The death over the weekend of a German man by a group of ‘various nationalities’ was the cause for some shocking scenes portrayed all over European press channels today.
What the media says were far-right supporters could be heard shouting slogans last spoken during the dark days of Germany’s past in the middle of the twentieth century.

The German government condemned the violence towards migrants.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Mr Steffen Seibert declared that "ganging up like that, hunting down people who look different or have a different ethnicity, attempts to spread hatred on the streets we won't accept that".
“The German government condemns the violence seen in the past day in the strictest terms.”

About time this happened! They need to March on Merkel and oust that terrorist bitch!
Kill all Muslims. Kill ANTIFA. Kill anyway who stops decent, law abiding citizens from living their best lives. Enough is enough. Our governments are the enemy. Take the power back!!!!
I'd call it self preservation. It's time people all over occupied Europe start fighting back both politically and physically.
