Czech anti-Roma protests end in arrests

Look at that, this is "future of nationalism" to you? All the people in the photo combined have an IQ of less than 100.

This is simply a skinhead protest, nothing to see here.

So what is the ideology of those people?

As far as the article says, they simply protested against Gypsies.
In other words, they are simple racists, some kind of skinheads or something, not nationalists.

Is it not obvious they have a far-right ideology? Fascists...

Well yes they protested against gypsies because they are a huge minority in their country as well as leeches in their country... What do you expect them to protest against? Democracy? They are protesting against one of the major issues in their country...

So you don't like them and judge them because of their haircuts and the way they look?

I wonder what would happen if any of us "Nazis" start judging others by the way they look and say they have an IQ less than 100... We would immediately become "racists" and we should be killed (as I often here hypocrites say on this forum)...

I can't be 100% sure, but it is a very good indicator.

Czech anti-Roma protests end in arrests



Hundreds of far-right activists have staged anti-Roma marches in towns and cities across the Czech Republic.

In some areas, stones were thrown at police who responded with tear gas. At least 75 arrests were made.

Amnesty International expressed concern earlier this month over the planned marches, urging officials to protect the Roma community.

The Roma are among the poorest people in Czech society and Roma leaders often complain of endemic discrimination.

The worst clashes during Saturday's seven rallies took place in Ostrava and Ceske Budejovice, Radio Prague reported.

In both cities, the marchers left the approved route and tried to reach areas with large Roma populations.

In Ostrava, around 600 protesters pelted police with stones and at least 60 people were detained.

In the city of Plzen about 400 people took part in an anti-Romany march and about 15 arrests were made, local media reported.

Human rights activists staged counter-demonstrations in several cities including the capital Prague.

Earlier this month, Amnesty International warned that anti-Roma feeling in the Czech republic was getting worse.

"We have seen a deeply worrying trend over the past year with entrenched discrimination against Roma reaching new heights. This is a fundamental issue that the Czech authorities can't ignore," said Amnesty International's John Dalhuisen.

In 2010, four right-wing extremists were jailed for an arson attack on a Roma family in Vitkov in which a child was severely burned.

The Czech Republic has a Roma population estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000.

I wish that sort of feeling against Roma gypsies was here in the UK.

It is, in your home.

In my shire we have gypsies in fairly large numbers, everyone who is English and tax paying resent their presence here, but a unified voice for group action against them would be battered down by the police and human rights laws...at the moment.
