Melech 9,900 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 "An American tourist in Germany was beaten up by a passer-by after he began giving the Nazi salute outside a cafe in Dresden, police said Sunday. The incident occurred about 8:15 a.m. Saturday as the man left a cafe called Europe in the Neustadt district of Dresden, police said in a statement. The district is known to be a liberal part of the town and a popular meeting spot for students. The tourist was identified only as a 41-year-old American man who was “severely drunk,” according to police. He suffered minor injuries, while the stranger who assailed him fled the scene, police said. Police said the U.S. national is under investigation for violating German laws prohibiting Nazi symbols and that they are still seeking the passer-by for causing personal injury, according to the Associated Press. The Nazi salute — the right arm straight and angled slightly up, palm down — was used as a greeting and a way of expressing devotion to Adolf Hitler under the Third Reich. Germany outlawed the salute after World War II, along with Holocaust denial and other symbols and signals associated with the Nazis. A conviction can carry a prison sentence of up to three years, although courts often impose fines instead." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/08/13/an-american-tourist-gave-the-nazi-salute-in-germany-so-a-stranger-beat-him-up-police-say/?utm_term=.04c7253c1d61 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 What's sad is that the nazis, like the ones in Virginia, will eventually use this as a reason for protesting. They're like the Westboro Baptist Church. They want to get attacked and heckled by counter protesters so that they can get their victim card. Republicans are shook.

Ziggy 14,020 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 But why? Like, more than anything else, what kind of stupidity to think that there would be no reaction to this and to assume your rights are protected and enshrined in a foreign country. Unlike America, Germans aren't as lenient with Nazi things lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
