I agree, OP. Having in mind some very questionable attitudes from Germany, I too wouldn't visit them anytime soon. Stuff might get explos'y.. Fingers crossed not to, though!

Antifa? If so they are not exclusively German.
Edit:
Just as some countries make free speech zones we should in Europe make free fight zones where political extremists can go to kill eachother without fear of legal ramifications but also without those fights entering statistics. It would solve things like this thread
Worrying that people are brushing this off as nothing when the likely scenario is that these statistics will go up year on year, until eventually its right on your own doorstep.
Getting a bit bored with the smileys in the titles tbh.
I can always see right away that's one of your threads.
people all over europe are getting angry, the politicians are hitting the poor with austerity and cuts in social services like care and health, while doing nothing to curb further immigration and even encouraging it. Immigration is fine to fill skill gaps but poor unskilled workers into countries where people are being asked to pay more tax for less services is a hard sell. In addition they see large businesses getting bailed out time and time again but care for disabled etc being slashed.
That's racist, the correct term would be "How many bombs has eg. Finland or Sweden dropped on any primitive savages?"
Remember, a Brown person can be fully cultured, while a white person can be a primitive savage, it's all about culture and religion.
We need to look into the issues with bad corrupt cultures, not blame it on their skin color.
It is not because an increase in right-wing extremism existed before this as well, however before that the incidents were a few and isolated. Since the refugee crisis they feel more secure to act in the open since most people openly or silently agree with them and condone their actions because "leftwing extremists do stuff as well" and "All violence is bad but you can't fault them! They got reasons. Blame politicians!". Which is non-sense. Right-wing and left-wing violence in Germany rarely shared an intrinsic relationship, they can exist side by side by with only ever clashing openly during public demonstrations and when "accidentally" stumbling over each other.
On their own each group's violence potential is different, right-wingers usually attack migrant homes, migrants, politicians and people of different look/origin than them. Left-wingers would target symbols of capitalism and establishment, offices of politicians, police forces and anything that looks right-wing. Historically militant right-wing extremism is far older than left-wing extremism and goes back to the times of the Weimar Republic. Left-wing extremism was strongest during the '60s-'70s.
However ever since we have ideological extremism there have also been different generations, this new generation of extremists has nothing to do with old ideals, it's all about causing maximum damage while adhering to some ancillary ideology which helps their cause even more so when spurred by fiery rhetoric from established politicians.
Overall people who've never seen extremists from either side in action can't really picture how ideological extremism looks like in reality and media are bad transmitters of information about that. You see these words and they mean nothing. I've seen both a lot over the last 25 years - living in the East and all that gave me that 'luxurious opportunity' more than once - on 1 vs 1 basis they are equally threatening, in general when not aimed at attacking each other, their targets differ. There is also no clear-cut "<insert side here>-wing it started first!" because there is a) never a verifiable proof for that and b) it's just a poor kindergarten-level excuse to be violent.

Going to Germany on saturday, still an awesome place
The third sentence in your quote says otherwise. And it's even highlighted.
Anyway, if you know anything about Germany then you should know that the Antifa and other left wing nutjobs outnumber the right wing nutjobs multiple times. On the last antifa protest they managed to set 13 cars on fire because they belonged to right wing voters.
And sill you make a post with this title. I would spit on you if i could.
Yeah, because investigators in germany are morons and don´t know what they´re doing.

Here, you can scroll down to the chart, showing the increase in right motivated, left motivated, other and foreign political motivated crimes. The 40% increase is about right extreme acts of violence.
So there are more than double the amount of right wing motivated crimes than there are left wing motivated crimes and right wing motivated acts of violence increased by 40%.
Remember all the left-wing violence in Germany in the 70's, 80's and 90's?
Guess the pendulum really swings both ways, continually.
