Man faces hate crime charge in Scotland over dog's 'Nazi salute'

[Fencers]

Is he advocating for multicultural societies?

Well, me and the dog both are from Brooklyn, NY. So we're both pretty okay with multiculturalism.

[Shadowmelded]

Nit picking here (not sure if that phrase is known widely) but surely if it is bad for one person to do it, it is bad for anyone, which would include Mel Brooks.
If he can take the piss out of something that would normally inflame Jewish folk & get away with it, because he is Jewish, then why shouldn`t someone that isn`t do likewise?

Reminds me of ClerksII, when Randall was told he couldn`t take back the phrase porch Monkey, "because you`re not black".

Well I mean I don't think the video was bad or antisemitic in the first place but it's harder to claim that someone would discriminate against a group that they belong to. Or rather, harder to make the claim stick.

What a progressive pup.

Maybe it's a bad idea to make a video where you constantly say "wanna gas the jews?" and make your girlfriends dog perform nazi salutes? Doubt this will result in prosecution and rightfully so, don't think this qualifies as hate speech just stupidity.

[GennGreymane]

Somehow, someway, this is America's fault.

It always is.

[DesMephisto]

He could have done more with this, it had so much potential but instead its just clips of him saying gas the jews like 50 fucking times. I loved the idea, it seemed so twisted and dark, but the execution was weak (from a comedic standpoint)

Erm, would you like to rephrase that?

[Tikaru]

Well, thank Odin we finally ran out of real criminals to go after...

[DesMephisto]

Hah, well played.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

What a joke. Is the Scottish government that bored?

Sheesh, this is still on-going!?

The Scottish courts are stringing this case out as long as possible, as they are bored of their normal cases, which are mainly prosecuting people for heroin possession and theft of shortbread.

[Mistame]

[GreenJesus]

LUL that is fucking bullshit. That my friend is why freedom of speech is so important. ANYTHING could be a hate crime.

Why? It's still relevant.
Don't want to see it, don't open the thread. It's that simple.

[Whatever Dude]

Can we have real conservatives back in power? Clearly they are just figureheads and radical leftists control 90% of power structures at this point.

I'm tired of this insanity.
