      About time geez.

      It’s good to see a response and proper justice being carried out for a change.

      Especially when I’m seeing increase in astroturfing/bot activities/dog whistling in several other subs.

      >(The neo-Nazi) **had also shown no remorse, contrition or insight into his offending,** the magistrate said.

      >He was given a discount to his sentence due to his early guilty plea.

      If a student of the law could explain just why the former doesn’t outweigh the latter, that would be cool.

      I’m all for not wasting the time of the court, but this is an unabashed and unrepentant neo-Nazi we’re talking about.

      *I appreciate the education, cheers 🙂

      While we’re throwing shit in the bin, how about this bloke? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-09/nsw-palestinian-rally-lakemba-sydney-israel-wong/102950238

      “I’m smiling and I’m happy,” he said.

      “I’m elated, it’s a day of courage, it’s a day of pride, it’s a day of victory. This is the day we’ve been waiting for.’

      Celebrating the Oct 7 attacks to a crowd of people waving flags and setting off fireworks.

      Sounds like a pretty solid endorsement for terrorism and antisemitism to me.

      You’d have to be dumb as rocks to say this stuff out loud on Australia day just days after the new hate speech laws came in.

      Oh good. Can we also do the same to all the sky news (or just Facebook news) bigoted commentators too ?

      When The Skull ranted neo-Nazi stuff in full uniform at Speakers’ Corner in the Domain in the 70’s crowds heckled and ridiculed him into irrelevance.

      Sometimes I think that’s better than 12 months in jail. There are many things that could be a better deterrent than 12 months in jail.

      They did eventually jail him for bashing a journalist but still. I just think regardless of what you want to say you should be able to say it and if you are strong enough in your convictions you’ll accept the consequences of saying it when they invariably come. And just so there’s no confusion I think the consequences should be more than a 12 month sentence in jail.
