A German county has declared an emergency ahead of the arrival of some 1,000 refugees on Monday.

Officials in Main-Taunus county west of Frankfurt say the unusual action aims to make it easier for authorities to cope with the influx, for example by suspending certain building regulations.

In a statement Friday, they said it was the first time since 1945 that a disaster has been declared in the country.

That's the title when I posted this. Sounds like Germany is being invaded for once.

Are they firing up the ovens yet?

The destruction they caused in the 20th century is coming back to bite them...

first time since 1945 that a disaster has been declared ...

may make dresden look minor in ten or so years.

Looks like they’ve already surrendered.

Looks like a type from the Post headline. Should be County not Country.

Hey, what can go wrong ...

Oh my goodness...how tragically unfortunate for decent, caring, law-abiding German people.
Could you imagine the fear they feel being in some tiny town and surrounded by teeming and increasingly belligerent Muslim hordes?
Not to mention many of whom are already radicalized Islamic jihadists or at the very least support their actions.

You feel contemporary German citizens, the vast majority of whom were not around 1933-1945, somehow deserve this? Wow.

Stupidly self-inflicted disaster.

The only good that can come of this, is if the rest of the world watches and learns from Germany's incredibly dumb mistake.

6:05 p.m. The U.N. Security Council has adopted a resolution to authorize the European Union and individual countries to seize migrant-smuggling vessels on the high seas off Libya. The resolution is under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which means it can be militarily enforced. It also authorizes the EU and individual nations to board vessels “with a view to saving the threatened lives of migrants or of victims of human trafficking.” The search-and-seizure operation is authorized for one year. The resolution says migrants “should be treated with humanity and dignity.” Council diplomats say migrants on vessels that are seized would be taken to Italy. The EU initially wanted a naval operation that could operate in Libyan territorial waters but Libya objected.

Seems like it was just yesterday.

Merkel invited these refugees. It's her fault whatever happens.

Liberals will be the first to go.

[Nea Wood]

I agree. The average citizen in this German county is having this forced upon them, just like we are having illegal aliens and refugees forced upon us here. Nobody deserves this.

[gr8eman]

Wait until those “refugees” start burning churches and beheading priests. What will Murkle and her synchophants say then?

It’s just really hard for me to believe that inviting thousands and thousands of Muslims into a Western country could go wrong. Hard to fathom.
