Judge describes businessman as ‘unrepentant’ for distributing the video online

A Christchurch businessman who shared a video of worshippers being slaughtered at a New Zealand mosque has been sentenced to 21 months in prison.

Philip Arps had earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing the video, which was live-streamed on Facebook by a gunman on March 15 as he began killing 51 people at two mosques. Judge Stephen O’Driscoll said that when questioned about the video, Arps had described it as “awesome” and showed no empathy toward the victims. The judge said Arps had strong and unrepentant views about the Muslim community, and had compared himself to Rudolf Hess, a Nazi leader under Adolf Hitler.O’Driscoll said Arps had sent the video to 30 associates, and had also asked somebody to insert cross-hairs and include a kill count.

Oh wow. Well thats stupid

I'll bet Jacinda Horseface is happy

Absurd on EVERY level

Miscarriage of justice.

That just added New Zealand to my do not travel ever list … wow

Shocking.

Unbelievable. 🙄 jacindaardern New Zealand off the list.

S'plain this!

Obscene. Why do you people in the UK, Australia and NZ allow your fascist governments to censor you?

Truly Orwellian. It’s a disgusting government that perpetrates such a violation of liberty. They should be overthrown.

Crime against humanity from New Zealand

The communist left silenced another one.

Why not life? Or execution? After all, sharing videos on social media is nothing less than satanic. It should be banned. Can't understand why the British would not promote their own misdeeds, rather than rely on this poor sod.

Scary to see this. Big brother is watching.

VontrapCaptain Being jailed for sharing this video violates this human's right to free speech. Free speech can be disgusting and unpleasant.

What kind of shit hole has New Zealand turned into?

Then what? Crime System Racism Violence Hate

Mao laughs..

scary!

new Zealand is officially a garbage County

An gets almost two years in prison for not committing any crime.. There, I fixed it

this is exactly what the mosque shooter was hoping for

The land of white Supremacists

We've lost New Zealand.

Shithole countries for $1000...

But world leaders assured me the New Zealand PM's response was a model for how to respond to a mass shooting!

Fascism anyone?

I have a copy of it on my hard drive. Guess I'll be uploading and sharing it around. :)

1984 is a cookbook!

A skewed sense of justice to be sure.

What in the hell? Freedom of speech is dead.

Leftists are turning into psychotic fascists and this will end in a revolution against the media and left wing politicians who are pushing this neo-communist bullshit on everyone.

Ah fascism. New Zealand must be so proud of what they’re becoming.

when did NZ turn into a fascist state?

Wtf is wrong with u NZ?

The answer to vile speech like this is more speech. Not violence and not it’s state-sponsored version prison.

Insane.

Here is another photo when they caught the guy.

I feel bad for this man. Guess I'll take NZ off my bucket list.

Kristallnacht can’t be far off.

Leftist fascism

21 months? Jeez......

🤡🌎

Burn all the books.

Fascism.

That will teach the subjects about defying the state and it's agenda. Turn in your Liberty at the gun buyback table.

No guns, no free speech.

Yeah, that's why we have a 2nd Amendment in Burger Land.

But at least he's not speaking German, right guyz?!

Quebec legislature expected to pass Bill 21 late SundayBill 21 will ban teachers, police, government lawyers and others in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols such as Muslim head coverings and Sikh turbans You know it's good policy when they pass it in the middle of the night Shame! Another dictator. Notwithstanding is right in the legislation, so another kick in the face to democracy. Ok your going after head dress and turbans, but you must also include catholic symbols as well. What about wedding rings? are they religious?

Groups launch challenge of Quebec’s secularism bill one day after it becomes lawBill 21 passed by a vote of 73 to 35 Sunday night after the Coalition Avenir Quebec used the mechanism of closure to end debate on the bill Hard to tell if that will succeed. Judges are likely prudent on issues of division of powers concerning Quebec ... constitutional crises are easy to spark There is no issue with a man wearing a turban nor a woman wearing a headscarf as you can still see their faces. The covering or partial covering of just a woman’s face is less about religion and more about subjugation - we don’t allow that in Canada, that’s why we’ve fought wars. These racist settlers will not do. You are guests here. Rude ones at that.
