- Daniel Halemba is the youngest person ever to have been elected to the Bavarian state assembly, but he was forced to miss the opening session and narrowly escaped not being able to attend at all. This is a very brief run-down of what happened, and includes an introduction to the strange and slightly disturbing world of the Burschenschaft.

Fun fact; The photo you showed of the stereotypical hollywood nazi with a scar in his face was a photo of a real nazi with a scar in his face (Otto Scorzeny).
Yeah, it was surprisingly difficult to find a good enough image of a pretend Nazi with a scar, so used a real one instead. But that just underlines the point that the stereotype has some basis in fact, as a lot of stereotypes do.
@rewboss I've known people who had a Schmiss (facial scar from these ritualised fencing matches) who were not Nazis at all. Not all the original Burschenschaften were that way inclined.
Ah yes, the most dangerous man in Europe
@@alicemilne1444 Yes, thats the thing about a stereotype; its not always the case that the stereotype is correct
@@SylviaRustyFae Yes, stereotypes arise out of ignorance.
One thing that a lot of people don't understand, especially from the US, and even a surprising amount of Germans, is that being remanded in custody before trial is quite uncommon in Germany and only allowed if there are good reasons for it. Like in this case, where the prosecutor argues that Halemba might intimidate witnesses. But by default you are released after the initial arrest and can await your trial in freedom.
Ever heard of the Polizeiaufgabengesetz? You can be imprisoned for anything and nothing without any lawsuit in some federal states like Bavaria.
@@vomm That is a different topic. And I agree that it is a disgrace.
that's how it should work in theory. There are a few cases of people being in custody for months for no good reason
There are two main reasons you can be held in custody for longer than a certain period of time: if there is a risk you might tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses; or if you are a flight risk. The basic idea is that wherever possible, you want to hold back on depriving people of their basic freedoms until after they have been found guilty by a court of law.
I forgot to mention in the video that there are conditions to Halemba's release: he must report weekly and in person to the police in Würzburg, and he is forbidden from entering the -- for want of a better translation -- frat house. Which is a pain for him, because that's where he was living, but if breaks those terms he could find himself in custody after all.
@rewboss The Bavarian „Polizeiaufgabengesetz“ would make a very interesting topic for you to report on. I myself am from Bavaria and I don‘t know enough about the real implications and problems. Your effort would be much appreciated!
My mother works at the Landtag and she said that the first session was quite funny.
Usually the youngest person of the assembly is Schriftführer, so they had to get the second youngest person to do that, due to Halemba‘s absence, which put even more of a spotlight on his absence.
Daran sieht man das kleinbürgerliche Niveau dieser anmaßenden Leute in den Landtagen. Erinnert an die Endzeit der DDR, als man sich für die politische Führung und sein Land nur noch geschämt hat.
1:34 Yep, can confirm, my grandparents, especially my grandfather, having emigrated from Russia and Kazakhstan back in the 90s, have a very strong opinion about that.
Do ya have an idea where this opinions come form? I'm genuinely curious.
I'm pretty sure they are originally German, right? Would be the usual opinion of re-immigrated folks in Germany according to my experience.
its pretty much just conservative views. @@informatikabos5481
@@NarratorLP My father's side stayed entirely German throughout the generations that have been in Russia, but my grandparents from his side were generally older and more chill with everything, at least never complain openly to everyone.
My mother's side is mostly Russian/Kazakh, and especially my grandfather has a lot of opinions about certain ethnicities and is VERY vocal about those. Both voted for AFD last time I heard.

I've heard rumours the Burschenschaft he was in also had SS Documents reprinted and displayed in their HQ. Very normal thing for an AfD member apparently.
I have a Burschenschaft near me that regularly invites the founder of the alt right "Die Identitären" Movement from Austria/Germany, so theres that. Those guys openly want Unis to only be available for Aryans, so, its not that uncommon to follow this rhetoric, yes.

@@sisuguillam5109 What do you mean? Should I just believe everything someone says on the internet just because they "heard rumors"?
My home town of around 16.000 had a large turkish community for decades now and my mother worked as Kindergarten teacher. As you said the immigrants attitude towards newly arriving immigrants has show quite often there. With Turkish parents actively complaining about immigrants from Russia and other former Soviet Republics during the 90s... "Because of them our kids don't learn German properly in school anymore because they don't speak a word of it". "They take up all the well priced apartments'"... "The men sit around and drink alcohol in daylight." Their teen daughters dress too revealingly and are a bad influence on our kids."
Now with immigrants from Somalia and Eritrea arriving in relevant quantities, all the previous groups (including many Syrian refugees from 2014/15, which of course in turn were comlained about a lot by the aforementioned group of former USSR immigrants - that since then make up the majority of our active local AfD Membership) are complaining about them... I wonder who will be next, so the current group gets someone to complain about 😀
Next there might be an other wave of Palestinian migrants. That would be fitting, because they believe it's a human right to live in a sithole country.
This is funny man! Haha! And sad :(

