Why do they keep referring to the homeowner as “the hunter”?

Not sure but other words like “The slump had been committed in the night of....”. Tells me it is a bad translation.

It did make it an amusing read though I must admit. 8>)

Money quote is at very end:

No doubt the proper course of action would have been to not just hand the poor refugee all his money, credit cards and valuable family heirlooms, but also hand him his wife and daughters along with an apology for being so bigoted as to think he was being robbed rather than enriched by a new culture.

It seems FReeperism has spread to Germany! Or did some FReeper move to Germany to ply his journalism trade?

That last paragraph was a comment by the InformationRevolution.com blogger, not from the original German article.

Albania’s not at war. Why are there any “refugees” in Germany from Albania? The term “refugee” is starting to become meaningless.

The Albanian, who had just celebrated his 18th birthday, broke into a half-timbered house...

So, what's a "half-timbered house"?

It’s a type of construction where you can see the wooden support beams on the outside. It was a very popular construction style in Germany, Britain, Scandinavia, etc. around the time of Shakespeare. You’ll see them all over the place in a historical city like Bamberg, Germany that survived the bombings during WWII. Hotel Roanoke in Virginia is built in the same style.

Ah, that wasn’t obvious in the “excerpt.” I wondered why the English suddenly improved to a native speaker rather than a Google translation.

The Albanians are thought to be descended from the Illyrians who inhabited that area and surrounding areas in Greek and Roman antiquity. The burglar who was killed was presumably from Albania proper, not Kosovo or Macedonia. The Albanians today are about 70% Muslim and 30% Christian (divided between Orthodox and Catholic--Mother Teresa was an ethnic Albanian from what is now the Republic of Macedonia).

They seem to have been there a long time--modern DNA studies show that the present inhabitants of the western Balkans are mostly descended from populations which were there already in the Old Stone Age although some later groups came in--early farmers from Anatolia and speakers of Indo-European languages from the steppes of southern Russia and southern Ukraine (Albanian is an Indo-European language).

Albania endured one of the worst Stalinist regimes under Enver Hoxha, but this kid was born after the fall of Communism.

Refugee, migrant. The both mean a Muslim seeking free access to poontang, money, and someone else’s property.

OK, that style is similar to what our local market calls a Tudor.

This is what Hillary, Obama, all Democrats and at least 40% of the Republican party wants for America.
