German prosecutor: The ethnic origin of the attackers has “no bearing” on the violent nature of the crime.
A group of four Afghan and Iranian refugees were charged with assaulting 21 people in the Bavarian town of Amberg last December.
These refugees received light sentences after a German prosecutor concluded that they assaulted passersby out of “boredom” and “alcohol consumption.”
“Police officers, called as witnesses, described a dramatic and large operation that took place on the night in question,” German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported. “During which they saw bleeding people who had become victims (of the assault).
As part of a plea bargain, three of the defendants can walk after getting suspended sentences, while the ring leader of the gang received a two-year prison term. The convicted migrants will continue to enjoy asylum status in Germany.
The ethnic origin of the attackers has “no bearing” on the violent nature of the crime, declared the chief prosecutor handling the case.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported the prosecutor’s findings:
Chief prosecutor Joachim Diesch said at the conclusion of the investigation that the probable cause for the assault was a combination of boredom, alcohol consumption and peer pressure. The incident must not be see in light of the origin of the four accused. The psychiatric expert also talked about the loss of inhibition due to alcohol and peer dynamics. [Translation by the author]
German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported the details of the case, but removed the reference to “boredom, alcohol consumption” as the justification for the crimes in the later version:
Four asylum-seekers accused of attacking several town residents and a policeman in the Bavarian city of Amberg entered a plea deal on Tuesday, with three defendants agreeing to suspended sentences and the fourth set to go to prison. All four defendants from Afghanistan and Iran also apologized for the assaults.
The group, ranging in ages from 17 to 21, confessed to harassing and assaulting passers-by while under the influence of alcohol and drugs on the evening December 29, 2018. During the incident, they attacked 21 people on the street. Some 15 of them were hurt, suffering mostly minor injuries.
As part of the plea deal, the court in Amberg agreed to hand down suspended sentences of between six and 18 months for three of the four accused and a prison sentence of at least two years for the man suspected of leading the group.
The case gained prominence after Interior Minister Horst Seehofer used it as evidence that stricter deportation laws were needed to deal with immigrants who commit crimes.
Ahead of the trial, investigators interviewed 100 witnesses and examined video footage from the scene.
“‘Men’ [referring to the description of the asylum seekers in the news reports] can indiscriminately beat up people in this country, as in the case of Amberg, and get suspended sentences.” Alice Weidel, head of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party said. “The correct response to the attackers from Afghanistan and Iran should have been a detention pending deportation — and out.”
The sentencing caused the German media to worry about a “right-wing backlash.” “Tensions are rising after four asylum-seekers were charged with assault in the Bavarian city of Amberg,” Deutsche Welle claimed Tuesday.

“The ethnic origin of the attackers has “no bearing” on the violent nature of the crime.”
The liberal left in Germany would like that to be true – even if it is not.
A high correlation between crime and ethnic origin (from Muslim majority countries) does not fit the leftist liberal narrative – and must be dismissed.

German government and their media do everything to blandish Muslim crimes ! And to make everyone silent who speaks the truth about them ! Merkel dictatorship as it’s best !

Time to bring that principle to national policies.

Silly softie, Pseudowarrior, real men are not vigilantes or genocidists like you. We have a world based on law and you are too sophomoric to know that.
Your kind were harshly punished at Nuremburg. They were shameless like you.
CRUSADER says
Now you are sounding like “christian blood” and “lebel”
Move on, Mortimer you bore me.
Save your ammunition for those who deserve it, like the real enemy,

Mortimer you should realize that we can’t defeat this enemy with laws. Our laws are currently bring used against us by the enemy and they are doing extremely well.

Mortimer, noting that Muslim immigrants are bringing violence here is not “genocidal”–it is just citing the truth.
somehistory says
If the “origin of the attackers had no bearing” then the “excuses” shouldn’t be considered either.
Beat someone up cause you are bored…want his shoes…he looks at you funny…you want his wife…or he laughed at something you said…the results are still the same: the buy gets beaten up.
The “origin” and the “reasons” are all the same….moslims learn to believe what islam tells them and islam tells them to act like demons. They hate, they lust to hurt, they lust for blood.
and they won’t stop just because they received light sentences or no sentences. islam tells them not to stop.
J_not_a says
Exactly, some history. These disgusting pathetic lawyers think they can have it both ways when “defending” their filth “clients”. Either their culture allows for their behaviour, or then their excuses are reprehensible and unacceptable and does not fit in with the hosts’.
Rarely says
Why is it, I wonder, that these asylum seekers never seem to take out their hostility on other asylum seekers? I guess they would then be rightfully accused of being Islamophobic.
“Peer pressure” translates into “we are a gang because we have no courage individually”.
“Bored” means unemployed and not in any training program.
“Drunk and on drugs” means “we are not devout muslims except when it comes to being viciously aggressive to our hosts”.
A good thing that Germany has come to grips with this sort of behavior — just allow it until they can’t and slap a few wrists.
CogitoErgoSum says
I guess they never heard of playing a game of chess or cards when they are bored. Nope, the reason they came to Germany was to get drunk and find some German girls.
mortimer says
The ethnic origin of the attackers has most CERTAINLY has a bearing on where the CRIMINALS SHOULD BE SENT after serving their legal punishments … back to BERZERKISTAN.
CRUSADER says
Why send them back particularly if they are egregious in their crimes / assaults
or if they are in effect political prisoners. Keep them in prison or execute them
for their crimes of undermining society. Why send them back to where they will
be embraced and plot against the West?

