Angela Merkel admits there ARE 'no-go' areas in Germany that 'nobody dares' to enter
2018-03-01
[DailyMail]
  • Chancellor said there are parts of her country police and others fear going to

  • She argued a zero-tolerance approach to crime must not tolerate such areas

  • Her spokesman Steffen Seibert declined to name the specific locations today

  • He said Merkel's words speak for themselves, leaving some officials speechless

#13  What changed? Because for Merkel to come out and say this, SOMETHING has happened. Poll numbers? Intelligence? Revolt of her own party?

#12  Most Germans would find the Bavarian accent challenging :-)

Berlin definitely has hotspots, also Frankfurt and Duisburg.

I wouldn't compare these places with no go areas in the Parisian banlieue, but Berlin-Neukölln may be getting close.

The area around Munich Central Station is rather unsafe at night but definitely not a no go area.

#11  Not in Bavaria

It’s true that Bavaria is a special place, European Conservative. I treasure the memories of our visit there, though I found the local accent challenging in a way that Hesse’s was not. But in an Austrian village I had to ask the local post office clerk to write down the price for a stamp, so that establishes my brackets.

The Basic Law severely restricts operations of the Bundeswehr inside the country.

And now we know. Thank you, my dear.

#8  and the Germans do not have a Posse Comitatus Act to restrain themselves with.

Even to think such a thing proves to the German elites that you are a rightwing, rayciss Neonazi, Procopius2k, and need to be jailed post haste.

#7  South of Kandahar and along the Pak border, the Albanian SF did as well. Strange isn't it, the TB never wanted to fok with them. Strange, very strange.

#6  BTW, the German special forces turned in a credible job in Afghanistan, and the Germans do not have a Posse Comitatus Act to restrain themselves with. Just saying.
