Leave it to the Germans to take things way too far... Never fails.


You'd think a country known for outstanding beer would be more laid back...

Really? Given German history, why would anyone believe that?

Germans are quite the opposite of “laid back” even after a few strong beers.

I wouldn't be surprised if Antifa was behind this, or some other far left extremist group.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I vote for Gavin McRacist of the "Proud Boys" to get his beating next.

I’d give everything I have to throw hands with that fool in a 3 round contest without gloves in any ring in America, and I’d do it for free and pay for my own Transportation to get there.

Just one question: will the media and commentators EVER( and I do mean EVER) refer to any politician as "far left"??

Rhetorical question....we know the answer to that, don't we gang??
I guess there must not BE any such thing.....huh....

Have you forgotten the killing of Left Wing Labour MP Jo Cox in the UK by Far Right extremist Thomas Mair in 2016.

Far-right terrorist Thomas Mair jailed for life for Jo Cox murder | The Guardian

Politicians are often targets for hate from many different groups who hold opposding views, which is why they often increasingly have police protection.

In the UK, a number of politicians have been murdered in recent decades, including Andrew Pennington in 2000, when he was attacked by a man brandishing a samari sword who was later detained under the Mental Health Act, whilst Ian Gow, Airey Neave and Anthony Berry were murdered by Irish nationalist groups.

In recent days MP Anna Sourby and other MP's have called for police to tackle hatred and harrassment in relation to Brexit, as they are being accosted entering Parliament.

The only real solution is better police protection for politicians.

Thankfully the German Politician survived, unlike others I have already mentioned.
