One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years.
It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Apropos Stolpersteine (1):
Ich musste im Winter an das Foto des Mannes denken, der mit verschränkten Armen, beim Hitler-Besuch 1936 in Hamburg in der Menge steht, umgeben von den Lemmingen.
Es soll sich um August Landmesser gehandelt haben.
Auch er hat in seiner Heimat Hamburg einen Stolperstein.

Bin heute an Heidenau vorbeigekommen und hab gestoppt. Damit das auch noch mal Bilder ergibt. Die fünf bisherigen Stolpersteine (die auch bleiben sollen) sind sehr zentral gelegen. Einer für den früheren BM Paul Gröger ist direkt vor dem Rathaus.

Heidenau: AfD und CDU wollen Stolpersteine aus dem öffentlichen Raum verbannen und das Gedenken auf den Friedhof verlagern. Ein durchsichtiger und schäbiger Versuch, die Opfer der Nazis erneut aus der Stadt hinauszuwerfen. Dass CDU-Abgeordnete der AfD dafür die Hand reichen, ist ein Skandal.
