Man guilty of hate crime for filming pug’s ‘Nazi salutes’

A Scottish YouTube comic trained his pug to lift it’s paw to “Seig Heil.” Not to make an actual Nazi pug, but to make a joke. As a result, he faces a year in prison. This, again, is in Britain.

Recommendation to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg: don’t go to Britain.

You’d think that, with the 1st Amendment, this sort of egregious betrayal of basic civil liberties would be impossible in the United States. You’d think. But do you want to bet on it?
