wasnt there a (weak) movement to revoke arnold's austrian citizenship because of his stance on the death pentalty? isnt the general consesus that austria is ashamed of him?

That's somewhat true I guess. Basically, when all the publicity about The Tookie Monster got around, the city back there that adopted him threatened to remove his name from a stadium built in his honor. Arnold had his team of lawyers fly to Austria last month and forced the town to remove his name and likeness from all things they had of him in the city (and that was quite a few things). The city offered to revoke their threat of taking his name off the building, Arnold refused and his name is now no longer associated with the city in any way.

Translated the Socialist party and Green party are ashamed of him.
On a recent radio show the majority of Austrians who phoned in said that although they did not support the death penalty they still supported Arnold and the fact that he was upholding a court decision.
