I am concerned about German Justice Minister Heiko Maas' grasp of grammar, in particular punctuation.

Some baby 51 years ago
I am a little concerned about the German Justice Minister Heiko Maas. Yes, the NetzDG douchebag from Saarlouis. Not because he always makes an insecure impression when Merkel is around. He just is insecure. Just look at that photo at the end.

No, it is his grasp of grammar and in particular punctuation. He does not seem to be familiar with the functions of a comma, let alone commata. However, he is on a mission.

It so happened during New Year's night that the police of Cologne (was there what two years ago?) shot off a tweet in Arabic wishing a Happy New Year. They did not tweet the same wishes in Japanese, although quite some live in and around nearby Dusseldorf. Neither in Hindi, nor any African language for that matter. Which is kind of odd and smacks a little of attitudinizing.

In this scenario , a member of the AfD political party shot off a tweet in a reaction to that tweet in Arabic from the police. Hours later her Twitter account was suspended based on the NetzDG which went into effect on, you guessed it, Jan. 1, 2018. Oh, ze Germans are efficient.

Here it is as a retweet from the satirical Titanic which was also suspended.

Part of her tweet reads:
"... denn das letzte, was ich haben will, sind besänftigte barbarische, muslimische, gruppenvergewaltigende Männerhorden!"
and in English:
"... because the last thing I want to have is soothing barbarian, Muslim, gang raping men!"
Let's get back to smarty ass Heiko Maas who has never for a day worked as a lawyer. I would bet my non-existing Lambo on it, he has never read Wittgenstein:
"On the other hand it seems clear that where there is sense there must be perfect order. So there must be perfect order even in the vaguest sentence."
The Heiko could learn something about the function of the comma here.  Is the ridiculous minister sure the adjectives are coordinate?

Now with this in mind, let's get back to the AfD politician's sentence. It can as well be understood as to mean:

"... because the last thing I want to have is soothing barbarian men, Muslim men, gang raping men."

Would that be hate speech, you bloke of a minister?

Hundreds of complaints have been filed and the prosecutor is investigating for, hold your pants, SEDITION!

The case is fucking dead in the water!

Germany finds itself in a fickle state as it is unable to build a new government. New elections have to be avoided at ALL costs; the AfD would win even more votes and Merkel be dead in the water, the SPD in the teens and smarty ass back in Saarlouis.

Heiko with cleaning lady as Pallas Athena

Heiko, do not even try. You ain't got what it takes.

Absolutely slay!
