36C3 Staff Assaulted Me for Political Reasons

There’s video evidence at the bottom. I casually follow CCC but am not familiar with all the sub-groups /clicks, so was a bit hard to follow. I Hope those who did the assaulting are held responsible and banned

That video shows that... they evicted some dude that seems to make his personal brand about being edgy and annoying? What exactly am I supposed to be outraged about here?

Hard to see a "brutal attack" from the video (although it is unclear). More a fairly typical forced ejection scuffle.

I'd like to know more before forming any view. The poster offers email on domains including one named rape.lol so is obviously a charming fellow.

Agreed. Seems like one of those "free speech advocates" that enjoys being as offensive as possible and then howls if anyone tries to take their content down.

The video is definitely not a "brutal assault". If the video is bad or incomplete, after pictures of injuries would easily prove his point.

Attention-seeking behavior.

Especially when you look at the category this has been posted to

> youre-going-to-wish-you-killed-me

Yeah that seems totally reasonable.

In Germany, "free speech" is not so deeply culturally ingrained: in the German Grundgesetz, paragraph 5, there is a concept of "Meinungsfreiheit" (freedom of opinion) (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gg/art_5.html) which, even though "sufficient for most practical purposes", does not go as far as "free speech" in the USA.

You can get convicted a very harsh sentence for using just a single word, and don't you citizen dare to use "hate speech!". There is no Meinungsfreiheit in Europe/Germany, it exists only on paper

Supposedly free-speech advocate gratuitously includes smears of NGO rescuing refugees from drowning. What a coincidence!

Yes, Vincent is a very nice guy.

E: I wonder if any of the people downvoting me have actually interacted with Vincent.
