team migrant alternative for germany party has said extremists have threatened to assassinate her because of her political beliefs christina bomb urge the media and other political parties to stop in her words using a hate campaign against her party evangelos tips us picks up the story for us. the i if the politician christina has posted a picture on social media of across with number of insults written on it but also a very serious threat towards her the cross was discovered by the if there politician near her office where she works as a dentist on wednesday evening the police do not know who the perpetrators are but since this is a threat towards a local politician they have passed on the investigation to the domestic intelligence services office the alternative for germany party has quick to condemn

the attack and urged the media and political parties to stop spreading their hatred against the ai if the. thread to move just the tip of the iceberg attacks on i have to officials are becoming more and more common that 1st officers and events of the were attacked and now it's apparently against the line a health of all politicians. while many politicians have come out to condemn this threat towards kristina brown the greens who have seen a fair share of threats towards in the past say that these types of incidents should not be tolerated but a social democrat politician has called out christina bell as being a liar this is not the 1st time though that the if the politician experience an attack towards her but if we go back a little bit from the beginning of this year there's been a number of threats and attacks towards politicians from many sides of the political spectrum and all this comes as pressure has been a mounted on a of the politicians by the c.d.u. n c s hugh calling to boycott them and impose

a blanket ban of anybody cooperating with them they even went as far as saying that even having a cup of tea or coffee with them should be prohibited. again that reject any form of cooperation with the dea even if it is just sicko. well it seems that the political landscape in germany has been changing with a decrease of popularity form the c.d.u. and their speed to the increase of popularity for the specially in the eastern states of this country while these attacks are becoming more dominant in politics in germany critics are hoping that this will not turn into a disturbing trend. it's been a rocky start for some u.s. presidential election campaigns with several runners already stumbling up the 1st hurdle and dropping out but it seems the b.b. yoda character from a star wars spin off could be quite a successful candidate if it through its name into the 2020 presidential race let's

break down to a few according to a recent poll baby yoda is trending all 2020 democratic hopefuls on social media including frontrunners joe biden and bernie sanders but that's not going ringback to stop those to the many others still up for consideration striving to be labeled that perfect rug as the of the story. in this imperfect world of ours the who really grill these finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really try every 4 years in america elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate the smallish chink in there who you are than that is enough to sink him or her and i really mean this smallish chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate

polls he's a darling i'm a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but the nod is see he went too far he helped. homeless participated in salvation army charity events and that's a christian organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues aren't the only thing. is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the salvation army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the act of destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than booted shorter within a seriously antique with salvation army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in you

haven't dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her cries as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasn't black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a presidential candidate then you have bernie sanders who spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d.n.c. election rigged against him last time around but bernie is the doesn't get it america doesn't want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a $15.00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and there's no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernie's well you know principles

and decency he's just ancient. good ideas. much like former vice president and controller see magnet joe biden e's neck deep in just. the weirdest stuff even getting really close and taking the night sniff of people's hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot are sure he can remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to his memory isn't what it was then we have elizabeth warren who hasn't quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed that she tried to pass yourself off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made

up. no one it seems is good enough homosexual whole move a black woman who isn't black enough an old man that's obsessed with helping the people that need help biden in his head sniffing and seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldn't need pick so much if you know they had something else to talk about if these people had a plan beyond beating trump a clear plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean seriously. living stuff. ok i want to keep attention stateside because the man acquitted of murdering trayvon martin an unarmed black teenager and 2012 has launched a lawsuit asking for $100000000.00 in damages the original case as you may recall

sparked the black lives matter movement in the u.s. . in february 2012 trayvon martin was returning from a trip to the grocery store neighborhood watch volunteer george zimmerman thought he was acting suspiciously during an altercation mr zimmerman fatally shot the 17 year old claiming it was an act of self-defense he was later cleared of 2nd degree murder and it seems even 7 years old division over the case remains as real as it.

it was one of the most resonant criminal cases in recent u.s. history the 2012 shooting of an unarmed african-american teenager a stark reminder of america's racial problems the vigilante george zimmerman saw the unarmed african-american teenager trayvon martin while patrolling in his neighborhood he then shot him dead family of trayvon martin has always maintained that this was a case of murder but george zimmerman's claim of self-defense got him a verdict of not guilty in court but now george zimmerman is going back to court he's going to sue the martin family as well as the prosecutors claiming they did irreparable psychological damage to him because of their arrest charges prosecution and federal investigation zimmerman lives in constant fear of physical harm due to regular death threats which often are expressed in rap music as well as online social media commentary this move has got the black community theorists many

calling the zimmerman's move obnoxious this is why we will never be silent and continue to fight fully variation in justice. george zimmerman has punched through the bottom and sunk lower than scum i don't care how specific the allegations are he deserves nothing except prison time i fail to understand the logic i mean how absurd can american legal system be now the attorney representing trayvon martin's parents says that this lawsuit is reckless and unfounded i have every confidence that this unfounded under richesse lawsuit will be revealed for what it is another failed attempt to defend the indefensible and a shameless attempt to profit off the lives and grief of others 7 years on from the death of trayvon martin and the woes seem on heal for martin's family and for

george zimmerman and us society also as wounds that are sore and open the divide is getting wider well those of us who are waiting with these nature of us resort lation this tasteless no surprise we all know that there has been a virtual reign here on. the white population of united states not least during the battle day to slavery while the decade your star party this reign of have been exacerbated but is your work the moment was which is ripping but then day oh it's certainly infuriating the white population at large were 3 upon one slain it would not surprise me at all if there were massive books of the rot in florida in coming days and weeks and it was starts in a direct you so this film a lot so i hope that you 3 month martin family are
