- erric 8y agoThat looks incrediblely dangerous. They should be locked up for life for possessing such terrible means of mass destruction.
- madmulita 8y agoAt least they found "some", imagine the scandal if they finally couldn't show any evidence of weapons of mass destruction.....
- gremlinsinc 8y agoWE can only hope they don't start a war to find those WMD's...
- singularity2001 8y agoto be more precise, police identified it as "presumed model of an atomic bomb". But the criminal offence is spot on: http://cdn1.spiegel.de/images/image-1310464-860_poster_16x9-kdvc-1310464.jpg http://cdn1.spiegel.de/images/image-1310464-860_poster_16x9-...
- ckastner 8y agoIncredible. It is obvious that they will not be able to show intent beyond reasonable doubt as to this "crime" (they even acknowledge it is just a model), proceeding regardless is just farcical. Amusingly enough, they labeled it "mutmaßliches Modell einer Atombombe" (presumptive model of an atomic bomb) with the crime being "Herbeiführen einer Sprengstoffexplosion" (causing an explosion), but the relevant norm [1] explicitly excludes nuclear explosions.

- blattimwind 8y agoThere's actually StGB § 307 specifically for nuclear explosions.
- ethbro 8y agoNot sure when it was put into law, but Germany has hosted tactical US nuclear weapons since the Cold War.
- dogma1138 8y agoTBH this looks more like a butt plug than a nuke...
- petre 8y agoYeah, good luck explaining that to the German police. They also found PCBs and other "bomb making material". When you're trained to see bomb threats, everything will look like a potential bomb threat.
- musage 8y agoNothing changed, doubly so not in Bavaria. Und vier Monate später stand in Springer's heißem Blatt Dass Georg-von-Rauch-Haus hat eine Bombenwerkstatt Und die deutlichen Beweise sind zehn leere Flaschen Wein Und zehn leere Flaschen können schnell, zehn Mollies sein -- Ton Steine Scherben, "Rauch-Haus-Song" (1972) off-hand translation: and four months later the BILD-Zeitung declares the Georg-von-Rauch house has a bomb making workshop and the clear evidence is ten empty bottles of wine because ten empty bottles can easily become ten molotov cocktails > When you're trained to see bomb threats, everything will look like a potential bomb threat. This has to do with obedience, as do the rationalizations. The same obedience will allow people to ignore smoking guns with powerful people.
- dogma1138 8y agoI would think with Germany’s reputation they would know a sex toy when they see one..
