Three German Stories

 1.  I sat and watched the news this afternoon, and a piece came on about the Dusseldorf Airport from yesterday, with all the chaos.

So, a number of flights...for various reasons....were cancelled.  The problem here....this was after the folks had gotten the boarding passes and turned in their bags....with the ticketed folks standing there in the concourse.

Eventually, the airlines would tell them.....here's the cancellation, and you are going nowhere today....so go home.  'Oh, by the way',  would come next.....we can't locate your bags, and it may be take a day or two to find out where they are....while we work up your next potential flight to your vacation location.  

2.  'Joe' from Oldenburg is a juvenile with emotion issues.  About a week ago....'Joe' disappeared, and a bunch of folks were looking for him.

Yesterday morning, 'Joe' was found....oddly enough, down in some sewage drain area, which required the lifting of a iron-plate.  He's ok, but he has not explained how he got down into the drainage system.

The manhole cover?  It would have required two men to lift it....so it's doubtful that Joe picked it up.  So far, his explanations are not helping.

3.  I noticed off N-TV....some massive brawl (maybe 300 people involved)....in Essen yesterday.

What the German cops say?  Some disagreement started up between Syrian and Turkish families and just escalated.

Belts, table legs and chairs were used in the brawl.  

UPDATE: 27 June: Cops now say that a gentleman was stabbed in the neck....from which, the brawl occurred.  There's also some chatter that this neighborhood is a fairly rough part of town.

Merkel's legacy
3rd worlders don't assimilate into a civilized society, they expect that society to assimilate to them.

I would suggest this....a lot of the 'new' people arrived and found the cheaper accommodations, which became modern 'ghetto' situations (without any help from Merkel or local politicians). So when chaos erupts (kids arguing, men fighting over tribal insults, women slapping other women for bad behavior)...it escalates real quick. Doesn't matter if you about Berlin, Hamburg, or Dusseldorf....they all were magnets for the incoming people because that's where the jobs are. Even people who made efforts to integrate...will tell you that the ghetto circumstance is throwing a wrench into adjusting to society.
