Travellers cause havoc in Germany

    http://www.thejournal.ie/seven-arrests-after-crazy-irish-travellers-booze-and-beat-their-way-through-cologne-report-127044-Apr2011/
    SEVEN IRISH TRAVELLERS have appeared in court in the German city of Cologne – after hundreds “brawled and beat” their way through the city, according to local newspaper reports.
    The 400-or-so “Irish” Travellers – travelling with “luxury cars” and 160 caravans, mostly with British registration plates - descended on the city over Easter, camping out on the Messeparkplatz near the city centre.
    Local reports claim they set out on a major pub crawl that left police having to chase them through the town for days.
    German populist newspaper Bild said the carnage began with major brawling between the Travellers on the streets in the city-centre district of Deutz.
    At the same time, some of the “Tinker women” (in Bild’s words) began a major drinking session in the famed ‘Gaffel Haus’ brewery-pub – but abandoned dirty nappies on the tables instead of paying their bill.
    In the town’s Jameson pub, meanwhile, one Irishman reportedly openly snorted drugs – in full view of the rest of the pub’s patrons – while some of his companions destroyed two tables.
    Several of the Travellers were ultimately arrested after police stormed the Shamrock Irish pub to interrupt another brawl that had broken out between some of the Irish. Bystanders became involved in the physical altercations, the Express reported, though German police told TheJournal.ie that they had not yet ascertained whether any locals had been injured.
    A number of taxi drivers, meanwhile, had complained to police that Travellers had left their cabs without paying their fares.
    Not all the police reports had yet been received, the police spokesman added, because of the sheer volume of Travellers that had descended on the city.
    He added that some of the public order incidents had already been attributed to the Travellers, who were identified by what the spokesman called their “funny clothes”.
    Around 100 police officers, meanwhile, were involved in operations to “hunt” the Travellers out of the city, from where they travelled north to the neighbouring town of Leverkusen.
    Some of the Travellers remained in Cologne, however, after one of the travelling party died. German police this morning confirmed that the dead man, aged 37, had died of natural causes.
    Press reports said that the Travellers had asked for permission to bring the corpse with them, but had been refused the request, and that it was anticipated that the man would be buried in the city.
    The Travellers had been due to leave Leverkusen and travel elsewhere this morning, but the parking place they had used there – at the premises of pharmaceutical giant Bayer – had been abandoned by last night, the police spokesman added.

    Seems crazy, only a matter of time till this type of stuff starts happening here.

    The German authorities should lock this bunch up until they can learn some manners. Maybe in some kind of camp...

    Oh right, because something like this would never happen in 2012, and because it happened in 2011 now renders it meaningless. :rolleyes:

    Why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,231 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Why?

    Perhaps he's assuming that the Polizei will be coming over here and setting up camp in Rathkeale.

    This very story was done to death on this very forum last April.
    Have a search, have a read, look at the associated warnings and bannings arising from it

    Sicily is an autonomous area.
    The cruise ship was 300 meters from its coast..... and approx 2 miles from the Italian coastline.
    Whats your next wiggle?

    i remember something similar happened between two rival traveller families the Lynch family and Doran family in carlow back in the late 80's.... the Doran family ran the Lynch family out of carlow... but they were all fighting on tullow street outside a pub called the acorn at the time.

    The Doran family are still in carlow although they dont seem to cause much trouble anymore.

    It's them alright.

    Then they'll say, "Lave us alone".
