"We Were Ready to Fight": Inside the German Synagogue
(Daily Mail-UK) Chris Pleasance and Tim Stickings - Jewish worshipers, including 10 Americans, watched on security cameras as the neo-Nazi attacker tried to break into the synagogue in Halle. Roman R., 31, told local media that the majority of those inside - including the elderly and children - went to find shelter while Roman and five other men barricaded the door to the prayer room, called police, and then prepared themselves to fight back. Fortunately the doors held, explosives that the attacker placed at the doors did not go off, and flammable liquid he sprayed at the building failed to light. The shooter's father told Bild that his son was an angry loner who was always online and "always blamed everyone else" for his problems.
