The guy is in UK. He did a skit where he had his pug watch a video of Hitler giving a speech and then showed the pug giving a nazi salute, just like the monkey in raiders of the lost arc, and now he's been convicted of some bullshit hate crime and might go to jail.

Hey UK, Why don't you just stand up for yourselves? Oh wait, you're not armed and you have no right to free speech. Do as instructed subjects.

The first amendment really is special. My favorite is the second amendment, but the first amendment is a good one.

Sentencing delayed until April 23rd.
They can't give him more than six months, so they just kept delaying the trial and now the sentencing to put the worry in him while they swing the Sword of Damocles above his head. |

Was this in the US The government won't jail people for making their dog respond to Sieg Heil or Gas The Jews. Instead, the Democrats, Leftists, and liberals will blacklist all conservative speech, and everyone making conservative speech. The government won't be involved; it will be social media keeping "watchdog" lists like SPLC and ADL currently do. |

Watching Fawlty Towers The Germans must be a capital offense.

That’s bullshit. The dog is the one that did it, it’s the one that should be in jail.

View Quote The irony of it is that Prince Phillip, King Ed VIII (aka Duke of Winsor) and plenty of minor royals all had Nazi sympathies or family members way back when.

I bet the SAS raided their house in the middle of the night and wisked the poor pug to a top secret torture chamber on the Isle of Wight where puggles will never breathe free air again.
Godspeed puggles. |
