Please tell me which legal case you mean? Sounds very much like a bubble-YouTube story about ‘Muslims can rape everybody in Germany without getting punishment.’
Acquittals happen when there are contradictions in the evidence or victims testimonies, but when it's clear that a rape occurred and the perpetrator only gets a stern talking to - don't really know such stuff happening.
By the way, this is a statement by the city itself, not any reporting on it.
The statement explicitly states, that the guilt of the perpetrators was established. And they are guilty of raping a person which could not help themselves "Die Angeklagten der ersten und zweiten Gruppe wurden aufgrund dieser Feststellungen der Vergewaltigung unter Ausnutzung einer hilflosen Lage schuldig gesprochen".
Oh, they also filmed the rape and robbed her. The girl was 15.
It confirms the same things. The highest punishment were two years and 9 months, all other perpetrators (again, there was no doubt about the guilt) received probation. It also mentions their ages as being between 16 and 20. While I can see some circumstances lessening the guilt of a 16 year old, a 20 year old knows that he is commiting a heinous crime.
Just to make it clear. There was no doubt what happened. The guilt of the perpetrator was established.
Can you honestly tell me that this was justice? That the perpetrators received a punishment worthy of their crime, which after all consistent of gang rape, robbery and filming a 15 year old getting raped.
No, that is horrible, I get less punishment for youth etc. But they know what they did and did it multiple times, and it was nearly systematic (I read about 80 witnesses? wtf is going on?)
Even if you are 15, you know what you are doing is horrible. I hope this dudes suffer in the future, horrendous human beings and the judge should be ashamed.
In such cases, I understand that people take the law into their own hands. Imagine this being your daughter.
I hope the classification for these drugs is not so wide that "normal" drug users are now weapon holders while using their stuff recreational without harming anybody.
Edit: I got more infos:
- Germany's national authorities will classify GBL and 1,4-Butanediol as weapons under German criminal law, treating administration as weapon deployment to strengthen prosecution.
- Under previous German criminal law, administering date-rape drugs was often charged as bodily harm without weapon classification, while survivor groups noted victims face memory loss complicating evidence.
- The reform permits courts to apply strengthened sentencing, allowing German prosecutors and courts to impose longer prison terms and mandatory minimums since administering drugs counts as weapon use, aiding prosecution.
- Survivors of drug-facilitated assault stand to gain a stronger legal foundation and clearer accountability, while the symbolic framing signals a cultural shift in German society prioritizing survivor protection.
- Legal experts warn that judicial training, forensic improvements and survivor-centered reporting systems are vital, while critics caution offenders may exploit loopholes or switch substances without such measures.
Seems cool, I'm using free commander and need 2 vertical panels, because of the ease of coping files.
I guess I skipped this app before because on the screenshot it looks like it just has one panel. But after trying it out, it has "dual pane" mode, so I will give this a shoot.
My gut feeling watching PirateSoftware says to me that something is wrong with this dude. Of course, he was a hacker for the government, worked at Blizzard hat made all the smart decisions, source is him.
Every time he's saying something obvious (basic computer science concepts) and people are pretending he's the ubergod of knowledge.
The dumb person's genius, I feel like. Something says to me there is much pretending involved.
Yeah, I know Linux can do gaming, dev and is stable and good. But there is always something which needs a hack / fix, different lib or something.
"Normal" people just take the convenience of a working system out of the box than having a privacy respecting OS.
Personal anecdote, installed Linux Mint on an old Laptop of a friend. First thing, we open Firefox and go to YouTube, hard freeze of the whole OS. Not a single key worked anymore.
Not the best advertisement for the stable and better OS Linux I was showing him.
Sept. 2 Update: NASA issued the following explanation on Monday for the strange noises: "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback."
That's a cop-out, not an explanation. It's not like anyone expected new physics or ET to be the explanation; of course it was going to be some interaction of complicated systems.
