Bravo for life’s little ironies.
“Germany: Journalist for pro-migrant Spiegel Magazine complains on X after being punched in the face by 13-year-old Syrian,” by John Cody, Remix News, July 23, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A journalist for Germany’s left-leaning Spiegel Magazine, known for its pro-migration views and efforts against the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, stepped in to protect two elderly women near the North Sea coast, which resulted in a 13-year-old Syrian punching him in the face. Now, he is complaining about a lack of consequences for the youth.
Christian Neef is a well-known journalist for the outlet and has been working for many years for Spiegel. However, Neef himself said he “defended two elderly” women in Husum in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, which resulted in consequences.
“Today, I had my own experience with a so-called refugee. In Husum, a Syrian punched me in the face. I had defended two elderly women who asked him to get off the back of a public bench on which they were sitting and not to continue to spit at their feet. The interesting thing: The police told me that it was a 13-year-old Syrian who was well-known in the city and who had been caught over 50 times for theft and violent crimes since the beginning of 2024 alone. Sanctions available: none.”
The post led to widespread mockery on X as a case of a liberal journalist suddenly confronting what tens of thousands experience every year, with violence, sexual assault, and robberies skyrocketing in Germany due to mass immigration.
One X user wrote, “It could be that they learned more in this moment than in their 26 years at Spiegel. If they’re lucky.”
Another wrote, “Individual case, as always,” with the user referring to the left-liberal tendency to describe the many cases of individual crimes involving migrants as “individual” cases that do not represent migrants as a whole. For many critics of this term, the “individual” cases accumulate into hundreds of thousands of crimes that have affected millions of Germans.
Ex-AfD politician Tatjana Festerling wrote, “Oh well! The Big Thinking people in the Refugees Welcome whining editorial offices need their own ‘experiences’ before they realize that low-trust cultures can never be integrated into high-trust societies. When I explained this in Pegida speeches in 2015, the reaction was ‘Racist!’”…

The trouble is that for every leftist who figures things out, there are massive numbers of young leftists coming of age every year who hew to the party line. So, nothing changes, except that maybe the numbers of the far right increase.

Another example of the old adage: “A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.”

I use mineral oil in a small spray bottle for nuisance creatures, it disorients and leaves a messy contact, and not harmful just annoying.

For many it takes getting fingers burned to realize the fire is hot.
Will he think about this and use it, or will he put it down to ‘it won’t happen again.’?
At least, he did try to help the elderly ladies. That’s a plus in his favor.

As Heavy weight boxer Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face. That young criminal just converted a progressive idiot to reevaluate his” values “.As long as my gate community is safe ,as long as I have paid armed body guards ,as long as my children go tp special private schools ,as long as I and my love ones are not threated by the savages who threaten the middle and lower class citizens of my country I am good with ending millions of Moslem “refugees” .

Christian Neef stated in the feature article:
“Today, I had my own experience with a so-called refugee.”
So-called???
Is Neef actually LEARNING???
WPM says
No next time he is on the street he will have his body guards protecting his progressive ass from 13 year old “refugees”!

Special respect for that 13 year old Syrian “youth”. Icing on the cake – he’s a minor, so cannot be subjected to any consequence, and belongs to a community that would glorify, as opposed to admonishing his behavior
I wonder whether this journalist will continue to work for der Spiegel, or become the new Lara Logan?

Must have been a pretty tall 13 year old.
I have noticed that muslim ”men” like to attack old and young women as they are cowards and this is clearly evident when we witness their actions last Oct 7th and how they raped as they think that is their right to do so.
What happened AFTER the wee boy punched this Far Left prick in the face is what I would like to know, did he punch him back or did he suggest the wee bastard is under stress as he is a so called refugee.

I think his real age would have been discovered while investigating him
