German far-right leader severely injured after being beaten in ‘assassination attempt’

AfD party chairman Frank Magnitz was left with a gaping head wound after being knocked unconscious by three attackers in Frankfurt.
He is believed to have been ambushed after leaving a New Year's party in Frankfurt's Goethe Square.

Gruesome images posited on the AfD Bremen Facebook page show the politician lying on a hospital bed with blood pouring from a large wound on his head.


The party has described the assault as a “politically-motivated attempted assassination".

Magnitz was beaten around the head with a piece of wood and was knocked out cold by the three men, the AfD said.
The above is all copy and paste.

This poor man will most likely die or be paralyzed for life.
Enough is enough.

 

The Sun has never been a realible source or maybe nobody working there has any foreign language skills whatsoever.
The attack didn't happen in Frankfurt, Magnitz was attacked in his hometown of Bremen. He's neither a leader nor a chairman of the AFD, but the spokesman of the AFD Bremen and an ordinary member of the Bundestag. It's really strange to see that even simple facts like that are not reported accurately. Two construction workers saw what happened, interfered and called an ambulance. He will probably have to stay in hospital for a week, he's not going to die or end up paralyzed. The attackers are most likely far-left radicals from what's called Linksautonome Szene in German. Violence like that has no place in political confrontations and disputes and members of every party have condemned the attack publicly.

 

It's very sad for this man, but good for the AfD. They can claim so the status of martyr and get sympathy like that. The far left is really dumb.

 

hmmm. well, that's embarrassing. I will try to find out more "reliable" sources.

 

The Bremen chairman of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Frank Magnitz, is battling for his life after sustaining a gaping wound to his head following an attack by three unknown assailants.
Magnitz was rushed to the hospital on Monday night after suffering a serious head injury following a “politically-motivated attempted assassination,” Bremen AfD said in a statement, posting a graphic image of the injured chairman.

There are dozens of websites reciting the exact same story.
As far as him not dying: I disagree. My son was sucker punched and hit his head on a light post. He almost died and they said he might be paralyzed. He had three craniotomies. Heads are meant to get beat with wooden posts.

 

rt.com? really??

 

suprised it took so long, first leftie trying to derail the thread without reading the OP properly
what a suprise when they are discussing far left violence beating a right wings party members in the hospital

the original link was the sun uk not rt

 

Dozens of websites (re)citing the same story tells us they very likely just copy-and-paste the same content, word by word. A factually false text published ten times is still false. No German source (I'm fluent in German) mentions "fighting for his life" or "dying" in any way, Magnitz himself is quoted that he'll have to stay in hospital until the end of the week.

Sorry to hear about that incident with your son and hits on the head can be serious indeed, but if we claim "he's dying" based on what happened to others that we know, it's pure speculation and that never makes any sense in my book. Btw, rt is as reliable as The Sun; not a good source. I don't agree with the AFD, but this is not acceptable in any way at all. Hope they'll find the guys soon.

 

Sure, Jake, somebody who isn't a slobbering, über-liberal socialist gets his head nearly split open and all you can do is "hate the messenger"? How typical of the radical Left. How 'cavalier'....

Take a good look, Jake, at what the radical Left does to people it HATES -- in this case, Frank Magnitz! How would you react, though, if one of your 'comrades' was attacked, taken nearly to death, and looked like THIS:

 

The RT commentary is not factual. Please look for factual news, aenigma.

 

Pick at nits, Jake... pick at nits. The picture I showed you IS FACTUAL! Or can you devise a way to try to 'dis' that, too...?

 

Is Reuters credible enough?
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...maker-unconscious-german-police-idUSKCN1P20WC

 

If it is honest to the facts.

 

Notice that any time someone who is not a socialist, scum-sucking pig is mentioned in the news, it's always as some kind of FAR-RIGHT this-or-that...? The "news" media never refer to anybody among those same, 'socialist, scum-sucking pigs' as being "FAR-LEFT"....

Well... the FAR-LEFT in Germany had damned well hope that Frank Magnitz recovers from this attack or he will be a martyr to the AfD! Does anybody else remember what happened in Germany after "Horst Wessel"...? There is a seething undercurrent of hatred brewing in Germany right now among the hyperliberal, idiot-fringe FAR-LEFT, and they're going to unleash a firestorm of retaliation against themselves if they aren't careful....

