The victims were all from India -- their attackers, possible neo-Nazis. A small town in Saxony confronts the possibility of right-wing extremists in their midst.

Early on Sunday morning following the annual Mügeln municipal festival, Singh and seven of his compatriots were pursued across town -- a regular manhunt -- following an apparently harmless jostle on the dance floor. An angry mob made up of dozens of festival-goers chased down the Indians before severely beating them -- shouting racist insults all the while. Six of the pursued made it into Singh's pizzeria and locked themselves in. The rioters kicked in the front and back doors. Windows were smashed and Singh's car was demolished. Only a large squad of 70 policemen was able to force the romping crowd back, although the policemen were themselves attacked using bottles, glasses and benches. The violent rampage left 14 wounded, including four of the attackers, two policemen and all eight Indians.

BTW don't bother yourself over comments coming from the peanut gallery at FR. (Every forum has to have a peanut gallery, cant help.) Dont hold yourself from speaking your mind. Most people dont like to hear the truth.
Right after you provide us with an essay on plantation, slavery, native American massacres, racism and civil right....
” Would this have been a group of muslim immigrants beating up Germans and hurling racial insults, no newspaper would have found this worth reporting. Sickening style of journalism.”
They are only scared of Muslims. Otherwise the Germans haven’t changed since much since the time of Hitler.
I wasn’t defending any of what you posted, Lefty.
geez man......West Germany virtually has been groveling for the sins or the father and grandfather for 60 years now....and the groveling is actually worse now than in the 50s when the perps were still alive and the memories fresh
how can you say they have never dealt with it?
OK.. you and some other Hindu people who like to call themselves “Aryans” and what not need to chill. I dont know, maybe its a religious thing for you guys, but it sounds like BS to me.
Indians are NOT aryans. It sounds ridiculous for asian people to claim to be european. The last time I checked Indians look VERY different from Europeans. Why do you claim Indians are “Aryans” and Hitler liked Indians and such rubbish ?
When he didnt like jewish people of his own country, who are way light skinned than even north Indians, why do you think he would “like” dark skinned Indians ?
Of course not. They are obviously very scared of muslims.
Only 14 year old Jewish kids or a bunch of young Indian men are ripe targets.
I think you are seriously misinformed about India. #1 No, we dont have Ku Klux Klan or its equivalent #2 The concept of BROWN pride is a non-starter, since most Indians like white or olive skin color due to colonialist biases #3 The right wing in India is about religion, not about skin color or race.
Discrimination in India is wrt religion and caste. But it is confined to Indians themselves, not against foreigners. No body in India is that stupid to beat up people because of their hair/eye/skin/arse colors like in Germany.
And whats this about me attacking all “WHITE” people and what not ? I cant attack all “WHITE” people, half my family is White and “non” nerdy, including my wife.
I know for sure that there is a group of people on the other side of the political spectrum, who love to present the EVIL RACIST WHITEY bogeyman to intimidate minority voters into voting for them.
But this issue is different. And Indians are NOT race baiters, as you know.
This issue is about genuine discrimination that needs to be urgently addressed by that country and their society.
BTW, I did half-expect someone to take cudgels on behalf of the entire “western” civilization and make a few well known remarks about “caste”, “cow-worship”, “all Indians being hindus” and such asinine remarks as usual. Thats why the sarcasm in the beginning itself.
But cmon be reasonable. Dont you think the only thing common in western civilization is McDonalds and Ikea ? since each country has its own culture and priorities. You must be knowing it better than me, you been there.
Are you in Analog IC design ?
makes you wonder what these two asshats are doing here doesn’t it?
Rubbish.. unless if by Whites, you mean “MUSLIMS”.. and why do you want to defend the neo-nazis ?
no one likes the BJP man.. me included.. but the issue here is about how foreigners are treated not about conflicts within the same country.
rotflol.. There are Brahmins from southern India, who are even more dark skinned than black people in US... caste is not related to skin color man.
another stereotype: Desi Christian chicks are supposedly sexy, but I had the misfortune of meeting some of the ugliest duds back home frm my own community.
OK fine.. you think its OK for these turds to beat up Indians in broad day light.
What about the way they harassed those little jewish boys playing soccer ? you justify that too based on your wierd concept of “defending western civilization” Gerard Butler style ?
I think they are playing ‘trash the Americans’, a favorite pastime of some of our ingrates-with-a-visa.
