Arsonists attack office of German newspaper that printed Charlie Hebdo cartoons [Hamburg]
Daily Mail ^ | 11 January 2015 | Wills Robinson For Dailymail.com and Mark Duell for MailOnline

The office of a German newspaper that printed Charlie Hebdo cartoons was the target of an arson attack early this morning.

Vandals threw rocks at the headquarters of the Hamburg Morgenpost (MOPO), which reprinted cartoons from the satirical magazine at the centre of the terrorist attacks in Paris last week.

Two men who were 'behaving suspiciously' in the area have been arrested by police and German state security have begun an investigation.

Throwing rocks and arson are two different things. This story lacks information!

I didn't quote this part because I was a bit unsure about how much I could excerpt, but the article does continue by saying that someone threw something incendiary into the cellar of the building.

I did click through to the link, but I still missed it.

It is an important story, and thanks to you for posting it, but even the original article lacks info.

First draft maybe we’ll learn more soon,

Here’s what we don’t need a weather man to know: the Jihaidis continue their war!

If they were muzzies lock them up while the building is still standing.

I can see why: the text that mentions throwing something into the cellar comes later, after some large images. I wouldn't mind if all of the text appeared together.

I've gotten the idea, at least from looking around at different articles, that what's been publicly released is still relatively limited. Articles (including this one) look fairly short.

(I wasn't sure about how much to quote because of what I've read about short articles. "Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints" mentions "1/2 the words or less for short articles." Although Daily Mail is not on the list in that thread, the software here notes that this site requires excerpting, and when I tried auto-excerpt, I got about as much text as when I excerpted manually.

(Also, I chose this source for this thread for two main reasons. The primary one is that other threads here routinely use Daily Mail, and I suppose that there aren't too many problems with linking to it as a source. The other reason is the number of pictures; there are more than on comparable pages elsewhere.)

Yep, the muzz continue to probe for weakness through out the West and perform little acts of terror to intimidate and at the same time claim victim status being a minority. Cute plan that works with polticians, elitists and fellow travelers, but not the common folk. It’s starting to unravel, let’s hope it gains speed and the process of deislamization begins. No matter what the cost, if you want to save your freedom, culture and civilization, they need to be deported, all of them, or it will never end. Read history, it’s all there.

Threw rocks, or an arson attack?
Rocks don’t burn very well.
“Vandals?”

We need to know the truth about this. Is it bearded savages doing what they do best?

I hope Merkels not too upset if the perps are muzzies. Wouldn’t want to upset her narrative that people worried about islam are racist or something.

Report in the Hamburger Morgenpost itself is here: http://www.mopo.de/nachrichten/in-eigener-sache-brandanschlag-auf-die-mopo-—wir-sind-erschuettert-,5067140,29532008.html

It calls the attack arson. Translating, it say: The arsonist came under cover of darkness and started a fire in the building of the Hamburger Morgenpost. Who and what was behind the deed is still unclear.
“We are shocked at the arson attack on our firms building,’ said chief director Franz Niggemeier. “That such a thing happened in a liberal city so open to the world as Hamburg, shocks us. ... The police will have to figure out to what extent the attack is connected to the reporting of the Hamburger Morgenpost.”

Gee, I'm not sure, but there might be a clue in there somewhere.

Maybe in Germany they really do have some... or Mennonites.
