On the heels of the fine a German politician must pay for citing Afghan “migrant” rape statistics comes a report that “refugees” in Thuringia have begun a crime wave on trains that has terrified passengers and rail workers.
The head of the workers‘ union has said that she sees workers several times a week to hear complaints about the “refugee” crime. Knife attacks are part of the criminals’ repertoire of terror.
And German cops do nothing about it in some cases, the report at Remix News says.
More Than Insults
“Insults, harassment, violence, and even the threat of knife attacks” are “making [the train workers’] jobs unbearable,” Remix reported, citing Focus Online’s interview with Railway and Transport Union chief Steffi Recknagel.
And sometimes, the train work or travel is “life-threatening,” Recknagel told the website.
And “refugees” or perhaps “migrants” are the culprits.
“I have an average of three employees sitting in my Erfurt office every week for legal advice. They were attacked, spat on, insulted, threatened or pushed,” Recknagel said.
The female union boss shared information describing the everyday crime train attendants and train drivers face, including verbal and physical violence, and even knife crime. However, she said constant verbal harassment is also taking its toll.
“The worst case was that a train attendant was threatened with a knife,” said Recknagel, while another was physically attacked from behind and “the air was knocked out of her.”
In other cases, female train workers were “slapped,” “kicked,” had their clothing pulled, and were “treated aggressively.” In some cases, the perpetrators told these female workers they were not allowed to speak because they are women.
Some lines are worse than others, notably the “bad stretch between the state capital of Erfurt and Suhl.”
That’s because Suhl is the unfortunate home to a “refugee” center that is packed with Syrians, Afghans, and Turks who use the line.
Said Recknagel:
I drive the Erfurt-Suhl route every day. And unfortunately, I have to say it like this: It is mostly young men from the initial reception center who misbehave completely on our trains. They always travel in groups and feel strong together.
Another word for groups is “gangs.”
Employees are terrified and often ignore the miscreants for fear of becoming a target.
“Our people are afraid, very afraid,” Recknagel continued. “We have employees who say: ‘If these groups are on the train, then I won’t check tickets.’ Then, they say they’ll stay at the front with the train driver or lock themselves in their cabin until they get to a safe station and they get out.”
The trains don’t have enough security guards, she told the website, and “they can’t do much more than kick people out at the next train station.” The cops then let them go.
“A week later, we have the same people sitting on the train again, and the whole thing repeats itself,” said Recknagel. “Nothing happens, it just doesn’t happen.”
Letter to Leftists
Conductors don’t check tickets, apparently, for a reason: The “refugees” refuse to buy them and board the trains without them. So says a letter from the train companies to Thuringia Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow.
The letter describes the “dramatic” situation facing train workers from “people with a migration background,” and the works council notes the “everyday” nature of these attacks and insults, and not just the larger incidents that make their way into the national newspapers….
The letter … noted that controlling these individuals, who often refuse to buy tickets, is dangerous, and in addition to physical attacks against both male and female workers, female staff have been targeted with “sexist insults and spit on in a disgusting manner,” including incidents in which migrants pulled down their pants and exposed their genitals to these women.
The letter described a car “heavily contaminated with blood,” workers seeking refuge in the train away from the out-of-control criminals, and a woman whom they chased off the train. Women workers’ husbands are riding the trains to protect their wives.
“We don’t need to talk at this point about the psychological consequences for our still very young colleague and the passengers, given the scenes that could have come from a civil war zone!” the letter said.
Rapes, Rapes, and More Rapes
Far from being a surprise, the report is almost back-page news. “Migrant” violent crime is routine. But Germans aren’t allowed to discuss it.
As The New American reported last week, Marie-Thérèse Kaiser of the Alternative for Germany Party was fined $6,500 for publicizing the government’s data on Afghan rape.
The data show that last year’s rate for Afghans per 100,000 inhabitants of Germany was 80. The rate for Germans is eight. As general crime goes, the rate for Afghans is 14,557 versus 1,842 for Germans.
On New Year’s Eve 2015-2016, rampaging Arabs and North Africans sexually assaulted 1,200 women across more than a dozen German cities.
“Refugees” are also involved in knife and other attacks.
