Who is dv’ing this comment? Yeah I find the pug Nazi salute distasteful, but it doesn’t discount anything you said.

IIRC wasn't there a bit more too it than "just" making a pug nazi salute?

No not really. He also taught it to respond to the phrase “gas the jews” with excitement (my bet is he used it for “go for a walk” to train the dog,) but it’s pretty clear from the video it was all just a joke that while it may be insensitive doesn’t deserve jailtime. Jewish comedian David Baddiel evidently even showed support saying Meecham shouldn’t go to jail for simply an offensive joke video. Video is still up on archive, title is “M8 ur dugs a nazi” if you want to watch it yourself, it certainly seems like edgelord material but it also does seem like a clear joke, he even states his intentions from the outset in the video.
