I am from germany myself. This happend easter 2011. It is not a woman. Dudes name is Markus P. and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The attacker was drunk and seeking for a situation to let off steam. Markus was lucky to fell on his face and took the kicks to the back of his head. If he would lied on his back the damage would be more critical.

The dude at the end, who pulls the attacker aside is a 21 year old tourist who showed some moral courage. Respect for that. If he wouldn`t have interfered, the victim would be probably beaten to death.

The unbelievable thing is, that the attackers surrendered themselfs to the police and after a hearing they were allowed to go home by judges decision! Everytime I wittness these kind of decisions by the authorities I want to interfere Punisher-style!
It is fucking wrong! They nearly kill someone and get the first offender treatment.... Un-fucking-believable!

That's odd, I don't know why, but I'd think Germany would have a tougher punishment system, I know there's still a fair amount of thuggery that goes on there....

My impression is that ever since WWII, Germany is bending over backwards to appear nice and tolerant and understanding to a fucking fault.

Criminals in Germany are not "punished". The judicial system is such that one receives harsher penalties for crimes like tax evasion than for murder, rape, armed robbery, and arson. If the case is highly publicized, the defendant might receive a longer term of incarceration than he would otherwise receive, but this is the exception rather than the rule. For example, I've read about cases of someone attacking police officers, beating them badly, and receiving only probation. (By the way, the police in Germany have an aversion to drawing and firing their weapons, but that's another story.)

Lieberfrau is correct that the post-WWII Germany wants to be very tolerant. This includes having rather passive police forces, a lax judicial system, a willingness to accept foreigners (this includes those coming to Germany uder the guise of "political asylum"), and an unwillingness to deport those who contribute nothing positive to the society.

I daily read news from Germany and the outlook for Germany is not positive. Many Germans in areas with high numbers of foreigners are even afraid to walk the streets of their own neighbourhoods. Old women are robbed after getting money from the bank. Police officers respond to fake calls and are beaten. Graves are robbed of bronze ornamental lamps and vases. Metal sculptures in parks are stolen. The list goes on.

I could go on too, but it's already getting off-topic. Suffice it to say that German culture, like all other western cultures, is in decline. In the end, it will be their own fault.

By the way, "Lieberfrau" is grammatically incorrect.

I dunno, Angela Merkel did go on record saying that multiculturalism does not work. I think there are elements in Germany who would be more than happy to see the country returned to how is was in the early stages of WWII.....

Why, because he didn't put a space between "lieber" and "frau"? Sei nicht so eine Grammatik Nazi sein, wenn Sie das Wortspiel verzeihen werde!

Let's see, Frau is a feminine noun. Do you know your adjective endings? Then you should know what's wrong.

Your German is even worse! Since we aren't acquainted, you should address me with the formal "Sie". "Nazi" isn't a feminine noun. "Grammatik" should be either connected to "Nazi" with a hyphen or joined as one word. Using "werde" at the end of your sentence is the incorrect verb form (should be "werden"), but also unnecessary in this sentence. So, in correcting your German, the sentence should be; "Seien Sie nicht so ein Grammatik-Nazi, wenn Sie das Wortspiel verzeihen möchten."

Learning isn't always fun, but is necessary. When I don't know what I'm talking about, I keep my mouth shut and my ears open.

German was my second language, but I haven't spoken it since I was six, it's a bit hard to get back into the swing of things after 28 years!
