So in this case, where he clearly pre-ambled the video with "this is a joke on my girlfriend, to take something she thinks is cute and make it do something horrific"...
Is it reasonable to convict him for a hate-crime?
I say no, it was a bad joke in poor taste.
Q1: What do you discern from the facts of the case?
Q2: Have you actually watched the original clip of him and the pug?Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

A man who filmed a pet dog giving Nazi salutes before posting the footage online has been fined £800.
Mark Meechan, 30, recorded his partner’s pug responding to statements such as “gas the Jews” and “sieg heil” by raising its paw before posting the footage on YouTube in April 2016.

It was a dark/bad joke, made by someone who prefaced the video with "this is a joke"
The judge didn't agree

The offensiveness of any statement is subjective. According to your "logic" either everyone is permitted to say anything, or all communication is prohibited.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
