Is killing 260 innocent civilians at a rave just a “sensational story” for you? You might want to reevaluate your moral compass there, buddy.

Many people were oppressed throughout history. Many more still are. Yet, I don’t seem to remember many of them enjoying themselves like Palestinians did with that poor German girl.

What’s crazy is that I was sympathetic to the Palestinian cause before this. After seeing all those videos, I can’t blame the IDF for turining Gaza into rubble. If my country was attacked the same way & the invaders did to innocent civilians what Hamas did, I would have been absolutely pissed at our army if they didn’t respond with overwhelming force.

You’re right. They’re not the same. I don’t see the IDF parading naked bodies of European citizens while Israelis spit on them.

This exactly why I don’t like it when people complain that not enough redditors moved to Lemmy. I actually prefer that most of them don’t.

Anyone using Arc who needs a boost to block all YouTube bloat, let me know. I created one for myself but haven’t submitted it to the gallery. It hides shorts, suggested search results and some other crap.

Human trafficking is a very serious charge. By default, anyone accused of that would fall under the “threat to society” rule. If he’s at home now, his lawyers must have successfully proven that he would keep his head down, or prosecutors simply stopped asking for jail time. Sometimes they do that if they believe it would increase the chances for suspects to cooperate with the investigation. Neither are uncommon, especially for someone who hasn’t been convicted before.

It’s actually 180 days. In this particular case it wasn’t about the limit. Romanian law has another provision: if you are not considered a “threat to society”, you can be investigated without being jailed. Normally, that means you walk free until your trial, with some restrictions on leaving the city or country, depending on your charge. However, if you are considered a flight risk while also not being deemed a “threat to society”, you will usually await trial under house arrest. No need to be rich or famous, just have a half-decent lawyer or a lenient prosecutor who doesn’t even ask for jail time to begin with.
