In what London police described as, "a lot like Hinkley Jr. with worse taste," a Chinese student was arrested after trying to break into Buckingham Palace with a knife and reportedly threatening to kill the Queen to show his undying love for Vice contributor and noted Holocaust denier Sam Kriss, who once described the Queen as a "horce-faced, inbred Nazi." He appeared in court on Tuesday.
University of Sheffield student Hang Zhang, 25, was arrested at around 2:45pm local time on Friday, after attempting to break into the royal residence and allegedly threatening to kill the Queen, "so that Sam would finally notice him." Zhang claimed that though he commented frequently on Kriss' articles and even tweeted at him once, he never received a response.
Following his arrest, Zhang was taken to a local police station and was searched by officers who found a folding pocket knife in his shoe.
Although Zhang reportedly threatened to kill the Queen, that charge was later dropped on account of his mental health, MailOnline reported, after Zhang told officers that he was a fan of Sam Kriss' recent theoretical works.
However, he still faces a charge of possessing an offensive weapon and offensive opinion about the deeper meaning behind Star Wars: the Force Awakens. He will appear in court again on Wednesday, the Evening Standard reports.
Police say they are not treating the incident as terrorism-related. The Queen was not believed to have been inside Buckingham Palace at the time of the attempted trespass.

He's an ex-poster here, a reminder of a time when ex-lf/rhizzone was more focused on 'theory'/po-mo/frankfurt/psychoanalysis etc, rather than ml/mlm/history/corn/deep state/conspiracy etc which is the main orientation now (probably for the best - although less likely to be published anywhere). The shit he gets is mostly playful ribbing.

that sig being nothing more than a reference to a hilarious post made by Me
i do think the whole thing stems from the fact that he probably did make a holocaust denial joke at some point in one of the zanier more fyad or whatever periods of LF but like in a very ironic way. it would be damaging to his career if ppl rly thought he was a holocaust denier obviously but until Getfiscal is the Head Stalin in Charge we can't prosecute him yet
Cuntessa_Markievicz posted:Ah ok thank you everyone. I still hate him though and would still consider launching a gofundme for him to get a hair transplant (the fucker is going severely bald and isnt even fucking 30)
wtf
anyway hes vain and does hatable word salad wank articles about game of thrones for vice.com or whatever but hes smart and actually a good writer when hes not overindulging himself. i assume he mostly gets shit here because it's funny and also because hes become successful and left us

Can anyone post those many chatlogs between Kriss and Baskhar Sunkara wherein they exchange definitive evidence that the Holocaust did not exist "as a discrete Jewish event" e: Oh someone just mentioned that on this page. Im running out of Kriss to mock
