German on trial for insults

lundi 25 avril 2016 à 02:00

A German is on trial for calling some people "cattle" and "scum".

This reveals how Germany fails to respect freedom of speech. Freedom of speech includes the right to insult anyone and anything. We should defend people's freedom of speech regardless of whether we agree with what they said.

I don't call anyone "cattle" but I've referred to some people as "sheep". (I don't hate them, but I an very disappointed with them.) I am proud to call banksters and SCROTUS scum. Would I be put on trial for saying this in Germany?

Down with censorship!
