in the case of:
The People's Community of Valturus [Claimant]
vs.
The Second Confederacy of Kenche Gle [Defendant]
Application:
Claimant nation(s): The People's Community of Valturus
Defendant: The Second Confederacy of Kenche Gle
Date(s) of alleged infractions: 11th of September 2017 to present.
Summary of facts and how this broke the law/rules or violated the Constitution: Article 8.2.1 and Article 8.2.2 have been violated.
The potential defendant has already been brought to trial for examples of previous behaviour, leading to the The Queendom of Marrigoldriia v. The United Socialist States of Kenche Gle case. The potential defendant has tried to, in my view, sneakily avoid blatant breaking of the rules by posting text in binary, which then translated linked to a video titled 'I hate fucking niggers', among various other offensive and shameful behaviour over several months of various degrees of seriousness and aggressiveness. The potential defendant has seemingly ignored the advice given to him from the Court in his last trial, choosing to not be "less callous" with his words and actions since.

Remedy/Remedies sought: A two month ban from the region and a six month mute from the regional Discord is being requested to the court.
I, The People's Community of Valturus, hereby certify the above to be correct to the best of my knowledge.
The Minister of Justice has judged your application meritorious. Trial transcript can be viewed here.
Judgement
ALAMEI, MINISTER OF JUSTICE:
1. The defendant, though allowed more than ample time, has failed to respond to summons.
2. While posted under the guise of humor, the video shared by the defendant contains little but unabashed racism. Humor means many different things to many different people, but bigotry is far beyond the realm of acceptable discourse. The defendant has shown no substantial improvement from the last time he was called upon to testify under nearly identical circumstances.
3. By employing racial slurs in a deliberately offensive context, the defendant has contravened Articles 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 of the Constitution, which proscribe content which is malicious and which aims to upset others.
4. In the Court's view, the defendant has demonstrated a continued propensity for deliberately offensive and egregiously insensitive behavior, against its own strong advice. The nature of the defendant's "jokes", made in full knowledge of this advice, are extreme to the degree that they can be construed only as being deliberately offensive. Trolling and bigotry will find no welcome here.
IT IS ORDERED the defendant be banned for 9 months beginning on this date.
Judgment delivered:
