The judge, Mr Recorder M Chawla KC, withdrew any lawful defences from Olax Outis, who, continuing their protest, refused to stand for the judge throughout the trial, instead only standing out of respect for the jury whenever they were brought in or out of the court.

So fucking based.

Love that while the UK leadership may be a lot of racists and bigots, the people luckily aren’t pieces of shit. Hopefully they can vote in better representation to reflect that in coming elections.

«Never again is now» is such a good slogan

Its a short article, but it actually feels good to read. The judge tried to fuck him over and the guy represented himself, but the jurors saw through the bullshit.

Every now and then the good guys win one.

I think he represented his position well.

The judge interrupted several times in the first few sentences, telling Olax that references to Genocide were inadmissible. Court security were then ordered to remove Olax to the cells, and the judge summed up the case and sent the jury away to deliberate without the defendant present.

Unusually, Olax was not even returned to the court to hear the verdict.

Hmmm yes much legal system, very justice.

Direct link to the text of his full closing speech which is excellent.

Wow, love seeing good news sometimes

Jury nullification has its place. This is one of them.

I am shocked at how free speech has been censored in so many western countries. A requirement to prove your statements, fine. A prohibition on patently false statements, sure. Let’s put guardrails up that nerf clearly bad actors like holocaust deniers and other bigots that target large swaths of humanity.

But being arrested protesting AGAINST genocide? Holy hell, things have gotten bad over there. As a Canadian, I feel sorry for my political parents.

My handler in the CIA taught me how to do graffiti. I think now that was his way of setting me up. God damn Illuminati! Can't even masturbate in your window anymore without getting roped into serving the greater good of the police state, amirite guys? Everyone understands these normative references I make, yea?