Deep common ancestry of Indian and western-Eurasian mitochondrial DNA lineages
About a fifth of the human gene pool belongs largely either to Indo-European or Dravidic speaking people inhabiting the Indian peninsula. The Caucasoid share in their gene pool is thought to be related predominantly to the Indo-European speakers. A commonly held hypothesis, albeit not the only one, suggests a massive Indo-Aryan invasion to India some 4,000 years ago [1]. Recent limited analysis of maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Indian populations has been interpreted as supporting this concept [2,3]. Here, this interpretation is questioned. We found an extensive deep late Pleistocene genetic link between contemporary Europeans and Indians, provided by the mtDNA haplogroup U, which encompasses roughly a fifth of mtDNA lineages of both populations. Our estimate for this split is close to the suggested time for the peopling of Asia and the first expansion of anatomically modern humans in Eurasia [48] and likely pre-dates their spread to Europe. Only a small fraction of the Caucasoid-specific mtDNA lineages found in Indian populations can be ascribed to a relatively recent admixture.
What the fck man ? “Trash the Americans” ? Could you provide ONE friggin reference where I “trashed Americans” ?
And what do you mean “INGRATES” ? INGRATES to whom ? Do you think you OWN me or something to talk in such a disparaging manner ?
You stupid dumbarse, how does pointing out growing neo-nazism upset you or becomes ANTI-AMERICANISM ?
you did your own thread here linking a lefty European mag about white supremacist neo-nazis assaulting non-Germans in Germany to use as a segue to criticize racists (in your opinion) on Free Republic.
and to me...that stinks of PC obsession with race and race baiting
in my view there are probably no unzotted white supremacists currently on board here and 99% of the active racism going on in the US is not by whites but rather against them
and you...a probably well educated well off or soon to be well off Indian who is btw....part of trans Caucasia has a hard on for white racism.....this ain't 1954....white supremacy is dead.........racism is now anti-white more than anything
I can only imagine someone has pissed you off about being Indian....I don’t frankly care...there is no organized hatred of Indians here except maybe some ghetto resentment if you guys on stores there...like Koreans or Laotians etc...and that ain't organized....just riot time racism
what I care about is conservatives for God’s sake to stop playing the charade about racism.........it’s a damn joke..a tool to silence folks about painful truths
and it’s very hypocritical for you to go on about here...given the very intolerance you left back there
and like I said....folks are biased against what they think a culture brings....not that folks are black or brown....
but this does bring up a point........the dominant group here is being marginalized in record time by other groups...most of whom are here illegally....and many...including me are tired of it
now...I guarantee you that the dominant groups in India would behave no different under the same invasion...so quickly
and at the same time where the dominant group is under constant assault for being “mean” about multiculturalism
it gets old...
and yes you can be a White basher regardless whom you married.....some of our biggest PC race baiters are guilty lost their spine whites..
it really boggles my sensibilities how you can so critical of the culture here
and that line about colonial bias....that is revisionist...good lord.....do you really think Indians can only determine pleasant physical features because of what some pink Englishman told them?
that is ridiculous...
you can have the last word......there is no point to this.....were you educated here?
if so...all I can say is damn son.....it's really sad you have this world view. you left behind a third world life....you're here married to an American I gather and living the good life and yet your view is about all that PC crap that haunts you for whatever reason about what's wrong with us.....immigrants in the past did not have such indulgences..and showed more gratitude and humility
What are you a stupid high school dropout or illiterate ?
How does CASTE system even equate with neo-nazism ?
Casteism is within Indians, specifically Hindus only.
Its not against foreigners or jews or muslims or christians.
Neo-nazism and xenophobia are the issues that target people like us - naturalized foreigners in white societies.
see not only do you espouse liberal revisionist junk but you make up what folks say
this thread is here for all to see....and as you already know....no one including me has said "it's ok for these turds to beat up Indians in broad day light"
hence you are lying...making things up suit your desire to get everyone to either accept you how you are or to massage your neurosis
I can't help you. I got over white racism and bigotry back around Christmas break 1969....btw....back when there really were white supremacists around(armed) and not just in your African American Studies textbooks....and you know what else?
Those folks actually appreciated folks like me and my family who stood up for their right to vote. But then the Left and black racists and stupid guilty whites came along and ruined all that was right with that so youngbloods like you could one day come over here from third world nations and get a better life and have to something to bitch about..lol
