Looks like French, the nation who welcomes culture enrichers. What do they expect?

We are close to this in the US. Recently a scuffle between Antifa and Trump supporters got the Trump supporters additional charges of hate crime, I kid you not. The other side posturing as protectors of racism are taken seriously and not even questioned in their hates.

BBC says not terror-related. Man and woman were arguing in a McDonald’s, then he was holding her hostage inside a pharmacy.

That is pretty disgusting. Also revolting that local citizens did not take their representatives to task for this. I mean REALLY to task!

Article is in French but Cologne is in Germany. More info here, several articles are reporting attacker is a middle aged Syrian man who proclaimed ISIS sympathies:

The last time I visited Cologne was in the late '90s - vibrant college city, great scenery and nightlife, lots of landmark buildings and things to do.

What I associate Cologne with now is the infamous New Years Eve mass sexual assaults of 2016, when mobs of Muslim asylum-seekers targeted and attacked young women and committed other crimes. Over 600 women were apparently assaulted in that one night in Cologne, and over 1500 criminal complaints were filed. The German press responded by trying to cover up the crimes committed by the Muslims.

I assume this current story has to do with some more of the fine young Muslim men Angela Merkel has welcomed into Germany.

Deutsche Welle has this to say:

“Police later said the suspect, who was badly wounded when police arrived, claimed to be a member of the Islamic State (IS). The man first hurled a Molotov cocktail inside a fast-food restaurant, injuring the 14-year-old girl, then took another woman hostage in a nearby pharmacy. He was holding a real or replica pistol when commandos stormed the site and was in possession of camping gas containers.”

They also had this little tidbit on their Twitter page:

“Germany has deported a convicted 9/11 accomplice, Mounir el-Motassadeq, to Morocco.

He cannot return until April 2064 — when he’s 90.

The story of his incarceration — for complicity in 3,000 counts of murder — traces back to a busy road in Hamburg.

Arrest the police for interfering.

The Latest: Hostage-taker in Germany in critical condition

http://www.newschannel6now.com/2018/10/15/latest-hostage-freed-german-station-man-detained/

BERLIN (AP) — The Latest on hostage situation at Cologne train station (all times local):

3:30 p.m.

Cologne police say on Twitter that a hostage-taker has suffered life-threatening injuries when police stormed a pharmacy inside the city’s train station.

The man had taken a woman hostage for two hours before he was injured during the police operation Monday afternoon. Emergency personnel were trying to revive him with CPR. It wasn’t immediately clear how he sustained the injuries. Police said only that he was injured during the police operation to free the woman.

The hostage was also slightly injured and treated on the scene.

Hell, give the poor jihadi a break, he wasn’t committing terrorism in the train station, he was looking for the SNACK-BAR.
