A Neo-Nazi who a judge had just deemed to have good prospects of rehabilitation was filmed doing a Nazi salute as soon as he stepped outside the court.

      Freedom of speech is limited everywhere. Banning Nazi salutes isn’t one of the bad limitations. I’m so glad Justin Trudeau banned it in Australia.

            We don’t even have a bill of rights in Australia, let alone freedom of speech.

            Throw the book at him! He did it purely to test the new law, so it should be tested.
