German police 'should shoot migrants', populist politician says

German police should "if necessary" shoot at migrants seeking to enter the country illegally, the leader of a right-wing populist party has said.
Frauke Petry, head of the eurosceptic Alternativ fuer Deutschland (AfD) party, told a regional newspaper: "I don't want this either. But the use of armed force is there as a last resort."
Her comments were condemned by leftwing parties and by the German police union.

More than 1.1 million migrants arrived in Germany last year.

Also on Saturday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said most migrants from Syria and Iraq would go home once the wars in their countries had ended.
She told a conference of her centre-right CDU party that tougher measures adopted last week should reduce the influx of migrants, but a European solution was still needed.


(continued, same old Germans...)

Yes, the tension the influx created, and Europe was not prepared for, brings out same old attitudes again. Europe is getting brown, Nazi brown. What we've learned from history? Obviously we have not learned that hatred does not produce favourable outcomes.

Never trust a German solution....to anything involving large numbers of people.

Europe has enjoyed 70 years of peace. Normal service will soon be resumed - and now that the traditional Teutonic-Latin incendiary brew has a nice dash of middle eastern spice, the next blow up will be fucking spectacular. Brexit will be the start of it.

Jihadists are no doubt working on something enormous that will find a way through. Then there will be another...and another. The responses will become ever more desperate from the extremes, ever weaker from the centre. Chuck in financial Arnageddon as well and things will look very, very bad.

I don't want it to happen, and I don't blame one particular aspect of the situation, but human nature and a fast-changing world is likely to have major consequences in a historically turbulent region like Europe.

Most of your prognostications are quite likely to turn into reality. You identified the ingredients accurately and summarised how they will be cooked well enough. The polarisation toward the ends of the spectrum will be particularly alarming and the floundering in the middle pathetic. None of it will lead to the end of civilisation as we know it, though.

Maybe there's hope for Germany after all!
