Irish Times Pub reportedly paid $651 to avoid bad reviews from neo-Nazis Publican Nitin Parashar forked out cash after an incident on August 2 Neo-Nazi Jimeone Roberts and his friends were drinking at the Melbourne pub Bartender spat in their drink after noticing a far-right tattoo on Roberts Neo-Nazis have bragged on encrypted apps about extorting a payout from pub A publican has reportedly handed over hundreds of dollars to avoid negative reviews after a bartender spat in the drink of a customer with a far-right tattoo. Neo-Nazis in Melbourne are said to have bragged on encrypted social media channels about how Irish Times Pub manager Nitin Parashar forked over $651 after being threatened with a slew of bad Google reviews and complaints. The $651 sum is thought to have been a reference to the 51 people killed in the Christchurch Mosque shooting. The alleged threat rose from a dispute between a bartender and neo-Nazis at the pub in Melbourne’s CBD. Jimeone Roberts was drinking there on August 2 with fellow neo-Nazis when they confronted a bartender. The male Irish bartender spat in Roberts’ drink after noticing a ‘black sun’ tattoo on his shoulder. Two bartenders were later fired over the incident. (…) The confrontation degenerated into a slanging match including multiple homophobic slurs from Roberts. Roberts was recently sentenced to a community corrections order after he stuck up countless anti-Semitic posters around Melbourne. In private channels, on apps favoured for their lack of censorship, Melbourne neo-nazis bragged about forcing the pub to pay them $651 and demands for a public apology. (…) Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission and Australia’s leading anti-hate campaigner said he imagined people would be ‘applauding’ the bartenders. ‘I understand the disgust and rage they felt when they realised that they are serving hateful individuals who were probably toasting Hitler and fantasising about rounding up Australian Jewish men, women and children and taking them into open fields to be shot,’ he said. ‘This incident is a reminder that neo-Nazism is alive in our state and should send a chill down every Victorian’s spine since the rhetoric that these hardcore bigots are spewing online, can cross the line into real-world lethal attacks.’

Police in Victoria are investigating an allegation that a group of customers were given more than $600 by the manager of a Melbourne pub after an ugly confrontation that resulted in two staff members being fired. The incident happened at The Irish Times pub on Little Collins Street on Tuesday, August 2. A male bartender allegedly spat in the beer of Jimeone Roberts, 29, after taking issue with a neo-Nazi tattoo on his right shoulder. The tattoo in question is a Sonnenrad, or “sun wheel”, a symbol that was used by the Nazis in Germany and has since been adopted by neo-Nazis and white nationalists. The Herald Sun reports the pub’s manager, Nitin Parashar, paid Mr Roberts’ group $651 after they allegedly threatened to leave negative reviews online and go to court over the incident.
