“Good luck with the future, gentlemen”

What the, and I can't stress this enough, utter fuck? "Good luck with your future hate crimes, gentlemen"

And one of these cunts was already convicted for assault (which the other Nazi filmed) but didn’t had to do jail time because of “his lack of criminal history”. So the excuse now is they have good prospects for rehabilitation. So the fucking judge thinks a violent repeat offender has a good chance at rehabilitation by doing community service. This judge is insane. Bet if it were anti-fascists they would be doing hard time.

She's not insane, she's a fascist.

If it was insanity, it'd be easier to understand her actions – she might not be completely completely in control of herself or aware of what she's doing. She knows what she's doing.

I guess anti-fascists must be bad for business, or something.

The judiciary has always been sympathetic to fascists. That was true in Weimar Germany as well. It's the reason brown shirts felt safe to beat up people in the street, there were no real consequences.

True that, and it's not like it's exactly a surprise either

It's such a weird thing to say.

Also comments about recidivism. These assholes are anything but reformed.

It sounds like it's in the context of sentencing and in the context seemingly of some discussion about their chances at rehabilitation so I imagine it was meant in that sense. "Good luck on your journey towards being not being a piece of shit any more". Doesn't sound like that journey is progressing very well though considering they immediately declared their innocence after entering guilty pleas and then spouted anti Semitic and homophobia remarks to the press outside court and walked off.

Oh yeah that was how I took it, but you pointed out the problem yourself. It was either an astoundingly stupid decision, or a malicious one.
