Yup. Idiots think that they can use the "HE WAS COMIN' AT ME!!" stand your ground as This One Weird Trick to Get Away With Premeditated Murder. It's really cops that get off on that for a bunch of different reasons. Regular idiot racists that see cops get away with murder and think the rules apply to them as well are often severely disappointed when the law comes down on them. I HIGHLY doubt a prosecutor is going to go to bat for this guy in such a nationally high profile case.

The whole thing is that he drove 500 feet, accelerating. If anyone was throwing anything at him it was probably to keep him from stopping.

Edit: haha I looked at the video, it was someone throwing something at him moments before he impacted the crowd. He was well on his way to commit vehicular manslaughter at that point. Figures it would be Russia Today that would highlight that.

Like I said, his rear end is grass when it comes to jail time.

It's more about public opinion and how this moment will be remembered. I'm just saying, I'm convinced that in a year or two the standard line will be "the mean antifa protestors attacked him (in a vehicle, natch) and so he was justified, also they were blocking the road and thus forfeited all human rights. :smug:"

I think your average conservative voter is going to just pretend that guy never existed or "was a crazy lone nut that doesn't represent anyone in the GOP [don't look at the pictures where he's with the rest of the protesters]" especially if he goes to jail for a long time. There's not a lot to be gained by tying yourself to a guy that couldn't hack it in bootcamp and got his rear end arrested so it will just be the same guys that post macros about running people down with cars or tried to dox that kid in Michigan that will hold him up as some sort of victim.

I believe there should have been nothing even resembling a preliminary investigation because that ancient law against lèse-majesté should never have existed in the first place.

That problem lies with $104a which allows foreign nations to formally request a legal inquiry into things if the German state is not seeking charges itself, but is usually not used for petty bullshit such as in this case. They had to honor it, which meant wasting everyone's time with a fruitless legal challenge for a few weeks before it was inevitable squashed.

edit: To clarify, no German DA was even trying to go after him for insulting a foreign leader, which is why Turkey had to try and backdoor it.

I get it's a nascent movement and probably doesn't have much of a budget, but neither were the early Nazi's and I don't think they walked around with plywood shields and batter's helmets. You gotta look the part people! it's not just a hair cut and ill fitting polo shirt.

I'll admit some of Boil & Soil pictures looked pretty dramatic. Right up to the tiki torches.

Freedom of speech does not include incitement of violence.

The incitement must be imminent, effective, and intended (e: these words all have specific legal meanings that often differ from common usage). This is a difficult standard to reach, and is nearly impossible to be reached preemptively.

We can discuss whether or not heavily armed cosplayers advocating genocide should have their rights to speech and assembly protected, but ought to be cleae the courts have been very explicit that those rights are protected.
