Jesus. I really hope it doesn't reach America.
Sorry it that sounds selfish, I feel for you guys, I just don't want my town burned and gang raped.

hi. it will. i empathize.
it's not selfish. it's the natural desire to not have an obvious trojan horse let in your door by the landlord.

I don't know about you, but I feel pretty damn safe here. A few heroes a couple hundred years ago made sure of that, at least for the time being.

LOL. If a democrat gets elected this year, then we're fucked. They all think that illegals should be given carte blanche.
Well. Except for Webb. But he's got no balls.

Thanks to the millions of guns and ammo stockpiled in civilians closets here you dont have much to worry about... this behaviour in my neck of the woods would last as long as it took to load some mags up ;)

Even if the violence isn't being sensationalized, and I fully believe it is due to the re-branding of refugees to 'migrants', I don't see it being as big of a problem in the US. Thanks to the second amendment, we don't rely on police for protection in our own homes as much as Europeans do.

genpop of people illegally entering europe: 30% syrian refugees, 65% middle eastern and african economic migrants, 5% isreali/us isis members

We all knew that Turkey was hosting millions of Syrians.
But this, if true, show that they're doing it because the refugees are political pawns.
[–] trollingisavaccine ago
Theyre doing it because the countries surrounding syria who are not turning them back somehow have all taken in 100,000's if not nigh on 2 million in turkeys case. Its Jordan, its Lebanon, its Turkey, its Iraq too i guess, but i didnt see numbers on them, i guess theyre not even counting given theyre probably not sitting at that border with clipboards, they'd need big guns instead to be near the syrian border right now.

Yes it is being done deliberately. But by Who? No one seems to be talking about who initiated this whole thing. And why does no one have a say in the matter?

Jews. If in doubt, its always jews.

My guess was that the whole mess was orchestrated in part by the Russian in retaliation for Europe sanctions. A pretty brilliant FU to said europeans if this is the case.
