Man in Munich arrested for hassling perpetrator shooting
A 57-year-old German was in the aftermath of the shooting held in Munich last week because of the berating of the offender. Thomas Salbey saw the shooting happen from his balcony. Loud cursing he hurled a beer bottle to the head of the offender. Later he was arrested himself for defamation. After the massacre at the mall OEZ (Olympia Einkaufszentrum) in Munich, the 57-year-old Salbey gave also some with invectives and insults interspersed interviews to a journalist, who took everything.
This was the character who distracted the shooter by shouting insults at him as he was on top of the parking garage. I would have given him a medal for saving innocent people. Instead, they are going to lock him up for making racist statements.
And I thought it was bad when homeowners who fought with home invaders were punished.
So long as threat is avoidable or deniable, things will continue to slide toward r, and the consequences will grow ever more insane.
Once threat is unavoidable, things will shift back, though not peacefully.
And things always shift back.
[…] Man Arrested For Harassing Munich Mass-Shooter […]
Things will continue as they are, until they can’t. The change will start slowly like a leak in a levee and then it will fail abruptly and everyone left standing around in the aftermath will be “wow that was fast!”
I went to the original source (a news site in the Netherlands) and have been running comments through google translate
The vast majority of people are posting variations of “WTF? The world’s gone mad!”
But those few that are defending the actions of the German state here are saying basically that by harassing the shooter his guy made the shooter more angry causing him to kill more people and he should be held accountable … if that’s not the rabbit mindset described perfectly, I don’t know what is.
