"For the time I lived in Germany, I could never picture the German populace having a death wish...or electing a chancellor with a death wish.
How times have changed."
On my second tour I lived in Hanau for a few years, the area had recently suffered an influx of Turks I assume they were some sort of refugees, they were nothing but trouble on what I thought was a grand scale; it seemed they were allowed to get away with a lot of petty to often more serious crimes (I could tell stories), so I did sense increasing passivity by the government towards those islamists but I thought soon they would crack down on them, never happened that I seen, like you at the time I was there I could not imagine they would go this far. Then again I never thought I would see what is happening with all the dangerous passivity towards islamist refugees here in the U.S.. By force and intimidation Americans are accepting these so-called refugees who as a group are nothing less than bloody barbarian invaders bent on killing all who would not submit to their ideological decrees, how foolish as a nation are we.
