Police 'shocked' by violence as youth riot at small town fair
The Local ^ | 17 July 2017

Authorities in the town of Schorndorf in Baden-Württemberg have expressed shock after police and bystanders were attacked by members of a group of around 1,000 youths.

Police report that a group of around 1,000 teenagers and young men gathered on Saturday evening in the grounds of Schorndorf Castle, as the small town celebrated the second day of its week-long town fair. According to police, a large portion of the group had immigrant backgrounds.

From within the group, beer bottles were thrown at the walls of the castle, at other festival-goers, and eventually at police officers.

“The violence faced by police was shocking,” a police spokesperson said, adding that while it was normal for large numbers of youth to gather at the festival, the aggression was new.

When officers tried to arrest one suspect on suspicion of causing serious bodily harm, the situation escalated, with many people getting involved to try to hinder the arrest.

Police then called for backup. More officers arrived at the scene in riot gear, “to shield the arrest and to prevent an attack.” As officers withdrew from the scene, they were again attacked with bottles.

Eventually police called in support from nearby towns to counteract what they described as "massive potential for violence."

Throughout the night, groups of between 30 to 50 young men were seen acting aggressively in the medieval town centre. Eyewitnesses reported seeing people armed with knives, while one man was said to have fired a shot from a blank-firing gun.

Police reported damage to three of their vehicles, one with graffiti and another that was damaged after being hit by bottles.

Three incidents of sexual assaults against women were also reported on Friday evening, while one was reported on Saturday.

An Iraqi man was being investigated in connection with one of the assaults on Friday. After a 17-year-old reported being held against her will and then groped on her backside on Saturday, three Afghani men were also being investigated for the crime.

Police chief Roland Eisele urged other women to come forward if they were abused on Friday or Saturday night during the chaotic scenes.

Eisele said "the aggression and escalation of violence" were unprecedented and unexpected in the town of about 40,000 people, located near Stuttgart.

In a press conference on Monday, Eisele evoked the chaos of Cologne's infamous 2015 New Year's Eve celebrations when men of North African and Middle Eastern appearance groped and assaulted hundreds of women, sparking widespread public outrage.

He stressed that the rowdy scenes in Schorndorf were less intense than those in Cologne or the riots in the northern port-city of Hamburg before and during the July 7th-8th Group of 20 summit, when far-left and anarchist militants burnt street barricades and threw rocks from rooftops.

My dream for years was to finally get enough time and money to take a long vacation trip to Germany. The one place I wanted to go before I died, partly because a large part of my ancestry traces back there, but also for the scenery, Bavaria, architecture, beer and etc.

I am now at a point in life where that goal is in sight..very very near. BUT:

I have given up on that dream. I have no desire to go now.

It would appear that Germany has been ruined by hordes of disgusting, inbred, subhuman, muslim scum.

I wish that I had taken a tour of Europe before European leaders embraced the invasion that their ancestors fought to protect Europeans against.

German society is being erased. And yet Merkel is approved of by the majority.

Wonder if it is about to cave in.

The descendants of Option 1 will look like Option 2 if the current trend continues.

“youths ... a large portion of the group had immigrant backgrounds.”

Totally surprising. I'm sure Merkel must be scratching her head over this; it's so unpredicted.

The unintended consequence of allowing these migrants into these countries to get cheap labor will be economic upheaval.

Governments eventually metamorphisize into beasts that want to forever grow in size, wealth, and power. This isn't about cheap labor so much as survival of the beast.

She will be charged with being a wanton temptress and dressing inappropriately in front of Germany's guests from the mid-east.

PS - Notice the muzzie perverts went straight for the backside.
They miss their goats.

Sandra Bullock was probably the hottest ever in that movie.
