Fortunately you are making this up, or reading it with too much bias. The judge let the man go, because there was no intention to rape, it was credible that he might have believed the sex was consensual. The theory that he might have thought so because of his Turkish background was brought forth by the accusant in the trial, not by the judge.

Tony caught inventing things again. I'm shocked, utterly shocked, by this development.

Even from the google translation it's clear who said what. This seems more like a misunderstanding of how a court decision is made.
Not blaming anyone. Even most journalists seem to have problems grasping this process. Consequently emotionally loaded trials are misrepresented in the press all the time.
That's not the case here, though it could have been made clearer.

What I'm not getting is what some guy rough fucking a girl on speed in the Mark Brandenburg has to do with those knifing assholes that were shot in London?
I might have to read the previous posts for that, but I dread to see the chain of arguments that led to this.

What's the link? LOL
That both incidents resulted from importing tons of barbarian savages into your lands...that's kind of the common denominator here.

You're being too kind. The only reason cases like this get widely publicised in the first place is because of confirmation bias. Racists go looking for anything to justify their prejudices, and dig things like this up, without really caring whether or not the spin they're putting on it is accurate. Never mind that 20 million Muslims in the EU woke up this morning without murdering or raping anyone.

I assume you wouldn't call yourself a racist. After all you're just telling the truth. Which happens to be kinda racist. But that's not your fault.
The connection between these cases is clear as day if you're just willing to throw everyone who seems vaguely foreign to you into one big pile and label it "barbarian savages".
But isn't this the textbook definition of racism? Please explain what racism is, in your opinion.

No matter how much you virtuously signal your anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-fascism or whatever...they are still going to slaughter you.

Yeah, people who call you out on your racism just want to appear virtuous in front of internet strangers. Because that makes sense somehow. :rolleyes:

Yes, "they" are probably coming for me:
My colleagues at work, bright people who are fun to work with.
The nice family that owns the restaurant where my wife and I get our Döner every now and then.
The short-order cook in our cantina, always jesting with the patrons while making them their burgers.
The janitor in our apartment house, always polite and doing a good job.
You know, those barbarian savages.
They'll be out in the streets any day now, slaughtering everyone in their path. Don't you just know it?
