Demo in Graz: Bedeutende Folgen eines Mittelfingers - Polizei zeigte 14-Jährigen an
Das Vorgehen der Grazer Polizei im Zuge von Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen gegen das BZÖ und die FPÖ sorgen seit Monaten immer wieder für Aufregung. Die Grünen warfen der Polizei "einen Kleinkrieg gegen Anti-Rechts-Demonstranten" vor - der Standard berichtete. Auch Bescheide des Unabhängige Verwaltungssenat des Landes verurteilen regelmäßig Amtshandlungen bei solchen Veranstaltungen. Nun wurde ein weiterer Fall bekannt, der für Aufsehen sorgt: Ein 14-Jähriger, der im November gegen eine Wahlkampfveranstaltung des BZÖ protestierte und dem BZÖ-Kandidaten Gerald Grosz seine Mittelfinger entgegenstreckte, weil dieser Demonstranten als "Schmutz" bezeichnete, wurde nach der Demo angezeigt. Nicht von Grosz, sondern von einem Polizisten.

The Top Ten Stupid Criminals of 2007
A policeman’s job is never easy, but dumb criminals make it somewhat easier. This list was whittled down from a much longer list of stories of the stupid things lawbreakers did this past year.
