Status Updates From White Terror: A True Story ...

Again, amid the quite shocking accounts of the incompetence and racist assumptions of the German police as they investigated these terrible murders, we find confusing statistics supposedly there to make the reader feel that Germans’ opinions about immigrants are wrong… but which actually bear out the opinions… (insofar as such opinions are worth taking seriously)

The book is a bit all over place, structure a bit unclear, too many names, and some corny writing at the level of the sentence. However, when JK begins to introduce the victims there is no doubt about the power of the story, the dreadful repercussions for the families, and the appalling incompetence of the German police, with their fixation on the theory that the crimes were committed by immigrant mafia.

I hadn’t realised just how many neo-Nazis there are in Germany. Horrific. The ones we have here in the UK are complete amateurs by comparison, thankfully. // But while we have a whole book about the descent of three young people into racist murder (serial murder, possibly twenty victims?), within a few paragraphs we pass by the racist murders of thousands of Kurds and Alevis by their fellow Turks. Free pass?

mortifying read only 43 pages in. wtf
