Extremely Biased Article

Firstly, it does not indicate what TYPE of left-wing activist they were. Being from Berlin, I doubt they were shilling for Killary's insane Corporate SJW Dems. It would be worth knowing if they were the old-left types which have been completely removed from the media in North America. You know, the ones against war, for uncorrupt progressive socialism, and of course for protecting the environment.

" Of those arrested for politically-motivated offences, 84 per cent were men "

This MIGHT mean they were more active or the right-wing activists were not arrested for whatever reasons(s).

It does not mention how many right-wing activists live with their parents, are unemployed, etc.

" More than half of the arrests were made in the Berlin districts of Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Mitte, mostly during demonstrations. "

If the protests were organized by left-wing activists - then it stands to reason that's who you'd catch there. It doesn't say anything about right-wing demonstrations.

" The figures published in the Berlin newspaper said of the offences committed against a person, in four out of five cases the victims were police officers. "

It doesn't say what those police were up to (ie. asking for retaliation), or how many activists they hurt.

" In 15 per cent of these cases, the victims were right wing activists. "

It doesn't say what the right-wing activists were up to, or how many left-wing activists they hurt.

Granted 92% seems like an awfully high unemployment rate - so perhaps the system that doesn't provide employment opportunities for them leaves them no choice but to take action.

Lastly, maybe the left-wing activists have more than money on their mind and/or have the time and motivation to research what is the best party worth fighting for, rather than simply subscribing to a political ideology without being informed.

Germany is packed with "surplus" men streaming in from the Third World in search of a better life, so it's not surprising there aren't enough apartments for the antifa to move into their own digs.

I'm surprised as many as 1/3 of them have jobs. I bet that number drops when you don't count "paid to protest"

Of the employed ones, I wonder how many have protesting as their job?
