VIENNA (AP) — Two apparent homophobic attacks were reported following Berlin’s annual pro-LGBTQ Christopher Street Day celebration on Saturday, police said Sunday.

In one incident, two girls, aged 16 and 17, and a 15-year-old boy were confronted by a group of nine people in Berlin’s Mitte neighborhood on Saturday evening. The group approached the two girls and made anti-gay remarks to the two girls, police said, presumably because of their clothing.

When the 16-year-old girl answered, one man in the group knocked her hat off her head and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground. When she stood back up, the same man punched her in the face, then fled.

1. Nazis really are brave. Nine men vs. two women

pack attitude and strength in numbers. Always attacking people who they feel is weaker, this time children.

I wonder how they would fare one on one with no protection against someone my size: 6'2", 260, and has arms bigger than my wife's head.

2. I thought Germans were better than this

make Nazis deplorable again

4. The far right is growing in Europe.

It’s not near as bad as here in the US but it is growing.

3. Homophobic a-holes. Why can't people learn "To live, and let live". n/t
