Onlookers applauded as a suspected arson fire destroyed a planned refugee shelter in eastern Germany, police said Sunday.

The roof of the former hotel Bautzen, in the eastern state of Saxony, was undergoing renovation when a fire broke out overnight. Police said that no one was injured but reported that bystanders “commented with derogatory remarks” and showed “unashamed joy” as firefighters struggled to subdue the flames.

Police forces ordered three people to leave the scene for obstructing emergency services and detained two “intoxicated 20-year-old locals” for ignoring the order.

Investigators believe the fire was caused by arson and are not certain whether or not the building can be restored.

While most Germans welcomed the refugees, an outspoken minority have protested such shelters, especially in Saxony, which is home to the anti-Islamic and anti-immigration group PEGIDA.

Incidents in Saxony have caused concern in the past including the recent Thursday incident when a mob shouted “We are the people!” and “Go home!” as they blocked a bus carrying refugees outside a new shelter.

Stanislaw Tillich, the governor of Saxony, described both incidents as "appalling and shocking" and pledged ...

Don’t know; did an image search for “heads on pikes” and that’s what came up.

Well, it is a conquering army after all.

And yes, I am serious. It’s a flat out occupation.

Germans were remarkably naive on this topic about a year ago. They have changed their minds now, but it is wrong to say the public opinion wasn’t behind this damaging course then.

“The opinion poll conducted for ARD public television and released on Friday found that 50 percent of the Germans questioned were in favor of the country accepting more refugees. Forty-four percent of those asked in the survey, conducted by the Infratest dimap polling company, said they were opposed to the idea.”

“Sixty-two percent said they favored injecting increased funds to deploy more rescue ships in the Mediterranean Sea, while 34 percent opposed the idea.”

“Around two-thirds of Germans (63 percent), said they opposed the idea of setting up blockades at sea for ships carrying would-be migrants, as the Australian authorities have done, while 32 percent thought this was a prudent course of action.”

IMHO the sea blockade is the key issue here as this would have been an effective way to stop the inflow.

As an observation, this is full circle on the 1930s and 40s, when Jewish refugees were regularly turned away from every port, and had to be smuggled into Mandatory Palestine for any chance to survive.

Here you have a population of refugees whose attitudes and morals actually make them a threat, whereas then you had a population that had a history of finding their feet quickly and becoming productive and innovative wherever they were allowed to take root.

The rapefugees are welcomed with open arms, and quickly give their hosts cause to regret their hospitality. There you had true refugees left with nowhere they could legally go, sometimes sunken in international waters, sometimes returned to their countries of origin where they faced certain persecution and probable death. Europe zigged when it should have zagged, and is now zagging when it should zig.

Nicely said, albeit my truancy.

‘Police forces ordered three people to leave the scene for obstructing emergency services ...’

Were there women and children in that building?

Point is Germany is now so balkanized that the people there are losing their humanity. This is probably what Kosovo looked like under Tito right before Christians were driven out.