Knuckledusters, certain types of cudgels and flick knives are prohibited items according to the German weapons act. Possession is a felony.
Flick knives are apparently legal to own, but not to carry in public (unless you only have one hand). It's not primarily a weapon, it's a tool with legitimate uses that can be used as a weapon.
A knuckleduster, on the other hand, serves only one purpose: it is a weapon.
@@rewboss It depends on the type of flick knife. E.g. Philippine Balisong ("Butterfly") knives are banned.
Back in the 1980s they were the weapon of choice of teenage street gangs and often used in muggings.
Knives which open through gravity or a spring, and have a lock to keep them open, are banned as well (though you might be allowed to own one of the paratrooper's gravity knives if you are a skydiver. They have been designed to be opened with one hand only to allow an entangled skydiver to cut himself free).
@@jankrusat2150 The general rule of law is: if you have a rational and lawful reason to carry this kind of knives, meaning no other type could fulfil the same function, carrying is not illegal. You might have some explaining to to if the reason isn't _that_ obvious, though.
For example, my brother is left with a lame left hand after a work accident. Obviously, he just can't open knives with both hands.
Speaking of accidents, you can carry these knives while driving to cut the set belts in case of emergency. It's self-explanatory that in such cases you may not have both hands free.
And so on ...
@@jankrusat2150pretty sure that's been debunked. Butterfly knives and switch blades weren't used in any significance number of muggings, but they looked good on TV, so they were often used as props for muggers on television. From there some overzealous lawmakers actually did think they were this popular and they got banned. First in the USA and then as is so often the case in Germany, too (there's gotta be a reason why the mericans banned them, right? Best we follow!)
I don't see many people bemoaning the ban of switch blades, but a lot of people were making an art/sport with butterfly knife tricks and those had to switch to dummy blades. Which is fair enough I guess, but still makes it lose some of the excitement

Yes, quite baffling ... what Turkish immigrants in Germany think of Syrian (or Ukrainian) war refugees coming in ...
The problem is that a lot of Turkish immigrants to Germany that came as guest workers to Germany in the 50s and 60s were... Well, to put it extremely blunt, they were people Turkey did not want, especially the Turkey of the time. Archconservative, poorly educated, very religious... Or in other words fertile ground for right extremism. And we in Germany have done a poor job integrating, educating and socialising these people, as we have done a poor job integrating, educating and socialising a lot of Germans who were generationally a fertile ground for right extremism.
@@RoonMian ... and going even more off topic ( 😁), the absurdity - since this Halemba guy is Polish - when Poland opened its borders for Ukrainian war refugees last year which was the right thing to do when at same time Polish border police were beating up war refugees from Syria at the border, preventing them from entering ...
@@JblackSupportTeam Why is it absurdity to accept refugees from the neighbor country with almost the same culture and language and to not accept refugees from another side of the world with a completely different culture and language (and often with a very hostile religion views)? It is obvious that Ukrainians will integrate a lot better into Polish society and will cause a lot less troubles than Syrians.
Also, Belarus used refugees to revenge/pressure EU for banning Belarusian flights. If Poland easily accepted one batch, Belarus would have brought hundreds more.
@@yansakovich Because people in need are people in need. But I guess you got a problem when some people aren't the same skin colour as you, hm?
@@RoonMian why are you guessing if I clearly wrote with what I have a problem? With probability of successful integration due to vastly different language, culture and religion. It is nice to help people in need, but if there is a high probability of future problems, then it is smart to deny.
P.S. Ukrainians and Syrians have the same skin color, white.

