Finnish protesters attack refugees

[schumi]

Helsinki - Demonstrators threw stones and launched fireworks at a bus full of asylum seekers arriving at a reception centre in Lahti in southern Finland, late on Thursday, Finnish media reported on Friday.

Between 30 and 40 demonstrators, one in a white robe like those worn by the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan in the United States, waved the Finnish flag and shouted abuse at the bus.

Some demonstrators also hurled stones and let off fireworks at the vehicle carrying 40 asylum seekers, including several young children, Finnish television YLE said.

Meanwhile, a petrol bomb was thrown at another reception centre in Kouvola, also in southern Finland, police said.

No one was known to be hurt in the incidents.

“The Finnish government strongly condemns last night's racist protests against asylum seekers who had entered the country,” the government said in a statement.

“Violence or the threat of violence is always to be condemned.”

Prime Minister Juha Sipila this month offered to take in refugees at his home, a move that attracted international attention but also criticism in Finland.

The Europeans do not want these immigrants. However they be damned because every single thing is being done by their leaders to ensure they will get them.

Fortunately this kind of thing will be banned when they are finally living under Sharia Law.

Some extremists don't want them. Don't confuse the vocal minority with the majority

The majority don't want them. Yet they insist on telling us this narrative about a few "extemists". Such a blatant twisting of the truth and it reeks of agenda.

That took longer than I thought.

Yeah that is why right wing parties are making huge gains all over Western Europe.

Yup. Honestly Western countries didn't become the powers they are by being easily duped. Some gross underestimation is taking place.

They should have thrown Nokia 3310s at them, that would have done more damage than any amount of bricks.

If it was the majority then those parties would have won outright majorities. They didn't...

No party wins over 50% in Western Europe these days...in case you haven't noticed.
