Man mordet ein bisschen, man pöbelt drauflos, man lässt hilflose Flüchtlinge ertrinken, man bewilligt (ohne die erforderliche Zustimmung der zuständigen Finanzbehörden) einen Millionen-Steuer-„Rabatt“ für einen dubiosen Arzt, man schlägt einen S-Bahn-Passagier tot, hetzt einen flüchtenden U-Bahn-Fahrer unter vorbeirasende Autos. Und dann blökt man dieses empörende, selbstgefällige „Ich entschuldige mich“.

An endless medieval bestiary generator.
Н is N, m is t!
