If you watch German news for the past week.....they've been hyped up and negative about Chemnitz and this video showing one or two migrants being chased by an aggressive crowd (supposed right-wing but you can't state that as a concrete fact).
So ARD (public news) talked over the chief German security guy (Maassen) and his report to the Bundestag committee today.
What Maassen points out, which is hard for the politicians to get a handle upon....is that the name of the guy who posted this video for Twitter.....identified himself as connected to ANTIFA. The German cops impression of ANTIFA? Well....they don't trust them and they think this is misinformation or a faked-up video. The aggressive guys chasing the migrants? Maybe right-wing.....maybe left-wing....maybe contracted out....maybe Nazis. But because of that ANTIFA label, the cops don't trust the content.
For the SPD and Greens? Well....they don't see the problem. They simply gaze over ANTIFA and see nothing wrong with them.
The German public? If you asked them to ID or explain ANTIFA.....I doubt if you could find one German out of a hundred who'd give you a explanation of the group.
My humble impression? Had this been some Catholic priest or some Italian magician.....it might be believable, but I'm like the cops....once you say ANTIFA....well, it might be misinformation.
