Back in the summer of 2021 I reported on the catastrophic floods that hit large areas of Germany. When they appealed for help for the puir wee bairns who were victims of the floods, the authorities ostentatiously featured culture-enrichers in their iconography to tug on the heart-strings of donors — as if ordinary blond blue-eyed Germans were unworthy of sympathy.

Well, that was then. Now it turns out that the criminals who exploited the opportunity of the floods for some well-timed looting were predominantly “persons with a migration background”. How shocking! Who would have guessed??

Flood on the Ahr

Flood looters: Almost no suspects had German passports

Over 180 people lost their lives in the Ahr flood in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. Entire regions were devastated. Thereafter, muggings and burglaries occurred throughout the region. Now it turns out that the majority of the suspects were foreigners. [What a surprise… NOT.]

The majority of the suspects arrested after the Ahr flood in 2021 for looting and robbery did not have a German passport. “The damage in relation to the flood disaster amounts to €1.8 million,” emphasized North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of Justice Benjamin Limbach (Greens) in his answer to a catalog of questions from the AfD, from which Focus quoted on Friday.

Of the 275 alleged perpetrators, 196 were foreigners — including 92 Romanians, 13 Turks, 12 Bulgarians and 8 Syrians. Two of those identified were also members of a Lebanese clan. In around 630 of the 1,057 cases, the perpetrators “exploited the emergency situation of the population”. In addition to private apartments, construction sites, banks and hotels were also cleared out. The thieves mostly targeted valuable jewelry and cars. [And the rest had German passports? But how many of those were ethnic Germans? I guess that question will never be answered. It’s already labeled TOP SECRET.]

Flood record: 800 cases dropped in addition to 48 judgments

670 residents were injured as a result of the burglaries and raids. However, only about half of the cases could be cleared. According to the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia, the 48 judgments that have been passed so far are offset by 800 cases that have been closed. In 45 cases, the deportation of the offenders was examined and then abandoned due to legal hurdles. The leader of the CDU parliamentary group in the Düsseldorf state parliament, Gregor Golland, was outraged by the numbers. “Anyone who acts like this should be severely punished and forfeit their right to hospitality.”

In the summer of 2021, floods in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate inundated dozens of places after heavy rainfall and caused property damage in the billions. 186 people fell victim to the floods. Shortly after the flood disaster, Junge Freiheit reported on cases of burglary and looting in the crisis area.

Afterword from the translator:

It wouldn’t surprise me if none of the looters was actually a ethnic German. Despite all the ideological retardation and degeneracy of today’s Germans, especially Antifa, such vile deeds are quite remote from the German and generally from the European mentality, if one disregards certain individuals who are more or less career criminals.

During the great storm surge in Hamburg in 1962, the then-Senator for the Interior, Helmut Schmidt, instructed the police to shoot looters without warning; but there were none. I wonder why? No, not really.
