Refugees tear through police lines at Macedonian border

GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) - Thousands of migrants stormed across Macedonia's border on Saturday, overwhelming security forces who threw stun grenades and lashed out with batons before apparently abandoning a bid to stem their flow through the Balkans to western Europe.

Some had spent days in the open with little or no food or water after Macedonia on Thursday declared a state of emergency and sealed its borders to migrants, many of them refugees from war in Syria and other conflicts in the Middle East.

But by nightfall on Saturday, thousands had crossed the frontier, milling around the border town of Gevgelija where busses had converged from all over the country and trains left in quick succession to take them north to the next leg of their journey through Serbia.

There was no official word from the government, but the level of organization suggested authorities had opted to move the migrants on as quickly as possibly, having tried and failed to keep them out with razor wire, teargas and stun grenades.

All evil needs to prevail is for good men to do nothing in the face of it.

They’re taking over because no one is stopping them.

Some people in Germany and Greece are starting to understand that this is all just as much an invasion for conquest as was Germany’s attack into France in 1939 or into Russia in 1941. It is probably too late for them. More invading troops are across the borders from their south than the Germans ever got into France and Russia.

Moslems believe that they have a right to whatever non Moslems possess, goods, women, everything. It’s in the Koran and the Hadiths.

Well growth in interest in Donald Trump proves it.

Build a massive wall like what Israel has and be done.

Maybe we should have buses at our southern border and ship them to Canada.

How long before they discover that bullets work better than stun grenades?

Words have meaning, words have power.

These are not immigrants nor refugees nor even aliens: they’re invaders.

These lazy migrants don't deserve what others have built. Send them back.

Depends on who they are. Are the Christians escaping a murderous caliphate, or are they Muslims invading to become destroyers of the existing cultures?

I know that Obama has tried desperately to create revolt here in America and has failed miserably. We're like the black belts of societies who don't strike back because of discipline and civility. But we know we can.

Revolt can be handled in ways other than direct confrontation, with plausible deniability. "Accidents", IEDs, ambushes appearing to be mere criminal activity...

THOSE GIVING THE ORDERS should be at the top of the target list.

We better change that philosophy because defense is a losing strategy.
