i bet it was really uncool an heavy
two words: TEAR GAS.
having those drunken wasters ruin the show just isnt on is it? why cant they just work and pay to live like all the other sheep. damnation!!!
orrible people fake,self indulgent,aloof,over paid, anal snobs!!
who deal out shitty schools,shitty housing,shitty supermarkets peddling shitty food, shitty medical care and then create a bigger n bigger gap between rich an poor.
this is then used to measure success...ooh im doing better then u ive got ive got ive got.
some people dont wanna live that way. i dont know what u think but i think that spending money on weed and booze is better then spending money on tear gas and bullets to kill innocent people. so that you can maintain your death grip on a docile and contented herd of sheep who dont think.
and another thing those drugs were put here by bankers too!
If the drugs were put here by Bankers, good for them, I had alot of fun snorting smoking and imbibing pretty much every one of them.
This would not happen if Hamburg had a legal opium den.

in a nutshell i just think that running people up and down the world with military style police forces shouldnt be just brushed off with daft comments like some of the posts on this thread.
we are in germany and after all its recent history does have a stain where police/military is concerned.
When they start firing live ammo at the crowds I'll be right there with you crying foul.
and believe me if that happens it wont be time to start asking questions its already too late.
of course we need order, but not at any costs. to coin an american quote:Those who would give up Essential Liberty
to purchase a little Temporary Safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
are you saying that those that organize g8 protests etc have no case? those police forces could probably win some of those "punks" over if they enforced those laws on EVERYBODY!! not just the poor.
I mean i've been caught in tear gas coming out of a club in austin in the middle of a riot, its sucks, but far less than being trampled by a herd of drunk angry sheep.
and if you think its going away it isnt its gonna increase many people feel that the government take the rank piss out of their taxes (have you seen whats going on in england lately)?
these same people run the police force and the armys of this world .. i think we should help those rioters!!!
Good quality video of the riot.
