The Washington Post is actually reporting this!
CALDEN, Germany This German town renowned for its rococo palace threw open its doors to arriving waves of refugees.
Donations from clothing drives filled four garages. The volunteer fire department pitched in to build a tent city at the airport that now teems with 1,400 migrants.
But like other Germans in a country that has rolled out the welcome mat for Europes largest wave of asylum seekers since World War II, residents here are having second thoughts.
That is especially true after the riot. In this quaint municipality of 3,000 inhabitants, the chaos started at lunchtime Sunday when a 19-year-old Albanian cut in the food line at the towns new tent city, prompting a reprimand from a 43-year-old Pakistani.
Pushes degenerated into punches. Soon, 300 migrants wielding pepper spray and metal pipes were attacking each other in rival mobs.
A caravan of ambulances and SWAT team vans careened down streets lined with gawking residents. More than 50 police officers struggled for hours to restore order, with three hospitalized with injuries, according to witnesses and local officials.
You know, when the refugees started coming, I was one of those who saw people needing help and I thought we have to help, said Harry Kloska, 46, a shaggy-haired instructor in the skydiving club based at the airport. He and his stunned clients huddled inside his office as the violence flared, Kloska said.
But its been weeks [since the refugee camp opened], and I have a different opinion now, he said. I am not sure that were going to be able to do this, to help so many people from so many different countries.
No kidding!

Tent city being constructed near Berlin. If this was happening in America, I would hope citizens would not tolerate it!

Makes ya kind of wonder what all of the FEMA tents and trailers are for doesn't it. Why they have been gathering and storing emergency rations. The possibilities are varied, but I don't think they are for the citizenry. I would like to believe they are for the homeless, but if that were so, what are they waiting for? Winter?

The same thing will occur here when the 10's of 1,000's Obama's 'refugee's' finally arrive.

These folks ( if you wish to call them that) have a totally different culture than the far more civilized Germans, It is their eventual goal to force their barbaric life style where ever they happen to settle, not to mention the 'free' stuff that they feel entitled to. Germany has come a long way from the 'Hitler' days. and now realize the current mistake.
