Police and security services in Germany’s eastern state of Thuringia bungled the hunt for three neo-Nazis, who years later turned out to be the main suspects in a far-right murder spree, according to an official report published Thursday.

Laissez-faire capitalism COULD be considered “right-wing”, but it has rarely ever been put into practice anytime in history.
I wish the article had included information on when and why these people changed their political affiliations.
When will the world understand that NAZIs are extreme left wing sons of bitches. There is nothing right wing about them; extreme or otherwise.
