On Wednesday, a British court found vlogger Mark Meechan (AKA Count Dankula) guilty of a hate crime for posting a video of a “grossly offensive” prank on YouTube. He’s now facing jail time for the joke.
The 30-year-old, a self-described “s***poster” and free speech advocate, trained his girlfriend’s pug dog to raise his paw, mimicking a Nazi salute. Meechan filmed the trick and posted the footage to YouTube, where it has racked up over three million views. Meechan was reported to authorities, and in April of 2016, was arrested for his alleged hate crime.
Hours after the guilty verdict was handed down, Meechan sat down with journalist Tommy Robinson.
