This week....in the area of Lausen-Grünau (suburb of Leipzig to the west of the city, eastern region of Germany)....several incendiary Molotov-cocktails were thrown onto a building that that houses migrants.
The fire that started up? Handled by security guards for the building in a matter of minutes. No one injured....no serious damage.
So the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) are onto the case.
Caught anyone in the act? No. Suspects? None.
The social media chatter? Well....right-wing radicals or neo-Nazis. Any factual information? None.
The Lausen area? Well....it's a odd history. Up until the unification business, they were always separate from Leipzig.....they became a suburb of the city in 1995. Residents in the suburb? Generally around 12,000.
Trashy or ghetto type magnet? No. That's the funny thing about this area. It's on the end of a lake and I'd classify the suburb as middle-class and above-average. Lausen actually attracts locals from Leipzig on weekends to the lake.
Buying into the neo-Nazi thing? It's easy to suggest it but just as easy to suggest some nutcase could have filled a few bottles with fuel and thrown the Molotov-cocktails.
The problem here is that this got into the national news and politicians are hyped-up that neo-Nazis are on the move....so you need to be ever vigilant.
