Abnormal human being's comment gives you a good idea why this is ban worthy. Pandering to conspiracy/extremist even if unintentional must be avoided to preserve the community.

What conspiracy? This is literally a thing that happened.

[-] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The conspiracy is that they are only being deported for protest when they have been arrested for a number of crimes.

I don't agree with the part about deportation without going through the courts first though.

The shit? No they're not. Some other people in the same protest committed these crimes; these protesters aren't accused of any criminal acts.

Maybe not just read articles that promote one narrative while leaving out essential information. The four protesters are accused of multiple things. Sure, they should be put on trial first and if guilty, get their punishment then be deported.

Sigh.

None of the protesters are accused of any particular acts of vandalism or the de-arrest at the university.

Instead, the deportation order cites the suspicion that they took part in a coordinated group action.

O’Brien, one of the Irish citizens, is the only one of the four whose deportation order included a charge – the accusation that he called a police officer a “fascist” – that has been brought before a criminal court in Berlin, where he was acquitted.

Buhlmann explicitly warned that the legal basis for revoking the three EU citizens’ freedom of movement was insufficient — and that deporting them would be unlawful.

To correct myself, it seems that two are accused of a criminal act: Insulting an officer. That's... uh... The fuck?

Insult is a crime in Germany regardless who you insult. It's Germany, not the US. You can't just harass people here, regardless of their status.

It alone wouldnt warrant deportation. However the article is still missing information I find in German language articles.

Also I support the "enforced politeness" but find that the fines are a bit excessive. Should rather be treated like a traffic infraction instead
