The judgment fell on a suspended sentence of one year and four months, which was suspended for probation.

The accused, who was with him with over a per thousand alcohol in the blood and a Swiss pocket knife and a "cubotan", admitted the crime and described it as "greatest mistake in his life".

The public prosecutor had asked for a higher imprisonment and pointed out that the defendant could have expressed his disapproval with posters, among other things, instead of resorting to violence. as www.schwaebische.de reports , the judgment is legally binding, both sides have waived appeals.
