There was no charge of contempt. Nothing happened. "It was strange to observe how the behavior of each side reinforced that of the other: the savage impudence which gradually made it possible for the unpleasant, little apostle of hate to assume the proportions of a demon; the bafflement of his tamers, who always realized just too late exactly what he was up to...then also the hypnotic trance into which his public fell, sucumbing with less and less resistance to the glamour of depravity and the ecstasy of evil."

If Weimar authorities had acted more aggressively to suppress political thuggishness, the Nazis would never have come to power.