Let us be inspired by thought provoking words,
but not fall into the trap which Howard Zinn presents below:
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we only see the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places – and there are so many – where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.”

This is not about ethnicity–it is about Islam.
abad says
Ethnicity is not the issue, Mortimer. Islam is the problem.
The fact that Germany did not take in a single REAL refugee like the Syrian Christians (WHO??) during the Syrian war and instead took in all those Moslems who lied about being “refugees” is very telling.
Moslems simply do not belong in western Europe.
If they want to go to Turkey and Ishnaq there, fine, I’m sure Erdogan would appreciate them.
Joe@joemail.com says
Erdogan is the one telling isis to invade Europe. He’s been behind them all along.
CRUSADER says
Why give Erdogan any more soldiers against the West or informants about the West?
Convict these bastards, and be done with them.
Do not send them elsewhere in the world.
Send them to Hell !

And this has “what” to do with the article?
CRUSADER says
You should view it and see for yourself….
Here are some pointers:
> How voting populations are misguided
> How the elite in authority skew matters of policy
> How racism is used to distort reality
> Remember Germany last century? Jews have a short memory about authoritarians.
> Secular leftism is doing damage to the West
> Anti-Semitism is on the rise
But you’d get this from the video….

It is not just Jewish people who are voting leftist–and it is not Jews who are responsible for the immigration policies of Germany.
WPM says
The people in power in Germany seem to worship to their god of white guilt , virtue signaling, PC correctness, they are put into power by the people who voted them in. The people who voted them in buy into the lie that western culture is evil and must either disappear or bend submitted to Islam because of atonement to”sins ” committed in the passed. So roving gangs attacking other people according to their gang laws in their holy books are just bored teenagers, a group of lone wolves operating in a wolf pack .Drunk, or on drugs ,or boredom ,never examining what real drove the attacks is Islam(how many other groups that are drunk and on drugs get into organized thug behavior with the authorities putting no blame on the gang as a whole ,if a group of Hells angles cause mayhem at a event they would be labeled Hells Angels gang cause riot) . So roving gangs of people attacking others who do not belong to their “gang” at”western culture events” should be part of normal living in western Europe cities? It should be acceptable behavior with those gang members not expecting any real punishment from the authorities in charge ,that these little incidents grow over time seems to surprise members of the public there who keep electing government officials who keep the whole process of appeasement in place.

One must conclude that the breakdown of civil law and order in Germany is being actively promoted as part of a project to neuter the indigenous population. Ditto Britain and France.

Germany: “Asylum-seekers” assault passersby out of “boredom,” prosecutors say origin of attackers has “no bearing”
……………………
Uh…right. Even if this claptrap were true–which it is not–why would we want people in our societies who assault innocent people when bored?
And as if Germany didn’t have a lot more entertainment than does Afghanistan (unless, of course, they miss floggings and stonings).
But the fact is that Islam demands the brutalization of all Infidels who have not submitted to Islam. That is the real reason for these Muslims assaulting Germans.

Yes, correct. Plus, they are the scum of the earth. A scourge for all mankind.

Germany is lost as is France and England, Sweden, Norway, etc. the unfetteed invasion by Muslim immigrants is destroying their sovereignty and customs! It’s never acclimation only invasion and destruction!! Crime is rampant ! The so called leaders like Merkel, Macron, and May have been blind to the cost and destruction, and are basically stupid! They need to be removed from office immediately! Italy, Poland, Hungary, and Greece are fighting back and closing their borders. The tax paying citizens of these countries are suffering the most. Wake up before it’s too late people!!
Only God can save them now!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!!
I thank the lord daily we have Pres Trump to protect America and our borders and our sovereignty!
Trump 2020 our only hope! ???????????? The world depends on it too! ??????

“right-wing backlash”
That’s code for indigenous Europeans waking up and voting for political candidates who will represent THEM, for a change.
vlad says
Funny how, in America, the only time we hear the word “supremacist” is when it has “white” in front of it, as if there were no other kind, as if “white” is part of the same word. The left uses it because they wore out “racist.” Meanwhile, there’s a whole totalitarian ideology based on the idea of supremacy — but not one mentions it.
That’s how you can tell who the powerful are…the ones we’re not supposed to talk openly against.
Meanwhile, Eastern Europe is to be greatly admired and aligned with, as Western Europe, no longer America’s allies (although the left thinks so) drifts further away from Western civilization. One of the “final straws” was finding out that GB was the #1 country that said “Oh, President Trump, do not release the FISA and other documents showing that we did the intel work you could not, in order to rig the 2016 election and then try to overthrow the president.” Hope DT carries through with releasing it all.
