1. Last night, both ARD/ZDF (the two public TV networks) ran their news and the very first item was the left-wing radical ('Lina E') who was convicted on assault charges (with three buddies) for five years/three months in prison. It should be noted, the crew picked right-wing folks to assault, and with the pictures shown....it was a pretty harsh beating.
I should note for Lina E....she's been held for roughly 2.5 years already in custody and that time will count.....so if you count good behavior, she probably has 2 years remaining in prison.
At the conclusion of everything....the judge then set her in a free stage (taking her passport, mandating limited movement) and can remain so, until judgement is finalized (could be three or four months). Whether she shows up for jail? Well....you assume so.
Both ARD/ZDF tried to demonstrate this was a 'fair' situation because you have so many right-wingers arrested/charged-up....that you have to conduct a case like to prove you are 'fair'.
I don't know if the typical German sees it that way. If you look at the pictures of beat-up folks....just charge them as regular assaults, and don't get intimidated to think right-wing or left-wing.
So anyway....last night in Bremen, all hell broke loose with left-wing groups going after the local police. Lesser show in Leipzig.
This keeping the public in the mindset that left-wing radicals exist as much as right-wingers? More or less. The news people did show a graphic that right-wingers are arrested more, and charged up more....something to the number of 5 to 1.
My own personal view? After viewing the picture of the assault damage (all guys)....I have this opinion that this Lina E gal is pretty violent and prone to serious violence. But I just seem to wonder....you'd have to put her into a jail situation where no right-wing ladies were staying or you'd have to expect some violent encounters.
