What is Chemnitz Really About?

Over the weekend, a fest was going on in Chemnitz, and some German guy bumped into two young immigrant guys (one from Iraq, and one from Syria).  Something was spoken....something was perceived, and the German guy got stabbed a number of times (dead).  Cops detain the two suspects. 

Social media rapidly puts the message out,and a crowd on evening number one....reaches near 800 folks.  They are angry and frustrated.  Local cops do their best, but this is an event where they can enforce stability. The next day....the journalists and political folks hype up the negativity of the 'riot'.  Outside influence?  Some say that there might be some influence going on, and the riots might be somewhat planned. 

Federal cops coming in?  Yes.  Curfew likely coming?  Probably.  Affecting the state election in two months?  Oh....maybe.  I'll go ahead and suggest that three to five additional points get added to the AfD in Saxony over the next six weeks.  It might be enough to be the first place winner in the state election. 

Germans will point out five to ten assaults, rapes, or murders by migrants or immigrants over the past year.  As much as the news folks (particularly public TV news) have tried to control the message and avoid the subject.....the public is starting to avoid them and go direct to social media to get updates.  They've lost trust in public TV news. 

These incidents over the past four years?  Well, you can divide them into three categories:

1.  Alcohol or drug-induced.

2.  Islamic brainwashing to the extent of being a 'hero'.

3.  Immature behavior for an adult young male.

Yes, there's probably at least a couple thousand young migrant males who've arrived and really can't handle the culture, the German alcohol scene, drugs in general, or respecting women.  Here's the thing....you can't do anything much to resolve that issue.

The German political folks are worried about Chemnitz because if this riot business isn't stopped....it'll spread and become a national trend.  My perception is that they don't really have much of an idea how to stop it.....other than simple raw police power and arrest threats.  It's not a good resolution but there is little else to use.
