I condemn violence, but cmon, how dumb do you have to be to do the Nazi salute in modern-day Germany?!?

[IceAgeComing]

Its especially stupid to do it in Dresden; considering the condition that it was in by the end of the war...

Germans, still violent

Hitler/Nazi-salutes are not totally uncommon in Germany and Austria, but if caught in the act these cases are usually leading to a year-long prison sentence and/or a significant fine and parole.

Which is good. Punching someone who does so isn't ... better argue with them, rather than punch them.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Obviously I think berating him and making a huge spectacle out of it would have been more effective.  But I also don't feel too badly that he got beat up.

Good to see AntiFA was on the scene.

When I was a kid, we were sometimes making this gesture as a joke between us, because it was "sooo edgy". We'll, we were doing a lot of stupid things which I shall never name.

Doint this as an adult, even ironically, is just imbecilic. Also, good karma.

Reported for anti-Semitism and having friends, the two worst crimes one can commit on Atlas.

I guess the latter will just seal my fate.

There are parts of Dresden where he would have gotten away with this but certainly not Dresden Neustadt
