EU Immigration Crisis Megathread

[Liep]

I see a handful out of hundreds attacking the barricades.

And you don't think that is enough for Grallon to justify calling them all barbarians?

[Tamas]

That is the case, around 100-150 (right now probably less) being agressive out of about a thousand camped nearby.

Meanwhile it degenerated into a lull with Desperate Youth taunting the water cannon so their pals can throw stones at the police, while the Police is happy to play.

Might be getting ready for round two, though.

[Tamas]

Some migrants are now throwing pieces of concrete gathered from signposts and the like.

The Serbian riot police have gathered on the other side of things, but haven't done anything yet.

This could get interesting, in a bad way.

Merkel should never have raised their expectations with her "we welcome you all" bs. The whole business needs proper regulation and adherence to the rule of law, otherwise a tragedy will be inevitable.

It looks to me that the tragedy is in progress.

At last, something we can all agree on since it has been said from the very beginning.

RT has a life feed, seems fairly calm presently: something is burning, Arab teenagers are hurling stuff at Hungarian police from a nearby rooftop, etc:

[Tamas]

The thing is of course that this a proper border crossing. So the rioters, while being outnumbered by the Hungarian police, can't be stopped: they are in Serbia, the Hungarian riot police is in Hungary.
And the Serbian police is content with watching.

Looks like there are more reporters than there are refugees.

Merkel has gotten quite some flak for that from people within her own party in the last few days, especially from within the bavarian CSU (which is quite xenophobic even at the best of times).

That hardly looks like a riot... also, gg Tamas using RT as a news source. I see Hungary has gone full Putin.

Slovenia is instituting controls on it's border with Hungary, effective immiediately.

Serbiaball going Serb on the kebabs would not be pretty.
