Top German neo-Nazi plummets 200 feet to his death while hiking on Hitler’s favorite mountain

It was a view to die for.

A top German neo-Nazi plummeted nearly 200 feet to his death while hiking on what is believed to be Adolf Hitler’s favorite mountain.

Andreas Münzhuber, 37, a senior member of the Bavaria faction of neo-Nazi group The Third Way, was climbing Untersberg mountain on a 30-person tour when he tripped on an exposed wet root and fell 196 feet down rocky terrain to his death on Sept. 29, German news outlets reported.

I came across this in the NZ Herald and automatically checked that is wasn't 1 April. I wonder if he minds that a half-Japanese worker prepared the equipment for the operation and that a mixture of Asian and Polynesian staff will be preparing the food he eats. They should have kicked him out of the hospital.

Yep, the racist prick should've been invited to find himself a different hospital more to his liking. And assuming he needed some donated blood at some stage, he'll have to find somewhere that vets their blood donors by race as well.

My son, who works at NSH, reckons that they should have put a wee note with each of his meals explaining that it was prepared by Asians, or that he be told he can't be served any food or have his room cleaned because Asians are a significant % of the hospital staff and they refused to look after the racist scumbag.

Surprised we haven't seen more of it in US. SCOTUS would probably enshrine it in law.

Pull that shit in London and there's going to be nobody to look after you.

Handshakes.
What is it with every lad under 40 nowadays that feels the need to try and squeeze your hand ridiculously hard when shaking hands. Some bullshit contrived way of trying to show their masculinity. Shake hands normally you wankers!!

[Uncle fester]

Toughen up you old princess

Plenty of wet fish handshakes out there still

[fishfoodie]

To add I had to intervene in one patient v staff incident and one patients family v staff incident

I recently spent a couple of nights on a ward, where I was the youngest patient by a couple of decades, & there was one guy who was lucky I didn't hobble over in the middle of the night & put a pillow over his face !

He was okay by day, but he was obviously tickling over the edge of senility, & at night he'd wake up & not have a clue where he was, but he turned into a vile racist, misogynist cunt.

As ever in my experience the staff are absolutely brilliant, & can't do enough for you, but they have a really tough number, & they just don't have the capacity to put the problem cases in lower occupancy units so the rest of us can just get a nights sleep, & the staff don't get abused.

One night when FIL was in his most boisterous bolshi phase of his hospital stay he tried to organise a breakout “lads my cars downstairs, as soon as these lot get out we’re making a run for it”

This apparently went on very loudly all night, every 15 mins or so.

Yeah, proper tough gig, for staff and other patients.

It is, & it's why it's a real vocation; there's a limit to what they can do, & they know that the poor sod isn't themselves, & they can't be blamed for acting out when they've been taken from that place where they have some small measure of familiarity & dropped into the place where they wake you up & stick needles in you & there's no-one you know.

Civilization might be three meals away from anarchy, but for me it's more like 72 hours without a few hours sleep.

..... on the plus side, the hospital food was surprisingly good; I've had worse in the staff canteen

1 in 3 staff in NHS in SE are non UK registered so good luck anyone trying the racist shit there and getting treated! My last surgery here in Embra was done by a very professional Indian surgeon and I was looked after by a fantastic team of nurses from Scotland, Ireland and Africa nations. The anesthetist was English I think. If folk want to be racist then make them go private and pay extra for what they want, perhaps Farage will set up an AllWhiteHealthcare Insurance Company? If they are in the NHS then they either behave or get chucked out. No time for racist, misogynistic c**ts.

[epwc]

No time for racist, misogynistic c**ts.

During the time of FILs stay the consultant was under investigation for a complaint against him, as was one of the senior nurses. The senior nurse has now left the NHS, we had a party for all the people that had been involved in his care and the guy (white British) was emotionally broken, he said he needs to take a break before he goes back into the NHS.

The people who complain generate a huge amount of admin work throughout the system, and have a real impact on the delivery of healthcare. That's why the default position is "lets try not to upset the racist misogynist cunts".

