Try again.
I agree after watching some more videos, especially from Berlin where the situation was the same, and the people were regular Germans, not immigrants. I asked the mods to change the thread title for being misleading.

No, they are not.

You saw white german teens shooting guns like they are doing in this video, I doubt it.

This video is insane. I believe they are blank and fireworks guns but its a strange scene. This scene doesnt even seem like a western country.

Not sure how many got hurt, but that is just crazy.
Looks like some of the neighborhoods around my house on New Year's Eve. They're just having fun with fireworks. I'm surprised they allow all those fireworks in the city though. They're illegal in the city nearby, but I live in an unincorporated area of my county, and there are fireworks all over the place during the time periods allowed (two weeks in July and two weeks in December).

Right. Just because I have not seen anything like it before, does not mean it's new and unusual. I have now seen a bunch of videos from different parts of Europe, and understand they are simply more relaxed with the fire-works laws/enforcement than here.

Were there guns? I thought it was just fireworks. In South Texas, many people stay inside on NYE because a lot of people shoot guns instead of fireworks. Now that's crazy!

It's interesting that Florida doesn't allow them. We have places that don't, and when it's really dry during a drought they will ban them. But my area of Texas normally allows them outside of the cities. Thankfully, my neighborhood has pretty strict rules against them. But it's pretty much a tradition for us to get fireworks and shoot them off nearby. It's a lot of fun too!

What i did see were white German teens and youth pointing bottle rockets at areas with crowds in order to shoot them into groups of bystanders. I saw white kids throwing fireworks into groups of people, chucking beer bottles (glass), and pissing out in public in front of everyone.

Shocking I know: white people (believe it or not) are capable of boorish and uncivilized behavior as well. This was also back before Germany even had a massive influx of immigrants. You've never been to NYE in Europe have you? What fantasy land are you living in if you think those scenes like in those video clips aren't common in Europe during NYE? The day after NYE, it looked like downtown Gottingen got bombed by the Allies because there was so much trash, broken glass from thrown bottles, and foul smelling **** everywhere.

In this video guns are being fired into the air, blank guns it seems from the look of the nozzles but its a very strange scene for a western country. The fireworks are just being shot at people, this scene seemed alot like cologne last year with all the sexual assaults.
