> Oulu District Court dismissed an attempted murder charge, ruling instead that the teenage defendant was guilty of attempted manslaughter committed as a criminally unaccountable young person, citing a lack of evidence presented in the case that the act was deliberately premeditated.
Not entirely certain what evidence judges were looking for here when 15-year-old was pretty clear of his intentions.
”One day last June, a 15-year-old boy wearing a t-shirt with a Waffen SS symbol” He better be happy that they didn’t win the war, otherwise he would have most likely been somewhere in Eastern Europe or Poland.
They said he hasn’t been able to return to work because of his injury and recovery. Surely someone could help with a reasonable accommodation so he can return to his previous employment. He wasn’t let go for this right? That wouldn’t be legal would it?

This seems crazy considering the kid literally posted about it beforehand and he had a knife with a swastika on it. Surely the fact that this kid had to find a way to buy a knife with a swastika on it shows some sort of premeditation?
I am really wondering what the legal system considers to be premeditation. Because writing “I want to go and kill someone brown” seems like it is the most clear cut proof.
I’m coming to live in Finland to get away from nazi’s here in the U.S. I didn’t expect to see that kind of violence or hatred in Finland. Is this a very rare sentiment among people or more common?
