Jobbik protests for death penalty

By

Supporters of the radical nationalist Jobbik party held a demonstration in western Hungary’s Devecser on Sunday, demanding the re-introduction of capital punishment in Hungarian law.

The demonstration, which carried the motto “Live and allow to live – protest for legitimate self-defence”, was attended by some 1,000 people, Jobbik’s local MP Gabor Ferenczi said.

Participants gathered in the town centre and then marched to a neighbourhood inhabited by the local Roma community.

Ferenczi called for reinforcing the local police force and said that his party wanted “peace, order, and security” without any ethnic-based discrimination.

Ferenczi insisted that the death penalty should be re-introduced in light of Hungary’s increasing crime rate.

The police cordoned off the demonstration to avoid possible clashes with local residents. At some point, however, the protesters and locals started throwing stones at each other, in which Ferenczi was hit and injured lightly.

    Why is not “Jobbik” demanding that the Hungarian School-killer in Pecs is killed off asap?

    “On 26 November 2009 a shooting occurred at the University of Pécs. A student killed one 19-year-old student and injured three other people: another student, a faculty member and a janitor were wounded by gunfire. The incident occurred during an internship for pharmacy students in the Institute of Biophysics. The 23-year-old perpetrator entered the classrom and opened fire with a handgun, then fled. He was arrested in about one hour.”

    * Why should we the Hungarian Tax Payers keep this guy alive?
    * Why has “Jobbik” not organised any demonstration in this murderer’s middle-class area, where he grew up?
    That area obviously produces mad murderers, maybe they all should be sent to a camp to prove that they are ‘decent’?

      Becuase that killing was a one off in the Hungarian middle class.

      For gypsies, it is not a one off, its their culture, and they do it all the time.

        How many per year?
        And how has that increased the last 50 years?
        The stats are out there – now you prove it

        So, what is the reason to wait to kill Roma *after* the committed a crime?
        Would it not be better to kill them off, before?
        Just think of how many “Hungarian middle class” lives that can be saved by this ‘tiny effort’?
        Right – how many lives would have been save the last ten years if there had been no Roma in Hungary? – You have the stats, so you tell us?

        When will “Jobbik” demand that the “Debrecen Nazi” are to be set free, as part of their ‘successful work in legitimate self-defence’ while killing 6 Roma randomly
        Because, admit it – these 4 guys are the Real Hungarian Heros, are they not?

      Statistics show Hungarian violent crime rate decreasing over the last 10 years.

      I posted a link in a comment a few weeks ago. Google it if you like.

        Crime rate has appeared to decrease, because the police is getting lazier and more corrupt, thus they catch less and less criminals every year.

        1) A lot of crimes go unreported.
        2) Even if they do get reported, the police simply laughs it off and goes away.

        I am talking about crimes like gypsies stealing crops from the countryside, gypsies stealing livestock from people, that kind of thing.
        Those things simply seem to small for the police to bother with.

          Since when has “Crime rate” anything to do with the Police “catch less and less criminals every year”

          Crime rate is *reported* crimes and *violent* crimes that causes severe bodily harm or even death are *always* reported in the stats

          ‘Petty crimes’ may have a tendency not to end up in the stats in certain area due to a deliberate attempt to keep the numbers down

          So when will ‘magyar’ show the stats for that how many ‘white middle-class Hungarian’s’ lives would have been saved if there had been no Roma in Hungary, let us say the last 10 years?
          You know ‘magyar’ knows the stats in and out and every crime that is behind it

          • Magyar

            Between 10 thousand to 300 thousand

            Given that the homocide-stat for Hungary shows that homocide has steadily *decreased* since 2003, when 229 died to 133 in 2010

            The average in the countryside (highest in Hungary) is on par with UK Scotland and there we know there are many Roma…

            Just shows that ‘magyar’s’ unproven stats are just ridiculous as himself

    wow……. pretty good Viking and Pete H. I am surprised that there is nothing our lovely Magyar can say about that! Someone should go check on him, he never shuts up!
