Chaos On Macedonian Border As Migrants Storm Fence
breitbart. ^ | 10 Apr 2016455 | by OLIVER JJ LANE

Heavily armed Macedonian police deployed tear-gas launchers, rubber bullets and stun grenades at the border with Greece this morning as an organised migrant invasion attempted to force the fence.

Thousands of anonymous leaflets written in Arabic had been in circulation at the 11,000-man Idomeni migrant camp, calling on the inhabitants to rise up together this afternoon and to charge down the fence stopping them from moving north into continental Europe. A rumour had also been circulating that the border was to be opened by Macedonian authorities at 9am this morning.

Declaring “Today we either break the border fence or die”, large groups of up to 500 migrants moved to the fence, with reports by journalists on the ground showing tear gas grenades being dropped on the Greek side of the border by Macedonian forces, and patrolling armoured cars. Migrants hurled stones at police.

Foreknowledge of the existence of the leaflets calling the migrants to action led to Greek and Macedonian police deploying in great numbers to protect border crossings today.

There have already been multiple casualties among the illegals attempting to storm the fence. Volunteer doctors are reported to be treating individuals with breathing problems after getting caught up in the defensive measures employed by the Macedonian police.

Greek police confirmed there have been “attempts to cross the border”, reports Kronen Zeitung.

While it is not known exactly who produced the detailed instruction leaflet handed to migrants — which featured a map of the border with military style instructions on where to strike and when — Greek media has named hard-left ‘No Border’ and Anarchist activist groups.

The disparate activist groups working in Greece to destroy Europe’s borders came under heavy criticism in March after another such mass march on the border intended to overwhelm Macedonian border forces.

It is astonishing. Here is a group of angry, young, military age males, who are followers of a religion responsible for the majority of the chaos around the globe via terrorist attacks on innocent people and violent persecution of anyone not them, and...

Here they are, with a sign saying “Open or Die”.

Really?

Are people insane that they cannot see that sign for exactly what it is?

machine gun nests should be set up a certain distance from each other to cover the boarder.

There are machine guns so it is certainly possible to build a nest for one but you can’t raise little machine guns in it.

Belt-fed. Engage and destroy.

Greece has MG3s in inventory. How long, I wonder, before the sound of Hitler's Buzzsaw is once again heard in Europe?

I do not understand why there is a problem. We have been told over and over again that border fences do not work.

Wonder how many minutes it would take for that minigun to burn through a whole SUV load of ammunition? My guess is not many.

Are we sure that many Europeans even care if they survive?

If ya look closely at 0:16 through 0:18 ya can see the flexible linked belt guide and the off white magazine that looks sorta like fat luggage.

That one mag will feed for about 60 to 90 seconds, then it must be changed, about 3 minutes, only if there is another mag and another crewman on board.

Just because they're not armed does not change the fact, they are an invasion force.

Their war tactics are 1400 years in the making. This has been done by them before. Most of US are in the mindset of WWII or later style wars.

This is a multigenerational strategy. It takes as long as it takes to out number the infidels, then the nation is islams.

Again further proof of the ancient evil hand of satan.

They are not refugees nor migrants. They are invaders. Shoot them.
