Judge Files Complaint against Merkel over Bin Laden Comments

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Spiegel:

Schadenfreude, the enjoyment of others' suffering, may be a famously German concept, but it is apparently not a feeling that many Germans aspire to. The political and public fallout following Chancellor Angela Merkel's statement on Monday that she was "glad" Osama bin Laden had been killed was among the most hotly debated topics in the German media this week.

Politicians, including those within her own center-right coalition, said that no death was cause for celebration, and reproved the remark as un-Christian and vengeful.

But Hamburg judge Heinz Uthmann went even further. He alleges that the chancellor's statement was nothing short of illegal, and filed a criminal complaint against Merkel midweek, the daily Hamburger Morgenpost reported Friday.

"I am a law-abiding citizen and as a judge, sworn to justice and law," the 54-year-old told the paper, adding that Merkel's words were "tacky and undignified."

In his two-page document, Uthmann, a judge for 21 years, cites section 140 of the German Criminal Code, which forbids the "rewarding and approving" of crimes. In this case, Merkel endorsed a "homicide," Uthmann claimed. The violation is punishable by up to three years' imprisonment or a fine.

"For the daughter of a Christian pastor, the comment is astonishing and at odds with the values of human dignity, charity and the rule of law," Uthmann told the newspaper.

Ever get the feeling that maybe we pacified the Germans a little too much?

She rewarded and approved no such thing. (again, without reading entire article or reasearching)

He wasn't a dang car thief or single time murderer even...let's go with crimes against humanity for a mass murderer!

 

Bite me, Judge Uthmann.

The Germans have no balls left. The last Germans with any backbone were blasted out of existence in 1945. BTW, that was a good thing because they were racist psychopaths bent on world domination.

 

But now the Germans have effectively discouraged/criminalized men/women with backbones because, as liberals are wont to do, they do not admit to the existence of good and evil.

 

Of course, having backbone is neither good nor evil. But because it was once used for evil by Germans of yesterday, the Germans of today simply have neutered their society. That is why they are part of the sclerotic old Europe, which still cannot come to terms with the Mohammedan cancer within that they imported.

 

That is why they have done away with the death penalty for murderers - this is NOT a sign of 'greater civilization' but the EXACT OPPOSITE - a sign of a nation inexorably losing its soul and ability for self-defense.

 

Now the Japanese, OTOH, did not make this mistake. They democratized their society and government without losing their manliness.

 

And that is why, to a visitor from Mars, Japan would - HANDS DOWN - appear to be the healthiest and most culturally SANE of all Western democracies of today.

One more thing:

 

Judge Roland Freysler made more sense with his insane rants at the Stauffenberg conspiracy trials than this idiot named "Heinz Uthmann."

 

(Catsup anyone?) [That is the correct spelling of "KETCHUP" for the uninitiates out there ...)
