Crazy stuff.

"THE SCOT who trained his dog to respond to his calls of "gas the Jews" has been found guilty of posting an offensive message online."

A man being sentenced for a JOKE, obviously.

Oh,my apologies. Saying "Gas the Jews" while getting your dog to ( seemingly) do a Nazi salute and then video it is comedy!

Any racial hate crime that is proven in a court of law should be dealt with by a prison sentence. So yes, I do think it's ok.

It was clearly done for comedic reasons, and clearly not put out there as hate speech.
Context is hugely important.

Have you never been to a comedy show?
Or watched any Netflix comedy specials?

Now, I have a very good sense of humour and I hope this comes across when I post on this board, but I find absolutely nothing funny at all in this story.

I think you may be taking the world too seriously. Perhaps best give yourself a break from media and news for a few days?

Subjective is subjective.

Telling a racial joke is a hate crime? Your going to need a big prison, the size of Greenland.

Don't really get that. Sorry.

I just meant, lighten up perhaps?

And the dog gets off scot free. The world has indeed gone mad.

Fair point, everyone can have a diferent point of view. As I said, a court of law has seen it differently

I'll say it again, "Gas the jews" is not and will not ever be funny.
