Amberg Story

The basic story (at least ten different sites are covering this today in Germany), on Saturday evening in Amberg (about an hour east of Nuremberg, in the far east corner of SE Germany)....four young gentlemen of an asylum situation (ages 17 to 19) got into the middle of town and just started beating up on locals.

Cause?  Cops say alcohol....they were extremely drunk.

Countries of origin?  Iran, Afghanistan and Syria.

One of the folks 'clobbered' is still in the hospital tonight (Monday).

The odd part of this story is that NONE of the four is quartered or based in Amberg....they simply met there and got drunk in the middle of town.

Jailing situation?  Well, that's another odd part of the story.....all four were separated and sent to different jails in the region, separate from each other.

Charges?  Authorities won't say much yet, but I'm guessing that once witnesses lay out who hit who.....you could be looking at a minimum of a year in some German prison for serious assault.  Line up twelve cases....someone or the group itself might be looking at serious jail-time. 

Terror act?  NO.  This was the dimwit behavior you expect out of young men who lack mature behavior.
