German rock festival evacuated because of terror threat
CNN, Jun 2, 2017

A terrorist threat led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of music fans Friday from the Rock am Ring festival in Nuerburg, Germany, police and concert organizers said.

"The organizers of Rock am Ring in close coordination with police have suspended the festival for today," Koblenz police said in a statement. "This is based on concrete evidence of a possible terror threat. Investigations are currently underway.

"Because of the last attack on a concert in Manchester, the security concept for Rock am Ring was modified in advance and the number of security officers was significantly increased to around 1,200. ... Since a threat could not be ruled out, all necessary measures were taken immediately."

The May 22 bombing of an arena in Manchester, Germany, during an Ariana Grande concert left 22 people dead and 59 hurt.

Nathalie Muckhoff, 26, who was covering the festival for a local newspaper, told CNN the evacuation proceeded calmly.

Video posted Friday showed concert-goers peacefully walking off the festival grounds while singing and chanting.

I don't suppose our German cousins, can make the connection between voting for candidates that allow so many "migrants," and such disruptions of their peaceful, prosperous, abundant lives?

This venue is near the Nürburgring racetrack. Nest thing the 24 Hours of Le Mans, might be disrupted by Islamic terrorists.

I wonder how big an appetite Europeans have for this sh!te??

For Germans, attacks on the driving and their beer, are grave threats.

Actually, I don't believe that they can any longer.

The ability to make such "connections" seems to have been bleached out of them, by a combination of liberalism, socialism and self-guilt (perhaps self-hatred?).

Eventually, they're going to go down, and be taken over by islam.

Just a matter of time.

That might be the only thing.

Nah. Because the terror event never happened, it was the government's fault.

Merkel was the more conservative candidate, bringing prosperity to Germany. Are you suggesting a more progressive path would have been better?

I'll never get my Ring Ride with Sabine, so whatever... </whinyteen>

Seriously, though, I thing the terrorists hurt themselves with ones like this.
