Expelled, huh? I didn't know you could expel people from cities. How does that work?
ex·pel
/ikˈspel/
verb
verb: expel; 3rd person present: expels; past tense: expelled; past participle: expelled; gerund or present participle: expelling
deprive (someone) of membership of or involvement in a school or other organization.
"she was expelled from school"
force (someone) to leave a place, especially a country.
"eight diplomats were expelled from Norway for espionage"
Similar:
banish
Easiest way is to point a gun at them and say "leave or die" but there really is no end to how you can forcibly remove someone from your country.
I'm going to assume English isn't your first language, Expulsion from a school or program is a common term, but it also means forcefully removed in other situations as well.
I don't think the question was "what does that mean". It was "how did they do that?". How do you expel people from a city? You can be banned from living in or visiting a city in that country? Or do they mean that they managed to quash the movement?
Thanks for this. No, English isn't my first language and yes, ofc I understand what it means. My question was indeed more about the legal/judicial, as well as logistical aspects. I've heard of things such as exile which means a citizen is banned from their country - not city - and forbidden from returning: But I've only heard that happening like back in the middle ages, no idea if modern countries still have legal bases for that. Then you'd have to have some sort of permit for staying in a country that you're not a citizen of, and revoking such a permit is certainly easy enough, but I'm just gonna assume those nazis were mostly Swedish citizens. Next, groups of criminals, including nazis (nazi activity in and of itself is a criminal offence in some countries) are often disbanded by the police, as in their organization is found out, convicted of criminal activities and forbidden from reconvening. Anyhow, this story is about them getting expelled from a city, which is why it all sounds a bit like folklore. I can't think of a legal basis, at least in my country, for forbidding a citizen from living in a certain municipality. Maybe by expelled, they just meant expelled to prison 😄
Suddenly Victor appears in my head...
EXPULSION
“Expelled” doesn’t just mean “from the body” or “expelled from school”. Synonyms are exiled, banned, barred, driven/thrown/cast out, transported, ostracised etc. In the UK we still occasionally expel people from towns using antisocial behaviour orders. Can they still sneak back in? Sure. But if they’re caught they can be fined, arrested and even jailed. If you have an electronic tag you don’t even need to be caught in person.
Yeah, that's basically the kind of thing I was asking about. No idea if we have that in Austria - or if Sweden has it, for that matter
It's quite a common tactic by police in sweden to take anyone from from nazis to "that dude looks shady"-folks in a van and drive them out of town so they'd have to travel for a while to get back.
Like in First Blood?!
I find that hard to believe considering that police is and always have been fascist institutions. In fact, if you want to find the source of a Nazi infestestation in any town or city in the west, your first stop should be the local pig-shop.
That sounds surprising similar to starlight tours… are they similarly abused?
