What kind of punishment can they expect in Germany?
The ticker news that her Turkish boyfriend and an accomplice have been arrested in meanwhile called my attention to the case. I'd express hopes she makes a full recovery, but alas that could be doubtful. Always those people and their sense of honor... what those two assholes did indicates the utter abscence of honor, does it not.Link
On late Saturday afternoon the door bell of Reyhan A. in Hilden (Northrhine Westphalia) rang and the young Turkish-German woman unsuspectingly opened - only to be sprayed with acid. A hooded man soaked her facial area with a liquid from a spray bottle, then turned around and fled. The 20-year-old immediately felt a painful burning in her face and called for an ambulance. Paramedics rushed the heavily injured woman to the emergency treatment ward in Duisburg. The injuries are not life-threatening. [Her grandmother; muck] told daily 'Bild' that her grandchild could be left permanently disfigured.
Wanna know what's even worse? What our ever-caring and considerate judges will have to say to this.
Dangerous bodily injury (with dangerous classifying the means used) is punishable with between 6 months and 10 years in prison, but in practice the judge's scope of discretion is regularly exploited to the fullest and the average sentence is more like between 18 and 36 months in prison.
If the assailant has no criminal record he might even get a suspended sentence.
I wish I had never seen those pictures, that poor woman![]()
Well. I hope the judge uses some common sense and gives a harsher punishment than the minimum of 6 months or 18 months in prison. Acid attacks are no joke and I wouldn't be happy with an 18-36 month sentence in prison if I was the victim or the victims family. Just my opinion.
Dust them with a flammenwerfer and finish with a couple of handfuls of salt. See how they enjoy it. Punishment befits the crime...
Mucks right, probably will only get a short stint in jail / family holiday camp.
I am pretty confident the pictures are of a different woman. The pictures are of a Sikh woman, and the article is referring to a German of turkish descent.
Just heard it this morning, terrible thing to happen. Hope the fuckers get the book thrown at them properly, but I gotta agree with muck, the judges will be very understanding.
Indian students tounge cut off for not converting to Islam, terror attacks on trains, honor acid attacks, welcome to Germany.
Chlorine trifluoride was invented for use on guys like these, might cure them of their urge to play with chemicals.
