Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.

Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.

Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

    And watch what is left of your country collapse. The refugees are NOT your friends.

    People get radicalized this way as they see leaders (like Merkel) sail their country into hell for free. Same happened with Hitler - the "peace" enforced after WW1 led to anger and his job was easy - promise a bit of hope, then only later unleash the full demon-possessed madness of the 3rd Reich. Germany is right on track for repeating this once again - in fact all of Europe should wake up to the "refugee" invasion. The backlash, when it comes, will be a mighty mess.

      The problem with Germany is they have too much peace and prosperity. Focus of quality of life, forget to make enough babies for the next war ... And then suddenly every little problem is magnified.

      If only they had the proper amount of highly divisive politics, poverty without safety net to fuel gang wars, fear-mongers industrially scaring for profit, and rush for the money to pin people against each other for gated safety, they'd sure rush to have as many weapons as they have people, and call themselves free and ready to repel invaders.
