Refugee crisis: Hungary deploys teargas and water cannon at Serbia border

[UK2K]

The Hungarian police used teargas after hundreds of migrants broke through the razor wire border fence, AP reported.

The police stopped the crowd, who threw plastic water bottles at them. There were no reports of injuries. Several people were seen with tears in their eyes from the gas.

The crowd coming in from the Serbian border town of Horgos remained in front of the gate facing the police cordon. A Hungarian water cannon was parked facing them.

Earlier, an Hungarian court has found an Iraqi man guilty of “illegally crossing the border,” the first conviction based on a new law meant to stop the huge flow of migrants into Hungary.

Hungarian media reported the judge ordered the man expelled from Hungary and banned him from returning for one year. It was expected that he would be returned to Serbia, the country that many migrants have used on their way into Hungary.

The accused said he was unaware that illegal border crossing was a crime, but the judge rejected his argument, saying “ignorance of the law doesn’t excuse anybody.”

The judge said the 4-meter (13-foot) border fence surrounded by razor wire should have given him a clue. The defendant also must pay 19,050 Hungarian forints ($70) in court costs.

There's a judge I like.

Shit is getting out of hand in Europe. Prepare for an infestation.

Its crazy to watch that live feed of this going on on the other side of the world, from my nice comfy office desk.

Here's another good snippet...

When we arrived three volunteers told us that an Afghan refugee came to them asking them to look at a sandwich he was given by the Hungarian police. He wanted to know if was not pork. They confirmed it tasted like pork. The sandwiches were returned to the police, who were informed that the refugees were Muslim and therefore prohibited from eating pork.

They should feed them all pork. If you aren't willing to eat pork as opposed to starve, then that's on you.

Push them back. Fight, Europe, fight!

Let's not forget who's fault this is.

Barrach Obama distabilized the middle east with his idiotic policy.

He will go down as the president who is responsible for the downfall of Europe.

So did Bush with Sadaam. We seem to forget every few years that the middle east needs strong, oppressive regimes to bring order to these primitive people and their culture.

The removal of a U.S. presence was the mistake. Who cares if Saddam was ousted. The Middle East was quiet the last day Bush was in office. Since then....Jesus. Arab Spring, Qaddafi killed, ISIS, Iran Deal, Al-Assad, etc. Is there an Arab country not mired in a civil war?


Obama and his cronies literally thought that they were doing the world a favor by leaving that region alone.

U.S. has been "silently" preparing the stage for WW3 for years, RIP Europe.

To be fair, the Bush administration has blame for this too.

Whoever thought people in the ME could be civilized and join the 21st century is at fault.

[Nick Young]

To be fair, the Bush administration has blame for this too.

To be fair, the Middle East was an unstable region full of infighting and barbarity for the last 3,000 years, even before the advent of Islam.

bush taking down saddam was the single biggest factor as i see it. just a monumental fail.

the US later pulling out of iraq was what pretty much everyone in the states wanted. if anything, plenty of people blamed obama for not pulling out fast enough.

You can't put the blame on Bush for Libya.

The stupid ones.

Unfortunately, they scream the loudest. There was never any shortage of volunteers from any branch of service for deployments to Iraq, it was the American people that surrendered.

Easiest way to beat America, get the population to quit. The strategy has been repeated from Korea, to Vietnam, to the ME today. The American people are soft.

well, maintenance isn't sexy.

starting a war on the other hand...

Obama gave ISIS the ressources and money to fight Assad. This ****ing idiot.
