Jacob Hersant had walked free from a courtroom at the Supreme Court of Victoria on Friday after avoiding additional jail time over an attack on a group of hikers in regional Victoria in 2021. As he walked out of court, alongside fellow right-wing extremist Thomas Sewell, Hersant turned to media and said "heil Hitler" before raising his right arm at a slight angle.

I think that guy might be slightly aligned to the right
I just can't fathom what would prompt someone to be so daft.
It's as though he doesn't really understand the ideas he's playing around with, like it's just a game.
He was emboldened by being let off with a slap on the wrist after doing what he did to those hikers.
He thought “there will be a media presence when I leave court, I might as well get more exposure for my demented cause by doing something outrageously offensive”.
Yes it’s illegal now you stupid nazi fuck.
Why the fuck don't we put these people in detention centres? Unlike asylum seekers they actually deserve to be there
Because the judge(s and the system they represent) serves white supremacy (this one literally wished them good luck before sending them on their merry way).
Because Nazis always convince the rest of us that punishing Nazis is the same as crushing freedom. And we all allow it instead of throwing salt at them and banishing them to the Sonoran desert forevermore... Like a bunch of chumps.
