Civil Unrest Explodes In Berlin - Over 3500 People Riot Against Police
Zero Hedge ^ | 07/11/16 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/11/2016 11:20:56 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The biggest and most violent protest in Germany erupted in Berlin over the weekend exactly with our models calling for an explosion in civil unrest.

Some 1800 police were called in and at least 120 policemen were injured in what is becoming a street battle. This has been the most aggressive and violent protest in Germany for the past five years.

Protesters were throwing bottles, cobblestones and fireworks, as well as they destroyed cars in addition to attacking police officers. It appears at least 3,500 rioters took part in the uprising and possibly more than 4,000.

The protest is against police operations and involved mostly young people who have risen up against the police operations in the Riga street area. Protesters wore black hoods carrying banners with slogans like “Riga defend 94” and “Housing solidarity against state terror.”

The demonstration went on with the crowd chanting repeatedly: “Bullenschweine get out of Riga!” Demonstrators were throwing firecrackers and police fired back with tear gas. The police also called in air support using helicopters and they had to call in for reinforcements from Bavaria, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and the Federal Police.

Interior Senator Frank Henkel (CDU) announced that the police will also be present at night after the demonstration, so riots and arson attacks should be stopped...calling the riot a "leftist orgy of violence."

With September's elections looming we suspect the tensions will only get worse.

The Baader-Meinhof gang, which ravished Berlin and Germany back in the 1970’s, had been in business for years before that, as Germany has its own version of “Red-diaper babies”.

Who was the Baader-Meinhof Group?

The Baader-Meinhof Group was the popular name for the Red Army Faction, a leftist terrorist group active in Germany from the early 1970s through the early 1990s. The name “Baader-Meinhof” came from two of the leaders of the organization: Andreas Baader, a radical convicted arsonist, and Ulrike Meinhof, a prominent journalist who helped break Baader from police custody.

Who was in the Baader-Meinof Group/Red Army Faction?

The group was almost exclusively made up of young Germans, who were generally middle class. Many of the members were former students. One of the defining characteristics of the organization that has been rarely replicated by other terrorist organizations is the almost equal distribution of men and women among both the leadership and the ranks. At its height, the group might have had as many as 50 active members.

Never numerically great in numbers, they had hoped to stir up a popular revolution among the lower working-class people of Germany, but revulsion to their tactics of kidnappings and bombings lead to the arrest and incarceration of most of the main players, others fled the country. But the seeds of their rebellion never really went away, and now this crop seems to have germinated and sprouted, spreading new fruit and and taking over whole areas of decaying urban areas.

Probably by now, they are about to join in common cause with some of the new Muslim immigrants, and we may soon see this revealed with the list of names by which they are now known.

Gentrification= whites with jobs

Ah, people who work extra hours to fix up their neighborhood, rather than make it a cesspool. Gentrification, a term not applied to all groups.

My bet is still MUSLIMS - getting everything, giving NOTHING.

IIRC, it was a bunch of mohammedans who gave us the 10 decimal number system. Yes, they gave us Zero. They have been giving zero ever since. But, I guess that is the same as giving NOTHING.

Gee it was just a few days ago our resident (anti-Trump) "Berlin_Freeper" was singing the praises of how much everyone in Germany loved Merkel since Brexit.

Merkel's popularity continues to grow

Brexit vote boosts support for EU in Germany

I think it’s because we haven’t quite got to full-on Socialism yet. The system still relies on trade and capitalism to keep the wheels turning. When the state gains complete control, this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated!!!

Your post above is spot on, Mr. Radical.

This is why the upcoming election is so critical. We'll have a clear-cut choice between a capitalist and a socialist for president...or we can go the way of other countries like socialist Argentina where they're starving in the streets and socialist Germany where they're rioting in the streets.

The rioters seem to be squatters and nearby Section 8 type of Gov’t housing.

Starting a fanboy club? LoL!

Sorry a poll in a country across the Atlantic Ocean caused you so much angst that your crushed little psyche needs to lash out days later.

Had no idea of your existence till now. I haven't posted opposed to Trump in months since the primaries. So your butt hurt goes back a lot longer than a couple of days.

I'll recall you now though from your childishness... I did not post how "everyone in Germany loves Merkel". That would be childish and idiotic. Add to that this trouble has nothing to do with Merkel but is about Left Wing lunatics fighting the police because they were evicted from places they occupied illegally... and that makes you a complete idiot.

When you harass someone, get it right numbnuts.

Berlin: A simmering dispute between leftist squatters and the authorities in Berlin erupted overnight into what the police on Sunday called "the most aggressive and most violent protest in the past five years."

These hippies and commies don’t vote for Merkel and CDU. They have their own crazy hippie-commie parties. Merkel is right wing compared to these.

Socialism rewards irresponsible behavior. If you subsidize bad actions, you will get more bad behaviors.

Yes, that is a frequent result,because socialism promises nirvana, but can not deliver the promised goodies, then reality sets in, frustration builds, and the result is violence, riots, demonstrations, shootings, anarchy, marches, arson, looting and bombings.
