A Hungarian journalist sacked for kicking and tripping migrants near the Serbian border has apologised and insisted she is not a "heartless, racist, child-kicking camerawoman".
Petra Laszlo said in a letter to the Magyar Nemzet newspaper (in Hungarian) that "something snapped" in her as migrants broke through a police cordon.
She said that she reacted out of panic and felt she had to "defend herself".
Prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the incident.
Ms Laszlo said: "I do not deserve the political witch-hunts against me, nor the smears or the death threats.
"I'm just a woman, and now an unemployed mother of small children, who made a bad decision in a situation of panic. I am truly sorry," she said.
The footage of Ms Laszlo kicking people and tripping them up, including a man carrying a small child, sparked outrage when it surfaced earlier this week.
In other words more of what has always driven mass migrations of people throughout history. Yeah it will be messy.There will be millions of people trying to move to better areas of the planet as time goes on, due to climate, lack of food and water, huge populations, disease, war etc.
It's going to get very messy.
Never been this many people before though. Also living in internet and 24 hours a day news coverage, global news instantly, everyone knows what's happening everywhere around the world pretty much. We could see whole countries or areas getting news of impending famine or weather change or similar and then all moving at the same time. It would have taken time in the past for any news to reach such vast amounts of people. Now we will have panic on a vast scale.In other words more of what has always driven mass migrations of people throughout history. Yeah it will be messy.
They'll go first, get a job and then families will follow.My bad. I wonder why it is more men then.
By then we will carpet bomb with Drones send in the robot soldiers to kill anybody left with the robot clean up squad after... Block out the news for a couple of weeks whilst we do it and travel to the new part of the planet on a big cruise ship (crudely based on wall-e).There will be millions of people trying to move to better areas of the planet as time goes on, due to climate, lack of food and water, huge populations, disease, war etc.

Ha, frighteningly, you might not be as far off the truth there..By then we will carpet bomb with Drones send in the robot soldiers to kill anybody left with the robot clean up squad after...

That's an odd reply to a question asking where are you from.I'm not based in the UK. Never been as well.
Why?
Well if they had some more lebensraum, they'd have plenty of places to put the refugees.Feckin eejits, the Germans. They should never have promised open entry to anyone that could make it to their border.
Turns out that Cameron's restrained position was best.
Given that no one in that article is stated to be an immigrant, and in fact that article doesn't in any way mention immigration, why exactly are you telling us this, again?
its a clear view ho well the integration is goingGiven that no one in that article is stated to be an immigrant, and in fact that article doesn't in any way mention immigration, why exactly are you telling us this, again?
Same with the video he posted above. It was probably shared by Britain First who mistook the matter for another example of aggressiv these ignorant selfish refugee parasites are.Given that no one in that article is stated to be an immigrant, and in fact that article doesn't in any way mention immigration, why exactly are you telling us this, again?
At least 34 dead as boat capsizes off Greek coast
September 14, 2015 Comments Offon At least 34 dead as boat capsizes off Greek coast
At least 34 people have drowned after a boat carrying scores of refugees capsized off Greece.
Greece’s coastguard said a stricken boat carrying at least 100 refugees sank off the island of Farmakonisi in the southern Aegean Sea on early Sunday.
It said 68 people were rescued and a further 29 managed to swim to a beach on the island.
Rescuers have pulled a total of 34 bodies from the sea. A dead child was among those found in the area during the rescue operation.
Europe is facing an unprecedented refugee crisis, which has escalated over the summer as refugees are coming directly to the continent instead of staying in camps in neighboring countries.
The International Organization for Migration said Friday that more than 430,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year, with 2,748 dying or going missing in packed and unseaworthy boats.
The continent is now divided over how to deal with the flood of people, mainly Syrians fleeing the four-year civil conflict in their homeland.
Because she realised it was a stupid idea and they had no capacity to handle these numbersI may be wrong, but didn't Merkel encourage the refugees to come over and insisted that Germany is ready and willing to accommodate something like 800,000 people?
Why are Germans closing the border?

Is there much mainstream opposition to this fiasco being voiced in Germany at the moment? It seems like the kind of gross incompetence that would lead to a politician's downfall in other places.The 800.000 were an estimation of people who were/are already coming anyway this year. Merkel announced that Germany would happily take in 500k a year and opened the boarder at the same time, which makes obviously no sense, because the number she announced was smaller than the estimation of refugees who´d come to Germany in 2015. If you want to take "only" 500k, you have to close the boarder at some point.
For non Germans it is also important to know, that refugees are distributed around each federal states and the states have to actually deal with the issue hands on. That makes it easier for Merkel to make nice promises, because she doesn´t have to deal with it directly. At least not with the problematic part like housing, security, health-care etc.pp. It is a mess, but knowing the German electorate, they´ll still vote for her.
German national guilt is a powerful weapon.Is there much mainstream opposition to this fiasco being voiced in Germany at the moment? It seems like the kind of gross incompetence that would lead to a politician's downfall in other places.
