Christopher Carrig, who was also sentenced for targeting a Jewish man at a bus stop, kept framed pictures of Nazi leaders in his bedroom
A young couple have been spared jail for spraying hateful neo-Nazi graffiti across a major university campus despite a court being told they have links to a known white-supremacist group.
Carrig, a member of neo-Nazi group the National Socialist Network, was also sentenced over an antisemitic incident from May in which he intimidated a 20-year-old man, who he targeted for being Jewish. A statement of agreed facts, presented at the sentencing, revealed he kept framed pictures of Nazi leaders in his bedroom and had Adolf Hitler as his phone screensaver.
The National Socialist Network “promotes neo-Nazi ideology, white supremacist and racist views, while also opposing multiculturalism and for a ‘white’-only Australia”, the document said.As the 20-year-old approached the man he could be heard saying “I found a Jew wearing TNs”, referring to a popular design of Nike shoe.
