Topic typo: *seig heil (fucking autocorrect)
http://bit.ly/2tosMRB Scottish comedian and YouTuber Markus Meechan, better known as Count Dankula, is facing a year in prison for recording and uploading a video where he taught his girlfriend’s pet dog how to “seig heil” on command. As Heat Street reported earlier this year the viral video did not amuse Scottish police, prompting his arrest. On Wednesday, Meechan posted an update about his case. “Legal aid application was rejected,” he posted on Twitter. “I’m fucked." Holy shit, I used to think Scotland was cool... The bit/joke in question was pretty tasteless but come the fuck on. Imagine being arrested for making a bum joke once in a while? This is a scary time we live in. --- AKA Level 36 ForestWanderer / ObjectiveLogic http://www.poorcouplesfoodguide.com - Pizza Time! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why was he denied d lawyer though? The only thing I can think of is that in a country where you can apparently be jailed for making an offensive joke like this, no lawyer wants to be known as the attorney who defended said person. Which is kind of fucked up because there's public defenders who literally argue on behalf of admitted murderers :| --- AKA Level 36 ForestWanderer / ObjectiveLogic http://www.poorcouplesfoodguide.com - Pizza Time! ...

The dude is funny and has had a pretty good attitude about the whole thing despite his situation. He said the cop who arrested him was super gung ho and called him a Nazi and crap.
When the bigger YouTube news stations picked up on his story he was upset they called him Count Donkula. lol. (Scarce and one other I can't remember) --- PSN: obsurdrandom ... Copied to Clipboard!

He taught his girlfriend's pug to do a Nazi salute when someone said "Sieg Heil". Apparently, in the UK/Scottland, that is considered a hate crime or propagating hate speech. Officially, he was arrested for publishing offensive material online. Specifically, he was arrested for making this video: Which is bizarre because he says he's teaching the dog to do that because it's the least cute thing he can think of, to mess with his girlfriend who's always gushing over how cute her pug is. --- ...
