Why don’t they have this damned summit on an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean? Fly everyone to it by helicopter. And shoot anything that comes near it even faintly looking like a protest. I’m wondering if G20 “needs” the publicity of the protests ... otherwise why not make it protest-proof?

There are plenty of islands all over the world that are almost impossible to get to without permission.

While some groups of protesters staged peaceful demonstrations, others torched vehicles and hurled objects at officers.

This is an example of why most news people are held in such low regard. If people are walking on the sidewalks carrying signs, and chanting or something, that's a protest. When they torch vehicles and hurl objects at police officers, that's a riot, and most news people can't/won't be honest enough to distinguish between the two.

...yes, but think of all those nice destroyers floating about in the proximity of the carrier :-)

Let them burn down all of Germany if they want.

Better yet - give it all to Russia.

I’ll agree with that. Let the Russians roll tanks over the rioters, if the Germans are too pathetic to control them.

Can’t understand why the continue to hold the G8, G20, etc. in EU third world countries instead of 1st or 2nd world countries.

I can see some promise for the water cannon. Need a way to put some pea gravel in the stream though

Why even send the police at all? Let them burn down all of Germany if they want.

If they let anything happen to folks like Trump and Putin, the place would be rubble as a result.....

These are apparently not the polizei of my father’s generation.

Those fellows would run draft horses through a crowd of protesters.
