German Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly survived what European press are calling an assassination attempt Thursday afternoon as she was visiting the Czech Republic. Merkel was leaving the airport in Prague when a man with weapons "attempted to join the motorcade" in a Mercedes and began to "run down police" while doing so, the Sun reported.

"He is suspected of attempting to cause a crime — specifically, an attempt to use violence against an official," Josef Bocan, a spokesman for the Czech police, told Express. "He tried to join the procession at all costs, cutting off a police vehicle that was trying to stop him. He only stopped and got out of the vehicle after police warned him that they were going to shoot."

The man, who has not been identified in the press, was arrested at the scene. When authorities searched the suspect's car, they discovered teargas, handcuffs and cobblestones, according to De Standaard.

"Thanks to the professional actions of officers, Angela Merkel's life was not in danger," Bocan added.

She will now push for a large increase in the numbers of jihadis “invited” into her country.

They only way Merkel should be taken out is on the end of a rope after a trial for treason and a guilty verdict.

Merkel: Letting Nazi back in.

I don't approve of the attempt.  Wish I could say I don't understand why it took place...

This woman is not only a traitor and enemy of her own nation, she has been very influential in spreading the misery around Europe.  She has done irreprable harm to hundreds of millions of people.

Me either. I despise incompetence.

I’ve always liked that word, “defenestration”.

D@mn the bad luck. That would have been a relatively quick solution to the problem she created. Many more will likely die because she didn't.

I like how you think. :)

Whatever. Angela’s own Reichstag Fire but for Asylum seekers.

The German political system is different than ours. Merkel is only the visible part of a party iceberg. The Germans elect parties and the parties have about thirty of forty platforms that they support. Then the party chooses the leader. So, replacing her without replacing her party would only result in a different face on the same problems.

She does need a dirt nap as she is deliberately murdering and raping and assaulting thousands of her own people via jihadi immigrants doing her dirty work.

The recent movie Arthropod IMHO did a good job of sticking to the true story of Heydrich’s assassination. I always had the impression that Heydrich would have survived the assassination if he had just cut and run, BUT NO he thought he was invincible, stopped the car and fought with his pistol.

He got the wrong end of a IED and died from septic wounds. Too bad he couldn’t suffer longer like ol’ Stalin, leeches and all.

Might as well just say you don’t approve of failure.
