Maja Guil-T

Get it? Guilty spelled differently?

Because her, his, its name is Maja T.? I guess you had to be there.

Court in Hungary declares German anti-fascist Maja T. guilty – Maja T., a nonbinary anti-fascist activist from Germany, has been sentenced to eight years in prison in Budapest. The trial has been controversial and has political implications.

On Wednesday, a court in Hungary ruled that Maja T.*, an anti-fascist activist from the city of Jena in the eastern German state of Thuringia, was guilty of seriously injuring several suspected right-wing extremists in Budapest in February 2023. The attacks had apparently been directed at individuals thought to have participated in the annual “Day of Honor” rally of neo-Nazis from all over Europe, held in the Hungarian capital.

According to the indictment, the 25-year-old German was found guilty of attempted grievous bodily harm and participation in a criminal organization. The verdict is not yet final — it can still be appealed through Hungary’s judicial process.

German of the day: Handspiel

That means handling the ball (in football/soccer).

Although in this case it was more like handling the knife.

Ring in the New Year

Or maybe they should call it ring of fire in the New Year.

Are we having cultural enrichment yet?

German and Dutch authorities fear repeat of NYE firework violence – Fireworks are traditionally used to ring in the new year in Germany and the Netherlands, with New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day the only times they can be set off without permission.

But in recent years, celebrations have come under increased scrutiny.

Last year, dozens of police and firefighters were injured during riots in Berlin. Authorities said some were deliberately targeted with fireworks.

Other cities including Hamburg, Bonn, Dortmund and Essen, also saw violence.

I bet it was the pigtail that set them off…

At least 22 officers injured in the German town of Giessen following unrest – police.

Depends On The Woman, I Guess

And what is a woman these days, anyway?

1 in 3 German men find violence against women ‘acceptable’ – A survey commissioned by Plan International Germany found that 33% of male respondents thought violence against women was acceptable. Almost half of respondents also felt “disturbed” by public displays of homosexuality.

According to a new survey, 33% of men aged 18-35 thought it was “acceptable” if “their hand slipped” occasionally during an argument with their female partner, while 34% of respondents admitted that they had been violent towards women in the past.

But Violence On The Left Is OK

Right? I mean, left?

German lefties are confused about the jail term given to a fellow lefty who attacked neo-Nazis. They have now reacted to this judicial violence against leftist violence with, well, more violence.

German row over jail term for woman who attacked neo-Nazis – A jail term for a far-left extremist who took part in violent attacks on neo-Nazis has caused uproar on both the left and right of German politics.

Lina E was given a sentence of five years and three months – but was also told she is now free pending an appeal, having been in custody since 2020.

Pre-Game Show

It only makes sense to warm up with a little senseless violence before the real, official senseless violence begins.

May demonstration in Berlin: police report riots. “Bottles and pyros” thrownAt least one stone was thrown at police during a demonstration in Berlin on the eve of May 1 with around 3,300 participants. One woman was arrested.

Just Because We Illegally Occupy Apartments Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Illegally Attack You With Stones

Berliners love the smell of left-wing radical madness in Berlin in the morning. They must. Nobody in the red-redder-green Berlin government here plans to do anything about it.

Berlin: ‘Rigaer Strasse’ Looks Like War Zone After Attacks Against Police – A day before fire safety experts are supposed to check an illegally occupied apartment block in Rigaer Strasse, left-wing radicals attacked police officers from roofs, by throwing stones and firecrackers at them.
