Germany: Judge Sentenced to 2 Years for Banning Masks in Schools

Less known than C.J. Hopkins' stunning verdict, a family judge in Weimar is feeling the 'full force of the law'--watch and learn what 'they' have in store for dissenters

Editorial preliminary: yes, the travesty of the verdict vs. C.J. Hopkins is obvious, but today I would like to direct your attention to another case that was, arguably, a bit more sinister in its origins and completely off the charts in its outcome.

Germany 2023: Judge Sentenced to 2 Years (on Probation)

Because he had lifted mask requirement in two schools, family judge Christian Dettmar was sentenced to two years prison on probation.

By Thomas Oysmüller, TKP.at, 23 Aug. 2023

In April 2021, the Weimar family judge Christian Dettmar lifted the mask requirement at two schools in Weimar via a court order. A trial against Dettmar followed suit, which many considered a political show trial. Now, the verdict was published on Wednesday [23 Aug. 2023], which sentenced Dettmar to two years imprisonment on probation. TKP reported on the case during the proceedings, and the political abuse of the judiciary is clearly evident.

Judge Acted Against Covid Mandates

The state prosecutor [Staatsanwaltschaft] wanted to see Dettmar in prison. His crime? Dettmar’s court order—which declared masks in schools illegal on grounds of child abuse [no kidding, Judge Dettmar is correct about this, hence his trial]—could not left standing, and the state prosecutor alleged in court that Dettmar ‘wanted to set an example against the state corona rules’. He abused children for it, the prosecution argued. According to the state, it was not the mask requirement that was abuse, but the exemption from it.

The family judge consciously ruled against the mask mandate in order to ‘act against the Covid protection measures’, and for this purpose he specifically looked for and abused children, claimed the public prosecutor.

Dettmar replied:

To this day I don’t know why I’m sitting here. I have three adult children myself. The everyday life of the school children occupied me at the time. I saw danger ahead. The reports I used [to ground my ruling on] came from experienced university professors.

And: He was the first judge in the German-speaking world to use reports at all. After a year of Covid mandate shenanigans!

Dettmer has now received a two-year suspended sentence for perverting the course of justice [Rechtsbeugung].

Educational Justice = Lawfare

Attorney Beate Bahner comments:

This decision by the Erfurt district court against judge Christian Dettmar shows: Anyone who does not follow will be punished. Corona, in particular the mask tyranny, the vaccine tyranny, and everything related to it, will go down as another very dark chapter of German justice in the 21st century. After almost 30 years of practicing law, I am truly dismayed.

Ms. Bahner is echoed by Lawyer Marcus Haintz on the determination of the suspended detention: ‘What happens so often happens. The sentence, which I believe is unjust, is just being suspended on probation.’

In a Telegram posting, Haintz also reminds readers that similar cases have already occurred:

Here is a case from 2022 for comparison. At that time, a judge who illegally committed at least 18 teens to mental institutions and thus depriving them of their freedom, was acquitted. To justify their plea in favour of the judge, the state prosecutor held that the accused’s professional overload situation had played a role in his actions. In addition, he apparently did not act without ‘unrelated motives’ [sachfremde Motive]: the court had previously found violations of ‘mandatory procedural rules’ in these cases. Moreover, the judge had voluntarily taken on the cases in question, i.e., he could have refused them.

What Haintz wants to say is clear: judges who free children from the mask are persecuted in Germany. Judges who illegally commit people to psychiatric care [sic] are acquitted. The best Germany that ever was, AD 2023.

Bottom Lines

Of course, the above ruling is a disgrace, and I fear it is that kind of lawfare—institutionalised abuse by state authorities—that will have a much bigger impact in Germans’ everyday life than, say, the plight of C.J. Hopkins.

Mind you, I’m not saying Mr. Hopkins’ sentencing isn’t problematic (to say the least), but in terms of its relative value for the everyday life of citizens-returning-into-subjects-once-more in Germany, the above case(s) are probably more important.

Certainly, other ‘alternative’ media outlets also reported on the above case, and if you’re so inclined, do check out both the above-linked example of the judge who committed people to mental institutions illegally.

Or Boris Reitschuster’s reporting on the above case, which you can find here (it’s in German, but machine translation works o.k.), who also points to yet another literal perversion of justice bedevilling Germany these days (my translation and emphases):

Finally, here is the settlement already mentioned above. Dettmar was sentenced to two years for overriding what we now know to be an absurd regulation. In Augsburg in 2021, a judge was fined 1,800 euros for possession of child pornography. The man was known for passing particularly harsh sentences. In 2018, he fined a bakery salesman 1,800 euros (the same amount he later received himself) for stealing a schnitzel and sausages worth 19.87 euros! This judge had obtained thousands of child abuse depictions—among other things from criminal files that he had as a judge. Unlike Judge Dettmar, he was only sentenced to a fine. This was preceded by a ‘plea deal’—the child pornography consuming judge received such a lenient sentence in exchange for resigning from his office as a judge.

Apart from all the disgust one could marshal in this instance, hence the massive repression of dissent, which, in the EU commences today, courtesy of the entry into force of the EU’s ‘Digital Services Act’ today, 25 Aug. 2023.

Hence the many people who lose faith in the intentions of public institutions, in particular the judiciary’s independence.

A storm is brewing, and soon the whirlwind will arrive—we’ll find out soon who and what will remain standing.
