      Did you miss the “threats targeting Jews” part?

      Threatening someone’s life isn’t protected by free speech.

          They had a warrant from a judge for threats. A judge determined that it was a threat. Threatening someone is illegal.

          Nobody was arrested, they were questioned and police took the computers as evidence.

          Edit: Nice edit

              No, you said this:

              I dont think anyone shpuld be arrested for speach. But i can understand germanys reasons to do such things

              completely ignoring the article because you’ve already made up your mind the second you read “speech”, suggesting Germany would arrest people for some harmless stuff.

              Are you in favour of not getting investigated after you’ve threatened someone?
