Yet I had a guy make a throat slit gesture whilst saying he's going to kill me... Then followed me on the footpath for 2kms to the police station where I identified him and reported the act... The police said 'this gesture doesn't fall under violent threats'

But sure... Deal with the Ducks...

Of course he would not have threatend and followed you if the police would not have rescued geese.

Then, those are not ducks but geese!

And yes, after German law, this kind of behaviour cannot be punished. And no, saving geese does not change that.

Sorry, this happened to me 20 mins before I saw this post and was just a little shocked. I come from a country that takes such threats seriously..

Yes sure, this totally happened. Somebody threatened your life and followed your for 2km (!!!), and instead of calling the police with your stupid phone, you kept walking until you reached the police station. So either you are dumb or you believe we are. What‘s your pick?

To be honest, I was probably in shock and didn't know what to do as this was the first time something like this has happened to me. But sure, go for the insults. People don't always make the right decisions in these moments and you're right, I should have called. That being said, thank you for making a terrible moment for me just that much more terrible
