Of course he meant to do it. He wasn't casually waving his arm around, he did it forcefully and deliberately, and then he did it again. Don't give him some fake "benefit of the doubt" for something he clearly did deliberately.
And isn't it interesting how the Reich wing, who normally downplay things such as autism spectrum disorders in general, were INSTANTLY OK with it as an excuse for this specific act, by this specific person?
Plus the wider context of his previous attitudes toward Nazi voices on twitter. He had to go on an apology tour which included a trip to Auschwitz to "better understand the Holocaust". His family connections to Nazis, his boosting of Nazi tweets, his support of the AfD in Germany.
He can't hide behind the "his heart goes out" excuse because there is video of him doing an entirely different gesture with the same sentiment at one of his companys. He knows the difference.
Glad you're not in charge of the judicial system. "No need to examine the evidence, your honor, I am the sole authority on what that man's intentions are. Not even he knows what his intentions are more than me."
