German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced on Friday that prosecutors were allowed to charge German comedian Jan Böhmermann based on a poem he broadcasted on German TV that insulted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
All because the President of Turkey felt insulted and because Merkel wants something from him.
What the …??

What!? That is downright baffling! Could you IMAGINE a world where comedians get prosecuted for this? IMO, comedians are one of the last of free speakin’ folk. We should educated them and send them out into the world to save it!
Yeah, but not if the leaders of Western countries start arresting them because the leader of s non-free country feels offended.
