"Gypsy Hunts"

Also in the 16th century began the "gypsy hunts." Not unlike a fox hunt, the Gypsies were rounded up and hunted for sport. This savage practice was prevalent in Switzerland, in Holland up to the 18th century and reaching as far as Denmark. No crime needed to have been committed by these people in order for them to be incarcerated or hunted down like animals.

In 1589 the King of Denmark decreed that any leader of a Gypsy band was to be sentenced to death. Honors and rewards were given to those who would participate in Gypsy hunts and capture them. These hunts continued as late as the 19th century.

A great Gypsy hunt covering four districts of Jutland took place on November 11, 1835. The day brought in a bag of over 260 men, women and children.

A Rheinland landowning aristocrat is said to have entered in his list of game killed during a day's hunting:

Item: A Gypsy woman with leer sucking babe. (Kenrick 1972:46)

In Germany and other countries the law supported this treachery. Martin Block, the Gypsiologist, had recorded the following German law enacted in Aachen in 1728:

...in order to root out this brood of rascals... whether the Gypsies resist or not, these people shall be put to death. Nevertheless, those who... do not counterattack may be granted at most half an hour, to go on their knees and beg of the Almighty, if they so wish, pardon for their sins and to prepare for death ....(Greenfeld 1977:61).

In an account of the "miserable state of these people," the scholar Grellman stated, "They were not always looked upon as human creatures, for at a hunting party, at one of the small German courts, a mother and her child, were shot like a couple of wild beasts." (Greenfeld 1977:61).

did gypsy persecution it already reached peak with the nazi or is a bigger genocide yet to come?
what can gypsies do, what can society do?

Gypsy hunting sounds like a bloodsport that needs to be engaged in by Europeans.

what can gypsies do, what can society do?

Gypsies can leave the nations they have infested. Society could financially secure this reality.

parasite, infested, plague thats the most common words used when dealing with Roma people as if they are not even humans. You think gypsies should be hunted down and killed like animals. did i got that right from your first sentence? how can a human be so cruel and insane mind?

I wouldn't actively join in with a hunt, nor would I want hunts to occur, but let's be honest here, IM, I really couldn't care less if they were.

this happened in the past, right now gypsies have a moment of peace in europe at least from the state/system/government, but anti-roma sentiment in society is still very strong.....

[Thunor]

It's a shame that the noble tradition of hunting gypsies has been abolished. They're an infestation in Europe, and I could not care less if they're hunted down.

If anything, we need to organize "Mexican hunts" on our southern border...

what if someday whites get hunted down and killed just like gypsies were? would you still say its "noble"? and if not why make the difference?
