Oh, the irony

Oh, the irony
I followed this story on our own news for some time. If the people he loves to hate hadn't come along, he could have ended in a casket.

Quote:The German far-right NPD party has taken the highly unusual step of praising refugees for their humanity, after a group of Syrian asylum-seekers administered first aid to one of its candidates involved in a car crash.

Stefan Jagsch, an NPD lead candidate at this month’s local elections in the Hesse region, lost control of his vehicle on the road between Altenstadt and Büdingen on 16 March and crashed into a tree.

Syrian refugees include good men. Who knew?

The first thing that popped into my head was the story of the good Samaritan. And then it occurred to me that the story is not really about loving Samaritans, so much as as individuals valuing individuals and that while the NPDs may praise a few "exceptional" individuals they are unlikely to change their collective mind about refugees as a group. They will persist in seeing groups not individuals generally. And there will be more irony.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I wonder if Drumpf thinks that makes them better than Mexicans?

That would depend on how well they clean his pool, mow his lawn, and clip his hedges.
