German Man Teaches Dog Nazi Salute - Given Suspended Sentence

[matcom]

<snip>

A Berlin administrative court found the 54-year-old man, who was only identified as Ronald T., guilty of displaying Nazi symbols and insulting a policeman last March.

Police had stopped the man after he was heard shouting the Nazi slogan. While the police watched, the man also commanded his dog, named Adolf, to raise its right paw upon hearing the command "Do the salute." Authorities initially pressed charges for training the dog to perform the salute, but they were later dropped.

Displaying Nazi symbols in public is a crime in Germany under laws meant to prevent any recurrence of Nazism.

This Arschloch's dog was a big hit with Japanese touists for some reason.

5. LOL

"Businessman" ROFL - he is an early retiree, former Mercedes worker (Self declared manager, but that's not likely ). The Wine and Truck business sounds strange.
Not to forget that the reason for the mild verdict is limited criminal responsibility due to coma-caused brain damage.
