The country responded generously as Angela Merkel threw open the borders, but as 1,000 people a day arrive in the capital alone some doubts are being voiced.
The Rudolf Harbig hall in west Berlin is normally used for athletics. The complex has a track, an indoor sandpit for long jump and a gallery for spectators. Nearby is the monumental Olympic stadium, the scene of the 2006 World Cup final and other major sporting events.
On Friday, however, the hall was being transformed into emergency accommodation for refugees, now arriving in the German capital at the astonishing rate of 1,000 a day. Soldiers from the German army were unloading mattresses. New camp beds had arrived. Some 15 volunteers were busy stuffing colourful covers on duvets.
“We’re sacrificing our gold medal to help people in need,” said Thomas Glückselig, lugging a mound of bedding. “Great Britain will get the gold instead of us,” he joked. Glückselig, a 60-year-old Berlin pensioner, said Germany had no choice but to shelter all of those fleeing war. But could the country manage? “If we can save banks, we can save people. We want to do it and we can do it,” he replied. What about other EU countries, such as Britain and the east Europeans, whose leaders appeared less keen on refugees than Angela Merkel? “If England wants to be in Europe, you have to do more. You can’t shut your tunnel,” he said....

The answer is none more longer. Another thread says they just stopped all trains from Austria and are reinstating border controls.
‘Um well, Saudi announced that they 500,000 of the Syrian refugees.
Not quite sure how they prove this, as they said just a week ago they hadn’t taken ANY in.
The Saudis claim they have “taken in” more than two million already. Given the size of the Saudi border, and the scarcity of Saudis, I doubt they had any choice.
Half a million have entered Germany this year.
I’m sure they can think of a solution...
The day is coming when they blow it up...
Looks like we’ll be moving to Lithuania then, Scandinavia too near the crazies....Lithuania has that bit of Russia protecting it.
That’s right. The child and almost all of the family died for some free teeth.
Exactly, the MSM Propaganda refuse to tell the people that though.
The father needs arresting and charging with manslaughter at the least.
“So, who really killed him and how much Hollywood help did they use to stage the pics”?
His father was responsible because he wanted free medical care in Germany.
They didn’t need any Hollywood help in using the photo of the little boy in their propaganda.
That post was inappropriate and rightfully deleted.
I suspect there is much to the lead-up of the pic that is missing. Like who took the pic and how did it get distributed? Who was funding the father and who was inciting them to travel?
I’m not sure but I think the father also drowned. If he is still alive, his torment will be horrific for the rest of his life.
They took advantage of the situation and distributed the picture. They didn’t plan the drowning.
“...an indoor sandpit...”
Cat box. I can just imagine...
Kids that aren't taught to swim and are not equipped with life jackets for rougher runs than a cruise ship die every day. We used to take the little ones out in small boats and canoes back in the day, but they all had vests or better and swim lessons from the beginning.
It's not Western Civilization's fault and no S0r0$/Saudi Arabian cattle drive should provoke over response beyond making nice camps in Turkey and telling the folks that they are there because of Jihad/Islam.
Shouldn’t be too long now before the Muzzies go all Taliban and begin to blow up the cathedrals. (might as well, the Euroweenies only use them as tourist attractions anyway).
No the father is still here, the POS.
He’ll be miserable.
Right.
Maybe they will serve halal Bratwursts for Oktoberfest.
