naruki_oniVile right-wingnut asshat faces up to 10 years in jail for a crime he committed in 1989.
His victim? The truth.
Yep, that's it. He lied about the Holocaust, denying its existence.
So he is finally facing trial in Austria, where freedom of speech apparently has rather strict limitations.
The smarmy bastard is now claiming he's reformed and no longer denies it, hoping for a lenient sentence. Get this, the author of several books on Nazis says "I'm not an expert on the Holocaust."
I hate this.
On the one hand, I really want people like him to die. They serve no good purpose in the world save as a bad example, and we have all of those we need. His death will only make things better.
On the other hand, there is no fucking way he deserves to be punished for denying the Holocaust. If they want to get him on hate speech or something that's a bit different, but this is completely absurd.
Sadly, I think this is where the US is heading under its current "leadership". And, more sadly, at least one or two people who read this will be happy about that.
