Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hope the murder charge sticks when they find his dumb ass. I don’t care if the kids were speaking demonic; you want to send something off the bridge? Do the the world a favor and send yourself

German here: if they find him, it probably will. Our justice system is not perfect, but we can usually be proud of the results.

Seriously. If you’re so insecure that you argue with children you’re already a child yourself. If you feel the need for violence toward a child, I don’t think I want you sharing this planet.

My anger says that if they want to be violent towards children, then we can throw them in with a polar bear to see what they think about stronger and larger predators attacking smaller more vulnerable people.

This hits, anyone who does stuff like that is literally a coward. Or a pyschopath.

*attempted murder

Just want to make sure that people reading the headline, but not the article, the kid survived the attack and is in a hospital.

Nah they definitely will considering this is a clear case of hate crime that ended in murder + it's the Russia-Ukraine situation

The kid fortunately survived.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad that the kid survived, but it's still a hate crime

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There is no "hate crime" in German law though. He'll be charged with attempted murder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

In this specific case yes, hate counts as base motive and escalates manslaughter charges to murder, as murder is manslaughter with base motive.

He's still going to jail for attempted infanticide, and I imagine that for a long time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

10-year-olds aren't infants. It was attempted murder.

Just correcting misinformation, no need for panties to get in a twist

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

oh my bad, the way you worded it made it sound like you were saying "nobody died so what's the big deal)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol it's hard to universally convey tone in text across all cultures

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

yeah, very true.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I had to reread the article because I thought I missed something. The 10 year old survived the attack and is in a hospital.
