Brave man who stood up to Munich shooter now facing prosecution for 'INSULTING killer'
2016-08-05
A MAN who famously stood up to the Munich shooter after he killed nine people is facing being charged by a prosecutor for insulting the killer.

Florian Weinzierl, spokesman from the Munich State Prosecutor's office, confirmed the Munich resident is being investigated.

He said the post-shooting exchange between Mr Salbey and Sonboly had no influence on their actions.

What will be included in the charges remains to be established, as it whether they will be brought forward.

But Mr Weinzierl, suggested they could include "insults to the detriment of the dead."

According to the spokesman, a court review will be completed soon.

#10  The guy was apologetic in his first interviews. He stated that his anger caused him to make the insults.

#9  "Merkel seems to have lost touch with reality."

That presumes she was ever in touch with reality, #7 EC.

Assumes facts not in in evidence.

#7  More good news: Merkel's popularity is dropping fast while Seehofer's appeal is growing.

The FAZ (conservative paper) now thinks it's possible that Seehofer could aspire to something higher. Merkel seems to have lost touch with reality.

She'll make a great General Secretary of the United Nations with those qualifications. I'd put her in the floors Bolton has mentioned...

#6  So who denounced Salbey? Some imam maybe?

#5  If a citizen places a "Strafanzeige" prosecution is bound by law to investigate it.

But he can drop the matter very quickly, if he thinks there is no ground for it.

Actually I've heard from police that balcony man probably derailed the shooter's plan to use the ammunition left in his backpack for another shooting spree by confusing him.

#3  Actually no.
He was denounced but Munich prosecutor almost immediately dropped the case.

This is Bavaria, folks.
