If this happened in America I don't think it would be an issue if a mob killed the judge and jury. Minimizing and justifying this at all should be a permanently disqualifying act. If you think that it's ok at any level, I don't want to share a country with you.



This did happen, in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana when someone badmouthed the sheriff. No one killed anyone though.


That comment could have been simply "Looks like I was misinformed. Thank you for the correction"


Everything I said was 100% correct, you (and gp) are trying to downplay Germany imprisoning a woman for speaking ill of a gang rapist who was given no jail time.


After reading a closer source (machine-translated), I apologize, especially since the issue is media literacy.

Your comment was near enough to the facts that I was wrong to be a scold.

Thanks for backing this up with more evidence. It's a graceful move to acknowledge a mistake.

I also thought the GP was just throwing fire. But after reading more into the matter, I'm a little too disgusted to dig anymore.
