This is the third "crime in the context of immigration" report of the Federal Criminal Office (BKA) - which is classified for police and civil servants eyes only - but was leaked to best selling newspaper Bild.
It covers crimes by immigrants from January to December last year, a time when hundreds of thousands of migrants poured into Germany.

The report covers crimes by immigrants from January to December last yearThe data comes from 13 of the 16 states which make up the Federal Republic.

The number of criminal offences rose to 208,344 - 92 000 more than in the previous year. But the BKA states: "The vast majority of asylum seekers commit no crime."
The number of crimes by immigrants rose in comparison over 2014 to 2015 by 79 percent, the number of refugees increased at the same time by 440 percent.
Crime rose steadily in the first six months of the year but tapered of to become almost stagnant by the end of it, even though more refugees arrived in the second half.
The nature of the offences appears to be mostly minor: 28,712 cases of riding on public transport without paying the fare, 52,167 incidents of forging paperwork in a bid to get money, 85,035 cases of theft, mosty shoplifting - nearly double those of 2014.

I kinda like you Herman, and I use to think it would be nice to sit, talk and have a nice German lager (or 3) together..

But sometimes lately it seems you tend to insult America and Americans...nothing is accomplished by this...
Such as your picture of a bald eagle eating carrion from a dumpster...

Most of us don't post pictures of Nazi concentration camps and the ovens which were used on the Jews back then..

Every country has its problems and its disgusting people, not only us...

Herman is a good guy. I blame the media.

 

[St. Phatty]

I was just thinking, "God, our country is awfully quiet.

Haven't had a mass shooting for a few weeks."

The big news the last few weeks have been the stock market & the Super Bowl.

Then this, in Florida.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

The MSM have been bilking this POTUS-Russia-We-wee-Party BS for over a year now. Can't they put out some news that people are actually interested in?.....and not some prefabricated political dross.

One year plus of complete and utter bollocks, when they could have been filling the airways with some proper, real and important news.

I'm so tired of personality politics....politics should be about policy and not personality.

thanks to american foreign policy for destabilizing the middle east

Hello Thanks for the kind words. The eagle picture was nominated for the World Press Award also. I like the USA, can´t tell my whole Story but sometimes the arogant americans are boring me. Sitting on their planet USA and thinking they are better than the rest of the world. By the way, what was happining again before some hours in Florida?
Sadly my english isn´t good enough to be part of a discussion, I just can make statements or post a picture.

This forced integration of Europe by vast African and Middle Eastern populations was pre-ordained nearly 100 years ago via The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. We are seeing it in full operation today. Mama Merkel has won prizes for opening the gates of Europe, and American/British foreign policy has aided this plan all along the way.

This form of social engineering is many years in the making by the powerful elites. It aims to break up the social fabric and cohesion of the established clans/tribes/nations and replace it with something that is more easily manageable and more profitable for them.

Wars are a great way to clear a population from a particular area. The problems seem to lie in the volume of 'migrants' that then descend upon where they have fled to, or been directed to go to. Human populations have always been nomadic since time immemorial, particularly when faced with death and destruction.

Most people just want to live in peace, and will keep moving until they find it.

 

[Hermanthegerman]

Hello Trichrider, it was surely a big mistake to let 100 000s people/immigrants in, without checking their IDs. The media said for excample,: "hey that´s pretty we need workers for the booming german economy." What a bullshit, an electician from Syria or Afghanistan isn´t the same like one from Germany or Europe. Now thousends of young man are stranded here and some making trouble. The populists are lucky, now they can divide the people and spread their hate. The european and german societys are changing. As I was a School kid, there was not one turkish ore arabic guy in my School and it was a huge school with 1000 pupils. Today in many classes are more pupil with immigrant backround than german background. The Society found a nice word, the real Germans are called Bio-Deutsch.
The Problem is, the politicians don´t want to talk about the Problems, they repress the theme. That´s why we´ve got a new strong, right wing Party, the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland. It´s frightning, if they are clever and talk more about social themes, we gonna get a new kind of national socialism. The numbers between the old proud SPD and the AfD are very close today, what is shocking. Last week the SPD had 17% and the AfD13% in a survey. Once the SPD had around 40%. Before 4 month we had the elections, since that day, they try to build a new goverment. Now the make a great coalition, CDU,CSU and SPD. Nobody want´s that again, I think the citicens want a new election but the politicians are in fear, that they are punished by the voters and the right wing AfD is becoming the second strongest party in the Bundestag.

Interesting times in Germany, this is a pic from a carneval rally. The Tiger tank has written on it Asylabwehr, what means something like asylee-defender. It´s a case for the
prosecuting attorney.

 

[Hermanthegerman]

Another carneval car, with the AfD theme. They say, we are no nazis but you can see the smal liberal wing and the strong right batwing.

