In fairness; there has been genuine attempts to resolve this, and there may be complex issues that have a degree of difficulty unforseen. I am sure many have put alot of time and patience into the matter. Publicity may work against those who care and are doing all they can. It is in no way a fair way to guage the behaviour of all people and the country.

Big Brother is a rabid racist. WTF? Money was donated to these poor people, and they aren't getting it? Would someone please run this story to the EU or US, where angry public opinion would force local Czech/Vitkov officials to resolve the problem in record time. Tourists should stop visiting this place if Czech officialdom is going to tacitly support racism like this.

I gave money to the victims of this terrorist attack and I am angry that the money should not go to them and should instead be stolen by local authorities. I see this as a scandal. When will I get my money back and when will the perpetrators of this fraud go to jail? This is the last time I donated money to someone in the Czech Republic. People in the Czech Republic, including the flood victims, will simply need to help themselves.

I am also angry that the authorities of the Czech Republic have repeatedly failed in their most basic task, which is to protect potential victims of Nazi terrorism. If the Czech authorities do not wish to do this and instead provide protection to militarized Nazi units operating in the Czech Republic, all necessary steps should be taken by the international community in favor of the potential victims and against the regime which enables these criminal activities.

This is a daming enditement of institutional racism and a disgrace. Those who pledged money should set up a seperate fund and transfer the funds outside the duristiction of local officials. '3 months or the end of the year' shows a compasion that is so neglagible that a senior government official needs to resolve this within 7 days. Today at senior govt meetings someone needs to show that they want a Czech Republic that cares, and give some urgent attention to a national scandal that taints any credibility of a decent society.