@@DavdFTR The thing about Burschenschaften, heard of them but even though I study on a university I didnt had any contact with em and also didnt knew stuff about em.
@@Timm2003If you are simply studying and don't have much to do with university politics, you won't come into contact with it so quickly. It also depends a bit on which city and university you are studying in. Burschenschaften are more common at "old" universities. They are less common at universities of applied sciences and technical universities, precisely because these universities are not so old. And if the cities are rather small and characterised by the university, you also come into contact with "Burschis" more quickly. Then you can also see the villas with the flags hanging from them.
@@NicoD1990 thats true, i have 0 things to do with uni politics, im really just there visiting lectures and taking exams
@@Timm2003 That's an odd view of the reasons one attends a University! 😜🙄😂
Not supporting such associations but these "Burschenschaften" were founded back in the days when there was no united Germany and Nationalism had an entirely different meaning.
well that is true. The thing is just, HOW they are structured and managed today...
i've been to alot of student parties, including some burschenschaften... while most of them are right wing, i wouldnt describe them as "nazi".
BUUUUT they are a breeding ground of nationalsocialistic thoughts... and some of them are undisputedly that type of "thing"
funny enough, a friend of mine, from georgia (the country, not the state) was living in such a "nazi" brotherhood (nazi insignias everywhere, blood and honour written above the room entrances etc). apperantly they use foreign students to to acquit themselves of beeing to nationalistic and beeing consequently prohibitit by the universities.
Yeah, but ppl who wanna emulate nationalism in the modern day... overwhelmingly arent emulatin that nationalism
one of my teachers once made the quip that the Burschenschaften when founded were (relatively) modern and liberal - but then stayed where they were while the rest of society moved on.
@@Engy_Wuck Ahhh, like constitutional monarchists
Back up to 1848 they were considered to be leftwing, but after around 1850 they became extremely nationalistic in an ethnic way and monarchistic (supporting the Prussian king to become Kaiser).
Thank you. Good overview of what happened. Very balanced 👍🏻
While the Burschenschaften have had the German reunification in mind and encourage their members to be interested in political afairs all other types of fraternities pretend to be more or less political neutral, especially the Corps having the Weinheimer Convent or the Kösener Konvent as a nationwide umbrella. Aside from those there are christian fraternities (catholic and non-confessional) and even more special types as Sängerschaften and Turnerschaften. And yes, they all tend to have at least relatively conservative and sometimes far right members.
I think the short period of custody was intended to give the police forces enough time to secure pieces of evidence and footage which could otherwise easily and quickly deposed by the suspect. This is a legal proceeding and not happening so rarely. I think Bavaran parliament (Landtag) will lift his immunity quickly but not quietly which would have warned its suspicious member, there we have the reason for the police forces to take action just before the start of the new parliamentary period.
To be fair though, while right wing elements can still be found in Verbindungen, they try to push back against it for the most part.
Its really only the Burschenschaften that want a certain type of political view, and tend to be extreme radicals
One of my fellow students at the TU in Braunschweig was a member of a singing student fraternity. He always insisted that the fraternity was in no way political like some of the others... until one day he sung the Horst Wessel Lied in the university canteen. I must say, he had a tremendous voice that carried into all corners of the room. Needless to say, when he had finished there was dead silence. After someone finally explained to him why it's not advisable to sing this particular song in public, it might get him a heavy fine, he said that it was sung quite a lot at his fraternity and thought it harmless. So much for not being political.
@@MegaSteak757 They are much more interested in fighting the public perception of extreme right nationalism than to care about racist views.
I dunno why I'm getting recommended videos about German politics but this was a good video so I might as well subscribe.
Thank you. And if it's any consolation, most of my videos are not about politics. They're just about Germany.
Well done video.
As a member of a German student association based in Munich myself, some small additions:
Almost all of us have coulorfull straps and hats, you can't make a claim about Burschenschaft or not. Indeed, they tend to use combinations of black, red and gold, but that isn't exclusive in either direction.
Every Burschenschaft is political, usually conservativ, nationalist or classic liberal.
Corps are unpolitical per definition (thats why the premise of the new tv series " Fux" is bs). they also practise mensur, usually more than the Burschenschaften.
CV/KV are per definition catholic, so mensur is forbidden for religious reasons. When politicians, they tend to be CDU/CSU (eg. Andenauer, FJS or Merz to name the big ones), but there is no official line. Exceptions are people like Kretschmann (the greens).
" He is currently studying jurisprudence." I do hope Prudence has no problems with this.
It is certainly quite common for immigrants to try to be more local than locals. One of the main anti immigration populists in CZ is Okamura, who's ancestry you can guess by his surname. He even used to arugment against former prime minister "my mom is Czech but he's fully from Slovakia!".
but I wonder, what is the real percentage of that cases, as it might be so that they are just more noticable
"immigrants trying to be more local than the locals"… or late/adult converts to a religion trying to be more pious than the "normal" believers; no matter the religion, you can find that with both Christianity and Islam (and any other faith). Two main reasons (I think): one, you feel the need (and you're not completely wrong) to prove to the in-group (and thus, it hold not just for immigrants and religions) that you're truly one of them, and two, you have had to prove to someone to be "acceptable", unlike those born into the in-group.
I'm from Serbia and my aunt lives in German for 30 years. She's now complaining about how Germany entitles recent immigrants and how it isn't for Germans anymore
@sure, the pattern is the same. to me this is just insecurity and black-and-white perception of the world, which is common. In their minds it's not enough to be local, it's necessary to prove that you are definitely not "one of the others", preferably you hate them.
reality is of course more complex - you don't really need to hide your identity as long as you respect the local culture, way of life, and if you don't - well, what are you doing here at first place?
I, as an expat will never be local, and I don't try to mimic it. but I feel welcomed by the people around me.
And always the argument „Oh I can't be racist, I'm part of another ethnicity as well!“ 🙄😆

