Luxury cars targets of meltdown rage
1 Mar 2009
When Berlin resident Simone Klostermann returned from vacation and couldn’t find her Mercedes SLK, she thought it had been towed.
Police told her the $45,000 car had been torched. “They’d squirted something flammable into the car’s engine block in the gap between the windshield and the hood,” said Klostermann.
The 34-year-old’s experience isn’t unique in the German capital. At least 29 vehicles were destroyed in arson attacks this year, most of them luxury cars, according to police.
The number is already about 30% of the total for 2008. The latest to go up in flames was a Porsche, on Feb 14; two days after a Mercedes was set alight in a public car park.
While youths in Athens protest by throwing Molotov cocktails, in Paris by toppling barricades, and in Budapest by hurling eggs at politicians, protesters in Berlin rage at their economic plight by targeting the most expensive cars — symbols of German wealth and power.
A group calling itself BMW — the initials stand for Movement for Militant Resistance in German — has claimed responsibility for several attacks in left-wing magazines and web sites, police spokesman Bernhard Schodrowski said.

Soon to be perpetrated by 0bamanists near you...
They can get away with it in Europe, though, because of the absolute prohibition there on concealed carry.
Damn, I better go put the Maybach in the garage.

So far they’ve been smart (i.e. cowardly) enough to only torch Hum-Vees in dealer lots.
The recent story of the homeowners shooting at the gang trying to steal their car should give any “youths” here something to think about.
Remember that in Texas you can use deadly force to protect your property. So it will stop after the third time someone is caught doing that. Bang! Bang!
“hurling eggs at politicians”
I wish we could do that.
Here in Minnesota such an act is considered to be constitutionally protected political speech - as long as such a person is a moonbat Dem.
Sounds to me like the German cops shouldn't have much trouble figuring out who the are perps.....if there are any French speaking Muslims from the getto/berbs outside Paris in town....bring 'em in!
Well, our liberals want to be European Socialists, and envy, hatred and class struggle are all part of it. Over here, it is all going to take on racial proportions. It’s what the Kenyan wants.
arson, it's not just for HUMMER's anymore...
I’m curious what the environmental impact is when you burn a vehicle.
Would seem like their act of “protest” does more harm to the environment than all the emissions that would be released over its useful life. And then the owner has to get another car - more energy to produce, probably just as much emissions, higher insurance rates for everyone...
Of course, logic to a liberal is like sunshine to a vampire...
Hmmmm. I do know a lot of libs that drive Volvos and Audis.
Some conservatives drive Volvos too. Better check the bumper stickers first.
Just look for the rainbow stickers.
