Cars burn in Berlin for second night in a row
The Local ^ | Published: 17 Aug 11 07:10 CET

Arsonists went on the attack in Berlin again on Tuesday night, burning a series of expensive cars for a second night in a row, this time hitting at least 15.

Police said they were doing everything they could to stop the attacks, which have become a regular feature of life in the capital. Investigators believe there may be a political motive to them.

The first fires Tuesday night started at about 11 pm in Berlin-Spandau, Charlottenburg and then tracked to Friedrichshain.

Most of the arsons on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning appear to have been centred in Charlottenburg.

On Monday night 11 cars were set alight, while nine cars were burned last Wednesday.

Since the beginning of the year, officials have registered about 80 auto arson cases.

It’s not known exactly what’s behind the burnings, although they appear to be some kind of leftist or anarchist political statement, since expensive vehicles are generally the main targets.

Police have struggled to develop leads as the arsons appear to have spread beyond a few criminals to become a general trend.

We’ve raised a generation that have been taught the “wealthy” are evil, greedy and stole what they have and the “poor” are entitled to other peoples wealth without the need to actually earn it.

Among other things...

Is Glenn Beck right about his international terrorist/progressive terror campaign?
They called him nuts but he could be right.

“Rivers of blood’’ The Euros of today? Not a chance. Not a chance in Hell. The fire has gone out of even the Krauts. As I’ve said many times before. Even though I’m in my late ‘50s, I will live to see Canterbury Cathedral and Notre Dame become mosques. It will happen and the ‘’Euros’’ won’t do a damn thing about it. “Rivers of Blood’’, HA!!

I am certain that Obama will try to sell a class war.....he has absolutely nothing but failure to run on. Even Obamacare his only leftist ace in the hole will be overturned by SCOTUS.

The “mystery of lawlessness” on display. As you read the daily news, keep reading the Bible. It’s all coming together, as prophesied.

I have it on good authority (a freeper in berlin) via personal communication that these incidents of arson are known to be due to self proclaimed anarchists/socialists not muslims.
