German police have used water cannons to disperse PEGIDA demonstrators in Cologne. The anti-immigration movement were rallying against a rash of assaults on women, blamed on migrants in the city on New Year’s Eve.

If you care to, take a look at the first picture at the link. The German police are out in massive force, with riot gear, tactical vehicles, the whole nine yards.

And for good measure, one cop is pepper-spraying a PEGIDA marcher who is walking away from him. The article does mention that some protestors were throwing firecrackers and bottles.

It's just a shame the German police were not that forceful on New Year's Eve. Hard to figure out, huh?

Merkel is destroying Germany just as surely as Hitler did, and Kaiser Wilhem before that. I guess there is a German National Suicide gene.

Exactly my thoughts. Foreign rapists? "We must accept that immigrants are more criminal." Citizens who want women and children protected? Call out the water cannons, and if that doesn't work, escalate from there!

Those who condemn rape are being judged more harshly than the rapists.

Was that her actual quote? We just have to accept that they are more violent?

“Exactly my thoughts. Foreign rapists? “

Given where Merkel is from, maybe she thinks that this just comes with the territory:

And I saw the police marching with a big tank spraying water on the protesters.

Let me get this straight. 1,700 protesters and the law enforcement is well equipped to deal with them, but 1,000 Muslim men attacking women and law enforcement couldn’t do a thing to stop it.

Yes. Angela Merkel - video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3p7m7-4gOw

http://www.pi-news.net/2011/06/merkel-wir-mussen-migrantengewalt-akzeptieren/ transcription of a couple sentences of Merkel’s words, exactly as I quoted. It also has a three-minute video of the words in context (so you’re not just trusting a somewhat anonymous poster on FR, but my German isn’t good enough that I am willing to transcribe and translate the whole thing.)

Merkel: “Wir mussen akzeptieren, dass die Zahl der Straftaten bei jugendlichen Migranten besonders hoch ist”

My word-by-word translation - look up any key words that are not obvious, or google translate the entire passage:

Wir = We
mussen = must
akzeptieren = accept
dass = that
die = the
Zahl = number
der = of the
Straftaten = offenses/crimes
bei = at
jugendlichen = young/youthful
Migranten = migrants/immigrants
besonders = especially
hoch = high
ist” = is

In context, yes, she meant exactly what I typed.

And they did nothing while bearded savages raped innocent women. Both Germany and this country have chosen to let the savages do whatever they want, and to ignore the safety of the normal people.

Oh, great to see the German government finally reacting to the Rape Jihad and going after those Islamists with a show of force...

OH WAIT... they're going after their own citizens who are unhappy with the Rape Jihad and invasion of filthy vermin from third world ratholes?

A couple years back there was footage of a protester in Germany or Belgium getting a water canon blast to the eyes. It took them right out of his head. Very disturbing.

The German protesters need to be unpredictable. Right now, the authorities can predict what the protesters will and will not do. They don’t know what the rappers will do, but they know it involves fire, overturned cars, and mayhem. Lots of mayhem.

A little history lesson: Germans thought they had won WWI in 1917. Russia had just surrendered (immediately after Bolsheviks seized power). Then in 1917 the advent of tank warfare by the Allied Powers, along with almost simultaneous entry into the war by the U.S., finally broke the German lines (trenches) and changed the course of the war.

The military and the public literally did not understand what had just happened to them (losing, right when it seemed victory was at hand) and the myth of the “Stab in the back” soon took hold, leading to the 1918 German “Revolution”, the disastrous Weimar Republic (Marxist leaning) and the rise of Hitler.

Germans are a very strong people economically and militarily and have been since at least the time of the Roman Empire. It has always been only a matter of time before they wake up and remember their true identity, and put behind themselves the shame and self-imposed weakness that followed upon their WWII genocidal actions and their recently ended “occupied” status.

I predict the Muslims in Germany will get a taste of this soon.

Exactly so. The question is, what will it take, and how long will it be, until the storming of the Bastille?
