The fatal stabbing of a German by a group of migrants triggered riots in the eastern German city of Chemnitz. Several thousand demonstrators took to the streets on Monday night calling for an end to Chancellor Merkel\u2019s open borders policy, media reports say.<\/p>\n

Around two thousand right-wing protesters clashed with a thousand left-wing counter-demonstrators on Monday evening, according to German media reports. Earlier, hundreds gathered in the city center on Sunday after a 35 year-old man died after being stabbed at the town fair. Two men, of Syrian and Iraqi origin, were arrested in connection with the killing.<\/p>\n

Legal Insurrection<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

The local newspaper Th\u00fcringer Allgemeine covered the clashes on Monday:<\/p>\n

The protests carried out by right- and left-wing demonstrators in the Chemnitz inner city on Monday evening left at least two people injured. The police didn\u2019t rule out that the number [of causalities] could rise. Fireworks and objects were reportedly hurled. The eyewitnesses talk about an aggressive atmosphere.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a spontaneous demonstration after the death of a 25 year-old German at the town fair turned against immigrants. Bottles and stones were thrown at the police. Video footage in internet show how migrants were attacked and \u201cdown right hunted.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Germany has often seen demonstrations against the government\u2019s open borders policy, but the level of violence and anger witnessed in Chemnitz took both the police and politicians by surprise.<\/p>\n

Police initially underestimated the public outrage over the killing and was unprepared to handle the thousands of demonstrators who in their thousands chanted \u201cMerkel must go\u201d and \u201cClose the borders\u201d. \u201cWe were shocked by the size of the crowds that passed us by,\u201d Robert Gruner, spokesman for the city of Chemnitz told reporters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

True to form, Chancellor Merkel condemned the \u201cright-wing violence,\u201d but did not mention the brutal murder that led to the rioting. Seems the term “cause and effect” is meaningless, at least for Chancellor Merkel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
