DW>Subject: Violence update 1.10.92

DW>Berlin: A member of the Bezirksverordnetenversammlung (a borough parliament
DW>in Berlin) in Neukoelln has stepped down. The member of the Green Party,
DW>who was born in Iran, received eight threatening calls to his unlisted
DW>number after a verbal fight in the BVV. The right-wing party "Republikaner"
DW>had requested a statistic about the percent of criminals who are foreigners,
DW>and used this as a starting point for one of their typical tirades against
DW>the foreigners in general. As tempers rose the member tried to calm down
DW>both sides. After the threats, that included threats against his children
DW>and the suggestion that he "go home" (he is now a German citizen!), he
DW>made the personal decision to step down.

The radicals start to destroy the democracy.

DW>Berlin: A young musician from Brazil was attacked in the U-Bahn and
DW>will lose three fingers as a result. A dozen youth were in the well-filled
DW>car at around 10pm as it went through the western city center in the
DW>direction of Ruhleben. One of the youth came up to the Brazilian and
DW>kicked him. The Brazilian said (in English) "Please, I do not want
DW>trouble". Not one of the passengers said a word, the Brazilian attempted
DW>to get out at Wittenbergplatz. The gang grabbed his bicycle and threw it
DW>out of the car, they held the Brazilian, put one of his hands in the
DW>doorway and slammed the door on it three times. Hard. They opened the
DW>door again, threw him onto the floor, kicked his face, and continued on
DW>their journey with the subway. The musician had unfortunately pulled his
DW>jackknife out in an attempt to protect himself, the knife opened as
DW>the door was slammed on his hand, severing the tendons in three of the
DW>fingers, that were only still attached to his hand by strips of skin.
DW>He will lose the fingers. Not *one* of the many passangers has called the
                                 ^^^^^
DW>authorities to even describe the youth that must have ridden on
DW>in the car at least one station. The Brazilian has refused to file a
DW>complaint for fear of retribution.

That is exactly what I mean!!! NOBODY of all the (beeeeeep) Germans is
fighting the rising Nazism!!! It does get worse. It starts again. I
recall the comment of an old man, who experienced the first rise
of the Nazis as an adult: It has started the same way.
Again, Debora, thanks so much for the Info.

deeply frustrated, Carl.
