He called for simply "zammzufohn" the climate stickers in Passau.

Viechtach – "Zammfohn (Bavarian for 'drive together', editor's note) and end!": A 23-year-old from the old district of Viechtach had to answer for these words before the district court on Monday (March 20).

The defendant commented on an online article about road blockades in Passau and Regensburg by climate activists, which was published on the BR24 Facebook page, with these words, as a judge of the Viechtach district court reported on Merkur.de

Climate adhesive "zammfohn and end!": judge finds comment on "rough"

He had to go to court because he had lodged an appeal against the penalty order for 70 daily rates of 60 euros each.

He was charged with "public incitement to commit crimes" and "condoning crimes".

The incident happened in June last year.

In the process, the 23-year-old's defense attorney pointed out that his mandate had not given the comment any thought and that it had not been his intention for anyone to actually drive over the climate stickers.

The defendant himself did not dispute his comment either, calling it "stupid".

As reported by the

Passauer Neue Presse

, the judge said: "It could happen to you that you make such a statement." But even if the comment was made in the "heat of the moment", it was too "rough".

The "all that shit" that you used to say at the regulars' table could now have criminal consequences due to social media.

Bayer can fend off fine, court warns him

Ultimately, the accused was warned, as the judge of the district court tells us.

Practically a suspended fine.

"The accused only has to pay the original sentence in the penalty order if he should commit another offense within 2 years."

The judgment is therefore not yet final.
