Better not laugh...
Just ran across this on Yahoo News:
BERLIN (Reuters) - A retired man was fined after setting off fireworks and singing in jubilation to celebrate the death of a gay neighbor, a court said on Friday.
The retiree, 63, was convicted for maligning the memory of the dead and defamation. He was fined 2,700 euro ($3,102) by the court in the western town of Lauterbach.
The man launched his celebrations as the neighbor's corpse was carried from his home in a coffin. The pensioner had shown intolerance toward his gay neighbors in the past and had often fought with them, the court said.
How fuckin stupid is that? I thought that sorta thing only happened in CA. You can get fined for laughin at someone's death and celebratin it? Those Germans are just lookin for a backdoor to charge those folks who celebrated Saddam's passing. They're lookin for legal leverage dammit!