I have seen this story in the British press but thank you for fleshing it out.
I’m aware of innocent until proven guilty but he appears to be a wrong’un sadly.
Re migrants who have settled in the country being less tolerant of more recent immigrants; that certainly seems to be true when looking at the past two home secretaries in the uk, both of whom are daughters of immigrants.
I cannot express my contempt for Patel or Braverman enough. All they spout is so hard line, laden with scapegoat rhetoric.

It’s also true in America, but it be more correct to say of illegal immigration not other immigrants.
@@castlering You know, you make me think…the UK is a country of 2 classes-the estabIishment & the people. There is an intersection where well-meaning people & politically-driven people end up helping or as fellow-travelers to schemes that are painted as good or are associated w/ caring.
Recently, I was thinking how this goes deep into British society.
(1) Normans v. Saxon
(2) The nobles referred to 1688 as “The Revolution”.
(3) BoE 1694, The Fed 1913-look at “The WWl Conspiracy” in my “important” Iist for mentions of Lord Milner, Rhodes Round Table, Col. Edwd House & Sir Edwd Grey (CFR & Chatham House, respectively).
Masonry also is tied close to this as a managerial class (i.e. US, Commonwealth; Aus has the highest number of masons per cap).
“Under The Sign of The Scrpion” doc is a good example of this in the world.
It goes w/o saying that this system/insurgency is extant in all countries, and that Patel, Johnson, Starmer, Corbyn (look-up CIoward-Piven strategy), Cameron, Brown, Blair, etc. are estabIishmnt lackeys.
We can’t avoided Rulers v. Ruled, but we can work to make it as efficient, honest, & beneficial as possible.

The AfD is in a difficult spot with this one, because even while its policies are transparently far-right it puts a lot of effort into trying to maintain a "not fascist, just properly conservative" façade.

I'm in a German student union/ fraternity and I'm also a foreigner. Although I'm in a Corps, which is different to Burschenschaften in that we are political neutral on matters of faith, politics, and background, I'd just like to say that virtually all Verbindungen condemn such idiocy in the harshest possible terms. It is so unfortunate that so many good reputations are ruined by horrible acts, like the ones purported to have taken place in the Teutonenhaus.

5:47 Explanation about the start pistol. Start pistols are modified to become real pistols. More start pistols in Europe are modified to become real pistols, than is actually used as start pistols.
This was something that started, within Western Europe, with the spread of organised crime groups led by people of Eastern European origin, after the fall of the Warsaw Pact. The same crime groups also started the trend of using bombs and grenades instead of guns, with grenades and mines left from the wars in ex-Jugoslavia. Most of the Eastern European maffia in Europe, has connections with nazi and fascist groups, often sponsoring semi-legal political activity (e.g. as like how the Swedish party Sverigedemokraterna, now members of the Swedish National Assembly, and it's predecessor, received money frome an organised crime group, committing a string of robberies in France and West Germany during the 1980's and 90's).
Legislations and regulations have been created within EU and Western Europe to stop the sale of the kind of start pistols that is easily modifiable into real guns, but they are smuggled in from some Eastern European countries and Turkey, either already modified or unmodified. There have developed a huge industry in the countries, where easily modifiable start pistols is still legal, where start pistols that are specifically constructed to be easy to modify into real weapons, is made legally in legal factories, then sold to illegal work shops (within the same country), modified to become real guns, and thereafter smuggled to criminal organisations in those countries that doesn't allow these kinds of start pistols. Those modified start pistols are as effective as weapons, as pistols made to be used as weapons from the start. Usually criminals caught owning unmodified start pistols, feign ignorance of their use as real weapons, and claim that they didn't know they are illegal. As they are specifically used to be easy to modify, those guns stored unmodified, are modified immediately before a planned crime is committed, and is then discarded after the crime has been committed.
This certainly did not look good for the AfD.
2:54 the revolutions of 1848 for Germany was not to make a German Republic, but a United German Empire, with a constitutional monarchy, the crown was offered to the Prussian monarch, but he declined the "crown from the gutter"
Still interesting video, Love your content man
The demand for a unified constitutional monarchy was a compromise agreed on by the assembly of delegates in Frankfurt. However, many of the revolutionaries favoured a republican constitution, for example Robert Blum. This includes parts of the Urburschenschaft.
In public he declined the crown because it would be impossible to get the consent of all the German princes but in private he would never accept a crown "From the gutter disgraced by the stink of revolution"
The least surprising development ever. I'm sure his AfD buddies are a bit annoyed at his lack of subtlety, though.
Just a very minor correction: Black, red and gold was adopted as the German national flag in 1919, not 1918. The so called "proclamation of the republic" by Scheidemann in November 1918 was just a spontaneous speech that had no legal implications. (And the speech said nothing about the colors of the new flag.) Legally and officially, the German Republic began in August 1919 with the new constitution, which also described the new flag as black, red and gold.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." - Theodore Roosevelt (1907 speech)
I think that if one substituted the word “German” (or “French”) in place of the words “American” and “English”, that most people would have no objection to that statement.
We should prove the right wingers wrong by pairing LGBTQ+ and Muslims and Jews together.
Good luck. Especially with the war in Gaza.

