Double Standards in Austria

David Irving got a jail sentence of 3 years in Austria for expressing his opinion about the holocaust. So what did an actual violent antisemite get for real attacks?

"An Austrian court sentenced a 24-year-old Croatian man to 15 months in jail on Wednesday for smashing up a Jewish school with a crowbar in an anti-Semitic rampage last year. The man, whose name was not released pending a possible appeal, told the court "there are two many Jews in this country" and justice officials said his failure to show any remorse for the attack contributed to the jail sentence.

Words seem to matter a lot more than deeds in screwed-up Austria.