Good article in the NZ Herald about the recent racism row at North Shore Hospital:

North Shore Hospital patient request to avoid Asian staff: We cannot put up with racial intolerance in our health system - Dr Nina Su

...In a public service such as Te Whatu Ora-Health New Zealand, managers are more likely to undergo mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion training. So why, when given a textbook example of racism, did [NSH] management respond by perpetuating it to their own employees?

Best-case scenario, these management decisions were made out of compassion for the patient and protectionism over our Asian staff. But this is not compassion. This is patronising, condescending and at worst, an infringement on basic human rights by an employer prohibiting their employees’ ability to do their job solely based on their race. Even more concerning are the allegations people were prevented from speaking out.

This sets a dangerous precedent.

BERLIN (AP) — A brand-new fire station in Germany, which was destroyed in a fire, causing millions of euros in damage and destroyed equipment did not have a fire alarm system, local media reported Thursday.

The fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Stadtallendorf fire station in Hesse and destroyed, among other things, the equipment hall and almost a dozen emergency vehicles, German news agency dpa reported. Initial estimates put the damage at between 20 million and 24 million euros ($21 million to $26 million). No one was injured.

Local officials told dpa that no fire alarm system was installed in the building because experts had considered it not necessary — much to the astonishment of many observers now that the station has burned down.

Beaumont was a shit Captain, of a shit side, & he's now a fucking predictably shit administrator !!

Sure the other Unions would like more money, if it involves Qatar it's just fucking sports washing for a bunch of vile cunts.

Wildlife services are working to rescue a cockatoo called Mickey that has been “living on brioche” inside a Sydney supermarket for four weeks.

The New South Wales environment minister, Penny Sharpe, on Tuesday promised the bird was “not going to be shot” after false rumours of a “kill order” had spread online.

The minister said she had directed the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service to work with grocery retailer Coles and rescue groups to help save Mickey.

“National Parks is in contact with wildlife rescue groups and staff at Coles Macarthur Square,” she said. “Mickey will be freed.”


Sharpe said wildlife rescue organisation Wires was planning to deploy another team on Tuesday to try and rescue the bird and “release him into the wild where he belongs”.


The bird has been stuck inside the Coles supermarket in Campbelltown for weeks, according to the Sydney Metropolitan Wildlife Services.

On Tuesday morning, another cockatoo, Old Lady Doris, was taken into the supermarket by the Feathered Friends bird rescue director Ravi Wasan in the hope Mickey would be reassured by her presence.

The plan looked like it could work, with Mickey initially flying down, before being spooked and retreating out of reach.

“He’s really scared because there’s been so many attempts – people trying to catch him,” Wasan said.

“He’s so scared but the other cockatoo, obviously, is so loving that it really reassured him. We got so so close … and then they opened the emergency doors and it spooked him.”

Wasan said Mickey looked “physically fine” and was not hungry because he was eating “really well” in the supermarket.

“He just needs to chill out, relax and come down without thinking that people are going to try and catch him,” he said.

“The exits where the cockatoo would go out are also the exits for patrons, so he just has to realise that the patrons … aren’t terrifying, which is obviously challenging when he sees everyone as a potential threat.”

Well, what a surprise, Chris Kaba was a violent, drug dealing cunt, causing misery in his community, and not the saint that the media have allowed his family and friends to paint him out to be. Maybe now you would hope that we don't have to put up with the nauseating choreographed displays from his family and friends trying to turn him into the UK's George Floyd.
Sadly I doubt it as the media will be hoping for community unrest and riots to fill their 24 news cycle. Even today the BBC were leading with "police officer cleared of murdering unarmed motorist" when they should have been leading with "violent gangster lawfully killed by police". They would have known his background all along but chose to ignore it.

Whilst I appreciate there should always be legal oversight into police shootings, this one was always nonsense and police forces are now a gnats cock away from having no armed response and then pricks like Kaba will have a field day.
