Hallo all,

Hatte vor ca. einer Stunde ein Skype Gespräch mit Nadee..Siri konnte gestern wegen der Ausgangssperre nicht mehr nach Hause....er hat im Auto das ER zum lackieren in Darga Town in der Garage hatte geschlafen..
Mehr oder weniger....diese Garage gehört auch einem Muslim...dort wo ER das Occasion Auto im Mai kaufte wurde alles was diesem Besitzer gehöre angezündet
Malikas,Lulu und auch der Juwelier Richtung Susantha wurden alle angezündet.

Mehre andere Geschäfte in Aluthgama auch Wohnhäuser alles IST kaputt....

Traurige Grüsse

Heute schrieb mir Nadee das dort wo sie wohnen, Polizisten stationiert sind. Weil in der Nachbarschaft auch Muslime wohnen.

Das ist Wahnsinn. Ich hoffe diese Sch.. hört bald wieder auf.
Ich habe sowas mal erlebt im Kosovo, als die Kosovaren die Häuser der Serben angezündet haben. Man hat dann sogar die Straßen mit Autos versperrt um die Löscharbeiten zu behindern. Wir haben damals als deutsches KFOR-Kontingent als Gegenwehr fast immer einen Räumpanzer als Vorausfahrzeug für den Löschtrupp fahren lassen. Das ging dann so ein paar Tage, bis Ihnen die alten Autos ausgingen und ihre neuen wollten Sie nicht ruinieren lassen. War damals auch schlimm.
Leider bekommen immer Diejenigen alles ab, welche selber am wenigsten mit allem zu tun haben. Sollen Sich doch die ganzen Fanatiker geneseitig bekriegen, aber bitte dort wo kein anderer Schaden erleidet und auch solange bis alle irren Fanatiker ausgerottet sind, dann hat die Welt wenigstens wieder Ihre Ruhe.
