Mark my words now, this is a bad fucking idea…
Angry Christchurch court scenes: Far-right pair launch diatribe at media outside court
Two people charged over distributing an objectionable publication have launched a diatribe outside court, saying the allegations amounted to a “political attack” and calling media “journalistic whores”.
Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer, hosts of far-right conspiracy theory website Counterspin Media, appeared in the Christchurch District Court jointly charged that on February 23 this year at Wellington they distributed a documentary deemed an objectionable publication under the Films, Videos and Publications Classifications Act 1993.
…whatever clown is responsible for knee jerking the arrest of these two should be taken out the back and slapped until the stupid comes off them!
This reeks of a knee jerk with no forethought.
These two are the real fucking deal, to snap them with this bullshit is like arresting a Mafia Boss on a driving infringement.
They’ve been charged with refusing to provide their computer passwords, so what! Anyone with half a fucking brain would refuse to give the cops your passwords and fight it out in court, charging them with that is bullshit.
The objectionable material sounds like a copy of the Christchurch Terror attack, that’s hardly earth shaking in any way shape or form.
They are selling this as State repression and will surf the victimisation martyrdom with all the self interest of Cameron Slater and Dr Sharma combined.
WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED?
The SIS SHOULD have gotten actual judicial warrants and have spied on them legally, put together a strong and clear case for conspiracy and arrest them for that, what has happened is some bullshit ill thought out knee jerk created by the Fire and Fury Stuff doco to generate charges which they will fight and gain even more legitimacy and notoriety from.
It’s like the State can’t help but make things worse here!
If they had been seen as the real legitimate threats that they are, this would have been handled with the professionalism and care that it demands, instead of that we’ve had a panicked Police anxious to look like they are doing something because woke Twitter is getting angry.
They will fight these charges and gain more influence and notoriety.
This has been appallingly handled and someone needs a smack.
These guys are the real deal, this demands a far smarter and far more ruthless response than this sloppy bullshit!

It’s kind of amusing to watch though eh @ Martyn. I never liked popcorn that much but I’m being fed a husk or two while it all plays out.
It really does need to play out though, and the sooner the better because it might dawn on the PMC what it is they’re ekshully having to deal with (in this space, going forward)
Beks darling Kitterings was once a decent sort of human being before her PMC capture (for example) as were a few otherings.
It’s betterentertainment though than watching the circus. Please let it rip – the sooner the better
“What should have happened” and why this didn’t happen is the key point here. Could it be that saying something is ‘a’ then proving that they actually are ‘a’ are worlds apart here.
Don’t like these scummy people but someone has been a tad hasty I agree better to get them properly.
Totally agree
Sod these fascists, no mercy, and no apologia is needed on their behalf from TDB.
I hope you enjoy the future you are hoping for.
Pictures paint a thousand words.
It’s a response to the regime media that is thoroughly deserved.
No it’s a very, very immature man.
agree
As you say, Martyn, this is related to the disgusting Christchurch counterjihad attack. The interesting thing is that they seem not to have actually distributed anything that has been classified as objectionable by the Chief Censor at all.
They linked to a stupid ‘documentary’ called ‘The Three Faced Terrorist’ which some a**istic face blind guy who couldn’t recognize that three photos of Tarrant showed the same guy and posted a stupid Word document that ‘proved’ that Tarrant’s assault rifle was actually a BB gun and “Nobody Died At Al-Noor Mosque” (FACT CHECK: Untrue).
The Word doc hasn’t been classified as objectionable, though it probably should be given some of the images contained within, and if linking to a website about a video, a video that only after you post the link later gets classified as objectionable, means you can be hunted down and have your personal life ransacked by the less than trustworthy fellas at NZ Police, I would say that we have a problem.
Is this dodgy interpretation of the law only applicable if the classification happens the day after you post the link? What if you link to a website and then a year later the website owner posts objectionable material? The police would obviously love to interpret the latter as constituting you committing a crime, everyone else, not so much.
This is the sought of dumbfuckery you get when Cuddles Coster treats Stuff or the Herald as intelligence briefings.
Seems they poked the bear one too many times.
Martyn, these are not the same tame NAZI fashion fetishists of your childhood.
Ask disinformation researchers to show you the content this current generation is sharing & liking on Telegram, Facebook & Twitter.
Direct threats against individuals and groups.
Hence
“Mr Luxon” doing what he has done gives legitimacy to the most extreme views in our community. Doing what Mr Luxon has done gives confidence to those who have threatened and harassed our health care workers, our journalists, many politicians in this House, and citizens around NZ”

If you think I am at all overreacting then first listen to Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa ( @sanjanah on twitter ) from The Disinformation Project.
