If you have read my "A ban on the French and Germans?" post, then you will know that a Dutch pizzeria owner "put up signs at his pizzeria with bars through the images of people coloured in the French and German flags" and also he "reprinted his menus without German translations."The reason? He supported the US invasion of Iraqi and wanted to protest the French and German government's opposition.
In that first post I wondered what happened to the guy. Well, now I know. Later in 2003, a Dutch court found him guilty of "racial discrimination." He was ordered to pay an $800.00 fine or be forced to go to jail. Well, the pizzeria owner refused to pay the fine and "will now serve an eight-day sentence at a minimum security prison."
What is more amazing is that the "racist" seems to be the only victim. He already has been "forced to sell his pizzeria ... after repeated vandalism and a plunge in sales." And now jail time awaits. Its a sad story that I hope would never happen in the United States. Stupid Dutch.
