Street shooting suspects still at large as public safety declines in Germany
Four people were injured during a showdown between immigrants and a biker gang. Police have at least 15 suspects, all of whom have yet to be apprehended.
A dispute between a gang of bikers and a gang of migrants culminated in a street shootout in the centre of Duisburg, Germany. At least 19 shots were fired during the fight, which left several people wounded. A passer-by recorded the events on video and shared it on social media.

Authorities have at least 15 suspects in the case. „The perpetrators cannot feel safe. We will act decisively in connection with any crime and use every tool made available by the rule of law,” Duisburg Chief Public Prosecutor Christina Wehner said. It turned out, however, that every suspect has remained at large since the shootout. Stephan Brandner, deputy spokesman for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party said that organised crime dominated by immigrant families may take advantage of the difficult economic situation of the country. He added that
„the Wild West showed its brutal nature again last night when some one hundred men from clan militias turned against one another in a shootout in Duisburg. Shots were fired and at least four clan members were seriously injured. All the police and the civil defence was able to do was clean up and restore the neighbourhood after the usual suspects. The criminals place the clan over the state and despise Germany. This is visible time and time again by shootings like the one in Duisburg,”
Brandner said. He criticised Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser for allowing such atrocities to take place today. Clan crime has been a problem for years in the Ruhr Area.
It is not just the gang wars that are handled poorly by the federal interior ministry. V4NA has also reported recently that left-wing extremists have wreaked havoc in several big cities. The most serious incident occurred in Erfurt, where left-wing extremists stormed a clothing store, pushed a woman to the floor, started banging her head with truncheons, and finally pepper-sprayed her in the face. The victim is a mother who has been working in the shop for five years. She said the attackers, wearing blue masks, were looking for jeans. Her last memory was that she showed them the pants, and the next thing she remembered was being hit with truncheons.
“I was lying on the ground, screaming for help. I thought the door was open and passers-by could hear me, but no one came,”
recalled the woman, who said that all along she was telling herself that she had to survive the attack because of her child.
Immer wieder prügeln die vermummten Täter auf die am Boden liegende Frau ein. Der Angriff, den die JF als Video dokumentiert, ist jedoch nur ein Teil einer konzertierten linksextremen Aktion. #Linksextremismus

Authorities suspect that the incident was part of a coordinated series of attacks, because victims reported similar assaults occurring in other cities almost simultaneously. Although police have launched an investigation into the case, no arrests have been made so far. It is an interesting coincidence that, before accepting her post at the helm of the interior ministry, Nancy Faeser had published a guest article in the magazine of the far-left Anti-Fascist League (VVN-BdA). All this is particularly intriguing, because
the interior minister, who, among other things, is in charge of protecting the Constitution, published a piece in a magazine run by a group that is considered a threat to the Constitution.
The Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the Federation of Anti-fascists as the largest left-wing extremist-influenced organisation in the country. Antifa often stages violent demonstrations and provokes street clashes. Its activists are often armed with gas sprays, knives and chains. Violence appears permissible in their eyes when they see a need for action against members of groups that promote an ideology that they deem unacceptable. The recent years saw a string of violent protests the world over, with Antifa activists attacking police, peaceful demonstrators or journalists.
