The No-Nazis Story

 This is an interesting story that you probably won't hear about via ARD or ZDF public TV.  Focus picked up the basic facts to it, and I'll relate the entire story.

Back in the fall of 2018....(October timeframe)....around 2 AM in the morning....a fire started up in a pub in Chemnitz.  For location.....this is in the eastern region of Germany, and a fairly large city.

The pub?  Owned by a Turkish guy.

When the firemen had cleared out things.....there was around half-a-million Euro of damage.  Blame?  Well....right away....it was neo-Nazi or right-wing extremists.

The owner, the mayor, the city council, the whole community, the Berlin leadership, the state Premier-President, the Chancellor, and the folks at public TV....all jumped onto this business and hyped the evil right-wing extremists.

So the fire inspector looked at things, and there's some problems with this fire.  Cops get involved, then the chief prosecutor get deep into the investigation.

Last week, without saying much....cops came to arrest the pub owner (49-year old guy) and an associate of his (mid-30s) were taken.

Additional charges?  Well....there's around fifteen crimes that the prosecutor is looking into....attempted murder, arson, and fraud among them.  Odds that the guy is tied into a crime clan group?  Well....once you get up over five or six charges....it just looks awful suspicious. 

So this whole chatter business over the evil right-wing extremists or neo-Nazis?  All fake?  Yeah.

Will ARD or ZDF admit this update?  I kinda doubt it.

The comical side of this?  Merkel made a trip out to Chemnitz, and got her picture taken with the pub owner/arsonist.  

My advice?  When you hear of some massive crime, and an unknown group of right-wing extremists responsible.....I'd pause and just wait for the police to do their investigation.  Maybe it's true.....maybe it's not true at all.  

I admit....it did sound good to dump blame on the evil neo-Nazis.  But if this was just imaginary Nazis.....it doesn't do much good to get all chatty or hyped-up.
