YouTuber ‘Count Dankula’ Found Guilty in ‘Sh**posting’ Case by British Court
Breitbart ^ | 3-20-2018 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 03/20/2018 6:57:03 AM PDT by servo1969

Scottish YouTube personality Count Dankula — real name Mark Meechan — was found guilty at Glasgow Sherrif Court Tuesday of a hate crime, and potentially faces two months in prison after recording a video of his girlfriend’s dog doing Nazi salutes.

Reporting from inside the courtroom, journalist and street organiser Tommy Robinson said Meechan had been found guilty of being “Grossly Offensive” under the Communications Act of 2003 and will be sentenced this afternoon.

The case is over a 2016 YouTube video made by Meechan and published on his comedy Count Dankula page of his girlfriend’s dog Buddha raising its paw in return for a treat, having been trained to respond to phrases.

Buddha’s owner Suzanne Kelly had previously said “He (Buddha) will lift his paw to virtually anything if he gets a treat for it. We have taught him to lift his paw to food, like ham or cheese,” and that her boyfriend had “never expressed anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic” views and has “always been very supportive towards minority groups”, reported Herald Scotland before the trial.

“Grossly Offensive”. You want grossly offensive, you want my paternal line after a Bean Supper. We’re talking Class IV Hazmat (grin)

This just twisted somebody’s knickers. . .

They can’t bother to prosecute all their pesos and Muslim “groomers” and rapists, but they will prosecute a guy for a joke video with his dog. These Leftards are destroying civilization.

They were bashing catholics in anglican uk, why would they ever go to prison for that? They got paid by the BBC to make this show, the government-run and funded BBC paid for the show to be made.

“he purposely intended to cause mass offence”

Better retroactively arrest the entire Monty Python’s Flying Circus then.

Perhaps Meechan can reach out to the Crown?

Maybe that’s where hogg’s handlers got their inspiration for those nazi arm bands last week. It’s not like they’re being taught history.

her boyfriend had “never expressed anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic” views and has “always been very supportive towards minority groups”

Right, but how does the dog feel?

I found the Monty Python skit, “Every Sperm is Sacred” to be grossly offensive. I never imagined that Monty Python could go to jail for it, though.

Makes you wonder in this day and age whether John Cleese could get away with the Hitler segment from his Fawlty Towers.

“Grossly Offensive” or not, it was damn funny.