Because a judge ruled that there is probable cause that he broke the law.

This scar in the face after the mensur is called 'Schmiss'.
One can use their vocabulary, or one can decide not to......
Black Red and Gold are not the “usual” colours of Burschenschaften, they are the most common ones but most have different ones. Also Teutonia Prag is not so radical that no other Burschenschaften want to have anything to do with them, they are member of the “Deutsche Burschenschaft” the biggest head organisation for Burschenschaften, where they do belong to the most radical ones, but it is not even possible to say they are the most radical there. So there is pretty much no one outside the Deutsche Burschenschaft who has wants anything to do with them, but the Deutsche Burschenschaft alone still consists of about 80 or so member Burschenschaften who all still have some kind of relation with Teutonia.
Wow
erm, was?
what a whirl-wind
Why are the police wearing those masks in the photo where they are carrying the boxes? Is this common in Germany? Are they compelled to show their faces if asked?
Officers who work undercover jobs, have to deal with organised crime etc. get to wear masks to protect their identity in public. They would be compelled to show their faces if they where policing the public, but they usually don't go on patrol. The vast majority of German cops works unmasked, of course. It's not different to other countries.
Rabble-rousing, mainly and using banned Nazi Symbols. It's pretty serious, germans don't joke about stuff like that and he knew it.

I have a strong distaste for right wing politics although I have no strong opinions about his guilt or innocence, I think he could be a neo nazi but I have a lot of disdain for the court of people in public with their uneducated opinions when they’re removed from the situation and have a complete lack of evidence, I like the unbiased way you covered this, peak entertainment, I do love the travel and history stuff but I really hope this German right wing politician shenanigans thing becomes a series
The guy had a copy of the so called "Zeugungsbefehl" by Heinrich Himmler, posted above his bed. It's an official order by Heinrich Himmler to all SS members to conceive as many children as possible to make new soldiers for the Reich.
The guy is 100% a Nazi and so is his party.
Anyone who attends a nazi party, party as in one with music, believes in nazi ideas. Many far right groups I'd say would agree with some nazi beliefs but there not nazis unlike this guy who was clearly caught at a party with swastika and neo nazi music
That same bias in court also applies to elections many people don't look into matters and will just vote for whoever gives the best speech/ is most convincing rather than there political beliefs or who would be best fit to run the country, not nearly enough people have enough interest in politics.

Burschenschaften are actually quite diverse.
They don't agree on much nowadays, since most believe their primary goal of German unification was achieved and everybody gets to pick a new purpose. There are several umbrella organizations for Burschenschaften which do not like each other and many 'freie Burschenschaften' who do not want to belong to any of them. Some former Burschenschaften have even dropped the name.
While it is true that Burschenschaften are usually rather conservative and sometimes right wing or even extremely right wing, that is not true for all of them. The extremists are just the once who make the news. More liberal Burschenschaften exist aswell.
On top of that the name Burschenschaft is also sometimes used for completely apolitical organization not associated with students or universities at all.
So 'Burschenschaft' does not automatically mean right wing extremists. But it makes sense to be careful and take a closer look before you engage with one.
I was attending Hamburg University in the late 60s. There were no only conservative or rightwing Burschenschaften to choose from if you were so inclined: one choice could've been a Burschenschaft by the name of "Alemania something-something" (if memory serves). It was also known as "AleMarxia ..." and was of course leftwing.
On the one hand, this seems much ado about not a hell of a lot; hard to see what charges he’s being held on. On the other, it’s comforting to see that European universities can have as many nut cases as those in the U.S.
... That moment when someone is from your hometown and you are like: "wait... what?" and then you realize you are that much of a shut in, that you won't know him if he weren't in the same class as you and that you actually escaped that hell hole a few years ago. And then he went to your hometown of choosing and you are like: "... Würzburg... what do you do to get all those completely diffrent types of people?"
Be careful mate, radicals from both the right and the left wing targets shut ins like you and me since we're vulnerable due to the fact that we don't really know much about anything. Just don't be radicalized, cheers!

