VIDEOS: German anti-fascists attacked and nearly killed a man in the street in Budapest – UPDATE

A group of eight foreigners attacked a Hungarian man, hit him on the head with vipers, kicked him in his boots and then sprayed him with pepper spray.

The gang didn’t want money, nor did they plan to rob the tobacconist. The only ‘mistake’ the 40-year-old man committed was that he was wearing military-style clothing that day. It is clear from his assailants’ movements and the tools they used to beat him up that they would not have minded if he had died.

For the time being, the Budapest Police Headquarters only suspect the detained youths, who, in addition to the attack in Gazdagrét, also hunted their victims, who they perceived as right-wing, Nazi, in other parts of Budapest, of committing a crime of violence against a member of the community or preparing to commit such a crime.

The hunt was based on the fact that Hungarian, German, Austrian, Czech and Slovak far-right groups had organised a commemorative hike on the morning of 11 February to mark the 78th anniversary of the outbreak. On this day in 1945, thousands of Hungarian and German soldiers broke out of Buda Castle, attending to break through the siege ring of the Soviet army. With tens of thousands dead, only a few hundred soldiers managed to make it through, a fact that has been commemorated by nationalist groups every year since the fall of communism.

The demonstration and the commemoration were banned for some time, but the police, as this year, used their force to ensure safety at the controversial event.

This sort of behavior must be put down immediately, with the strictest measures, or it will continue and become more frequent. In the USA they allow it, and parts of our government encourages it.

“Antifas” cowardly beating random people in the street, based on their clothes. Leftists showing their true side, violence, this time fisical, not only verbal.
Hypocrites, terrorists and criminals.
They must be banned, because they pose a threat.
They defend ans authoritarian regime, despite the fact they alledgely clame to be “antifacist”, but they act in the worst level of brutality, typical leftist’s lie.

This is why Americans need to keep their guns. An unarmed society is ripe for these terrorist organizations to attack. Fascist literally means ‘to grab power through violence,’ which describes Antifa and BLM perfectly. They are the true terrorist groups threatening democracy in the west. Look at what Antifa did in Syria by converting peaceful protests into violence against soldiers which eventually became a civil war, death of millions and the displacement of tens of millions, along with the a permanent demographic replacement of European people.
