Macedonian Police Use Tear Gas as Migrants Attempt Border Storm

Migrants have clashed with Macedonian police after trying to scale the fence separating Greece from Macedonia in the border town of Idomeni.

Macedonian police used tear gas and stun grenades in an attempt to keep the migrants at bay and they responded by throwing rocks at the police. Greek police were standing by, not interfering.

...

The clashes began soon after some 500 of the more than 11,000 migrants stranded at a camp on the Greek side of the border responded to rumors the border was about to open by gathering close to the fence. A delegation of five migrants asked Macedonian police whether the border was about to open. When Macedonian police denied the rumors, spread by activists since Saturday, over a hundred migrants, including several children, tried to scale the fence.

If NATO does not post its troops on the border of these member states to keep out invaders, from whom they are supposed to defend - then NATO is a lie, a farce, and a politically fraudulent bureaucracy with ulterior motives.

I suppose mining the border is out of the question, but tear gas and stun grenades will only encourage them to try harder the next time.

Just put up Mr. Trumps ‘safe zone.’ The Egyptian billionaire suggested deserted islands in the Mediterranean islands.

They need to load these “migrants” onto ships, planes, buses, and trains, and send them back home - in shackles if they resist.

The problem with "non lethal" measures, is that they do not provide as big a disincentive to trying as bullets would.

These filthy Muslims are economic migrants, looking for a big basket of freebies, when entering Europe. Thanks to the phony Trojan horse ensconced in the White Hut we will have many of these coming to our ‘homeland’.

It would have much easier to keep the first one from coming in. He told his buddies that the food and money were good and they swarmed in

Kick them all out.
