Michan recorded a video in 2016 and published it on YouTubewhere the dog raised the foot under the phrase "sieg heil».

Michan - comedian and video blogger who performs under the name Count dankula - Said the trick was a joke, but last month he was convicted of publishing “rudely offensive” material.

Sheriff Derek O'Carroll that the published videos "contain threatening, anti-Semitic and racist materials."

In turn, Michan said that the case against him creates a “dangerous precedent” for freedom of speech.

Recall, Michana was arrested in 2016 for publishing a video with a zigzaguyu pug. He scored over three million views. At trial, the man claimed that he shot a video for his girlfriend. The girl came out in defense of the guy, saying that he never insulted the Jews, and admitted that the movie with the pug was shot in order to “annoy her”. In March, 2018, Michana was convicted of inciting hatred.
