Eastern Germany Hit by Riots after Deadly Stabbing Spree
Demonstrators chant “Merkel must go” and “Close the borders”
The fatal stabbing of a German by a group of migrants triggered riots in the eastern German city of Chemnitz. Several thousand demonstrators took to the streets on Monday night calling for an end to Chancellor Merkel’s open borders policy, media reports say.
Around two thousand right-wing protesters clashed with a thousand left-wing counter-demonstrators on Monday evening, according to German media reports. Earlier, hundreds gathered in the city center on Sunday after a 35 year-old man died after being stabbed at the town fair. Two men, of Syrian and Iraqi origin, were arrested in connection with the killing.
Legal Insurrection reports:
The local newspaper Thüringer Allgemeine covered the clashes on Monday:
The protests carried out by right- and left-wing demonstrators in the Chemnitz inner city on Monday evening left at least two people injured. The police didn’t rule out that the number [of causalities] could rise. Fireworks and objects were reportedly hurled. The eyewitnesses talk about an aggressive atmosphere.
On Sunday, a spontaneous demonstration after the death of a 25 year-old German at the town fair turned against immigrants. Bottles and stones were thrown at the police. Video footage in internet show how migrants were attacked and “down right hunted.”
Germany has often seen demonstrations against the government’s open borders policy, but the level of violence and anger witnessed in Chemnitz took both the police and politicians by surprise.
Police initially underestimated the public outrage over the killing and was unprepared to handle the thousands of demonstrators who in their thousands chanted “Merkel must go” and “Close the borders”. “We were shocked by the size of the crowds that passed us by,” Robert Gruner, spokesman for the city of Chemnitz told reporters.
True to form, Chancellor Merkel condemned the “right-wing violence,” but did not mention the brutal murder that led to the rioting. Seems the term “cause and effect” is meaningless, at least for Chancellor Merkel.

Coming soon to a liberal cesspool near you.
Oh wait–already here. I have sympathy for those trying to come here legally. The process is long, convoluted, and expensive. That being said, do it the right way, or stay the fuck home.
“The process is long, convoluted, and expensive.” Yeah, like most every other government function.
It seems that Angela has made some massive mistakes which are coming back to bite her where it hurts the most. She is now backpedaling on her climate policies, because many, many German people have been unable to pay their utility bills and have no light or heat as a result. And in Germany, not having heat is not a good thing.
I can truly believe she really is dumb enough to ignore the real cause of these riots.
Keep it up, Deutschlanders. Kick her otu of office now.
She was East German. The arrogance of those barely reformed Nazis turned communists is hardly surprising, and is probably terminal.
She is a communist so her policies are no surprise.
Her real name is Moronic Merkel! lol
Merkel
Former East German Youth Party communist.
She also served in the East German military. Saw a pic of her in uniform. I bet John Brennan is a big fan, since he is also a former commie (supposedly former).
Alleged!
Just like Soros collaborated with the Nazis against his own people, Ted Kennedy murdered a woman and tried to cover it up, Robert Byrd was leader of a KKK chapter instead of serving in WWII, and there’s a polygamist (perhaps incestuous) woman running for congress in MN if you’re on the left end of the spectrum, you can do no wrong.
Yeah, no. Ask anyone who had the ‘pleasure’ of living in the former Soviet Union about their views on communism. I doubt you will find many supporters.
Merkel’s party is the CSU/CDU (Christian Social/Democratic Union), which is (for European standards) conservative and center-right on he political spectrum. Alleging that she is a communist because of her membership in a youth organization or the military (which was compulsory, btw), is like saying the former pope was a Nazi because he was in the Hitler youth.
Mao is center-right.
By European standards.
Service in the DDR’s military (NVA) was compulsory, starting in the early 1960s – for males. Military service does not appear ever to have been compulsory for women in the DDR.
And in any case, Merkel doesn’t appear to have served in the NVA. Rather, she received a doctorate in physics and later worked for the DDR’s Academy of Science for a number of years.
Regarding politics: membership in Communist youth organizations (or the East Germen ruling party, the SED) was not compulsory. However, both were definitely “career enhancing” moves for the ambitious. Merkel was definitely a member of the SED’s youth organization, both while in school and while working as a young physicist at the DDR’s Academy. And if her contemporaries are to be believed, she took a far more active role in promoting Communism when living in the DDR than her public statements today indicate.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/new-book-suggests-angela-merkel-was-closer-to-communism-than-thought-a-899768.html
Bottom line: Merkel appears to have been an ambitious opportunist who kept a finger in the air to see which way the political wind was blowing. She “toed the party line” in the DDR when it was to her advantage, then dumped her Communist past when it was clear reunification was a “done deal”.
