Sargon of Akkad - Carl Benjamin - BREAKING: Count Dankula Convicted (#GrosslyOffensive) Aired: 2018-03-20 Duration: 06:01 === Comedian's Conviction Controversy (05:12) === [00:00:00] Count Danglars just been convicted. [00:00:02] He's been found guilty of causing under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. [00:00:12] That's right. [00:00:14] It's a crime to be grossly offensive. [00:00:17] He'll be sentenced at two o'clock. [00:00:24] I'd rather just spear on what I think in the fact that what he's been convicted of is telling a joke. [00:00:32] It's a joke. [00:00:34] He's been convicted. [00:00:34] The judge did not accept, the judge did not believe that it was simply to annoy his girlfriend. [00:00:39] The judge believed he purposely intended to cause mass offence. [00:00:43] That's his purpose. [00:00:45] Where in reality, if he did want to cause mass offence, who cares? [00:00:50] We're not allowed to offend people? [00:00:53] You can joke about the Irish. [00:00:55] You can joke about the English. [00:01:02] He said, let me go back to what he said. [00:01:04] He said that it was grossly offensive. [00:01:07] He's been convicted of it being grossly offensive. [00:01:09] Three million people watched that video. [00:01:11] Not one person made a complaint. [00:01:14] Three million people watched the video. [00:01:15] Not one person made a complaint. [00:01:17] It couldn't have been that grossly offensive. [00:01:20] And in context, it was a joke. [00:01:22] But right now, right now, he's facing prison. [00:01:27] So the leaders of the Jewish communities as well said that they were really upset about it. [00:01:31] They had a lot of- Not one person made a complaint. [00:01:34] Not one person made a complaint. [00:01:35] He didn't make a complaint. [00:01:36] The one person that they got a statement of is the Scottish Police hate crime representatives. [00:01:42] They went to him. [00:01:44] Not one person made a complaint. [00:01:46] The judge said you have to keep in mind reasonable enlightenment of a multi-racial society. [00:01:51] Yeah, the judge said you have to keep in mind the reasonable enlightenment of a multi-racial society. [00:01:57] So as we become more diverse and more multicultural, you can't speak. [00:02:01] Okay? [00:02:02] You cannot joke. [00:02:03] You certainly cannot offend. [00:02:05] The description of it being a joke is not the magic one. [00:02:11] Yeah, the description. [00:02:12] But comedians joke about this stuff. [00:02:14] Comedians joke every day. [00:02:15] Comedians joke on TV shows. [00:02:17] Comedians joke at theatres. [00:02:18] It's a joke. [00:02:19] It's a joke. [00:02:21] It doesn't matter that it's a joke, no. [00:02:24] It doesn't matter that it's a joke. [00:02:28] I can't believe this is that judge. [00:02:31] How anyone can't watch it and see that it's a joke? [00:02:34] When you go through the man's history, you can see he's got no Nazi past. [00:02:37] He's not a racist. [00:02:38] He's a self-admitted communist. [00:02:41] He's told you that himself! [00:02:42] Part 3 of the defensive was the fact that he uploaded a video and edited it and it took him three days to put the video in. [00:02:48] That's why he's a defensive. [00:02:50] He said he should have taken the video down. [00:02:53] And once he realised the video was offensive, he should have taken it down. [00:03:00] It's part of our right not to offend people. [00:03:02] So he said he didn't believe that he was offended. [00:03:03] It's part of our right not to offend people. [00:03:09] Yeah, the video is threatening, because apparently seeing a little dog lift its paw up under the command gas of Jews would scare people. [00:03:19] So once again for people just joining, what's the verdict? [00:03:22] People just joining the verdict is that Count Dangler has been convicted and found guilty under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. [00:03:29] He will be sentenced at two o'clock. [00:03:31] He will go back in the sentence at two o'clock where he could be sent to prison. [00:03:36] And if you care about free speech, if you care about your rights, if you care about people who are free to joke. [00:03:44] If you told a joke about the Irish, you wouldn't go down. [00:03:47] You certainly wouldn't be convicted under the communications act. [00:03:50] Anyway. [00:03:53] I hope there's lots of Jewish people that watch this afterwards and are as offended at the fact that a man's been convicted for a joke video. [00:04:01] David Badiel, it came out in court that David Badiel, who's one of the most famous Jews in Britain, he's the Jewish comedian. [00:04:08] He has come out in support of Count Dankla as how ridiculous this court trial is. [00:04:13] What this court trial is, I don't even believe, is about the fact that Jews are offended. [00:04:17] What this is about is implementing laws that silence people and stop people talking, joking, criticising and having speech. [00:04:24] That's what this is about, in my opinion. [00:04:28] And think about this. [00:04:29] We've had a man who made a joke video. [00:04:32] He made a joke video. [00:04:33] He's come to court, he's been convicted. [00:04:35] We have a Kutz march every single year through our capital city. [00:04:39] We have Hezbollah flags, which are terrorist organisations flag. [00:04:42] We have hate preacher after hate preacher after hate preacher across this country I'm in right now who are anti-Semitic on a daily basis in their sermons in their mosques. [00:04:50] They're not being convicted, they're not being dragged to court on hate speech. [00:04:53] This is very selective in who they prosecute. [00:04:56] It's selective and this is done to send a message to people to say shut up speaking, shut up criticising and shut up joking when it comes to our multiracial diverse community that we now have. === Freedom of Speech Verdict (01:04) === [00:05:07] And the sentence is at two o'clock. [00:05:09] So at two o'clock we'll be going back in there. [00:05:11] He's there. [00:05:12] Do you know what? [00:05:12] It was quite emotional to watch because even before he was getting, even before the conviction was read out, his partner's holding her hand and I know what that's like. [00:05:20] I know what it's like for his, I know it's like for his mum. [00:05:22] His mum's now getting a phone call saying he's been convicted. [00:05:25] They're all panicking and worrying that the man's going to go to jail because he made a joke video. [00:05:29] He made a video that was a joke. [00:05:31] Our laws are a joke. [00:05:33] Someone's game, what was the verdict? [00:05:34] The verdict was he's been found guilty under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. [00:05:40] I mentioned that they do mention freedom of speech. [00:05:43] Yeah, they mentioned freedom of speech but said that there's no argument to it because he was offensive. [00:05:49] Yeah, to a specific minority. [00:05:52] How many of you people are offended? [00:05:54] How many of you people are grossly offended when you see sermons by hate preachers or you'll see what they're saying? [00:06:00] That doesn't matter though.
