Chinese tourists arrested for Hitler salute

[Vikrant]

Oh lord! Did they not know that Hitler killed millions of innocent Eastern Europeans and Jewish people?

---

Two Chinese tourists were arrested in Berlin for making Hitler salutes outside the German parliament on Saturday.

Criminal proceedings have been started against the middle-aged men for using symbols from a banned organisation.

The pair have been released on bail of €500 (£450; $600) each.

Germany has strict laws on hate speech and symbols linked to Hitler and the Nazis.

The men - aged 36 and 49 - could face a fine or a prison sentence of up to three years, according to police.

The same charges are most commonly used to prosecute members of the far right.

A police spokeswoman told AFP news agency that the men could leave the country during the investigation and that if a fine is handed down, the bail money they had already paid would probably cover it.

The visitors were seen taking pictures of each other with their mobile phones outside the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament.

Arrested for a gesture? Sounds like something a Nazi would do.

Musk did do no crime in Germany and he also broke not the laws of the USA. And the German police not needs his name and identity if they should like to send him an invitation.

Scheiß deinem Präsidenten auf den Tisch und warte die Reaktion ab.
= **** your president on the table and wait for the reaction.

("****" -> verbal translation: "Shit on the table of your president ...")

Still a short time ago it was forbidden in Germany to insult a foreign head of state. The Turkish president Erdogan changed this German law - otherwise Donald Trump and/or Valdimir Putin would now change this German law.

The Turkish president Erdogan changed this German law -

Amazing even by Germ standards .

Did Nerdogan buy a Scholz look- a- like costume to make this change ?

The sensitive Erdogan dug up this long-forgotten law, sued a German for insulting him - a foreign head of state - and brought a constitutional complaint, which established that this law was unconstitutional. So it was struck down.

First write what's not prohibited in Germany.

First write what's not prohibited in Germany.

To be stupid and to have not any idea what to speak about for example. But also this has limits. So stay in the USA. Send Bruce Springsteen. He's welcome.

They will probably receive a formal invitation to never return to Germany. A good, swift kick in the ass on the way out would be well deserved as well.

No. They are still welcome. It was just simple stupid what they did do. For this stupidity they had to pay a little price. Always good to know: "In Rome do as the Romans do". It is no good idea to repeat such an action. Most Nazis not had been like John Rabe - also called "the good Nazi from Nanking". But in general also always existed Germans who admired China very much.



By the way: Thanks to all Chinese who had helped Mr. John Rabe and his family after World War 2 not to have to die in hunger, sickness and misery. God says every evil deed will have bad consequences up to the fourth generation of people - but every good deed will have good consequences for 1000 generations.
