we were squatting a farm on the landside.
we were peaceful and respectfull to the house we were squatting. we have already been in contact with the owners and the police. everything was going well.
then on saturday around 9.30pm a group of 10-12 fascists wearing masks all in black and one wearing a combat 18 sweater attacked us with wooden sticks, planks and pepper spray.
we are all shocked.
indymedia, antifa letters and all to come up soon.
for the german speaking:

we did yesterday a spontaneous action with ~60 people. putting letters in all mailboxes informing about organized fascists in theor pretty little village. also put up a banner on the former squat.
fascism is still around, active and organized!! stay active!!

It all happened very quickly, merely a few minutes, "says a resident of the occupied house on the street Matzenried the" Bund ". The shock is still deep: On Saturday evening, shortly before half past nine clock, the house was stormed by force by a group of men. The attackers were armed with batons and masked with balaclavas. "She ran into the house, beat up one of us and threw furniture out the window." That goal of the attackers was probably to evict the squatters and squatter. These are only moved into the house on Thursday. The property is owned by a community of heirs. The sale to the city, however, is imminent. "We want to treat a city, the living room as living space and not abwerfendes as capital investment object," they wrote in a statement.
The attackers apparently belong to after the right-wing scene. One of the attackers had according to what the squatter a sweater with the words "Combat 18" to. Combat 18 stands for "fighting force Adolf Hitler" and is the name of a violent neo-izan group that is active throughout Europe. The numbers 1 and 8 refer to the initials of Hitler, or their position in the alphabet.
Already the first person controls
The Canton Police Department is aware of the incident. "We have been called by the squatters, because masked people have gained access to the house," said police spokesman Nicolas Kessler. He also confirmed eyewitness reports that already the first identity checks have taken place "in connection with the incident." But a political background of the fact he does not want to speculate. "Everything else is the subject of investigations."
The squatters and squatter have recognized at least one of the attackers. This is because they have received a visit from a group of right-wing men on Thursday. "They asked us to leave the house," says the squatters. The group had the grounds that the squatters were contrary to their actions "against the traditional values of the country." The estimated 30-year-old men had occurred very aggressive and had spoken threats of violence. To assault it but did not come on Thursday. "The men were not masked.» The squatters and squatter suggest that the two incidents, the same people were involved.
Yesterday afternoon they have performed together with sympathizers a spontaneous demonstration site. Around 50 persons moved by Oberbottigen. The rally was peaceful. "We wanted to shake up the local population," says the squatters. It assumes that the offender from the neighborhood come and are known among the inhabitants in Oberbottigen. "You probably everyone knows everyone." Although the squat is on city soil, the environment around the Matzenried road but is sparsely populated and has a rural character. Whether you will file a lawsuit, you have not decided yet. "I just hope that people do not look away."
Google Translation massive.

Facists attacked a free gaza march that was held in Cardiff a few weeks back. Lobbing chairs at women and kids, pouring beer over muslims, and generally trying their best to be as uneducated and thuggish as they possibly could.
All football hooligans, all racist, fat, slimy, thick tnuc builders who read the sun and eat unhealthy amounts of pork.
Apparently there's a Welsh Defence League they're all a part of. The notion of that, and the sheer irony of a 'Welsh' arm of the EDL, makes me simultaneously laugh and terrified.

lol, why do you think people squat?
Usually homeless, drug and mental heath problems, a lot of them working but don't earn enough to pay rent/save up for bond, and some of them do it for political reasons, some are students who can't tell the difference between a squat and student digs, and a tiny amount of them are freeloader wasters.

Phrex doesnt seem like a homeless drug addict, thats why I was asking about why he was doing it.
Like I said I dont understand the mentality of someone who squats for, as you say, political reasons. I'd just like some insight from someone doing it, or someone who is for it. I

when it's politically motivated, it's often to do with making use of buildings which would otherwise be left unoccupied because the legal owner has no use for it/has chosen to leave it empty. i think it can definitely be a good thing as long as it's done in a positive way, it's usually done as a kind of protest against landlords who buy property they don't need just for the sake of profit
i'm no expert though by any means so anyone who knows more feel free to correct me!
glad you all didn't come out of it too bad phrex, sounds super shitty
