[FreeWestMedia] Germany is shaken up every day in different ways by new "ethnically diverse individual acts". And it is no longer different in the leftwing SPD-ruled, anti-German Karlsruhe.
On Wednesday morning, a 32-year-old Gambia ... The Gambia is actually surrounded by The Senegal on all sides but its west coast. It has a population of about 1.7 million. The difference between the two is that in colonial days Senegal was ruled by La Belle France and The Gambia (so-called because there's only one of it, unlike Guinea, of which there are the Republic of Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, New Guinea, the English coin in circulation between 1663 and 1813, and Guyana, which sounds like it should be another one) was ruled by Britain... n attacked a German in the city. The murder weapon was a beer bottle, which the African not only used to strike with, but also to slit open the victim’s throat.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Gambia’s population is 96% Muslim.
The act took place in the bus stop area of Karlsruhe main station. There the Gambian hit the 22-year-old on the head several times until the bottle broke. In the further course of the attack, the victim is said to have been severely injured in the neck area.
Fortunately, the young man survived and was immediately taken to the nearest hospital. The African migrant was arrested and brought before the competent local court. The cause of the dispute was not given.
The war against native Germans has been going on in Karlsruhe for quite some time now and has been very effective. But city authorities remain more concerned about the well-being of foreign "enrichment" than about the fact that this city is no longer safe.

Pan-Afrikan, or, "Did you really just say my culture is common?"
A musical yoot of Escambia
Blaxplains: "That's the 'viol da gambia,'
Which is played for a dance
We perform with no pants
In the hill of Brazil, viz. the sambia."
The Fifth B, or, "No, I won't be needing a chest."
A fat fantasia in rut
For consort of viols and nut,
With additional parts
For loud voices and farts;
And the whole to be stored in a butt.
Or possibly, artfully nested, in a hogshead?

Her charges are always dropped by local prosecutors.
Using the since-deleted Twitter account, @AndyNgoSUCKS, Molina posed in a picture with the defaced presidential sculpture after onlookers cheered as the statue of President Theodore Roosevelt riding on horseback was thrusted from its pedestal. "Stolen Land" was spray painted over the 26th U.S. president's "Rough Rider" headstone. Molina propped one arm over the orange pool oozing down the memorial.

Yesterday: smashed the Oregon Historical Society bldg and tore down the statues facing it - Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt.
Today they attack a military vet's establishment.
So Antifa are getting more strategic: they're now staging carefully-targeted attacks aimed at destroying our culture's respect for our martial heroes, be they in bronze or in the flesh

[AA.TR] Ottoman Turkish authorities on Monday ordered the deportation of five suspects arrested in counter-terrorism operations against the ISIS/ISIS terror group.
Police officers in the central Cankiri province last Friday arrested five suspects, including four of Syrian origin.
One of the suspects was alleged to be handling financial matters for the terrorist group.
In 2013, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor... became one of the first countries to declare ISIS/ISIS a terrorist group.
The country has since been attacked by ISIS/ISIS holy warriors multiple times, with at least 10 suicide kabooms, seven kabooms, and four armed attacks which killed 315 people and injured hundreds more.
In response, Turkey launched anti-terror operations at home and abroad to prevent further attacks.
