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

Altlandsberg (Brandenburg, north of Berlin): There was a fire bombing of
a house over a Turkish grocery store here about 10 days ago, it was
reported on the Brandenburg pages of the tagesspiegel. The owner of the
grocery shop, a Turk, suffered third degree burns and is still not
able to talk with police. The German persons living over the store managed
to get out before they were hurt. The police have no clues at to the
persons that committed the crime, the wife of the man hurt has said that
they do not appear to by trying very hard.

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