Don’t crack down on Islamics attacking Germans, crack down on Germans who object to being attacked.
Makes perfect sense..../s

Just as certain Idiots wish to confiscate firearms from the law-abiding, this dolt wants to eliminate legitimate criticism of toothless pols by citizens outraged and endangered by their leaders doing nothing about obvious predators.

If leaders would get off their highly paid and well-padded duffs and lead, the citizens wouldn’t criticize.

And by hate speech he means any criticism of Germany’s immigration policies or any eyewitness accounts of violence by migrants.

What is hate speech? All moslems are no good.”

When BLM types incite rioting and killing Police online - that is simply people exercising their right to express themselves...

Sounds like Maas along with a number of other German government officials need a lot more than hate speech directed their way. They are the enemies of the German people and the enablers of Islamic terrorism. German citizens should contemplate what peoples’ justice is appropriate for such officials.

The alpha male is almost extinct in Germany. However, authoritarianism is alive and well withing the bureaucracy.

A good example why there should be no "hate speech" laws.
Governments using it against its citizens, stifling free speech.

Don’t dare crack down on Muslim murderers you are bringing into your country. Crack the heads of your countrymen.

From the master to the rational to the docile . My Father, who fought his way through Belgium and Germany in WWII, would be laughing his butt off. Hey Dad, you were right when you told me - “the German populace are punks”. Didn’t get it at the time.

And authoritarianism is also the very heartbeat and the very whip lash of the European Union which the US should cooperate in utterly abolishing.
