Thousands join rival protests in Chemnitz, Germany, after man stabbed death
Sky News (UK) ^ | September 2, 2018 | Staff

Thousands have marched through a German city after racist violence flared up following the arrest of an Iraqi and a Syrian over a fatal stabbing.

Marchers demonstrated both for and against migrants in the eastern city of Chemnitz.

Sunday and Monday evenings saw outbreaks of violence triggered by the arrest of two suspects allegedly involved in the stabbing of Daniel Hillig, a 35-year-old German-Cuban.

Following the arrests, mobs attacked people they took to be foreigners, including an Afghan, a Syrian and a Bulgarian man.

Couple notes of clarification/amplification. The "Sunday and Monday evenings" this article refers to are back at the start of the week (August 26).

Between 9-10,000 people marched on a Saturday (September 1) night. Someone's definitely ticked off here. Little coverage from US-based media organizations.

So why is the vic a German-Cuban and not a Cuban-German? It isn’t clear where his citizenship is, but his nationality indicates he is Cuban of German descent living in Germany.

I certainly hope “death” is dead after it got stabbed. It seems a bit premature, I thought Christ was going to do that.

Good question. Lots of “socialist fraternal links” happened in East Germany. I figure the deceased man probably was one of them.

"definitely ticked off here.

They need to talk to their grandfathers and great grandfathers to find out what the German Werewolves were and could be.

Can’t help it if Sky News’s webfolk make typos.

As I understand FR posting rules, the headline has to be the same one as in the linked article. Which it was. For all I know, it will receive a correction.

sigh.

Every infidel in Germany is a potential target. This needs reversing. Every muslim needs to be a potential target.

It sounds like the racism was with foreign Muzzies attacking natives, but they spin it opposite of the truth.

The dead guy is a German with Cuban-heritage (his dad came over in the 1960s to East Germany and ended up with a German wife).

I’ve sat and watched this from day one (I live in Germany). From what I can observe....this evening of the murder, there was a fest in Chemnitz going on, with plenty of alcohol. It’s only my guess but I think the dead guy and two immigrants (Syrian and Iraqi) had some booze, and perhaps some drugs. Something was said....perhaps an insult....someone reacted, and then some knife got produced.

Only one of the two accused probably did the stabbing so the arrest of both guys doesn’t make much sense. One of the two immigrants was hired-up and working six days a week...no issues. The other guy was unemployed and cops suggest that they’ve dealt with him on occasions before.

This all comes at an bad time...two state elections in Germany within six weeks. It’s really charged some elements of society and will perhaps change the outcome of the election...so the Merkel crowd are hyped up to stop the protests.

I remember hearing about the Chemnitz Stadtfest in the first reports, but people here might just now have tuned in.

Appreciate the on-the-ground update. Thank you for sharing your insights.

I didn’t see the word “triggered” in the article.

Death was reported to be in critical condition but expected to pull through and continue to decrease the surplus population.

The sensible Germans who protest the rapes, burnings and murders by the newly arrived m*slims will be repressed by the nazi regime of angela merkul.

Hope the Germans wake up and kick out Commie Angela and her Marxist Muslim buddies who ate raping, robbing and murdering the German people.
Ship them all to Sweden.

I thought this was pretty good and something we could do for our illegal alien situation. Poweful visual.

Most one-sided article on this event I’ve seen anywhere. It refers to the demonstrators as “far-right extremists” about 6 times. Never once mentions the fact that the counter protestors were leftist radicals. Instead, they’re called “supporters of Merkel’s policy”.