“Ask anyone who had the ‘pleasure’ of living in the former Soviet Union about their views on communism”
I have. My neighbor’s wife was born and raised there. She is now a US citizen but trying to get her to understand the concept of individual liberty took a long long time.
My mother left Communist Czechoslovakia in 1966… she had nothing positive to say about it and I have never actually met anyone else in my travels to Slovakia who had anything positive to say either.
My godfather married a woman from Poland, her take on the whole communism thing was something like this – in Poland at least if you really wanted to insult someone you said they were a good communist. RIP Aunt Josephine, I miss your take on things!
How does being an individual supporting secure borders and not turning your nation into a Wahhabist hotbed nest make them “right-wing”? Or is that term used purposely to insinuate they are Nazi’s?
Yes.
Good thing that right-wing violence isn’t going on here. Here we permit only Leftists to topple statues, hit people with bicycle locks, sucker punch people, break recruiting-office windows, and burn things at random.
Sadly it is just gonna get worse, until we can take OUR country back.
Running a protester over with a car doesn’t count?
depends of the state
Actually, no, b/c the event to which you refer was not a conservative rally or even a pro-Trump rally. It was a KKK/Nazi-driven event and the driver of the car that plowed into people, killing one, was one of THEM.
I know conservative types want to disavow them, but what side of the political spectrum do you think Nazis and Klansmen fall on? Hint: the rally was literally called “unite the right.” And no, I’m not saying all conservatives are racists (far from it). But the fact remains that their political beliefs, white supremacy aside, are conservative and they would identify themselves as such.
Hint: Calling an orange an apple doesn’t make the orange an apple. KKKers and neo-Nazis are not about to call their rallies “Bring the Hate and a Crowbar” any more than the modern Brown Shirts who call themselves Antifa will call themselves what they are. As for the KKers and neoNazis having conservative political beliefs, I couldn’t disagree more. They are not conservatives and if they identify as such (you say it’s fact?) that doesn’t make the oranges apples. Besides, most of those morons are just that, morons, barely literate and a bunch of life’s losers–not unlike antifa, the Brown Shirts in black masks.
The German Nazi Party were National Socialists.
The KKK was literally an arm of the D-rat party. Robert Byrd? KKK Grand Cyclops.
The KKK’s heyday? it was in the South when the D-rat party had a stranglehold on power, notably in the days of Jim Crow.
You lose.
Here’s a little reading for Some Guy on the topic:
https://www.history.com/topics/ku-klux-klan
The Klan was the militant arm of the Democratic Party in the south.
You might want to look up the translation of NAZI, Scooter.
Additionally, I highly recommend you pick up and *read* Jonah Goldberg’s book, “Liberal Fascism .”
You make it sound like white supremacy is a large movement in America. It is not. A few hundred people blown up into a massive racist movement by the left.
Smoke and mirrors.
Wrong. The Nazis were Progressives/Statists. They patterned some of their techniques from the Democrats of early last century; the true racist party of this nation’s history.
Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin.
Yep, Nazi’s are only “right-wing” when compared to Communists… it was a description they encouraged to take power away from the Commies when Germany was up for grabs between wars..and like 2/17 apples to oranges
The subject photo on the prior article should be more accurate here. Germany has been holding a gun to their own heads for at least the past decade by importing millions of people that definitely do not want to assimilate into German culture.
Assimilation is a dirty word there, as it is here. Immigrants aren’t expected to assimilate any longer. That’s so yesterday. Today, we celebrate the retention of one’s native language, national heritage, and ethnic identity.
Yeah, it’s all about diversity. The Mexicans and rag heads are allowed to retain their cultural identity and we have to accept that. Our not accepting it, our expecting that they conform to the social norms of our country, the norms that made us a (once) great nation, simply proves we are a bunch of knuckle dragging, racist rednecks. Well, then I’m a knuckle dragging, racist redneck. Get your happy ass here legally. No. I didn’t say that. That proves I’m a racist.
