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.

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.

next time we have to come over there and clean up your playpen maybe we'll just make the UK a territory, like Puerto Rico. by then you'll be brown enough to match too.
