Over 1,000 right-wing supporters spontaneously gathered in Chemnitz city centre on Monday following the fatal stabbing of a man, allegedly by migrants, with some attacking foreigners and yelling anti-migrant slogans.
The demonstration, which was largely organised by local football hooligan group Kaotic, came in reaction to a brutal stabbing of a 35-year-old local named Daniel who was attacked on Sunday while attending a street festival, Die Welt reports.
Police are still investigating the motive behind the attack which also saw two other Germans seriously injured, with two arrests, a 23-year-old Syrian migrant and a 22-year-old Iraqi, announced on Monday.

Following the attack, the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) organised a peaceful demonstration of around 100 people that saw no incidents of violence. AfD MP Markus Frohnmaier commented on the stabbing on Twitter writing: “If the state can no longer protect the citizens, people go to the streets and protect themselves.”
“Today it is the citizens’ duty to stop the death-bringing ‘knife migration’! It could have been your father, son or brother!” he added.

Shortly after the initial protest, the football hooligan group Kaotic organised their own demonstration which allegedly saw foreigners targetted with bottles by members of the protest.
I think we need to change the name of things away from the “left” and “right”: the meanings have been to convoluted/altered. Call them “minimalists” (right) and “maximalists” (left) for how much gov’t they want; or use a pyramid as a symbol with the folks wanting less gov’t at the top, and those wanting massive gov’t at the bottom. A visual can help people understand. I bet most folks fighting to have Marxism and Socialism when they see a picture,they will want to be at the top with as little gov’t interference in their lives and bank accounts as possible.… Read more »
