I dont think anyone shpuld be arrested for speach. But i can understand germanys reasons to do such things

Did you miss the "threats targeting Jews" part?

Threatening someone's life isn't protected by free speech.

Did it say exacrly what was said?

They had a warrant from a judge for threats. A judge determined that it was a threat. Threatening someone is illegal.

Nobody was arrested, they were questioned and police took the computers as evidence.

Edit: Nice edit

So thats a no. Im in no way defending them just that untill ive seen these threats im hestant to condem them.

No, you said this:

I dont think anyone shpuld be arrested for speach. But i can understand germanys reasons to do such things

completely ignoring the article because you've already made up your mind the second you read "speech", suggesting Germany would arrest people for some harmless stuff.

Are you in favour of not getting investigated after you've threatened someone?

I still havnt seen these threats. And germany arrested 6million people for some harmless stuff so wouldnt put it past them.

You're making a fool of yourself just because you would never admit to a mistake.

This got to be the most stupid comment I've read the entire year.

What mistake?

The mistake of only reading the headline and also misinterpreting it completely, making assumptions in your extremist worldview.

Ok can you pleasd try being a little less hostile so we can have a productive discussion. Difference in interpretation is called an opinion we are all entitled to one. I didnt just read the headline. And thinking that we shouldnt arrest people based on speach is an extremist world view didnt knwo that.

From my interpretation they celebrated a terrorist attack. Wrong yes, moraly corrupt yes, should it be illegal no. If u think celebrating a terrorist attack should be illegal then then the very top of the arrest list would be the US government. And hate speach which nobody can actualy provide to me so god knows what they actualy said.
