DaveyDenoon Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Arrested? Admittedly it's in pretty poor taste and not particularly funny (OK very poor taste and particularly unfunny) but arrested??? A wee bit over the top, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote the arresting officer: "Posting offensive material online or in any other capacity will not be tolerated". That's bloody terrifying.

That's bloody terrifying. Uploading a video online to the general public and making a dog appear to give Nazi salutes by lifting it's paw is one thing Uploading a video online to the general public and make the dog to react by continually chanting "Do you want to go gas some Jews" is another. I see he has posted an apology video where he says it was just a joke and he is not racist in any way shape or form Having the imbecilic mindset that would even make you consider saying to a dog "Do you want to gas some Jews" suggests otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not to me. What's terrifying is that the police are arresting people for being offensive - not inciting violence, but merely being offensive. It's none of the states business if someone's being offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I thought there were 2 threads about the same person at the top of the page. Wasnt very funny, but not particularly offensive, just stupid. If being offensive was a criminal offence, my boss would be serving life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 If this happened in China, Russia or the middle east somewhere we would rightly criticise the lack of freedom afforded to the people of those countries and yet here we are in 21st century Scotland. Nothing, absolutely nothing, should be off limits when it comes to comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
