Given the broad nature of Germany’s laws against incitement to hatred, it is no wonder that even a senior like Haverbeck-Wetzel would run afoul of them. The laws were deliberately written in such a way that not only are hateful acts punished, but so is hateful speech, something that should frighten anybody who values of freedom of speech. The Independent Journal reports:
Dubbed Nazi-Oma (Nazi grandma) by the media, Haverbeck-Wetzel has a previous criminal record, with two fines and a suspended sentence for sedition.

Yet again another story that tells only a fraction of the truth to prop up a fictional narrative some manipulative trout on the left is pushing. Only thing more I’m going to say is: personal opinions are one thing and what this woman actually was doing goes far beyond “simple expression” read the translations of some of her clap-trap, stop being gullible easily manipulated chattel, and form an informed view of your own–not what some hack with an agenda tells you.
