Hungary: Court Acquits woman Who Kicked, Tripped Migrants

Breitbart: The Hungarian camerawoman who made headline news after she was filmed tripping up migrants as they ran away from police has been acquitted by the country’s top court.

As Breitbart London reported at the time of the incident, which took place at the height of Europe’s migrant crisis in September 2015, Petra Laszlo was fired from her job at right-wing broadcaster N1TV when the footage of her kicking a girl and tripping up a man and his son was broadcast across the globe.

Following international outrage over the clip, Laszlo apologised for her actions in a letter published by newspaper Magyar Nemzet explaining that she “panicked” after hundreds of migrants broke out of a holding camp close to the Hungary-Serbia border and rushed a police line.

Sentenced to three years probation in January last year, the Hungarian was acquitted on Tuesday by the country’s highest court when it ruled that her actions, “while morally incorrect and illicit”, did not amount to criminal activity, and noted it had taken into account the context of “an assault by several hundred migrants fleeing a police intervention”.  read more

  1. I respect Hungarians. They’re tough, they make good food, and they drink Golden Pear Liqueur or use it to strip paint.
    I challenge anybody here to take a drink without barfing. Get back to me on that.
