Left-wing extremist Lina E.has been found guilty in a German court of leading a series of violent attacks on neo-Nazis. The sprawling trial has sparked controversy and fears of extremism driven by leftist ideology.

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

    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.
