There was a series of brawls in some of the outdoor pools this summer, which together with the eternal fear of immigrants caused a media frenzy. (Berlin's pools where suddenly national news) This is probably the reaction to those events.

It will all work out fine, cause good intentions and idealism just force reality into pleasant shapes.. but then again, it is those who want it to work out fine, who constantly highlight group differences, preventing the melting pot from working. Its good that these places exist, merging the people into one meta-group identity (Menschen in Deutschland), its bad that people like you try to with the best intentions sabotage things by sweeping problems under the rug. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_civil_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_civil_war

  Thank you for pointing out the Lebanese civil war. People have to read more into it to understand what is happening in Europe right now.

This is not unique to Germany, we had similar incidents in The Netherlands.

  It is also not unique to pools. You can not go to parks anymore after dawn, Düsseldorf, Cologne and more cities check for weapons if you want to go to the city on a weekend and have fun.

    I live in Dusseldorf and never noticed any crime at all, tell me 1 park I cannot go after dawn?

    I'd like to ask for a source on this. I live in Cologne and I've never heard of such unsafe parks. I do see increased police presence during events like Karneval, but that's not unreasonable with tens of thousands of people drinking and partying on the streets.
