“This Was A Warning” – 'Citizen Vigilante' Director Explains His Message

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
If the government's not going to do any, this is what I'm trying to go to, because this movie was made, my opinion, but let me ask you, because you're the creator of the movie, how much of this movie was to inspire? How much of this movie was to entertain?

**Uwe Boll** (0:15)
No, I think all my movies always have to entertain too, right? So they have to be not boring. That's the worst thing you can do with a movie. And unfortunately, a lot of movies are too boring, but it is not to inspire to burn the city down. It is to bring the pressure and to open the eyes of this kind of vogue left people who close their eyes and don't want to see the reality. They never had contact to violent people.
They never saw people getting beaten up. I mean, I saw it nonstop when I was young, right? So, and that's the thing. It's like they have no experience with violence in a way and that how fast it can escalate, you know? And they sugarcoat it. They just think that's not, whatever, accepting it as long they don't get it. A lot of these people, I think, if they are one time in their life in a dangerous or violent situation, they would maybe start thinking a little different about it. You know? So, and that's the thing. It's like, I was in Berlin, actually this year, and they played my movie Run, and that was Amanda Plummer, like, it's also about a kind of refugees, but they played the movie in the movie theater. So I went back to the airport at nine o'clock with the subway and then the street cast, basically. And I was completely alone. And the last things, because it was the late flight out, there was nobody in that thing besides me, and five or six, like, they looked like Arab gang members. And they saw in a way, I had like a glass bottle in my hand. I always buy me a glass bottle before I do stuff like this, you know, because a glass bottle is a perfect weapon.
And they didn't, they didn't do anything with me. So they felt like, nah, it's not worth the risk. But if I would be a girl in that subway, in that streetcar thing for like 20 minutes completely alone in the middle of the night, basically driving there, she would definitely not be safe. They could grab her out on any station what was holding because the Berlin airport, the new one is very far out of Berlin and you go to no man's land for like 25 minutes. So, and they could grab her out there and she would be toast. So, and that's the thing. It's like, why they were in that-

**SPEAKER_1** (2:46)
What do you think needs to happen to those six, seven men that say would have raped her? Because I had Rupert Low on the podcast two weeks ago. He wrote the report on the 250,000 rape accusations of 87% being Pakistani. I had the whole report. I read the whole report. I had them on. We had the conversation about it. If the government's not willing to do anything to those who rape these individuals, what do you think needs to happen to them?
Say the government does nothing. Say the next 20 years, they go rape another 5 million people, the 5 million innocent young girls the next 10 years. Do you think, what do you think the average, somebody who is a gangster, mafia, street guy who has nothing to live for, do you think it's okay if they go take care of those seven boys, men that raped that 14, 15-year-old girl?

**Uwe Boll** (3:40)
No, and that's the same. You know, it's like, if this would happen to my daughter, and these guys would be free, they would be not safe. That I can tell you, right? So they would like, if they're not going to jail for what they did, in my case, they would be not safe, that I guarantee you.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:58)
And you will be comfortable you going to jail. If these guys did something to your daughter, because you brought it up, you would be okay with the consequence of what happens to you.

**Uwe Boll** (4:10)
Yeah, if they catch me.
You know, so yeah, so and that's that's a thing. But I understand that a lot of people would just live with it and would be very sad about it and would be depressed about it. And they have a miserable life. I mean, the thing is where I flipped out on that journalist in Hamburg, who even said the perpetrators are also victims, victims of wrong integration. So now these people, the rapists, living 15 blocks away from the girl.
