[sailfish]

This UK man will likely be facing jail time for a "grossly offensive" video of a dog Nazi saluting. Oh, what a slippery slope we're on.

YouTube comedian Count Dankula convicted over 'grossly offensive' Nazi salute dog video

"A man who posted a video of his girlfriend’s dog doing a Nazi salute on YouTube has been been convicted over the “grossly offensive” footage.

...Mark Meechan, 29, who goes by the name Count Dankula, was arrested in April 2017 after footage of his girlfriend’s pug appearing to respond to Nazi slogans such as ‘gas the Jews’ went viral.

...In a case that attracted widespread attention, Meechan was found guilty on Tuesday at Airdrie Sheriff Court of a charge under the Communications Act 2003.

...Prosecutors accused Meechan of posting material that was ‘anti-semitic and racist in nature’ and was aggravated by religious prejudice.

...In a tweet on Tuesday, Meechan confirmed he had been convicted, later adding that he is due to be sentenced in April."

That shows that the country and rulers are confident in 'rule of law' and the citizenry's continued support of the law of the land.

I knew the SS guard that had to stand in front when ever Jessie gave a speech . He said that after the first few lines on every speech were new and every speech was the same . Also he said of all the agents there he was the smallest , he thought it was the best spot to be placed . Because if someone tried to shoot Jessie , the shot would have passed well over his head .
