Oh & a political comment: This Delta Variant has come in from Australia due to our opening of the borders & Kiwis
wanting to come home as soon as something untoward happens. They were supposed to get a test clearance before
leaving Australia but not all were honest about this. A group of a hundred tried to get back in without the required tests
& this may well be the result of it all. All those politicians & other people that had pushed for the borders to be
reopened, are now strangely silent about their efforts. None of them have put up their hand & said that they were partly
responsible for this out break.

Several hate slogans against bikers have appeared along the Schwarzwaldhochstraße
(B500) between Baden-Baden & Plättig. The messages are once again insulting the
dispute over motorcyclists, noise & frenzy. A topic that also affects the district of
Freudenstadt. Baden-Baden/Kniebis – It is death threats against motorcyclists that
capture the view along the Black Forest High Road, which is popular with bikers. "Lie down
in your coffin" is written according to the report of SWR Aktuell in yellow letters on the
road. And since last weekend, the message "Drecksau – Biker Trash" has been
emblazoned on the wall of a wooden hut. As the Offenburg police confirmed to the Black
Forest messenger, these & other smears appeared in the night. The trail of slogans begins
at the entrance to Baden-Baden & extends to the district of Freudenstadt. However, no
new messages have been added in recent days. The police are now investigating in all
directions & not only because of property damage, as it was first said. There is still no
trace of the suspects. The problem: The paint used is a mass product. "We are clearly
dependent on witness evidence," says the Offenburg police station. & the appeal also
goes to the biker scene itself. "It's only possible together," the police spokesman says to
the motorcycle community – with the hope of a peaceful coexistence between
motorcyclists & residents in the future.
If the perpetrators are found, they face a hefty penalty. According to the police, this ranges from a fine to 3
years in prison – depending on possible criminal records & other factors. How much the substantive statements can
influence the sentence, the police did not want to say anything yet. That is later a matter for the public prosecutor's
office. Paint smears have also appeared in the district of Freudenstadt, as the responsible police headquarters in
Pforzheim reports. "Verrecke" & "Kein Mitleid mit dem Pack" are emblazoned on the B294 between Seewald &
Freudenstadt. There, on July 19, a motorcyclist was killed in an accident. Whether there is a connection between the
accident & the embassies is unclear. More smeared places in the district are not known to the police headquarters
Pforzheim.Schwarzwaldhochstraße: Car & truck drivers also race, wishing someone an accident or even death is the
lowest level. That is not possible," says Helmut Klaißle, head of Kniebis. The place is not directly on the B500, but is
also repeatedly affected by speeders & noise. The head of the village distances himself from the hatred of
motorcyclists. "They are road users who are travelling too loudly & fast. This also includes truck & car drivers," he
clarifies. Some of them are members of the autoposer scene, who "heat up in the 50s zone at 130 kilometers per
hour". Klaißle always tries to appeal to the reason of the racers. "95% of road users drive decently. It's only a small part
that thinks they have to organize a race track here," But Klaißle's appeals to road users are not always taken into
account, as he himself knows: "Some people can no longer be reached with reason. Only punitive measures are
effective." & in his opinion, these should be violent & make themselves felt in the purse or on the driver's license of the
perpetrators.Link to the original contribution of the "Schwarzwälder Boten" from 21 Aug. 2021: https://www.schwarzwaelder-
