As a german, I can say it can't get any more german in this article: Police, meat, boomers, neigbor disputes, violence over ridiculously minor disputes. Everyday stories.

Of course there is a long, compound German word for it

Theres always a long German compound word for it.

It's actually austrian and is used when someone puts sauce on a wiener schnitzel but I figured it fits the situation since it literally means Schnitzelcrime.

Was it a chicken or a veal snitzel?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Pork is the best schnitzel.

[–] l_isqof@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Let's try not to get the police involved here as well...

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I know you don’t want them involved because they’d agree with me.

[–] l_isqof@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Try tell that to the judge

They’d agree pork is best too.
