Rowdy 28-Year-Old Slapped with Heavy Fines for Nazi Salute at Political Rally
A 28-year-old troublemaker found himself in deep waters after his outrageous behavior at a political gathering in Dresden, Germany. The District Attorney's Office announced a hefty punishment consisting of daily fines totaling 1000 euros.
On a drunken Thursday night, the belligerent fellow caused a ruckus at a CDU campaign booth, tossing propaganda materials on the ground and verbally assaulting a 36-year-old campaigner before belittling Hitler and saluting him with the infamous Nazi salute.
The 28-year-old's provocative actions darkened the enthusiasm at the rally. Following his arrest, he was sternly advised to steer clear of any future gatherings to avoid further mishaps.