Hint: In 1930, FAR LEFT radicals in Germany assassinated Horst Wessel. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany.

. "Bring on the 'scum-sucking pigs'!" .

 

The far anything is really dumb, practically by definition.

 

Did these Linksautonome Szene buttholes commit the bombing of the AfD office as well? I saw in the Reuters article that suspects had been arrested in that case, but no details were offered.

Tagesschau makes no mention of them and does not speculate about who was behind this attack against Magnitz. https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/angriff-afd-103.html

 

Yeah, and for some reason all I could get from DW was "error" on my FireStick. It had played flawlessly before today, and everything else works, too, including Tagesschau -- although did you notice how they deliberately CROPPED the photograph of the damage to Magnitz' head?! Interesting. My gut feel is that the Merkel government is trying their best to keep a lid on this thing.

IF it turns out that some clot of FAR-LEFT gangsters tried to kill Frank Magnitz, wouldn't it be just awful if about seven or eight of them were found chopped to pieces in an alley in Bremen?! Oh, the horror....

 

I read about it in the EU news

https://www.euronews.com/2019/01/08...ith-severe-head-injuries-after-violent-attack

How do you know it was far left people who hammered him? That is somewhat jumping to conclusions. The Afd from what I hear has a lot of arguments among its own.... or it could be an Agent Provocateur. An attack is how Brazil is supposed to have got it's far right President.

 

We'll find out. The German Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) is very professional -- and so is the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV). They WILL find out who did this, I have no doubt. The only thing I wonder is whether or not the Merkel government will try to interfere with release of this information to the public.

"The leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Bremen was attacked by at least three masked men in the centre of the northern city on Monday.

The attackers knocked him unconscious with a piece of wood and kicked him in the head, AfD officials said."

Sure as hell doesn't sound like either a robbery, or like migrant Muslims out to have sex "fun" with Germany's women....

 

Authorities say the attack on Magnitz was poIitically motivated (Aufgrund der Funktion des Geschädigten sei von einer politischen Motivation der Tat auszugehen) and that means it's likely the attackers are from the radical far-left, which would make a lot of sense, but I for one don't want to speculate until more info is put out. You seem to have German language skills, hats off.
There is material from a surveillance video which, contrary to the article in the sun and some others, doesn't indicate that some kind of object was used in the attack.

Regarding the AFD office in Döbeln (a small city in Saxony), three suspects had been arrested but set free again yesterday. There's nothing to be found about their political background other than that they are from Döbeln and 29, 32 and 50 years old.

Btw, the Tagesschau didn't deliberately crop the pic of the damage to his head. The pics used are from the time before the attack.

 

Yes, the thing really happened and yes, probably it was people from the extreme left and violent environment who did that. And no, such acts are not OK, whether against right or left politicians.

B U T !!!

Conversely, such a party and its politicians, who publicly show understanding for the fact that right-wing perpetrators commit arson attacks on refugee shelters and generally fall into public silence with similar acts of violence against left-wing politicians, need not be surprised at such things, eh?

By the way ... a 20-year-old had hacked around 1,000 user accounts of politicians and other people on Facebook and Twitter in Germany ... he had shamelessly used the back door which is built into every user account by order of the US secret services ... which he disliked much and then published the content like chats etc. of them.
No even a single one of the hacked accounts was one of the far right AfD politicians!

So the hacker is certainly at least a politically right-wing sympathizer of the AfD party ... or is not that obvious to anyone?
And it is also interesting that the AfD falls silent about this incident as always ... but woe if a politically left-wing hacker does that with their accounts, eh?

Here the link to this case published in English speaking media:

Only idiots make martyrs of their enemies.

 

I think America is headed for partisan violence along these lines as we slowly become two nations at war with each other

 

I mangled this post. Oh well, not the first time. Won't be the last. Heads are not meant to get beaten.

 

Mandelus, who are these German extreme left violent environment you are speaking of. I do not know of such people in the UK. Please fill me in on them, their history of violence and the evidence that these people are behind this.
