ACTIVISTS clashed violently with riot cops in Germany setting cars ablaze, looting shops, throwing petrol bombs and trying to gatecrash the convention centre hosting the G20 talks.

Hundreds of extra police were drafted in to the streets of Hamburg in a bid to keep the increasingly violent protests by anti-globalisation rioters under control.

But as these shocking images show the port’s streets were once again turned into a burning battleground.

Around 200 police officers were injured, dozens of activists had to be taken to the hospital and more than 70 protesters were detained.

Uh, shocking images? Who's shocked? As expected from billy boy DUH-blazeros peeps. Did he get them fired up for a fun day today at the speech this morning? There is a little gratuitous imaging near the end of the piece.

It enrages them when you call them Left-wing neofascists.

They tell you don’t know what a fascist is.

I tell them I know what a neofascist is.

So looters and arsonists equals “protesters”?

What are people who blow up buildings called?

Didn’t I read Bill de Blowhard left NYC before a memorial for the woman cop that was shot by that black guy to join the g20 protestors in Germany?

What is hard to believe is Blowhard had more respect for foreign terrorists than NYC police.

‘What are people who blow up buildings called?’

“Re-modelers.” ;)

Kathleen Mueller, a 56-year-old protester from Potsdam near Berlin, criticised police for what she said were “brutal responses” to overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations.

Mueller said she’d come to Hamburg to stop rampant consumerism and to tell leaders that “we need to … rethink our economic systems.”


This shows the mentality involved. Burning down a city is called “overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations” and the Great Crime they are fighting against is other people buying stuff.

I wonder how much she has curtailed her own “rampant consumerism”. I bet she buys a lot of stuff herself. But that doesn’t count.

He’ll supposedly be back in time for the services. Unless he’s busy helping give instructions to some “re-modelers” as someone called them. And to think, there is a possibility he could win a second term.

The Hamburg Police need to do something truly Traditional, get a couple of 1815 era cannons out of a museum and roll them out in the street then give the rioters that “whiff of grape.” If that proves insufficient a backup minigun on a truck would be nice.

The article didn’t mention the helicopter pilots that were blinded by powerful lasers pointed at the cockpits. What assholes these people are.

Leftists’ idea of income redistribution is to riot, look and burn other people’s property.

They’re not folks with whom a civilized exchange of views is possible.
