BERLIN — Hubert Aiwanger, the leader of a conservative party that has become a mainstay of Bavarian politics and sought to expand its influence across Germany, has been found dead at a Berlin hotel.

The body of Aiwanger, who was Bavaria’s deputy governor and the southern state’s economy minister, was found in his hotel room in the centre of the capital on Wednesday evening, Berlin police and prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that an autopsy carried out Thursday produced no evidence that anyone else was involved in his death.

    At high school

    17 years old

    A pamphlet of all things, that he may or may not have written

    Can’t drink, can’t go to war, can’t gamble, but we can judge them on it for the rest of their life?

      Yep we can. Even a 17 year old should be sensitive enough to not do this kind of shit. Hell, even a fucking 14 year old should be sensitive enough.

      If he had showed signs of betterment or at least actual remorse, this might be something else. But as it is, he can and should be judged. Instead he chose to lie about the pamphlet and embrace right wing populism.
