So can you explain the direct relation between this article and conservatism?

Is it just a judge made a bad call so they must be a lib?

Or is that immigrants are rapists? and if that's the case, are you implying that they are inherently rapists?

All I see here is rage bait and tabloid level rubbernecking of a horrific event.

Not really mentioned in the article (but in the Spiegel one they source from):

  • All were sentenced under juvenile law.
  • The probation sentences are conditional, meaning the court can still send them to prison depending on their general behaviour, not just when they get into trouble with the law.

Juvenile prison sentences are very rare in Germany, as they should be. Education has strict precedence in juvenile law, the maximum sentence is five years in separate prisons to turn still easily formable minds around.

Although the rapists were ages 17 to 21 at the time of the horrific crime, they were tried in a youth court.

What's that supposed to mean? Between 14 and 18 it's always youth court, from 18 to 21 it depends on the developmental state of the defendant. Who does the blaze think juvenile law should apply to, instead of juveniles? Children? Those can't stand trial in the first place! What's next, sentencing toddlers for stealing lollipops?

Spiegel indicated that those involved in the trial have been subjected to overwhelming criticism and hostilities since the rapists were set free.

No, they didn't.

"DNA evidence implicated 9 of the men" yet only one is going to jail.

If that was my sister... I'd probably end up in jail.

These judges/politicians are just pushing for French Revolution II.

Thats why the Germans make it so you have to demostrate "trustworthiness" and the need to own a gun. Of course, politicians are automatically trustworthy and have a need.

Can't have the ~~Jews~~ people armed, gotta have them dependent on the government. In the name of safety of course.

Are you implying that current laws in Germany are antisemetic?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

They historically have that component, yes. Its like how the 1934 NFA in America was trying to keep black people from arming themselves.

Scroll down to the bit about the "The 1938 Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons, which came into force the day after Kristallnacht,[12][13] effectively deprived all Jews living under Nazi rule of the right to possess any form of weapons, including truncheons, knives, firearms and ammunition."
