As part of the initiative "Track and delete" Media houses in Rhineland-Palatinate have so far filed 41 criminal charges against hate comments on the Internet. In 8 of these cases it was possible to determine the suspects, in 14 other proceedings are still being investigated, reported the Rhineland-Palatinate State Secretary of Justice Philipp Fernis (FDP) on Friday in Mainz. "Our claim was and is: hatred and agitation on the Internet should not only be deleted, but their authors should also be consistently prosecuted."
Hate comments on the Internet are increasing and are directed primarily against moderators, reported Verena Kober from the ZDF judicial office. Comments ranged from extremely derogatory remarks to death threats. "We report every criminally relevant process."
Most of the 41 cases related to television and therefore came from the SWR and ZDF, said the director of the state media authority, Marc Jan Eumann. A moderator of the radio station RPR1 was also approached. In addition to these three stations, the law enforcement authorities and the media supervisory authority – the state media authority – the radio stations bigFM and Rocklandradio as well as the daily newspapers are also participating in the project "Rheinpfalz", "Rhein newspaper", "general newspaper" and "Trierian friend of the people".
The threshold for advertisements is set relatively high and conscious within the project "first extreme cases" been covered, said Fernis. By no means can all problematic posts on the net be successfully prosecuted. "It is relatively easy to find reinforcements for abnormal cheeses online." Society will have to solve this problem in the next few years. "We will regulate very little with criminal law, most we will regulate with education"said Eumann.

There was a dispute with several hundred bathers involved in an outdoor swimming pool in Düsseldorf. After several emergency calls, the police arrived on Saturday with dozens of officers and tried to mediate.
"The arriving emergency services found a group of several hundred people, mostly young men, who had surrounded a family and yelled at them"the police said. "The father stood protectively in front of his family and was involved in arguments and a brief tussle with individuals from the group." Reportedly, the father is said to have previously opposed some young men who misbehaved in the bathroom and jumped over spread blankets and bathers. Then more young men showed solidarity with the troublemakers and surrounded the family.
Since the situation threatened to escalate in the opinion of the police, further emergency teams were called. The police tried to separate the opponents from each other. Thereupon the officials from the larger group were molested. Individuals had thrown cartons of drinks in the direction of the emergency services or tried to provoke the police by challenging them. In this situation, the police also used pepper spray, but no one was injured, said a police spokesman.