You often see a lot of immigrants here in Australia believing that the "new immigrants" are totally different to those that came decades ago. The demographics of immigrants has changed a lot - a lot of Europeans moved here after the war, and then a lot of East Asians moved here after the Vietnam war and the 'hand-back' of Hong Kong (a lot of people fearing Chinese rule moved to other parts of the Commonwealth that were welcoming). Nowadays, a lot of people from Islamic nations and Africa are moving here, and older immigrants see them as being a completely different situation to what occurred decades ago. Really interesting to see that's happening in Germany too.
I thought the nazi officer with the scar on his face stereotype is because of Otto Skozeny? Is it really because of Burschenschaften?
Just a short note that uncontrolled immigration doesnt exist in germany. There is a way ro be an illegal immigrant which happens before you ask for asylum but is part of the normal right of asylum. Another thing might be talking about how the afd might be extremist in bavaria since they already are secured extremists in 2 states. Might explain the party more then just right wing populists.
He looks very Bavarian.
I'm not surprised that he's part of the AfD
1:35 german paradox. But if you look deeper, then the right wings in germany say, that half Poland belongs to Germany.
That's right. And some of the right wings in Poland want even more land from Germany plus much from Ukraine and Lithuania, because once it was Poland. At least that's what someone from Poland told me
What a setup
Yea there is a reason i should not become a politician
I hope he get convicted and rots in jail.
Immigrant being against further immigration makes total sense considering how the mass immigration from the middle east we see today is very different from the immigration that the immigrants that hold those views experienced
The problem in this special case is: Mr. Helmba hasn't experienced anything and is just a prime example of lucky and entitled prick.
He was three years old when his parents migrated to Germany for economics reasons and now he's beating on people who come here for the very same reason or even had to flee a war zone and/or political persecution - or at least far worse living conditions than Mr. Halembas parents had in Poland.
Mr. Halembas parents got the chance to prove that they could be contributing members of the German society, thereby granting their kid German citizenship. The same kid who don't wants to give other people the same chance his parents had, because ... Yes, why actually? That's remains to be clarified.
@@marcromain64Maybe it has to do with the slightly different "behaviour“ of the current immigrants?
@@streptokokke1003 Looking at the case at hand, blatant character flaws and criminal energy do not appear to be an exclusive characteristic of current immigrants.
Not to forget that people like Mr. Halemba have a problem with immigrants who immigrated to Germany long before them, but who, in his opinion, belong to the "wrong" ethnic group and/or have the "wrong" religion.
@@marcromain64 Unfortunately the crime statistics shows, that immigrants are considerably overrepresented. Nobody ever claimed, that criminal energy was "exclusive" to somebody. And I'm sorry to say: It's not just "immigrants". It's about immigrants from certain countries with a certain religion.
I think it is important to add that most Burschenschaften dont even allow women in their organization. This says a lot about their image of the world
If there was something like Burschenschaften that was all-female, would there be something wrong with that too?
I does say "Bursche" in the name though, and nobody is stopping anyone from forming female or co-ed organizations.
@@Sniperboy5551 I think there are Organisations called "Mädelschaft"... similar thoughts and stuff. Still, much more uncommon
@@Sniperboy5551Yes for the whole nationalist and antiimmigrant views and the rest.

This! I was once member of a student association, that made a regular newspaper - in a time, when layout wasn't computerized - and was still done by sniping and gluing. So we were constantly looking for places large enough to have tables to do a layout for a 20-page newspaper.
There was this Sängerschaft, that had a house close to uni - the rooms were gorgeous, but looked abandoned. The members seemed to have lost interest. When we looked at some papers lying around, we found out why. The Sängerschaft disintegrated when fighting over the question, whether to allow women into the association in order to counteract the dropping number of memberships.
Now I'm not into this kind of association, far from it. But that is a bit sad, because there is nothing wrong with singing, is it?
Halemba? Brother of Harambe?
04:31 In th U.S. they call it a "frat house". Because of the right-wing trend some fraternities split away and founded the Neue Deutsche Burschenschaft in 1996. The argument back then was also about the Pflicht-Mensur, accepting foreigners and Germans who hadn't served in the military. But there are lot of other fraternities in Germany and Europe who are quite different, in particular more open and more international.

Nazi sein galt als "cool". Genau so wie im Kreis zu stehen und sich nen Sumpf in die Mitte zu spucken. Urgh. Ich fand beises immer schon wiederlich.
Und dann gab es noch sehr fragwürdige Aktionen an den Schulen die nicht gerade zum Besseren beitrugen, z.B. als die NPD morgens vor der Schule CDs mit rechtsextremer Musik verteilt hat.
Und wenn genug Mitschüler*innen oder gar Familienmitglieder solche Gesinnung annehmen, kommen irgendwann noch viel mehr Mitläufer nur um keine Aussenseiter zu sein.

