Oh well if it's now 49 larpers and the cosplay prince then the German State is in grave danger.

The German police have said they expect many more arrests. I don't know what larpers are.

How many does it take to kidnap and kill a few government employees in their plot?

 As mentioned before, the Reichsbürger movement has 21,000 members. It is around three times bigger than the Proud Boyz in the U.S.

Larpers are people who engage in LARP: live action role playing, and they ‘fight’ with plastic weapons, like swords and such. As you have probably noticed, Pattaya Spotter is doing his darndest to downplay the danger of these right wing nutbags. As in the USA, however, German authorities and intelligence agencies are now identifying right wing extremism as the biggest threat to democracy.

Probably not many...but a lot more for a coup against the German federal government ????

Exactly, only 4 to be precise and their plans did not only include the coup:

 

"In April, officers arrested four people who had been plotting to kidnap the health minister, Karl Lauterbach, and cause nationwide power outages. The police said that the suspects were linked to the Reichsbürger and anti-vaccine movements.

 

Among the items uncovered was a list containing 18 names of politicians considered enemies, possibly to be deported and executed"

Well, let's see whether this latest attempt to minimize the Fascist threat by pretending it was cosplayers has any validity?

Oh, what's this? Over 50 people arrested now and weapons found in more than 50 locations. A current judge and former Far-Right MP who had access to the Reichstag is among those arrested. Sounds like very serious LARPers! Throw them all in jail and throw away the keys, there should be no place in this world for Fascist scum.

Right. You think that they are armed only with light sabers?

One thing we know about fanatics in possession of actual weapons, is that they pose no threat. None at all. Nope. Nothing.

What’s even worse, the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, or Alternative for Germany), the party this MP belongs to, hasn’t disavowed her yet, or condemned her actions, and seems to have no plans to do so. No wonder the German authorities and intelligence services consider AfD to be a right wing extremist threat to the country.
