Varg Vikernes found guilty of hate crimes

Black metal musician Kristian "Varg" Vikernes, has been found guilty by a French court of inciting racial hatred and glorifying war crimes through his blog postings. The court handed Vikernes a six-month suspended sentence and fined him roughly $10,000. Vikernes, who was not present for the verdict, has denied authoring the blogs in question. As you may recall, the Norwegian was originally arrested last July in France on suspicion of plotting terror attacks. He was released shortly thereafter due to a lack of evidence.

You fcking losers.

suspended sentence means he's put on probation, and the 6 months of jail time is "hung over his head" and he may have to serve some or all of it if he fcks up on probation.

No it means he will be suspended over the band Sentenced playing 6 months straight.

and i guess being an integral part of the scene that spawned modern black metal isn't enough to be considered a pioneer, wow what an assumption to make..
