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



A man has been arrested over an online video that reportedly shows a dog making a Nazi salute.

The 28-year-old, from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, faces hate crime charges over the video, Police Scotland said.

The clip allegedly shows a pug sitting in front of a screen showing footage of Adolf Hitler and appearing to make Nazi salutes.

Officers said the video had been shared online and “caused offence and hurt to many people in our community”.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “A 28-year-old man was arrested on Thursday 28 April in relation to the alleged publication of offensive material online (improper use of electronic communications under the Communications Act 2003).

“A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

DI David Cockburn said: “Posting offensive material online or in any other capacity will not be tolerated and police will act swiftly to tackle hate crimes that are motivated by malice or ill-will because of faith, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability.

“This clip has been shared and viewed online, which ultimately has caused offence and hurt to many people in our community. There is no place for hate crime in Scotland and police take all reports of incidents seriously.”

And again we delve into the realm of fucking retarded. Why do people insist on coddling others' "feelings"? It's insane.

Someone posted a thing with a dog doing something funny on the internet. You'd think they had something more before making the arrest, rather than arresting first and than hoping to find something to back it up later just because they saw something that involved Hitler.

These laws are horrible. Anyone from Scotland here that knows how much support they have by the public?

Holy tapdancing crap. Xarim, I must ask: why the f do British people tolerate being treated like this? Do they actually WANT IngSoc to happen?

George Orwell would be so pissed right now.

Oh my god, those Jedi correspondance courses are finally paying off ! I have visions sent to me by the FORCE !

I see people shoehorning Muslims, Trump !

I see them asking why the police don't look into ''those crimes'', because obviously cops can't solve several issues at the time !

I see people making useful and pertinent comments on SJW, that totally not involve words like ''guns'' and ''cancer'', with the sense of moderation and nuance that the Internet is known for !

I see very mature and well thought insults fly off, including one that is the core plot element of Othello !

I see the suspension hammer and the close topic button fly off !

Oh wait, damn, those are not visions, that's me reading the 5-7 new topic per day on the matter.

Well i hope they throw that bigot cis scum dog in jail, fucking MRA shit of an dog, hope he burns for his racism.


Lefties have gone over the border and into the fucking looney tunes lands, holy shit lmao.
Only a matter of time

"that are motivated by malice or ill-will "
So I'd assume he'll go free quickly and without issue. I feel pretty safe in assuming he posted it as something funny.

For all the people that are prone of quoting 1984, but never read it (too many words and likely too busy by the struggle against SJW), do you know how the Party control the population, short of beatings and startvation ?

1)Making people scream insult at dudes they don't know, but that they have to hate becauze the party told so.
2)Publishing trashy pornographic material, novels and movies...

freedom of speech anyone?

Well that is a tad excessive, hope he walks free.

Somehow, someway, this is America's fault.

Scottish police seem to like arresting people over random crap, have they all been on the Irn Bru?

Huxley and orwell were both right in a way, their insight before the time is frightening

They're touchy when it comes to Sectarianism and don't want to show favouritism. They're also mindful of perceived anti-semitism since a lot of people are vocally opposed to a lot of what the Israeli state is doing which has been used to label Scotland as anti-semitic by some.

He'll most likely go free, as someone previously mentioned there has to be malice or ill-will which there is no evidence of here. This is just the Police showing they take hate crime seriously.

Cool, meanwhile muslims march through London calling every non muslim to be killed jihad on British streets, and that's being called free speech.

1) I doubt it. 2) England and Scotland have separate legal systems (and police forces).
