I never said harassment was worse. In the first sentence I agree with OP’s statement.
However, the reason most of the assailants are not in jail is not because their crime wasn’t worse, it’s because they are minors. The 19 year-old assailant got 2,5 years jail-time and no probation. The others got between 0,5 and 2 years on probation, which is arguably worse than 3 days in jail.
So, no the headline is not accurate.
Edit: I just reread your post… you think the victim got jail time over harassing her assailants?! That’s what these rage-bait headlines do. It’s not about what actually happened. It’s about triggering the preconceptions of the consumers and pushing them farther into the extremes.
Yes, we do agree on that.
The assailants were minors and thus mostly got probation sentences. That’s due to German law. This was criticized widely.
Are you allowed to find out the mobile number of the perpetrators and harass them on WhatsApp? Well, not under German law. Two wrongs don’t make a right and so on. It’s true that she did not get the leniency the assailants got, because she is not a minor (and had been caught stealing before). She was sentenced to a weekend in jail. That is 3 days.
Are both cases comparable and allow us to draw larger conclusions from the differences in their sentencing? I don’t think so. They are completely different and only linked by the victim of the latter being a perpetrator of the first.
It does make for a sensational headline, though!
It’s a hyper loop!
Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don’t quite understand how this works without any login as I can’t vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I’m logged in to an instance?
I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.
Definitely worth it even without the community patches!
The first time I saw a bag like that, I was shocked as well. Seems like just the worst idea to use plastic to create tea bags. Turns out it is and they weren’t made out of plastic. It’s a starch based fiber that is biodegradable. I don’t think you could have plastic tea bags here in the EU in any case. I’d wager yours isn’t plastic either. Yeah, so you probably got mildly infuriated over nothing, just like I did the first time I saw one of these 🤷
But she did not? She got 3 days, while the 19-year-old assailant got 2,5 years. I get the feeling you don’t read what I’m writing so this is my last response.
