Mob Protests in Chemnitz Show New Strength of Germany’s Far Right

CHEMNITZ, Germany — Waving German flags, with some flashing Nazi salutes, the angry mob made its way through the streets, chasing after dark-skinned bystanders as police officers, vastly outnumbered, were too afraid to intervene.

A Syrian refugee and father of two, Anas al-Nahlawie, watched horrified from a friend’s fourth-floor balcony. They were hunting in packs for immigrants just like him, he said. “Like wolves.”

For a few perilous hours over two days this week, the mob owned the streets of Chemnitz, where anger exploded after word spread that an Iraqi and a Syrian asylum seeker were suspected in a knife attack that killed a German man early Sunday.

Chemnitz, a city of some 250,000 in eastern Germany, has a history of neo-Nazi protests. Usually they draw a few hundred from the fringes of society — and far larger counter-demonstrations, city officials say. The crowd this time was 8,000-strong. Led by several hundred identifiable neo-Nazis, it appeared to be joined by thousands of ordinary citizens. More marches are planned Saturday.

The city had never seen anything like this — and, to some degree, neither had post-World War II Germany. The rampage now stands as a high-water mark in the outpouring of anti-immigrant hatred that has swelled as Germany struggles to absorb the nearly one million asylum seekers who arrived in the country after Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to open the borders in 2015.

That decision sharply divided Germany, with critics soon arguing that Ms. Merkel’s administration had lost control of the situation. Three years later, what the government is struggling to control is an anti-immigrant backlash.

Neo-Nazis are growing bolder and stronger, and they are better organized, officials and sociologists say.

You are probably right as this crap can’t continue forever.

The article is written to make you forget that a German was killed and no Muslims.

What do they call it in German? Oh yes, Lügenpresse.

If they were Muslims chasing Jews, it would hardly make the news.

Yeah, pretty much, the breathless intro conjured up images of a pogrom of dark skinned bystanders. That didn’t happen.

Video and still photos of march -

Good video. I appreciate amateurs getting involved and producing pro-quality media, chipping away at the MSM monopoly.

I'm surprised YouTube hasn't yanked it.

And a German trying to protect a woman from being raped. Pretty telling that he was 61, maybe no younger german males around?

“I’m surprised YouTube hasn’t yanked it.”

Surprisingly, hundreds of videos are on YouTube documenting resistance to the EU fascists. We certainly are not getting the true picture of tens of thousands of European citizens fed up with the alien invasion.

My impression is that the European patriots are far ahead of us in organizing, raising money and getting their troops into the streets. They also seem to have the ability to find effective, grassroots leadership. They have the capability to muster their troops quickly and melt back into the urban environment seamlessly.

This is an effective resistance to the deep state that we need to study.

Cheers

But you can be damn sure they’d have a field day if it was Germans chasing Jews.

Es gibt keine “jüngeren deutschen Männer”. Es gibt nur Mädchen mit Penissen.
