Vandalism and Arson by Left-wing Extremists

Among the interns, we have a chat group. Word was going around that there was a large police presence at the end of the street. Curious as to what was going on, I grabbed my camera and my roommate and I headed out.

We indeed found a large police presence, a couple cars, a van, a bus, and a bunch of officers standing around talking.

 


We began with our investigation and the first thing we saw were these tires:



Burned out, but no damage to the ground our cars near them, which was when I noticed that the street was very wet. The tires had been moved there after they were extinguished. We hadn't missed the fire department by much.

There were also many fliers distributed, lying in the street soaking wet.



After researching some of the information on the flier, I found that this is not the first time such an act of arson has happened here. There supposedly lives a neo-Nazi on the street which intersects ours. He is the front-man of a neo-Nazi band and has already been arrested for distributing their CD's. His car was set on fire in February.

After thinking we had seen at all we were on our way home when we noticed that the hostel had also been vandalized with some sort of tar-based paint and one of the windows had been broken:

        

The next day, we found a news article which reflected our theories and gave us an additional piece of information. That that chain of hostels had let the right-wing populist party "Alternative for Germany" have meetings at one of their hostels, and it could have possibly been vandalized for that reason.

Interesting stuff.
