Weapons accused who allegedly supported Christchurch attack 'fixated' by social media, court hears - ABC News

An Adelaide father caught with illegal weapons during a police raid triggered by Facebook posts he is alleged to have posted in support of the Christchurch terrorist attack had a "fixation with social media", a court has heard.The raid was prompted by comments made on social media

Two flick knives and an extendable baton were found under his bed, and a court previously heard he was found with a loaded firearm underneath his mattress. "She doesn't believe he intended on using the weapons to engage in violence or any other sinister acts against members of the broader Australian community," she said.Vinzelberg's arrest followed the Christchurch attack.

But Magistrate Nick Alexandrides questioned whether he could take that hardship into account during sentencing because it stemmed from the social media posts, and not the weapons offences."What extent, if any, can I take into account that these weapons were held by someone who, at the same time, was disseminating messages of hate over social media towards a particular group?"

Wow the ‘thought police’ are out in force. Welcome to the New World Order.

DISGRACEFUL SENTENCE 'Judge Lacava acknowledged the brothers' 'tragic' upbringing at the hands of 'violent drug-using parents''. Yet another case of the judiciary being totally out-of-touch with community standards and expectations. Thoroughly disgraceful! A Community Based Order!!!!
