Wanna-Be Tough Guys Storm Refugee Shelter - Locals Gets Mouthy
Intruders breach asylum housing grounds – Resident disrespected - Unauthorized Male Intrusion at Asylum Shelter: Residents Suffer from Verbal Abuse
Here's the lowdown: A gang of four dumbasses broke into a refugee shelter in Upper Bavaria's Beilngries at the dead of night. These yahoos harassed the residents, telling them to respect the local language and pack up their stuff, and leave the town, according to the po-po. The authorities are examining whether, aside from breaking and entering and insults, hate speech was also deployed.
These knuckleheads, ranging in age from 39 to 52, sneaked into the shelter last Friday. Luckily, a cop patrol nearby responded to the commotion, and some action was taken to deal with these miscreants. Post-cop intervention, the suspects were set free.
What You Need to Know About This Type of Shenanigans in Germany
- Who's Usually Behind the Shenanigans?: Typically, the perpetrators are residents or locals fostering an anti-refugee sentiment. In some instances, these incidents are linked to far-right cronies.
- How Do the Police Address It?: German police, including Bavarian police, launch thorough investigations. They interview witnesses, examine security footage, and gather statements from affected residents.
- Keeping the Suspects Identities a Secret: If the identities of the suspects aren't disclosed in official statements, police may refer to "unidentified perpetrators" until warrants are issued.
Potential Charges Against the Shenanigans
- Criminal Trespass (Hausfriedensbruch): Under German law, unlawful entry into a building is considered a criminal offense (§ 123 StGB).

- Hate Speech: If insults or incitement are involved, hate speech charges (Volksverhetzung) under § 130 StGB could be imposed.
Current Status of the Investigation
- If the Story's Recently Broken: The status, as of now, is "under investigation" (ermittlungsverfahren).

Regional news outlets like BR24, local newspapers, the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, or police press releases may also publish updates. Good luck with your search!
- The community policy in Beilngries may need to address the rising anti-refugee sentiments, as seen in the recent incident involving four individuals breaking into a refugee shelter, resulting in a police investigation for potential hate speech, criminal trespass, and verbal abuse.
