Germany: Judge Files Criminal Charges Against Chancellor Merkel For Saying She Was “Glad” Bin Laden Was Killed…
A new low for the Euro-weenies.
(Spiegel) — A Hamburg judge has filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Angela Merkel for “endorsing a crime” after she stated she was “glad” that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces. Meanwhile a new poll reveals that a majority of Germans do not see the terrorist’s death as a reason to celebrate.
Schadenfreude, the enjoyment of others’ suffering, may be a famously German concept, but it is apparently not a feeling that many Germans aspire to. The political and public fallout following Chancellor Angela Merkel’s statement on Monday that she was “glad” Osama bin Laden had been killed was among the most hotly debated topics in the German media this week.
Politicians, including those within her own center-right coalition, said that no death was cause for celebration, and reproved the remark as un-Christian and vengeful.
But Hamburg judge Heinz Uthmann went even further. He alleges that the chancellor’s statement was nothing short of illegal, and filed a criminal complaint against Merkel midweek, the daily Hamburger Morgenpost reported Friday.
“I am a law-abiding citizen and as a judge, sworn to justice and law,” the 54-year-old told the paper, adding that Merkel’s words were “tacky and undignified.”
In his two-page document, Uthmann, a judge for 21 years, cites section 140 of the German Criminal Code, which forbids the “rewarding and approving” of crimes. In this case, Merkel endorsed a “homicide,” Uthmann claimed. The violation is punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment or a fine.

Welcome to what America will be if things don’t change damned soon…
I bet they’d change their tunes if they have a few buildings/planes/trains blown up by Islamic Splodey-dopes.
Political correctness run amok
She should tell him to go do sex to himself.
Illegal thoughts?
Europe is fucking DOOMED.
And we’re 15 years behind them
awesome……..bonafide thought crime prosecution.
The only thing Orwell got wrong was the date!
You’re supposed to be sad that a poor lamb like Osama was killed.
Poll: Is it right to celebrate the death of a human being, even if it is Osama bin Laden?

I bet twisted thinking like this has been around a long time in Germany.
Is this the style of “Democracy” the liberal progressives wish to bring to our Republic?
My niece is going there for school this summer, man I hope she’ll be OK. There’s some seriously crazy crap going on in the EU…
Surely Obama agrees with the judge. It took him 16 hours to cave into being strong armed by Pannetta/Clinton.
What would have been the downside? The international law community will force Obama to back away from the fact that he order this kill mission. If it weren’t a kill mission then he would have used and FBI swat team. Using the SEALS seals the deal that it was a kill mission. There’s no backing away from that. And in time Obama will have to admit that he and Jarret were opposed to the mission from the get go. It’s only a matter of time. I give it 2 weeks tops.
Love the new blue zipper btw.
You reap what you sow. And welcome to a sneak peek of America!!

And tell us Mr. Moral Relativism, what if the person who was ‘wacked’ was Adolph Hitler?

Texas Fred….
You said it all ~
Judge must be a Dem and up for re-election …. isn’t Uthmann a germanic pronounciation of Kloppenburg?
Farfuknoogie.
I hope she declares Martial Law and cleans the fucking place out. This is just sick.
They need to clone that woman yelling on the street last week.
They’re over-run by muzzies and too afraid of their past to push back.
The English are practically putting their necks on the block for the devil to hack at.
French? They let them fill the STREETS to pray (or is it prey). How’s that burka ban going? Too little, too late.
They’re fucked. We’re fucked.
Once they control the government of one nuclear power and get the launch codes…..lights out Earth.
Too cynical?
Angela Merkel has more balls than the average German male. She rocks!!!
More proof, as if we needed anymore, that Europe is done for.
Without the right to bear arms there are no other rights which are what Europeans are painfully discovering.
Maybe the Germans would celebrate bin Laden’s demise more if buildings in Berlin had been smashed by two of their own passenger planes at the hands of Muslim terrorists and their citizens had been killed at the hands of bin Laden and his fellow cock roaches. That does put things on a more personal level.

HUGE understatement!
That was circa 1995.
What we are entering now is a realm of extremely dangerous and disturbing personalities that no sane rational mind can attempt to comprehend . It is more along the lines of criminally insane mixed with suicidal self-loathing. It really is a scary place we are in now , and the seed was planted by the demonic left. They really are the lowest form of human life. Who else could feel bad when a monster that kills 3,000 innocent people in one morning finally gets what he deserves?
Remember when Germans were once feared?
Still Nazis.
Shit. Just shit.
She’s finally Geerting the message of lslam.
They’ll have a kangaroo court, just like the Dutch, and the British and
the Canadians.
Can’t a German just be GLAD once in a while?!
I’m glad bin Laden is DEAD!
I only wish the SEALs had killed every rat in the house. The only good muzzie is a dead muzzie.
Can we sue obama for being tacky and undignified?
She has Hitler’s eyes.
OK. The concept of “human rights” is dead and gone, thanks to the P-C leftists’ abuse and twisting of the concept which effectually neutralized the term.
So there will be no talk about that any more, OK?
The reality is: Mass murderers are evil. Evil is to be fought and defended against.
Merkel and the rest of us have every right to approve that OBL was taken out.