Diversity is bullshyt that destroys a nation….UNITY is what holds a nation together…the liberal morons, the leftist a.h.s, the dumocrap liars and thieves…are ALL against UNITY…just as the NWO told them to be! imho
Sounds to me like all they need is a little Liebensraum and they’ll be more accommodating as we all move forward to a new and greater peace.
You’re absolutely right, Neville! Well said. That’s precisely the type of approach needed to secure peace in our time. Precisely.
I knew someone here would get my slow witted sense of humor…thanks amigo!
Now there y’all go again, trying to teach a history lesson in civics class.
One could easily argue it’s the Muslims now parting of their Liebensraum.
*Snicker*
Not sure if you did that on purpose, had a freudian slip, or just dumb luck, but Liebensraum translates a bit differently than Lebensraum. Either way, you’re right. A couple of love shacks might help ease the tension with the immigrants too! 😉
one needs a liebensraum to enjoy a liebchen..
Neville is no kraut. He did the best he could.
Well for the benefit of those of us that don not speak NAZI…interpret please lol
“There will be peace, in our time”
Appeasement always works, ask Stalin, Chamberlain, Vichy and a whole bunch of French people…
Merkel also left the Catholic Church for Lutheranism. Not to be critical of the religion but they activly promote open borders.
Germany’s problem is Merkel.
Pope Francis isn’t doing much better with the Catholic church… he’s all for a socialist worldview.. and to be sure people that believe like him don’t suffer, he’s come out saying the death penalty is never justified.
Plus they have that whole raping kids thing going on….no doubt he’s pre-occupied with a lot right now…
Yep, he’s been working hard to cover that up…
The Pope was raised as a Marxist.
The resignation of his predecessor foretold something wrong in the church and here we are.
The church brought this communist in so the progressives will leave the church alone. They can now say, Hey look! We’re on your side, tell him what to say and he will say it. Problem with that is that Progressives hate religon, (even Islam, who they think they can control). I guess so that if they ever did get their “New World Utopia” they would not start executing all the clergy. Just the low level priest and nuns, leave the higher ups alone. But they don’t realize that they have been measured for the trench they are going to be buried in.
I have bitten my lip until I tasted my own blood on this Pope Francis business, but I’ve just about had it with that man and the child molesters he protects while pretending otherwise. The latest story is very, very unsettling. I say loose the hounds and if we end up with only 11 priests worldwide who are clean, so be it.
Trust me on this one…
The illegality touches a lot of people out there in the world…
And the hurt never, never, ever goes away…
I miss Pope Benedict XVI !!!!
It’s been said that he retired from being Pope because he couldn’t stand the entrenched corruption and cronyism.
I believe it. When he resigned citing health concerns I expected he wasn’t long for this world. That obviously is not the case.
Where would Christianity be without the death penalty?
I see what you did there.
Crucifixion joke? Too soon.
No, Mason, 2000 years is good. (And that question had me rolling on the floor.)
Should have put the /sarc tag in. I thought it was a brilliant joke. But then I once severely angered my grandma during a conversation about the Heaven’s Gate cult when I pointed out that in the beginning people though Christianity was a cult too.
I think Pope Francis is a heretic, personally.
Hard to argue with that take GB
imho, thats because the pope is the false prophet, directed by satan who wants a one world order with his puppet the anti christ in charge!
Y’all said it all.
Coming soon to Portlandia. And Berkeley. Maybe Austin.
This is all Trump’s fault.
I don’t know how, but I’m sure it is. Let me go check CNN and I’ll report back how Trump is to blame.
Yes, I confirmed that. Their source has been discredited and has backtracked but CNN is sticking with the story! What an outfit. If you can’t trust CNN, who can you trust?
Every time I need a pick-me-up I watch the press conference Trump did with May when he swatted down that harebrained turd CNN puts in the WH press corps and Acosta’s weak, whimpering, little bitch of a response “We’re a real network.”
That and the 11-9-16 tearfests always bring my mood up.
Unfortunately it may be too late to lock the barn door… Merkel has already allowed millions of unskilled, social program dependent, non-assimilating, western hating, and even “some” low life criminals into the country.
The influx has been billed as a humanitarian gesture that would also help with labor shortages… You know, folks to do the jobs that Germans don’t want to do. Unfortunately, most of the migrants don’t or won’t work. And why should they, plenty of free stuff to go around…
Their social problems are already heading to the USA…
merkel. damn, lady, this is really, historically, decidedly *not* the direction you want Germany heading in…
One needs a liebensraum for their leibchen…yes?