 

[trichrider]

hello back Herman.
i am sad for Germany and hold no anger or resentment for the Duetsch peoples.
my better half was born in Aschaffenberg and immigrated here when a child. her fathers family are still there and have grave concerns for the welfare of Germany.

i have a feeling you love your Duetschland as much as i love America. both have problems and i think it has nothing to do with us particularly, but with some power beyond our understanding or comprehension as Gypsy pointed out, some plan we are not included in or ancillary to.

it is true that middle east was destabilized by Americas (and others) actions and caused the chaos now being observed there, but as we both know, it had nothing to do with us.
we as individuals do not foment or condone violence towards others, we are caught up in it much the same as the intruders have been. they had little choice but to seek safety elsewhere.

it was small groups of politicians on both sides deciding for us, much of the time against our better judgement or will.

to be honest, i am ashamed at the atrocities committed by our elected and installed representatives and many should hang from the gallows for their part.

i wish you and yours well and hope Duetschland can somehow manage to recover and prosper from this insult forced upon its citizens.

be well

 

[Hermanthegerman]

Hello Trichrider, it´s not bad at all in our countrys. I see myself a little bit as a jester, that´s why I am posting such things about the USA or different themes.

 

[trichrider]

schadenfreude?
i trust that's not it.

 

[Hermanthegerman]

schadenfreude?
i trust that's not it.

No, it has nothing to do with Schadenfreude, i can´t say it in english. Jemanden den Spiegel vorhalten? To show somebody a mirror, that he starts to think about things.

I wrote it, godthanks for you (all) and at last for me, that my english is so simple.

 

[Storm Shadow]

Meanwhile ... guess who's deporting African Immigrants...even offering them money to leave... in order to preserve the identity of their "STATE" (Stolen Land)

Same Folks responsible for flooding Europe and trying hard to destroy its unique identity..

FACT CHECK: Have There Been 18 School Shootings In 2018?
Kush Desai | Contributor

Public officials and commentators claimed on Twitter that Wednesday’s high school shooting in Florida is the 18th school shooting of the year.

“Maybe, just maybe, after 18 school shootings in America in just 43 days of 2018 the Congress might want to consider common-sense gun safety legislation and save innocent lives,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted.

“There have been at least 18 school shootings since 2018 began,” tweeted New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey tweeted, “I pray for the families whose lives have been shattered by yet another school shooting –18th of 2018.”

Verdict: False

The commonly cited “18 school shootings” statistic counts suicides and accidental firearm discharges on school grounds as “school shootings.” The Florida incident is the first school mass shooting of 2018, according to FBI standards.

Fact Check:

Authorities reported that a gunman open fired on students and faculty at a Florida high school Wednesday. The suspected shooter was apprehended later that afternoon.

The shooting, which left at least 17 dead and many others injured, led to calls on social media and television for stricter gun control policies.

Many public figures claimed that the Wednesday incident is the 18th school shooting of 2018. The claims cited a database of school shootings that is maintained by Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for gun control measures.

Everytown’s database includes any publicly known incident in which “a firearm discharges a live round inside a school building or on a school campus or grounds.”

This is a broad standard, and Everytown ends up grouping relatively minor incidents together with serious active shooter situations like what happened in Florida. Law enforcement officials apply a considerably more rigorous standard to distinguish an active shooter situation from less serious gun incidents.

Federal agencies like the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security define an active shooter as an “individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area,” such as a school or college campus. In previous analyses of active shooter situations, the FBI has accordingly excluded gun incidents that “appeared generally not to have put others in peril,” going on to list “the accidental discharge of a firearm in a school building or a person who chose to publicly commit suicide in a parking lot” as specific examples.

Many of the incidents that Everytown listed as school shootings fall under these exact two types of situations.

The very first school shooting of 2018 according to the database, for instance, is an incident involving a 31-year-old man shooting and killing himself in a Michigan elementary school parking lot. No teachers or students were harmed or even on the premise, as the school had closed back in June.

Another incident listed in Everytown’s database involved a third grade student at a Minnesota special needs school pulling the trigger of a school liaison officer’s holstered gun. The officer was sitting on a bench, distracted while talking to other children. The bullet hit the ground and no one was injured.

The database also includes a situation where a student at a Texas college accidentally fired a gun at an indoor target. The college’s criminal justice club’s adviser, a law enforcement officer, had left the room with the club’s training gun, mistaking it for his loaded gun. After he left, a student picked up and fired what she thought was the training gun at a target. No one was injured in the incident.

Everytown additionally considers one-off acts of crime involving guns as school shootings.

One example is an incident in which a Maryland high school student was shot in what appeared to have been an attempted robbery. The incident took place on school grounds after classes had ended for the day, although extracurricular activities were still ongoing on the other side of the school’s campus. The victim was admitted and shortly thereafter released from a hospital. Police charged two teens, who the victim knew, with attempted murder the next day.

None of these circumstances involved an active shooter situation. Some incidents listed by Everytown did, such as a January Kentucky high school shooting that left two dead and over a dozen others injured, but many simply involved a firearm being discharged on school property.

And even the Kentucky incident, the second worst school shooting of 2018, did not meet the FBI’s threshold of at least four deaths to be categorized as a “mass shooting.”

Loaded firearms are dangerous and can injure others, but accidental gunshots and public suicides are categorically different, as the FBI has noted, than Wednesday’s incident in which an individual with no clear motive consciously fired a semi-automatic assault rifle at crowds of students.

The Washington Post not exactly a Right-wing, conservative newspaper completely debunks this claim. Here is an excerpt from their story

Everytown has long inflated its total by including incidents of gunfire that are not really school shootings. Take, for example, what it counts as the year’s first: On the afternoon of Jan. 3, a 31-year-old man who had parked outside a Michigan elementary school called police to say he was armed and suicidal. Several hours later, he killed himself. The school, however, had been closed for seven months. There were no teachers. There were no students.

But yeah...I hope they give that psycho the chair.
