Hundreds of migrants attempted to break through a fence on the Greece-Macedonia border by charging it with a home-made battering ram. Authorities fired tear gas and stun guns as thousands of refugees congregated at the border to cross into the Balkan country in a bid to make their way across Europe. It comes as Macedonia as well as EU members Slovenia and Croatia and Serbia imposed a daily limit of allowing just 580 migrants into the country per day.

Oh, my. If you try to repel a hostile invasion using water pistols, the prospects for long-term success are modest. Twin .50s would be a minimum.

Ask murkel what to do. She invited them all to come in.

Indee, this is an invading army of mostly fighting age Muslim men using some women and children as cover and shields. Volley fire would stop this attack on the fence.

Too bad they won’t fight as hard for their own country

The very DEFINITION of an invasion....’Guests’ do not require battering rams.

Yet, I suspect, there would be ‘outrage’ if they fired anything semi-lethal as the invading horde. Sad.

Tear gas and stun guns will not stop this insanity. Hot lead would.

But this isn't an invasion ... If it was an invasion, they'd be using ... battering rams.

Oh.

My stupid ex-best friend actually flew to Macedonia over the summer and married one of these savages. She’s all over facebook crying about how her “beloved” is being mistreated because he’s not able to leave the country by land and that “silly no-fly list thing” he’s on.

Hopefully she won’t turn out to be one of those unfortunate women who go to the Islamic state and turn up later with a horror tale to tell of what happens to them, like some of those reported on in the British press.

They are fighting for “their own” country. They’re purpose is to conquer Europe, obviously.
