as some boomer dismissing info because it's "from the internet"

The tweet makes it pretty clear that the memes were deemed offensive, though in one of the cases someone was imprisoned on the basis of some implication. The point wasn't that he was misapplying the law there (though there are reasonable objections to the law covering such things in the first place) but rather that he was quite happy to punish for those offensive communications in a private WhatsApp but seems to have both found the defendants in this case guilty and also decided to not punish for a seemingly dubious reason.
Add in the possibility of bias from the linked-in post and his apparent wokeness and it doesn't look good. If you look closely the person opining that he ought to have recused himself is a Barrister

What I'd love to know is what is the correct term to describe the pro-diversity/equity, pro-trans, pro-immigration, anti-free speech, anti-colonial, anti-racism fellow travellers that think identity is paramount and believes in the freedom to hold any view as long as it agrees with theirs?
