I dunno exactly what it was they were putting on their site, but surely it's more harmful to actually give these kind of people an excuse? All this does is give them even more of a voice. Unless there's an actual danger of their behaviour directly leading to anti-semitic violence then I think they should be able to say whatever they like. A couple of crazy Nazis on the internet is not gonna turn ordinary people into Jew-mudering holocaust-deniers ffs.

The published material included images of murdered Jews alongside cartoons and articles ridiculing ethnic groups.

Judge Rodney Grant told the men their material was "abusive and insulting" and had the potential to cause "grave social harm".

He added: "Such offences as these have, by their very nature, the potential to cause grave social harm, particularly in a society such as ours which has, for a number of years now, been multi-racial.

This does not really make sense to me. I reckon it's shit like this that causes more social harm in a "multicultural society" as 1. it gives them more of a platform and 2. it gives them something to use for their own cause. Haven't we learned this yet?

I don't know what was actually on their website, but I can't imagine them being convicted of anything in the US, where their website is hosted.

That was a hard punishment too. In Sweden they'd gotten a couple of months at most in an "F" prison.