This is also a problem, to think when you are against uncontrolled immigration is the same as being against immigration in general. That is not the same. So, being an immigrant an being against uncontrolled immigration is not a contradiction.
However, you should be able to define exactly what made your own immigration back then a "controlled" one in contrast to the immigration of others.
When people like Mr. Halemba speak of unchecked migration, they mean masses of immigrants. But the thing is, those numbers are a logistical, but not al legal problem. Even masses of immigrants are made up of individuals, each of whom could similarly entitled to live in Germany like - for example - Mr. Halemba (or his parents).
To just assume an immigrant should not be here because he happens to arrive at the same time with a somewhat unpleasant number of others is what constitutes hypocrisy.
Immigrants being hostile towards immigration is this typical 'pick-me' phenomenon. I find it understandable in a way, but it is also a huge indictment of our society and culture and of the way we treated immigrants. It turns out, decades of experiencing constant xenophobia and a sense of not-belonging does something to people, obviously. It's really a reflex of the sorts 'Look, I am as xenophobic as you are, aren't we all a big happy family, now that we have a common enemy? Anyways, please don't hurt me.' It ranges from mere spite-signalling towards people really internalizing it as a way of constructing their own identities and belonging.
It's like the sociological equivalent to the Stockholm syndrome. Sociologist Zygmunt Bauman described the dialectic couple of inclusion by the means of exclusion very well. Or Niklas Luhmann with his system theory for that matter.
crime stories
ofcourse its bayern........
I assume immigrants who are against immigration are against it because of that nationality of a migrant. It might be the fact that they prefer immigrants who are more closely related to the nation they a migrating into.
or to themselves?
Nah, people will discriminate against immigrants of their own nationality. If you speak to republican latinos in the US they'll tell you how they need to close the border against other latinos. Theres no difference between them, one simply got into the US first and fell for the same racist BS about immigrants
What always surprises me when some far right shenanigans have been uncovered is how these "master race" types always make it so easy for prosecutors and police by blatantly leaving incriminating evidence lying around. I'm not the cleverest guy around, but I'd certainly always make sure I'm squeaky clean just in case the police turn up with a few questions.
Yes, given how much of the story is vague "apparently", and how the only incriminating evidence thus far is the accused name written next to a "zeeg hail" (self censor for YT), and a single complaint of "loud music and people shouting "zeeg hail", it seems quite unbelievable that it's true.
Of course, I wouldnt suggest that this is in anyway politically motivated; I'm sure that the government and media are trustwo... nah, I can't even bring myself to call them trustworthy even in sarcasm.
This may come out as controversial, but maybe - just maybe - there's at least some kind of fundamental correlation between being a right-winger and being incredibly stupid?

Elected in a democracy, but was unable to take office because of the police arrest.
Sounds like an incredible novel
He took office, he just couldn't attend the opening ceremony.
He wasn't arrested for being polish, Bursche, right-wing or anti-immigration. He is being investigated for being a potential nazi terrorist, and he was arrested because of witness tampering.
But in a novel, facts are ignored if they don't support the narrative.
I once read a book about an African-German who ended up in the far-right hooligan scene and later committed suicide in prison. It sounds incredible, but was surprisingly mundane.

I do find it amazing that immigrants are often more opposed to new immigrants than the indigenous population.
:Sits and thinks for a while: But I would have doubts about some Brits coming over to the Netherlands. Mainly because I know what and who (in general) I was escaping from. And I would not want those people or similar, following me. I wonder if that could be the same for other migrants?
Maybe i can explain it to you: in germany we have immigrants and immigrants, the first are immigrants from outside and the second are "spätaussiedler", word for word "late resettlements", people wich were born after the WWII on former german land. For example west parts of poland. I'm such a "spätaussiedler". It was a very lang way to proof the german bureaucracy that my ancestors were born on german ground before WWII. After the conviction of german state that my ancestors were german and getting the german citizenship, i could settle to germany only when i can proof that i have a job in germany. That was a kind of "validation" that i'm not a "parasite" for the german social system.
At the moment there are no rukes for immigrants from near east or africa, nobody verficate them, they have no documents, no passports and no ID cards, nobody have to proof nothing and they get money for free.
So, how fair is that? Why somebody like my who has german ancestors have bureaucracy and other obstacles to settle legal to germany and other people have to do nothing, it's enough when
It' enough if you come with a boat from africa and when you are black and you have the right for all things what other people must work for it

