Neo-Nazi Sentenced For Anti-Gay Attack
Maintains Innocence, Blasts Ruling, Reality

A neo-nazi alleges a Swedish judge unfairly sentenced him to three months for his role in an anti-gay attack. 23-year old Simon Lindberg and a drunken friend entered gay group RFSL's headquarters last May and attacked several members. Upon receiving a three-month sentence for his role in that attack, Lindberg issued a stern - and nonsensical - statement against the presiding judge, calling the ruling "political":

The lay judges were swayed by who I am, and have not judged professionally. There is no evidence, and in such cases we have a principle of justice which says that one should acquit, not convict.
Lindberg must have failed to remember that he admitted to being at the scene of the crime, although he himself claims he only went there to talk politics.

Someone cue Alanis Morissette.
