In case anybody outside believes that Germany has a very pro-refugee sentiment: There's a hate mob hunting foreign-looking people in Chemnitzhttps://www.dw.com/en/fresh-dueling-protests-break-out-in-chemnitz/a-45242473 …

We're looking at a pogrom-like situation in Chemnitz. This is a bad time for sealioning.
I'm saying, don't get depressed that 1% of 1% of the population are showing themselves to be awful human beings. An overreaction is also bad: it makes those few look powerful in having provoked it, and they don't deserve that. Any response has to be proportionate.

Though that's not to say that more of a response than the authorities have enacted so far would be beneficial. I think you know much better than I do about what they are and are not doing...
-
The authorities have literally enacted no response whatsoever.

There are already very real consequences and harm being done to everyone not looking sufficiently German. Staying silent is not a measured response.

Also, it's not 1% of 1%. We're seeing large-scale effects of Facebook-driven radicalisation of entire cities spilling over onto the street. There is research on this.

the hard in a proportionate response is to find what is proportionate and how you assess the externalities. For ex, given what is happening with climate (and with the level of knowledge we now have), one can argue that taking planes is a crime against humanity.
