In the 1970's West Germany suffered from severe series of domestic terrorism.
The Rote Armee Fraktion RAF.

@tribelaw October 20, 1977, former chancellor Helmut Schmidt held a speech on the responsibility of the democracy to protect his citizens, as also had been outlined by the German Supreme Court.
He said :
... /2
@tribelaw "The Federal Constitutional Court did in the early Morning hours of October 16 on behalf of ours People recognized for right: Articles 1 and 2 of ours Of the Basic Law oblige the state to to protect life. This duty to protect is full.
.../3
@tribelaw She commands the state to protect itself and to put it in front of this life in a promoting way; this means above all, it also protects against unlawful attacks by Preserving the pages of others.
... /4
@tribelaw Have at this commandment all state organs, depending on their particular Tasks, align.
All state organs!
... /5
@tribelaw The Constitutional Court added: The Basic Law establishes a Duty to protect not only towards the individual, but also towards the entirety of all citizens.
... /6
@tribelaw The exercise of this double duty set anticipate that the state organs take their action the diversity of the respective concrete situation without Adjusting to a specific behavior can."
... /7
@tribelaw Looking at my German history, I must say to my friends overseas:
The 45 th President of the United States of America incited domestic terrorism which even attacked the democratic institutions itself.
He must be hold fully accountable.

We must protect OUR democracy.

@tribelaw Please read the list of victims.
The Red Army Fraction has been idealized by left thinking people over the time in a way which ignores the level of criminal energy and murder they committed.

@tribelaw And I want to leave the photograph of a dedicated American citizen who died for her conviction that democratic freedom has to defended also on the domestic inside by all of us, every day:

"If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention"