@@Ironschrubber und das ist das problem, das gesetz hat lücken
Now….This is EXACTLY what I spoke about in response to your other recent video on “freedom of speech” and “hated-speech”.
You, Rewboss, and others spoke of so called “freedom of speech” and the dangers of locking people whose hate-speech (and actions) impinge upon the basic and fundamental Human Rights of the individual …..i.e. to live their lives free from fear, hate and intimidation based upon their race, colour, religion, gender or orientation.
You claimed that punishing such people by, for example, locking them up runs the risk of turning them into martyrs. This may be the case and a risk. However, that risk is far outweighed by the risk of setting a moral standard within a society that accepts such reprehensible behaviour and hence allows it to spread and proliferate without sanction.
Secondly, others (falsely) seemed to believe or claim that blanket “freedom of speech” exists in Germany. This is, of course, total nonsense! The examples I previously cited were that one can’t walk up and down the street in Germany saying “Sieg Heil”; you cannot legally express opinions in favour of Adolf Hitler or Nazism; even Holocaust denial is punishable with prison (ask David Irving about this); you cannot even name your own child with ‘certain’ names. And, all quiet RIGHTLY SO!
Risky turning little scumbag shits like this guy into ‘martyrs’ by locking them up, is one thing. Allow them to spread their filth completely unchecked and for it to become an acceptable ‘norm’ within your society is a whole level of risk higher. This risks allowing racism and other forms of hate to insidiously infect and become normalised within your society.
My German Grandmother was born in 1920. So, her formative life and educational years were spent very much in the NS times. I am mixed-race and she would have never considered herself “a racist”. However, even she, throughout her life would still unwittingly make anti-semitic remarks. Not because she thought herself racist or that she hated Jews but simply because she (didn’t) think at all! To her it was a form of ‘normal’.
These people need to face the Law. And, when they have exhausted all other punishments, custodial sentences are appropriate and should be employed.
We'll have to wait to see how this plays out, but the AfD is really playing the "we're being persecuted by the Establishment" card as hard as it can: they know that a lot of people in Germany respond positively to that.
Of course, in the case of Halemba himself, we are talking of somebody who is actually in a position of being able to directly influence political decisions -- he's literally a member of a legislative assembly. If he is guilty of anti-constitutional activities, that's very clearly incompatible with his position, and so on balance it's probably riskier to keep him there than to secure a conviction and force him to give up his seat.
"Allow them to spread their filth completely unchecked"
Sure, by prohibiting them from spreading their beliefs in public you stop the spread of said beliefs. That's why nobody in Germany believes this shit anymore. Oh wait...
@rewboss The Right will always twist facts to suit their own warped agenda and play the 'victim' card.
Just last week here in the UK they are using the fact that a 68 year old pensioner got arrested whilst waving the Union Flag.
They've posted a video clip on social media of two Policemen arresting him and the (closet) racists here are all up in arms as to how this patriot is a victim and how this is an affront to British national spirit.
They omit the fact that what he was actually arrested for was for hurling racist abuse at people on the open street on Whitehall!
The fact that he was holding the Union Flag whilst doing so was nothing to do with it!
The fact that the Right choose to twist facts and pervert reality shouldn't be a reason for not upholding the Law...just in case that's what they'll do.
In this example, should the Law have turned a blind eye to his racist, abusive behaviour simply because he was holding the Union Flag and the prospect or the potential that the Right may gain mileage from falsifying facts?
Surely, of course not!

Lookin some of the wpns up:
'Switchblades (flick-knives), ejecting a blade to the side by force of a spring are illegal, if the blade exceeds a length of 85 millimeters. Below this margin, they can be legally owned but it is forbidden (criminal offence) to carry them in public areas.'
'Brass knuckles (knuckledusters) are illegal in, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Bosnia, Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, **Germany**, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.'
On cudgels and machetes, i cant find the specific laws tho it sounds like cudgels may be deemed an illegal self defense wpn, and machetes are probs fine to have at home; but legally wudnt be able to transport it without it bein in a locked box and makin sure no one transportin it has instant access to it (bcuz its very much not meant to be used for self defense)
Oh and on the pistol, that just comes down to whether or not he has a permit for that gun.
So at least two of the wpns are illegal to own period, and of the remainin three; each cud potentially be illegal except for the machete unless it left his house ever and wasnt properly transported. Btw, that law technically also applys to many a chef knife; so it DEF applies to a machete
@@Serenity_yt Yea, lookin it up i can find definitive proof knuckledusters and flickknives are illegal in Germany, and the others cud potentially be and are as you said; more worthy of legal note if they found any plans or rhetoric which wud suggest this person had intentions to use any of these wpns, or to have others use them
