@t6,01 @^@f02@cVOICES ABOUT NEO-NAZI RIOTS IN GERMANY @f00@t5 COLLECTED BY RokDaZone @ta Well, come on... I am depressed. Yes, I am sad about the low response, I have gotten from you out there! Do you remember? I asked a whole lot of you to drop a short line to me, telling about your opinion concerning the latest neo-Nazi riots in Germany... So, what is now? I only got 2 (TWO) responses from scene members. Great! Yes, I guess one can see how much this glorious scene sees what is going on around them. Well, I`ve said, I will do this article and so here it is... I simply took statements from people, concerning this topic, out of newspapers, TV and also, I asked my friends about their opinion - and here you are. Many thanks to my mate @^ RockEronic/DESERT. HE has answered. Moreover, he wrote a real comment which I you are able to read in the first place. Thanks also to the guy, wanting to stay anonymous. Well, dear S..., although I am not the same opinion than you are - thank you for your support. Most of the statements are shortened and I also do not always agree with what has been said... If all you others out there, I did not contact and ask, like the idea however, drop a line to the wellknown address (?) to be found in the essential addresses list. Maybe you can prove my upper statement wrong? @# @t6,01 @^@t1 RockEronic/DESERT: (Germany) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta In principal, I am horrified! [...] A country, having its own problems with not being able to treat all its inhabitants equally can not be wanted to take up all people, requesting for asylum. Just as little than this, however, one can`t sent back politically pursued people to their countries. Surely, this is a probleme,which can`t be solved today or tomorrow.Neither by violence, nor by endless discussions. [...] Of course, one can not generalize and state, only skins are responsible for this kind of "actions". One has to condemn them as well as the people, standing behind their windows and applauding! [...] @^ As long as there is not enough space (means: housing!) for the German population, one can not want us to accomodate "Foreigners". I hope, I did not scared anyone with my attitude! But,in principal it is just the way it is,or? @t1AN ANONYMOUS GUY OF A WELLKNOWN GROUP (Denmark) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta Ok. Some is shit about da Nazis,but if they can remove the foreigners, then I don`t care about to "Sieg Heil". But, ok, a lot of shit else is bad about them (Don`t mention about my name in da article). @t7(Name known to the writer) @# @t6,01 @^@t1 MICHAEL REICH (German Amiga User) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta First of all: The whole thing was incredible in the negativest sense. In the beginning I even didn`t realize what was going on, but when sitting in front of the TV I saw the reports. My first reaction: Are these still human beings? And when seeing the crowd I thought, we are heading to the past not to future. The police should have sanctionatig much more, when seeing that left-winged demonstrations are being stopped much earlier - even before things get out of control. [...] Especially the poor asylum searchers who are the last people to be blamed. [...] The utter whole thing would have been @^addressed much better in Bonn with the government. I felt like having sat down in dogshit I was surrounded by something ugly stinking brown-coloured. @t1 RUEDIGER NOWAK (Germany) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] Foreigners do have a right to live in Germany. However, our government has the right to determine the procedure and to refuse those who come looking for a job. This applies in America. Why not in Germany? @# @t6,01 @^@t1 ROBERT GILCHRIST (Georgia/USA) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] While no one can condone the attacks against foreigners in Germany, the German people have every right to insist that their country remain ethnically German. @t1 BJORN STEINMARCK (Sweden) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] After World War I there was a party in Germany that at first was insignificant - NSDAP, the Nazis - and its leader was a political clown named Adolf Hitler. History has shown what an aching misjudgement that was. There are reasons to fear the neo-Nazi resurgences in today's united Germany. @^@t1 HANS DEMBERGER (Germany) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta Foreigners must be protected and offenders punished. But a great number of Germans feel their own government cares more for foreigners than for them. [...] Our government should solve these [problemes] before we can become a haven for all. @t1 NAVID DILMAGHANIAN, M.D. (Turkey) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta Although most Germans do not support skinheads, attacking foreigners and minority groups has become an approved way of expressing violence in Germany. Economic reasons cannot be a reason to threaten any life. @# @t6,01 @^@t1 GEORGINA KRAUS (Colorado/USA) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] I lived in Germany for more than seven years before I realized that the Nazi era came about not because of active evil, but through denial and passivity. @t1 GEORGE A. TAYLOR (United Kingdom) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] Until Germany learns to overcome its intolerance,the specter of a large and racist Germany will always be a cause for concern. @^@t1 E.E.VALERIANO (Netherlands) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta [...] Those young neo-Nazis may be unemployed and genuinely frustrated, but I'm not so sure about the cheering crowd that egged them on. And if the situation is really more economic than racial, why don`t they attack the government instead? @t7(ROK: Because they are protected by police and military, I guess!) @t1 HARALD GROBE (Germany) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta During the '70s and '80s,I used to say that I was proud to be a German. When skinheads and neoNazis later used this expression,I was somewhat reluctant to reiterate it. I always @# @t6,01 @^@tabelieved in the reunification of Germany, and when it took place in 1990, I was overwhelmed. But now, faced with what is happening today in united Germany against those seeking asylum, guest workers from abroad and foreigners in general, I confess I am fully ashamed to be a German. Still, I do believe the major- ity of the German people do not back the actions of violence against the foreigners. @t1 AHMET YILDIZ (Turkish, living in Germany) @t6--------------------------------------- @ta The German constitutuional law has to be changed,because Germany is not able to take much more asylum seekers.[...] People being in here for years mustn`t be forced to go back to their country, because this would destroy their whole existance, they have build here. @^ @f01@t1... and that`s it, folks! @f02@t8>>> RokDaZone <<< @@
