seta-san Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Quote German Chancellor Angela Merkel made a major concession to Europe's populist movement this week when she admitted the existence of so-called “no-go zones” in Germany. Conservatives and populists have long warned of the existence of such zones as the partial consequence of mass Muslim migration from the Middle East and Africa, particularly after Merkel opened Germany’s borders in 2015 as a response to the Syrian refugee crisis. Such areas are said to be dogged by high-levels of crime and are described as "no-go zones" because outsiders, including police and other authorities, are unable to enter. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03/01/angela-merkel-admits-that-no-go-zones-exist-in-germany.html Anyone remember when people were calling Trump a conspiracy theorist for saying this just a few months ago?

Son_Of_Dad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well isn't that big of her! We've had similar issues in part of Australia where an ultra left wing government runs society in to the ground. Up until late December anyone who mentioned Sudanese youth gangs was labelled a right wing extremist. Suddenly it was on the radar with slight admissions they can't deal with the problem. seta-san and DConnell 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in >$12 billion in developments, including new skyscrapers and a big tech district, and there's a housing shortage downtown including high end housing. Major hotels coming back due to major entertainment and convention business. Crime is down (lots to go in the outskirts though), and the schools are starting to rebuild. Belle Isle, an island park larger than NYC's Central Park, is being massively refurbished and improved. Indy car racing on the islands perimeter road. And, the city budget has a $58m surplus.

wakjak Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 LOL. Basically fake news. Quote Merkel says Germany has 'no-go areas;' gov't won't say where Asked to name the areas, Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters Wednesday that "the chancellor's words speak for themselves." http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/merkel-germany-areas-govt-53416102 SecretAgentMan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It in fact supports it and only says that they won't say specifically where they are. Also, just because you find one article merely questioning something doesn't make it fake news.

farmeunit Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 A lot of places have "no-go zones". South Saint Louis, parts of Kansas City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was actually responding to the topic I might have added Baltimore or Chicago or...you know, things ain't all rosy here either. I won't pretend to know what's happening in Germany but seeing people get all hot blooded every time an immigrant does anything criminal as if locals NEVER do is eyeroll worthy.
