Germany: Students arm themselves in city of Halle as violent robberies soar, parents describe ‘broken police force’
Remix News ^ | September 22, 2023 | JOHN CODY

Organized gangs, many of them made up of foreigners, have targeted children in Halle’s schools for years, with the police recording hundreds of such cases. However, there is now a citizens’ initiative in the German city that has begun patrolling the area, and students are arming themselves for self-defense purposes as they lose faith in the police to protect the young victims.

The city, located in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, has seen highly troubling statistics emerge regarding the robbery of students, with Die Welt reporting that in just a matter of two years, there have been 203 such robbery offenses with 274 suspects.

The police noted that 40 percent of suspects have a migration background, and the proportion of those robberies committed by intensive offenders features a “significantly higher” share of foreigners

...

Although the police have promised to be more present at schools, as parents raised concerns about their children being assaulted or being constantly on watch for gangs, the attacks have continued virtually uninterrupted.

Parents describe a situation bordering on extreme desperation, with one woman telling Die Welt outside the school that her 13-year-old son had already been robbed three times. Another mother told the paper that her son was blackmailed for money. Both mothers have now joined the “Safe Schools in Halle” initiative, which was formed earlier this month.

There are also a number of court cases involving dangerous bodily harm and threats. The problem has become so widespread that the police in the city have set up a special investigative unit exclusively focused on these crimes.

The Saxony-Anhalt Interior Ministry reports that the robberies are brutal, featuring suspects punching, pushing and kicking their young victims. However, weapons are also being utilized by the attackers, including “pepper spray, knives, or blank guns.”

The attacks have been on the radar of the interior ministry for months, and they began to fit a pattern that indicated an organized and consistent form of attack. The perpetrators would approach victims, demand cash, clothes and smartphones, and then utilize violence to proceed with the robbery.

The interior ministry noted that there is a threat of “high levels of violence.”

Parents have become so desperate that they have organized a citizens’ defense initiative, with the initiative describing a “broken police force” that has been unable to secure the schools for their children, especially during school breaks and after the school day ends when students are walking home.

The initiative says it will not resort to violence and will operate within the law, which likely means it will partake in patrols and observation.

...

Trends seen in other Western countries, such as France, indicate that the police may take more interest in these citizens’ initiatives and students participating in self-defense than the actual robberies themselves. For example, an identitarian group in France, which protested this month in front of the home of a foreign suspect accused of brutally raping a French woman into a month-long coma, were all arrested during their demonstration and accused by the prosecutor of promoting “self-defense.”

Can you arm yourself in Germany? A young German once told me that civilized people don’t have firearms. I resisted the temptation of asking him if gassing millions of people was what civilized people do.

Always remember...

The police departments were not formed, to protect YOU... but rather... they were formed to protect the criminal from YOU!

Goit!

Good. Your question would have been both offensive and unfair.

Modern Germans avoid guns (and welcome immigrants) precisely because they're trying to distance themselves from their past.

Even when the NWO leftists are forced to admit that there is ‘some’ truth that the violence and crime are due to a ‘high number’ of ‘migrant’ influences, they never really get down to the brass tacks that it is likely the ONLY cause.

They’re like that all over the third world. Wolves clamoring to be let loose in idyllic green pastures with PLENTY of defenseless sheep.

Indeed. The time for vigilante justice is already here, or approaching very fast.

“They” will stop when they fear retribution. A simple rule that the left continues to ignore. In a like manner, the left will also stop when they fear retribution.

True. That's how it works in Third World countries.

A Muslim rapes or murders a Hindu woman in India, a Hindu mob responds with violence against Muslims. And visa versa.

Ditto when one tribe harms another in Africa. Or in much of the Third World.

And so the different tribes learn to respect each other, lest there be painful payback.

If white Europeans start rioting and burning down Third World cars, homes and businesses whenever a white European is harmed, then Third World migrants would quickly learn to show some respect.

“citizens’ initiative in the German city that has begun patrolling the area, and students are arming themselves for self-defense”

That’s nice as far as it goes, but why not just GET RID of the problem? Send them back to their shit-hole countries. Stop being so damned TOLERANT of those seeking to destroy you.

Of course, that goes here in the USA 100X.

I always say,

The police are first responders.

The armed citizen is an immediate responder.

I have no sympathy for Germany, or any other western country at this point. We have completely destroyed Christendom, and have handed a legacy of destruction to our grand children. We deserve the perdition that follows.

Who really won WWII?

There are thousands of Sub-Saharan Africans and Middle Easterners in Europe.

They are raping and having children with beautiful European women with impunity.

Is Europe really going to stand for this?

You're talking about a continent that literally birthed the modern world. A continent with layers upon layers of bodies built over them throughout centuries.
