TEENAGER SENTENCED TO NINE MONTHS FOR SHIT MEMES
Connor Scothern, British Bin Laden
A teenager convicted of being a member of an Alt-Right troll group in the UK, has had his sentence halved from 18 months to 9 months at the Court of Appeal on the grounds that he was only a "minor" at the time that he posted dumb Stormertard memes.
In the UK it is illegal to post crappy Anglin-tier content and upset minorities.
As reported by NottinghamshireLive:
A Nottingham teenager jailed for membership of the banned neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action (NA) has had his sentence halved by the Court of Appeal.Connor Scothern, 19, was handed an 18-month term of detention in a Young Offenders’ Institution in June after a jury convicted the teenager of belonging to the extreme right-wing group.The organisation, labelled “racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic” by then-home secretary Amber Rudd, was proscribed after a series of rallies and incidents, including praise of the murder of MP Jo Cox.Following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court, Scothern was convicted alongside three others – former Miss Hitler beauty pageant contestant Alice Cutter, Mark Jones and Garry Jack – after all four denied membership of NA...At the Court of Appeal, his lawyers argued as he was sentenced after turning 18, Scothern would have to serve two-thirds of his sentence before being considered eligible for release by the Parole Board due to the nature of his offence.They said if he had been sentenced for the same offence when he had committed it as a youth, the only possible custodial sentence would have been a youth detention and training order, where an 18-month order would have resulted in nine months’ detention before being released under supervision.His lawyers, therefore, argued the original sentence should not have exceeded nine months in a Young Offenders’ Institution and “was not only wrong in principle but was also unlawful”.
At the time of his earlier conviction, Arnold was described as “one of the most active members of the group” and “considered future leadership material.”
Another leading member of NA told the trial how Scothern had “driven himself into poverty” by travelling to member meetings as well as self-funding 1,500 stickers bearing Adolf Hitler’s image and calling for a “final solution” – in reference to the Nazis’ genocide of Jews.
Yes, that's literally the worst thing this idiotic kid did, and at a time when, thanks to the Alt-Right and its shit leaders (Anglin, Weev, Enoch, Spencer, Greg Johnson, Millennial Woes, etc), gas chamber memes were literally everywhere on the internet.
It's stupid to send anyone to jail for shitty memes, but if anyone should be jailed then how about banging up Andrew Anglin or Mike Enoch? I'm sure the UK government could use its pull to get those characters extradited from America, possibly in return for Julian Assange.
