Looting And Chaos Erupt In Germany As Europe Slides Deeper Into Crisis
Europe appears to have been thrown into an accelerated timeline of crises colliding at once, whether far-left social unrest in France, which has spread to several other countries, the unfolding debt crisis in France, or the political crisis in Poland that erupted in the last 24 hours. The momentum is troubling and concerning.
Beyond the political crisis in Poland and the US warning earlier today of a potential “mass casualty” incident in Moscow, another crisis appears to be unfolding in Germany on Halloween night: looting and chaos.
“Violent riots” continue in Frankfurt according to the police, with petrol bombs thrown at emergency services and reports of shops looted including a gun store. https://t.co/GLYwq5i1wl
