Letter from Munich – the Joseph Affair \u2013 353<\/strong><\/p>\n

EINE DEUTSCHE FASSUNG STEHT WEITER UNTEN. (German translation below \u2013 German language character set required for correct display.)<\/p>\n

Dusseldorf, 15 February 2008<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Graf, dear friends,<\/p>\n

First Report – Steffen Judzikowski, Wolfgang Kramer, Joe Sperling, \u201eMuegeln unter Verdacht \u2013 Deutsche jagen Auslaender,\u201c ZDF, Frontal 21, Broadcast of 21 August 2007.<\/p>\n

PARTS 4, 5, and 6:<\/p>\n

(Note: The relevance of this article lies in the fact that what happens in a town like Muegeln can also happen in Saxony, in Sebnitz. It can have happened, at the time of Joseph\u2019s death.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAn attack was also launched against the back of the building where the pizza restaurant is. This building is almost one minute away from the tent where the fight started, and to reach it, the attackers had to break through a gate. They must have had not only a knowledge of the street layout but also a firm intent to do harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat really happened that night in the tent where the fight began, a fight that ended with fourteen people injured? We met with a young man who claimed that the dispute had started with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Man: It was all the fault of the ones from India. They started it.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalist: How?<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Man: We were just here in the tent, dancing. Then those guys came along and started shoving us and things like that. So I stood up, and they started hitting me and stuff. I got hit with somebody\u2019s fist three times, and I took out some pepper spray and sprayed their eyes. Then things really got going.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalist: Why did you have pepper spray with you?<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung man: Because I knew something would happen. Just for self-defense. The others, the Nazis, are the ones who went on with it. I kept out.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalist: There were Nazis here?<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung man: Yeah.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalist: You knew that Nazis were here?<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung man: Yeah, you recognize them.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalist: How?<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung man: Yeah, well, everybody knows them!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sehr geehrter Herr Graf, sehr geehrte Freunde,<\/p>\n

:Erster Bericht – Steffen Judzikowski, Wolfgang Kramer, Joe Sperling, \u201eM\u00fcgeln unter Verdacht \u2013 Deutsche jagen Ausl\u00e4nder,\u201c ZDF, Frontal 21, Sendung vom 21. August 2007.<\/p>\n

TEILE 4, 5 und 6:<\/p>\n

(Bemerkung: Die Relevanz dieses Artikels liegt darin, dass das, was in Berlin passiert, kann auch in Sachsen, in Sebnitz, passieren. Es kann passiert sein, zur Zeit des Todes Josephs.)<\/p>\n

\u201eDie Verfolger griffen auch von der Geb\u00e4uder\u00fcckseite an \u2013 fast eine Minute Weg, dazwischen ein Tor, das aufgebrochen werden musste \u2013 das setzt Ortskenntnis und feste Absicht voraus. <\/p>\n

Was ist wirklich passiert in der Nacht, als der Streit im Festzelt begann, und mit insgesamt 14 Verletzten im Tumult endete? Wir treffen einen Jugendlichen, der behauptet, mit ihm habe die Auseinandersetzung begonnen.<\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Die Inder waren doch selber dran schuld. Die haben doch angefangen. <\/p>\n

O-Ton Frontal21: Wieso? <\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Na ja, wir waren hier im Festzelt, waren wir tanzen. Na, dann kamen sie an uns zu schubsen und so was. Na ja, dann stand ich drau\u00dfen, dann haben sie mich angefangen zu schlagen und so. Dann habe ich drei, vier Faustschl\u00e4ge abgekriegt. Na, dann habe ich\u2019s Pfefferspray rausgeholt und denen in die Augen gespr\u00fcht und dann ging\u2019s schon los.<\/p>\n

O-Ton Frontal21: Warum hatten Sie Pfefferspray? <\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Weil ich wusste, dass was losgeht. Als Notwehr. Die Anderen, die Nazis haben dann weitergemacht, ich hab mich dann rausgehalten. <\/p>\n

O-Ton Frontal21: Es waren Nazis hier? <\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Ja. <\/p>\n

O-Ton Frontal21: Sie wussten, dass hier Nazis sind? <\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Sieht man eigentlich. <\/p>\n

O-Ton Frontal21: Woran? <\/p>\n

O-Ton Jugendlicher: Na ja, die sind schon bekannt! \u201c<\/p>\n
