The male defendants were greeted on Wednesday with a huge round of applause, many of them waving and smiling to friends and relatives in the courtroom. They also then screened their faces from photographers with folders, one of which had the message "Free All Antifas" taped (in English) on its cover. When Lina E. herself was brought in a few minutes later, the applause was even louder and longer, with virtually the whole of the gallery that wasn't press standing up.
Hell yeah

Hansen said that the evidence showed that the group was not merely planning street-fighting methods, but targeted assaults aimed at seriously injuring or even killing their victims. "Terrorism is defined as using politically motivated violence to spread fear and horror either within the general population or within a certain group of people," he said.
nazis deserve to be terrorized you jackass
No, you see we have learned the lessons of our past. Namely that we must officially ban explicit Nazi symbols and ideology so that they can more artfully bed into the state, police, and security services. :germany-cool:
It wasn't until political analysts announced that Hitler lost his most recent debate that he shot himself.
"The fuhrer has been owned. He did a heckin whataboutism. Fascism has been defeated."
Ha I had that one teed up too but for a different reason
"Terrorism is defined as using politically motivated violence to spread fear and horror either within the general population or within a certain group of people,"
:thonk:
the mere existence of nazis is terrorism then. how strange that they're not going after them... how strange.
let me just search the internet a bit...ah
"She Called Police Over a Neo-Nazi Threat. But the Neo-Nazis Were Inside the Police.
Death threats linked to police computers and the discovery of far-right chat groups in police departments across Germany have fed concerns about far-right infiltration."

:curious-marx:
edit: not paywalledcw: some mentions of racism/nazism plus some hilarious BS about how "le west germany actually fixed policing from the ground up in the 50s" instead of what they actually did which was to just keep on trucking with the nazi fucks still there, pretty good otherwise
Much of the prosecution's case rested on the testimony of a member of her group who turned state's witness: 30-year-old Johannes D., who said before the Dresden Higher Regional Court that the four defendants had trained specifically for attacks on right-wing extremists. But when he himself stood trial in Meiningen in February, he allegedly said that it was merely a matter of normal martial arts training for physical exercise. Johannes D. was given only a suspended sentence of 18 months in Meiningen, adding to speculation that he had provided useful testimony against Lina E. to lighten his own punishment.

The article conveniently forgets to mention that this guy was cast out of Dreden's antifa for r*ping one of his comrades. The sex pest was then recruited as the key witness to build this case.
How is that not considered perjury when you testify two different things about the same event?

German anarchists pledged to cause one million euro of property damage for every year of the sentence. :cool-zone:
Uncritical support for our :meow-anarchist: comrades :rat-salute-2:
Looking out of the jail cell making sure comrades are getting their moneys worth in damage.
:sicko-wistful:
Saxony and Thuringia were part of the DDR actually. Which while it did have a nazi problem, never had a nazi problem that got to the point were people felt they needed to scout out key figures from organized nazi gangs and break their bones with hammers. That degree of fascist organization and militance somehow, mysteriously only developed after the wall came down.
There were some in the late GDR, but they kept their heads low to not get in trouble with the government. As soon as the Market reforms started and the social structures of the German Democratic Republic were made to collapse, these fash gangs started bloating in size.
The 90s are known as the "Baseball Bat Years" for that reason, due to the random violence by Nazi skinheads and the like, especially against known leftists, foreigners from former pro-Soviet states like Vietnam, Eastern European migrant workers, etc.
Those scum that used to shave their heads bald and seek out people to beat up are in some cases respected members of the community and politicians for the locally popular Alternative für Deutschland, which is the vanguard of reaction in the country and is dominant in some areas of Saxony, Thüringen, Brandenburg, etc.
Bonus context: West German libs think that the east has more nazis because the DDR did not indoctrinate people with liberalism and now they just can't help but love aUtHoRiTaRiAnS. :centrist:
It's almost as if people who have been fucked by liberalism are turning to the only politically acceptable alternative to liberalism.
They did turn back to the Left first... and the PDS (successor of the GDR's SED and predecessor of the LINKE) ended up doing a bunch of coalitions as junior partner to the SPD and help them out in neoliberal agendas without actually challenging the symptoms and lost most credibility over time.
The Left party is a mess (I should know, I'm somehow still a member) but the East German state branches are so much worse.
Lina E. was born in Kassel, central Germany, she showed interest in a career as a social worker working with disadvantaged youth, and during her studies wrote about how to deal with far-right radicalization among young people.
Step 1: The power of incredible violence
I propose we divide Germany back into it's 1550's borders, as a prank.
The greatest mistake of the victorious Entente powers was drafting the Versailles treaty as we know it, and not making it a treaty that shatters the German Kaiserreich back into little city-states.
huh?
it's aleady occupied, but sadly, the occupiers are friendly to the local nazis.
Again, such bullshit is hardly unique to Germany nowadays. And besides, most of its neighbors except for maybe the French part of Belgium, are actually worse.
interesting, what do you think makes wallonia an exception?
The PTB (Party of Labor of Belgium) got 13,8% in the 2019 elections and in recent polls they're as high as 20%. It's a demsoc party, so not that exciting, but overall the political climate of Wallonia is simply nowhere near as bad as the rest of Europe with the exception of Ireland.
The most recent poll (from March):
PS (Socdems) - 25,5%
MR (Conservatives) - 18,5%
PTB (Demsoc) - 17,6%
Ecolo (Green libs) - 12,8%
LE (libs) - 11,1%
DéFI (libs) - 4,9%
Others - 9,6%
Notice something? No big fash party. Flanders otoh is very fash and has been that way for over 20 years.
As for the why? As I understand it, Wallonia is relatively poor as to my knowledge it has been screwed over hard by de-industrialization, which also means a pretty high average unemployment. Is that enough to make it avoid the bullshit most of Europe goes through? Who knows, but somehow it just works differently over there.
Edit: The fash got 3,7% in 2019 and lost their only seat in parliament it seems. They had 4,9% in 2014.
Franko-bilge-rats stay winning over the Dutch bog krauts :sicko-pig:
I'm shocked she only got 5, if it was Burgerland she easily would've gotten triple that. Still free her
