Germans Torch “Fat Cat” Luxury Cars

Berlin resident Renate Langanke woke up shortly after midnight to a loud explosion. When the pensioner peeked out her window, she saw flames billowing from two Mercedes-Benz brand cars parked across the street.

“Fire and smoke were everywhere, you could smell burned rubber, it was awful,” said Langanke, who lives in a sleepy area with tree-lined alleys in white-collar western Berlin. “I’ve always felt safe here, now I’m scared.”

Arsonists have set fire to 26 cars in the German capital in the last two days, mainly from Daimler AG (DAI)’s Mercedes, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) and Volkswagen AG (VOW)’s Audi, police said today. That brings the total number torched this year in Berlin to at least 138, more than double the figure for all of 2010.

The rise in Berlin car burnings coincides with widespread lawlessness that erupted last week across England. More than 1,500 people were arrested as rioters looted shops, attacked bystanders and burnt autos. In Berlin, far-left extremists are specifically targeting German luxury cars, symbols of the country’s wealth and export prowess, police said.

  1. yep. those big bad evil cars are gonna pay. never mind the globalists, banksters and politicians.

  2. Clean your sunglasses, stand up straight, and it will happen to you in this country.

  3. There seems to be a lot of white terrorist lately who want to kill and hurt the wealty. This car vurning will be held against them as they also shoot their own for burning their cars.
    The wealthy is laughing at all of the ppl who don’t have the abilityto commit to anything above some tea party crap.
    Delusions and hate will by your end.

  4. The future EVERYWHERE is clear certain. See a BANKSTER or POLITRICKSTER in the street ? *(@!$($ bash him in the head .

  5. This is why we have the 2nd amendment – so we can SHOOT the bastards that try to rob and attack us! When what is happening in england and germany comes here it will be a little different. We are an armed people who will shoot to kill to protect our family and property! I just don’t understand why people wont shoot these bastards comitting all the “mob” attacks here in the U.S.????

  6. Not one single intelligent comment here. NOT ONE!

    #1 What they did was ILLEGAL
    #2 The particulate matter from the Burning Cars is POISON, especially around infants and toddlers.
    #3 Why was VW targeted? My 2009 Jetta Diesel gets 55MPG and has a SHINY INSIDE exhaust pipe.
    #4 The burned cars will be replaced. More pollution building new ones.
    #5 Most European cars get better Mileage Due to the fact that they run on DIESEL, and Diesel Pollutes LESS.

  7. Indiscriminate violence like this is wrong. If they were burning the cars of known bankers or other rats I could sympathize.

  8. Hopefully they don’t mind that I drive a Ford:)

    • If you look clean, they will mind.

      • BTW, anyone so oblivious as to park a Benz there did not earn the right to drive it.

        • Parking in Germany is different than it is in the U.S.. In some very old towns the streets are so narrow you can put two wheels on the sidewalk. Are you saying these people asked for it ? Don’t be so presumptuous.

        • Who’s talking about parking space.

          I clearly said the issue was a vindictive attitude toward perceived wealth.

  9. Riots will hit here next year. Wait and see!

    • We will squash any civilian VS civilian riots faster than they start. People in this country have been sitting around stuffing their fat faces with cheetos just wishing they could pop a few thugs in the head to liven up their world. I doubt it will be like that tho, UNLIKE the UK, someone like me will stand between both groups and remind these people we have a common enemy. We will point towards the police and whitehouse, and down they will go.

      • Rather than pageantry, the town parade featured people in their gym clothes.

        I wear a button down shirt, a shiny belt, fresh denim, polished work boots – all from a feed store – and hear comments about being too formal.

        I helped an old concessionaire move his snow cone machine. (The snow cones would be free. ) And, I’m made fun of for being too strong looking.

        I know these self-righteous people are capable of making a mess, but the idea of them being organized and effectual is a joke to me.

  10. Oh there exists far-left groups causing trouble too I see? Better explain that to the BBC who thinks all riots etc are only caused by the right. Mind you, they think barry is the best President ever the US has had!

  11. Too bad obomba wasn’t in those cars……….

  12. Burn Baby burn!
