Berlin police launched an investigation on Boxing Day, Saturday, after several people were shot in a city district overnight.

I thought Boxing Day was a Brit thing—do the Krauts observe it as well?

SPD, NSDAP, two sides of the same coin. Boy, the Left never changes. Always violent.

It is a Canadian tradition—but one that has been imported from across the pond. Brit first.
