German Rock am Ring music festival halted over terror threat

Jun 2, 2017 4:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Those right-wing extremists! Merkel needs to crack down on them harder!

“German Rock am Ring music festival halted over terror threat,” DW, June 2, 2017:

Citing a possible terror threat, German police have temporarily pulled the plug on the Rock am Ring festival at the famous Nürburgring race track in western Germany. Visitors were told to clear the festival grounds.

Authorities suspended the crowded event on its opening night on Friday, asking the visitors to leave in a “controlled and calm” manner. The move was based on “concrete leads, which do not allow us to eliminate a possible terror threat,” the police said.

“We are currently conducting a very intense investigation,” authorities added.

The three-day festival was expected to welcome up to 90,000 visitors with German hard rock giants Rammstein set to perform later on Friday.

The organizers used loudspeakers to inform the visitors about the possible threat.

“We hope it will continue tomorrow. Please head to the exits,” they announced.

DW’s Rick Faulker tweeted there were “many glum faces” at the scene, while also saying that people were “very calm” during the evacuation.

One of the organizers, Marek Lieberberg, said that the police blocked off the surrounding streets. Shuttle buses are still running, he said….

    Freedom and safety are for 20th century bigots.

    Read the Jihads. Out of the kur’an. We will bring terror everywhere, and they sure do and you stand there and do nothing to protect your citizens. Do you expect not to beheaded as you believed in the religion of peace? Or is it the New World Order.
    There is never 1 good answer, never, never a good debate, because you are coward nd we all have to finance all that, are you crazy or not?
    I must admire Robert Spencer and I do, how he still can speak and write so respectful is really something, I can not anymore.

        Will it even be celebrated in the new Islamic Germany? Alcohol is served, along with pork sausage.

      Same agenda for all the terrorist attacks lately in Europe. Mayhem and killing is jihad, sharia law soon implemented,. and total take down (Tet offensive agenda” ). Soon Europe will be a caliphate with a crack down when leaders will formally convert or leave the country. No freedom to speak out, defend against Muslims, yet cowardly Euro males can band together and take their countries back if they were real men. Families will be separated and many executed. Nihilism prevails among the zombie masses who will go along to get along even if their girls and women are taken into slavery.

    If Germany doesn’t deport these parasites the police would be pulling the plugs on many events in the near future.

    I fear for the tribute concert-goers in Britain. At an Emirates stadium. The jihadis view that as their turf, even more so.

      It’s not a “Mosque worthy” victory though. Maybe it almost was.

      90,000 minds cogitating on the virtues of multicultural enrichment, bah.
      Whilst on the topic of enrichment I’m wondering which Muslim rock bands will add their support to the upcoming Manchester memorial gig, or just any Muslim folk lending support by attending.

        Oh, have no doubt on this point. There will be swarms of hijabed Muslimas on hand playing the ” peaceful, tolerant, Islam is the religion of peace” card.

        If your from the UK, you will remember the endless stream of vomit poured out by hijabed Muslima TV interviewers in the aftermath of the Manchester massacre. Remember the blubbering imams and hijabies all vomiting the mantra ” this is not Islam. These terrorists are not Muslims, Mohammed preached, love ,peace and tolerance ” etc etc blah blah ???

    This does not affect Muslims, it is very rare for a Muslim to go to a concert (and less of this style). Muslim women care even less .. they are banned EVERYTHING. This only affects the kfuras.

      But Muslims *do* want to force Infidels to conform to grim Shari’ah norms, as well.

    Islam bans drink,smoking,music………………..time to get on your knees……..Bulgaria and Poland are still being awkward but the rest of the Euro-Peons are supine before Islam…

    Will the Nazi German government refund the 80mil loss that would be incurred by the organisers? I doubt as the Nazis wont admit its their fault

    • Bill says

      Jun 2, 2017 at 8:26 pm

      No, I think not. But when the concert promoters go insolvent, Merkel will confiscate their offices and use them to house migrants.

    And now i Guess oktoberfest will also be canceled ? at least that would be good then Heir Hitler-Merkel cant take photo ops to show how wonderful she isnt.

    • WPM says

      Jun 3, 2017 at 7:56 am

      Heir Merkel has just announced the menu for Oktoberfest has been official changed to ritz crackers cheese and ginger ale! The brass Oh Pa bands will be replaced with screaming imams handing out flyers proclaiming October to be Mohammedfest! Little children can get toys of little bearded jihadist that have bomb vest and holding machine guns. Big tents will be set up in Munich to hold the many Islamics that will go there to hear the imams give loud sermons on killing the Kaffar ,evil Jews, burning churches fun will be had for all in the month of October!

    Tickets cost €210 / $235. That’s the amount you loose if the event is cancelled – but it’s better than loosing your life.

    • gravenimage says

      J., if Infidels keep bowing to Muslim demands it will *not* make us safer–it will just further embolden them.

    This is how freedom is lost. THE HECKLER’S VETO shuts down freedom, because the government is not defending human rights, but helping to repress them.

    WHY WHY. Israel doesn’t shut down events. Every day serious terrorist threats. They don’t shut down. If you act the way Europe does the terrorist wins.

    • WPM says

      Jun 3, 2017 at 2:59 pm

      European leaders are gutless appeasing cowards that is why, islam is kicking the ass and taking there lunch money and they cry tears that Trump is a big meaney for not kissing there ass !.

  14. Matthieu Baudin says

    It’s hard enough for up and coming bands and performers to gain paying gigs, but this targeted jihad terrorism could make it very difficult, if conditions deteriorate, for even better known performers to make a living in the music industry as they are so dependent these days on income from live performances.
