[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Germany right now and I can see a constant, uneasy standoff between ethnic Germans and the new arrivals from Arab nations. During the Spain/Germany soccer game last night, about a dozen police in riot gear were standing across the street from a döner restaurant, ready for action. And it was clear that action had already occurred, as one man was watching the game with bloody tissue stuffed up his nose and nursing a puffy cheek. There were no police outside of the restaurants with white and East Asian clientele.

Around 1030am this morning, a man walked around the downtown area holding a blue bottle of liquor, pausing occasionally to pick up entire metal trash cans (the public type for pedestrians) and heaving them to and fro. Police showed up-- lots of them-- and arrested him.  Watching the scene unfold, a random German mam turned to us and said "if they kicked these people out, we wouldn't have these problems."

It occurred to me that in the US, no police would show up for fights or public disturbances. And no way, ever, would police wait outside a restaurant frequented by an ethnic minority. No matter what was happening there. Germans are orderly people and absolutely will not stand for this kind of hooliganism.  We are much more tolerant of crime and tend to support perpetrators over victims. So I get why Europe is taking such a sharp right ward turn. This is completely upsetting their culture of order, safety, and respect. [/quote]

Omg this is gold. I hope the newcomers wipe you all out. [/quote]
