Canadian Journalist Duncan Kinney Charged for Spray-Painting 'Actual Nazi' on 14th Waffen SS Monument, Faces 10 Years in Prison
Nov 29, 2024, 01:40 PM
Duncan Kinney, a journalist in Alberta, Canada, faces charges for vandalizing a monument dedicated to the 14th Waffen SS, a unit associated with Nazi Germany. Kinney allegedly spray-painted the words "Actual Nazi" on the memorial in Edmonton in 2021. This act has led to his classification as defacing a 'protected war memorial,' which could result in a sentence of up to 10 years in prison if convicted. The incident has sparked controversy, particularly in light of previous events where Canadian authorities faced criticism for honoring a Nazi soldier in parliament. Kinney's case has raised concerns about the treatment of dissent in Canada regarding historical narratives related to World War II.
