Though, they don't seem to be blocking any roads...:huh:

It kind of looks like they piled up a bunch of shit in the middle of the road and lit it on fire to me. That strikes me as a possible obstacle on German Mono's commute.

Unlike Mono I consider this a necessary evil of democracy. I rather have few burned police cars and hurt police officers occasionally due to idiots rioting than limiting the right to protest against whatever grievance one can think of.

A police speaker says it's "a new quality of violence." Some former police have replied, "Meh, we've had MUCH worse in the past." (Personally, I think the protests against nuclear power/weapons in the 80s or the between left scene and police in Hamburg's Hafenstraße were bigger/worse than this.)
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I don't see the conflict.  The right to burn cop cars and hurt cops is limited.  The right to protest peacefully is not.

QuoteGermany riot in Frankfurt targets new ECB headquarters

Dozens of people have been hurt and some 350 people arrested as anti-austerity demonstrators clashed with police in the German city of Frankfurt.

Police cars were set alight and stones were thrown in a protest against the opening of a new base for the European Central Bank (ECB).

Violence broke out close to the city's Alte Oper concert hall hours before the building's official opening.

Thousands of "Blockupy" activists were due to take part in a rally.

Organisers were bringing a left-wing alliance of protesters from across Germany and the rest of Europe to voice their anger at the ECB's role in austerity measures in EU member states, most recently Greece.

Police set up a cordon of barbed wire outside the bank's new 185m (600ft) double-tower skyscraper, next to the River Main.

But hopes of a peaceful rally were dashed as clashes began early on Wednesday.

Tyres and rubbish bins were set alight and police responded with water cannon as firefighters complained they were unable to get to the fires to put them out.

Police spokeswoman Claudia Rogalski spoke of an "aggressive atmosphere".

The ECB's new headquarters cost an estimated €1.3bn (£930m; $1.4bn) to build and is the new home for thousands of central bankers.








Damn those Muslims!  Another failure of MultiCulti! :(

What about when the Muslims slaughtered the people of Amorium?  Were they failures of multiculti then?
