From the article you posted:

> Maja R was sentenced to a weekend in jail after her comments because she had a previous conviction for theft and had not attending the court hearing for the case.

I'm not supportive of defamation laws but clearly you (and this journalist) are sensationalizing what happened.

If this happened in America I don't think it would be an issue if a mob killed the judge and jury. Minimizing and justifying this at all should be a permanently disqualifying act. If you think that it's ok at any level, I don't want to share a country with you.

That comment could have been simply "Looks like I was misinformed. Thank you for the correction"

Everything I said was 100% correct, you (and gp) are trying to downplay Germany imprisoning a woman for speaking ill of a gang rapist who was given no jail time.

After reading a closer source (machine-translated), I apologize, especially since the issue is media literacy.

Your comment was near enough to the facts that I was wrong to be a scold.

Thanks for backing this up with more evidence. It's a graceful move to acknowledge a mistake.

I also thought the GP was just throwing fire. But after reading more into the matter, I'm a little too disgusted to dig anymore.

This did happen, in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana when someone badmouthed the sheriff. No one killed anyone though.