That’s what you get when you allow masses of non-vetted, uneducated and unskilled third world muzzie fleabags into your Nation and it isn’t just Germany, look at [Formerly] Great Britain, France and Sweden as well where the fleabag goat molesters have done the same in the name of touchie-feelie-everyone-gets-a-hug liberalism. Liberals want to turn their nation into third world shitholes and ones like Merkel have discovered they can almost do it overnight by importing hordes of hadjis!
Europe is very likely about to revert to its millennium-plus track record of massacre and pogrom.
We threw a wet blanket on that abattoir in 1945. We gave them a chance to outgrow thier history. What did they do with the opportunity? For the last few decades they have been doing everything in their power to set up for a return to slaughter-as-usual.
One side, other side, ‘nother side, it wont matter.
Now, wait a minute. We’re talking about Europe – and in particular, about Germany. They have kultur. Racist pogroms and mass murder on an industrial scale could never happen there!
(I hope the sarcasm above is self-evident.)
Simpson’s quote: “We Germans are not a warlike people.”

“Ve Germans are not all smiles und sunshine!”
Formation of the EU with the loss of one’s culteral identity has created a lot of pent up energy. Europe will once again become a killing field. I won’t be here to say I told you so but I will try to write home.
Mutti Merkle is struggling to remain in power – and that is what is important to her.
I really don’t think that much of Europe has the philosophical or psychological basis to understand what they are doing to themselves. The philosophies of Jean Paul Sarte and Martin Heidigger have born fruit, and the antipathy or outright hostility to religion (any of the Judeo-Christian flavors, that is) keep them from accepting the truths that are right there in front of them.
Ideas matter. Words matter. Politics that is nothing but power-seeking will destroy Western Civilization.
Here in Australia we have had one boat load of Illegal immigrants arrive in 4 years. The day after 10 of them were rounded up and will be sent back home with in the next week. The other 14 are still being hunted down. The reason they are not all in custody is they landed 100 miles North of Cains which is virgin jungle and crocodile infested mangrove swamps. If the cops don’t get them the crocks will. Our Conservative Government closed the boarders 4 years ago to stop the hordes of economic refugees coming into the country via the back door. It has worked well. Germany can have any that can’t get past our Navy. We have enough who are causing all sorts of problems now. Home invasions and muggings, as well as complaints about rascal discrimination from white Australians. I just pray that the other political mobs don’t get a go at opening the boarders again, ammo is getting so dam expensive these days, one can’t afford a warning shot any more.
Ken – I have a LOT of respect for the Australian government for their strict policies on illegal immigration..
“If you come to Australia illegally, you will NEVER make Australia your home.”
We’re trying here in the USA. Unfortunately, we aren’t an island… dammit!
Dam it; Dig a moat around the country and fill it with angry crocks. That will get the Greenies backs up.
It’s funny how much you all complain about this current situation in Germany when it was your parents who created it.
What the fuck are you talking about?
What are you like six years old?
Fuck off, you drunk shitlord.
GO BACK to your job as Apprentice Towel Boy at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in Rear).
Because they destroyed your Socialist utopia?

“protests carried out by right- and left-wing demonstrators ”
I really hate the Right/Left paradigm for describing political leanings. The fact that “the Right” has now become synonymous for Hitler doesn’t help my feelings about it, but I hate it mostly because it is limited and inaccurate. Fascism is “Right”? Don’t think so. If conservatism is on the right, then Fascism should be real far from right as it is a government heavy ideology. [Note: Fascism is specifically a term that could describe the Italian, German and possibly Spanish governments in the 30s and 40s. Its actual usage in 2018 has lost all of its meaning and now pretty much just means “Conservatives are evil”.]
A better system would probably be a quad-chart with amount of Personal Freedom on one axis and economic freedom running the other.
The problems: 1) It’s way more complicated (by 100%!) Most people are more interested in Facebook celebrity bathroom mirror selfies than learning dumb stuff about politics (except that Trump colluded or something) and
2) It doesn’t help reinforce the idea that if you get more and more conservative, you eventually turn into Hitler.
Merkel is a clown.
She was severely weakened in the last election.
Surprised there is not a recall vote.
