Austria: Muslim migrant goes on arson rampage, sets fires at Graz court and city hall, cops rule out terrorism

Jun 23, 2019 9:52 am By Robert Spencer

More of the willful ignorance that is steadily killing the free world.

“Iraqi Migrant Arrested After Arson Rampage in Austria,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 19, 2019:

A 45-year-old Iraqi migrant has been arrested after being suspected of setting multiple fires in the centre of Graz including at a district court and the city hall.

According to investigators, the attacks began at 10:40 a.m. at the district court of Graz-West with spokesman Elisabeth Dieber saying that the man sprayed what was described as an inflammable liquid in the court’s foyer and set fires before running away, Austrian tabloid Kronen Zeitung reports.

Soon after the initial arson, another fire was set in front of the Graz city hall which was witnessed by Christian Köberl, spokesman for Graz’s Mayor Seigfried Nagl. “Staff saw it on video surveillance and sounded the alarm,” he told Austrian media.

Köberl claimed that three fires were set and the smoke from the fires was so thick that he could not see more than half a metre in front of his face.

The suspect once again fled the scene only to emerge at the Department of Social Affairs and Family Law on the fourth floor of another government building where he once again set fires, causing 150 employees to be evacuated from the building.

The final arson attack took place at the nearby Graz central railway station where the suspect was eventually caught by police who had mobilised a large-scale deployment including deploying a helicopter.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the fires and police say that they are still unsure as to the motive for the attacks but have so far ruled out any terrorist connection….

    At least they’re not blaming the “far right”…

      Yes, Austrians and Germans feel a collective guilt for the Hitler aberration even though they were not alive at the time. The have adopted the NEUROTIC strategy of bringing REAL BROWN FASCISTS into their country who can PUNISH the Austrians and Germans for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers. IT IS PSYCHIATRIC. NEARLY ALL AUSTRIANS AND GERMANS NEED A PSYCHIATRIST to shake off this COLLECTIVE DELUSION of guilt for something that occurred BEFORE THEY WERE BORN.

    Cops rule out terrorism and their own use of common sense. Get those Austrian cops some lip balm. They’re probably chapped from kissing so much Muslim ass.

      Thank you Kilauea, your Message was Perfect. I wished I could have written it, but the Important thing, is that You Are Right & You Are Texting my Thoughts, Too! Thanks Again!

        Right on, Kilauea. Container shiploads of lip balm are sailing towards Hanover harbor right now.

    I wonder if a non-moslem torched a mosque and ran away, would that be considered “non terrorism”? I guess so just to make things equal. It would just be like a protest expression or some such thing. Free speech like.

      Good point. Transparently and forcefully obvious they are using a DOUBLE STANDARD.

      There should NOT be a DOUBLE STANDARD for judging Islamic terrorists.

    Everyday it becomes more and more obvious than that police forces themselves are an enemy to the societies they are supposed to be protecting. For those who say that ‘oh not all police are bad” I say “oh not all Germans were Nazis”. The enemy within are not just leftists academics,politicians and the media but the very people who are supposed to be protecting us from those that would harm our societies. Under the blue uniforms they are red through and through. At least the heighrachy anyway. The “beat” cops are just programmed robots.

    After reading the austrian paper and reading that the police have had issues with this guy in the past and that those issues did not have to do with religion but something else, i tend to believe that this was NOT terrorist related but rather lunatic related. He was pissed off at the courts. That being said, do we really need to create terrorists out of lunatics? No, i don’t think we do…there are plenty of genuine terrorist events every single day.

      A “lunatic” can be a terrorist.

    “have so far ruled out any terrorist connection”
    —————————————————————————————-
    “ruled out” and “so far” can’t be used together. The only way to translate this to English, is to say, “Please don’t think poorly of Muslims until we get to the bottom of this”.
