In 2011, I spoke at a rally for freedom in Stuttgart, while Antifa fascists threw bottles, manure, rocks and more at those of us who were on the stage. I took the opportunity to tell them that they were enabling some dangerous forces. The city of Stuttgart, meanwhile, regarded our peaceful rally, not the violent Antifa thugs, as the threat. How is that working out for Stuttgart?
They are not dangerous, they are in danger! Refugees welcome!
“The Night of Shame in Stuttgart: rioters shout ‘Allahu Akbar,” translated from “Die Nacht der Schande von Stuttgart: Randalierer rufen ‘Allahu Akbar,'” Bild, June 22, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):
Stuttgart – A trail of devastation runs through downtown Stuttgart.
500 rioters have turned the city into a battlefield – out of sheer lust for violence!THE NIGHT OF SHAME!
► Saturday, 11.30 p.m. The meadows on Eckernsee near the city center are full of people celebrating when a police patrol detains “a 17-year-old German with a white skin,” said police vice president Thomas Berger (48): It’s about drugs.
300 young people immediately gather and throw bottles and paving stones at the police. While the officials call for reinforcements, the mob moves in small groups towards the city center.
► Sunday, midnight. The violence explodes. “Windows were demolished, the pavement torn open, the stones thrown at police officers,” said local resident Matthias Grohe. “It was a warlike situation.”
Rioters, masked with balaclavas and scarves, break shop windows, carry away what they can carry. Alarm systems howl, glass splinters.
“People were looking for shelter with us,” says Alexander Günther (22), who is a waiter in the café “le theater”. “They were scared.”
“The waiters quickly cleared everything,” says Daniel Schmidt (43) from the “Terrazza” bistro. The landlord barricades himself, turns off the lights: “Our tables and chairs were thrown around and ended up in police cars.”
► 1.15 a.m. A man in a green vest breaks in the rear window of a police car and pulls out equipment. The crowd cheers and applauds. When an officer wrestles a riot to the ground, a hooded man comes running and kicks the policeman off the suspect with full force.
It is an incredible dimension of violence. Blind rage for destruction, paired with tests of strength with the police and the possibility of disappearing undetected into the crowd and the darkness.
Who are the rioters?
“It looks like especially young people with a migration background were among the principal rioters,” says Hans-Jürgen Kirstein (54), head of the GdP.
Police deputy Thomas Berger said yesterday: Of the 24 detainees, 12 were Germans, three with a migration background. The other half comes from. a. from Bosnia, Portugal, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan. They are “from the party scene”, which has been boasting of aggressive behavior against the police on social media for weeks.
A video shows the rioters shouting “Allahu Akbar!” in the city center. Eyewitnesses confirm BILD’s report.
► 4.30 a.m. Only now do the 280 police officers have the situation under control.
19 officers are injured in a night that will make history as the “disgrace of Stuttgart”.
