    Ströbele, that German politician, is somewhat of a kindred spirit.

    Making bad things worse out of idealism or naivité, whatever you want to call it. Both righteous activists, which you have to respect, but unfortunately without the backbone to stand up for their actions.

    As an attorney in the 70s Ströbele smuggled contraband into prison for the imprisoned Baader-Meinhof gang, they used the gear he brought in to coordinate their suicide action. Ströbele wasn't the gun mule but he knew that his clients, unrepentant murderers, had been provided with firearms. Goes without saying that after the deaths he accused the German government and murdering his clients, conspiracy and that.
