Hamburg is on Fire

[The_Librarian]

Why not send the whole looting, burning etc etc crowd to Mars and let them have it off there rather?

 

[Hosehead]

Lol at water cannon. Useless bit of gear. Barely dents the umbrellas.

 

[Dan C]

So not just a SA thing, to set **** on fire, when you are not happy with an issue.

Even Adele set fire to the rain.

get rid of the ANC, and all these protests will go away as the DA shows us the future

What's that got to do with what's happening in Hamburg, Germany?

It was an offhand comment...tilting at windmills. As you were, Peppermint Patty.

Nearly 500 police hurt in G20 clashes

Hamburg - Nearly 500 police officers were injured in clashes with protesters during the G20 summit, officials said on Sunday, after fresh riots broke out overnight.

Violence continued to rage after G20 leaders returned home on Saturday, with far-left protesters setting fire to a number of vehicles into the early morning hours, police said.

Demonstrators gathered after the close of the summit in the Schanzen district, a stronghold for radicals which was the site of multiple confrontations since Thursday.

Armed with glass bottles and targeting vehicles, many of which they set on fire, the protesters were pushed back by officers, using water cannon and tear gas, police said on Twitter.

At a news conference, the head of operations for Hamburg police, Hartmut Dudde, said 476 officers had been injured since Thursday in a deployment of more than 20 000 officers, and 186 people were detained. No accurate number for protesters injured was available.

Earlier President Frank-Walter Steinmeier surveyed the damage and visited wounded officers in hospital with Hamburg Mayor Olaf Scholz, saying he was "shocked and dismayed" by the "will to destroy shown by demonstrators against police and private citizens' property".

"We must ask ourselves as democrats whether a few violent protesters can keep countries such as Germany from holding such international meetings," Steinmeier told reporters.

'Heroic'

Scholz thanked the "heroic" police for their service and the citizens of Hamburg who brought flowers to a military hospital where many officers were being treated, pledging compensation for those who suffered losses from vandalism.

I'm confused. By protesting the G20 it means they're anti-globalization. But they're supposedly left-wing which means they should love globalisation.
